In the afternoon Mr.. Jas. l.. Diyen conduct
cd a half hour Bible reading on the subject of
Conservation. Chlldren's meeting was then
held for about an hour and half and address,
ed BY Messrs. Bernhezel, Brlckley, and shu-
maker The children we're led In singing by
Mr.. Joseph Wagner. After this the discus
sion Of hlndrances and dlscouragements and
how they could be removed, occupied the re-
mainder Of the afternoon. Mr.. Smith Of Ger
many, Mr.. Geo. Hoobaugh Of Green Park and
Mr.. 3. A. Kast of Landisburg, leading of ON
these three topics. II got little doleful and
monotonous until near the end, when q little
llvelier discussion arose as to ho~ 10 remove
difficulties and clouds from the Sunday School
horizon, and also from the heavens of our Con-
vention. The evening session was opened by
answers to half dozen or more queries which
had been handed In during the afternoon. In
the absence of Rev. McDanald, Mr.. 3. A.
Kast opened the first question of the evening,
Whose special call and duty Is II to encour-
age and promote the cause of s. 3. instruc-
tion 70
The second and last subject was opened by
your correspondent on the question, "Can tho
church of Christ In It's Individual membership
consclentlously withhold Its active support
from the workl" He answered the question
negatively on the ground Of the age and APP
provai human and divine which the Sunday
School had on Its side, on the ground of its
efficiency as means of instructlng children,
and the Importance socially and reiigiously of
this as one means Of instructlng and saving the
children, who are most important, IL not the
most important factors in modern civilized and
enlightened society.
The celebration Of the one hundreth annver-
sary of the Sunday School as an organization
TO be held In England this year was alluded TO
and other points of interest brought out. The
President followed on the same subject and
the exercises came TO close. Ellottsburg,
Lutheran church was chosen as the next place
of meeting The choir sang very ably during
all the exercises, and friends near and from
afar who were in attendance seemed tosenjoy
this part of the programme at least, whatever
may have been the case with the literary
features Of the exercises, very much.

MIR. EDITOR I'VE think few items from
our Valley might be of interest to some of your
readers we will sketch few of the improve
ments that are being made.
Mr.. Samuel 10y has built q large and COM
modious house, the best now in the Valley !;
Mr.. Nathan and Daniel Drexler have each
erected fine houses, Daniel Drexler, also,
barn /; Mr.. II. Warner is putting up large
bank barn. These buildings are all within a
radius of quarter of a mile. Coming still
further down we find Eli Keck building new
house of good size, and little further down
we come to Mr.. j. Nunemaker, he is also
building new house. Crossing over we find
VIM. Aliens new bank barn almost completed.
This gentlemen has also the foundation of q
new house ready, and will have his house up
ere long. Leaving the Valley and going to the
top. of Mt. Dempsy we find that Jesse Miller
has built new barn on the site of his old one
which was burned last fall. Still further on
is the Leonard Silver Mines. This company is
now sinking a shaft in search of the hidden
treasure the prospects are encouraging.
Still onward we come to the highest point Of
the mountain, at which place the ensign of
American Liberty waves from lofty pole

following:

the upper end of what your correspondent,
&c. F.," termed the Switzerland of Perry

honor of a Mr.. Henry; he having erected the
first house in 1t. OF this house no trace re-

We have Tannery, two Sawmills, one Grist-
mill and one,School House. The one sawmill,
owned by P. A. Ahl, is saving several large
bills of lumber for the manufacture of cars.
The Tannery had the misfortune of having
its funnel blown down during storm of wind
last week. Happily no one was near 1t at the
time.
The school house serves as a church and
school house, and we have preaching in it
once in four weeks, by Rev. Diehl of Bloser-
vile, Cumberland county. We do our market
ing in Newyllle, which requires journey of
ten miles.

of Mr.. Jesse Sheaffer, in company with anoth-

temperance Meeting Proceedings.

