Mr. Ilayes' Four-to-Ono Com mission are now giving their "con clusions" to the world, and very strange conclusions they are. They conclude that although Packard was elected Governor of Louisiana, lie had better desist fiom exercising the functions of that office, but leave all such trifling matters to Mr ; Nicliolls, who although never elected, yet pro ceeds to act and do just as if he had been. Now this seems to be very considerate aud tender towards the ex-rebels of Louisiana, for a Com mission four fifths Republican. But since Commissions are so fashiona ble just now, bad not Mr. Haves bet tor make a clean job of it and ap point another Commission to inquire into the validity and soundness of his own title to the office of Presi dent of the United State. There are quite a number of people who have serious misgivings on that particular point, and we doubt very much whether Mr. Hayes himself feels al together able to "read bis title clear" to the high office. Would it not help his sleep amazinginglv to know to a certainty that he is Presidents jure as well as dc facto ? What say you to our suggestion, Rutherford ? One indication that business is about to revive is tbe fact that a certain Mr. Blaine of Maine and an uncertain Mr. Butler, of Massachu setts—the two busy B's, from the two celebrated M's— are about to start up iu business, under the sig nificant name, style and firm of Cred it Mobilier & Spoons, head quarters at Washington, D. C. They will set up in direct opposition, yea, un der tle very noses of that other new firm scarcely yet established—Mr. R. B. Hayes & Co. There will be sharp competition for the business of the country, and while one firm has de cided advantages in some respects, tbe other has the inside track in others. The Spoon firm unites the ex perience of ripe old agb with the vigor of manhood, it is true, but the make upo'f the firm and the kind of goods they propose to deal in are a little unpopular to insure entire success. Their policy will be : Opposition to the firm of Hayes A Co. Their goods—Credit Mobilier, Spoons, Bloody Shirts, a little worse for ' wear, Sectional Hatred, Political „ Animosities, Rebels, Traitors, Cop perheads, etc., etc. The firm of Hayes & Co., will moetly'deal iu such staple goods as Peace, Local Self-Governraent, Civil Rule, Reform, to some extent, Com missions, Ac., while in the Notion ' Department may be found Errors, some Bungling, Experiments, Hesi tation and other Fancy Goods. Hayes A Co., promise to keep a large numbei of qualified and gentle manly Clerks, Carriers and Porters. In short they seem very anxious to secure tbe confidence of their pat rons and the public generally. As neither firm has as yet given the JOURNAL any advertising or JOB WORK, we do not feel bound to recommend either to our readers, but will wait awhile to see which sells the most goods or does the best business. The Poor House Question. A few days hence the citizens of Centre county wili be called upon to vote for or against a Poor House. Are they prepared ? We fear the subject has not received that atten tion which its importance demands. We have tried to gather some infor mation on the matter and have come to the conclusion to vote against the proposed Home for the Destitute. As far as our observation goes the poor of the several townships are de cently kept and well cared for. There may he exceptions to the rule—as there are to every rule—but these are certainly very rare. It may and does sometimes happen that men are elected to the office of overseer who have no proper conceptions of the sacredness of their trust, but such instances happen seldom. True, our vision in this matter is limited — confined to the secluded and peaceful vallies where much the greater part of our life was spent—but if the other parts of the county provide as well for their poor as do Penns and Brush Yallies, then, iudeed, there is no need to erect a Home , in the delusive hope of increasing the com forts of that unfortunate class who are to be its inmates. On the main qneslion then—the well being of the poor—we have our serious doubts -whether a poor house would be an improvement on the present system. As things are, the poor are distri buted among a number of homes throughout the several townships, tnere being seldom more than one' pauper in a family. This one is to all intents and purposes a member of the family, efits at the same table with the others, and shares the pleas ures and enjoyments incident to family life. In short, it has a home. A poor house, after the manner contemplated by the law, would seem to be much akiu to an extensive hotel establishment, conducted sole | ly on business principles. Now who I wauld permanently exchange the quiet, social com forts of home for the bustle, the hurry and flurry of hotel life ? After a trial of a few days, who is not happy to be again at home ? These reasons, then, are entirely sufficient to induce us to vote "against acceptance," and there are other considerations that ought to weigh