The following beautiful and deServ-
ed tribute to a neighboring valley and
town and their clever and hospitable
people, We clip from the LcWisburg
Chronicle:
West Scsqnehanna Chassis of the
church which met III Rebers-
burg on the 10Th ult., adjourned to
meet in SelOnsgrova OH the first We'd
nesday of May 1881. From the follow.
ing extract from the proceedings of
the late meeting, we are led to believe
that tender chickens do much abound
in Brush Valley: ''The only fault TO
find with this valley is its name, Brush
Valley without the brISh. IlsCead of
brush it is a valley of broad fertile
fields. In no other valley does the
earth yield her increase mora bounti-
fully. The very sight of the waving
grain maketh glad the heart of man.
Nestled in the heart Of such rural fer
tillty, Rebersburg's cup of plenty lit
orally runeth over. The valley is mar.
row, but the hearts of the people are
large, and greatly given to hospitality.
Never did families open tEeir doors
wider and load their tables heavier for
guests. The pastor loci is in this re.
spect also an exam le to his flock.
The physician of the town is in no wise
found behind in this grace Of hospital
ity. We liked his prescriptions. True,
be insisted on large doses, but they
were not hard to take.''
