CHAMBERS RsBURG.
CHAMBERsBURG, October

/
whether important or not l shall
leave to the numerous readers of the
JOURNAL to judge for themselves.
Miss Maggie Winters, of Lewis
town, Pa. is at home on visit.
Charles Berry, of Pittsburg, spent
a few days in the burg. on his return
from Harper's Ferry, where he had
been in attendance on wedding.
Mrs. Josie L. Bibb passed through
to-day, September 26th, enroute to
Hagerstowp, at which place she will
give select reading. 1t will prove
rare treat for our friends across the
border.
Mrs. Reader and Mrs. Baker, of
Hagerstown, were in town on Sept
26th. They we're the guests of Mrs.
Hettie Monk, on East German street.
Mrs. Charles II. Wilson has re-
turned home after quite an extended
visit to friends in Virginia. She was
accompanied home by Mr.. Wilson's
sister, who will remain in the city for
some time as the guest of her brother.
The Blaine and Logan club met on
the evening of September oath, and
adopted a uniform. George Pen
singer, Esq, was unanimously elected
chief commander of the marching
club, and on motion T. L. White,
was empowered to appoint his assist
ants. T. L. White, Esq, was ap-
pointed member of the finance COM
mittee for the Third ward. Many
colored Republicans joined the club
on the above evening, and all should
do so Fall in, fall in.
Your correspondent attended the
harvest home entertainment given
| in tbs A. M. E. Zion Church, com
mencing on the Doth Of September
and lasting three nights. The church
was beautifully trimmed; pictures
and pine trees adorned the walls,
while over the pnlpit was erected an
arch which was festooned with wheat,
ears of corn. clusters of grapes and
other fruits. In front of the pulpit
was erected pyramid, glance at
which was calculated to make ones
mouth water,or to cry out sour grapes.
1t contained not few, but all the fruits
of the season; and many complimen-
tary remarks were made with refer
ence to the skill displayed by Rev,
and Mrs. Ross in so handsomely ar
ranging and blending in such perfect
harmony the products displayed
thereon. And too much credit can
not be given to Rev. Ross and wife,
for they worked faithfully and hard
to make the entertainment what it
was in every respect, a perfect sue
cess. All of the music was we'll rem
dered; but when one listens to that
grand old duett entitled, "No hope
beyond" as rendered by such accom-
plished vocalists as Mrs. Ross and
Mrs. T. L. White, one might well
| exclaim, music hath charms to sootbe
a whole tribe of savage breasts. VIM.
Little made short address appro
pirate to the occasion. Miss Helen
Anderson, of Shippensburg, presided
at the organ, and also treated the au-
| dience with some very fine music,
instrumental and vocal. Mrs. White
sang on the third night solo enti
tied, "Hark l hear an angel sing"
for which she received a perfect
shower of applause and an encore.
Miss Annie Smith sang a very pretty
solo in very fine manner. Miss
Annie is one Of our many talented
young vocalists, and with a little care
| gives promise of splendid future.
A duett by Miss A. B. Williams and
Mrs. Ross, with full chorus, was very
much appreciated and heartily ap-
plauded. A bass solo, "Free as a
bird" was exceedingly well rendered
by Isaac Scott, for which he received
an encore. Indeed taken as whole
the affair was as enjoyable an enter
tainment as your correspondent has
attended in many day. The amount
netted the church was forty dollars.
We understand it to be the intention
of the elders to give Japanese tea
party in the near future
| Death has called away three of our
old and most respected friends. First
was Celia A. Whiten, who died Oct.
Ist, aged 40 years. She was a con-
sistent member of st. James Church
for over thirty years, and member
of Webb Union Daughters of TEN
perance. Rev. w. II. Davis con
