Item 5.  Other Events

       CNB Financial Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation ("CNB"), and The
First National Bank of Spangler, a Pennsylvania corporation ("Spangler"), have
executed a Letter of Intent dated February 23, 1999, which provides for the
creation of a definitive agreement for the merger of Spangler with and into CNB.
The merger is subject to the creation of a suitable definitive agreement,
approval of the shareholders of Spangler, and various regulatory approvals.

       Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, (i) each issued and outstanding share
of common stock of Spangler would be exchanged for 95 shares of the common stock
of CNB, and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of CNB common stock would
remain outstanding.

       As the Letter of Intent only provides for the creation of a definitive
agreement, many of the details are not yet available.  However, termination
provisions have been established as follows:  In the event that the measurement
price, the average of the bid and asked prices for the twenty (20) trading days
ended on the date that is ten (10) trading days prior to the Closing Date, is
less than $30.00 or more than $38.00, Spangler or CNB shall have the right to
terminate the proposed merger.

       The joint press release of CNB and Spangler announcing the merger is
attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
