UNION REVIVAL MEETINGS.

Rev. w. p. Breed of Milton, refer
ing to Evangelist Smith. who expects
to conduct revival meetings in the
Bloomsburg Opera House during the
first two weeks of February, uses the
following language "Mr. Smith has
won the love and respect and admira-
tlon of all our people. He is better
fitted for his work than any man with
whom have ever come in contact.
He is a cultured gentlemen, a devout
christian, preacher with remarkable
persuasive power, man of great wis
dom and force in dealing with individ-
uals who are in spiritual difficulty, and
has absolutely perfect discretion and
tact in the conduct of morning meet
ings for christians, and the evening
"atter-meetings." l assure you that the
pastor who asks for the services Of Mr..
Smith will never regret the act. We
prepared carefully and extensively for
his coming and his work among us has
been great. The spiritual life which
has been Infused into the veins of my
church members is incalculable."

LOCAL INSTITUTE AT BUCKEORN

The teachers of Hemlock and Mon
tour districts met in local institute
Sat, Jan. 9, 1892.
The following teachers assisted in
the work of the institute: Miss Mag
gle Tubbs, Miss Anne Tubbs, Miss
Kate Shoemaker, Mr.. Robt. Dent, Mr.
Wilmer Girton, Mr.. Raymond Stecker
Mr.. VIM. Evans, and MIR. Harry c.
Mcbride.
Miss Holmes, Miss Wright, Miss
M. M. Gensel, Miss Lizzie Richar,
and Mr.. Cotner were missed among
those who should have been present
The institute was one of usual in
terest and profit to the teachers and
patrons assembled. The teachers took
a very active part in the work, and
showed by their remarks and interes,
that they are alive to the issues of the
new education.
oupt. Johnston, Profs. Hartline and
Bakeless, Of the Normal, gave valuable
hints and suggestions which, if practic-
ed cannot fail to be of lasting benefit
to teacher and pupil. The remarks
by teachers were interspersed with
songs by the choir, and recitation by
the pupils of the several schools. The
selections were rendered in a very
pleasing manner and reflect much cred
it upon the performers.
Contests in reading and spelling
were held by the various schools, all Of
whom did very well. 1t is hoped by
all that there may be a speedy recur,
ance of the Local Institute.

ARBITRATED.

Last year the County Auditors re-
fused to allow certain items in the ac
counts of the County Commissio ners,
and charged these items to the Com
missioners. Among the items was
money paid to M. Shaffer, the Court
House contractor, for removing old
cistern to get solid foundation for
the walls; an item of $500 overpaid
for soldiers tombstone, and over
charges by Stevens and Girton. From
the Auditors settlement an appeal was
taken by the old Board of Commis-
sioners, and on Wednesday the case
was arbitrated before John w. Shu-
mon, Freas Fowler and John B.
Casey. At the time of the Auditors
rel ort, Mr.. Stevens promptly paid over
the amount claimed to have been over
charged by him. B +. Zarr, ESQ.,,
represented the old Board, and r. r.
Little, Esq, appeared for the county.
After hearing considerable testimony
the arbitrators made an award of So. so
against William G.. Girton in favor Of
the county. There will be no appeal
from this award. The county will
have to pay the costs.

STUDENTS LECTURE COURSE.

Mrs. II. F.. Monroe, the third lee.
turer OF the course, will deliver her
lecture, 'England-Its Shrines and
People on Friday evening of this
week, in the Chapel of the Normal
School.
Mrs. Monroe never fails to please
and profit her audience. She was for
fifteen years President of the Kansas
Collegiate Institute. hls travelled and
lectured extensively in Europe, and
has few if any superiors as an illus
trated lecturer. The Washington, ID.
c. Tribune claims that she is "guite
equai TO .Stodddrd.'
Prof. Welsh, before engaging her,
took pains to write to educators Of his
acquaintance in all parts Of this state,
who had heard her, and the replies
without exception endorsed her un-
conditionally She has lectured at
most Of the Normal Schools and col
leges of this state, and they all gi' c
her 4 cordial endorsement.
She was at first booked to deliver
her lecture, "Christ IN Art" but her
new lecture on England seems to be
all the rage this winter, and we
thought if other people called it her
best, we would be guided by the popu-
lar judgment. Tickets at Brooke &,

A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.

Last Friday being the birthday Of
Mr. Charles w. Funston, his wife pre-
pared surprise party for him.
twenty gentlemen were invited to
dine with them that evening at 1870.
and all were cautioned not to let Mr..
Funston know anything about it.
Strange to say the secret was kept,
and although he suspected that a com
pany of some kind was expected, he
knew nothing of the character Of it
until all the guests had arrived. The
gentlemen appeared IN full evening
dress, and when they came down
stairs into the paror without any ladies
Mr.. Funston thought there was some
joke about it, and asked his wife why
the ladies did not come do and
was then told what kind of a party it
was. The dining room had been
sealed to him since morning and he
was entirely ignorant of what was
there.
Miss Bess Monroe, Of Rupert as
sisted in receiving.
