Since the severe sleet storm of last
week the local telephone companies bave
bad all their available help on the go in
putting their lines In order. The lines in
every direotioti were down and greatly
damaged, In many sections the poles be
ing broken and uprooted for half a mile
at a stretch. The only line in operation
outside of town for most part ol last week
was the Redbank, which seemed to with
stand the heavy coating of ice better than
the others. Communication with the
outside world is once more possible now,
but it will be some days before all the
damages are repaired.

thus it seems to be the world over-scbes,

a little Ice to cool our parched lips wbile

Pretty W. C. T. U. Function.
One of tbe very pretty social as well as
intellectual functions of tbe season was
held at Relief Corps hall on Wednesday
evening last, the occasion being a recep
tion to tbe board of directors and faculty
of tbe borough Bchool, and tbe presenta
tion of a steel portrait ol Frances E. WU
lard to tbe only room In tbe building
wbicb bad not hitherto beeo graced with
one of" these beautiful pictures of this
famed woman. Tbe gathering was a
large one, between sixty and seventy
ladies and gentlemen being present.
Shortly after eight o'clock, the President
of tbe local Union, Mrs. J. H. Derickson,
announced tbe beginning of the program
of tbe evening, and a quartette composed
of Professors Gill aud Felt and Misses
Pease and Osgood of the school faculty
very pleasingly rendered "White Ribbon
vibrations,",a songofexquisitesweetness,
and Rev. B. F. Feit eloquently invoked
tbe Divine Llesslng upon all present and
tbe ceremonies ol the evening. Tbe
President then gave a short but very
pleasing and well considered address of
welcome, Mrs. J. P. Huling read a care
fully prepared paper on tbe history and
progress of scientific temperance instruc
tion In the publio schools, and Prof. C. F.
Felt of Room No. 4, gave a five minute
talk on "Why should scientific temper
ance instruction be thorough In the first
five school years," which was replete
with good points snd was well received.
"Tbe parent's responsibility toward the
publio schools," was a subject assigned to
Rev. Mr. Soberer of Endeavor, wbospoke
intelligently from tbe standpoint of teach
er, parent and director, In all ol which
stations be bas bad a part. Mlas June
Herman of Room No. 8, read a fine paper
on "Why scientific temperance should be
taught in the higher grades In tbe school"
and bandied ber subject with consum
mate skill and tact. "Why parents should
be interested in scientific temperance in
struction in tbe publio school," was as
signed to Rev. Mr. Bailey, who dealt wiib
the subject in a happy vein, bringing out
many good points.
At this point Prof. Gill, always a favor
ite with Tionesta lovers of vucal music,
rendered a very pretty solo and was
obliged to respond to an encore, with Miss
Glenna Weaver sweetiy playing the ac
companiments. Supt. Morrison gave bis
views with some freedom on the sub-j-
ct of "bow direotors nan assist in secur
ing the best temperance instruction in
tbe school." The Professor bad ideas of
bis own aud if these might be a trifle
critical be felt that he ought not to sup
press them, not even on this occasion.
Mrs. fsuie M. Sharps read a very pleas
ing and well arranged paper on tbe life
and glorious work of Miss Willard, re
vealing many new characteristics of this
gifted and salnth woman.
The program olosed with the speeches
of presentation and acceptance. Tbe for
mer was given by Mrs. J. E. Wenk, su
perintendent of tbe department of scien
tific temparance Instruction of tbe local
Union, and ber address was, we thought,
very good, but she's our wife and we
may be a little biased in our estimate of
its merits. Prof. Gill, on behalf of tbe
school accepted the handsome portrait in
a graceful five-minute speech, abounding
in good thoughts and pleasant references
to the memory of Miss Willard and the
cause she represented.
Tbe literary and orensio features of the
program thus ended, tbe next bour was
given over to social chat and tbe discus
sion of a delicious lunch of light refresh
ments prettily served by Mesdames J. B.
Muse, James Haslet, George Holeman
and Joseph Clark. From beginning to
end It was a most delightful affair, carried
out with the precision and grace of grand
masters in the art cf entertainment.
