THE REUNION

Hall, Angust 16,
Our brethren of the Reformed church
of Centre and Union counties, will cel-
ebrate the centennial of the first in-
troduction of that church in America
in 1703, at Centre Hall, on the 16th of
this month.
We offer them a hearty welcome to
our town which is so well suited, be-
ing centrally located, for so interest-
ing a gathering. We can bespeak for
them a hearty reception by the peo-
| ple of all denominations in this town,

| Christian fellowship as a branch in
| the great commonwealth that has done
| a great work in bringing light when
there was darkness and planting cor-

Beer Started the Flow rm
A wonderful change has been work-
ed on a Renovo cow. The News says
from reports at hand, itis learned that
afew days ago a keg of Joseph W.
Smith's best beer fell from from a wa
gon. The keg was broken, and a cow
that hadn’t given a pint of milk in
three months drank nearly all the beer,
From that hour the cow's habits
changed, and ever since it has given
twenty quarts of milk every day. This
is not a temperance lecture, but we are
not responsible for the effects Joe
Smith's beer had on a tardy cow.
