NASHVILLE. The Tennessee centennial exposition at Nashville was opened at noon last Saturday with oppropriate ceremonies, in the presence of manv thousands of people. The opening ceremonies took place soon after 12 o clock. Aftei pra\ - er by Bishop Thomas F. Gailor. Presi dent J. W. Thomas delivered an ad dress. He was followed by Hon. K L., Taylor, governor of Tennessee. At the close of his address. Major E. <. . Lewis director of the exposition, spoke. and soon after at a given signal, the ma chinery was set in motion by an elec tric enrrent turned on by President Mc- Kinley, from the White house. The idea of celebrating the centen nial anniversary of the state was first suggested about six years ago by news paper communications, bnt nothing seemed to grow out of anything that was then said. The first active steps were taken by Captain W. C. Smith, who in the fall of 189:1 began agitating the matter at the meetings of various organizations with which he was con nected. _«• The exposition originally planned " for the fall of 1890, was of necessity postponed till this year, because of the growing importance of the exposition, and the impossibility of getting ready for a really creditable affair. The last session of the legislature ap propriated |50,000 and congress after seeing the extent of the success already attained, gave $130,000 for the erection of a special building and the installa tion of an exhibit. The gates opened on a million dollar exposition and it is safe to say that withont the strict busi ness methods which characterized the management this would have l>een fully half a million more. THE election of Mr. Deboe as a Sen ator from Kentucky after a conflict last ing sixteen months makes the number of Republicans 44 in a Senate of 88. He is a resident of Crittendon county, on the Ohio River line, in the western i>nrt of the State, and in a Congressional dis trict which is strongly Democratic. Mr. Deboe has diplomas both as a physician and as a lawyer, and also a certificate of proficiency as a School Superintendent. Of course he will be cordially welcomed in the Senate by the Republicans; but they are still one vote short of a majority without the casting vote of Vice-President Hobart of New Jersey. The Oregon Legisla ture has adjourned without choosing a Senator: the Florida Legislature is in session, but no choice of a Senator has been reached. There are forty-five States and ninety Senators, and these two unfilled posts leave the Senate with eighty-eight members only. WASHINGTON NOTES. The new Tariff Bill was reported to the Senate Tuesday, by Senator Alli son. who save notice that it would lte called up on Tuesday the 18ih inst. The time for the bill to take effect has been charged in committee from May Ito July 1. A tax of 10 cents a pound is put on tea, which has heretofore been on the free list; the tax on beer raised to $1,44 a bbl, and all the schedules more or less changed. WEYLER has became a "Reformer" too. He ought to send to Quay for some pointers. SPEAKING of hard storms, they had one of the hardest kind this week in the Rio Verde Valley, Mexico. Some of the hailstones that fell weighed three pounds. They were very hard on the Mexicans, killing 41 of them. HARRISBURG. The Brown bill, which does away with the conferee system of making nominations passed the Senate, yester day. Gov. Hastings signed the bill making May 15, a public holiday. STANDARD Oil, Co. stock sold in New York last Thursday at 300, a rise of something like 40 points within the last few months. The stock yields in regu lar dividends 12 per cent, annually, but within the last 15 months upward of 4" per cent, has been paid through the medium of extra dividends, and this fact, together with rumors that at the forthcoming meeting of the directors an extra dividend of at least 10 per cent, will l>e declared in addition to the usual 3 per cent, for the quarter, ac counts for the sharp rise in the stock- Tut Turks attacked the Greeks on the plains of Pharsala yesterday, and were repulsed. A great battle is sup posed to l>e raging there to day. WORD comes from New Jersey that indications point to the largest peach crop ever known in that State. THE Oregon Populists announce that they will not fuse again with any party, which, means that there is not in sight just now even a $750 office Iris 444 years since Constantinople was wrested from the Christians by the Turks. The long story of the conquest is one of appalling inhumanity. THE McKinley tariff produced about $5.000.000 more a month than the Wil son nfriff. it is unnecessary to look any further l'or the cause of the deficit.

Renfrew, of Refrew, 111 honor of his eightieth birthday.The family and nearly all the connection were present with aliont 10" guests. The day seem ed especially adapted for the happj event,the guests occupying the spacious grounds surrounding the old home stead, enjoyed themselves in every pos sible manner. An elegant dinner was served between 12 and 2 o clock after which an extensive literary program was rendered consisting of music, reci tations and speeches. Among the most luxiiiiiiifiit njw-akrrH present was Ko\ F. Fulton. Mr. Renfrew was the re cipient of a large number of valuable presents, tokens of the high esteem in which he is held by his many friends and neighbors. The presentation speech was made by Mr. Porter Fhipps, and was responded to with much feeling by Mr. Renfrew. Mr Renfrew was born April oU, 181 near Chambersbnrg, Frankin county where he completed the course of in. struction in the public school, he lett home when yet a young man and began his career as a pedagogue in butler county. Ere long Cupids net .was spread resulting in a union with Miss Mary L. Kirkpatrick. May 2, I*4-1 After this happy event they removed to Allegheny county. Several years later they returned to Butler county and purchased the farm which is to day the old homestead and the site of the tin in - ing village of Renfrew. A family of (i girls and 4 boys blessed them, all of whom are living with the exception of two, Samuel joined Co. H. 102 IV Volunteers, and gave his life for his country in the battle of Win chester.

