A.—Ono of tli" Urgent audiences over gathered for religion* worship in this town assembled in the l'rcsbytcrinfi church INHI Huiulay night to piirtielptUo in the Tenth Anniversary of the Young Man'* Christian Association. The exercises worn interesting and not 100 long to weary the audience. After prayer by Klder John sou, of the Itnptiiit church, President Chan. F. Cook made n few opening remarks, when tlio Treasurer's report wa* read, which showed that the linancesof the Asso ciation for thi< year are over one hundred dollar* in arrears, lien, .lames A. lb-aver then presented the claims of the Associa tion in an able manner. A collection was taken up, wliit-li netted about ninety dol lars. With two brief speeches from j r sons in the audience, the anniversary exer cises closed. Hy far the most attractive part of the evening's proceedings was the music, which occurred at freipicnt inter vals. The choir numbered about fifty ex cellent male voices, and us the music ren dered was new, sweet and lively it formed a pleasing feature. When we consider, too, that a few of tbe voices present bad not joined In the preparatory practice, we have ait enlarged idea of what excellent male musical talent our town affords. The Tenth Anniversary exercises were pronounced by all present a* very suc cessful. To the llfpublican'i very creditable re |s>rl of the recent Anniversary, we merely wish to add a correction in regard t<> the S2O expenses said to have la-en paid on in trmt of the note held by F. Cook. Only about five dollars of this amount rcj>- resented the i ntfrr.il while the balance was applied on the /irinri/xtl of the note. -—Col. John 11. Bin holder, who is said to l>c a walking and talking encyclopedia in everything relating t" the battle of Getty#- burg, will deliver bis lecture upon the scenes and incidents of that battle in liello fonte on Tuesday evening the l llh of Jan uary next. The mass of materia! which Colonel 11 has collected in reference to the battle is so great that an effort is being made by eminent soldiers north and south to have it published by the government. • >ur citizens will have an opportunity to hear the main features of this wonderful story in advance of its publication, and we can assure our readers that the story is worth hearing. The lecture will bo con ducted under the auspice* t .f the G. A It —A good boy's suit $3.25, at Lyon sV Co'i. Although Yeager X Ib-wning don't make a ''specially of oysters, they man age to set before their patrons the very best tbe market affords It is with some difficulty and more ex|>vnse that they bring from so distant a mar ket as Bah iinore, the choicest oysters to !-e found beneath the turbulent waters of the Chesapeake Bay. They are fortunate, too, in having Jim McCartney about to cook for those who don't understand such tilings themselves, a* nice a stew or pan as can be had in the b-t restaurants in the targe cities. Tbe proprietors of the Opera House -al •• n are aiming to give Itelfefonte a realfv first class restaurant, in the ia-st sense of the word, and we cordially wish them success —The man wbosai-1 that "figures would n--t lie evidently bad not r made in safety until iri the vicinity of Mann's Axe Factory. Darkness had now settled in. One of the lines with which Mr. K. drove broke, and hi* steeds again became unmanageable. Just at a [mint where the road is from eight to ten feet high the wagon, with it* terribly fright ened occupant*, was thrown over into the cr-ek below. The horse* became loosened from the wagon and ran with wonderful fury on up tin- mountain, fortunately, two young gentlemen from town were returning to their homes, and had jut pa*M-d the runaway team before the accident. They promptly stopjxsl and hastened to the aid of the unfortunate par ty. Mis# Kidler was helped to lc-r feet and wa assisted into the hou-e of Mr. \\ illiains in r hy. Mho wa thoroughly f/ightened, hut not much injured. Mr. Keller, fortunately, escaped with but few bruise*. The extent of Mrs. Killers in juries were not certainly known. She • truck her head on a stone, and n-ceivxl hrui*i- on various portion* of 10-r bidy, who h, we are pained to leern, have sinie resetted in her d'-ath. Ho and a con veyance were loaned to Mr K. bv Mr William Dale, and he ba>t<-ni-d with ins sclTi-ruig wife to bis home, since which the above lamentable ri-siill lias ensued. —Splendid i ash mere a yard wide 25 cents at Lyon X I '#. A I'NIOV OK HEARTH AMI HANl.* —(in Thursday lat the young men and fair maidens, in the neighbirhood of Ml Kagle and Howard, and also from the city of I.'M k Haven and the b.rongh of Bellefonte, wended their way, on foot and in convey ances, by road and by rail, to the re>iden<-<- of John B Leathers, of Mt. Kagle. Mr leathers is well known as the owner of an extensive pottery at Ml Kagle, the p*.. sessor of considerable wraith, and whose nnme also figured prominently before the Democratic nominating convention last fall, as a • andidatc for the high office and dignity of Sheriff Nor was this *ll that our friend le-alber* owned. Among hi* nusst valued treasure w- a daughter whose lovely character and attractive person made h"r the id.,| of hi-r fond j-arent and the admired belle of all the region around Hi rnami-wa- Mis# M*tlisnd her lover and present