train going in another direction. The
wheels of one car passed over hint .crush
ing out bis life, but leaving no marks of
bis sad ending other than a fractured left
arm at the elbow, fie had been in con
atant employ of the company in one
capacity or another for twenty-one con
secutive jnars, and was a valued employee,
with many friends among his co-laborers.

Monday wo entered December, the last
month of the year. Although the 12th
month it retains its old Roman name of the
10th. It is tbe dullest and dreariest of thn
twelye. In November we feel, and con
sole ourselves by thinking, that there Is, or
may be, worse weather to come; in Janu
ary we think that tbe worst Is over, yet
even In December there are some bright
spots. In this month we have Christmas
with all Its mirth, and during the few
short, bright, crisp days that December
brings forth tbe healthy pedestriau enjoys
an amount of exhilaration which be Is a
stranger to in warmer days, and on his re
turn he will exclaim, "FIno bracing

Sunday last was what Is commonly
termed Advent Sunday, the beginning of
the ecclesiastical year. The four weeks
preceding Chtistmas are termed Advent,
so-called because, they herald tho approach
or anival oMhe infant Saviour, The first
Sunday In said period Is called Advent
Sunday, and the others second, third and
fourth Sundays in Advent. The ecclesiasti
cal year Is held to commence with Advent,
The season has been observed since the
4th century in honor of tbe approach of
Christ's nativity. In the Greek Church
the Advent season begins on St, Martin's
Day, (Nov. 11th)- With the view of dir.
ectlng tho thoughts of Christ as Saviour,
and to His second coming as Judge, spccjal
collects are prescribed for tbe four Sundays
In Advent. At one time Advent was ob
served almost as strictly as Lent, but now
fasting is confined to the week in which
Ember Day (Dec. 12th) occurs, and often
to that day alone. In England and - some
parts of the European continent marriages
cannot be preformed during Advent ex
cept by special license.
Death Lovl Bartholomew.
Ano'.her exposition of tbe fact "that in
the midst of life we are in death,'' is
iilucidated in tbe.sudden demioe of our old
townsman, Mr. Levi Bartholomew, who
died at four o'clock Monday afternoon
after an Illness of only two da s. Although
in an advanced age he retained possession
of all his faculties until death closed bis
eyes in that last long sleep which knows no
waking. Interment took plaee Thursday
afternoon from the Reformed church
Rev. J, Alyin Reber officiating.
Levi Bartholomew was a son of Jonas
and Elizabeth Bartholomew, well to-do
farm people, of Allen township, In North
ampton county, He was born on the 18th
day of August, In tho year 1619, and when
a boy of ten years came to tbls neighbor
hood with bis parents who for a long time
lived at Jamestown. In early life he fol
lowed tbe canal as an occupation, being lu
tbe employ of the late Asa Packer. A few
years later when operations werecommencd
on tbe building of the Lehigh Valley tall
road be entered tbo employ of that com
pany and remained with them continuous
ly since during later years In the capacity
of track walker between Leblghton and
Packerton, His duties were very Ugh
tbe company retaining him in service for
past faithfulness to their Interests. About
a half century ago Mr. Bartholomew was
united In marriage to Phoebe, daughter of
the lateStephen Davenport, of tblscounty,-
woo was interested in me manufacture of
iron, and well-known In the Lehigh Valley.
Mrs. Bartholomew died in 1831. Thirteen'
children were boin to them, of whom nine
survive: Mrs. Frank Elsenhoner. Mrs.
Mary Yenser Mrs. Joseph Filtzlnger, A.
