CLOSED.— On Friday last the mammoth Bee Hive Store, in Lock Haven was clo cd; but the sheriff had nothing to do with the matter what ever.

Ibe Bee Hive is again and doing a very large business, ami you will do well—first to read its big advertise ment in another column and then go j and buy your supplies there.

The Reformed church at Madison burg was dedicated on Sunday, Jan. 9th. The church was literally packed with people ou th occasion. Rev. Derr of Williamsport preached the dedicatory sermon. The Quarterly Conterence of_ the Evangelical church convened at Re bersburg Saturday the Bth. Pre siding Elder Swengle was here and preached very excellent sermons on several occasions. The Elder is still quite a young man ia years, but un doubtedly ripe in exj>erience as a preacher. Although our genial friend L. B. Frank is in tne midst of eon jugal fe licity, he nevertheless experiences, that an ugly boil on the back of the neck is more of a hindrance than a help to perfect bliss in the new depart ure. Several of our youug married friends were made the huppv recipients of ap preciable presents during the holiday season. T. M. Graraley's gift was in the form of a young schoolmaster or rather Life Insurance Agent—a *•* on at that, and our stately friend Cy rus is almost overcome with joj un speakable, from the fact, that hence forth some one will call him as "Ta p."

Girls, when you say sweet things on paper to young g&tlemen, it is not ad visable to let those sacred outpourings lie around anywhere. -"They will gen erally fall into the hands of the wrong man. But who is Schlegelfelder? That's the question. At the recent election of S. S. of ficers Mr. Wilson Haines was chosen j Superintendent. John C. Motz, Esq., J has officiated in that capacity for a number of years; atid to his energy and zeal as presiding officer the present prosperity of the school is largely at tributable. The Rev, John Tomlinson is hold ing a protracted meeting at St. Paul's Church. Mr. Tomlinson, in our estimation is decidedly the most learned divine in this section, and whoever hears his sermons can not fail to be benefitted thereby. In speaking be has a style suiqeneris. He is a profound thinker : and a logical reasoner. The manner in which he analyzes a sermon and lays it before his hearers, that the dullest mind can readily grasp it, shows un mistakably his perfect mastery of the subject. He declares the Truth in a straightforward, fearless manner, and denounces all sin without palliation or extenuation. JIM SCHRODER.

Wo received from a correspondent tlie followiug somewhat incoherent ac count of a duel which was fought in his neighborhood Some way or oth er-, we are half in the dark about the result of the duel iu question, but we shall leave the decision to our readers: A duel was lately fought in Texas by Alexander Shott and John 8. Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not. In this case it is better to. be Shott than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott was shot, and Shott awows that he shot Nott, which proves either that the Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or that Nott was shot notwithstand ing.