heavily with our tax payers. Is it not a fact patent to all that our public buildings, our court houses and prisons, always cost us much more than they should—often nearly double their actual value ? Has not Centre county a sorry histo ry in this respect ? Take our jail as an example. It was built, if we cor rectly remember, in the summer of 1867. The contract price was. we think, between $40,000 and $45,000, but it cost the county half as much more by the time it was completed. Completed did we say P No. It never was completed in the sense that a private citizen would call his new building complete. It was grossly defective in many material respects. "Repairs" have been the order of the day ever since it is built. Only last year it hail to be re-roofed, re-spouted, re-painted and repaired generally, at a cost of nearly S3OOO. This is % fair instance of how coun ty buildings are built and kept up Other counties fare no better then Centre. Many similar cases could be cited if necessary. Could the county, or rather uouhl it do any better in buying a farm and building a "Home for the Destitute ?" We fear not, and for this additional rea son will vote "No." "Reform is necessary," and should we not pre fer not to buy and build than run such fearful risks f A final objection to the proposed "Home" is that gross mismanage ment, often great cruelty is practic ed in our poor houses. The object is very often lost sight of In the job bery and speculation of managers and stewards. This is the caso with the BUCKS couuty Poor House to-day, and the same is said of Schuylkill, Northampton, Lehigh, Mifllin, and perhaps other counties in Pennsyl vania. Besides, where a poor house is closely proximate to a larger town or city, it tends to increase pauper ism and its attendant vices. We are reliably informed that the Mifllin Co. Poor House has frequent causes of fornication and basterdy, by reason of its nearness to Lcwistotcn, We have tried to treat the subject impartially and with a sole view to the public good. For ourself we fiod ample reasons to vote against the Home for the Destitute , the euph ony of the' name to the contrary not withstanding. The probabilities are that Hon. Samuel J. Randall will be Speaker of the XLVtli Congress. Suits us exactly. Grain fields m this part of the county look well as a general thing. With seasonable rains, under the goodness of Providence, we may ex pect a good harvest. Engineer Leuffer gives notice in another column that he wants some one to build Station nouses at the Forks and at Spring Mills. Go In ye builders and contractors. LOST.

JACOB ALTER. ■ eee The next regular meeting of the Centre County Medical Society will be held at Bellefonte, in the Undine Hall, on Wednesday, April 25th, at 10 o'clock, A. M. The Directors of the Poor of Bucks county are having their af fairs investigated by a commission appointed by tbe court. The Direc tors are charged with a loose and elastic system of purchasing sup plies and book-keeping. It may not be generally known that persons who from carelessness or other causes take mail fnm the postoffice that belongs to another, and fail to return the same, are lia ble to a fine of SSOO or one year's im prisoument. We are authorised by responsi ble parties to state that all violations of the j letting laws in this vicinity, will be prosecuted to the utmost ex tent of the law. This notice is no scare, but is given in good faith. Obey the law or suffer the penalty. FIRES are again the order of the day. Our neighboring towns, Lock Haven aud Lewistown, each have had a large fire recently. The ques tion forces itself involuntarily upon us, what would Millheim do in case of a fire ? Nothing,—absolutely nothing. We have not the slightest provisions of any kind against such a possible misfortune. If Providence did not protect us better than we do ourselves, we might have had good reason to regret our criminal negli genoe long before now, but there may be a limit to the patience of Providence, even. We may be given over to hardness of heart one of these days. This matter has been talked of by our citizens, both in public and in private so much, that we for one despair of seeing anything prac tical done, until, perchance, after we shall have been visited by a first class fire. It is not altogether true that "a word to the wise is suffic ient," or else we Millbeimers are very unwise. Having a little business in Belle fonte one day last week we were at tracted by an extraordinary display of Dry Goods and Carpets at the door of the Mammoth Store of S. & At Loeb, whose advertisement ap pears in another column of this week's issue. We were utterly as tonished upon finding many of the articles there displayed and for sale. This is an old and reliable house, having been established in our coun ty seat in 1852, and we can well say that it will pay our patrons to give them a call. They sell an enormous amount of goods and the small profit {dan has made them eminent and popul&r in their business. A NEW MAN.