Mil'er * A Co, Bellefonte, Pa. —ln the Lewisburg list of contri butions to the Milton sufferers we see our friend, Hon. W. C. Duncan, down for $25. .Just like the large-hearted, lib eral fellow he is. But by the way, ' what is Millheim going to do for Mil ton? —About one half of the immense business done at the Philadelphia Branch Clothing Store, Bejlefonte is due to the good quality and lo.v prices of the goods, and the other half to ju dicious advertising. Mr. Lewin under, stands the business thoroughly —All ever the state grand, noble re sponses T& coming in to the cry for help that goes up from tho three thous and houseless, homeless and pennyless people of Milton. Will Millheim do anything to help these destitute people"'' SUICIDE. — The other Sunday morn ing Mr. Augustus G erber, the Miller in Mr. Wm Young J s mill, near Mifflin burg, committed suicide by cutting an artery and bleedin gto death. He com mitted the dreadful act while under a temporary fit of insanity caused by financial embarrassment. —'There is hardly a grave yard with in a radius of twenty miles that needs thorough repairs as much as the Mill heim Cemetery does. Three good, sub stantial c iti zens were elected in early spring, expressly to liaye our grave yard put in good order. Are thsy going to do anything in the matter? Let Messrs. E. C. Campbell, Henry M. Swavtzand A. O. Deinin ger answer the question. But let them answer by actions and not by mere words. Our friend Dr. Mingle was absent from honie last week attending the annual convention of the Penna. State Medical Society, at Altoona. The doc tor was oue of the best looking men for his size, 'in fiye counties before lie attended the medical convention, but Sihce his return he looks even bttter and much wiser. May liisshadow never grow less. —ls your property insured? If not it is not only your privilege but absolute ly your duty to do so, and theie is no , better company for good management, low rates and safety than the Farmers' Mutual, and no better nor more ef ficient agent than Henry Duck. "And don't you forget it." CAUTION ! AH persons are hereby cautioned not tb buy a note drawn by me in favor of Thomas Harper, and held for collection by Solomon Ettlinger. as I will not pay the same unless compelled by law, hav ing an offset against said note for al most twice its amount. JACOB NEIDIOII. Woodward, Pa., Apl. 23d, 1880. —Mrs. Oliver P. Mench, of Mifilin burg, will pleas accept the thanks of the Editor and Mrs. Editor, especially and particularly the latter, for a very fine "slip" of tiio ihdst beautiful geran iums we ever had the good fortune to see. May it grow, bud and bloom yery ldng in remembrance of the kind donor. —We had a gentle yet copious rain in this section oil Saturday and all na ture as well as mankind generally, feel much revived. It comes rather late though to help the grass very much and our hay be short. Wheat ooks well. Oats, corn, potatoes and things in the garden have had but lit tle chance to grow thus l'ar. Consumption cured by crude po troleum pills. Full proof is furnished in another col umn of this paper, where Mr. Fred. C. Dunn, of Powhattan, Va, certifies that., after suffering for twelve months and given up by the best physicians, he was cured by these pills, and gained 29 lbs. in two months. See and read this advertisement. —Whew—degrees in the shade, how hot! I)r. Mingle says it's hot enough to roast an ox. Don't know how that is. Wo are too poor to have an ox "hist for a toy, and so Wo didn't try. —II. E. Duck, is the lbcalagent for the Farmers' Mutual Fiie Insu rance Company, commonly called the Centre Hall . company. We doubt whether ilie.e is a better or safer local company in the state than the Far mers'and our citizens should examine into its merits and claims before tliey make up their minds to insurein dis tant companies at much higher rates than asked in our own homo company. Just giye this matter your attention. —To Slow hy Much. Another load of stone was hauled into the mud pud dle, in the centre of town, last week. At this rate it will be filled up iu from five to ten years. But seriously, gen tlemen of tho council "What are you going to do about it?