D. A. Harma, Principal.
The Free School Entertainment
Last Jtnday Evening.
The first tine niece our school days
that we attended an entertainment by
Free school scholars was on tbe even
ing of tbe llthl, in Graybill's Hall.
That was the tim, and that was the
place designated by the teachers for
holding the annual entertainment of
the 4 Free schools of Mifflntown,
taught respectively, by David A. Har
tnin, principal. Miss Liziie R. Ilar
nian. O. Holmes Uysroger. Migg
Clara V. Daugherty.
There was a mariner in the Hall at
the time we entered that was different
from that usually heard in large audi
ences, which required a thought of in
quiry to understand that its peculiarity
was owiug to the voices of children
mingling with voices of grown people.
There was abundant time to look
over the audience, as attention was not
immediately drawn to the stage, as is
generally the case on entericg play
rooms, for there was nothing doing on
the plalform that could be seen; the
curtain was dowc. We took a seat
with a self congratulatory feeling that
we bad arrived early, and was in' to
see and hear all, from the beginuing.
It was a vast audience, that is when
tbe capacity of tbe room is considered.
There were six to eight hundred peo
ple present on this occasion, all told,
big and little.
bile there was a peculiar murmer
in tbe audiance during pauses in the
entertainment, there was also on its
face a singular expression, it wts plain
tbat it was full of tbe most pleasant
anticipations. It looked for all the
tbe world as if seated to a ban
quet of tbe uiiud and heart, who will
say that it was Dot.!
The audience was not there, in a
cynical, critical frame of mind; it was
evident tbat it was ready to receive
anything and everything from the per
formers, just as presented, without a
word of discount: taking all at a pre
mium, for it realized in the play of
the boys and girls tbe reflection of
its own performances in by-gone-day j.
The mind could not be disappointed
with such an entertainment, and tbe
heart went out full to the young per
formers in the purest affection, for they
were kin folk'.
It was a happy time. All were hap
py, ihe children were happy, in pre
paring for the great drama of every
day lite. Parents and kiu-tolks were
bappy in seeing themselves as tbey
were seen in girl and boyhood days.
It was indeed a banq'iet for the mind
and heart.
Perhaps a few were there who felt
like sajitig "Much learning bath made
tbe mad" or that "A little learning
is a dangerous thing." If they were
there tbey were so overshadowed tbat
they were ceither seen or felt.
Such observations bad scarcely im
pressed themselves, when tbe curtain
was drawn and a dialogue announced.
It was called "Playing School," Its lo
cation on tbe programme indicated to
a certainty tbat instead of being in as
a spectator for the whole of tbe enter
tainment we had airived (oo late to
witness a number of "pieces," tbey
had already been said and played.
The dialogue was hig'y enjoyable,
and most everybody felt as if they were
once more atteuding school.
These are tbe names of the players,
Lizzie Magonig'.e, Belle Derr, Mag
gie W'eller, Ettie Fasick, Coda Simons,
Ada West, Andrew Parker, Harry
Konsall, Oscar Poty, Stewart Kllis,
Darwin Crawford, Cloyd Pannabaker,
David Slaughterback, Eddie Watts,
Lewis Deen, John Ellis, Seward Mu
thersbaugh, Harry Meridian, William
Remffer, Harry Haller, (Jeorge Hef
flefioger, Ira Wilson, Milton Iticken
baugb, Philo Panabaker.
Tbe school was dismissed, and suc
ceeded bv a Tableau, the name of
which indicates, what all should do in
the evening, namely take a "Light Sup
per," Everybody thought the Tableau
pretty enough to have been gotten up
by Titania, Queen of the Faries. It
was so vanishing and fairy like, that it
passed as a sunbeam, and was gone
almost before it was seen. Those who
tableaued were Miss Bertha Kepuer,
.Jennie Loudon, Junia Paunebakcr,
Clara Deen.
Tbe next was a declamation" L t
tle Boy's Speech" by Charley lilack
welder. Tbe title ui'ght have been
changed to "A Speech by a Little Boy."
He looked like a mere speck on the
platform. He said his piece well, and
everybody felt like giving Charley a
kiss. Charley withdrew amidst a mur
mur oi approving merriment, and was
followed by a
Minor Drama "Two Beggars" by
the following pupils : Lula II. Caveny,
Ellie Haller, Tillie M. Loudon, Daisy
Simons, Katie C. Goshen, Mary E.
Heck, Mollie Kreider, Bella Til'-en,
Louie Loudon. The whole play was
well rendered, but the crowning feature
wag found iu Granny McBride. The
attitude, the cap, tbe white shawl across
the shoulders and tied at the waist, the
whole appearance of drees and de
meanor revived in mind the grand
mothers of " Au'.d Lang Syne " days.
There was an act that was frequently
repeated that created the suspicion that
the being ensconsed in Grandma's
clothes was not Grandma, bat some rosy
eheeked girl, and tbat was when she
spun," she as often turned the" wheel
backwards aa forwards.- Grand Mas'
don't do such tilings you know. Who
knows but that tile act waa thrown in
on purpose t
Tbe "Two Beggars" was folkwed by
TaMtau. "The Old Corn Crib" . which
was, simply an old boot on a stand,
The old boot was lurried out, and the
pleasant song, "She Sleeps in the V al-
ley too its place. The song reached
an end and with Its melody died away
to give place for a dialogue, called
"The New Scholar , which was a
pleasant little play, participated in by
tbe following scholars Flora Kepner,
Minnie Willis, Tillie Creswell, Bertie
Haller, Katie Etka, Katie Stroup.
Thenext piece was a declamation,
The Smack in School, by Andrew
Parker. Andrew's speech was follow
ed by Mi?a Minerva Harman in an Es
say on "The Closing of the Year."
Miss Harman, had scarcely commenced
to read, when the lights began to fail;
there was something wrong with the
gas apparatus; slowly, but as surely
as fate itself tbe lights died out. There
waa gbastliaesa about the slowly de
clining light tbat in fancy seemed like
be dying raya of light tbat flicker on
the border of the "Valley of the Shad
ow of Death," A real sense of danger
did not foeess tbe mind, but there
waa an uncertainty atout the manage
ment of tbe gas tbat was exceedingly
unpleasant. - After an adjustment of
the ga "machine " the lamps were
relit and the entertainment continued.
Frank Wevgantte succeeded The Clos
ing of the Tear," in Little Lifteis " a
declamation. Little Litters" waa suc
ceeded by a song, " The Sweet Story of
Old," by the Fourth School. Tbe Sweet
Story was succeeded by a dialogue, "The
Young Orators," by Harry UcClellan and
Eddie Watts. The contention of the ora
tors was succeeded by a peaceful declama
tion, "The Scholar's Mission, by William
K. Ktka. At the conclusion of this well
said piece it became us to leave th Hall,
which we did, and that is all that we saw
of the entertainment. The people wbo
were there are not yet through with Jhe
good talk about it.

