Harvest Home Services. Services commemorative of tho re cently garnered harvest were very gen erally observed In the Reformed churches. Those held In the Lehlgh ton church were very Interesting. The altar and pulpit were tastefully adorned with fruit and grain, while fragrant flowers made cheerful the hall-way to the church. The fruit was of all kinds: the mellow pear, the rosy-cheeked apple, the sweet plum, all In ripened perfection; while the luscious grape hung in tempt ing flusters' amidst the profusion of beautiful fruit. A most luterestlng and significant ob ject in this array of good and useful things was the mtnature wheat field. Placed near the base of tho pulpit, be neath a delightful arch of fruit, lis crop of grain was half gleaned. Thestubles. like grave stones, reminded us that all must die, and that others have gone be fore. The shock of sheaves stand ready to be gathered home; the grain still standing with bowed heads after a life well spent and useful, piously await their time for death, which lies signifi cantly near in the sickle at its feet. This day impresses us with the reward of honest toil and christian lives. This occasion reminds us of the blessings we enjoy. Our lives brightened by fragrant flowers, merry birds, toothsome fruit and garnered grain.

The Philadelphia Accord' financial report Wednesday morning contained the following in relation to Lehigh Valley R. R. stocks on Tuesday: Shortly beforo 2 o'clock It was an nounced that the Lehigh Valley Rail road Company had declared a quarterly dividend of 1 percent., Instead of 1 1-2 percent., as had been expected. Al though Lehigh Valley Is held as an eminently sate Investment security, yet the sudden decrease of dividend from the rate of 6 per cent, per annum to 4 per cent, per annum Induced an Im mediate effort to sell by thosa stock holders who heard the to. them unfor tunate nows. This caused a rapid drop fron G7 1-4 to 04 1-2, demoralized the remalner of the coalers, and gave a metaphorical black eye to the entire speculative list. There was an effort to rally the Grangers afterward, but the rally lacked snap, and It Is feared that a dull spell may last for some, during which the bears will hold the most advantageous position. The close was dull, and exhibited no feature upon which a guess concerning the future could be made. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is the only one of the anthracite corpor ations that did not suspend dividends In the hard times of 1S73-1879, and its conservative management has always Inspired great confidence. But the break in the rate of dividend from 8 per cent. per annum last January to 4 per cent. per annum at the present time i3 a sad blow to the Income of those whose capi tal is tied up In the concern, and it shows how bad the coal trade must be. The universal remark was that the Lackawanna Company mu:t mako a cut in Its rate of dividend at once. Another Insane Asylum Scandal. A Pottsvllle despatch of tho 8th inst., gives the following: A scandalous dis covery was mado at the .Schuylkill County Insane Asylum, connected with the Almshouse, Tuesday by the com mittee of the Board of Public Charities. The committee was composed of ex- Judge Donaldson, J. A. M. Passmore and Charles II. Woltjcn, a well-known financier. They found among the In mates of the asylum two young women Mary Jane Donegan and Maria Maley both of the milder forms of mental unsoundness, who are cnclcntc, and who at lucid intervals charge their pres ent condition upon JamesMcehan, whose present whereabouts are not known. Until last April he was an employe of the asylum. The facts hero stated were known to Dr. Edward Iluntslnuer, phy slclan In charge of the Insano depart ment, for months, but were never re- ported to any officials by him. He says he was informed by the President of the Board of Poor Directors that William Brennan, the keeper of the Insane, had sole charge of that Institution, and. that Brennan knew all the facts. President McGrath denies the charge. Twenty-Seven Hales Boasted. The stable at Buck Mountain Colliery near Ashland was destroyed by fire on Saturday night at 12 o'clock. Twenty- seven mules in the stable at tlic time were roasted to death. Several cars of hay, about thirty sets of harness and other property were consumed, entailing a loss of about $10,000, part of which Is covered by Insurance. The fire drew a a large crowd of spectators, but they were unable to do anything, as the whole building was one mass of flames In a few minutes. The groans of the mules and the cracking of the flames could be heard a quarter of a mile away, Tne fire is supposed to be of an incen diary origin. It is related that once when Mme. Patti returned from her dally drive she was exceedingly thirsty, and asked M. Nicolini to request somo one of their long retlnne to bring her a glass of water. "What I" shrieked Nicolini, in high B flat, "Ma mignonne you know that you are going to sing to-morrow night, and that water will chill your blood. Ob, no; I forbid any water." "Then give me a taste of wine," plead ed thirsty Pattl. "Wine?" roared Nicolini In his highest C. "Ma mlg nonne, yon are going to sing to-morrow night, and yon know that wine will heat your blood. No, I cannot permit wine." "Please, can't I have some thing wet?" begged