four convicts are necessarily confined In

months, the crowded condition of the
prison will certainly engender disease

the last.
The message is very complete and will
no doubt be well received by all parties.

Cheap Eating in California.

California can beat the world on eat
ing and drinking places. In some res
taurants, quite as genteelly furnished as
the Parker House or the Astor, a good
meal can be had for Is cents. Indeed,
the price is really nothing. You go into
the room; before you is a fine lunch
table, on which is soup, turkey, ham,
roast beef, celery. A well-looking man
is ready to serve you. You have what
you ask for and no charge. Opposite is
a long bar and over it a placard-drinks
10 cents. The drink carries the place.
Other restaurants are run on the 25 cent
plan-that is the price of the dinner
You select from the bill of fare three ar
ticles-soup, roast beef and pie. The
price is 25 cents; half bottle of i'm
ported wine and celery are thrown in.-
The crowd in these places are crushing.

Hy A woman in trance was recently
buried alive in Naples. From the evil
dence brought before the appeal court it
appears that she was inferred with all
the usual fOrmalities. Some days after
ward the grave in which she had been
placed being opened for the reception of
another body, it was found that the
clothes of the unfortunate woman were
torn to pieces, and that she had even
broken her limbs in trying to extricate
herself from the tomb. The court sem
fenced the doctor, who had signed the
certificate of disease, and the mayor, who
had authorized the interment, each to
three months imprisonment for invol-
untary manslaughter.

A Mothers Love.

On the Market square girl gave her
babe to Mrs. Cody Of Pilkington. Then
she continued to follow Mrs Cody through
the streets, the yearnings of her mothers
heart going out toward the little one, and
the struggle between necessity and a
mothers love was agoniziug. At last she
seemed to be resigned, and apparently
parted finally with her child. Next day,
however, she went to Mrs. Cody's home,
and, taking favorable opportunity, seized
the child and fled.

THE LEGISLATURE, after being in
session two days adjourned till to-day.
So far they have done nothing but quar-
rel over the position of old bills on the
calendar. The House after much dis
cussion unexpectedly decided to consider
all the old bills which were left unfin-
ished at the adjournment of 1877.
AS the Senate has positively refused
to enter upon any legislation unless de
noUo, a deadlock is almost certain upon
the meeting at the two houses this week.
The quarrel is not for the good of the
people, but is purely fight by the men,
bers IN the interest of certain local bills
in which they are concerned, and is only
another evidence that a majority are
petty politicians and not statesmen.

For The TiMEH.
The following communication was
crowded out of last weeks edition by
the report of the institute proceedings.
Sabbath School Convention.

Sabbath School Convention.
The First District Union Sabbath
School Association of Perry county, met
in convention at Markelville, Pa, on
Saturday, Dec. 18th, at 10t O'Clock, A.
M. After the Devotional exercise, the
Address of Welcome was delivered by
Rev. Andrew Comp, and responded to
by Rev. l.. A. Wickey, president of the
association. The names of the delegates
were then enrolled, but some of the
schools in the district failed to report.
The schools reporting, seemed to be in o
good working condition. There were
four sessions of the convention, the lst,
Saturday 10t A. M, to q p. M. End,
Saturday 9 F. M. 3rd, Sunday 10 A. NJ,
to 9 p. M. 4th, Sunday p. M. to p.
M. AT the first session of the conven-
tion Constitution was adopted for the
government of the association. The
convention was largely attended, and
the people seemed to be deeply interested
and delighted. Many important ques-
tions were discussed, and the impress
sion upon the minds and hearts of the
people was such as to induce persons of
good, sober judgment to say, The con-
vention is u success" A prominent and
important item of the work of the con-
vention was sermon preached by Rev.
John Kretzing, on the words "Sufer
the little children tq,come unto me, and
forbid then not: for of such is the
kingdom of God"
We refrain from any remarks upon
this sermon, lest we should only detach
from its real beauty and excellence.
The committee on resolutions reported
the following
Resolved that we ask the hearty coop
orsntt fNf fr, l.rn ..f l,a
church and friends of the Sabbath
school cause in behalf of the great and
good work i'm which we are engaged !;
and that we will put forth our best efforts
in behalf of the same, and that by labor
and prayer for the blessing of God on
our labor, we will endeavor to gather
the children into the fold of Jesus
Christ, who said, "Suffer the little chill
dren to come unto me and forbid them
not for of such is the kingdom of
God"
2nd. That vote of thanks be given
the good people of Markelville and vi
cinity for their kindness and hospitality
toward the members of this association,
hoping that they may realize that it is
more blessed to give than to receive.
Rev. Wickey offered the following
which was received and adopted:
Resolved that we kindly ask the edi-
tors of our county papers to publish the
proceedings of this convention.
The next regular meeting of the asso-
citation will be at the Buffalo Stone
church, in Saville township, in the
month of March, 1878.
All the Sabbath schools in the district
(Saville, Tuscarora and Juniata town
ships) are requested to send delegates.
