The community in wnich he lived loses a a man of good principles and senti ments. Bro. Keller was a consistent member and class leader in the M. E. Church.

NORMAL SCHOOL MOTES- Last Friday evening Jan. 15th the the third entertainment of this yeir's "Students' Lecture Course" was en joyed in Institute Hall. Mrs. H. E. Monroe delivered her most elegant lecture entitled "England, Her Shrines and People." The views in every case were n.ost excellent, and the descriptions given by the lecturer were at once beautiful and instructive The next number in this well se lected course of lectures comes Feb. 12, and will be given by that wonder ful impersonator Mr. Leland T. Powers, in his famous rendition of "David Garrick." This is the enter tainment in which Mr. 1'owers has gained his very wide reputation. 1 on't forget the date, Feb. 1 2. On Monday evening Jan. 18, a most enjoyable time was afforded all the members ot the faculty of our school. This came in the form ot an invita tion from Mr. and Mrs. Newton Walker, on Rock street to tea with them on that evening, this being the occasion of Mr. Walker's 51st birth day. Alter a most elaborate serving of good things for the inner man, to enumerate which would overtax our limited acquaintance with the techni calities of the dining-roorn, all re paired to the parlors to spend the evening in discussing the current news and in the pla)ing of various games. Almost every Saturday at this time of the year many of the teachers are drawn upon by the various County Superintendents and teachers to assist in Local Institute work. Recently Prof. Noetling has been to F'.lysburg and Numedia, and Profs. Bakeless and Hart! me to Buckhorn. The attendance for the Spring term has never before been so promising. Already it has been found necessary to rent an additional building near the Normal for the accommodation of the threatened overflow of students. Almost every room in the large dormitory is already engaged and we have not yet reached the middle of the winter term. Teachers and the public generally are beginning to recognize the fact that we have here a practical Normal training school. MILLVILLE. Everybody is enjoying the sleighing. Hannah John was taken very sick at her son's J. L. John on Saturday after noon the oth, inst. The grip is giving some of our towns men a lively shaking up. As yet it has not assumed dangerous character istics. The funeral of Phineas Welliver of Greenwood that occured on Sunday the 1 oth inst., was largly attended. Interment at Jerseytown. He had carried the mail from Greenwood to Bloomsburg for some time. The engine of the W. & W. Rail way jumped the track on Monday the nth, on its way to Orangeville, at a point near C. W. Eves' farm, but for tunately the coaches remained on the track, so no one was hurt. G. The editor of the Towanda Report er Journal, in an article addressed to the boys, makes the following state ment, which is true as gospel : The idea that an abundance of money is a good thing is ail right ; but the idea that it is the chief good thing is all wrong. Every young man should strive to earn a comfortable living and save up something against the '-rainy day" which is more likely to come if one isn't prepared for it. But while the first social and civil duty of the ordinary man is to earn an honest liv ing, and while it is commendable to "get on in the world, no one should forget that wealth is only a secondary good. The aristocracy of intellect and the aristocracy of character are higher than the aristocracy of wealth, Robert Stiff died on Tuesday night at his home on corner of Fourth and West streets, aged 80 years, Mr. Stiff was born in England and came to America forty years ago .and settled at Bloomsburg, where he has resided ever since. He was a miner, and for some years had charge of the iron mines of McKelvy, Neal & Co. He was an earnest member of the M. E. Church, and a strong believer in total absti nence. Four children survive him, Mrs. Cooke of this town, Mrs Lake of South Dakota, Wesley of Wyoming, and Moses of Flushing, Ohio. Mrs. Stiff died about five years ago. The funeral services will be held to-day, Friday, at 2 o'clock. An artificial eye greatly improves the appearance of a person who has lost a natural eye. Those inserted by Dr. Brown look natural while the cost is within the reach of all. UNION REVIVAL MELTINGS. At a meeting of the executive Com mittee, held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, Rev. I M. Patterson presiding, it was decided to ho'd Union Services in the several churches next week as follow ing : Monday evening in the Evangel ical church, Wednesday evening in the Baptist church, Thursday evening in the Lutheran church, and Friday even ing in the Presbyterian church. On the following Tuesday evening, Feb 2 the union meeting will be continued in the Opera House, conducted by the evangelist Rev. Arthur J Smith. The singing which promises to be a very interesting and helpful feature of the meetings will be provided by Mr. and Mrs. Smith and by a large union choir under the direction of Prof. Niles. It was also resolved to request the merchants to close their places of busi ness at half past seven o'clock during these meetings, and a committee was appointed to call upon them with a petition to this effect. A noonday prayer-meeting for men only, for the purpy.ic of asking God's blessing on ihe revival services, will be hehl in Y. M. C. A. halt each day, be ginning at twelve o'clock and continu ing twenty minutes. It is requested that all christian people, wherever they may be will observe this hour for pray er for this object. Sleeping for Two Years- A I'Ol.E who is I'L'ZZLIN'C; the physi cians OK WII.KES HAJtRE. Wii.kks-Bakre, January iS. The local physicians are studying a case which is a physiological puzzle. About two years ago John Lcvichi, a young Pole, was injured in the mines. He was carried in a comatose state to the hospital. There nothing could be done for him. The patient suffer ed no pain apparently, bat he insisted on sleeping thirteen hours out of the twenty-four. The hours he was awake he would devote to feasting. When his appetite was satisfied he would go off into a deep slumber at once, which would last for fourteen hours more. The doctors were puz zled and removed him to the Poor House. A number of physicians examined the patient to-day. They will make a report to the medical society. Super intendent Eschelberg, of the poor farm, says it is certainly a remarkable case He has tried all means to keep the man awake without success. One time the Polander was put astride a horse. Another horseman held him in the saddle. The horse was made run, gallop and jump, but the Poland er would not wake up. Tha Muncy Bank. The directors of the First National Bank of Muncy seem to have hit upon a plan of closing their mouths about as tight as the bank has been closed since the examiner took change a week ago. Although the directors were in session almost all of Saturday they refused to give out any informa tion regarding the business transacted. The rumor that the bank had been reorganized on Saturday seems to have been without foundation. The stitement of the examiner, it is assert ed, will show there is a shortage of $20,800. The amount has not been paid into the bank by the Directors. Mr. Green continues to talk confidently of a vindication, and says he will explain some transactions at his hearing be fore Commissioner Bently that will surprise the people and make food for more gossip than his arrest has. Williamsjyort Republican. Will be With Us- On Monday we will gladly welcome "O'Flynn in Mexico," and it will be some satisfaction to all of us to know that this is an entertainment that comes with the strongest endorsement of press and prominent public men, that originality will shin? supreme, that the performers have been selected from the best material, and that the play from a dramatic, comic and sing ing standpoint has been commended by the ablest critics ' of the world. Nothing in the line of stage dressing and handsome decoration has ever been attempted, that is on a par with this beautiful production, and we can only say that those who neglect to avail themselves of the opportunity to witness this marvelous performance will miss the greatest treat of the sea son. A faded or gray beard may be color ed a beautiful anil natural brown or black, at will, by using Buckingham's Dye for the Whiskers.

Adults 25 cents, children 15 cents. "O'Flynn in Mexico" was given in the Opera House a few weeks ago, and it was one of the best shows that has been given here for a long time. This company will return next Mon day night, and they are deserving of a fall house. On Tuesday afternoon snow fell to the depth of several inches, and it grew much colder. Good sleighing is the result, and numerous parties have taken advantage of it. A large load drove to Daniel McHenry's at Stillwater on Wednesday night, and had a very enjoyable time.
