W. H. Fry, of Pine Grove Mills, was chosen toastmaster, and he in- troduced as the first speaker of the even- ing John R. Lemon, the captain of the olab. Others who responded were Joe Meyers, Warren S. Ward, Howard Barr, sod O. M. Grazier.

Virgie Hampton, Mrs. Ray's nurse girl, was in the hallway and the firsts to discover the flames aud with rare presence of mind ran oto the dining room and had torn down moss of the blazing curtains by the time others arrived. As it was the curtains and shades at three windows as well as moss of the decorations were destroyed. The wood- work at the windows was charred and paint blistered while the paper was all smoke- be-grimed. Dishes were broken and holes burned in a quantity of table linen bat for- tauately no great damage was done, and the room was cleaned out, tables re-set and supper served thirty mioutes later, with the Academy banquet given on time. The fire looked so dangerous that the alarm was sounded and the firemen re- sponded. Among those first on the scene was J. C. Harper, and it is alleged upon good authority that thoogh he has been a contributing member of the Logans [or thirty-five years, this is the firat time when he was fortunate enough to be right in the forefront at a fire— or in fact be there at all. Next to him was Jacob Marks, and of course then came the firemen.

Ibis the purpose that these agents shall them- selves communicate with the farmers living near their stations and suggest to them plans whereby the outputs of their farms may be made more profitable.

The trip of the agents to State College is to be followed by an active campaign on the part of the railroad management to in- terest the farmers along the line, especially of the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad, in more scientific farming. Special instroo- tion trains will beeens over different routes and efforts will be made to indnce farmers personally to go to Siate College that they may observe the opportunities which are open to them.
