June man giving the name OF Amos
G. Smith, and his residence at Philadel-
phia, obtained the signatures OF the
following farmers in Lancaster county

promissary notes aggregating Sll,COO.
"MAUD. ."--The other day neighbor
Pierce Musser launched beautiful lit
tlc pleasure boat on the old, historic
mill dam. (Spell the word ID. a. NJ.
leave the u off, then it iSu't swearing.)
Pierce had the neat little ship painted
in best style and named it Maud, after
his charming, rosY-cheeked young
daughter. All decent persons can hire
the Maud for trifing fee. FOR terms
and particulars apply to CLYMER Mus
SER. It.
S, X. SANKEY & Co. are making
preparations to manufacture on an ex-
tensive scale the celebrated Keystone
Cultivator. This is one of the best
agricultural implements ever invented
and was largely manufactured by the
late John d. Foote. The new 1rm
should have every possible encourage
ment by our citizens and the communi-
ty at large The concern has the smack
of pluck and enterprise about it and we
wish it every possible success. IT.
John Il. Koenig, hctel keeper at
Womelsdorf, has hog that will be
three years old next August, and is es-
timated to weigh 300 pounds.-Redd-
ing adler.
What a striking coincidence ! Why
WomelSdorf is oar native home too.
But we are much older and not nearly
so heavy-and that again makes at least
two mark ed points of difference.
The Centre County Sabbath School
Association will hold its thirteenth an
nual convention in the Presbyterian
church at Centre Hill, Thursday, Aug.
l7th 1t is intended to make this meet
ing point of interest, if possible lit
tie in advance of any similar meeting
yet held in the county. All ministers
are dele gates eX-otliciO without appoint
ment or special invitation. Particulars
with regard to the convention will be
published in season. ~.
The idea used to prevail very
largely that to appear in tattered or
patched up clothing was sure sign of
manly dignity and moral worth. But
people are fast getting OTHER notions
on this subject. Men do not get much
credit these days Cor being slov5nly in
their appearance, while to be ilthv is
downright disgrace. Of course much
depends on the work or business in
which men are engaged, and it is for
this reason that Levin, of the Philadel
phia Branch Clothing House, Belle
fonte, Pa, keeps full liue of clothing
suitable for the laborer, the merchant,
the farmer, rs well as the professional
man-and all at the very lowest cash
prices.
We hereby tender our thanks to
Prof. w. 7. Meyer for very fine
piece of music for the piano, called
Moonlight in the F0 rest. 1t is adorned
by an excellent engraving on the title
page, expressive of the name and spir-
it of the music. Mr.. Meyer, the author
is becoming celebrated as q composer
of music and it affords us pleasure to
state that the extensive publishing
house Of w. T. Shaw, Philadelphia,
have permanently engaged his services.
Prof. Meyer will commence a term
of music le ssons at Aaronsburg and
Millheim next Monday and Tuesday,
and viii give instructions to a few
scholars every week on those two days
On account of his permanent engage
ment with the mentioned firm he will
not be able to teach great number.
