BLAIN, january q, 1879.

BLAiN, January Il, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR IL trust you will ex-
cuse me II l ask space in your columns
for the followlng;
The borough of Blain is situated In
one of the most delightful valleys in the
Keystone State. Our people enjoy all
the advantages necessary to comfort or
happiness. They seem to be prosperous
and contented Notwithstanding the
financial depression that has existed for
years, and are waiting patiently for re-
turning prosperity, when the hum of
industry shall again be heard through
out the land.
We are having winter in earnest
Sleighing Is excellent, and the merry
jingle of the bells from morn till night
indicates that the folks, old and young,
are enjoying 1t.
Protracted meetings are being held in
some of the churches in this neighbor-
hood. There is one progressing ut Stony
Point, three miles east of this place.
Rev. Frazier closed on at st. Paul some
ten days ago, with what success your
correspondent is not able to say. Rev.
Lindaman is holding one at Ic1esburg.
Rev. Piper commenced on at New Ger
mantown on Sunday evening, the 10Th
inst. Our pastors, one and all, are
laboring zealously for the up-building of
the Kingdom, and the welfare of their
flocks, therefore the inhabitants Of this
section have every opportunity to make
their peace calling and election sure.-
But whilst prosperity and happiness
prevail in the neighborhood, your cor
respondent cannot say that everything
Is harmonious in the borough of Bain.
About one month ago several of the
young folks in town and country decid-
ed to hold an exhibition for the purpose
of raising funds to defray the expenses
of boardwalk, In the suburbs of the
borough, where the City Fathers would
not be likely to erect one, and where one
Is badly needed. An organization was
effected, and the members of the society
ever since have been laboring with COM
mendable zeal for success. They are led
to believe that certain persons, not
friendly to the enterprise, are endeavor-
ing to break 1t up In various ways. Only
q few days ago report was circulated
by one of them that the proceeds were
to be applied to the payment of debt
on the Methodist Parsonage. am au-
thorized to say that the report is wholly
untrue. The members of the society
represent the different denominations in
this section, and they all know what
disposition will be made of the proceeds.
Your correspondent is unwilling to be-
lieve that any Of the ancient maidens or
premature widows of the borough of
Blaln are engaged in such disreptuta-
BILE business, but if they are, we hope
they will abandon their crusade against
an enterprise SO praiseworthy, and in
the future devote their leisure to their
own improvement, and have no doubt
that ere long they will be favored with
the smiles of an approving conscience.
The members of the society are deter
mined to succeed in spite of all opposi-
ton or misrepresentation that may be
better return to the paths of rectitude
from which they have wandered.
In the hope that this will not find its
way to the waste paper basket, remain
yours truly, OCCASIONAL.

party gathered up the robe, cushions,
&C., and started by shank's line to COM

at home safe with the sleigh, and after
running twice around the alley by the
jail, was caught by the hostler. He at
once drove out to see what had became of

half mile from town. They were on
their way from the Inauguration when

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland county
papers of last week:
On Friday night, the 18th inst. the
school house of the independent school
district was broken into by some un-
known person. and q bunch of KEYS, q
hatchet, knife, some postage stamps,
paper and envelopes taken.
AT o congregation meeting of the
Lutheran Church of New Kingston, on
Sunday, it was resolved to build o. new
church on the site of the present edifice.
The new building will be much larger
than the present one, to meet the wants
OF the growing congregation, and will
have rooms on the ground floor fitted up
for Sabbath School purposes.
Our readers will remember an account
given in the TIMES few weeks ago of
the amputation of an arm of Miss Rote,
under peculiar circumstances. Gan
creme attacked the limb without any ap-
parent cause, and, although the physi-
clans had hope that the life of the pa
tient could be saved, she died few days
ago. The deeply afflicted parents have
the sympathy of the entire community
in their affiiction.
On Wednesday night of last week,
party of young folks had party at the
house of Mr.. Musselman, in Monroe
township, and when they were about
getting into their sleigh to start for
home, Howard Nissley's horse got away
from him and ran off. He was found
next morning at Boiling Springs. The
lines had been dragging along on the
ground and happened to catch at stake
and thus held the horse until he was
secured, and the owner informed of his
whereabouts.
The old Pine Grove ore bank turned
out novel product on last Friday in
the shape of large male deer. His
buckship had probably been attracted
by the water ia the bottom of the bank
or had scented the salt which was used
to keep the tramways clear of ice. His
tracks showed that he entered the bank
close to the big pump, which operates
day and night. He was discovered by
the men when they went to work, and
after lively chase, during which he
swan several times across the pond in
the bank, he was captured and stabbed.
He seemed unable to find his way out in
the excitement of the chase. After
keeping him for day and a half and
finding that he would not eat, ne was
liberated at four o'clock Oh Saturday,
and never did deer run with more en-.
couragement than was given in the
cheers that followed him as he cleared
the fences and bitches.

X Swindlers Around.-Last week two ped
dlers came to this place, and though pre-
tending to be strangers to each other,
both started out on the same route
One calls himself Roberth, and sells
spectacles, and the other sold stuff he
called jewelry. In Spring township the
jewelry peddler called at the house of
farmer and stated to the lady, that
he had been robbed of his mon
ey, and needed some cash badly to re-
turn to the city. He, therefore, desired
her to loan him $40, for which he pro-
posed to leave one of his watches and
jewelry worth very much more as Sc
curity. While talking to her, Roberth
came in, and by his repres entations she
was induced to advance the money.
Soon after they had left her husband
learned of the swindle, and brought
the jewelry to town, placing the matter
in the hands of j. E. Junkin, Esq.
On Friday Roberth returned, when he
was interviewed by Mr. Junkin, to
whom he gladly returned the money to
save himself further trouble. The watch
the fellow offers, to secure his loan,
costs about 50. We have heard of sew
eral other parties he attempted to swim
die in the same manner. The only way
is to deal with parties you know, and to
give peddlers wide berth.
