Phillips, the uptown photo artist, was seut for Friday evening to photograph by flashlight, at the home of the Misses Marga ret and Elizabeth Keller, on East street, a crowd of young people, who had assembled to participate in what is termed a poverty party. The costumes worn fully justified the designation. It was an event long to be remembered by those present. An humble boy with a shining pail went singing down the leafy vale to where a cow with a brindle tail on the Alf ha did regale. A hum ble bee did gaily sail over the soft and shadowy vale to where the boy with the shining pail was milking the cow with the brindle tail. The bee lit on the cow's left ear, hee heels flew through the attnospherr and through the leaves of a poplar tree, the boy soared into e'.ernity. Cake Walk.

Opera House Saturday, March 10. William Eyer and Miss Hannah Herbine.two of Catawissa's popular young residents, were united in wedlock last week, at the home of Edward Kostenbauder, the bride's uncle. The groom several years ago started an apprenticeship at the printing trade in the Republican of fice, this town, but the tediousness and monotony of typesetting was too much for him and he quit the busi ness. He has since been engaged superintending the work on his father's farm in Montour township. "Come back here, or I'll shoot you," exclaimed a boy of five years, as his little brother three years his junior was leaving him, while the two were at play on Friday at their home in Hemlock township. The youngster paid no attention to the warning, whereupon the other picked up a gun, near at hand, and fired. The gun was loaded with fine shot, and the entire contents entered the boy's neck. A physi cian was at once sent for, and the greater part of the globular masses removed. He will recover. They are sons of Stinson Brobst. Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don't Enow It.

The water carrier is an import ant functionary in some of the ori ental countries, where they do a thriving business. They carry water around to their customers in vessels suspended on a pole over their shoulder. We have quite a num ber of people in town who would make a hit if they would emigrate to one of those tropical countries and engage in the business. They would have a big advantage over the native crfrrier.because of their ability to carry water on both shoulders Beside this the warm climate would acclimate them for their place of habitation in the other world.

The Union Church ot Orangeville- This church was erected some 60 years ago, and with its external improvements is quite substantial in its structure and respectable in its outer appearance. But being built primarily for public worship, it lacks the necessary modern ac commodations for the Sunday school, Christian Endeavor and church socials. It being very spa cious, it is difficult to warm it suf ficiently in very cold weather. The pulpit is also located at the entrance of the church, and those coming in are obliged to face the audience, which is very objectionable. For years it has been felt that something should be done to mod ernize the interior of this church, but as the floor slopes eighteen inches and the entrance is through the base of the tower, it seemed al most impossible to make the needed improvements. But a plan has now been suggested, which is thought practicable, and by which these dif liculties will be overcome, and the church made modern and conveni ent in its interior. Among the changes contemplated in this plan are the following : 1, The removal of the partitions between the vestibule aud the stair way, the library room and the audi torium, leaving the two tower posts stand, but enclosing them with Through the courtesy of J. C. Brown we were presented with a copy of " A History of the Meth odist Kpiscopal Church in Blooms burg," written by I. W. Hartman. It contains pictures of the hand some new stone church, and also of the building erected in 1837, and the brick church, built in 1857. Another plate shows the building committee of the stone church, consisting of J. C. Brown, W. R. Kbcher, O. W. Corell, C. C. Pea cock and L. N. Moyer. Other cuts show the tabernacle, used from March, 1896, to September, 1897 ; the parsonage, corner of Fifth and Market streets; the "scrubbing brigade;" B. W. Jury, contractor and builder; and Rev. Dr. Conner, under whose pastorate so great a work has been accomplished. The price of the book is fifty cents, and it is for sale at the following stores: G. W. Hess, I. W. Hartman & Son, J. W. Moyer, G. W. Corell and C. C. Sharpless. Proceeds are for the benefit of the church and it ; should meet with a large sale.
