Christian Association, last Sunday after
noon. The quartette from tho African M.
K. church, contrary to ex|iertation, found
it impossible to he present, hut the large
assembly did not manifest much disap
pointment, and evidently enjoyed the ser
vice. The leader, Mr. J. H. Myjrs, gave
an excellent talk on "Christian Manli

—The Mountain Cily % Band discoursed
some of its prettiest music for tho John

more persons were present from Snow Shoe

Fa., and Hop. 8. R. Peale. of Lock Haven,
and William Gerard, of New York. They
were severally concerned in important
case* upon the trial list, all of which were
continued for cause.
A POEM ANI> OTHER EXERCISES.—A
half dozen or more orations, recitations, es
says and other exercise* were given at the
Addisonian Club last Saturday night, but
the gem of them all was a long dramatic
poem by Prof, ileebner, of the Hellefonte
Academy. It introduced His Satanic
.Majesty and Belial as tho principal dm
mati* persona, Satan was iti great trouble
because of tho spread of knowledge in the
world, the cessation of wars, and ot her cause*
which hindered his work, and especially be
cause of the organization in Hollefnnto of
the Addisonian Club, which had gathered
in several of his most faithful adherents.
Ho dispatched his chief Prime Minister
Belial on a special mission to break up tho
Club, but on entering tho room the spirit
of evil was so overawed by the dignitied
manners of the President, that ho retreated
in despair. He met with a similar failure
on a visit afterwards to the President's
boarding house, and hearing his loud, reg
ular and musical snore. Tho poein was
received with much applause. If the Pro
fessor is as successful ir. all his courtships
as on this occasion of courting tho Muse
he is to be greatly envied. The reso
lution for debate, "That tho State should
foster, encourage and support a system of
higher education as well as a system of
primary education," was negatived strong
ly by Mr. Schrooder and others, but the
ponderous logic of Mr. Kliis Or vis prevail
ed, and it was decided by a vote of 7 to U in
favor of tho affirmative. This decision
should encourage Prof. Wickershain and
other educator* who are of tho same opin
ion. Tho prop*ition for discussion next
week, offered by Mr. Ellis Orvis, is,
"Hetolred, That citizens on leaving this
country to reside in another should bo al
lowed the privilego of expatriation, except
in time of war or other menacing danger."
Mr. Spencer Ogden offered tho following
pertinent proposition to be discussed two
weeks hence:
"Remlred, That our pre*ent system of
diplomatic representation should be abol
ished."
The session was, a* usual, quite interest
ing, though the absence of the President
wa* regretted,
WISDOM FOR FEBRUARY.— This month
really ha* a right to twenty-nine days
every year, but just because August was
named in honor of the Emperor Augustus,
our Pagan Roman ancestors stole the last
day from February and added it on to
August, that it might not be one whit
inferior to July, which was named after
Julius CN sar. February, with the ancienl,
was the month of puriflratinn, from /<•&-
ruutn, during which the Luperralia, or
Februalia, were celebrated, the festival
beginning on the 16th and was celebrated
annually. Luperculus, or Februus, was
the god of fertility, whose appropriate
sacrifice* were dogs and goats. After the
offering, two youths, patricians, wera con
ducted to the altar, when one of the priests
touched their foreheads with a sword dip
ped in the blood of the victims, and an
other priest washed off the stain with wool
soaked in milk. Then the priests sat down
to a feast, at which wine was plentifully
furnished. After rising from the festal
hoard they cut the skin* of the sacrificed
goat* in piece*, and covered, with some of
these, parts of their bodies, in imitation of
the deity, represented as half clad in goat
skin*. With the other pieces, converted
into into thong*, they rnn through the
street* striking everybody with them, par
ticuTarly women, who courted tho blow,
from the belief that it averted future mis
fortune. The ceremonies of the festival
were supposed to symbolise the purification
of the people.
A Scccwarui. DAY.— When our friends
of the Lutheran church counted up the
proceeds of their festival, on Tuesday of
last week, they were much ama/.od at its
amoujit. The most sanguine had estimat
ed that about $"• would be realized, but
they countinued counting dollar after dol
lar until it reached the astounding sum of
sll2 —the work of a single day. The co
pious fall of rain really conduced to the
monetary success of the occasion, for it
kept many people away who had purchas
ed tickets, and made the large amount of
good things provided go so much further.
Sufficient ice-cream, oyster* and cake re
mained to enable the congregation to give
a free treat the following day to the
members of the Sunday-school and every
other person who came for it. This is an
unusually good reeult for the work of but
one day, and the congregation are to be
congratulated. They also desire to express
their thank* lo the many persons who aid
ed them with their patronage.
Council. New*.—Council met, u usual,
on Monday night, with Mi*r*. Ardell,
Crider, Har|x>r, McClure, Reynold* and
Sbortlidge present and President Hume*
in the chair.

