Woliavn junt road with a rcat ileal of inh'iTHt a book entitled "At ( ttvnliurr, or "What a Oirl Saw and Heard of the Uattle," by Mr. Tillin (l'ierce) Allenum of SeliiiH t;rove. It in a thrilling little volume of 11H piiKci and in replete with anecdote, liiHtory, and pathoH. Wc ron irratulato our friend MrH. Alio- man on the himti'hh of her endeavor as an iiuthorcHM. for we consider it the imwt thrilliiiB little volume we have ever read. It in alike inter esting to Holdier and eivillian an it in descriptive of ineideiitft unrecog nized in general history. The fol lowing eomment on tho work by the Gettysburg Star t Siutiiol is not ove rdrawn, and places beyond eavil tlie authent ieaey of the writer's htatriiK iitH : Many books, pamphlets and news- paper artieleH have been written on the battle of Gettysburg, but thev have been principally devoted to a hiHtory of the engagement, description of the battle, movementi if troopH Ac. Of thrilling battle in cident and deeds of valor there has been no end, but comparatively lit tle has been written of the experi ence of citiens during thoHO three aw ful days, when they were Hiib jeeted to a full realization of the horrors of war when it raged amidst and in their homes. A vol ume of this description has recently been issued from the press of W. Lake Borland, Xew York, entitled "At, Gettysburg, or Whata Girl Saw and Heard of the Battle," by Mrs. Tillie (Pierce) Alleman, of Selins trove, Pa. Mrs. Alleman before her marriage was a well know n lady of our town, and is a daughter of Mr. James Pierce, who has been noted througout his long life for his ardent loyalty and devoted patriot ism, and whoso only two sons serv ed throughout tho war. Mrs. Alle muu was quite young at tho time of tho battle, but her book hIiowb that she was a keen observer and remem bers well all h1u saw and heard dur ing those eventful days. The literary work of tho story is well executed, the authoress telling what she has to say in graceful phrase, not overdrawn or exager uted. Many incidents and facts hitherto unpublished are collected and preserved and will be read with iuterest not only by tho personal friends of Mrs. Alleman, but by hundreds of tourists, many of w hom we have heard, in the punt, make in quiry us to what they will here learn how the people of Gettysburg liv ed during the battle. Her experi ence varied a thousand-fold was that of our citizens who remained at home. This little book is a valuable and entertaining contribution to the literature of the battle and should be read by every one inter ested in it. It merits and we pre dict for it a large sale. It contains 118 pages, several illustrations and is published at the low price of fifty cents. Mrs. Alleman s statement that Gen. Weed died at Jacob Wcikci t's house is correct, and can be veri fied by the highest authority. l'a per bound, .10 cents, cloth 75 cents.

The long looked-for grove meeting west of Middleburgh in power's grove commenced Saturday evening August -'Id. The first sermon was preuched by P. F. Jarrett, who took for his text Heb. 1st chap. 1 tth verse. He showed tho people, very beauti fully how God's angels ministered to the Saints of old and how they are ministering to his people of to-day. Sabbath morning bright and dear, and by ! o'clock a number of per sons had reached the grove. Wish ing to follow the blessed Master's example, we opened our exercises with a general prayer meeting con ducted by Kev. S. Aurand. At ten o'clock we had the pleasure of listen ing to Rev. It. W. Ruuyiin, who de livered an excellent sermon from Gen. 12:7. His object was to im press upon the minds of his hearers to imitate tho examplo of Abraham to first erect an altar to tho worship of their God in tho family circle. At 1 1 M., Rey. L. 8. Richard conducted a very interesting exer cise set upart exclusively for the children. Several of the brethren made able addresses which were rel ished by an. At 2 o clock we were again treated to a sermon by Rev. P. K. Jarrett, who preached a grand sermon from St. Luke's gospel 9:67, Ho picture! to us now awful it was to once profess to bo a follower of our Savior and then again return to the ways of tho world. After anoth er delightful prayer and speaking meeting. Rev. Runyan made a ap peal to the unconverted from St, Luke 19:41-42. (Continued.) S. T. Upent. Tax Liens. Tho system of taxation in Penn sylvania his never been very satis factory, and a decision just rendered in Huntingdon County Court is likely to produce a still greater muddle. It has always been held under the tax law of 1884 that tax assessments are a first lien on real estate. Judge MePherson, of Lebanon County, who recently presided in the Huntingdon Court, in tho ab sence of Judge Furst, has handed down an opinion in a case heard mere mat upset tins doctrine com pletely. 1 r 1 til .juugc .Mernorson noius mat me provision of the law of 1881 making tax assessments a first lien on the property taxed is unconstitutional. and therefore no longer operative. Tho act has been in full operation in all the counties of the State since its adoption, and this decision is like ly tocause no little confusion and perhaps considerable litigation. No question had ever been raised as to tho constitutionality of the law until now, but lawyers who have road Judge McPherson's opinion concede that Ins reasoning is cor rect, and unanimously endorse the conclusions reached. This matter is of no little impor tance to every county in the State, and every municipality as well, as likely to derange our tax system throughout. It is a pity, therefore, the next session of the Legislature is so far off, as tho matter ought to bo attended to at once, if such a thing were possible. A Remarkable Dream. A most remarkable case of a dream coming true is told by Thomas J. Stewart, a colored painter living at 1220 Franklin avenue, Columbus, O. Tho story, as related by llr. . Stew art, is confirmed by his friends, who assisted him in carrying out his wonderful dream. He was seen by a reporter, to whom he related the following story : homo tune ago I was bereaved in the loss of my wife and following the sad event I have boon thinking about her all tho time, day and night. It has preyed on my mind continually and affected my sleep, so much so that I had one dream after another about her. Quo night I had a t-t range dream about her. I thought I saw her in tho grave and iu her coflin. She seemed to me just as she w as in life, and I could hardly think she was dead. There was one thing different from her conduct when in life, and that was her distress about some thing. I heard her familiar voice calling to mo very distinctly and plainly heard her say : "Thomas, get nut out of water ; I'm all wet." Then I woke up very much distressed over the vision. After awhile I again went to sleep, and to my surprise the name picture of my wife came to my view again. I saw her as before and with tho samo expression of distress on her face. She cried out to mo just as she did before and said the very same thing. Again I woke up and felt very badly. This continued all night long. One dream of that kind followed another, and in tho morning I was completely broken up by tho vision of the night. "What is remarkable, I had the same dream on tho three followiug nights. I could not rest without in vestigating tho strange visitations, and communicating my dreams to friends, asked them what to do. I had fully made up my mind as to what I should do anyhow and their opinion was tho samo as my own. Ve resolved to go out to Greenlawn and see for ourselves w hat the dream meant. "With a party of friends we went out and had tho grave opened. When we reached tho coflin the meaning of my dream was revealed to us. Tho ground was wet and soggy and beneath tho box was a bed of water. On opening tho lid wo found the colliiu full of water and tho body of my wife floating on the same. We at once remedied the trouble and returned home, and from that time on I have experienc ed no furtheiivisitations at night." Columbia Herald. Thn only com plot book ptibllahM. Htm rradjr.
