w. =. Taylor, of Dover, Delaware,
agent for the Pennsylvania Bible
Society is canvassing this section at
this time and has succeeded in dis
posing of over three hundred Bibles
i'll this county within the last three
weeks. He offers the books at as
tonishingly low rates, and all who
are not supplied with Bibles will find
it to their advantage to order of him.
G. w. Hassinger, 2. NJ. Schoch,
Alvin Gift and G. Il. Greybill re-
turned this week from Lewistown
where they furnished music for the
Sterling Comedy Company. They
report the company playing before
large houses and doing well finan-
cially. The new members recently
added to the troupe are strong
support to Mr.. and Mrs. Porter and
afford stronger cast of characters
than ever appeared on the stage in
this section of the country. We
wish them well.
Here is new version of the old
nursery rhyme-"The cat that kill
ed the rat, that ate the malt, that
lay in the house that Jack built !"
Down in Cuthbert the other day n
rattlesnakes frightened cat that
scared u hen, that knocked n Jar
from a shelf, which hit the lancet of
barrel of molasses, which turned
the lancet, causing the loss of bar
rel of syrup. The snake was killed.
Thank fortune for that, or in time
that snake would have shaken the
world, if not upset the universe.
Rev. Orwig and family left on
Tuesday on visit to friends at
Watsontown, Pa. They expect to
remain several weeks, and there will
be no preaching in the Lutheran
church on Sunday, August 4th, the
regular appointment, but in two
weeks from that date he will preach
his annual Harvest Home sermon.
Mr. Orwig's health is not what it
should be and it is right the he takes
leave during this hot weather and
enjoy a much needed vacation.

The hustle, after n futile resistance
to the mandates of fashion, has at
length retired from public activity.
Sat upon as it has been for years, it
has been finally crushed by the fact
that Queen Victoria and her "set''
have abandoned it to its fate. His
tory will record the fact that Mrs.
Cleveland, with foresight and
courage worthy of her position. was
the first prominent woman to recog-
nize that the bustle's day of useful
ness was past.
Brother Schoch of the NIifilinburg
Telegraph is erecting new brick
printing Office that is said to be a
beauty. 1t is also rumored that the
people of Mifflinburg will call there
for their mail in the near future.
We hope this is true, for the horse
that earns the oats should occasion
ally get some, and we can give a
pointer to Congressman Atkinson,
which is, that he will make no mis-
take by endorsing the appointment
of friend Schoch for post master at
Mifllinburg.
"At one time woman could not
walk through the streets of San
Francisco without having every one
pause to gaze on her, and a child
was so rare that once in theatre in
the same city where a woman had
taken her infant, when it began to
cry, just as the orchestra began to
play, man in the pit cried out,
Stop those fiddles iand let the baby
cry. 1 haven't heard such a sound
for ten years The audience app
lauded this sentiment, the orchestra
stopped and the baby continued it's
performances amid unbounded en-
thusiasm.'
