Item 1.   Changes in Control of Registrant.

          Not Applicable.

Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

          Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. ("Mid Penn" or the "Registrant")  completed the
          acquisition of Miners Bank of Lykens,  a Pennsylvania  chartered bank,
          ("Miners")  and the merger of Miners with,  into and under the charter
          of Mid Penn Bank, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the  Registrant and a
          Pennsylvania chartered bank (the "Merger"),  which Merger was effected
          at 7:01 p.m., on Friday,  July 10, 1998. The  transaction was effected
          pursuant  to the  terms and  conditions  of an  Agreement  and Plan of
          Reorganization,  dated January 9, 1998, among the Registrant, Mid Penn
          Bank and Miners  (the  "Agreement").  The  Agreement  is  attached  as
          Exhibit  2.1  (included  as  Annex A to the  Proxy  Statement)  to the
          Registrant's  Registration  Statement  No.  333-51485,  filed with the
          Commission  on  April  30,  1998,  and  as  amended  by  Pre-Effective
          Amendment   No.  1,  filed  with  the   Commission   on  May  7,  1998
          (collectively,  the "Registration  Statement").  All capitalized terms
          used herein and not defined herein have the meanings  ascribed to them
          in the Agreement.

          Under the terms of the  Agreement  and  pursuant  to the  Registration
          Statement,  Mid Penn issued  148,250  shares of its common stock,  par
          value  $1.00 per share (the "Mid Penn  Common  Stock")  for all of the
          issued and  outstanding  shares of Miners.  Simultaneously  therewith,
          Miners merged with, into and under the charter of Mid Penn Bank.

          The  addition  of  Miner's   approximately   $28  million  in  assets,
          increases,  on a proforma basis, Mid Penn's total assets, deposits and
          shareholders  equity to approximately  $262 million,  $215 million and
          $25 million, respectively. With the addition of Miner's main office in
          Lykens,  Pennsylvania,  Mid Penn now has ten (10)  banking  offices in
          Dauphin,   Northumberland,   Schuylkill   and   Cumberland   Counties,
          Pennsylvania.

          The transaction was structured to qualify as a tax free reorganization
          under the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,  and will be
          treated as a pooling of interests for financial reporting purposes.

          The  description of the  transaction  set forth herein is qualified in
          its entirety by reference to the  Agreement and the Agreement and Plan
          of Merger,  dated as of January  9,  1998,  between  Mid Penn Bank and
          Miners (the "Plan of Merger"),  which Agreement and Plan of Merger are
          attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Registration Statement.

                 MID PENN BANCORP, INC. COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF
                              MINERS BANK OF LYKENS

     MILLERSBURG,  PA. . . . MID PENN BANCORP, INC., (AMEX MBP) headquartered in
Millersburg,  Pennsylvania, and parent  company of Mid Penn Bank, a Pennsylvania
chartered bank (the "Bank"),  today  announced the completion of the acquisition
of Miners Bank of Lykens ("Miners"),  headquartered in Lykens, Pennsylvania. The
transaction  was  effected  pursuant  to the terms of an  Agreement  and Plan of
Reorganization,  dated January 9, 1998, by and among Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc., the
Bank and Miners (the "Agreement").

     The  transaction  was  structured  to be a tax  free  reorganization  under
Section  368 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,  and will be
treated as a pooling of interests for financial reporting purposes.

     Simultaneously with the acquisition of Miners, Miners was merged with, into
and under the charter of the Bank.  The addition of Miners's  approximately  $28
million in assets,  increases  on a pro forma basis,  Mid Penn's  total  assets,
deposits  and  equity to  approximately  $262  million,  $215  million,  and $25
million,  respectively.   With  the  addition  of  Miners's  office  in  Lykens,
Pennsylvania,   the  Bank  now  has  ten  (10)   banking   offices  in  Dauphin,
Northumberland, Schuylkill and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania.

     At that time, each shareholder of Miners received 10 shares of common stock
of Mid Penn in  exchange  for each share of common  stock  owned of  Miners.  In
accordance with the Agreement, Mid Penn issued 148,250 shares of Mid Penn Common
Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of Miners.

     The  merger was  overwhelmingly  approved  during a Special  Meeting of the
Shareholders of Miners held June 11, 1998.

     Eugene F. Shaffer,  Chairman,  President and Chief Executive Officer of Mid
Penn,  said,  "We are  delighted  to have Miners Bank of Lykens join our banking
family.  We are confident  that their  affiliation  with the Bank will serve the
consumers and business of the greater Lykens area well."

     "We are looking forward to our new relationship with Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc.
and the  opportunity to emerge as a leading  financial  institution in our area.
With Mid Penn's  knowledge  of the Lykens  area and the Bank's  diverse  product
line, we are excited about expanding our services to the community," Franklin W.
Ruth, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer.
