John I). Foote departed this life at his home in Millheim, March 28th, 1882, in the 4'Jth year of his age. Mr. Foote's native home was Mirtliu burg, Pa. lie commenced active) life in Danvi'le, Fa., as clerk in a store, when a young man. In January 1852, a little over thirty years ago, he came to Millheim, and has resided here ever since. At first he engaged himself to Mr. P. A. ltuhl, as clerk, who at that time was one of the moat prominent merchants in Pe m's Valley. After a few years acceptable services Mr. Ruhl to<>k him i :to the ineicintile business as a partner. About the year lSJ9.be dissolved his business connection with Mr. Ituhl, and in co;J laction with his brother-in-law, Mr. It. P. Ilartman, bought out the foundry, machine and store business of S. AS. llaupt. The firm of Fcote & Ilartman continued until the winter of 1835, then disolved, Mr. Ilartman retiring. Since that time Mr. Foote has successfully car lied on the business alone, excepting for a few years, during which he was joined in a limited partnership with Messrs John 11. Musser and D. O. Buwer, of Aaronsburg. Tiie firm of Mnsser, Foote & B wer made a speci ality of manufacturing the cole. rated Keystone Cultivator and did an exten sive business. Iu the summer of 1879, the (loath angel eatere 1 the family circle, which before had al ways ouj ysd such excel leat health. The wife and mother was the first victim. She departed this life, Aug. Uth, i 879, leaving a family Of little children. A few months later George, the 3ec >nd s>n of Mr. Fo >te, met his death by accident. He lived with his uncle, Mr. Geo. W. Foote, at MifAinburg, at the time, and was out gathering nuts, withsnno cnmp mions. He fell from a tiee which he had climbed, and sustained such severe in juries that he survived only a few days never regaining conscionsness. Sum after these sore afflictions Mr. Foote began to feci serious effects from what aflet ward proved to be a cancer ous affection in the knee jiint. The evil grew worse, so that he was oblig ed to submit to an am putation, about two years ago. lie survived the shock bravely and helmed to regain his wont ed health. But the virus remained in the system, approached the stomach, and finally the strong, robust constitu tion had to sacc umb to the insidious euemy. For about twenty-eight yea s Mr. Foote was a prominent and active member of the M. E. Church, serving perhaps most of that time as class lead er and superintendent of the Saudiy School, lie wa3 a model of regular and punctual attendance upon public worship, prayer meeting and Sunday School. He will be much missed in his congregation, in the family and in the community. The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends. Itev. J. Benson Akers delivered a very solemn and im pressive funeral sermon from I.

A Wonderful Catastrophe Befalls a Parsonage. Mr. Editor:—l have something to tell you—but don't you say anything. You know that sometimes great occur rences taKe place in a community. Some are bad and unpleasant, but oth ers are pleasant, and therefore we are pleased to relate them to our neighbors and friends. I will now give you the fade in (he nine. Heie just last week when it was so cold, rainy and un pleasant, two of our Rebersburg sis* ters manifested a strange conduct. In the beginning of the week, notwith standing the mud and rain, tiny cross ed the mountain to Sugar Valley. Sev eral days afterwards they drove through lt.'borsburg back and forth, and around over the valley. The day was very disagreeable—it stormed and snowed unceasingly. If ladies were e ligible to county olllces one might have thought they were out electioneering; or if somebody had lost a valuable gift, we might have imagined they were on the hunt for it. At all events they acttd as though they had an extraordi nary work on hand. They tri dto a void tludr pastor, and at times even seemed a little provoked because he ignorantly interfered with their plans. But that is just the way, Mr. Editor, these women perforin when they re solve to do a good thing. No mud is deep enough, and no rain is int enough and no snow storm is terrific enough to hinder theui fiom carrying out their plans. And that is one reason why women often succeed better than wc men. But this is not all, Mr. Editor, 1 have to sav or else I might leave a wrong impression on your mind in re gard to our Robersburg sisters. Those strange proceedings on the part of the ladies went on during the greater part of the week. They were the forebod ings of some wonderful catastrophe to come. So it appeared to me. Ilad I been a Veunor or other great scientist, 1 might have been able to discern what it all meant, but under the circum stances I was obliged to exercise tho virtue of patience. On Saturday last the matter came to a nucleus. Tie mn ng of the d; y showed evidence of a gieat outburst. A modest old brother ad vis ed me not to leave th- parsonage. Tills caused a strange feeling within me. Thinks I, what will become of us V but felt de termined nevertheless to face the mu sic, come what might. At about 11 o'clock, A. M. the ad vance guard of what proved to be a small army of a peculiar kind, came moving towards the Reformed Parson age, planting iis batteries light before the d >or. It turned its guns into play and discharged volley after volley, of potatoes, apple butter, and many other things so useful and necessary in the family. Mr. Elilor, you may im ugine what effect such canuouadin g produc ed upon the inmates of the pa rsonage. In about an hour after the advance guard, tho main aimy arrived—ore regiment after another from every di rection. The peculiar features about this army were that it contained well behaved and well-trained soldieis. Thev undoubted ly were trained by ex cellent generals. The way they hand led their guns and disci urged their po tatoes, butter, eggs, coffee, eugar, lard, sausages, dried beef, soap, apples, wheat, flour, oats, &c, into our kitchen and graiuery, showed skill equal to that of the best sha rp-shooteis. Yes, Mr. Editor, I only wish yen could have seen the performa nets. [Welove such battles, and are very Iravc in such fights—Ed.] Yes and fuitker I wish that I could only see an editor served the some way. [lndeed that would be a novel enjoy inent for a poor editor— but they are pretty well used to being served the other way.—Fd.J You may think that the generals of this army used a pecrliar kind of am munition, but it was the best of the kind, and the only kind all good lady soldiers use. Bat I must tell you still more. A moug tiffs noble army was a good sol dim ess from your place. She anived just about the time the scene began to be lively. She took in the situation at a glance, huriied off to get {ammuni tion, returned to join the army and did as noble sorvi ce as any. The result ot the whole matter is this: The pastor and his family were enriched to the amount of ab-.ut §7B, by the labors of the kind sisters refer ed to, and the members who so gener ously responded to their calls. The whole affair was a v*ry happy one. All were glad—thoio that gave as well as those who received. We al! gave thanks to our kind Heavenly father, who rules the hearts of His children for good. The dear people then de parted in peace to their homes. May God's richest blessing, through Christ, rest and abide with them, is the prayer of their friend and PASTOK. Itebersburg, March 27th, 1882.
