The May Meeting at the Tono
loway Baptist Church was, as
usual, a great success. The
weather was fair and hundreds
of people were in attendance.
The history of this church dates
back more than one hundred
years. The original settlers who
worshiped there, always stacked
their arms at the door and placed
sentinels about the grounds to
ward off Indian attacks. The
May meeting festival is as old as
the church.
Eleven persons were received
into the Christain church in Buck
Valley on the 19th inst by receiv

Aboutthirty two panes werebrok
en. The dwelling of M. S. Wilt
near the church, also suffered
from a number of broken window
panes; and Billy Wild's big hack
looked afterward like as if it had
received a volley from a regiment

Bard Brothers and Spades of
this county have taken a contract
in Potter county to peel loOOcords
of bark. They have nice timber
and nice ground. The Buffalo
flies or "Potter Connty Punkies"
is hard on the new Fulton county
boys up there. They say the only
way to withstand their attack is
to smear the hands and face with
tar. A member of the Sipes
Mill String Band joined the party
atTyrone. The boys say the first
tree he cut lodged, and he had
it to cut in cordwood before he
got all the bark off it. .
A correspondent of the (Hun
tingdon) Semi-Weekly News, wri
ting from Three Springs under
date of May 21, says: "Rev. W. J.
Sheaffer is in Philadelphia, where
he took his little son Harold to
have an operation performed on
him. Harold had a severe attack of
pneu monia, which left a large gath
ering of pus in his left side, which
could not be removed without an
operation which was successful
and we understand he is getting
along as well as could be expect
ed. It was preformed in the M.
E. hospital"
One of those heavy, wet snow
storms this spring damaged the
barn on James Henry's farm near
Knobsville. Not losing any time
whining over his ill luck, he at
once put a force of men to work,
and in four weeks, the old barn
had been removed and, in its
stead, a new one was completed
90x51, with wagonshed and corn
crib attached. We have in mind
some men that would have spent
four weeks in deciding whether
to patch up the old one or to build
a new one; then four weeks more
in deciding whether to build this
year or next and another four
weeks finding somebody to do the
work.

William Ebinger, a young cattle
buyer of Philadelphia, in com

Gordon, attempted to cross a
bridge over the Conococheague at
Riders Mill, Franklin county,
Wednesday afternoon during the
high water. They were driving
one horse in a stick wagon. Be
coming alarmed, young Ebinger
crawled from the buggy to the
back of the horse, when all were
swept into the raging flood. Gor

miles below the bridge but Ebing
er and the horse were drowned,
and Ebinger 's body was found
Friday morning hanging on a
wire fence about a mile below the
bridge.

Reunion ot the 158th.
The eleventh annual reunion of
the survivors of the 158th Regi
ment, Pennsylvania Infantry, was
held in Carlisle, May 16, 1901.
Seventy-seven of the veterans
were present just the same
num ber present at Chambersburg
last year. The fine weather, the
good work of the committee of
arrangements, and the hearty
welcome extended by the citizens
of Carlisle all tended to make it
a most successful reunion.

present was Major Hale of Ship
pensburg. 17 members were
present from Co. A; 3, from Co.
B; 19, from C; 4, from D; 6, from
