After the war he returned home
and settled down to pursue the life
of a civilian aud the occupation of a
farmer. He pursued this honorable
occupation for a number of years.

HIS ILLNESS.
The history of tbe illness contin

on Saturday ovoniug ho breathed
his last and passed into his homo of

William A. Htas, hou f Rev. W.
A. Hans of Selinsgrove, died in
Philadelphia on Sunday, aged about
27 years. William Haas, Jr., was
married about 11 year ago to a most
estimable young la ly of Pliila l.-l-phm
who now survives him. The
deceased was a young man of re
mai kablo genius. Since lss ho has
been in the employ of the lliMtviu
Locomotive works of Philadelphia.
During the winter of 's'-'ss ho made
a miniature engine patterned uft(.r
the Pennsylvania Railroad Engines
It was made with n hatchet, saw
and pocket knife and the eontriv
auce measured 80 inches in length,
and to show how perfectly it was
constructed, we need but to mention
that a photograph of tho ongino was
akeu and those who had not. been
previously informed, naturally sup
posed that the picture had been tak
en from a full-sized engine such us
pass his fathor's house every day on
tho Pennsylvania Railroad. Other
objects that require equally as much
genius have been the result of his
dexterity and skill, Tho little en
gine-'he produced secured for him a
position with the Baldwin Locomo

live works, vy strict attention to
duty he won the respoct aud esteem
of tho officials And in 11 short time
he was sent long distances to deliver
engines aud at the time of his death
was one 01 tne leading persons about
this world-famed factory.
The death was due to the ravages
of consumption and the loss is

Isaay. Eyer of Selinsgrove, who is
wen known in all pu ts 01 tho coun
ty, died in a Philadelphia Hospital
on Sut urday. Ho is the son of Isaac
A. Eyer. The cause of the death was
typhoid pneumonia. The deeeased
was afflicted for some time and as a
last resort consulted the skill of phy
sicians of Philadelphia. Tho re
mains were brought to Selinsgrove
ou Monday afternoon. Tho funeral
took place on Tuesday afternoon.
Ho was buried ut Witmer's church
near Dundore. Tho Masonic Lodge
of which he was it member partici
pated in the services und performed
the usual funeral rites. Hn was
about 17 years of ago.
Music Has Charms.
This old saying was very sub
stantially proven by the large and
appreciative audience, who attonded
tho Concert given by tho Middle
burgh Orchestra in the parlor of
Hotel Central last Monday evening.
The programme, a variod one, con
sisting of the very best selections,
overtures etc., was carefully com
pilod.every number of it proving to
be a hit. While tho musicians wero
anxious to have it bo known, that
this "Evening out" was to bo more-
ly a rohoarsal, tho listeners wero on
ly too willing to accopt it as a fine
Concort and enjoyod it us such.
The different members of tho
Orchestra must be complimented
upon their lino playing. Wo wero
glad to notice that our genial host,
Mr. W. H. Smith, was not charmed
to suoh an extent as to forget tho
inner man, and loud uro tho praises
of those who partook of tho bounti
ful luncheon prepared by Mrs.
Smith in her customary, tasty and
liberal way.
A rival orchestra consisting of
Culathumpiuns did not fare us well.
They hunted au audience, but wero
not successful in their search, their
lunch consisted of a pail of water
applied to the outer man. The joke,
however, was not on them alone,
but a large share of it borne by a
sparking couple of pedagogues, who
must have felt very uncomfortable
under the ciroumstances.