— J. Newman, Jr., the king Clothier of Uellefonte, is exactly the right man in the right place—the man for the people and the times. Clothed in a suit of his clothes, a fellow must feel like Croesus. Why we only bought a hat of Julius; and all Bellefonte thought we "looked splendid." Warm greetings and friendly faces on all sides were the consequence. Now, if you go to Bellefonte on busi ness or pleasure, just buy some cloth ing of Newman, and you witt thank us for sending you there. D. L. Zerby will open his select school on Wednesday, April IS. next. All who have subscribed and alt others wishing to attend are request ed to be present at the commence ment of the term and attend as reg ularly as possible. No deduction from the subscription price will be made for lost time except in case of sickness or by special agieement. Terms moderate. One of the best Rook Stores in Central Pennsylvania, is that of James Welch in Rellefonte. Full to repletion in its various depart ments, Mr. Welch sells at prices that defy competetion anywhere. Just now he makes a speciality of paper and envelopes selling the lat ter at live cents per pack, and note paper 'at 7—lo cents i>er quire. We advise our readers to visit and buy at Welch's store when they go to Bellefonte. Of the many good stores in Bellefonte the Drug Store of J. Zel ler A Son, is one of the very best. They keep everything in the Drug and Medicine line you can think of, and a great many things you don't thiuk of until you go there and see. Their prices are absolutely low for the quality of goods they sell, while the manager of the concern, the Son, is a gentleman in the fullest sen se of the word. Zeller & Son's is your place for anything usually kept in a first class Drug Store. Mu. DANIEL F. BEATTY, of Washington, N. J., the energetic and persevering manufacturer of the Beatty Piano and Golden Tongue Parlor Organs, deserves the highest credit for having produced the most perfect musical instrument combined with the utmost beauty and chasteness of design yet offered the musical public. See his adver tisement in another page. Address Dauiel F. Beatty, Washington, N. J., U. S. A. Let us be clean, in order that we may be healthy.

Depot, Crittentou's No. 7 Sixth Avenue, New York. Hill's Hair A Whisker Dye, black or brown, 50 cts. Modern civilization requires that a Rood cigar store should be very close to a good hotel. Now this is exactly the case at the Bush House, Bellefonte. If you come out- of the front entrance after meals, or at any time in fact, you have only a st£p to your left and you are right at the llead Quarters of A. J. Cruse, who sells by odds the best cigars we have smoked for a long time. We don't advise men to suioke for that would be wrong ; but they will smoke whether it suits us or not. Now the best advice we can give you un der the circumstances is, smoke good cigars, and the place to get them wnile at Bellefonte is Cruse "a. Try it, and vou will say so too. It is a real pleasure when one enters a store and finds a full line of goods, low prices and gentlemanly proprietors. Such a favorable com bination must gain many friends and customers. Now this is em phatically the case with the Hard ware store of James Harris As Co., Bellefonte. Everything you . can think of in their liue is there, and at prices to suit these panic times ex actly. The senior of the firm Mr. Harris, has been in the business for many years, and knows exactly how to handle a Hardware store. We can assure our readers that they can find no letter or cheaper place than James Harris & Co. ■ ♦ • Home is the most attractive, the most lovely place upon earth. If this is not the case with any partic ular home, the fault is certainly with the inmates. Much as we all love home, we can not always remain at home. Business and sometimes pleasure call us away. How pleas ing then when abroad, to find a place as nearly like home, as possible. There are really but few Hotels that bear any comparison at all to a hap py home, bat the Bush House at Bellefonte, is one of the raro excep tions to this rule. We stayed there last week, for the first time in our life, and are free to say that we were delighted with all there is in and alx ut it. The gentlemanly proprie tor, Mr. F. D. M'Collum, showed us around in every part of the spacious building, yards, stabling, sheds and all. A system of order and neat ness prevails throughout that makes one feel entirely at home. What pleased us more than all was that there was no drunkenness to be seen —no profanity heard. An impression used to be general ly prevalent that the Busu HOUSE was intended more particularly for tourists, city folks aud uDper-ten dom generally. This is certainly not the case with Mr. M'Collum as pro prietor. To him the farmer and me chanic are just as welcome as the Senator and Drofessional man. It is the anxious desire of Mr. M'Collum to disabuse the people of Centre Co. of any false notions of hujh-tonetim oncerning the Bush House. To our friends and patrons we say, try the Bush. DIED.
