The members of the St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran congrega tion know how to manifest their good will towards their pastor and his family, and thus encour age their hearts in the nrctut-u duties incumbent upon the min istry of the Gospel. Year by year they visit the parsonage in a body, with words of cheer, re vealing happy hearts. Moreover, they bear with them the essen tials and comforts of life. As the new year was rapidly approaching, the writer was met on a mission for the Master and informed that he was wanted at home. Hastening to "the old fa miliar spot" with many thoughts revolving in his mind as to the strange message, he found to his surprise the spacious parsonage well tilled with the kind members of St. Paul's, offering their year ly gifts. It was an ocaasion of j y to all present and represent ed: Such occasions strengthen the bonds already made between friends. The writer, with his family, herewith acknowledge with grat itude the. kind remembrance, seeking the Father's benediction upon all represented. zion's. w During this season of the year when "good will toward men" is especially announced, the kind members of the Zion Ev. Luther- ;iu church at Sylvan, Pa., desired to give additional evidence of good will toward their pastor, and en courage, more and more, the hearts of those placed in their midst,-to carry on the work of the Lord. Consequently, they set ibout, with loving looks and cheerful hands, to gather of their substance and prepare the same for its long trip across the moun tain to the parsouage. Whilst busily engaged with the work entrusted to his hands, the writer and his family were great ly surprised by the approach of brothers John Culler and Geirge Yeakle seated on a two horse wagon well filled with the essen tials and comforts of life for man aud beast. They ended their journey un der clouds of mist and showers of rain; the first trip ever made to this place. But their smiling countenances and words of cheer soon told us of the happy hearts they bore. "We represent Zion congrega tion," they said. "Here are gifts expressive or good will," With rejoicing hearts and silent prayers for the kind donors we set about to remove the load. It was a happy occasion for all par ticipants. Long will we remem ber that happy event ! After aBhort.timeof friendly f illowship the brethern departed on their homeward journey, bur prayers following them and all who sent them on the Christ like mission. ; . . The family of the', writer joins him in returning thanks for these aud each, and every other token t'f good will shown them by all the members and friends in War ren township, A. G. Wolf, Pastor.

The following incident told by C. S. Fouse in last week's Semi Weekly News, (Huntingdon), oc curred up on Broad top many, many years ago. One of the early settlers in that now prosperous region was a Mr. White, who, as did all the pion eers at that time, lived in a small log house. The family had moved there from Maryland, and had taken up a tract or land, improving it by building a house and stable, clearing oil the land and opening up a farm. After a few years ho had a nice little herd of cattle. As the pasture was ood and plentiful, White, like all the rest of the early settlers, would let the cattle run at large. When evening came they would come home ; but one evening there wore two that failed to return, the bell cow and a fine young one. The family thought that in the morning they could be brought in, as the bell was heard out on the mountain. Early the next day one of the daughters started after the missing animals. She went but a short distance until she found the bell cow, but the other was not there. Looking around she saw her lying a short way off. Going nearer sho found that the cow was dead and partly eaten. Sho happened to look out beyond where the cow lay and saw something on a stump of a tree that was broken off about 10 feet from the ground. Quickly running home she told her father of the dead cow and said that there wns a deer lying .on a stump. "Yes," says Mr. White, "I know what kiud of a deer is on the stump, it is a panther." At that time a gentleman from the East was visiting the family and the two men prepared to kill the panther White had an old flintlock shot gun; which he loaded with heavy slugs (little square blocks of lead cut by hand). So they started with this gun, an ax and two large dogs. . When they reached the place they found the panther coiled up on the stump, apparently asleep. They went cautiously until quite close, for White knew it would take a hard shot to kill the animal with the slugs. As he discharged tho weapon, the . panther spran down tho hill and ' struck the ground with such force that he became Wedged under a fallen tree that lay up off tho ground. White shouted to his friend U strike quickly with. the" ax, .'..Just as the panther got loose and was raising himself up on his feet the young man hit him. with the, ax, alrinst cutting him in 'two.' On '.xuminatiou they found the slugs bad but made blood blisters on the panther's bodyj tho kiu be-j ing so very tough. .It was fortu nate for the two men that h,Q was killed before ho had a chance to attack them.
