Dee. 2th, ISS\ ANNIVERSARY.—SUNDAY the 18!h inst. was the 80th birthday of Mr. E inanuel Ettinger, of Aaronuburg. The anniversary was celebrated on Monday following, when a reunion of the family took place. A magnificent dinner was prepared which was enjoyed with a guto by all present. The following guests shared in the festivities: Mr. Wro. 17. Stover, Ms. Sarah Stover, Maj. R. 11. Forster, Mrs. Joanna Fors ter & daughters, Mrs. Louisa Kurtz & daughters, Mr. L. 1). Kurtz. Mrs. Ellen Kurtz fc family, Mr. Luther Stover, Mrs. Annie Stover, Mr. (J. G. Bright, Mrs. Emma Bright A daugh ter, Mr. Charles Stover, Mrs. Annie E. Ettinger, Mrs. 0. Tomlinson, and, of course., the united Txtad of this pleas ant gathering of relatives. It was an interesting gathering for the twofold reason that it was a birth-day feast and a re-union. It was a serious, solemn occasion, becuse the thought occurred that such a scene might not be wit nessed a&ain on earth ; and it remind ed one also of the fact that a more splendid and glorious reunion might some day take place in the Fathei's House above. May our esteemed fiiend have many similar returns of his birthday here be low. J. T. MAKING PRESENTS. The beautiful custom of making presents during the Holiday season is becoming more general every year. The man who does not, according to his circumstances and ability, gladden the hearts of his dear ones at home, with presents, is fast becoming the excep tion. This is one of the evidences that culture and refinement are ad vancing, that our civilization is ripen ing into a higher and nobler type. And yet, the system, if system it may be called, is still yery crude and im perfect. It has too much of vanity and selfishness, too little of pure, scrip tural charity, in it. The rich make presents tri other rich friends, often to ''receive as much again 1 ' while the poor and lowly are largely neglected, if not entirely forgotten. Friends remember friends only , while those whose humble circumstances forbid them to move in the same social are mostly passed b}, as though their well-being, their sorrows and joys, their struggles and sufferings concerned us nothing, at least not so long as we have plenty and to spare. Our present-making should assume a more practical form. We should re member the poor and needy, the neg lected ones of earth, and occasionally cheer their heartswith substantial gifts. Nor should we wait until they come begging for alms, but go and seek them out in their homes and relieve their wants in season, and as the Lord has blessed ns with means. "He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth unto the Lord." —The Centre County Teacher's In stitute will meet at the Court llouso Bellpfonte, Monday, Dec. L'Oth, at 2 o'clock, P. M.

Bitner, of the Keystone State Normal school, Prof. ,1. \V. Ilestern, nfcd Presideht MeKee, of State College. Interesting papers will bo read by some of ohr own teachers. K ULtAPHRUKKS TKKKIBI E DEATH. From the llockforU (111.) Qasetto- A startling story comes to us among our exchanges, from Union County, Arkansas, ami is said to bo as true as it is strange: That three young men were sitting on their horses in the road, discussing the probabilities of rain from a cloud which was just then rising in the west. The youngest of the group, named John Freeman, referred to the drought and remarked that a God who would allow His people to suffer this couldn't amount to much. As he was speaking this the boys were encircled with light ning and the speaker stunned severely, though his companions were unscath ed. Recovering, he rpnewed the sub ject, bitterly reviling the Supreme Power. Instantly, a b >lt of lightning dashed from the clout overhead and the young man fell dead in his tracks. Nearly every bine in his body was mashed tb a jelly, while his boots wore torn from his feet and the clothing from his lower extremities. The body presented a horible appearance, being a blackened and mmgle I mass of hu manity. llis companions were stun ned and thrown on the ground, but not seiiously injured. The funeral of the unfortunate young man occured the next d ly, and attacted a large crowd, the larger portion of whom were drawn thither by the rumor of the strange events preceding the death of the diceased. When the body was deposited in the grave and tho loose eirth had been thrown in until the ap erture was tilled, and while the friends of the dead man yet lingered in the cemetery, a b >lt of lightning descended from a cloud directly over the burial place and struck ttie grave throwing the dirt as if a plow bad passed lengthwise through it. No oirc was injured, but those peraent scattered, almost para lyzed with terror. The incident is ex citing a great deal of attention—min isters and religious people generally holding that the young man was the wrath of an offtMided God. while others assert the case was simply a wonderful coincidence, having no connection with causes either physical or super natural. Sews Miscellany. BEAUTIES of politics: If Ilcaven were run on the American pi in there would straightway be a caucus to see who should be gatekeeper. A Connecticut deacon refused to pay taxes on his residence, on the ground that, atj he held leligious services in it every morning and evening, it was by law exempt as a "house of worship." The collectors, refusing to allow his claim, sold the building.

A |VOHA>, FALSKLY ACCI SF.D, GOES J MAD. Special Dispatch to the Times, READING, December 13.— Mrs. Catharine (1 ruber, aged forty-six, who resides i.i the upper section of the city, has become hopelessly insane on ac count of being arrested on the charge of stealing goods at the Farmers' Mar ket House a few days ago. She had , a hearing before Alderman Brown well, but the evidence adduced was of such an unsatisfactory character that she was discharged. The fact of her ar rest so preyed on her mind that she be came despondent and is now violently insane. She is the mother of several children, some of whom reside in Phil adelphia. It is understood that the unfortunate woman will be removed to an asylum. Iler neigbors were surpris ed at the arrest and doclared that a mistake had been made. Miss REBECCA BATES died at Scit uate, Mass., yesterday, aged eighty eight years. Miss Bates and her cousin, Abbie, were the heroines in the Brit ish "scare" in 1812, when the two girls, hidden behind rocks on the beach with fife and drum sounded the roll call and put to flight several boat-loads of troops from a British man-of-war, who were about to make a landiug. Miss Bates' cousin, Abbie, is still liV ing and is eighty year 3 of age. DIED. On the 16th Inst.'near Perm Hall, Lewis Ecl mond Grenoble, aged 23 years, 7 months and 26 days.