Mr. Renfrew although having at tained this advanced age is exceedingly active in both mind and body and is one of the best and most favorably known men in Vf estern Pennsylv ama. To such hard working, kind hearted and generous men as this. Butler coun ty to day owes a debt of gratitude for its thrift, and to those who appreciate this fact, this sketch will be of more than passing interest. L. M. \V DICK SCHOOL. El). CITIZEN: Will you please give- a few lines to some inn ortant points The last or 7tli month of school ended Thursday, April 22. The attendance during the first six months of the term was very good, but, < * some moved away, some went to f nning, others started to the Academy, the attendance for the last month was not so large. The mwn ber of days each was present is as follows: Clyde Dodds 10, Rame Dodds 10, Thannie Dodds 18, Everett Dodds ll>, Curt Dick 12, Scott Weigle 12, Charlie Pflngh 11. George Ray 10. Carrie Pflngh 13, Emma Pflugh 20, Salie Dodds 20, Lulu Dodds 20, Lizzie Dodds 20. Jessie Dodds 10. Margaret Clark 19, Hazel Kuhn 10. Helen Kuhn 10. The term consisted of 140 days, and Salie and Lulu Dodds were present every day. We return our sincere thanks to tne patrons, the directors, and other friends of the school for their kind and unstint ed support. We have known schools in which the parents seemed to take little or no interest and didn't care whether their boys and girls attended or not. thus making it very unpleasant and unsatisfactory to the teacher even if he was capable." but this carelessness cannot be said of the Dick district.

Following w the action of Hannonj congregation in reference tothe dis?*oln tion of the pastoral relation so long;sub sisting l*-tw.-en it and Dr Samuel Kerr WHKRKAS, Onr pastor. Rev. Samuel Kerr. I). D. has earnestly requested us to unite with Un in'petitkmmgFlMUJ tery to dissolve the pastoral relation ex isting lietween him and Harmony con gregation.a relation which lias contm ue<l harmoniously for more than fort} - four years; therefor?. Resolved 1. That we most reluctantly acquiesce in this petition, being con strained so to do only by the urgent re quest of our pastor, who. because of ad vancing years, feels physically made ouate to the work. ■> That we bear cheerful testimony to the Christian eharticter. the consistent exemplary life, and the faithful, unre mitting labors of onr beloved pastor, who has gone out and in before us near ly half a century. " 3. That we would place on record onr appreciation of his ability and fidelitj as a minister of the word. He has not shunned to declare unto ns the whole counsel of God. He has been tender in admonition and faithful in rebuke, xie has kept back nothing that was profita ble unto us. We would make mention of his kind and untiring watchfulness as a pastor. , , . He endeared himself tons by his sym pathy and tenderness: hi> uniform Christian courtesy and manliness won our respect: his good judgment and wise Counsel inspired our confidence: while his tact and skill in the management ot affairs excited our admiration for more than four decades. He has been with i.s in times of sorrow and of joy. of pr<*~- perity and adversity. Onr bams have been "gladdened by his frequent visits, our hearts have been comforted, our hands strengthened. One generation lu;s passed away, another has reached its maturity, and a third is just enter ing niton th> active duties of life r.iuer bis ministry. The fruits of his mimstrv are to In- seen not only in tlie peace and prosperity of our own Haraiony congre gation, but in the adjoining congrega tions, that have gone out from the mother cLurch, and in the many active workers here and there throughout the land who think of Harmony as their ol<l church home, and Dr. Kerr a- tJ>' be loved pastor and friend of tneir youth. 1. That we would gratefully make mention of the faithful service rendered by Mrs. Kerr. She has won the respect and affection of the whole congregation and community by her active, earnest Christian life and labors. In the Sab bath school she ha-- l>een singular!} helpful and successful. Many of the most efficient workers in the conjuga tion today trace their inspiration and capability for service largely to her faithful training in the primary depart 111 ent- of the Sabbath school. li* the missionary society she lias long been a leader, wise and resourceful, persistent and energetic. ."), That we invite Dr. Kerr and Mr*. Kerr to still remain among us, and m the event of their so doing, our doors shall I>e always open for their friendly greeting and good cheer, as in da\s gone by. , _ ~ t>, That we devoutly invoke God s richest blessings on our beloved pastor and his wife. May the Father,who ha* strengthened them to bear the heat and burden of the day, abide with t.iem still, and grant that at evening time it may be light. JOHN MCQOUGAL, S. L. BRAHAM, T. C. MCCLIN'TOCK. Committee. A Johnstown Romance. That truth is stranger than fiction has been verified by a romantic occur rence in Roanoke. Va., the event being the meeting of a man and wife w ho had each snpiiosed the other dead for near ly eight years. On the afternoon Oi Mav 31. 1889, John T. Sharkey and his young wife l>oth from coun ty, Va., stood at the door of their cot tage home in Johnstown. Pa., pre pa r ing to fly from th#'great wall ot water that was coming down the valley lroni the broken dam, carrying death and de struction in its path. They plunged in to the rapidly rising waters and in their efforts to reach the hills were carried helplessly down the stream. In the horror and confusion of that awful time, when thousands found a watery grave, they soon became separa- ! ted. and though the man finally reach- . ed the shore and the woman was resoi j ed by strong and willing arms, each ; supposed the other had perished. Both remained in Johnstown and vicinit) several days, searching for some trace of each other, but neither being sue j cessful they wandered away, and being without friends or money had a hard struggle for a time in earning a living. ] The wife secured employment as a ser- ! vant in a family not far from Johns town, and the husband went East in quest of work. He stopped for a while in Philadelphia. Baltimore and other, Eastern cities, and finally located in Northfork. In the meantime the wo- man gradually worked her way to Sa_ | loin, in Virginia, where she arrived ; about three weeks ago. On Monday last the husband reached , Roanake from Northfork, and on W fM i j nesdav. while going up Salem avenue, | he and the wife, whom he supposed | dead, met face to face. Mutual ex planations followed. Neither had re | married and as each had saved some money in the years of their separation they resolved to return to their nativ* county. Buchanan, which they had left only a month when the great flood oc curred. KILDOO. Sam Fleeger has a nice, new bike, but it is not built for two. Fishing is the order of the day here.

