Just as We go to press, we are in
formed that G. w. Foote, son of our
townsman John d. Foote, staying i'll
Mifiinburg at present, was so severely
injured, as to endanger his life. We
could not learn the particulars of the
accident.
Up to this time we have not heard
of a single dwelling house or other
building 10 so up next summer. For
several years past Millheim has been
doing we'll in the building line, and we
much desire to see improvements so on.
Cannot about half a dozen or more of
our younger citizens see their way clear
to build?

The sale of Rev. J. G.. Shoemaker,
which is to come off at the Reformed
Parsonage, Aaronsburg, on the 25th
inst, will afford rare opportunity to
persons wishing to buy first class furni-

PRoFESsoR JOHNSON, of Williams
port, better known as Blind Charley,
gave us some very excellent singing in
the Methodist church on Sunday eve
ming. Nature has favored Mr.. John.
son with fine voice which is we'll cul-
tivated, ard this, coupled with thor
ough knowledge Of music makes him a
first class performer. We haven't
heard anything finer in the line of sing
ing these MANY years than The Life
Boat a nd He Leadeth Ne, as sung by
Mr.. Johnson. Hope he will come soon
and give full concert.
Fra NIX J. Weaver, residing Just be-
low Aaro nsburg, sent us an apple OF
the King of Thompkins county kind
that mea sures l44 inches in circumfer-

ounces. The Weavers are no doubt on
the best kind of terms with Providence
else they wouldn't always have such
fine apples and potatoes. Our teelina
and wishes in the matter are that about
a thousan d men would eath. send us
one such apple or if one man would
bring us a thou sand it would answer
just as well.
