Centre Township Sunday school
Institute.

The sixth Institute of the Centre town
ship S. S. Association, was held Saturday,
June 18th, in the Evangelical church of
Lime Ridge.
The topic, The duty OF our Sunday
Schools to help the cause of Missions, was

stacle in the way of the Temperance Re
form.
What can be done to make our Sunday
schools a greater success
How shall we induce every member Of
the school to take part in the general ex'
erclses, opening, closing, Supt't. Review
&c.
These topics drew out the opinions Of
many different ones and upon the second
of the three last named, Rev. Deanor had
made thorough preparation.
In place of the usual devotional exercises
Rev. Boyer conducted Bible Reading
which was interesting and profitable.
The following officers were elected fol
one year;
Pres, ID. w. Campbell Vice Pres
Daniel b. Whitmire Sec'y,, NJ, ]. Low
Treas. w. ii. Hess.
Executive Committee, w. L. White
Miss Ii. M. Low, G, A. Frederick.

and assistance of Rev. Buck, Vice Prcsi
dent of the County S. S, Association, ant

in very critical condition. For those
who are ignorant in regard to the speed al
lowed, we will inform them that it is four
miles an hour. There are number In our
town who drive at speed too fast for the
safety of pedestrians, and II they still per

ing TO law.
On Sunday afternoon our town was
thrown into state OF excite
ment by the report that North Ashland
Breaker was being consumed by fire, but
by further investigation 1t was found TO be
the air-hole, which is about mile east Of
the breaker. On Sunday morning six men
were instructed to repair a leak In the col
umn pipe, which occurred on Saturday
night They accomplished their work
about three o'clock Sunday afternoon when
they returned home. The engineer, about
half an hour after departure saw clouds Of
smoke issue from the air-course, he at once
gave the alarm, when hundreds Of people
rushed to the scene of disaster, but AS there
was no water near, they were unable TO
check the flames. The fire gradually
worked westward toward the slope, which
is but fifteen yards from the place the fire
started, and the timbers, which were very
dry, burnt like so much paper. The fire
ragged until Monday night when the com
pany succeeded in getting water connec-
tions to the mines. While in conversation
with one Of the mine bosses, who visited
the mine, he said there could be no other
remedy than to drown the slope. This
means at least tx months idle time, which
news will be very discouraging to the 500
men and boys who were employed at this
colliery. The suppostion is that spark
from one of the miners, ignited the timber.
Those young laaies who went riding
Monday afternoon in their dresses known
as 'the Mother Hubbard" are, we presume,
unaware that there is Inc of five dollars
for such an offensc.

LIABILITY For Fees OF witnesses

The Supreme Court has handed down a
per curiam in the case of Williams vs.. the
County of Northumberland, which came
up on writ of error to the judgment Of
the Common Pleas of that county, and
which involved the question of the liability
of the county to pay witness fees in cases
of felony Williams was witness in be-
half OF the defendant in the case of Com
monwealth VS.. VIM. Mosley, convicted of
murder in the second degree. The county
paid the costs of prosecution, but refused
to pay the defendants costs or any part of
them. The act of May II, 1884: "That the
costs of prosecution accruing on all bills of
indictments charging party with felony
ignored by the grand jury, shall be paid
by the county; and in all cases of convic-
tion of any felony all costs shall be paid by
county, unless the party convicted shall
pay the same" Williams, relying on this
act, brought suit against the county.
Judge Rockefeller, however, held that this
act of 1876 was simply meant to remedy a
defect in preceding act of 1860, by which
those serving process for the prosecution
were unable to recover compensation from
their services until after the discharge of
prisoner upon the expiration of his term of
Imprisonment. 1t does not apply to witness
es for the defense. THIS opinion is endorsed
by the Supreme Court as correct interp-
rotation of the law and judgment is af,
firmed.

Childrcn's Day was observed in the Mad

II was said the exercises were quite a sue

Children's Day was celebrated in the NJ.
Il. church at this place Sunday evening,
the 21st, Saturday the superintendent aud
a number Of the members of the school
were at the church decorating 1t, that it
might present pleasing and appropriate
appearance. Their labors showed forth in
the words made of spruce, "Jesus loves the
little Ones" arranged in beautiful curve
at the rear of the pulpit, and a magnificent
spruce arch in front. In the centre Of the
| arch dangling from the top was the much
famed emblem of good luck, the horse
shoe. This shoe, like the arch, was made
of spruce and oil gave evidence Of the taste
and care exercised in arranging them. The
decorating was completed by arranging
flowers over the arch and placing mum.
Der OF bouquets on the stands in front. AT
half past seven, Supt. d. A. Shultz said
that the exercises would begin by singing
the song, "a Welcome to ALL" which was
followed by prayer by Rev. Hughes The
opening address was then delivered by
| Miss Ola Welliver. Recitatons were de-
livered by Masters Harry Gingles and Will
bur Allen, and Misses Bessie and Bertha
and Mertle Shultz, Cora Smith, Cora Stout
and Jennie Hartline. Mr.. Hughes talke d
to the children about twenty minutes. He
told them that it is right that they should
laugh and play. Admonished them not to
engage in the play of dancing, as he terms
it, and said few words against playing
cards, even a social game. Mr.. G. Earnest
was called upon to address the meeting,
and showed his good sense by saying but q
few words. He said that it was child
rens meeting and that they had done their
part well and were no doubt tired and
would like to go home. The concluding
address was delivered by Miss Mertie But
Ter followed By music and the benediction
when the meeting dispersed. The music
formed prominent, most pleasing, and
successful feature Of the exercises. The
meeting was, perhaps, all that was expect

like they stand if they like !;
they sit if they like they look if
they like andnobody asks them
why. Too many to make any
body shy.
Is it possible all this serious
business +? Nothing ever was
truer. Anybody understand it,
Nothing is easier. One looks
after this, another that, another
the other. What seems confu-
sion is nothing but coming and
going of goods and people.
That's a simple matter. 1t
wouldn't be possible to bear the
strain of the store all over as
full as it is in spots. We have
to a little while at Christmas /;
and then we have the rest, the
lull in January. But on the
whole we take a crowd pretty
easy.
All of which amounts to this ;
Be a part of the crowd. Con-
slider the store ahandy place for
your thousand uses and pleas
ures. We do not think of sell
ing your merchandise. We
think of your seeing, of your
liking what you see,of your tell
ing those who haven't seen.
We want it understood that the
store is a handy place for every
body.

BREAKING UP.
On every hand we see evidences that
winter is breaking up, and will soon have
to yield to the advancing spring. 1t is
most important question amongst scientific
men what causes the general feeling of de-
biity and lassitude so prevalent in this re-
gion. While some regard it as the result
of confinement and inaction, others sup
pose it to be caused by the decay of vege-
table and animal debris which has accu-
mulated during the winter. What is es-
pecially needed at this time, however, is
something to overcome these influences. 1t
is too late to talk about the causes what
is the cure ? Thousands of persons all
over the country who have given Kidney
Wort faithful trial are ready to testify
that no other remedy is equal to it for
cleansing the system, purifying the blood,
regulating the bowels, and curing all kid
ney and liver diseases. 1t is in fact the
king of all spring medicines.