Pattl, as her palate clicked dryly in her throat. Nicolini pondered long and deeply, and at leugth, with bis own hands, carefully pre Dared , for the great singer a soothing draught of i iiitsoueu magneaia. a prima donna.. So much forWiug A BrUhterPrciptot for Bnilneii. , A Tevlew of the business prospect throughout Pennsylvania prepared by tho Philadelphia Prttt, and which appeared lu that paper last Monday, -I I j .. , I , . i. . . . . . t I viearij iijuiuaics mat wo aru cubenug upon an era of prosperity. Wo give the following, as being more Immediately Items of Interest to our readers: Weatiiehlt Business prospects are brighter than for the past six months. Save in the moulding department, the large works of tho Lehigh Valley Rail road Company are working full time. Business men pronounce the retail trade as very healthy and steadily growing. SnxiTAif do Alt There Is little chango In the condition of labor and trade. The miners started In this month on full time, and If It will last throughout the year It will have a health? effect unou business. hut many business men and others think there will be a suspension of coal mining ucjoro uau me luomu is past, iiiero is little else than mining coal here, and all business depends on tho coal trade. Tho half and three quarter time this Summer has hurt our business men and they have little confidence Moat of them predict that the sheriff will haVo plenty of busi ness suortiy. Hazletox -Tho business outlook Is decidedly encouraging. Trade has In creased considerably within two mouths and retail dealers are lookinc honefullv to tho Fall. An extensive dealer, whole sale ana retail, in groceries aud pro visions says his trade during the month of August was the largest he ever had. Tho head of th leading dry goods firm says that In the month of July last his business showed an Increase of $2000 over the same month last year.and there was a corresponding Increase during August. The several manufacturing In dustries arc all working full time and report an Increase of orders. The coal trade Is quiet and most of the collieries are working little more than half-time, although there seems to be an Inclina tion to buy. The coal trade hero rules all other branches, and It Is this hopeful outlook that gives tone to retail trade. WlLKESBAitiiE Manufactures are flourishing. The machine shops, such as the Vulcan Iron Works, the Dickson Manufacturing Company's woiks, tho Wyoming Manufacturing Company and the Plttston Engine and Machine Com pany, aro working on full time with plenty orders ahead. As they depend chiefly on the coal trade, so long as the collieries arc running there is always work In hand. Bethlehem Every department of the Bethlehem Iron Company's works Is running, and there aro no such labor troubles as there were a year ago. Shirt works, flouring mills and knitting mills are busy with dally Increasing orders, and a silk ribbon factory, with eleven looms and thirty hands was started on Monday last, with a prospect of Increas ing looms and hands. Retail-dealers expect au Improved trade because of the condition of manufactures. Many men will bo employed until the end of tITe vear on the new reservoir and water works. Eabtox Iron operators are hopeful and all the mills are working satisfactor ily. The furnaces are excepted. The reopening of the nall'factory at Oxford, N. J has added to the good feeling and there has just been an Increase of 10 per cent in wages at the Phllllpshure Stove Company's works across the Delaware. Stewart & Co., Iron workers, of North Easton, have recently refitted their long Idle mills. Various other concerns, In cluding a newly started orean factory. are doing well. Retail trade Is growing and wholesale dealers say "Good," "Im proving," "Encouraging." The Anthracite Coal Trade. "The anthraclto coal trade Is approach ing .the time when the fall business usu ally becomes quiet and active. If the combination, which was formed for the purposo ot regulating the production of anthracite to meet the requirements of the market, "not to fix prices," would take some decided stand and announce their purpose, or else let each company go a; It pleases In mining and market ing Its own produet, dealers and con sumers could act accordingly. In the present mixed condition of anthracite a flairs, however, which Is chlefl) owing to the Indecision of the several companies, the trade U much unsettled, and pur chasers hold off, declining to book their orders, fearing a break In prices may occur. The lesson taught the anthra cite interests last year, which was large ly owing to the same cause, seems to have been lost, and the object for which the combination on tho allotment plan was formed certainly has not been fully attained. The producing and carrying companies have thus far held together, but the tension of discord Is now drawn very tightly, and unless there Is some wisdom shown, and that, too, at an early date, the result will uot prove beneficial to the producers if it should to the middlemen and domestic con sumers, It being doubtful if the latter would obtain much benefit in any event. We are informed that the production in August was perhaps about 3,000,000 tons, and if this estimate proves correct the actual output fell short of the quota agreed upon by a quarter of a million tons.
