It has been decided by the Kitchen M. E. Church, Welliversville to meet on June 4th to work and put the Kitchen Cemetery in good order. All who are interested in the cemetery are requested to come and help. President Marsh of the broken Key stone Bank of Philadelphia, has dis appeared, and his bail have offered a reward for his capture. City Treas urer Bardsley has resigned, and made an assignment. Just now the Quaker City appears to be having a parrot of a time i f it financially. A level headed newspaper man has described the ''pass" and its emolu ments as follows : One of the beauties and charms of an editor's life is in his deadheading on all occasions. No one who has tver feasted on the sweets of that bliss can begin to take in the glory of its happiness. He does $100 worth of advertising for a railroad, gets a "pass" for a year, rides $25 worth and then is looked upon as a deadhead or a half-blown dead beat. He also "puffs" a troupe $10 worth and gets fifty cents in complimentaries, and is thus passed in "free." If the hall is crowded he is begrudged the noom he occupies, for if his compli mentaries were paying tickets the troupe would be so much in pocket. He blows and puffs a church festi val to any desired extent, and does the Roster printing at half rates, and rare- gets your thank you for it. It goes as part of his duty as an editor. He docs more work gratuitously for the town and community than all the rest of the population put together and gets cursed for it all, while in many instances where a man donates a few dollars to a Fourth of July celebra tion, base ball club, or church, he is gratefully remembered. Oh, it is a sweet thing to be an editor! He passes "free," you know. Y.M 0-A. RECEPTION.

Houtz in a neat and appropri ate manner, ami responded to by Dr. R. Ilamill Davis in happy and well chosen words. The business of the convention con sisted in the reading of the minutes of the last meeting of convention, elec tion of officers, appointing of commit tees, reports of delegates, report of Treasurer, and discussion of the diff erent topics assigned. Repoits of Delegates were interest ing, showing the comparative increase of membership, and in the amounts contributed. In all the Schools there seemed to be increase and improve ment, in number of volumes of their libraries and all the literature of the schools. A good showing was made in the average attendance of scholars and teachers. The committee on Resolutions was instructed to formulate the following as the sense of this convention : Jlesoleed. That these Sunday school conventions exert a good influ ence in removing denominational pre judice and in fostering christian love. Resolved. That the Pastor is by virtue of his office, the general super intendent over all the Sunday schools in his charge. And that it is his duty to inspect them and counsel in the se lection of officers,teachers and Sunday school literature and music, and to urge the claims of the Sunday school upon the parents and congregations. Jiesoloed. That Parents when pos sible should attend the Sunday school as their interests are allied with that of their children, as the tendency of scholars, especially the boys, is to drift away from the Sunday school when they grow up, and as the workers in the Sunday school need the encourage ment of parents. Jiesoloed. That the teacher teach es for eternity. That the true end of teaching is practical Christianity. And the necessary qualifications of Sunday School teachers are: He must be well versed in scripture. He must be a sincere christian. And he must have tact. Jlesolved. That kind attention on the part of the teacher, the persuasive influence of the parents, and the gen eral attractiveness of the Sunday school will contribute much to good attendance of the scholars. Resolved. That teaching in the Sunday school is not optional work but obligatory on the teacher as a christian, as a church member, and as a moral citizen. Jiesoloed That the Sunday school should not support itself, but be sup ported by the congregation, and the contributions of the Sunday school should be purely for benevolent pur poses thereof cultivating the spirit of benevolence among the children. Jiesoloed. That the Sunday school is not for the young exclusively but should be considered as the congrega tional meeting on Sabbath to study the word of God. Jlesolved. That our thanks are hereby tendered to the good people of - .... r 1 urangevine ior ineir mnu nospuaiuy and to the Union church for the use of the same. A. Houtz. ") H. A Straub. V Committe. E. A.

Be fore coming here they visited some of their children in Michigan, from which State they were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Gearhart Kile. Charles Everhart arrived from Philadelphia last week and is visiting his parents and friends at this place. He is a machinist and will go back to the city in a few days. There will be a meeting at the Union church on Saturday evening to see about holding a festival in this place in the near future. Festivals are very nice places for amusement but as a general rule we believe they should be held, if held at all for indi vidual gain and let those who wish to support any good cause give the money directly to the cause and in country districts at least, we think it would save a great deal of ill feelings. The rains we had last week were very much needed and a little more would help the plowing. Cut worms are said to be cutting off the corn and garden plants around here at a great rate.

James McHenry's family at Cambra last Friday when she exhibited some of her elocutionary powers. Happening in town on the above day, we were called in to witness her abil ity, and we were delighted with the good treat. The parlor was filled with eager and amused listeners. The young lady is of an amiable and social nature, and the tite of one of her rec itations was "Katarina's Visit to New York". Her father was born in the Cambra hotel, and it must be a source of gratification to Miss Bittenbender to have visited the place of her father's birth. The rains last week have resuscita ted vegetation and all nature seems smiling. Bruce Cary has remodeled, improved and otherwise beautified the Cambra hotel, and he is obliging, clever, and a congenial landlord. The traveling public will find first class accommodations when calling upon him for enjoyment, besides he is democratic to the core and knows how to pitch quoits.
