A FAyoRITE MINISTER. E.
D. Miller, a well-known Berkeley
county young man, a brother of ex-
Sheriff Chas. Fl. Miller, was the re-
cipient of handsome gift by the
members of the American Reformed
Church, of Newburg, N. Y, a pres
ent showing the esteem in which he
was held. The following speaks for
itself
"a farewell reception was given
the Rev. Edward D. Miller last ev-
ening at the parsonage of the Amer
lean Reformed Church. He has
been the acting pastor of the church
during the last eleven months, and
is very popular with its congrega-
ton. There were about It's persons
present to say good-by to the divine,
who will sail from New York for
Berlin tomorrow.
After an hour had been spent in a
social way, Mayor B. B. Odell, in a
few we'll chosen words, introduced
the Rev. Jesse F. Shafer. who pre-
sented Mr.. Miller a gold watch, his
presentation speech being beautiful
tribute to the success of Rev. Miller.
'rhe gift, very handsome gold
watch, was complete surprise to
the recipient. The fact, however did
not prevent Mr.. Miller from making
short address in response, in which
he told of the heartfelt interest he
had in this church and it's people.
He expressed his high appreciation
of the gift he had received and re.
turned his thanks to the donors.
After the presentation another
hour or so of social converse was en-
ioyed and the reception came to an
end with the expression of many
good wishes for Rev. Mr.. Miller in
his trip across the Atlantic.

A LIVELY SoRAp.-The corner OF
the Burkhart building was the scene
of lively scrap Monday night be-

seems that Mr.. John Reynolds, who
was much the worse for numerous
potentations, got into an alteration
with Mr.. Mifiin Pyles, and he beng
too weak to successfully defend him
self, although he was using his cane
to his best advantage, Mr.. Mike Mo-
ran interfered in his behalf and pun
ished Mr.. Reynolds quite severely.
DIR. W. 7. Henshaw, who happened
to come along at the time, took Rey-
nolds over to his office and dressed
his wounds consisting of much
abused nose and a cut over the fore
head, after which Moran. who had
inflicted the bruises, took him to his

HICKS ON MAY.-The Rev. Ira r.
Hicks, that famous weather man
whose representations so many tie
to, says as follows for may:
May comes in with tendency to
cloudiness and drizzle, due to mer-
cury's equinox on the 3rd. The new
moon on the 5th adds to this infu-
ence to cause warm weather and
heavy storms 4th to 7th, followed by
cool nights and touches of frost to
the north. About the 10th, in the
west, will come rains, growing into
storms which will move eastward to
the 18th. About 18th to 10Th will
come more warm weather proceeding
thunder storms, followed by cool
weather. A storm period is due
from the 22d to the oath, after which
comes cooler weather until 9th to
28th, when it will again be very
warm with reactionary storms on
the 28th or 29th, ending the month
IN fair, cool days and nights. May
is comparatively free from disturbing
causes this year, exciting the relief
and hope that storms will fall to the
minimum in number and violence
and that it will prove propitious to
all interests.

READ THIS CAREFULLY-A REMARK
ABLE WAR SOUVENIR FREE.-The top
notch of enterprise and liberality
has been reached by the Pittsburg
Times, which announces that every
one of its sixty thousand subscribers
and all who will become regular
readers before Saturday, May 18th,
will be presented with the First Part
Of the most remarkable Art Portfolio
of-the year. The work referred to
is Crank Leslie's Scenes and Per-
traits of the Civil War; which will
furnish a complete and authentic
history of the conflict between the
States in pictures drawn on the spot
and in descriptive prose. The First
Part will be delivered free to all
readers of the Pittsburg Times in
exchange for the first six coupons,
and the other twenty-nine parts will
be furnished in exchange for six cou-
pons clipped from the Times and ten
cents for each part.
There will be thirty parts, twenty
six of which Will be devoted to illus
trations and four to reading matter.
Each of the twenty-six parts will
contain sixteen illustrations, making
a total of four hundred and sixteen
in the complete volume. Short de-
scriptions will accompany the pic
lures in each part. The pictures
were made on the scene of battle by
the most famous artist of the time,
and can therefore be relied upon as
absolutely accurate. The work will
be supplement to every written
history, portraying as it does the
striking incidents of battle, and Civ
ing the likenesses of the leaders
whose names were on every tonge in
the days of strife. Here the veterans
will find the past recalled, and here
the young may gain inspiration to
emulate their patriotism and devo-
ton.
The Pittsburg Times deserves
thanks for placing this splendid his
tory within the reach of the people
at nominal cost, and its proposed
free distribution of the First Part to
all its readers is generosity without
a parallel. If you are not a reader
of the Times, order it from your
news agent at once. If there is no
agent for the Times in your locality
write to the Times, Pittsburg, Pa,
for terms to clubs and agents.

hundred of the foremost citizens of

organized committees torrepare for

the Grand Army Of the Republic at
Pittsburg during the week beginning
September 10th next. This promises
to be the largest and most impressive

such vast numbers.
Pittsburg Councils have appropri-

$1,000, while the people of the two
municipalities are expected to sub
scribe $75, 900 to the end that the
