You see dear "Vale" your sistertown, our en terprising, thriving little borough of Millheim is precisely in the same shoes and your sentiments on gossip and scandal yoiced ours so minutely that we thought you stole the words out of our mouth. It is a state of affairs that will greatly disturb the peace and tranquility of any town and will create a hateful and qubrotherly spirit in the ohuiohes. In the poet's words '•lh' who st iba my name Would stab my person too Did not tin' hangman's rope Lie in the way.' Ilowovsr there are always two sides to a question and it is a long establish ed fact that slanderers generally have the darkest past records themselves and their vile nature causa them to rev el in the very deepest mire.

The grain houses were unusually lively last week taking in and shipping grain. On Thursday last the freight train going west jumped ttie track just west of the Station and blocked lire main track f'r several hours, until a wreck train arrived here and put them on the track again. The accident was caused by a broken switch rod and no more ! d .m :ge ,v..s done than the detent ion to trains. The Evangelical meeting is still in progress bat the interest seems to be dying out which should not be the case as there are many more who should feel some interest in it. Next Sabbath will decide whether the Sunday school shall be continued or not. Officers were to have been elected last Sabbath but there were not enough older persons on hand to elect. It would be a shame should our school be closed here, when we have from f>o to 100 scholars every Sunday. It all rests with the parents now, as there is no trouble at all in getting in the children. If parents would rather have their children roaming through the woods or on the ice skating, when they could be under the good influence of the Sabbath school, then they willbe held accountable and not the small children. We hope to see a good turn out next Sunday and hope the school will be kept up. Coburn for its size has become as great a place for gossip and slander as many other places three or four times its size. Almost daily there is some thing new stirred up and passed from mouth to mouth until what at first was nothing is made up into something wonderful. It seems to us we have people in our midst whose chief delight is to gossip and watch their belters. Tliey pry into all the family and busi ness relations of their neighbors to see if they cannot find something to get up a new sensation. Now the worst about this deplorable business is tbat some who want to be good church members and wh j take an active part in church affair are guilty of such con duct. Where, oh where is that broth erly love and charity we are taught must he shown toward eactiothpr. In stead of trying to damage and ruin the business and character of a neighbor they should be the very ones to dis countenance and frown down upon such things. It these people could on ly learn to see their own faults, which are legion, and chief among which is to mind other people's business. VALE. MADISONBURG.
