or Stoughton told us that it had been
going on at this rate for the last
couple weeks and that his passengers
always returned with bushels Of ter
ries. 1t requires large crop to salts
fy the desires Of so many hundreds.
--Neighbor T. p. Musser is now
nursing sprained limb. He was out
on the mountains on Thursday night,
on special business, and in returning to
camp he found log in his path. In
attempting to step oyer the log HIS foot
struck projecting knot which caused
him to fall in an awkard shape on the
log, with his left leg under him in u
twisted position. Help was near -at
hand to bring him home. Hope Pierce
will soon be over the mishap.
On Friday as the people were re-
turning from the Rebersburg Soldiers
Reunion, Mr.. McMullen, had an ugly
spill-Out near town. The driver tried
to get ahead of I'll band wagon ard
drove on stone heap which in the
dark he did not see. In an instant the
whole cargo, consisinting partly Of
ladies, was landed on the hard road,
head foremost. The affair looked real
ugly, but fortu nately no one was
seriously hurt.
Wonder if President Arthur, Queen
Victoria, the Gar Of Russia or the
Shah of Persia, are fond cf peaches ?
Very likely-and if they had seen the
large, luscious fruit of that species
which Mrs. +. p. Musser sent us last
week they would have grown green
with envy. But that does not in the
least disturb our tranquility, nor di-
minish our thankfulness to the kind
and thoughtful doner, which feeling is
shared by our family.
The Basket Church Sunday School
Convention held ut Centre Hill on
Thursday the 18th inst was the first
experiment of the kind in Northern
Pennsylvania.
That it was most gratifying sue
cess all who were present will gladly
testify. The large audience room of
the church was full at the three ses-
siOns and the baskets more than sufli-
cient to satisfy the wants of the large
and happy assemblage of adults and
children. The most delightful feature
of the Conventio was the manifest
and sweetly experienced proof of an
essential unanlmity among all the SER
wants OF the Lord.
