Don Herring, son of former State Senator Grant Herring, now of Sunbury, who is a student at Ox ford University, England, was one of the winning team in the Oxford Rugby match played on last Satur day.

As Arthur King was talking to James Cochrane, while crossing a bridge at Pittsburg, he noticed that his companion had disappeared suddenly. His body was found later in the river.

Harry Magee, the eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James M'igee, had a narrow escape from drown ing in the creek near the Red Rock bridge last Friday. He tried to cross the stream on the thin ice, and broke through near the middle. Several boys who were skating near the Feruville bank saw his predica ment, and immediately threw a rope to him, which he was unable to grasp. Sticks were also passed to him in vain. After he had gone down tor the secoud time, Harold Kline pushed a boat over the ice until it broke through, and rowed to the place where young Magee came up for the last time, grasped him, and pulled him into the boat He was carried to the house of Kenneth Furmau where he was cared for until he could be taken to his home.

Well, the gas bag would probably flap down into the yard, and raise Cain with the shrubs; the motor would very likely knock thunder out of the chimney, and lip a hole in the roof; the overturned pack would stuff up the flues with doll babies and wood en soldiers so that the chances are fie house would burn down, and if it didn't, the best bedroom would most likely have to be turned over to Saint Nick in which to nurse him until his recovery from the smash up; and still more might I happen.

Will Visit Ills Old Home. A wide circle of friends ard old acqmintanccs are looking forward with pleasurable anticipation to the visit of tiieir former townsman, Mr. Charles J. McHenry, of Baltimore who has achieved signal success in the piano field, having been assc-1 ciate.1 with the old established ' piano firm of Win. Kuahe cc Co. for a number of years. j Whi'.e it is in answer to the invi- j tation of the Christmas bells that j he is coming back to the home of 1 his boyhood to enjoy the warmth j of the old home fireside with his ; own people, it is a mittercf con jecture which sounds the sweeter to Mr. McIIenry's tars-the music of the Christinas bells or the music j of the Knabe piano. j At any rate, it is a well known fact that Mr. McIIenrv is never happier than when in the piano atmosphere or when exploiting the merits of the "only piano; hence the announcement thai he will have ample time during his visit to look after the piano needs of Blooms burg is not surprising and will be greatly weL'oined by the musical contingent. To those contemplat ing purchasing or exchanging their present pianos, Mr. McHenry has been authorized by his firm to offer unusual op;ortutiities to secure slightly used Kuabe Pianos at greatly reduced prices and on spe cial terms. Communications ad dressed to 418 Jefferson St. before the 2SU1 will receive his prompt at tention. Those to whom Mr. McHenry has sold Knabe Pianos in his home town include: The Philologian Lit erary Society at the Normal School, Mr. Will Housed, whose daughter is a graduate of the New England Conservatory ot Music; Mr. W. L. Mcl'enry, and Miss Geisinger, teacher of Music. Christmas for the Needy Poor of Bloomsburg.