Music IN CHURCH EN —The rcrtron of
Kev. John Hewitt, last .Sunday evening,
was a pleasing and pertinent discourse on
"Music in Churches," which is quite an
important subject in all places of worship.
He showed what a prominent and delight
ful part music had occupied in religious
worship during all time, and especially in
the ancient Hebrew service and that of the
early Christian church. Many of the (Jos
pel hymn tunes now so popular have been
adopted from questionable sources, but are
now used in Christian worship with good
effect. Higher styles of music are render
ed by a trained choir to inrtte while con
gregational music is rendered to ex pre** re
ligious emotion, and each should form a
part in every service. To congregational
singing the objection is often made that it
is likely to be out of time, but musicians
aver that no hurrnony is so perfect as that
made by a vast congregation of voices, and
where there is the correct leadership and
the spirit among all to engage in the ser
vice, it will be impossible even for a |a*r
son with no ear for music to utter false
notes, and there will be no one listening to
criticize another. In Bellefonte, where
so much money is expended for music,
there should be no lack of it in the church,
and all should aid in rendering it instead
of criticizing the half-dozen or more who
are im|>elled from a sense of duty to volun
teer their aid in giving it.

CORNET BARD CONCERT.—Tho Millheim
Cornet Band are making extensive prepa
rations for the concert they purpose to
give in the Town Hall at that borough
next Saturday evening. A large number
of vocal and instrumental solos, duos, trios
and quartettes have boon selected for the
occasion and have received that careful and
elaborate preparation which the Band
give* to whatever it undertakes. Tableaux
and com)*: speeches will inters|r*e and
give rare spice to the exercises. A farce,
entitled "A Race for a Dinner," will be a
very laughable affair. This entertainment
has been in preparation for a h-ng lime and
it will surely bo worth attending. The
admisaion price ha* been placed at the ex
ceedingly low sum of 26 cent* , children 16
cent*.
TUK FARMER*' HOMK.—Last week we

thoroughly at home, lie is a**i*ted in the
conduct of the hotel by his wife, a lady of
refinement and intelligence, and evidences
of her skill in the preparation of coffee,
cakes, creams, pastry, and other delicacies
are perceived and much appreciated by the
guests. Thi* hotel has now fairly gained
the appellation of the "Farmers' Home."
During this week many jurors from the
county and counsel from a distance have
been enjoying the hospitality of the Hush
House.
THE EIGHTH WOHDER OK THE WORLD.
—The fact that the clock invented by Ste
phen D. Kngle, of Hazlelcn, is the result
of the inventive geniut of a I'ennsylvanian,
should influence everyone to visit it while
on exhibition in the vacant store room
under Reynolds' Hall, commencing next
Thur-day and continuing for three days.
The clock is altogether too complicated
to permit of a description. Forty-eight
moving figure* appear upon it, which are
twenty-six more than are produced by any
other clock in the world. They combine
a complete and instructive study in relig
ious history, astronomy and music. Stu
dents, especially, will find it exceedingly
Interesting.

Boalnburg's Musical Convention

January 'J'J, under the direction of J'roß.
A. J. Hwartz and Frank J>ale. l'rof.
Ki-rick presiding at the piano and l'rof.
Dale at the organ. The l'rofeaaori used
tiirir utmoit endeavor* to advance the class
in mutc, and to make the convention the
"buss" convention of the season j and nobly
did they accomplish their purpose. It
wa encouraging to the J'rofeeeor* and
singer* t/> see that their efforU were appre
ciated by having such good attendance dur
ing every session. Not only young peo
ple, hut many aged person* attended
through rain and sunshine, and seemed de
termined by their presence and support
to have HoaUburg a convention appear
at the head of the list in point of excel
lence. On concert night there wa* an un
usually large, attentive and intelligentaudi
enee—many of whom came early in order
to obtain comfortable seats. I'recisely at
7 o'clock l'rof. Swartz called the house to
order and announced that the hour of
opening hod arrived, when the concert be
gan by theclau singing for the opening a
piece entitled "Be merciful unto me, <)
God," followed by a variety of anthem*,
glees, songs and choruses. Cornet solos,
and comic songs, were given by Professor
Dale, who is recognized as being one of the
beat song singers in the county. In order
to give variety to the entertainment, and
rest to the class, Kev. Jacob Yulzy, during
the concert, delivered a very interesting
address on the subject of music, which wis
very appropriate, for music being a v< ry
important branch of the fine arts, naturally
refines our tustes, arid encourages a love for
the beautiful, therefore it should receive
attention and encouragement from all.
The singing still continued Rnd the music
ring was all new and rendered in very
good style. From the manner iri which
the class was conducted, and the proper
expression brought out. wo naturally con
clude that l'rof. Swartz, i not only a good
musician, but an excellent and* accom
plish) d drill master. Prof. F. Keller, of
Hellefonte, sang a "bass solo," entitled the
"Tempest," which was highly appreciated
and heartily applauded.
But we must not forget the musical dia
logue, entitled the "l'rof. at home," which
was one of the grandest parts of the con
cert. The l'rof. appeared on the stage in
it very comfortable position, apparently
enjoying all the pleasures that a pleasant
home could afford. The tax collector ap*
peared and demanded his tax, but was
dismissed. A lady called to see him to
wlioni be was showing proper respect and
courtesy, when to his dismay, tin- collector
re-appeared singing, your State, County,
Poor tax, Ac., followed by the servant girl,
who brought him a cup of tea. shouting.
"Your tea sir, your tea sir, why don't you
take your tea*'" lu the miJst of ilii*
medley the performers, M iss Kmma Swartz,
M as Julia Johnston, Mr. Klmer Swartz,
and Mr. S. A. Stover, retired from the
stage loudly applauded by the audience.
The evening being pretty well s|>ent Kv.
Yutzy returned the thanks of the l'ro
fesssor* and singers, a* follows : s.J n

the name of the congregation, I now re
