It is expected that all those who promised will take season tickets, as it was considered a guarantee and If there is not enough money taken in to moot the expense of the course, tboy will be called upon to pay in thoir money, therefore, they might as woll enjoy the lectures, An Upset. A number of young ladies hired a sled Monday evening and pockod into it for a pleasure trip to DuBols. Four young mon docided to visit tho same town and they hired a two-seated slolgh. The ladles started first and the two seated "turnout" caught up to them at Rathmel and, of course, was going to drive past the fair maidens and go to DuBols at a "two forty" rate. The attempt was made, but when tho young men gathered themnelvos out of the fence corner the young ladlos were going merrily along on their way to DuBols. Whon the sleigh was turned over on the runners again it only had one seat the bottom of the sleigh box. The young mon got in again and proceeded on their way, but not with as much comfort as before the attempted "show-off." Twelve Million. Pat MoDonald and James Dognan, of Reynoldsville, who have boon in the lumber business for a number of years, had more logs in this season before Christmas than in any former year. They have a contract for putting in twelve million feet for Hon. A. C. Hopkins. Seven million will be put in at Falls Creek, over five million of this is al ready in. They have twenty-one thou sand pieces to put into the Sandy Lick creek at this place. Twenty-two teams, mostly farmers' teams, have been hauling logs down Fourth and Fifth streets the past week, working from early morning until midnight. They averaged one hundred logs per day and a half to each team, thus twenty-two hundred logs dally were hauled from the woods to tho creek last week. Twelve million feet Is no small amount of logs to cut In the woods, haul to the creek, float to Hopkins big mill and rip into lumber in one year. Majoi Dane at Centennial Hill. Tho flint lecture of the coarso for 1802-3, under tho auspices of tlie Iteyn oldsvlllo Lecture Association, was delivered by Major Henry C. Dane, of Boston, In Centennial hall ht Thurs day evening before a small but appreciative audleneo, and from tho tlmo How. Harvey Ornmm IHirbsy, In a brief Is it eloquent manner. Introduced the Major until the close of tho loeturo ho held the peoplo with marked attention. His lecture, "Up tho Rhino and over tho Alps with a Knapsack," was Instructive, contained thrilling Incidents and was Interspersed with mirth. The Major Is a pleasant speaker and has wonderful descriptive ability. While ho was describing sotno of tho perilous places they encountered In climbing the Alps, and esictiiaily whero tho thirteen wore tied together and tho leader had to cut steps la tho loo and thus move one step at a time over an liHi-ttotind place whero ono nibwtop would have slid tho whirto party Into eternity, ho held tho Biutcnoo almost breathless. Homo pooplo reluctantly went to tho lecture but were highly delighted with It and would not havo mlid hearing tho Maj-r tell of his trip "Up the Rhine and ovor the Alps with a Knapsack" for the prit of a season ticket. "The Merry Cobbler. An immensely funny comedy, a high ly tlevor star supported by ma exco( tlonally strong company was tho verdict rendered by tho largo uudienoo assem bled to witness tho abovo performance last evonlng. Mr. Ouropson In unques tionably a finished lierman dialect comedian, Irreslstahiy humorous with out any apparent effort. The ptMHoasor of a voice of rare sweetness and flexibil ity, his make up Is good and his acting natural and graceful ho reminds one much of Ellis. Tho play Is excellent and deals with every phase of human life, high, low, comic and conscious. All in all "Tho Morry Cobbler," Is a splendid production, finely staged and elegantly dressed. The specialties are novol and what Is more they aro new. A largo houso awaits Mr. Cumpson's roturn to Hanover, come as often as ho may. Hanover Ihiily ltetord. At Reynolds Opera House, Thursday, Jan. 12th. Looked for a Model. David Wheolor, president of the Reynoldsville school board, Georgo Molllnger, John W. Fink, Jos. M. Gathers, school directors, and Prof. W. H. Steamy, principal of the borough schools, were out on a tour of inspection last week. They loft hore Tuosday morning and visited the following places and looked at tho school houses with a view of getting a good idea of what to build at Reynoldsville this year: DuBols, Punxsutawncy, Boll wood, Altoona, Johnstown, Pittsburg