RARE THEATRICAL THE AT.— lt hap pens once in a while that Millheini is favored witli good theatrical troupes and such is the case thii week. The Sterling Comedy Company, consisting of eight persons, and supporting that excellent actor, Mr. W. It. Porter, ar rived in town on Monday and will re main with us this week. They began their series of plays in the town hall on Monday evening with"Our Uncle from Catteraugus," followed on Tueiday evening by "Lady Andley's Secret" and list night by "Rip Van Winkle." The whole company is an experienced and first-class set of actois, while Mr. Porter, who carries the principal rolls is a perfect success on the stage. Their dramas are followed every evening by a side-splitting negro farce, which gives evidence that Mr. Porter and his fellow actors areas much at home in comedy as in tragedy. The company is well equipped with suitable sceneries, while the ladies have a pleasing'variety of rich and tasty costumes. What is especially commendable is that in all their perfor mances there is nothing objectionable, but they are of the highest and most decent character. To-night (Thurs day) they will play "Hazel Ivirke" and we assure our readeis that they will not regret going to see the renditious this splendid dramatical company.

Applicants, at the special examina tion, must present a written request, as required by decision 228, page 12i, School Laws of Pennsylvania, last edi tion, former edition, decision 301, page 140. A meeting of directors is desired on each day of examinatien. They should permit none,except persons of less—the difference in lax being th' > icduction of millage from 4to 3 mills. That is to say, a person who paid s<"> last year would on ly nay $1.50 this year. Lust year the whole amount of money at interest, in eluding bonds, mortgages, &0., was This year it is $2,873,747 a-graud difference of tuo million five hundred and ninety thousand four hun dred and eighteen dollars, the result of the late revenue acr, an increase of over eight hundred per cent, over last year, the State tax last year being sl,- ISO, while this year it is $9,045. There are SSO moio taxables this year than last. The real estate is val ued at $121,002 00 less than last year. The valuation of household furniture has doubled last year's figures. The value of pleasure carriages has increas ed since last year $17,070, and tho tax on watches is nearly twice as great as it was last year, showing conclusively that tho mainmnnth pink sheet of pa per with which our citizens were pie sented bv the several assessors had a sa lutary effect in tho increase of State tax. Same time ago the ladies of the W. 11. & F. M. Society of the Luther an church of this place were busily en gaged in manufacturing a quilt, com posed of gay colored patches, which were furnished by members and friends of the society, at 5 cents a piece, each patch bearing the name of the contribu tor. This quilt was gotten up for and sent to the Denver, Col. mission and the following letter was received by the society in reply to their handsome gift; Denver, Col., July 20th, 'BO. To the Ladies of the Millheim W.II. & F. M. Society—Greetings in the name of t ho I/ird Jesus. Your kind souyenir in the shape of a memorial quilt reached us safely and was enjoyed as much as the giving, I can assure you, though the Master said "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Yours the blessing, ours the pleasure, and with us it shall abide. No amount of money could purchase it, 1 assure you, unless it would be as sug gested, for the benefit of the mission and to the credit of your society. We shall make no effort to dispose of it for we do enj y the pleasant reminders in our woik. Indeed there is nothing cine is us more. The work is often trying and dreadfully discouraging and I cannot help the feeling some times, "What is the use for this little handful of people." We have much to encourage us even amid our trials. Not the least by any means is the sympathy and thoughtfill ness of cur fneuds in the East. I did enjoy that passage in your letter which sajs, "I can assure you that many kind wishes and earnest prayers ac companied many of the stitches." Piayeis and sympathy go a great ways in keeping a missionary's coinage up, and courage is half the battle. We enjoyed read'ng over the names very much and when our eyes lighted on the name of our dear departed Dr. Weiser we were especially gl.ul that aome 0110 remembered him. He long ed to see a Lutheran church in Denver and helped us plan and purchase the lots, but before the work was finished he was called home. His uame, how ever, is on one of the windows and will be on one of our pews. We are greatly cheered by the inter ested taken in our work by the Wo man's Missionary Society of Millheim. Surely your society has done well and we will take great pleasure in securing a pew for you and inscribing as you suggest. If all the church had done as well as your little congregation we could build a Lutheran church in every important point in Colorado. May the Dear Master say to each one of vou in that day, "She hath done what she could." Asking for an abiding place in your prayers and sympathies, I remain Yours in Christ, P. A. llkilman.

AARONSBURG. Dou"t forget the festival next Satur day evening at the Luth. church. Andy Immel was to Sunbury to rent a hotel. 11. 11. and F. J. Weayer have gone to York state again for another lot of Holstein cattle. Comets generally don't last long, es pecially those having short tails. Henry S. Gross' wife and grand daugthter from Phila., are the guests of Mrs. Thos. Yearick. Mr. and Mrs. Seebold from Ilarris burg. Pa., are paying a parental visit to Rev. Deitzler's. John Sylvis has moved his Boot and Shoe shop to Millheim. John will make cobbling a specialty. If you want to see how it used to be one hundred years ago, come to the festival next Saturday evening. Hard cider is a bad thing when boys (young men) drink too much of it. If it is notoriety you are seeking a few more street scenes like the one on last Mon day night will surely attract public at tention. It being a fact that Aaronsburg is not a borough is an inducement for young men of other towns to come here to act as they think at free will. Our people liaye suffered a great d
