TIIK TAAKARIUURATROK.—One of the mo*t thoughtful and deeply interesting dia cour*o*, of the many which ltev. John Hewitt, of the Kpiicopal church, I* accus tomed to givn hi* hearer*, wa* deliv ered la*t Sahliath evening to a large con gregation. The lubjnet wa* taken from tho tio|H>| according to St. Mark, It 1-3, und wa* of course upon the subject of the Tramflguralion. The three npoatle* ao conipanying Christ up the mountain were the three who had witnuaacd the raiting of Jairuv' daughter and the tame who were to view lii* ugony. That it should lie MOMS* and Klia* who ahouli) meet Cliriat at thi* place we* wonderful—one wa* the typo of John the Hapliit and the other of Christ himself. They were also figure* of the "quick"—or living, and the dead Klia* of the "quick ' in that ho had ascended to Heaven without dying, and MOM-* of the i dead, a* h* had met his death in full view of, hut before reaching, the "prom ised land." Thi* incident wa* an answer to the prayer* of lioth Mow* and Klia* .Mote*, after 1 /A>o year*, wim in the { "promised land ' whieli he had longed so much to see, and Klia* now saw in reality what 1,1)00 years before had been to him ' but a shadow. They each witnotnod the , ushering in of the new di*|>nsation. We should not, then, complain if we wait for I year* in answer to prayer. In the fact that Peter recognized thoae two we are en couraged in the belief that we will recog- I nine one another in Heaven; and it will lie Heaven inde<>d where friend* in heart will he in companionship and we ihall know a* we are known. Many other line joint- wore made which have escaped our memory. O?Rit Wit* Mnit or SCHOOL Teach er* and *cholar of our public schools who will soon be released from the duties whieh have told rather severely on *<> me of them, will rejoice one w<-ck from to-morrow when they dtshand for the welcome hoi idays. Kxaminations commenced lat Monday morning and will continue through thi* week, and they show conclusively that genuine progress hat been made during tho winter, of which all have g'xxl reason to he proud. No part of children* Intlruc . tion ha* boon omitted in the corriculum, and tho variety of the imtrueti.in add* ■ •e*t and thoroughness to all that i* done.

In brief, the story seem* to be this: Some time ago a handsome woman entered the tervtce* of one of the flr*t families in Ty- | rone. She remained there for a sboi t lime, and at last, with a week's notice, quit, and WAS next seen, boarding the train for Har rishurg.

A name is now found for her*-Klsie Viola—and she is kindly received, admitted, baptized, and take* up her residence with Mayor Hurd, of Alloona. She ha* since been adopted by a Mr*. Stover, of Logantnwn, where we hope be will live happily to the end of the chapter.

In a song and tab leau Mia* Janie Dare and Mr. Frank Kel ler gave a beautiful exemplification of "Faith and Hope," and may the scene be indeed typical of the spirit which shall characterize them when they reach the age represented in the tableau. Miss Salli* Hoffer, a very pretty young lady and a prodigy at mutic, but becomingly mode*t withal, gave a lovely piano solo, entitled, "Grand Wall* Brilliant." Mis* Sallie bids fair to become an excellent performer. Then occurred one of thoee delightful little character songs between Vl** Km ma Aik en* and Matter Waiter Lambkey, entitled, "Mr*.
