A small stone struck him on the side of the neck, near the juglar vein and rendered him unconscious for a short time. It seemed to distress him very much and became ill ‘from the effects of it. Under ordinary circumstances little attention would have been paid, bat it struck a vital point, ~Last Thursday evening Hon, Jr Gephart was suddenly taken ill while in the Prothonotary's office, and would have fallen to the floor had he not attyacted the attention of Recorder J.

CALLED DOWN AGAIN, -e Last week the editor of this paper got a first-class calling down, by the follow- ing in the Gazette : BELLEFONTE, PA, March 4, '0% En. GAZETTE i —lo last of the Centre Democrat the editor of that paper takes the opportuniiy of Jumpiog on our President and culling im a “wriggler," an “old woman” and having no backbone in present trouble with Spain. He seems quite full of patriotism now, but would his patriotism stand the test should we have war with Spain, and would he be one of the first to offer his services to the country ? Why does be not take a reef in his vertebrae and show some of his backbone by trying to put a stop to some of our nuisances right here in our own town, such as the congregating in front of the Centre Democrat office every night there is an entertainment in the opera house of a gang of loafers who use language that compels respect able people to remain away from there, or at least have 10 put up with this nuisance if they do go. The same can be said of the gang loafing ia front of the Brockerhoff House every night, Swearing and blackguarding, even in the presence of the brave (7) and effi cient police. Why does he not show his backbone by publishing sach nuis ances and combing down our officials who are lacking in not enforcing our ordinances.

And in all this time, though separated by only 100 miles, neither one had heard from one of the other and Darius had no knowledge of his father's death until his homecoming last week An Early Spring.

On Thursday night, March 24th, Ona Melton, who was one of the “"Competit. or,” prisoners and seryed eighteen months in a Spanish prison on the is'and of Cuba, is coming here to lecture on that war-torn land, His lecture will be illustrated by fine lime light pictures of scenes of the rebellion and will doubtless prove highly interesting.

Itis a delicious, appe. tizing, nourishing food drick to take the face of coffee. Sold by all grocers and iked by all who have used it because when properly prepared it tastes like the finest coffee but is free from all its in. jurious properties. Grain O aids diges- tion and strengthens the nerves. It is not a stimulant but a health builder, and children, as well as adults, can drink it with great benefit. Costs about ¥ as much as coffee. 15and asc, No. 12 Much in Little Is expecially true of Hood's Pills, for no medi cine ever contained so great curative power in so small space.