and vicinity. For the amount of money invested the Wllmordean, near Pittsburg, is the best building the party vslted. The gentlemen returned Friday evening with a bettor knowledge of schools and school housos than they had whon they loft home. Hollow Mockery. Sunday was a good day for jiooplo who had resolved to bo more faithful In at tending church during 1893 and wore looking for an excuse to stay at homo. We will say just here that It is hollow mockory for men and women who aro blessed with heulth and strength not Including Sunday sick, which Is ho prevalent all over tho lund to profess to be loyal to the church of their choico who allow a little rain or snow to keep them from thoir place of worship on Sunday. Such people are seldom housed an hour during tho week if they have any place to go and want to go. Poo plo who are afraid of inclomont weather are the very ones you cannot put much dciendunce on to do work in the church or Sunday school. The weather Is a good tester of religion. Well Smoked. The thermometer indicated anything but warm weather last Saturday and yet on the forenoon of that day people who chanced to pass Esq. McGaw's office between ton and eleven o'clock would think the half dozen gentlemen "hold ing down" chairs in the office thought it was mid-summer. The front and back doors were open and all the win dows raised and the 'Squire was sitting on a chair on top of the safe. McGaw is not a lover of tobacco smoke and the gentlomen who were "roasting their shins" around the stove were also mak ing the room blue with tobacco smoke, hence the attempt on 'Squire's part to "freeze them out," but they would not freeze. A Surprise. Thursday, December 27th, 1892, marked the sixtieth anniversary of Mrs. Walter Spry's birth and the occasion was not passed by unnoticed by her friends. Walter Spry has a store in the East End of town and when he is called away on other buaineus his wife runs the store. On the day above mentioned sho had been in the store all forenoon and when she went home for dinner to her great surprise a number of friends and relatives hod taken possession of the house and had an excellent dinner ready tor her. Mrs. Spry received several presents among which was a handsome chair. Carol Singers. Just nfter tho Methodist church bell bad rung out the old year and greeted tho new ono wo were lying In bod medi tating u pen tho old friend that had passed Into-tho amain of tlmo and won dering whnt tho new, untried ono had In store for us, when tho quietness of tho Infant year watt dispelled by music that was snt'harml'ntt that for a moment we almost., wondered if we had lioen transported boy mil tho realm of time, but we failed to see Uio "Pearl j gates," "streets, nfi gold, "sea of glasit," or tho "trees that' drop their leaves for tho healing of tho antUms," and were com pelled to acknowledge tho sad fact wo were still living in tho frigid tone of tlmo. How foolih we were tn hoiMi for a mom nt of soorog tho beauties of eter nity, for who ever heard of an editor, who minds other people's ImmIiicsh and makes, misstatements because ho has boon misinformed ever luting recog nized My St Potor.

Tho editor of the riTAR was among tho favored one New Year's morn and) we wore truly thankful and appreciated tho musio. We retired to rest anil had just owr comc. tho chill from tho first carol singers when again wo wore called out by a party of young peoplo who had been attending a part hartley and our teeth rafttled whllo thoy sweetly sang "Near er aiy God to The. Death frem Cancer. Michael BrcDnan, who has been known as "Old Mlko" for ma Ay years, died about foitr o'cb:k on Thursday morning, Dec. 2tth. Mlke has had charge of the supply house of the A. V. Ry. at Reyorildsville for a dozen or moro years. Whon tho immense tun nel on tho Low Grade, known as Sum mit tunnel, was being mado a rock fell down on Mike's head and for a tlmo his llfo was despaired of, but he was nursed back to health and a silver plate was put In on the top of his head to cover tho hole mado by the rock. After that Mike could not go out In the sun and do a day's work, thorofore ho was glvon tho position as "storekeeper" for the road. Ho was a single man and for many years lived alone. Several years ago his sister, Mrs. Conway, and her husband camo to Reynoldsville and Mike mode his home with them. Al though his wages were not vory large he mado and saved money and bought somo property In West Roynoldsvllle. Last spring cancer mode its appearance on his lip.
