"A splendid private residence with
the good will of Il medical practice for

The papers say that the days are
getting longer but that Is not true.
The cloudy, gloomy weather takes off
piece at each end, and this makes
them shorter.
MI. Israel Confer broke ground the
other day for n new house on Penn
street. This makes two new houses to
lie built next summer. Hope The num-
Der may yet be increased. Go in, yc
that are houSelesS.
That dreadful scourge, diptheria,
seems to be gaining Judgement in the
lower valley" Reighborhood, that is
below Aaronsburg. Two little girls,
daughters of John Zeiglerand Emanuel
Musser, died OF it in the beginning of
the week.
We had very friendly letter from
Rev. c. IL. Reiter, the other day. Mr..
Il. and family now reside at James
Creek, IIuntindon county, where he
serves congregations, and we conclude
from the general tenor Of the letter that
they are getting along right well.
In private letter from Prof. Jos.
II. Feehrer he informs lis that he is en-
gagged in teaching singing schools in
and around Selinsgroge and that he
meets with much success in this line.
Glad to hear it. Prof. L. has many
warm friends here. Hope he will take
1t into his head TO show himself around
here again before long.
The five cent counter WAS again
fully repleniShed the other day. Come
along now, just rs fast as you can walk
trot or run, for your dippers, gravy Ia
dies, sad iron stands, coffee pot stands,
tops, dfillerS, cake dishes, and number
less other articles of use and beauty.
Come.
Miss Josephine kauff!nlu'S Ger
man school opened on Tuesday evening
with some Is to IS pupils. Miss X. IS
a lady of superior accomplishments and
we are glad that so many of our young
folks are disposed to Improve this eX-
cellent opportunity to learn German.
Hope the school may be entirely sue
cesSfull.
The FIVE CENT COUNTER will be
kept up and replenished from time to
time, Notwithstanding the holidays are
over. Many of the articles sold are 50
popular ami SO cheap that the commu-
Eity would very much miss its five cent
counter, if the machine were stopped.
We mean to keep it a-going, friends

The Evangelical S. S Festival on
New Years evening, passed off to the
entire satisfaction OF all concerned, eX-
ceptlng that the conduct Of the audi
ence III the rear OF the church was not
quite what it should have been. We
had barely time TO 20 down before the
exercises commenced, to see the deco
rations, and these were fine indeed
Over 200 presents were distributed-a
larger number than were ever before
given out on any sim liar occasion.
Mr. B. Il. kleppar, of Bonneville.
was around and about here, more or
less, for several days last passed. Well
guess he has right to be. Ben is about
as good looking as any man in these
dlgglngs-cleyer-a good Lutheran
said to be an old fellow-gave poor lit
tie us a solid SILVER dollar; but on the
main question, namely what his real
business was, we can give no reliable
information. Hadn't the braz9u-faced
impudence to ask him.
Our Methodist friends, not wishing
to be behind the other Sunday Schools
III liberality toward the children, Oh
last Thursday afternoon presented each
member of the school with package
of confectionery and other Eice little
things. The Sunday School room was
tastefully decorated and everything
passed off pleasantly. 1lS persons ans
Wered when their names were called.
On New Years eve our band was
out to keep up custom as beautiful
as it is old-of uShering in the new
year with music. The band never
played better than it did on that calm,
silent New Years night. The boauti-
full music awakened responsive chords
of gratitude to God tor his infinite love
in years past, and 10 doubt drew forth
not few prayers tor continued guild
ance and protection.
Our old friend, Joseph Lose of Adj
amsville, Mich, writes us that they
had splendid slelghiEg out there over
Christmas, and that everything is live
ly and prosperous. Come in, once a
gain, Joseph, to see how we poor TEL
lows are getting along.
Mr.. William Cannon, Of Tyrone,
was around here the other day to visit
old friends and shake hands witt new.
