Willits will lecture at Cat asampta on the 28th
to aid in purchasing an organ for the
Front Street Grammar School. The Philadelphia
Press thus speaks of this noted lecturer "Any'
one night well have been flattered with the recep
tion given on Monday evening to Dr. Willots, at
the corner of Broad and Arch. The people of
Philadelphia long ago knew that what this lce•
Curer does he does well. Ills subject was treated
with a variedness which no one could wield, who
had not a living illustration In his own home.
Without any of the cant or conventionalities or
nasal twang with which many of our public speak
ers arc afflicted, he advanced In a style that was
logical without being dry, poetic without being
harmonious without being silly, bold
without being rash, pure without being finical.
We all came away tilled with great humor and a
resolution more highly to appreciate our 'homes.
Indeed, it la n great deal better to jolt down moral
reflections with a good laugh than to take them
hut didactic portions. Long live Dr. •Wlllits, the
entertaining lecturer and genial men."

which will be practically through trains, paying

this route the trip to Chicago can be made a few
hours sooner than by the Pennsylvania Central.

Mr. W. C. Curry, of Erie, Pa., each held a general
accident policy of .$lO,OOO In the Travelers. Mr.
Forbush was a young man, and leaves a wife

self Insured against accidents, for his father was
crushed and burned to death at Angola, three

HOW TO CARRY TUE LEOIST,ATERE. — Tht .
Apportionment. Bill, as reported to the Senate,
will give the Republicans fourteen Senators out
of thirty-three, and forty-nine Representatives out
of one hundred. Philadelphia Is allowed only
four Senators while she Is entitled to seven, and
the balance of the State Is cut up in such it way
as to counterbalance a Republican county by
stronger Democratic county. Then, to get rid of ,
the Republican majority In the Slate, several
heavy Republican counties are combined in one
Senatorial district. Thus, for instance, the Erie,
Crawford and Warren district will poll a Repub
lican majority of over four thousand. The bill is
an honor to the ingenuity of the Democracy, but
here . will be a very great difficulty to overcome
before It eau lie passed In the House.
FATAL trADENT.—The Easton Express
says—We te,fret to learn of the sudden death of
our former townsman, Mr. John Laubach, which
occurred at Middletown, Pa.; this morning. Ile
was employed there as agent for a stove factory,
and while engaged in loading solar cars on the
Pennsylvania Railroad was instantly killed. The
particulars of his death we have not learned. Mr.
I. uOmch was formerly engaged In the stove busi
ness on Fourth street, where, by his untiring in
dustry and genial dispo , ition, he built up quite a
thriving, trade. About two years :leo he disposed
a this establishment to his brother, and removed
to :troudsbnrg, which place he left some mouths
ago to accept the position he occupied at the time
of his death. Deceased was 14 years; of age, :tad

GOO circulation; and the Little Missionary with a
circulation of 7,500. These Church missives are
sent to and read by subscribers living in all
parts of the world. The Moravian and Little Mis

tion (leather mail bags marked U. S.) until they
reach the West India Islands, or the more distant
shores of Labrador, Greenland and the native
home of the Ilotteutot, England, Ireland and Ger

spot of earth—helve. Of sill the months in the
year, March has the precedence for popular detes
tation, so that yesterday It was not at all out of
keeping for this noisy, blustering, self-asserting
month, to insist upon the right of speaking Air It
self. There was a certain gloominess in the
weather from the dawn of yesterday, Sabbath,
Oust exerted its influence and could be felt through
out the entire day of rest, and but one ray of sun
shine for a few minutes greeted the earth at sun
set, and that one benignant glance gave sufficient
assurance that the bright luminary of day still
existed beyond the darksome clouds. The church
bells chimed the hour of 'worship but the triumph
ant March winds wafted their melody high through
the welkin, and peal after peal died away softly
and murmuringly, sounding like monastery bells
la the far off distance. The different sanctuaries
were but slimly attended during the day. The
cessation of the storm at evening, however, af
forded an opportunity for better attendances. A
perfect tornado of wind and rain came up from
the South-West about 3 P. M., and for almost one
half an hour incessantly the rain poured down 1p
torrents, while the wind blew such a terrible gale,
that this morning reports come In numerously of
uprooted trees In gardens, whole fences blown
down, rickety window shutters unhinged, and
frail built chimney tops divided and scattered Into
fragnientson the side-walks below. But the rain
hos also had Its benefits; the earth has been
greatly purified, the rain and winds carrying off
all that effluvia and moisture from decayed vege
table matter that has been arising gradually out
of the ground and causing fever and other divers
diseases to prevail. The •Lehigh river at this
point has risen considerably during the night, and
there isnuo telling how great the rush of water
may yet be from the country above. •
Our neighbors of South Bethlehem are rejoicing

borough a market house at no distant slay. An
act incorporating the Market House Association
of South Bethlehem has passed tioth houses of our
Legislature, and it is now a fixed fact that they I
are to have one. While we Bethlehemites are
clamoring for a market house also, the undeniable
fact stares us in the face that we are behind the
