AN INTERESTING MEETING.
One of the most interesting meet
ings which were ever held in the
Young Men's Christian Association
rooms was conducted last Sunday
afternoon by Rev. D. N. Kiikby, Rector
of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. He
took as the basis of his remarks the
4th chapter of St. John, his theme
being First Principles. His address
was interesting, instructive and logical,
and from begining to end, he held
the attention of the latge congrega
tion of men present. Those who
failed to attend missed a treat which
is seldom offered in this Town. Mr.
Kirkby is peculiarly adapted for
speaking to men, and the men are
always glad to hear him.
Pastors' Union-
At the meeting of the Pastors'
Union, last week the following resolu
tion was adopted :
" That the undertakers of this town
be requested, when making arrange
ments for funerals, to consult with
the officiating clergyman before fixing
the time."
It frequently occurs when this 13
not done, that great inconvenience
results, which could readily be avoid
ed. Revs. Patterson and Brandt were
appointed a committee to formulate a
call for the re organization of the
Columbia County Bible Society.
Beating His Way Across the Continent.
George Leonard, who is under a
wager of $5,000 to beat his way from
San Francisco to Boston in thirty
days and make $500 while on his
way, reached Hariisburg late .Sunday
night. He left San Francisco the
day after Christmas and expects to
reach the end of his journey before
the close of the present week. Leon
ard has already raised $450 and will
not be in a hurry to get to Boston
until he raises $50 more.
The interior arrangement of the
second floor of the Post Office building
owned by Paul E. Wirt is being
altered. After the first of April the
Telephone Company will occupy the
two rear rooms, and the one now
occupied by them will be used by
A. L. Fritz Esq. as a consultation
room.
Mrs. Alva E. Vanderbilt, divorced
wife of W. K. Vanderbilt, was married
last Saturday at 10 A. M., to Oliver
Hazard Terry Belmont in the main
drawing room of Mrs. Vanderbilt's
house in New York City, by Mayor
.Strong. The ceremony was to have
been performed by Bishop Potter of
the Episcopal church, but owing to a
church canon this was impossible
because the parties had each secured
divorces from their former husband
and wife.
The communion services at tVi
Lutheran Church last Sunday were
largely attencien. The pastor was as
sisted by A. W. Hontz and eight per
sons were received into church fellow
ship.

A. L. Fritz Esq., William Bocart,
William Mather and Isaac Dewitt,
auditors of the Bloom Poor District

demanding the resignation of Presi
dent Judge Cyrus L. Pershing, .who,
it is said has been physically incapac
itated for service on the bench for the
past three years, yet has been draw
ing his salary of $4,000 annually.
