HORN BROOK ITEMS. —A very enjoyable
Sunday-school concert was held in the M. E.
Church Sunday evening. The attendance was
good, and all were well pleased. G. L. Ilor
ton is a good superintendent for the school.
There are three hundred and eighteen mem
bers of Sunday-schools on the ch; trge.
Five thousand five hundred dollars have
been raised for church purposes on Horn
brook circuit within the two years past. One
hundred and twelve persons have been bap
tized by their pastor in tiic sauie time.

The good prospectof temperance legislation
at Ilarrisburg now is encouraging.
It is somewhat late in the day to give a re
port of tin; declamation contest which took
place in Mercur Hall last Friday evening, but
the following from the Elmira Free Press is
the only account we have seen:
The second annual prize contest in decla
mation held by the students of the Susque
hanna College Institute, took place at Mercur
Hall,Towanda, Friday evening, April 1. The
thirteen young men taking part showed a
great deal of natural ability and much culture.
A great deal of the culture shown by the
young men may be attributed to the drill they
have had from Prof. J. D. Bigelow, a gradu
ate of Hamilton College, one of the best
United States schools of oratory. The names*
of the contesting students were E.S. ltundell,
Burlington; Luther Whitney, Wysox; Harry
P. Corser, Towanda; John M. Kellogg, Mon
roeton; Albert F. Bronson, Sayre; Wm. E.
Lane, Towanda; Herman F. Lee, Steyens
villi-; Herbert S. Putnam. Granville; James
F. Murdoch, Ulster; M.E. Bowman,Towanda;
Geo. E. Beers, Towanda; William V. Dug
gun, Barclay; Kent M. Bull, East Towanda.
Prof. 11.11. HiHton of Waverly high school,
Prof. W. 11. Benedict of Athens graded
school, and S. W. Buck composed the commit
tee of award. W. V. Duggan, for his brilliant
rendering of the "Fall of Pemberton Mill,"
received the first prize—a finely bound set of
Maeauley's History of England. The second
prize was awarded to Herman F. Lee whose
spirited recital of "The Battle of Malvern
Hill" called out much applause. Harry P.
Corser and E. S. Kuudcll also deserve special
mention. The speaking was interspersed
with vocal music by William Mace, John
Turner, Miss Julia Seeley and Miss Anna
Thomas, and two very tine instrumental solos
by Misses Lillie Stewart and Freddie Fox.
The reporter wiio furnished the above ne
glected to notice the fact that Mr. GEORGE
BEERS of this place, was honorably mention
ed tor his declamation.
Monroe.
Two boys, sons of Darius Bullock, who
were at the State institution for soldier's
children at Mansfield, in Tioga county, con
cluded to take a vacation to themselves and
see how tilings were moving off at home.
Willie and Clinton are aged about twelve and
fourteen respectively, and on Sunday morn
ing they left the institution behind them, and
made some thirty miles towards mother, pan
try, and cake basket. The remaining six
miles was easily accomplished on Monday
morning, and by nine o'clock they put in an
appearance. 1 think that a few days around
home's hearthstone will enable them to flesh
up, and then return to duty again at Mansfield.
I don't believe that they will walk back as
cheerfully as they came.
Old Mrs. Sweatland was buried yesterday,
the 4th instant, after having outlived four or
five husbands, and reaching the great age of
eighty-six years. She leaves quite a property
mostly in money and bonds, and obligations.
She was more than enough for the greatest
sharpers that ever settled in Monroe, com
pelling them to pay up, under judicial rulings.
She professed to have experienced religion
some months since.
In winter matters we are having the appen
dix, with the thermometer at fifteen degrees
