Armstrong Secretary. Forty names were enrolled as members. Twenty-five additional radiators are being placed in the Exchange Hotel. Since Mr. Snyder has purchased this property he has made many and valu able improvements. There are quite a number of wood en pavements in different parts of the town that are in a dangerous condi tion and should receive the immediate attention of the proper authorities. Now that the time has arrived for putting up stoves the flues and pipe should be particularly examined as many fires originate from defective ones.

They arc trying to see how little they can do and yet get into heaven. A fine epitaph can never atone for neg lected opportunities. Caterpillars' nests should be burned off the trees j an easy way to do this is to fasten a wire six inches long to the end of a long pole ; then run it into a corn-cob soaked in kerosene apply a match. When the flame weakens, apply more oil. Some people' persist in walking on Market street, particularly on Satur day night, in dress parade array of four abreast. To pass them one must either watch his chances, for an open ing or walk in the street. Teople so chummy should take the street. The flour and feed mill of Adams and Ilippcnsteel, at Nescopeck was totally destroyed by fire last week. The building was comparatively a new one and contained all modern ma chinery.

Mr. Alexander Sanderson, Choud rant, La., says : "Having used Ayer's Pills at least twenty-five years, I would say that for all diseases of the bowels, stomach, and liver, which can be remedied by pills, these are always effective. They keep the system in perfect order." Some people make their reputation by the smartness of their talk ; some by strictly attending to their own busi ness j some by attending to every body's business but their own, and some by not having any business to attend to. So you see that there is a vast difference in the makeup of human kind. Boyd Evans, John R. Woods, Benj. Vanatta and W. R.

The loss is $500 in excess or the insurance. The Bible Convention held at Mill ville on last Thursday afternoon and evening was the hrst for some time as the Bible Society of Columbia county has not been for some time in a very active condition. The reports from the depositories scattered throughout the county, the interest taken in the exercises of the convention and the stirring speeches of the evening all promise better things in the future for this most necessary work, the getting of Uod s Word into the hands and homes of the people. The afternoon session was devoted to business, but that in the evening was taken up with addresses and music. Rev. Patterson of Blooms burg delivered a most excellent dis course on the " Bible as the Word of God." It was both educative and en couraging, tshort talks were then given by Miss Eves of Millville, on " Progress, by Rev. 1 ompkins of Berwick, on "The Bible in the Home" and by Rev. Myers of Catawissa, on "The Peoples' Book." Thus closed a convention which ought to inspire not only the town where it convened but all the county to more prayerful and earnest efforts for the promotion of this great cause, for the Bible, read and obeyed, is first for the salvation of the soul and then for the over throw of all evil and the establishment of rights and truths on its ruins.
