Mr. Jacob Dice, of Cameron, who ia j employed by the P. & E. R.R. as pass enger and freight agent, was agreeably surprised on Wednesday evening, June 22—that being his fifty-fourth birthday. After prayer meeting about forty of his friends gathered at the M. E. parsonage and from there went in a body to the home of Mr. Dice. He was about ready to retire for the night when he heard a rap at the door, and upon opening it was overcome with surprise—could not say anything for a moment, then burst out in laughter and invited them in. As the room was scarcely able to hold I them standing up, he thought it useless | to ask them to be seated, and looking over the crowd, finally said: "Well, what does this mean?" The pastor, Rev. E. E. Mulliner, was present by this time and made an explanation, first giv ing a short history of Mr. Dice's life, and ending his speech by telling of his usefulness in the M. E. Church, of which he is a member. The members of the church greatly appreciate his labors j among them, and to show their appre | ciation they gave him a handsome | rocking chair, which his pastor then | presented to him. After receiving the J chair as a token of friendship, he thanked them and made a few other remarks, after which they all joined in singing "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." The large parlor was then opened and everybody was seated and a good social time ensued. Ice cream, strawberries and cake wore then served. After wishing Mr. and Mrs. Dice a long and happy life they retired to their several homes, feeling that it was more blessed to give than to receive. In riemoriam. The death of MRS. KATHERINE BEERS has taken from our midst one whose place will bo hard to fill. She was an earnest, faithful christian and was always ready to do the duty near est her. Nineteen years ago she, with the assistance of two other ladies, organized the first Sabbath School in | Emporia. Since the death of her husband, two years ago, she has been ] more zealous than before in her desire to interest and instruct her large class in Sunday School. It seemed she had a premonition that her time here was short and that she "must work while it was yet day." The funeral services were held in the Emporia church, June sth, Rev. Win. Stones, of Palatka, officiating. He delivered his sermon from the text: "There remainetli therefore a rest for the people of God." He was assisted by Rev. M. P. Blitch, pastor of the Baptist church, of which Mrs. Beers was a member. The large crowd that gathered to take one last, sad look at the peceful dead, the abundance and beauty of the floral decorations, and the trembling tones as the choir sang the beautiful hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light," told eloqueutly of the love and respect all felt for the quiet sleeper. Last Sunday a committee was ap pointed to draft resolutions on the demise of Mrs. Beers and the following were adopted: WHEREAS, Clod in his infinite wisdom, WHICH none may question, has called home our beloved friend, Mrs. Katherine Beers, and WHEREAS, In her death her sons have lost a devoted, loving, christian mother, her neighbors a kind sympathetic friend, and the Church and Sabbath School a faithful christian worker, therefore be it Resolved , That her children have sustained a loss that is irreparable; her neighbors have lost a friend whose noble life presents an example worthy of imitation. Resolved , That while we realize that her death lias caused in the hearts of those she loved best, a grief too deep and sacred for our words to reach, yet we would mingle our tears with theirs and in our sympathy would say: "With patient heart, thy course of duty run; ! God nothing does, or suffers to be done But thou wouldst do thyself, if though couldst see ! The end of all He does, as well as He. MRS. MAHY A. MINER, MRS. TINA C. DKUDY, MRS. ELLA 11. BULLOCK.

The PRESS has re frained from mentioning the circum stances surrounding the unfortunate complication, hoping that for the good of our town the troubles might be ad justed and the industry enabled to re sume operations. Last Thursday, upon application made to Hon. C. A. Mayer, at Lock Haven, William Howard, of Williamsport, was appointed Receiver and entered upon the discharge of his duties on Monday, after filing a bond in sum of §IO,OOO. Mr. Howard ap pointed B. W. Green, Esq., attorney for the Receiver, who will have charge of the business. We are informed the factory will resume operations within ten days. It is earnestly hoped by all well-wishers of Emporium that Ih? affairs of this corporation may be placed upon a solid financial footing, and with increased facilities continue to give employment to a large force of men. The company have a very large stock of furniture in their store-rooms. Emporium vs Port Allegany, Emporium and Port Allegany teams crossed bats on the home grounds yesterday, which resulted in defeat for the visitors, by the neat score of 0 to 4. It was a hotly contested and highly interesting game from begin ning to end and clearly demonstrated that our boys know the game, and by hard practice and strict adherance to the principles of the game we will have a team that will be invincible. The individual work was fine and it cannot be said that any man on the team played poor ball. Let the team get together and practice three or four nights a week and develop its latent energy, and an appreciative people will applaud your efforts, and to the people we would say encourge the boys by your support. McFadden's pitching was superb, while Mumford caught in his usual efficient form. In the seventh three ; pitched balls retired the visitors, i Ganev's one hand catch was a grand : stand play only witnessed when a star of the first magnitude is in the field.

Miss Edna Mitchell has returned from an extended visit with friends in Williamsport. Mrs. Carroll and two daughters of Charlestown, W. Va., are visiting W. R. Chatham and family. L. W.

Miss Jennie Dunbar and Miss Molly Pitcher, of Canton, are visiting at the home of the Messrs. Gleason. J Augustus Jones's vaudeville show gave two performances here Wednes day, both of which were fairly well at tended. Dan Foust, the genial conductor on A. V. R. R., accommodation, has re sumed duty after e/vjoying a week's vacation. The fantastic parade on the Fourth will be one of the features of the cele bration. Some of the boys are working up surprises in the way of outfits. Rev. J. A. Anderson, of Williams port, formerly pastor of this parish, spent several days with friends here, returning to Williamsport Monday, Mrs. F. E. Richardson and daughters Ruth and Bessie, went to Lock Haven on Wednesday, to attend the com mencement exercises at the Normal School of which their daughter and sister, Miss Ada Richardson, is a graduate. J. A. Mutthersbough and family have taken up residence in their new home on Driftwood avenue, and G. W. Huntley, Esq., who purchased the house vacated by the former, is mov ing into his purchase. Mr. Huntley and his estimable wife will be welcome additions to our residents. "Bud" Mutthersbough had a "spill" at the P. & E. depot on Saturday, while hauling goods for \V. H. Mitchell. The king-bolt broke, letting the rear portion of the wagon drop, which frightened the horse and it ran away. The horse was caught near the opera house, be fore any damage had been sustained. The local candidates for Associate Judge, S. D. McCoole and John Mc- Donald, are hustling around among their friends working up their politi cal strength to the winning point. Both gentlemen are carrying on a clean friendly campaign and as both are popular it will be a hard matter to pick the winner. As to Public Opinion. Unhappily there is a prevalent and : growing propensity, supposedly asso j ciated with the cynicism of the age, to ' suspect evil of one's fellow man, in- I stead of practicing that broad charity j which is still preached in the churches, ; but too often falls upon ears that are deaf to its meaning. How many a j sensitive soul has been grievously wounded by harsh unmerited criticism! | The purity of the lily has no security | against the blighting breath of scandal, j which, beginning with a word prompt i ed by an ill-balanced mind and an un ' clean heart, has been taken up by a < thoughtless rabble and swelled into a ! wave of opprobrium to wreck a beau ; tiful and blameless life. Too strongly, too earnestly, the plea cannot be made j that public sentiment shall be careful 'to be just; the fact enforced that com , mon rumor has the established charac ! ter of a common liar.—Ex.
