East wsis.port Evangelical $. S.


In our last report we had something to
say Of the Wessport Evangelical Sunday
school, this time we will try to give you a
short sketch Of the youngest Of its two vir-
gin daughters-the East Weissport Evan
gelical Sunday school. The session was
opened by Chester Buck, the Superintend-
ent, the school sang Il will follow Jesus"
Prayer was offered, another hymn was sung,
after which the school, at the request of the
Superintendent, read the answer TO the les
son catechism and gave the title, topic, etc.,
after which tho Superintendent and school
read the lesson.
After the lesson study, the lesson hymn
was sung, and we then spoke to the school
iiom the large blackboard about the most
wonderful preacher that ever lived. The
Secretary's report was then read teachers
present, S; officers, 4 visitors, 3 /; scholars,
GS; total number present, So /; total number
enrolled IN the school, 1853. Alter song and
prayer, the school was dismissed by singing
the doxology.
Alex. Philer is Asst. Superintendent
John Kneese, Secretary; George Leuckel
Treasurer; and Master Adam Eaches, Ii.
brarion. The excellent little organ in the
school is played by Miss Katie Eaches; the
large reversible blackboard with its beauti
ful embellishments of English on one sid,
and German on the other, owes its varied
beauty to the artistic hand Of John kruse
very active member of the school. Th,
library comprises some one hundred anc
thirty volumes, aud fills very snng littl'
library case in the back of the room. Th'
school is in very fair condition, aud We ar
glad TO note the interest taken in il by th
aged members of the church, as well us la
young ladies aud gentlemen WHO occupy th
amen seats in therOom.

be but the forerunner of many more which
will make Hazleton in another year one Of
the most important towns in the state. Mr..
Jos. obert, the well known extensive pork
packer of Lehighton, has purchased the
property known as the Longshore 4 Hoffeck-
er mill, the property lately of Mr.. Freas, tho
consideration being $4,000. Mr.. obert in
tends to erect a three story brick building
for pork packing purposes in the spring, the
location is excellent, siding OF the Lehigh
Valley running into the yard. We arc glad
to mole this and welcome Mr.. Obert To the
