"1'o and Fro in London"

John II. Clarke gave even better
satisfaction at the opera house last
night than he did on the occasions OF his
first visit to Dubois. For some reason
he perferred to take another subject
than the one announced and delivered
"To and Fro in London" The lecturer
talked two hours or more and gave a
much better entertainment for the
money than the people of Dubois are
accustomed to getting, and he can meet
a good audience here at any time

Looking for a New Pastor.

At the close OF the morning service
last Sunday congregational meeting
was held in the Presbyterian church
for the purpose of appointing commit
tee TO look for "A pastor for the now
shepherdless flock. DR.. w. b. Alexan-
der, G.. w. Palen and ID. f. Robinson
were appointed to that important posi-
tion. The congregation already have
a Huntingdon county man in view. Az
ter the committe have found man
they think will be suitable for this
place, he will be invited to come here
and preach. We think the wiser plan
would have been to allow the commit
tee, who are capable of deciding, TO
select man and give him a call before
he comes here to preach. Any man
that comes here on trial will be meas
ured by Rev. Furbay and, unless this
congregation isan exception TO all other
congregations, it will be hard task to
please all the members. While on the
other hand il II man was to receive a
call and come here then the congrega-
tion would be ready to receive him as a
pastor and not hold him off on trial.
Then, again, an excellent man may be
secured and come on trial and not be
able to do himself justice from the fact
that he knows the people are out to
'size him up and Judge Of his ability to
become their pastor. Yet the plan
adopted by the congregation is much
better than to have number of preach
ers come here on trial and then allow
the members to select their man. While
we are sorry to have Rev. Furbay leave,
yet we think he was wise in accepting
the call, and he has the best wishes of

He Made a Hit.

The fourth, and what was to have
been the last, lecture given under the
management OF the Lecture Association,
was delivered by John r. Clarke in
Centennial hall last Wednesday eve
ming. On account of the inclement
weather and the disappointment given
the people by Ora J. Gould, the audi
ence was not very large, but from the
time Mr.. Clarke was introduced by Rev.
Furbay until the conclusion OF the lee
ture, on Hits and Misses" which was
two hours long, he held the close
attention Of his audience, and unbounded
satisfaction was expressed by most all
who heard him. He introduced dialect,
mimicry. song and oratory. His songs
the Scotch "Cuddle Doom" "Yacob
Strauss" with the German Lullaby"
and the yorkshire Laboring Man."
~ am Child of King" were
charming. His "Irish Jaunting
Car Driver" with side-splitting
jokes and bright witticlsm were
worth the admission. Underlying
the entire lecture was current OF good
moral instruction and advice. Most all
who heard him had continuous smile
on their face and they enjoyed numer-
ous hearty laughs. The lecturer made
such a HIT that the Lecture Association,
by special request Of number OF good
citizens, engaged him to lecture here
again on the 4th Of April on "To and
Fro in London"
After the first lecture had been
delivered the seven members of the
Association, Rev. II. G. Furbay,
Rev. T.. T. Derr, DR.. B. f. Hoover,
Prof. w. II. Stamey, j. Van Reed, w.
G.. Elliott and G. A. Stephenson, had
good prospects Of paying out ten or
twelve dollars apiece to meet the ex-
penses Of the lectures promised, but by
letting the school children in for ten
cents to hear Gould and Beard. they
were enable to come out twenty-one
dollars ahead at the close OF the season.
A number of people complained about
the confusion and noise kept up contin-
ually during the two lectures into
which the children were admitted for
ten cents, consequently no special rates
were given the school children for the
last lecture and there was no annoyance
from that source. All persons holding
season tickets will get the fifth lecture
free. General admission % cents; re-
reserved seats 30 cents; tickets now on
sale at Henry A. Reeds shoe store.

A Good Play.

II the attendance at play can be
taken as any criterion, "Around the
World in Eighty Days" may be at once
put down as the hit OF the season, as
the audience which greeted it crowded
the house from pit to dome and standing
room was in demand. "Around the
World in Eighty Days" possesses the
elements necessary for a grand spec
tacular production, but the expecta-
tions Of the audience were not disap-
pointed last night. The scenery, a
good deal of which the company brings
with it, is quite good, and the three
principal characters received quite a
good deal of applause. se.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A Ferocious Dog.

A ferocious white bull dog OF West

Burgess cows last Thursday and raised
considerable excitement for a short
time. The dog got good hold on the
animals jaw and hung on and the COW

which were unsparingly applied to the
dogs body, but the dog was there to
stay until a hammer, in the hands Of

A Board of Trade,

We have been agitating a board of
trade for Reynoldsville for some time,
but no steps toward getting such an or
ganization was made until last week.
G. F. Hoffman proposed to see what
could be done in the matter and in talk
ing to DIR. Alexander about having a
meeting, and where it could be held
without going to the expense of hiring
hall until 1t was discovered how many
were really interested in it, Doctor Of
fered the use of the bank for place to
meet in. Mr.. Hoffman got bills printed
announcing the meeting for last Friday
evening. A fair representation of the
business men OF town was present.
Hon. S. B. Elliott explained the workings
OF board Of trade OF which he was once
member. 1t was decided to charge
two dollars as membership fee and
the yearly dues are not to exceed more
than two dollars. Twenty-four names
were secured Immediately. This Or
ganization is not confined to few busi-
ness men, but any and all citizens who are
interested in the future OF Reynolds
VILE are earnestly solicited to become
members of the board of trade. A COM
mittee of three, Frank j. Black, L. NJ.
Simmons and G.. F. Hoffman, was ap-
pointed to secure as many names for
charter members as possible before the
next meeting night, Friday, March 3lst.
We have been asked why the meeting
was held in such small place giving
only few the opportunity to attend, in
other words, why was the meeting not
held in public hall? Two or three
men did not feel like paying five dollars
for hall until, as above stated, an ex-
preston had been received from the
people. 1t is not necessary for any one
to feel slighted If they did not get a
printed invitation to attend the meet
ing, as none were issued, but a public
meeting was announced and "all were
invited to attend"

AN ICE GORGE.

The ice in the Minnesota river form.
ed gorge Monday a few hundred
yards above the bridge and the water
rose very rapidly until midnight, and
has been rising very slowly ever since
The water has backed up in the Blue
Earth river and in the Minnesota
above the mouth of the Blue Earth
and is bank high. 1t is said to be a
foot higher than it was during the
high water last spring.
A considerable section has become
overlooked, and the brick yard in Riv-
erSide park is under water. Ole
Johnson, who lives in that section, was
obliged to move out of his house last
night, and the water now covers the
first floor. 1t would take a considera-
BILE rise to flood any other house, and
it is believed the gorge will be broken
before any further damage has been
done.
The ice is packed andjammed together
with great force and presents an in
teresting sight. Dynamite was 'ex-
ploded in it during the day, but with
out effect, as the efforts were confined
to the edges.
The gorge broke at about noon and
for two hours there was grand sight,
which was witnessed by hundreds of
people from the bridge. AS far as the
eye could see in each direction there
was solid field of ice. This finally
passed down the river leaving the sur
face comparatively clear. The river
rose rapidly below the gorge. All
danger is now believed to be past for
the present.
