Prof. Coles Predicts a Grand Free Ex
hibition on Tuesday, Dec. 27,
Ou Tuesday evening, the 27th
day bf this month, there will occur
in the heavens the most remarkable
panorama that the inhabitatitsof the
world will ever have witnessed.
As the sun goes down behind the
hills'of the golden West, the moon
will rise in its full licautv in the
East and soon thert after old earth
will begin to draw a dark veil over
the fright chining face of the moon
and oil, nature will he shrouded in
darkness.
N scene in fairy legend will ap
proacji ' in beauty ! 1 1 will attract
morp'iitcniion and serions thought
among the hundreds of millions of
human beings all over the earth than
any other similar occurrence that
has perhaps ever before liapjiciied to
history. j
And the nio-t remarkable part of
this wonderful luavi iilv panorama
is the fact that 't will be scn by all
the people of the earth, ou both con
tinents; and that i: is the anniversary
evening of .lolm the ilaptist, ofbil
lieal records, the tivrunncr of
Christ ; and the third evening alter
Christinas, which is believed by
many to lie the ainn ver-arv of
Christ's birth.
This wonderful di-play "I the
power and w isdom of our Creator
will, we believe, be the inea"s of
making a complete change in the
present theories of .-cieiiee and as
tronomy ; and prove to be the first
heavenly panorama or iniator per
forniiiiiee of the millennium.

Middleburg has liecn selected as
the place for holding the next reun
ion of the 13 Id Regiment Pennsyl
vania Volunteers. At the meeting
at Lewisburg on Tuesday there were
nearly one hundred members present.
J. P. Smith, who attended the re
union and was elected President of
the organization, wasalmost asphyx
iated ut the Baker House. Alter
turning the gas of! when lie went to
bed he accidentally turned it on a
gain. Ho was rescued just as he
was losing consciousness. ' '
the Pennsylvania railroad station at
licwisburg, and pried open the door
J leading to . the ticket office. The
sate was oracked. 1 lie thieves put
in such u charge that the outer door
of the safe was blown through the
door leading the waiting room and
into the brick wall, doing it consi
derable damage. The inside door
did not open so that the scoundrels
had their work for nothing. Tin re
is no due to them.

Noil many weeks ago a child be
longing to a family in the southern
portion of the east side of towu was
Imdly burned, and a neighbor hap
pening into the house shortly after
wards remarked: "Shall I get a
a doctor:"' llie mother's renlv
was: "OILoawdy! no; there's too
much insurance on the child."
The little one evidently died and
its mother received death bene
fits. ' This is true in every detail