(By August ( of Slipperyrock i The planets visible in the evening at the present time are Mercury. Mars. Jupiter. Satnni. Uranus and Neptune I < >f these Uranns is barely visible to the naked eve and Neptune is quite invis able, but a telescope of very small mag nifying power will show both of them as brilliant stars Mercnrv sots hdiacxilly on May nnh. and will not bv visible after that date Venus is a morning star and is not at present an object of much interest, but before the end of the month it will have attained jrreat brilliancy. The apparent shape of Venus at this time, as seen through a telescojK*. is that of a thin crescent whose ratio is to the en tire disk of the planet as 3 is to l'Ht. At the close of the month the ratio will be as 24 to 100. Mars is in the constellation Gemini near the bright stars Castor and Pollux and will be in very nearly a right line with those objects on the 11th and 12th, of the month. Its distance from the adjacent star, which is Pollux will at that time be ;;l>ont Hi degrees. Pollux, it will l>e observed, is of about the same color and brilliancy as Mars. In the star catalogues. Pollux is ranked as of magnitude 1 and Castor 1:7. that is Pollux is a little less brilliant than an average star of the first magnitude and Castor is considerably brighter than i second magnitude star During the night of May 28th Mars will pass through the northern portion of the famous nebula Praesepe. 'lbis nebula is resolvable by the telescope in to an immense number of stars which are too small to be seen singly. It is visable to the naked eye, and appears like a small patch of mist or milky light. The distance of Mars from the earth at Greenwich noon May <th is com put ed to be 16-J.2S4.OLW miles, which s more than four rmes as far as it gen erally is at opposition and it is const" quently le." th:;n one-sixteenth as bright as it is when in that aspect. Jupiter which tor BOOM tune past has maintained its station near the star Regn-lus in the constellation Leo, is now moving away from that object to ward the east. The meridian altitude of Jupiter is fil degree.-. Its radius rec tor for Mav bSth is VOi millions of miles and distance f rom th-- earth 481,- 21».ooo miles. It is now the most con spieaons olvject in the evening sky save the moon Saturn will be i:i opposition to the sun on the 17th. and is then at its near est point to the earth, but is still at the enormous distance of move than s -i" million of miles. This is a great deal farther than its average distance at opposition because it is now nearly at its farthest from the sun. and the ec eentricitv of its orbit is 4!),000,000 miles. The nearest that Saturn can approach to the earth at any time is about 744 millions of miles when it is in perihelion at its opposition, and that will not happen until 1014. Saturn is in the constellation Libra and its appar ent motion is retrograde. Its rising amplitude is 2:J dearies south of th>- east point and its meridian altitude is 32 degrees. It is not far from the red star Alpha Seorpii which will be readi ly distinguished by the circumstances that it and the stars adjacent to it form the figure of a svthe. Uranus is also in opposition to the sun on the 17th and is a little more than two degrees south of Saturn. A' or near the time of meridian passage would be the best time to look for it. and even then it i- at an altitude of but 30 degrees. It is on the meridian the night of the 17th, at 11:45 and 4 min utes earlier each evening thereafter. It is a little less than three-quarters of a degree to the east of the star Kappa Labrae, which is of the sth magnitude and about twice as bright as Uranus which appears to the unaided vision as a star of the 6th magnitude. The dis tance of Uranus on May 17th is 1652 millions of miles. Neptune is in the constellate n Tan rus and is seven degrees south of the star Beta Tauri. which is the bright star in a straight line with Betelgeuse and Capella. and about midway be tween them. It may be remarked that it will be useless to look for Neptune without the aid of some optical instru ment. A magnifying power of ten will be sufficient to enable the observer to see it very distinctly. The distance of Neptune "i* 2848 millions of miles and increasing.
