language tnat was lnnlcted upon them late on
Monday night and early Tuesday morning, by
gang OF roughs who, undoubtedly had been
imbibing particularly bad whiskey, if we
judge the quality of the stimulant by the
language that aroused some of our good peo-
pie from their peaceful slumbers, and filed
them with indignation that in an order-loving
community they should be compelled to hear
such outrageous profanity.

THROUGH THE COURTESY of the publisher,
Pemberton Pierce, of Pennsgrove we have
received copy of Prof Adam Geibels lat
est composition, entitled "There is Only One
in the World for Me-" a beautiful song, which
sustains the high reputation of Prof. Geibers
former compositions. A few extracts from
the biography of the Professor would perhaps
interest our readers who had an opportunity
to hear him at the Baptist church few
weeks ago. 'Adam Geibel was born in the
village of Neienheim, near Frankfort-on-rhe-
Main, Germany, on September 18th, 1855.
He became blind in early childhood In
1862 his parents removed to America, settling
in Philadelphia. Two years later, Adam, then
but nine years of age, was admitted to the
Pennsylvania Institution for the blind, where
he remained eight years as pupil, and after
wards was appointed an assistant teacher of
the violin and organ. He resigned this posi-
ton in 1875. His first composition was writ
ten and published in March, 1874; this was
followed by others, until his works number at
present more than two hundred, both vocal
and instrumental. Mr.. Geibel is still resi-
dent of Philadelphia, and is organist of one of
the largest churches in that city. There is no
writer in America who gives promise of a
more brilliant future"
Mr.. Geibel, Notwithstanding his misfortune,
is of very jovial disposition, and pleasant
conversationalist In recent interview with
him, he expressed his pleasure at his two Wis
its to our village, and, in company with Mr..
Pierce, will soon spend another Sunday in
our town.
