In accordance with the proclama-
ton of our chief burgess the merchants
Of town issued posters last Thursday
announcing that they would have their
business places closed on the following
Saturday afternoon, daring The hours of
| till 5 o'clock. The town was draped
in mourning ont Of respect to Gen.
Grant and memorial services were
held IN the Evangelical church at 3
O'Clock, p. m, the exercises consisting
of reading the scriptures, prayer, singing
and an appropriate discourse by Rev.
r. uengst. Owing to the uniayorable
state of the weather the attendance was
not very large.
We had the pleasure on Sunday
evening of listening to n line musical
treat in the Lutheran church at Aarons-
burg. Rev. Deitzler ut that time had
regular services which were attended
by very large number of people from
Aaronsburg and Millheim. The church
was almost uncomfortably crowded.
The choir under the able management
of Mr.. Luther Stoyer, and assisted in
his unexceled manner on the organ by
Prof. w. II Meyer, of Shamokin, open
ed the services by fine anthem, in
which Miss Mamie Britt, of Wheeling,
West Va, carried the solo parts in Il
very pleasing way. AT the end OF the
services the lady rendered the we'll
known song "Consider the lilies of the
field' and demonstrated beyond doubt
that she is a singer of high order and
an accomplished and natural musician.
She won the admiration of all her hear.
ers hy the volume and clearness of her
voice, over which she seems to lave
perfect control. 1t was such singing as
we do not hear very often in this yicin-
ity.
