PARSONAGE VIsITAT1oN--During
the last fortnight there have been oc-
casional visits made at the Reformed
parsonage, at Asronsourg, and pack
ages and groaning baskets have found
their way into the kitchen and pantry,
to be emptied of their contents, remind
ing the inmates very forcibly that. AZ
ter all, they were not angels, but might
like the rest Of mortals, make good use
of the solid comforts of life. And to
crown all, regular invasion by a bas-
ket army was made upon the parsonage
On last Saturday, In broad day light,
while the pastor and his wife had been
lured to the other end Of town to take
dinner. On their return home they
found tie main apartments Of the
house in possession Of this unceremon-
ious host, guarding two tables loaded
with useful articles, too numerous to
mention. The whole party looked very
serious indeed, and withal as innocent
as possible; but we thought we noticed
a good deal of merriment and roguish-
ness lurking behind the disguise, as we
entered. No doubt they rather enjOVed
our confusion and awkward movements
So it goes: there stems no end to
trouble: hut our only trouble this time
was to find suitable room and store a

butter, eggs, lard and hams; the sugar,

sometimes contain the most precious
things, which almost escaped our no.

pr eacher's purse. We have received
lately from different members Of the
charge, in more private way, some Of
these little packages which are 80
handy to take along.
Now for all these generous gifts,
large and small, which we can assure
all supply pressing want, we feel
very grateful, and return our sincerest
thanks. And may the good Lord Of

are, multiply to these dOners twofold

For reasons satisfactory to us, but
which are not proper to state here, we
will not reply to the unwarranted and
far-fetched attakk which a certain

nearly thirty-nine years, every one

The Bellefonte Democrat gives the
following pointed article on the vulgar
but common vice of profanity. 1t is q
fit word in season and there are other
places than Beliefonte that might profit
by the admonition:
