scarcely announced, till some hard

posed to change the hour for the

adopted. When that was disposed
of, Rev. IL Cornelius from Altoona
:arose, and delivered remarks against
the holding of the sociable ; he pro
fered to hold a missionary meeting,
his experience in the holding of so
ciables had been that he partook too
freely of the good things to cat, and
generally went home from Presby
tery eick. Some minister who was
posted, but whose name escaped u.,
stated that the brother need not be
alarmed, on the question of eating
as no refreshments would bo served,
at the sociable, that it was intended
as a meetiug at which the members
of the congregation and members of
Presbytery could become better ac
quainted with each other. That in

There was a case on the list for trial at
Court next week, entitled, Mifflin and Lost
Creek Presbyterian Churches, Vs. Thomas
Van Irwin. It was an action to recover
pew rent that had been paid into the
Treasurer, and paid out by him, for the
use of the Mihiiutown congregation. It
was not claimed that Mr. Irwin bad misap
propriated the money further thau to use it
for the bene fit of the MitHiutown congre
gation. Tho people who brought tho suit
claimed that they could recover because
under the charter that bound both congre
gations to-gether the pew money should
bare been appropriated to the use of both
congregations. Considering the fact
that Lost Creek congregation won the
property under the charter, there was
ground for the belief that under a close
construction of legal technicalities, Mr.
Irwiu could be made responsible as Treas
urer for the money that the Midi in congre
gation collected and used from the pews or
seats in tbe brick church in this place.
In point of fact or truth, Mr. Irwin was as
guiltless of any wrong in the transaction
as a man that has never hvard of such
pLcts as Milllintown and Lost Creek.
The suit has been withdrawn by the peo
ple who instituted it.

- About 4 o'clock on Tuesday after
noon, the 10th inst, the gable wall
of a stone stable standing on the
bank of the creek in McAlistersville
fell into the stream. The stable
stands on the Dr. Harshbarger lot
When the wall fell, a danghter of
Dr. Harshbarger, deceased, and a
daughter of Dr. Fisher, were cross
ing the creek on "stepping stones."
The children were aged, each, alwut
G years. They were crushed into, al
most, a pulpy state. To describe
how the little girls were mutilated
by the wall under which they were
buried would be too shocking. Their
death was an instant one, and it has
cast a gloom over all that communi
ty. There is a lesson to be learned
from the following, which the Hunt
ingdon Journal of last week publish
ed : A hanging coal oil lamp explod
ed in the residence of Jack McCahan
in Walker township, on Sunday even
ing, doing no other damage thau
breaking the lamp and giving Mr.
McCahan a pretty bad fright. When
about to retire for the night he took
the lamp out of the brass cup in
which it rests for the purpose of ex
tinguishing the flame, and in order
to do so he turned the wick low and
blew down the chimney. By some
means the flame got down into the'
bowl of the lamp and igniting the oil
exploded the glass with a report as
loud as that caused by the firing of
a pistol. Mr. McCahan can thank
his stars that he escaped serious in
jury.
The Lewistown Gazette says : Bar
nard Ryuack, an embezzler, who es
caped from a car window of the mail
express when near McYeytown,
Thursday night while in company of
Detective H. J-l Johnsou, on their
way to New York, was captured late
Friday afternoon near Mount l nion.
The prisoner was ba'Ily cut tip by
his jump from the car window, but
no bones were broken and he could
walk without much trouble The
wonder is that he was not killed out
right. He jumped whilst the train
was flying through the Jackstown
narrows at the rate of thirty five
miles an hour. Rvnack lost his hat
in the jump and when he appealed
to some countrymen near Shiileys
burg his face was bleeding and cut.
His fine dress and flashy look started
a suspicion in their minds and when
the detective made search they di
rected him upon the embezzler's
track. Rynack is now in New York
registered at the tombs.
There are many gool people who

Down in the deep -
Dark holes I keep,
And there, in the noontide, I Heat aad sleep;
By the hemlock log
And the springing bog
And the arching alders I lie incog.

But never a moment it cheats my eye ;

It is as clear as water, and, as, its name in
dicates, is a perfect Vegetable 11 air Restor

all dandruff, restore gray hair to its natural
color, and produce a new growth where it
has fallen off. It does not in any way affect
the health, which Sulpher, Sugar of Lead,
and Nitrate of Silver preperationa have
done. It will change light or faded bair in a
few days to a beautiful glossy brown. Ask
your druggist for it. Each bottle is war
