ORIENTAL S. 5. CELEBRATION

Ou Saturday Aug 30:h the Oriental
Sunday School under the SuiSerintend-
ance of Mr. Lewis Carvell held a Cele.
oration in Baxtresser's Grows, Susque-
hanna township.
The weather being propitions quite q
crowd assembled in that beautiful grove
at about 10 O'clock M. The School
came in procession with beautiful sing
Ing when all resumed seats al opening
prayer was offered up by Rev. Mr..
Boughier of the u. b. Church.
Rev. 8 g. Dressler o! the U. C.
Church then read the sixth chapter of
Ephesians and delivered a short address
followed by addresses by Rev. Mr.
Boughfer aud Daniel knouss.
Tue hours Of noon having now ar
rived an in'ermission was had sufficient
to spread the bountiful tables with the
good things of the earth and # full jus
tlce was not done at the tables then
your reporter is willing to confess his
ignorance of knowing of what is doing
justice to good dinner. After a
general shaking of hands, and every
one having spoken a few words to each
OF his acquaintance, order was again
restored aud appropriate address ieliv,
cred by Adam Wilt esq and Mr.. G, G
Hornberger closing prayer by Rev. s.
u. Dressler. All the exercioes we're
interspersed by beautiful singing BY the
school.
Taken all in all, this was the best S.
5. Celebration your reporter had the
pleasure Of attending for years. Levity
was laid aside. No dancing platform,
c } instrumental music was there, as we
consider the voices of our dear little
ones sweeter than any instrument ever
:agented by man it is to us next to the
voice of God. All the exercises were
calculated for the religious instruction
of young aud old, and were duly
appreciated By all present.
The whole affair was lavorably CON.
mented upon by people from distance

There has not been so favorable time
IL the history of the Republican party of
this county for the election of its candi-
dates tC Office as now. Such large per-
centage of the Democracy are dissatisfied
with the management that they cannot
longer brook the run of affairs, and are de-
tormined to have a change. All that is
necessary to insure the election of Kelly
anl Caveny is that every Republican sees TO
it that he goes to the polls, and uses his in-
fnence from this time on to the election in
favor Of the Republican nominees. There
may here and there be character whose
politics is more matter of commerce than
anything else. They should be se.n, and a
guard put on them, SO that they do not in
suence more than their own vote.
