j lioned back of the counters to wait on
them.
j —Wo are heartily in favor of cam fx
j meetings, on every day except Sunday.
On la-t Sabbath, we aro compelled to say,

church upon tho people of Bollefonte, and
it Is to be hoped that their present appeal
to tho generosity of our citixens will meet

pose. Go, one and all, and |>atronio the

He wetided a Miss Annie, daughter of
William A. Medlar, Kiq., of Reading.
The Aitooiia Tribune say* that the beauty
and elite of thul fine old town Were in at
tendance.
Mr. John Power* has cultivated the
intimate acquaintance of a friendly robin,
which lias become even more tame than
th 'so bird* generally are. The little
i ri'iiture will hop f- arh *-ly about his store,
and although it will sometime* wander
away after worms will always return. We

Aided by two or three Caucasian sister*,
he succeeded in establishing a Sabbath
*chnol. Among the principal officers are
