Not Guilty of Heresy.

Religious creeds are breaking be-
fore the mechanical inventions of the
day. Mechanical inventions have
added SO much to the physicIl com
fort and convenience Of the people
that the mind of man is absorbed
with pursuit of comfort, convenience,
aud pleasure to such degree, that
spiritual or religious matters are
forced aside, because they cannot be
touched tasted N handled or seen.
1t is hard thing to catch the mind
of a healthy person in this material
istlc age of comfort and convenience
of things of sight, sound, taste, and
touch, and direct that mind to re-
fleet on things unseen and unheard.
The rush, roar, and enjoyment of the
good things of this c:viliz ltion seems
to be out of place with the times
of oppression, tyrany, and blood
shed among men when the most of
the old creeds were formulated, and
these facts probably have more to do.
than any other cause, with prominent
lights in the church, ike Professor
Briggs, breaking away from creed
rule, and writings of men who lived
under different circumstances and
different modes of life. Two hun
dred years ago Professor Briggs
would have been declared a hereto
at the first session OF any acclesia,
stical body of his church, before
which he might have been put upon
trial. Now however under the
changes wrought by a civilization
entirely different from the one under
which the Pre- byterian creed was
formulated he is declared not guilty
of heresy.

Bloomfield Democrat A Rye twp,
correspondent writes us that John
Bell killed a porker that weighed
$50 pounds, dressed 1t was about
26 months old. The
Presbyterian congregations of this
place and Shermansdale, at congre-
gational meeting held last Saturday,
extended unanimous call to Rev. J..
McElmoyle, of Philadelphia, at a SAL
airy of 81 600 per year and parsonage
rent 1t is thought he will accept.
On two occasions this
season George Hoffman, of Centre
township, was hunting wild turkeys
when he saw approaching him fox.
The animal was attracted to him by
his turkey call, which it mistoek for
that of wild turkey. In both in
stances the foxes approached in the
same manner. They came slipping
along with their heads down and
bent under, SO that the top of the
head almost touched the ground.
Occasionally they would stop, look
around, put their ear to the ground

of trained bull dogs that Kill every
strange dog they find alone on the
farm. He says they make quick aud
sure work with every dog they take
hold of.
Another very enteryrising, court
eous, reasonable sheepraiser shoots
every dog that prowls around his
premises day or night. He makes it
a rule to get the dogs before they
get his sheep, and thus avoids the
losses and annoyances formerly and
usually experienced, Another large
sheep raiser has a shepherd With his
focks during the day, and keeps
them at night in a yard inclosed
with wire picket fence five feet
high, which is dog proof. Some
sheep men practice the liberal, If moi
indiscriminate, feeding of poisoned
meats to dogs known to spend theii
nights away from home.

Hotel Fire.

The Coalman Hotel in Lewistown,
was destroyed by fire on the morn
ing of December 81. The loss is
estimated at $40, 900, insurance 5000.
The fire started in Snyder's restaur-
ant directly under the parlor. The
inmates all escaped with their lives
but a number OF them had not time
to take more clothing with them
than they had on their backs. A
travelling salesman lost his pocket
book containing almost two hundred
dollars and all his travelling effects
he WAS helped out of the hotel and
thanked god and the men who had
helped him out that he had not per-
ished in the flames and had not been
hurt, he had no clothing on except
his night clothes. Mrs. Gamble and
two children, guests in the house
lost their trunks, clothing, and were
hurried out in night gowns and
barefooted into the zero weather, a
carriage was gotten as quickly as
possible and they were taken to the
home of Mr. J. A. Knight, relative.
Professor Barnett, of Bloomfield,
Perry county lost his books aud 9th
er valuables. These arc few of the
losses that guests sustained. Airs
Coleman and the employees in the
hotel lost all of their personal effects.
The fire was first discovered about
3 o'clock in the morning. By 7
o'clock the fire department mad sub
dued it. The damage to near by
property was considerable One of
the remarkable things about it all
is that family that lives not over
one hundred feet from the fire place
slept soundly through ell the noise
and din of the occasion.

by the 9th Cavalry and was with
him on Sherman's famous march
"from Atlanta to tho Sea-" AMI up
through the Carolinas and was pre-
sent at the surrender of Johnston 5
arm near HIilsboro, n. G. At the
termination of the war the mare was
brought home by Major Shuman
and for her services was kept in easy
retirement up until old age 50 en-
feebled her that she had to be put
out OF the way last month. "Annie
Maria" has been a prominent and
intere sting feature at many soldiers

now be seen no more.

ter of President Harrison, took scar
let fever, and red card, with the
words, Scarlet Fever Within" was
hung on the doors of the White
House, last week, and will hang there
for two weeks to come. The scarlet
fever is something politicians are
shy of, they don't like to get even
the odor of it in their clothes, and as
quickly as they spied the cards on
the doors of the Executive mansion
they turned away. Other people
were equally shy, and thus an effiic-
ton has been the means of saving
the President from many callers.

A WAR cloud bigger than mans

are building more war vessels for
the lakes between the United States
and Canada than the treaty of 1917
permits. War is always an uncer,
