GRAND SUCCESS. largest audience
ever assembled In the Episcopal church,
this place, gathered last Tuesday evening
10 listen 10 services the most impressive
ever held in Bellefonte. Ten visiting
clergy were present, and made an imposing
appearance as they took their seats in the
chancel. The evening service lasted until
half past nine O'Clock and was unusually
grand. II was largely choral, the 10th
Selection of Psalms and the Greed being
chanted. The Bishop Of the diocese, Rt
Rev. NJ. a. De Wolfe Howe, Of Reading,
delivered most appropriate and beautiful
sermon from Matthew 20: 2: "and when
he had agreed with the laborers for pen
ny day, he sent them into his vineyard. 1"
The Bishops Interpretation of this parable
differed from that often given. He argued
that the "penny day" does not and can
not represent the final reward which those
who have covenanted with the Lord shall
receive, but rather it represents the oppor-
tunities and privileges which all enjoy who
are called from the world to labor in
the Masters vineyard. At the close Of the
discourse, Rev. John Hewitt presented TO
the Bishop the following candidates for the
holy rite Of Confirmation Miss Amanda
Armor, Minnie GarmAn, Carrie Vosburg,
Jennie Reynolds, Katie Jackson, Minerva
Wilkinson and Katy Morgan and Mr..
Charles Barrett The remarks of the Bish-
op TO those who had received Confirmation,
were exceedingly tender and af'ectionate.
One candidate, who was i'll on Tuesday
evening, was confirmed privately on We'd
nesday morning. At the close of the ser
vice, u very enjoyable reception was held
at the Rectory for the visiting clergy, a
large number OF the congregation and
friends being present. Bishop Howe de-
parted on the 10 O'Clock a. M. train yes
terday.

A public service was held ut l0I A. NJ,
after which the rite of holy communion
was administered. At the meeting at 9
P. NJ. an essay was read and a general dis
cussion upon interesting topics ensued.
An inprovised service was held last night
at which entertaining speeches were made
by the visiting clsrgymen. The Convoca-
iion was considered most interesting and
profitable gathering by the members of the
congregation and all who attended it. scs

PLEASANT GAP.-This pleasant ter
minus Of the summer drives of our people,
the dividing line between Nittany and
Penns Valleys, has arrived TO the dignity
of one of tho most heartsome and charming
little villages Of our county. 1t is settled
by intelligent, social and industrious peo-
pie, apparently in the possession of as
much happiness and comfort as IL is the
lot of mortals to enjoy. But while bearing
testimony to the general character of this
pleasant little village and it, happy sur
roundings, we cannot forego the pleasure
which old acquaintance and old friendship
gives us to designate one Of its oldest and
earliest inhabitants for special remark
Johnny Barnes, the gate keeper, who for
forty years has collected the tolls and ac-
counted 10 his company, without default
Of day. Who does not know aud regard
him with unqualified respect? Upright
in every relation of life, he has acquired n
character for probity and true manhood
that the most exalted might envy. Mr..
Barnes is an Englishmsn, aud came to
this country, We believe, in 1894 He has
reared large and respectable family in
our midst, and now, ut tho age Of eighty
years, still guards the gate and pursucs
the quiet industry of his youthful life.

Amour THE FEsTivAL.-Tbe elements

Tor the success Of The Logan boys festival
last Friday and Saturday evenings. Shortly
after s O'Clock on Friday night storm Of
wind, rain, thunder and lightning put an
effectual dsmper over the prospects for
that evening, and the charming young
ladies who were presiding over the tables
almost cried in despair, and the boys
looked with disappointment at the receipts,
which only reached Sl2. On Saturday the
thermometer descended with frightful ra-
pidity which made the delicious ice cream
prepared for the occasion look chilling in
its eoolness But people partook Of it for
the sake Of the new uniforms, and put $40
more in the treasury. The combined re-
ecip;s reached $50, Of which about SEQ Is
clear gain. Now, II this sum can be trcbled
or quadrupled in some way, we suppose it

and express their thanks in an especial
manner to the following young ladies !;
Miss Lala Klinger, Bertha Schrock, Lizzie

y RELIc.-We have in our possession
an sutogtaph letter written by Jane.
Madison that may be regarded as some
thing Of curiosity. 1t was picked up
somewhere in Virginia, during the war,
by soldier, and was given TO US some four
OF i've years ago. Tho letter bears date,
Williamsburg, September 70, 1885,"
twenty-five years before tho distinguished
writer was elected President Of the L United
States. Il Is addressed TO gentleman at
Alexandria, and relates to the affairs Of
the old college Of William and Mary 81
that place. Ii reads as follows:
DEAR SrUAgr;-Not being acquainted
with the name Of your printer in Alexan-
dria, must beg the favor Of you to have
the inclosed ADVERT ement inserted IA his
paper. | find it is not known, or scarce
been heard Of, in the Northern parts Of
Virginia, that we have resolved TO re-es-
tablish Board in the College. Your paper
eirculates also in Maryland, from whence
we sometimes have inquiries respecting
Board, &c. / have great hopes that the
plan we have adopted will tend much to
revive a Seminary, which hitherto has
been of too partial a benefit to We eommu-
nifty, on account of the high charges for
Board. Youth Of moderate resources, from
whom generally most Is 20 be expected,
were on account Of ye expense of the place,
driven 10 other Seminaries, or deprived
altogether of the advantages which they
might possibly have received here. |
would not have troubled you, however,
with this matter, if were not assured of
your attachment TO your Alma Mater.
The expense you may be at shall be re-
funded whilst you are upon We ensuing
Assembly.
Believe me TO be with We most sincere
esteem, Yr. Friend & Serv't.,
j. MADISON.
Whilst thus interested In the success Of
this Seminary Of learning, Mr.. Madison
also seems TO have been alive 10 the i'm
portance OF political affairs, for the above
letter contains = postscript intended for
Mr.. Stuart's benefit when he should come
to Eye ensuing Assembly" II reads as
follows
"I hope you will 60 we'll armed to repel
the attacks Of those enemies 60 We happi-
ness and prosperity of their country who
mediate ye introduction of paper money
do not ask you what you think upon this
subject, because I am sure you will not
approve Of n scheme which the honest and
good patriot must condemn. speak of
this species Of money rs Legal Tender.
Innes is pouring over Pownel, Hume,
Smith and dozen others, and is ready to
head the first forlorn hope which shall be
advanced against the works Of these Paper
Gentry"
II may be inferred from this postscript
that If Mr.. Madison had lived In our day
he would not have been much Of "Green-
backer." The allusion to paper money as
q illegal Tender" IL especially significant.

Our School House,

The new addition to the Union School
House recently built, seems to US to be
worthy Of attention. 1t will pay anyone
TO 60 and examine it for himself. But,
that those who are too busy, or too in
different to do this may not be ignorant
of how the public money has been ex-
pended, We append the following:
The contract for building, exclusive
of heating apparatus, blackboards and
kalsomining, was let to Mr.. Black at
$5,795. The exceptions above men.
toned aud some changes made from the
original specifications, increased the cost
to about Sc, 600. This less $500 realized
by the sale of the south primary school
house and lot, leaves IS, 800, as the
amount put into schsol property within
the last year For this amount We get
four remarkably large, we'll ventilated
and beautiful rooms, with large closet
adjoining each. The halls are roomy
and all entrances have double doors.
Ample play rooms are secured in the
basement. =
We do not hesitate to say that these
are re ally the finest school rooms in the
State of Ohio, excepting Of course those
of high school buildings. $1,650 per
room is cheap as compared with the cost
of all our rooms built heretofore.
Too much praise cannot be given Mr..
Black for the faithful manner in which
all parts Of the job have been done
Indeed 1t is but fair to say that Messrs
Gibbons, Holmes, Henderson and Sher'
man have each executed the part lei
them with rare taste, judgment and d