husband is Mr. Frederick S Bow er, a substantial, well-to-do tiller of the soil and rc*ii|ent of Mt. Kagle. The cere, tnony was performed *t 2 r. M , at the rs idence of the bride's father, in Mt Kagle, Rev. long. of the Disciples church, Ixck Haven, officiating. I/ove, unseen, hut still with potent power, stooped down and made the couple one in that most sac red hour. Bef..re one hundred wilne*es, their hands, their fortunes and their hearts were united, and it wa a union of which the god* ap proved. The costume of the bride was of garnet silk, lieautifully made. The groom's suit was of neat black, Prince Albert style. The effect of the ceremony was rendered morn impressive hy the presence and aid of two lovely hride's-inaids, Misses Minnie Hoy and Klia leathers, also lieautifully • attired. Messrs. William Icr* have chronicled th< death,on the 2l'd of October, of Mrs Mary Barn hart, of Nittanv Valley, in the K"th year hi her age. But it seems a* if some more extended tribute should lie |*id to the memory of this most worthy and faithful Christian woman. Few women have lived to whom those words of inspiration could tie more app.oiirialcly applied, "She oj>en elh her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue i the law of kindness. She lookctb j well to the way* of tier household and eali-th not the |,re*d of idleness. Her children i rise up ami call her hies sod, her husband also and he praiu-th her. Precious shall her memory be when she goeth down into the g.eve, and the remembrance of her goodness shall be a healing medicine." •Mrs Barnhart belonged to a family of quite remarkable women. There were four sisters—d: ughlers of Col. John Holt, of ! Revolutionary history. One of thesisters, Mrs Jane Ante*, tinti*l for h< r beauty and : goodness, died in Bald Kagle Valley many j years ago. The other three, Mrs Nancy Patterson, of Crawford county; Mrs. Da licl Barnhart, wife ~f tbs late Judga Bar.i hart, of Mile*burg ; and the subject of this notice, wife of the late Jacob Barnhart, of Nittanv Valley, lived far beyond tbe allotted years of inari. Mr- Patterson ; passed on to the higher life, a lit.le more than a ve*r ago, ag-d ninety-five year*. Mrs Judge Barnhart finishi-d her course ■ a year or two earlier, aged eighty-seven And now the last member of the fvnnir is gathered to her Father "like a shock of corn whose ears are fully rlj>e It wa the pleasure of the writer of this sketch to s<-e tbese three sisters together, some fifteen ior sixteen years ego. They were then in the full rioeiiess of a p-acoful i then at all. Their eyes were clear, their hands were steady, their gait was tirir and strong.

Accordingly, in far greater treasure than is obtained by the average Christian, they realised St Jaintw : I'l'Wl of oj urP #n ,j undeflled religion. - ' ; Through all the years of their prime and far into old age, their band* were most tender in ministering to the afflicted, and their feet were swift to run on errand* of merry. But whila their sympathies went out to every home, they were never neg. ! lectful of their own homes. Happy the men who were privileged to call them wife- Ho-ssed the children who called them mother. Patterns of order and neat ! ness, their home* were always places of . physical comfort and re*t And a spiritual j influence seemed to exhale from their very presence, which made those home* place* ;of spiritual rest a* well. Kven the tone* of their voice* suppressed anger, quieted nervous irritation, and brought |>eace. Their admonition* were always on the side of purity and gvodne*s, and their words were rendered doubly effective hy their consistent example. One of the sons of the dear saint just passed way, resident of a western Mtate, writing of hit mother, says, "A more con scientious Christian I think never lived. 1 do not believe that she ever committed a willful sin. She may have made mistakes, but thev were of Uie head and not the heart. I never knew a time when a desire to live for Heaven was not present—never knew a time when a kindly admonition in the Interests of that better world, wa* not uppermost in her thought* and actions." And so she lived in peace, as did all the sisters, almost worshipped by her children, •nd beloved hy all who knew them. God gave each of them a full share of the dis sppoinlmenU and sorrows which are our human lot. Hut tbey met them in such a Christian spirit, as to transform the flints in the path Into diamonds, and the thorn* into flowers. The year* multiplied, and inflrmitie* came stealing on. Rut tbey never grew old. Tbey never Inst sympathy with or for the young. They never lost interest in home or neighborhitod or coun try Rom as they were out of the throes of the Revolution, tbey were nil patriot* to the latest hour of life. And while they priced this world at Its real value, they never forgot thettbt* is but "the dim dawn, the twilight of our day." They lived in jcDd anticipation of another and better But n few dey* before she passed aeray, as efttne of the family were writing to an absent son, Mr*. Barnhart said, "Tell Smith 1 am almoet home—em nearly in my Father't house " Facing the sun-set, the night hnd no gloom, for she knew that just beyond was a morning which "needs no mora th* light of tun or moon, for Uio Ix>r) Ilia mun an* ,.•*,!
