Y. M. C. 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

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.

TWOHKRIOUM RUNAWAY* WIIH U IIAVK
MINOR HKHUI.TKII IN TIIK DEATH OK ON*
OK TIIK VICTIMS.— The evil fates which
seem to conspire against people on some
occasions, apparently followed Mr. Henry
Keller in an unusually revengeful manner
during his visit to town tin Friday, last.
He, witli his wife and daughter, started for
home, away up on top of Nittauy Moun
tain, übiut 4 o'clock I-. M. When near
the mill of Mr. Thomas Reynolds, the cars,
which often come along the track from
Valentines Forge, witli considerable veloc
ity, mnhh-tily appeared in sight, frightening
the two somewhat untamed horses driven
by Mr. Keller,so that tliey sprang around,
upsetting tin; spring wagon with its occu
pants. Mrs. Keller was considerably in
jured, and the aid of Dr. Hitler was in
voked. The tongue of Mr. Keller's wagon
was broken, so Mr. Guggenheiiner, our
popular merchant, begged of Mr. K. to
make use of his horses and carriage in
conveying his wife and daughter home.
This Mr. K. refused to do, but at last
consented to accept the loan of Mr. Gug
geiihoiiner * spring wagon, hitching hi*
own horse* to it. A lied was made in thu
wagon for thecotufortof Mrs. Keller, and,
after some delay, they started on their way
homo about C o'clock.
So far as is known their further progress
wa> 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

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

Hi rnami-wa- Mis# M*tlisnd her lover and
present husband is Mr. Frederick S Bow

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 I<ather* and
Samuel Bower submitted their handsome
person* for the occasion to serve a# groom'e
men.
Afler the ceremony the assembled com
pany were invited to gather around a table
spread with most delicious viands. Kvery
effort was put forth to m*ke all thing* cor
respond with the importance of the occa
sion, and the feast was partaken ol with
much appreciation. The presents received
were numerous and costly, eliciting univer
sal admiration. Entering a* they do upon
matrimonial life with such glowing pros
pects, we are sure our highest wishes for
their future happiness will be more than
realised.

IN M KMORIAM. —The following obituary
notice, which we have received, though
long, is so beautifully and tenderly ex
pressed and Ml well bestowed that we pub
lish it, knowing that it will prove interest
ing to many of our readers
The pa|>cr* 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<l age. The
decrepitude which in later years wrote it#
lilies up.n ttiem, had not touched them
> then at all. Their eyes were clear, their
hands were steady, their gait was tirir and
strong. And three nobler looking matrons
were never Mx>n They had all iieen fair
women in their youth, and *ge had only
l"m hid theni with a re her fullm .s of
lieauly. \N hile their forms were the per
fection of womanly gnuoand their age<l
faces fair to look upon, it was not the
hoautyof outward e*prneion which op-o.
iilly won you. It was the spirit-light
from within, which touched *ll their faces
with * kind of transfiguring glory. It was
said of Christ that "while He prayed the
fashmn of hi* countenance wa- altered '
Is not this the case- with all who sincerely
and truly pray ' And those women had
so long Ix-en women of faith and prater,
that this transfigured look seemed fixed
upm their countenance*. The serenity,
the peace, the kindness, the p - rft love
arid trust, which rested on their br><w like
a halo of glory, were the natural result of
the lives which they had lived When
thay were little more than children, they
all gave themselves to Christ. It was not
a partial hut an entire surrender. And
with those women, to give one's self t<
Christ was more than saying. "Here Lord
I give myself away It Was lo Consecrate
every power of lewly and soul to hia ser
vice. It was to repress the hasty Word, to
cultivate kind and generous feeling*, to ba-
Iriend others in a spirit of entire Mdf-sur
render, to remember in word and ded the
g>dden rule, "All thing# whatsoever ye
would that men should do unto you do ye
even so unto them,'' it was in all thegrcat
things and in all the little things of life, to
put Christ in their place, in thought, and
lo just what they believed He would do
in their situation. 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