The Temperance Union met in the
Centre Union church, in Bucks Val
ley, on Saturday evening. President j.
C.F. Stephens called the meeting to order.
A selection of music, oh, Come to the
Fountain" was sung, when Rev. j. II.
Dubbs read the Oath Psalms and part Of
the 9th chapter OF Galatians and led in
prayer. Whittier Than Snow" was
then sung, at the conclusion of which
Mr.. NJ. Il. Eshleman introduced Rev.
Dubbs to the audience, who gave most
spirited lecture on intemperance, and
which was rare treat. The lecturer
was in earnest in his subject, holding
his audience spell-bound for more than
an hour. The topic was handled with
out gloves, the speaker leaving not o
stone unturned. After " L Love Thee,
my Lord" had been sung, the solicita-
ton of new members was proceeded
with. Rev. Dubbs again took the floor
and advanced few plain arguments and
asked some practical questions relative
to the evils of intemperance. The
meeting closed by singing the long me-
ter doxology.

down the track.
Plundered In Broad Daylight Mr.. VIM.
A. Adams resides in the frame row ON
Louther street, east of the spring, and
attends our market as atrucker to obtain
livelihood. 1t Is the custom of the
family to close up the house while
market is progressing, no danger of
robbery appearing, as both houses adj
Joining were constantly occupied. A
woman and child had been boarding
with the Adamses, and had also been in
the habit of attending market. It had
been the custom to lock up the whole
house, except the back windows, and on
Wednesday, Mr.. Adams told his guest
to close them, too, when she left for
maket. Market over, Mr.. and Mrs.
Adams returned home, intending to go
to Philip Hommon's sale, but, ii being
noon, concluded to eat dinner first.
While preparing dinner Mrs. Adams
noticed that some plant boxes on the
windoY had been moved, and expressed
fear that the house had been robbed,
her husband secuted the idea, as the
house and alley were locked and neigh
bors could see the back windows, which
quieted her fears, but did not dispel
them. The sale was attended and the
party returned home in the evening.
Mrs. Adams, In preparing supper, dis
covered her purse cut of Its usual place,
and an examination showed that the
money 1t had contained, $1.35, was miss
ing. This instituted further search.
A pitcher on an upper shelf in the cup
board was used as a receptacle for mon
ey, and, in the morning, contained $22,
which, also, was gone. Proceeding up
stairs, bureau was found ransacked-
one drawer being turned topsy-turvy.
There was nothing of value in the
bureau except half-dozen silver forks,
belonging to a friend of Mrs. Adams,
and these were gone, gold breastpin
and some other trinkets lying on
the bureau were left undisturbed. A
summer lap robe had been taken from a
bureau drawer, thrown on the floor and
spit into, to convey the impression that
a tobacco chewer had committed the
robbery but all who examined IL are OF
the opinion that the dark saliva was the
product of coffee essence. There was
other money in the house, but Mrs
Adams had secure hiding place for it
and her foresight saved it. - Carlisle

Shall We Have II t2--The following arti-
Gle which we copy from the Democrat
OF last week is one of interest to every
person in the county, and 1t so fully
meets our views that we ask our readers
to give 1t their attention.
C We would like to hear from more of
our upper end farmers in regard to the
construction of a railroad to Newport.
Surely they are very sick and tired of
the last five miles of mud through
which they have to drag their heavy
loads and which consumes all of day,
including return to this borough on
their way home. 1t would pay them to
help build q road. If made this far, they
may reasonably expect to see it sooner
or later extended up the valley. 1t
must have beginning and they would
find it to their great advantage to assist
in making the first five miles of 1t. 1t
would pay them in saving of time,
trouble, and tear and wear of teams and
wagons, to help this enterprise. From
the day the first five miles are complet-
ed they will be the gamers to as great an
extent as any of the citizens of this
troll of it, manage it and fix the rates of
all the freight carried over it. They
have the means to build it and if enough
of them take hold of it, would never
miss the money they put into it. With
their assistance the work could be put
under contract this Spring and by Fall
and the return of mud, the iron horse
would relieve them of five miles of the
worst part of the road to market. 1t
will be nominated in the bond" that
not a dollar of the money can be ex-
been subscribed to grade every foot of the
road to this place. L here need be no
fear of the funds being uselessly squan-
dered. Not spade or pick will go
into the ground until the success of the
enterprise is assured. Let us hear from
some of the enterprising men of the
valley to the west of us.
