--sons who passed her house on Howard

—Centre Hail was the scene of a light

mo. Tho fire was caused by a defective

guished without doing much injury.
—On Saturday night, the 22d of March,
a general variety entertainment was given
by the home talent of Millheim in the ele
gant new hall at that place. From the
JournaVt encomiums, wc judge that it was
in every way a brilliant success. It is but
another attestation to the fact that the peo
ple of our county need not depend on any
outsido talent for their entertainment.
—A new floor has been laid in the room
formerly occupied by Dr. Kirk as a drug
store and to be used in the future by our

—Another comet is Approaching the
earth, but will not come near enough to be
of any benefit to the ordinary observer, a*
iu cloeeet proximity to our planetary globe
will bo about seventy-five millions of
miles, on the 10th of this month, and then
will require the aid of an opera glass to
discern It. It Is a comet, it seems, that
was first noticed only thirty-three years
ago, and since that time has approached
the earth regularly every seven years. No
fear need be apprehended, from It, how
ever ; and If we behave ourselves real well,
there Is no danger of it touching our pleas
ant little earthly home even with tho tip
of its long tail.
—lt 1* sometime* unpleasant that tholr
it tucb a tiling a* H moon in existence, and
wo fi ol turo tiuit if hII tlio truuble the moon
would cause liiul boon H|)|iri!h<>ndod it
would not havo boon created to " rulo the
night." The town council evidently bo-
liuvu that the mission of the moon mutt
not bo overlooked, and it conduct their ac
tion* ut night at rigorously at tho veriest
tyrant that over ruled In tho Roman Em
pire. For instance, if tho almanac an
nounces tho fact that a littlo rim of silver
light from the " new " moon will com
mence illuminating the heavens on a cer
tain night, just to surely goes the mandate
forth that on that night tho street lamp*
mutt not lie lit. It would be a horrid
crime, you know, for any artificial light to
take the place of the " fairy moon-light."
If such should be tho case, fair Luna might
lake offense anil depart and never again
cheer u* with her delightful rays. For in
stance, the usual almanac that hung in the
council rooms on Wednesday night of last
week must have indicated "new" moon,
and consequently great haste was made to
glvo the order " no street lamps must be
lit." Now, tiiu most respectable portion
of tbe inhabitants of this town are accus
tomed lo attend prayer meeting on that
night—in this instance they paid dearly for
tho privilege. On emerging from tho
church, the moon had long since vanished,
nastreet lamps were in sight, and dark
ness reigned supreme. In addition, tho
rain was coming down with blinding fury,
and pors'ins had to make their way home
a* best they could. Fortunately, we have
not beard of any one who was lost bo
yon 1 recovery, although several timet per
sons wandered a grout distance out of the
way, and many case# of miraculous e
! e#caj>* from dr iwning are reported. Ily
encouraging sbouls and help from those ac
| customed to "way* that are dark and
, trick* that are vain, everyone at last
i succeeded in reaching their resjicctive
j homes alive.
—The Philiptburg Journal gives the
| following account of an accident that bap-
I pened to Mr. James M. Kosemteel, who
i* connected with the extensive tannery at
that place : "On Monday afternoon, as
Mr. James M R-sciisleel, was loading a
car load of leather at tho tanm-ry, he met
with an accident, that proved comparative
ly slight in the injuries he received. Hav
ing twentv-flve side* of leather on a hand
truck he asi pushing on an elevated trestle
from the dry house to the railroad traik,
tho trestle having been disarrange Ihin
some cause and not being fixed immediate
ly, was forgotten, and therefore, when Mr.
Kosensteel was passing over it with the
leather it fell to tbe ground, a distance of
, about eight feet, throwing him and the
' truck upon the pile of timber- Fortunate
ly no bones woro broken and be escaped
with only some severe bruises.

—Part of the Vhoir in tbe Wigwatn
Sunday-school just saved Ihemselvea from
creating a decided sensation iast Sunday
afternoon when they rose from their seats
and remained in a standing (Kwilion while
th" others were sitting. Those in the
1 audience part of the room did not know
exactly what was the matter, and supposed
they had merely lisen too soon, by mis
take, and were too stubborn to sit down
again. The truth is, the seat threatened
' to give away beneath the heavy weight
upon it, and the choir w as Compelled either
to no or else take a lowly and uncouifort
' able seat on tho floor.
—Tho*a young ladie* who only rare for
their boaui for the ake of the elegant
buggy and f*t hor*e* that they own are
just now in a quandary. They do not like
to give them the " mitten," while, at the
um time, these beaux are worth no more
to them than *o much superfluous rubbiab.
In view of the preaent condition of the
country road*, it will be *ome time before
they ran take a ride with pleaaure, and the
aforesaid young ladie* ladies have merely
to " endure " these beaux until the weather
will permit yiem to be of some u*e.

HOLY WEEK, OK PAMHION WEE*.—
Next woek U tho latt week of Lent. It
hat boon obtorvixl by Christian* from a
vory oarly date at a limo of special solem
nity. From tho important event* which
occurred in tho latt weok of the Saviour's
lifo, it hat boon called from primitive
timet, Tho Great Wook, and Tho Holy
Week, and later, Tho Passion Week. A*
o as tho timo of Chrysostom, Bishop of
Constantinople, A. I). BM-407, there* wa*
during thit week a general cessation of
business among tho Christian part of tho
people. Fasting wan observed with groat*
er strictness than in tho other weeks
of Lent, and special act* of mercy and
charity woro engaged in by all, the Christ
ian emperors setting an official example.
Tho llrat day of tho woek is familiarly
know at Palm Monday, and is derived
from the custom of branch-bearing, which
was practiced at one of tho high festivals
of the Jewish church—tho Feast of Tab
ernacles—and was a reminder to the Isra
elite* of their going forth out of the wilder
ness. They woro commanded—"Ye shall
laku you on tho first day the bought of
goodly trees, hrnnchet of palm trees, and
the boughs of thick trees, and willows of
tho brook ; and ye shall rejoico before the
Lord your God seven days." (Lev. xxiii
-40.) And there seems to be a connection
between tho usage of palm-bearing and
the Divine ritual, both of ,Sinai and the
New Jerusalem; for John writes "Af
ter this I beheld, and 10, a great multitude,
which no man could number, of all na
tions, anil kindreds, and jieoplo, and
tongues, stood before the throne, and be*
foro the Lamb, clothed with white robes
and pnlmi in their hands." (Itev. vii-fi.)
In the ancient Knglish church on this
Sunday the Blessing of Palrns took place
before the beginning of the Holy Com
munion. The narrative of Israel's en
camping by tbe twelve wells and three
score and ten palm trees wa first read ;
then the account of our Lord's triumphal
, entry into Jerusalem, when the jseople cut
down branches from the palm treat and
spread them in the way. After tffis the
palm, yew, or willow branches were laid
upon tho Holy Table, and (lie minister
pronounced a blessing over lb<m. A ; ro
ccssion then passed round the church sing
ing anthems, and distributing tho branch
es. On this day the Lutheran, the Re
formed, tho Kpiscopal and the Roman
churches begin to set before nu-n the suf
ferings and death of Jesus Christ, which
is contemplated at least in their liturgies
or forms of worship, throughout tbe entire
week.
