roundihg country. On a recent night the
mill of Mr. Krtle, in I'enn township, wa*
robbed of ome flour—the thievo*, no
doubt, thinking that this substance

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.
The opening exercise* of the morning arc
pleating. All the *ch>ol it gathered into
two large room* —the older scholar* on the
' firtt fl'et and a perfect tea of little children
on the second floor. In the lower room a
chapter from the Bible is r<-ad alternately
by the teacher and the school, one of the
teachers leads in prayer, and a choir of
well-trained voire* lead* the school fin the
• inging of some lively aong Thi* is all
done with an aim to correctness, and forms
a beneficial and inspiriting exercise. The
-mailer children have boon Instructed,
with folded hand* and bow<<d heads, to
reverently chant the Lord • Prayer. They
ting a number of song* in concert, and
with such vim, that the volume of sound
fill* the room and can be heard from a
great distance. One character song, es
pecially, is very amusing and demand*
close attention. We forget the title, but
it is in illustration ef the working* of an
old clock, all of which is represented by
the children in nppropriate gesture* of the
finger* and hand*. Altogether, we think
th# winter of 11*79 of the Itollefont* public
schools ha* been satisfactory to j* rents,
teacher* and pupil*.

excitement in that city Clues to the iden

cover its father have not been satisfactory.
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

crying for admittance. A name is now
found for her*-Klsie Viola—and she is
kindly received, admitted, baptized, and

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. Tho mother'* name U thought to
lie Mary Dolan, and tl* Altnona Tribune
is of the opinion that she wat originally
from Centre county.

HKl.vxa.—'The best and moat successful
concert ever given In liellefonto wif* that
of Thursday evening last, in Reynolds'
llall, by Mrs. Love and h-r intelligent
pupils. An immense crowd gathered in
| tho 11*11 a full hour previous to tho oj>en
ing of the entertainment, and from then
until eight o'clock the ru*h for tho heat
•eats was continued. Chair* were brought
into the aisle* and extra zests plated Sri
| every available *itualion. Hurrounding the
ilage were enough plants und flowers to
| convert a pantheon into a green-house—
the beet that could bo eolle-ctcd in Belle
finite and Lock Haven. J'otz of gloriou*
lilies and geranium*, bouquet- of fern* and
I flower*, canary bird* that warbled an ac
companiment to the muiic, and a vase of
gold fi-he* kwung in air made the ugc an
enchanted bower. Two of <'bickering-'
upright* from tho wareruom* of Bunnell A
Aiken* were placed at either end of the
• tage, A full orchestra completed nil that
could he desired in a truly rerbei cbr enter
tainment.
Tho opening eboru*, "Let the Ilili* und
Vale* Resound," wa* magnificent, and
caused tho Hall it>-If to resound with the
gloriou* note# of the ojwning j ice. The
Instrumental Quartette, "(Jrahd March de
Concert,' evidenced that the ladies who
executed it were contributing their part in
the "Grand March" of Music in its onward
course toward perfection. Mi** Victorine
Lyon, daughter of our Jewish merchant,
followed with a lovely long • 'I rendered,
entitled "The Lover and the Bird.'" Mis*
Victorian ha* received musical instruction
for only one year, and has already reached
gr'-al proficiency. She may rest assured
that there were many of het "lover*" in
the audience. " Whisper* frem Krin" wb
the title of a piano solo by Mis* Mary
Crittenden, and if all her whisjzers are
that woct we envy theffellow who it fated
, some day to receive most of tbem. "Beau
tiful Moonlight" wa# a vocal duo by Men
' Janin Dare and Fannie Tuten, and moon
| light itself could not "bold a candle '
1 in comparison to the beautiful appearance
mads by thnsa young !adi< i n the stage,
and the manner in which it wa* rendered
gave honor to the subject that inspired the
song. The tableau and German song,
"Sell weitzer Ileimweb,' afforded Miz*R *-
ina Grsuer an opportunity to exhibit h<r
melodious voice and auunie a mmt pic
turesque attitude, but then it would be im
j**ihl fur Mo* Rosilia to ztrike any at
titude in which he would not form an at
tractive picture Tl.e rprighllinoM with
which "Annan Polka,'' an instrumental
duo, was rendered by Mis* Kllie Green and
Mrs Love drew forth great applause from
the appreciative audience. Then Mia* K •
ina Graner and fire or six other maiden*
• howed in aong and by action how they
intend to "l'addle Their own Canoe," arid
the *igor Willi which they "paddled"
cauzed u* congratulation that we are n r it
the "canoe." And a little six-ysar old
girl, Mis* Lillie Aiken*, in a song and
tableau entitled "Lullaby," *howed hw
a weet old grandmotlier zwing* the cradle,
in which a large wax d"B wa* placed for
the occasion. "Oh to be a boby again, juzt
for 10-night," waz our innio*t thought—
provided we could he rocked to le-p by
such a charming grandmother. Pcrhapz
the best performed instrumental compzzi
tion of the evening wa* that sublime trio'
ofCzerney s entitled "Overture Tancredi,''
by Misses Lyon and Green and Mr* Ix>ve
A rich quartette of *oico*--Mr* Brachblll,
Miss Bailie McGinley, Mez*rs Kddy and
Keller—aang. "We Shall Mi-t the Little
Onea There." Ye*, and when they do
meet the little ones there, it will be hlias
indeed if they can continue making just
such delightful music a* wa* given in thi*
sweet song. Thi* finished the first part,
with the rxrepiion of en instrumental solo,
performed by request by Mis* Victorine
Lyon, entitled "Rivere Romantic."
Part secoi.J opened with a felection from
"Pinafore," In which Master Waller
l-ambkey wa* Commander of the Queen's
Naner. and if this is a fair cample of "Pin

duction. A better commander could not
have been selected than M*ter Walter
An instrumental quartette, "Dance of tho
Fairim," wa# performed by tho Misses
Green and Misses Crittenden and Choez
man. Four genuine fairle* fingered the
key*, and *o inspiring waz the music that
the audience almost expected to behold a
bona title fairy dance. 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*. Smith, My Dear." Walter * coun
tenance wa* full of mischief and Mis# Km
ma behaved in her laucieet manner, and
it wa# a fair representation of how stunped

comas in for the bonnet and gown which
