Our band has received new mus
ic again, among which is fine COM
position entitled "Home, sweet Home"
with variations, and very difficdlt
overture from the Opera "Boccaccio. p"
Go in boys, and work at it until you
can play il in your usual perfect style.
The musical convention at Rebers-
burg last week was thorough success
in all respects. The class of singers
was large, 102 having attended through
the week, and they made remarkable
progress under the efficient direction of
Prof. John A. Weaver, of Pine Grove.
The programme of the Closing concert
on Saturday evening consisted of Sc
lect performances and rare musical
treats, which were executed ina man
ner creditable to the class and their
teacher. All told it was a pleasant
week for Rebersburg and will leave
good impressions on the minds Of all
participants. We. are prevented by
lack of space to, publish the large list
of the attendants.
On that cold, cold morning, last
week, when mercury went down, down,
until at last it made Grm stand at
24o, refusing to go one hairs breadth
farther, our dear little friend, VIM. X.
Alexander also went down, down,
down, into the cold, cold water on
Musser'S dam - -! By some
means or other, in some way or anoth-
or, like truth crushed to earth" he
rose again ard was rescued from a
watery grave. When our reporter ar
rived on the ground he was already
gone---to change clothing. We felt
much relieved when we heard that
William was all right again. But
when he says that he wasn't bit
cold" we greatly fear that he utterly
ignores the story of Washington and
his little hatchet.
Two TRArNs.-The freight business
on our rail road has latterlv increased
so much tnat one train could no longer
handle it all within schedule time and
SO it frequently happened that connec-
tion at Montandon was often missed
The company therefore did a good
thing by putting on another train.
The 1seW train leaves Spring Mills in
the morning at $50, Coburn at 6.58,
and arrives at Montandon at $50, con-
Meeting with the train for Harrisburg.
Returning. leaves Montandon at 220,
Lewisburg at 2.35, arrives at Coburn
at 500, and at Spring Mills at $50.
This arrangement is a great conven-
ience for our section and people, en-
abling people to 60 to Lewisburg and
return the same day. We will publish
the full time table next week.

Some parents complain of the slow
progress of their children. I say let
them keep their children 1T home in the
evening and require them to prepare
their lessons ami they will soon see
change for the better. Let all make
new and good start with the neoU gear,
and all will be amply rewarded for their
labors.

This week we have had no visitors,
and tbs time seemed indeed long and
slow in passing by. The attendance
has been below the, average of former
weeks. The cause no doubt is many
were obliged to stay at home and get
ready for the holidays. Hope all viii
be ready to start in and attend regu-
larly after the holiday season.
