MIFFLINBURG DEPOT BURNED
Early on Wednesday morning the oath,
the Miflinburg depot building was
burned to the ground. The fire was
discoyered at about > o'clock, but the
building was, SO soon wrapped in flames
that it was impossible to save 1t Oh
any Of the contents. 1t appears that
the fire started in the middle of the
building, in the agents private room,
bat by what means is not known. The
building was a good frame structure,
30x65 feet, and worth about $4,000.
The beautiful custom Of remember
ing poor editors with presents seems
to become more general-and indeed
we see no good reason why it should
not. To give where nothing is eXpectedin
return, is the true scriptural way of
doing. Recently Miss Mary Motz did
herself honor by sending a big, nice,
plu mpjekan, and Mrs. Jacob Keen, by
bringing Il good-sized and very fat
piece Of speck. Both jekan and speck
were absolutely delicious-ft for a
king to eat. Oar big Saxon heart
swells with grateful emotion as we
(fguratively) make our most graceful
bow to these christian ladies. God
bless them abundantiy.

A great number of my pupils are not
supplied with copy books, hence lose
the benefit of the writing exercise. I
trust all parents will inquire into this
matter, and supply the wants of their
children. L have urged the pupils, to
get these things, but some may have
neglected telling their parents.
