Last week after E. D. Parker and A. ],
Patterson had completed their business be-
fore the Supreme Court at Pittsburg, they
visited Csnnonsburg, the place that they
attended school IS years ago. A genera
ton of people have passed away since they
were students there and there were left on
ly three or four Of their Cannonsburg &C.
quaintances to meet and greet them and
relate the marvellous changes that have
taken place in Washington Co., within the
period of q generation.
Cranks, educated unbelievers In the Bible,
and its teachings, false-prophets, fortune
tellers &C., and perhaps few good people
but deceivedfin themselves have every now
and then for the past 1000 years and likely
further back been prophesing the end Of the
world which will come in Gods time. IL il
said that preacher in Harrisburg has pre-
dicted the end of the world in 1884. But
the Bible makes it very clear that neither
men nor Gods Angels, nor God the Son,
but God the Father alone knows the day..
''Break, Break, Break" new song for
soprano OK tenor. Words from Tennyson,
music by Frederick II. Pease. A deep
feeling pervades this song, which contains
besides some exceptionally beautiful musi-
cal ideas. Whether from design or inten-
tion It also contains some PROFESSIONS,
which may arrest the attention of q critic,
but cannot annul its remarkable merit. The
song has been made known to the public
by the admirable singing of some OF the
best soprano and tenor singers in the coun-
try. Mailed on receipt of 40 cents. Ign.

There is no building in the county like
the Presbyterians' new church in this place
and when you come TO town, don't miss
the chance to walk into and see for your
self. Bye and bye it will be closed except
ing on preaching days and then you may
not be about, and you may feel too relig
iously hide-bound to go into a meeting

time to see the new church in outline. OF
course the finishing has not been done, but

hurt you to drive to town 5, 6, 8, 10 or

The Bloomfield Advocate of last week
says. One night recently the beautiful brick
residence OF John Owings, in Centre twp,
made narrow escape from destruction by
fire. The folks had been boiling apple but
ter in the fireplace in the basement during
the day. About 2 O'Clock the next morn
ing Robert, a son of Mr.. owings by good
luck happened 10 awake and hearing q
roaring noise in the chimney went down
stairs and found the piece Of timber that
supports the brick work Of the chimney
burning briskly, also the fre-board. In q
short time the flames would have gained
such head way that the FIRE could not have
been controlled.
The Altoona Tribune philosophicslly re-
marks, The 10 ng winter evenings are again
coming on when men have more leisure
than during the summer. There are diff
erent ways Of using this time. Some squsn-
der ii in bar-rooms or other places, indulg-
ing in idle gossip. Others devote them
selves almost exclusively to pleasure. A
few endeavor to improve the time by study
The young man who begins the winter by
a systematic course Of reading or Of study
is wise man. He is laying foundations
| that in due time will bear goodly struc
ture; he Is sowing seed that will bring
forth much good fruit in the future. There
are many men OF middle life in our midst,
who bitterly lament the misused days of
their youth. Then they neglected oppor-
tunities to gain information which would
have enabled them to fill a much larger
sphere that they now occupy. Why should
not those who are just beginning life and
who are surrounded by opportunities of gain
ing information, take warning and improve
the time in tudyl
