THE magic lantern entertainment for
the benefit of St. Peters p. E. Sunday
School, was well attended on Thursday
evening and the children as well as the
audience delighted. The rector pro-
poses to give another and a better one
in two or three weeks.
THE extra service closed at the M.
E. Church on Monday. The meetings
were largely attended, the pastor
strongly and efficiently supported, but
what seemed on the point of realiza-
tion the most of the time-the break
ing out of a Tevival-did not result, de-
spite the labOrs to this end. There
have been, however, including the Oc-
tober meeting, some eighteen names
taken as prObationers.
The several properties belonging to
5. P. Wright, of Philadelphia, located
IN this town, which was advertised for
sale on Saturday last, did not sell ex-
cept building lot on Cummins street,

at $3.50. The other properties did not
come up to the figures at which he
took them from the other heirs and
hence he declined to let them go at the
! figures reached at the sale,
THE bad condition of the roads has
seriously interfered with carriage and
wagon conveyance since the severe
! blizzard that visited us on the 8th of
January. The snow banks that then
! blockaded the roads running east and !
west, are still, we believe, unbroken in
! some places, though considerably de- !
creased in size. We can hardly look /
for better condition of travel until
the frost is out of the ground or the
snow is gone.
THE steamer J. z. Tygert, which has
| been blOckaded by the ice in the creek |
| and river for the past three weeks |
steamed out on Monday morning for
Philadelphia heavily ladened, reaching |
there late in the afternoon. She will |
leave Philadelphia to-day on her return |
trip, and leave the creek again to- |
morrow. There is still considerable |
floating ice on the river, but it is
thought that after this week the TyGert /
will again run on schedule time.
The lovers Of festivals, and most all |
