last Monday afternoon and also explor
ed the cave. They were joined by Rev.
NJ. l.. Deitzer and wife, who arrived
on the ground later in the day. A
splendid time was had and motion to
indulge in a similar party in the near
future carried unanimously. There is
certainly no greater pleasure to be
found mt this season than to enjoy n
Jew hours under the bower of shelter
ing forests and feast the eve upon the
rich panorama presented everywhere
by mother nature.
We call the attention of our read
ers to the change III Musser " Alexan-
der's marble advertisement and wish to
add that on brief visit to their
shops the other day, we were agreeahly
surprised at the fine display of tomb
stones which this enterprising Arm
have just received from the city. They
are also very busy at work on a large
stock of marble in the rough. Among
the finished jobs the monument for
Sam'l. G. Mingle, of Lock Hayen, is
one of the most attractive. 1t will pay
you to call on them when IN need of a
suitable stone to mark the resting place
of departed friends.

Frank, of ID. S. Kaufman & Co.'S store,
extended ar invi,atio to the band to
come to the store last Monday evening
where a treat to cakes and lemonade
awaited them. The boys gave ready
response aud discoursed some Of their
select music. 1t may be taken for
granted that the store room was dense
ly crowded with people during the con.
cert. Business was combined with
pleasure, as the band voted to procure
white flannel shirts with navy blue col
lars and cuffs, for summer wear, and
ordered the above firm TO send for sam
pies of goods to select from. If eyer
there was an organization in this town
that can boast of remarkable grit and
snap it is the Millheim Cornet Band.
This month completes the twelfth ear
of their existence and their assets a.
mount TO over $l100, most of which
was earned by hard work and but COM
paratively little help from oui citizens.
THE TORNADO AT BOILING SPRING.
About as near an actual tornado as
often visits this portion of the country
swept down upon Boiling Spring Thurs.
day last, and was referred to in the
DAILY News of Friday. People who
observed ii closely assert that the for
nation and movements Of The clouds
were peculiar. AT noon small cloud
scudded across the sky from over the
hill northeast of Mr.. Teller's honse.
Before advancing very far it came in
contact with another cloud and the two
descended on the hillside, prostrating
seven apple trees. Then descending
neater the water the tornado struck
cluster of willow trees, twisting them
in fantastic shape. While in the
grasp of the wind the trees seemed to
be revolving rapidly, and when released
some Of the branches which had been
torn off were carried away, while 9th
ers dropped to the ground. The fact
Of the storm tearing off part of the
roof uf Mr.. Keler's barn has been al
ready related and it is believed that
had not the willow trees diverted the
course of the wind the barn would have
disappeared. The last object touched
by the tornado was Eckenrode's barn.
Both or the doors were driven IN, but
the building was not otherwise damag-
ed. About thirty or forty yards of
fence were destroyed, stout posts being
pulled out of the ground. --Bellefont
