Miss Nannie B. McAlister, whose sc. rious illness we chronicled last week, passed peacefully away on Friday morning, the 11th inst. She had la-en in delicate health for several months, but no serious apprehensions were felt, until within a few hours of her death, when it became painfully apparent that the stern Messenger had marked her for his victim. Miss Nannie was a young lady of excellent Christian qualities.

In early childhood she gave her heart to the Savior, and her after life was marked bv an upright walk and conversation. Her amiable disposition greatly endear-ed her to all with whom she came into contact. Her funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Monday, the remains being interred in Spring Hill cemetery.

A annex, 70 by 3.1 feet, with a handsome open-timbered roof, will be used for restaurant purposes. In the main building the first floor will be divided into bHggage and waiting rooms, ticket office, and the upper floor will contain sitting, smoking and sleeping rooms for the conductors and other railroad employees. A covered platform will extend around the entire building, and in the rear there will be an open space for vehicles, which will thus be enabled to discharge their occupants at the depot without approaching the tracks. During the past year the equipment of the Cumberland Valley Railroad baa been strengthened by the purchase of five engines, one passenger car, one express car, thirty-three box cars and two caboose cars, costing in the aggregate $70,175.65.

On the first of January the equipment of the company consisted of 25 locomotives, 35 passenger cars, combined passenger and baggage cars, 4 mall and baggage cars, 221 box cars, 187 gondola cars, 33 stock cars, 7 caboose care. Schedule time on the Gettysburg and Harrisburg road will commence next Monday, April 21st.

Religious Notes. The Easter services in the Reformed church last Sunday were intensely interesting. The church was crowded, isles and gallery were filled. The flower decorations were beautiful and frazrant. Eleven persons united with the church, antl the communion was much the largest in the pastorate of Rev.

Mr. Shontz. The essay on "Easter Day," as read by Miss Ida Noaker, was sublimely beautiful and eloquent, and was very well read. The congregation b'ls very much encouraged. The church was also filled in the evening.

The Sunday school is larger than ever before and still increasing. We may have something to say aliout the elegant new parsonage of the Reformed people, next week. There will le regular preaching services in the V. B. church by the pastor.
