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

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."

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.

BEAUTIES of politics: If Ilcaven

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.
DEALERS in gun powder should bear

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.
