was, of course, ono suggested by tho day,
and by a singularly fortunate cireum
slnnco tho lender was John Mason Duncan,
than whom none could bo better calculated

summer resort. This fH<t i fast Incoming
known, not only by trnn-ient travelers,
but by ail those who desire a pbnnnt
boarding place with ail the comforts of
home. If extended experience is of any
value, the present management of the hotel
should make it a great success. The terms

ble, being only if'. 1 jer day, or s'. to per
week—children and servants half price.

20 cents.

TIIR I'RKMITTKHI AX CHUX' II
gave no referenee to the great holy day in
its ervices, hut Rev. William Laurie, the
accomplished pastor, gave hit congregation

which was lost," and in the evening he
took for the basis of hi* remark* the word*
contained in Coiossians 1:9-11, inclusive.
HAITIAT mi-urn.
Rev. W. A. Iliggerl chose for hi* text in
tho morning the words found in the 16th
chapter of Ist Corinthians, nearly all of
which concerns the resurrection, placing
special stress on tha word* of the 2tth
verse, " Rut now is Christ risen from the
dead, and become the first fruit* of them
I that slept." At the close of the morning
service the rite of Holy Communion was

sionally there can IK- found insUfic.-t in
which persons, desiring Ui improve, make
ini*tiii.cs aiid render the result worse
than the beginning. This has given ri*e
to tiie warning not to "jump from the fry
ing pan into the fire," at the unlucky fish
have lawn know nto do. Then sometimes
iron will discard good narrow and take
houo-ly ones, generally for a bad [-urfeis*-,
though if the latter is not hit [irojK-r name
he changes it in violation of law. Fe
males, when thev marry, are excused from
doing this, as every other consideration
must of course be ulterior to the great bene
fit which the connubial state it sujq*(xi to
confer on them. Tho term "Half Moon"
had in it something of oddity, it was tug-'
gestive of that bright ruler of night
which we long to have with us ail the
time, and was eminently appropriate to
the region that bore the name. Hut now
come* the news that Half moon at a post
office is no more, that wc can no-linger
• mbcliUh our letter* with a 1 and then
follow with the beautiful figure of a cres
cent, that we can no more claim the right
of having at 1.-ast half a moc-n in Centre
county jierpctually. No, the postmaster
general has altered all this, and wo now
have nothing hut an unmeboltous, homely,
disagreeably-suggestive Storm*town jewt
oftlce. Of course, henceforth people will
have the right to infer that there it at
least one [.lace where it rains half tho
rotr round, and the remainder of the
time it *nw. Il is certainly not compli
mentary to the region which bear* the
name. However, wo will Kx>n got ued
to it and in "the meantime can at lout
practice writing the word "Storntntown"
and endeavor to make it a* preventable a*

The Ave gentleman appointed a* the corn*

from where once resided the venerable Col.

on the hank, a button fully one and seven

was one of the treasure* of the venerable

fully. He haa already refuted twenty dol

tho following facts of immediate interest
-Mr. K. (.. Humes, of this place, was one of
the elder* elected to attend the General As
sembly, which meet* at Saratoga Spring*
on tho 16th of next May. A call from tlio
First Presbyterian church of Iloulr-dalo for

A GKAKII COM'-RRT.— One --f the best
j riiusi- nl entertainments ever given in this
[dace was by tho colored University sing.
- r# lat Thursday evening to a small but
delighted audience, which frequently man
ifested its pleasure by enthusiastic and j.r.s.
Lmgod H|q-laute. A numbir of negro mel
odies were rendered with charming natu
ralness yet with a studied perfection that
aoomed at times too intense. As their
repertoire in not confined hi these, MISM .
Jones and Parker and Messrs Alexander
and Hughe* were aide to irivc severe trials
ito their skill in more difficult selections.
M i*s Jones in a solo entithxi "The Return, '
and Mr. Hughes, in a hasso #*do, were the
best effort# of the evi ning. ' The Planta
tion Smg," acborus "Learning l*iSpell,
a duet; arid "Tho ProfeMor at 11.-me, a
quartette ; were all thoroughly rdishcd bv
the audience. One of their nurnla-r pre
sided at the organ in a very skillful man
ner. It is to he regretted, in view of the
object and merit* of the entertainment,
that the troupe was not greeted by a larger
audience.
A REOOLI'TIO* WHICH tun set I'A*
At a meeting of the Library Association
last Monday evening J. W Gepbart, K-q ,
intri-luc.il a resolution to transfer the
rights and franchise* of the Association to
the Young Men's Christian Aaauciati n.
This he did, because be considered that it
would, in tbatcapacity, more fully meet the
yrants fur which it was designed. Included
in th* resolution was the provision that
three rooms be maintained under the new
a /re* reading room fur hays, a
second for adults, and the third for tha use
of the Association [.roper, A strcnu -fis
opposition was made Ui the passage of this
measure, and Mr Gepbart thought it ad
visable to withdraw his resolution Wc
sinceraly hope that the Library Association
may meet with greater prosperity and bo
come of more benefit to the masse* of the
inhabitants of this town. An institution
of the kind is eminently necessary, hut un
leas, in a little community like this, if