A ktmber of Russian Mennonites
are speuding tbe winter in Mifflin coun
ty among American bretbreu of the
same religious belief, as may be learned
from tbe following from the Lewistown
Senlinrl:
Eight families, in all forty persons,
of the above named people bave con
cluded to remain in Menno township,
until Spring. They sailed from Ham
burg, some time ago, with the intention
of settling tu Kansas. hen they
landed in this countiy they heard of
the grasshopper plague there and con
eluded to stop in the East during tbe
winter, and so tbey are in Menno town
ship, among friends, and good friends.
They dress iu tbe style illustrated iu
our school geographies peculiar to the
' Russian Serf." Their language is the
pure German, only familiar to the edu
cated of our excellent Amish (pro
nounced Ornish) population. Tbey
could not have chosen a happier local
ity for discipline, or educati u, prepar
atory to permanent entree upon their
new homes. They will be kindly cared
for and instructed, and be all the wiser
and better from their intercourse with
the Mennonites of Mifflin county.
As exchange says : Judge El well, in
a Columbia county case, decided tbat
school directors could only levy a Ux
of ten mills on the dollar. This de
cision has been held good by Judge
Walker, and an additional point deci
ded iu a recent Schuylkill county easj.
A regular tar of ten mills and a special
tax of two mill:, for building purposes,
had been assessed iu the borough of
Piuegrove. Tbe building tax was to
be used for tbe repair of a school bouse
already erected. Judge Walker decides
the two mill tax to be illegal. Ordi
nary repairs must be made out of the
regular school fund. As these deci
sions are iu conflict with the rulings of
the School Department, it is important
that they should be generally known.
in order that school directors may not
igonrantly collect taxes they are not
entitled to receive.

one application of Pain Cute Oil will

j Bt request the following hymn is
! published. The citizen from whom it
j was received, wri'es : "1 have copied it
from a collection of hymns now out of
use generally. I would like to have it
published as Select Poetry.' "
The Prodigal.
Behold Ihe wretch whose lust and wins
Hath wasted his estate;
tie begs a share among the swine,
To taste the huskj they eat.
" I die with hunger, here," he cries,
" 1 starve in foreign lands ;
My Father's bouse has large supplies,
And bounteous are his hands.
I'D go, and with a mournful tongue
Fall down before his face;
Father, I've done thy justice wrong,
Nor can deserve thy grace,"
r
He said and hastened to his home.
To seek hi father's love ;
Th father saw the rebel come,
And all his bowels move.
He ran and fell upon bis neck,
Embraced and kiss -d his son ;
The rebel's heart with sorrow baka
For follies he hadjdonc.
Take off his clothes of shams and sin,"
(The father gives command,)
" Dress him in garments white and cl.-an,
With rings adorn his hand.
"A day of fcasiing I ordain,
Let mirth ami joy abound ;
My son was dead and lives again,
Was lost and now is found."
Bio Invention. Lloyd, the famous
map man. who made all tbe maps f.r
General Grant and the Union army,

J. II. Rogers, foundrymau at Johns

j bomb-shell in a purchase of old metal.
He thought it a defective or condemned
shell, one tbat had never been prepared
for war. With other metal he put it in
the cupalo of the establishment. By
and by a dull noise broke in on the
monotonous hum of the foundry; the
whole house shook, and Mr. Rogers did
not know which way bis concern was
likely to go whether up or down. It
was the bomb-shell tbat had produced
the uproar. Tbe cupalo has undergone
extensive repairs since then, and tbe
next bomb-shell tbat will get into it,
will not be under the management of
Mr. Rogers.

Hair Vigor
Por restoring to Gray Hair iti
natural Vitality and Color.
A tlressiig
mlikh is at
once agreea
ble, hrItliy,
and" ettectual
for preserv
ing the iiair.
It toon rr-
stores faded
or grny hair j
to its ornjiiial
enhtr, irith the t'o.is ami fh-shness o f
youth. Thin Iiair is thickened, fall
iri hair checked, ami baldness often,
though not always, cured ly its
ne. Xothins can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, so that a new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will present the hair
from turning gray or failing off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents
the formation of dandruff, which is
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sul
Ftances which make some prepara
tions dangerous, and injurious io the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, hut
not harm it. If wanted men-lv for
a HAIK DRESSING, nothing else
can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich,
glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.
