ERRATTA.-Several errors occur
red in the communication of Rev.
John w. Wolff, in the last issue of
the INDEPENDENT. They are so
glazing however, as to correct them
selves with the attentive reader.
Polemic was printed "Talumic," a
word which has no meaning at all.
The writer was made to say "fed-
eral idea, +" instead of feudal idea;and
in another paragraph the printer
makes the writer say hospitality"
instead Of liberality of appreci-
alive friends.

A BRIGHT DAY FOR THE NEW
SPRINGFIELD VIBRATOR THREsn-
ING MACHINE. Mr.. VIM. E. Light,
an old and well known threshing
machine man of Falling Waters
Township, comes before the farmers
again this season with a bran-new
machine, with a new principle for
threshing and separating the grain
from the straw, which has grown to
be the best device ever invented.
Mr.. Light entered his order early in
the season, with G. C. Janney, who
represents the Springfield Threshing
Machine Works, for a new Spring
field Vibrator, and the machine was
built for him with all the improve
ments and conyeniences of the day.
With this celebrated thresher, and
Mr.. Lights reputation as Il thresh-
ing machine man, we expect he will
have big threshing season.
Daniel Getzendanner, Esq, of
Kearneysville, has also purchased
one of the new Springfield Vibrators
for Mr.. Dan. Miller, aud we predict
for him a successful season.

For some time past the officials
of the b. a. O. r.. r. at this place
have been aware of the fact that
large quantities of iron belonging
to the Company was being stolen,
and Mr.. Granon, the special detec-
tive Of the Company, was sent here
to "work it up" He visited the
several junk shops and found large
quantities which had been sold at
these places. The articles found
consisted of almost every descrip-
ton, including a number of break
chains, which had been stolen from
the cars left standing on the sidings
at various times. The iron was cas-
lily identified and the property,
amounting to several hundred dol
lars, was willingly given up by the
purchasers. In view of this, the
company have decided not to proceed
against the buyers of the stolen
property this time, but in the future
will push to the fullest extent every
violation of the law in regard to the
purchase of property stolen from
them.

PRESBYTERIAN SUNDAY SsHOOL
PIcNIC.-The regular annual picnic
of this school took place on Friday
last, in charge of the pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Woods and Superintendent
Janney. 1t was held at Mt. Alto
and was we'll attended and thorough
ly enjoyed by all the participants.
Mt. Alto is an excellent place for
recreation and enjoyment God S
handiwork in almost boundless
magniicence abounds everywhere.
Gushing springs, flowing streams,
Towering laurels, the mixed foliage
of forest trees and the varied shrub
berry of the wildwood. with the rustic
bowers, bridges, benches, and the
winding paths, traced by the hand
of man, combine to make it a place
of enchantment, enjoyment and
repose unexcelled. For the little
folks in the morning of life it would
seem as the home of the fairies; for
those yet in the heyday of youth
those hardly yet, or just passing into
the twilight of evening, it would
seem as a glad court of pleasure and
of enjoyment and tun; those upon
whom the shadows of evening have
fully fallen it would seem great
paradise of repose after labors ended,
for there are places of quiet silence
places of calm repose-places where
the heart throbs of the world worn
and the brain weary pulsates, and
communes with the great Master of
ALL There is plenty of springtime,
plenty of life, and plenty of the still
ness of death. 1t was kind and
thoughtful Creator that fashioned
the place, and it was a fertile brain
that planned the rambles and with
cunning artifce adapted it to the
varied demands of social recreation.
We could tell of the various places
of interest and how we enjoyed
them, but that would rob others of
the delightful pleasure of viewing
them.
We desire to return our most
grateful thanks to Mr., VIM. IL.
Mckinley, the proprietor Of the far
famed Montgomery House of Cham
bersburg, and who is in charge of
the restaurant, dining grove and
confectionery stands, for kind favors
extended. 1t is folly to go to the
trouble, the worry and expense OF
preparing and being bothered with
baskets when you can obtain a
splendid dinner of great variety,
warm, well cooked-in fact just as
good as you get at q first class hotel,
and at very cheap rates. This work
usually falls on the family house
hold-the wife and daughter do three
DAYS work in one to get to the picnic
tired and jaded, and the pater tomit-
ias growls and swelters under the
burden of looking after and Juggling
the basket, and the tables and the
dishes, &C., have to be looked after,
so that two-thirds of the day is
robbed Of its pleasure. We advise
all who would rest day in its
fullest sense, to leave the basket at
home and trust to Mr.. McKinley's
care. He is a gentleman in every
sense Of the word and permits no
wrongful or bad behavior on the
premises.
