Notice has appeared in these columns of
the sale Of logs which came down the river
| by the breaking of the Williamsport dam.
They lie all along this and York cOunty's
shore. The catching Of them has proved
profitable work to many Mariettians. One
man caught nearly 200, and several from
100 to 100. As the law allows 50 cents for
each log caught, the recOmpense will be
| large.
The Marietta band got their pictures
| taken rs a whole in "full dress " on Sun
day.
Elliot Haldeman and ,Iabn Meyers, tho
two men injured by the 4&naway on Sun
day last, are much improved. The former

wounds ON his head.
Burglars attempted to effect an entrance

heard and scared off by Mr.. B.
Miss Mamie Henderson, of Huntingdon
county and Mrs. John Henderson, of May
town, spent the day gathering ferns around
Wild Cat.
Two men, one talkcr the other sing
er with banjo accompaniment, entertained
MaytOwners with free show in the square

medicines.
The fair anil festival OF the Reformed

The :" ninth wonder Of the world in

few days.
Maytown has just celebrated a social
event in the marriage Of Mr.. Walter HOff-
man, of the firm of Hoffman & Sweiler. to
Miss Ella Longnecker, also Of MaytOwn.
They have gone on an extended western
trip of two weeks. They were tho recipi-
ents of numerous and elegant presents.
The Lutheran Sunday school will have
festival Cd July 2, 3 and 4. It is for the
laudable object of church debt cxtinguish-
ment and should be we'll patrOnized.
The Hermitage house, Marietta, will be
repaired, repainted and remO1eled during
the summer. 1t will improve the we'll
known hosiery.
Maysown's Prominent Citizen.
James Henderson is ut his home 70:
short time.
This may seem a superflOus item. Had
it been said some time ago, it might have
passed by unnOticed, but its mention to-
day will bring to mind not only Mr.. II.
himself but Dorsey, Brady, Star routes,
etc. Jim is always on the 20 and il de-
serves itemizatiOn when he comes to May
town. By the way, heard \ good thing
about Henderson, from very reliable
source. A short time ago, when in Marietta,
he met young man who carries the mail
from the Office to the depot, with the
pouches OH his shoulder. Henderson
bluntly asked him what he got a year,
and the answer came ''$12O." ''That
isn't enough" replied Jim and added,
''GO along with me to Washington and
will get it doubled" The man seemed
inclined to doubt this assertion, but his
fears were quieted by the offer that if his
pay was not increased again rs much, Mr..
II. would pay expenses. He went his
salary was raised to $3.50 and Mr.. H.
proved his influence in the pos
tai branch of the government. Another
thing about this man, who may
figure yet more prominently in the cur
rent investigation. | believe the INTEL
Marietta correspondent gave
him notice some time ago. Soon after
its publication while at the depot in that
town, ha approached q we'll known educa-
tor, of Marietta's high school, in a heated
with the remark g. Don't dare to
you do will have an account to settle
with you. But he had treed the wrong
coon. In . short while after he found out
his mistake, and is on tho hunt for the
right party, but he didn't look pale when
We saw him to-day.
"a Farewell Sormon."
The religious community of MaytOwn,
those connected with the Re-
formed church, are in an excited state at
present, owing to the preaching of a plain
farewell sermon last Sunday by depart
ing pastor. The cause of all this cOmmO-
ton is about as follows, and as public opin-
ion seemed divided, a church officer was
visited to learn all the particulars
About nine mouths ago the Reformed
church Of Maytown extended o call to
Rev. 8. p. Brown, Of Snyder county. 1t
was accepted, his charge being that and
the Marietta church, preaching in each
on alternate Sundays. He il described as
being a brilliant young preacher Of un-
usual energy for and devotion to his flock.
He has presided over both charges with
for that period. Last week
during the session of the Lancaster classis
at MillersvilIe. unknown to either cOngre.
cation, he asked to be transferred from
this classis to that of the West Susque-
hanna, giving " contention as an excuse
as he was about to return to his former
charge. On Sunday he announced that
he would preach his farewell sermon in
The evening, and consequently an unusu.
lily large congregation was present. After
the usual Introductory service he began
his sermon based on the words, :Woe
unto you Bethsaida." His discourse was
! powerful one, but not of the ordinary
farewell kind, until at its close, when he
surprised all by his open.style Of language!
