GOOD AND TIMELY lllNT.—Busi ness over the country is booming, manufactories are crowded with or ders, railroads ate taxed to their ut most to convey freight, mouey is plen ty, real estate is advancing, States and municipal treasuries are filling up— what a cunt last with the deplorable condition of things a few years ago. The careful man will uow provide for the future, when the evil d iys sh.t'l come, but the thoughtless young man will spend tiiat wliicn be has and let the future tike care of itself. Ax. A SURPRISE PARTY.—A number of our ladies gave Rev. N. Shannon a surprise donation o.i Wednesday eve ning of ltst week. The family had no intimation of the intended raid, and when the ladies came, one after anoth er, with baskets, bundles and packages, their surp is.s was only equaled by their j>y and thankfulness. Something like fifteen dollars' worth of groceries, dry goods and sundries were piled upon a table in the loom. After a pleasant time spent in social conversation, and a short address and prayer by Mr. Shannon, the ladies left for their homes well pleased for having made one home happy. Such deeds are what we call practical leligion—such scenes cause the angels to rejoice. They strengthen the bonds of love and clarity on earth and bear precious fruit for eternity. *. ANOTHER.—On Monday afternoon a number of the good people of Aarons burg, together with a few from Mill heim, made a surprise visit to Mr. B's, in the former place, bringing wood, wheat, flour, potatoes, apples und gro ceries in quite respectable quantities, and of prime quality. The "man with a voice" was on hand to make a little speech, and the kind donors weretibout as happy as the recipients of the timely presents. Mr. B. is an industrious mechanic and a most worthy citizen, but has been afflicted with sickness and unable to work for over a year. NEW WOKDS.— The new Edition ot Webster's Unabridged Die tionary, numbering 1928 quarto pages, contain s nearly £OOO new words or new meanings of old ones. These words range over the fields of science, medicine, invention, dis covery, resear eh, etc., departments which in this age are cons tanly yielding fresh ideas, re quiring new words to express them. That they have not been hastily compiled is evidenced by the accuracy of and careful study j given to their etymology and definitions. | The intelligent reader, or any reader who I would be intelligent, will* find this feature of ' the dictionary quite indispensable. Rev.P. O. Weidemyer's Case in Court. From the Lewlsburß Chronicle of March 16th. This caso occupied tho Court the better part of two days, but tho Court, while charging the jury that the mat ter complained of wa§ libellous, direct ed the jury to tlud a verdict of not guilty of the charge, because of a fail ure in proof of such publication as was necessary to sustain the indictment. The jury however, imposed costs upon the defendant, and after rendering their verdict united in the following statement, which was done in justice to the prosecutor: "We, tlx* undersignfd juryman who sat upon the trial of Christiana Cath eiman, in which the Rev. Peter C. Weidemyer was the prosecutor, hav ing rendered our verdict of not guilty, in accordance with the direction of the Court because of the technical failure of proof of publication do with great cordiality aud perfect unanimity say that before them the charge made a gainst liiiu of improper conduct at the Camp-meeting near Yeislcy'e in the county ot Union, in the summer of 1878, was wholly uusustained, that the Rev., Peter C. Weidemyer clearly show ed, by the evidenoe that the charge was unfounded and that the add Rev. Peter C. Weidemyer came out of it with an unspotted character and un sullied reputation. We do this at our own suggestion and with a desire to vindicate tho character of one whom we regard as entiiely inn 'Cent. "John Rishel, T. Y. Ilarbeson, Jacob Gutflius, Dan'l Rishel, J dm V.

The flitting season is at lmnd and quite a number of changes will be made Our doctors announce "good times" as quite a number of people are sick. Three new houses will be erected in Rebeisburg the coming summer. Mr. Jtfterson Koyer is liist to begin active work. No more tooth ache—Dr. L. 11. Leitzel), a graduate of the Pennsylva nia Dental College, has located m lte bersburg, and already has an extensive practice. Mjncy is quite pleuty in our valley this spring. Nearly everybody—ex cepting "Occasional" seems to be anx ious to deposit a little surplus cash. By the way, Mr. Editor what will you do with your thousands, eh V [What a cruel, heartless question to ask a poor editor. No, it is too much, even for our almost matchless patience. We hoje the school directors of Miles will estab lish'* school in which g<>od manners will be the exclusive branch taught, and "Occasional" the only pupil. Ed.] Our teachers netd not expect increas ed salaiits in the near future, as two new ones have arrived with the intent to £ti*y. One stops with Mr. J. C. Mollis while the other stays with Mr. C. O. Mallory— both places well suited for pedagogical training. By the way one is a gill, the other a boy. Now for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. OCCASIONAL. The Smallpox Excitement in South Bethlehem. BETHLEHEM, I'a., March l r .—'The smallpox excitement at South Bet hie hem continues unabated and 120 cases are now reported in a small town of a bout four thousand inhabitents. The facuhj of the Lehigh University decid ed this morning to allow any students to leave who desired, until further no tice, and the students are now hurried ly leaving for home. Many heads of families are arriving on every train and taking their daughters from Bishop thorpe school, which is located on an eminence a short distance from the town. It is probable that the scare will close that school. It is too early to s'-ate definitely the virulence of the disease, although it is known that sev eral cases of continent smallpox have been reported. No deaths as yet. The authorities are talking about arresting a drunken doctor, who visits patients, and then travels around with the same clothing on. Ten more houses were quarantined this forenoon. A numlei of violent pUieuts, with confluent smallpox, are handcuffed and guarded at home. SOUTH BETHLEHEM, March, 19. The smallpox excitement here contin ues, though it is more subdued than last week, because of the belief that the epidea ic is under control. Nearly every person here and in Bethlehem has been vaccinnated and good results are al ready apparant. Ouly four new cases have been reported. Eighteen deaths have been reported since Friday, two occurring to-day. There are now five cases In Bethlehem and one in old South Bethlehem.
