"A correspondent Of the Pittsburgh CATH
otic, in describing the recent annual COM
mencement at st. Aloysius' Academy, Lo-
rettO, says that Miss Jessie Clark, of Cresson,
eaptivated the audience from the very fisrt
notes of COncone's chef dCeuUre, judith,
Vocal Solo," but when she burst forth into
the exclamation, 'fIt is God inspires me it
is He that drives me on !" thrill ran thro'
the house, all eyes were fixed upon her in
spired face and we felt as if we really heard
voice from above, and saw before US the
liberator of the land of Israel. Thanks
Miss Clark, continues the correspondent, for
the pleasurable emotions of that neveT-to-
be-fOrgotteD hour Long may you enjoy
every one of your hearers of yesterday a
lifelong admirer.
On Sunday, I'd instant, Mr.. W. c. VIII
Hanson, agent for the Singer Sc wing Machine
Company in this place, with three cOmpaH-
lens, started hence in a two horse vehicle to
90 to lsoreJto. At the eastern end of town,
near the woOlen factory, the team became
frightened at a car standing on the track
where ii crosses the road and ran away. AT
this critical junctETe the lines broke, and a
narrow bridge spanning a-mill-race Just in
front presenting a most dangerous outlook
Mr.. Williamson and the others Jumped for
their lives. Unfortunately the gentleman
named failed 10 entirely clear the wagon, and
he was dashed to the ground so violently that
both bones Of the right leg below the knee
were broken He was removed to his home
ard the fracture reduced BY DR.. Kennedy,
and we are glad to be able Co say that the
patient is doing as well as under the circum-
stances could be expected.
MIR. Nathaniel Hawkins, a long time cit
iZen of TINS place, left here in September last
foI England, his native country, the principal
object of his trip across the ocean being to
see an older brother. from whom he parted
( many years ago Reaching his old home he
found to his regret that his brother had be-
taken himself as his neighbors supposed, to
America, and as there was no inducement for
Mr. Hawkins to remain where his brother
was not, he turned his face once more toward
the land of his adoption. As i'll or good luck
would have it, however, the steamer upon
which he took passage became disabled and
lad to put into Newfoundland, where by the
meTest chance Mr.. Hawkins found his bro
theT, with whom he remained until the final
earthly parting came, the latter taking sick
and dying soon after the event we have mar
rated Mr.. Hawkins is now back il. Ebens-
burg, but we understand that it is not his
intention to remain permanently with us.
Our amiable friend and patron, DR.. L.
T. Flick, whose field of practice is in Phila-
delphia, but whose home is at CarroiltOwn,
this county, looked in on us for half hour
OF so on Monday of last week, having Just
then returned from a trip to the southern
part of California, whittier he went about ten
months ago in quest of health, which we are
glad to say he has recovered to very great
extent. Eight of the ten months were spent
among the vine-clad hills of Los Angeles,
and a portion of the remainder at Salt Lake
City, in the vicinity of which famous centre
of MOrmonism he found our enterpTising
friend. Lieut. S A. Shoemaker, of the Pay
Department, y. S. A. and his worthy family
comfortably and pleasantly dOmiciled. The
Doctor has promised, should time permit to
tell our readers ere long something about his
trip. Meantime we trust that his TecupeTa-
ted energies may never 90 back on him.
