that the intruders fed in dismay.

hears. She had been listening to the
school girl talk of her older sister and

sions. Last Sunday she went to church for
the first time, and on her return her father
asked her what she did. Il got tired" she
answered promptly. "And what did you
do them" so, I mashed the Minister

A True Reformed Dutch church" has
been organized in Paterson. There is no
house of worship of this religious denom
ination nearer than Passaic, N. j., where
at the ''Old Seceder church," as it is called,
the people of this faith in all that region
have assembled for more than fifty years
past, the venerable Dominic Berdan hay
ing been their pastor from the founding of
the church. In the earlier years the peo-
pie came for many miles from the farthest
extremes of Passaic and Bergen counties

The Delaware and Hudson company's
mine, in the Second ward of the city of
Wilkesbarre, Pa, caved in on Wednesday
morning, of last week. On the surface
cracks are visible for acres in either d.
rection. The mine filed with gas. The
entire extent of the break appears to com
prise space of nearly forty acres, most
of which is covered with dwellings and
other buildings, many of which began to
settle. The disaster is accounted for on
the theory that the props put in the mines
some years ago to sustain the roof have
rotted away, or have been cut away for the
coal.
