entertaining The services were conduct
cd by Geo. Harbaugh, superintendent,

very appropriate remarks.
The United Brethren Sabbath School

much praise cannot I've given to the follow
ing members of the school: Lima llar-
bangh, Ole Grown, May llarbough, Fannie
McI4anc, Clara IIarbaugh, Bertha Har.
haug,,. Nora IIarbaugh, Lizzie Working
and Miss Rosie Wnstler of Mechanicstown
presided at the organ. The entertainment
consisted of REGULATIONS, Destinations,
Dialogues and Singing. Addresses were
made by J. Banner and Rev. j. ID. Freed
Every one seemed ready for the part that
was given to them. The audience seemed to
be we'll pleased and many were the COM
pliments passed on those who had AZ active
part in the entertainment. | would add
that the young people of Sa3llasville do
no, know any such thing as fail when they
undertake any thing of this caaractcr
Places of much greater advantages might
be proud ofhavng young men and women
such as are in this community. Tack.
