assemblage of young and old. Icecream,
cake and colfoe, all very delicious, wer.
served, and we believe the Corps netted
a nice sum. The parlors of the spacious
mansion were mado brilliant and cheer
ful with a profusion of flags and bunting,
and the lawn was pretty and charming
with Chi nose lanterns, while Tionesla's
cornet band discoursed some of its sweet
est strains of musio,tnaklng the occasion a
most delightful one to all who attended.
The affair was voted a pronounced suo
Cflss by every one present, few of whom
will absent themselves from a like occa

selected as the scone.

Imperial Government, to be built from

Frank Weaver, a son ot the late Judge
Weaver of Clarion county, came very
nearly ending the existence of bis young
wife on Wednesday of last week. He
lives a short distance east of Fryburg,
and had taken his gun and gone to the
woods to hunt. Ills wife, formerly Miss
Lena Miller, who Is well known and has
many friends In Tionesta, had been out
after berries in the same vicinity and was
returnfmr home. Weaver saw some
thing moving in the brush ahead of him
and thinking it was some gamo animal
or bird, fired, the charge of shot taking
effect in Mrs. Weaver's head. The feel
ings of the horrified husband can better
be imagined than expressed when ho dis
covered his awful mistake and thought
he had killed his wife. But lortunatcly
iko result has not bech so serious as at
first imagiuod, tho doctor having sue
ceeded in extracting all tho shot from the
ladies' head and face, and if no other
pnmnliealions. blood poisoning or the
like set In, she will recover. What a ter
rible warning this carelessness should be
to all who are in tho habit of handling
euns.

K'jsd i'uuiaui of Luu.avuf, i bdd a
horse stolen from bis barn on Saturday
night. The animal was five years old
and weighs about 1000 pounds, is black
with white stripe in .'ace and a little
white on left hind foot, and has a bunch
on left hind leg. There is no clue to the
thief thus far.
The North Hold Conference.
Northfikld, Mass., Aug. 12, 1898.
Dear Mr. Editor:
In the great multitude of things seen
and hoard and thoughts suggested there
by since I have come to Nortbfield I
scarcely know where to begin in writing
a letter. A short letter is wholly inade
quate to do justice to the place and the
character of the work here being done.
It is a most cosmopolitan company that
is here gathered, representing a large
portion of our own land and from across
the sea, of all evangelical creeds and be
liefs ; and yet I venture to say that rare
ly under similar circumstances of such
variety of speakers and freedom of ex
pression does such unity prevail. "With
one accord in one place" characterizes
the Bpirit of the Northfield conference
and on all sides may be heard expres
sions indicating the fulfillment of the
purpose of tliis convention in increased
knowledge and more perfect cons2cra
tion ; growing in grace and in the knowl
edge of Christ.
The program is very similar to past
years although there are some of tho for
mer speakers absent and new ones have
taken their places. Rev. G. Campbell
Morgan of the Congregational, Rev. F.
B. Meyer, D. D., of Christ's Congrega
tional church, London, and Rev. Si ney
A. Sclwyn, D. D.,o Bournemouth, Eng.,
of Church of Eng., are the principal speak
ers. Another speaker is Mr. Tiadi, a
Swedish evangelist, who is called the
Swedish Moody and Sankey because he
both speaks and sings. He has been
engaged in evangelistic work in com
pany witn the King's brother and is a
powerful man in every way. There are
also many others of ourown country who
have given some excellent sermons and
addresses.
The number of the services each day
depends upon a circumstance in the form
of D. L. Moody, who takes full charge of
the whole conferences. There are gen
erally about eight services, although Mr.
Moody discourages people from trying to
take in all the good things that are to lie
hard. "A full cup can hold no nice; to
pour more water in makes only a splash"
Is his familiar expression.
The attendance Is much larger than in
.any former year. Northtielil is taxed to
its utmost to take care ot the "stranger
within its gates." The crowd has over
flowed till it found a resting place at ML
Hennon , across the Connecticut river,
lour miles away.
They come from all parts ol the coun
try, from Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky,
Georgia, Florida, and all (States betweeu
and from a most composite but harmoni
ous assembly.
One very pleasing feature to me has
been the meeting of so many whom I bad
met iu former yoars, and who now seem
like old Minds. It is surprising how
many come here year after year, some of
whom attend almost, or all of the differ
cnt conventions held. One visit here in
sures at least the desire to return.
Many people have an idea that this is a
sort of Bible Bchool where persons are
assigned and scholastic lectures given
but this is not so. It is more in the form
of set mons and addresses, to which all
may go, take notes or not as they choose,
Most of tho people do the former, not for
anv special future use other than to "stir
up their pure minds by ay of romem
brance," a habit that would be helpful in
many ways if more universally adopted
everywhere.
Next week is expected to be more than
ordinarily good, as there will be an ad
dition lo the speaking force of President
Clark and Gen. Secy. Bear of the Chris'