*' We suggest that if it is the duty of the turnpike com pany to fill up this mud hole, compel them to do so at once, but if the boro ugh must do it let it bo done without delay. The nuisance skohld not be suf fered a day longer. —DECORATIN DAY will be celebra ted here as usual by the Odd Fellows and on a small scale. They will meet at their lodge at 0 p. M. proceed to the cemetery accompanied by the Rebeccas, all iiiTegalia, where an address will be delivered by Rev. J. Benson A kers, and the graves decorated. This done they will again repair to the lodge and disperse. The baud will also bo present. There will be 110 idle show, no osten tation and no parade. This manner 's best in harmony with the feeli.igs of those whose exclusive privelego it seems to be here in Millheim to strew flowers on the graves of those who fell in defence of their country. Last Week Capt. Miller caught the most, beautiful bird—ot the kind— we ever saw. It was large, measuring over four feet across the wings, had big eyes which slowly and slecpishly revolved in 3ceVets seemingly made by a two inch augur. Its bill was sha l>ed like a Roman nose, only sharper than any nose possibly could be. The plumage ;was very light to a very dark brown, beautifully, variega ted—just the thing for a bird of this fci'nd. What provokes us abodt the matter is that the captain fooled away so fine a specimen in the bird line for the miserable sum of one dollar. It ouzht to have brought at least a hun dred dollars. Or the captain might have inade s a present of his bird. It would hava been real nice of him to have rememtteVed an old friend 111 such a becoming, considerate way—with such a rare, precious gift. Captain, we feel real bad about it. SPRING MILLS ITEMS. The weather is warm. Mr. Peter Wilson left for New York to visit his Son, Rev. James P. Wilson. Mr. Wilson is 83 years old and under takes a big journey for one so old. Wish him a safe journey and much pleasure. 11. 11. VanValzah, one of Clearfield's medical men, is here on a visit to his brother, Dr. Frank VanValzali. He looks well. * Mrs. Bavcroft, of Phila. is here visiting friends. She seems to like Spring Mills very much and why should she not? Has not Spring Mills some of natures most lovely scenes? The Star Literary Society will give a public entertainment on next Friday evening. Thepregrimme is very com prehensive. All should attend. Rev. J. B. Aker3 preached a very able sermon on Sunday morning. Next week I will try to give you an account of the lumber and bark ship ped from this point. YONEY. BELLEFONTE ITEMS. Mrs. Gotthelf, an aged lady, died last Wednesday night at the residence of her son-in-law Mr. Isaac Guggen heimer. Her remains were taken to Philadelphia for interment. Mr. Ilarvey Musser and Mr. J. 11. Wetzel; two of our young diciples of Blackstone, are off to Union and Sny- j der counties on a pleasure trip of sev eral weeks. Hope they will enjoy themselves. Dr. & Mrs. Musser, of Aaronsburg, were guests at the Brokerhoff House last week on their way to Altoona, where the State Medical Society held its annual session. The Owl, a disreputable, Semi-month ly paper has made its appearance in our town. It purports to be printed at Patterson and has a Beilefonte repor ter, whd appears to have nothing else to do than to criticise the doings of our young bloods. Boys are indignant, and it will not be healthy for Mr. Re porter if he is found out. The boys wil make (h)OwL out of him. Our town has a very successful sum mer school taught by Mr. J M. Dun can. He has 60-70 pupils, which shows that our citizens appreciate an earnest, faithful teacher. Prof. Cecil proposes to expose the tricks and delisions of spiritualism in a lecture at the opera house, Thursday evening. * * *• —lf you are no christian it is yet your duty cyan us a citizen to attend tho relief meeting this evening. Go and be of some account when there. —For a summer suit both cheap and good, go to Lewin's Philadelphia Branch, Beliefonte, where you can be suittiV to aT. —Yony Harter has just built the boss board walk in town. It. B. Ilart niau has built another; 11. N. Kreomer is going to .build another; E.D. Keen abother, and so on, and so forth. Keep tho ball roolling until it can all over town on sidewalks without getting into the mud. AARONSBURG CRUMB^. Mrs. Geo. Lauich, ftormerlv of tbis place, now of Indiana, is visiting her Penns Valley friends. Miss Miriam Dreisboch, of Lewis burg, is the guest of Miss Sarah Klino. Miss K. has recovered the use of her voice, and is 110 doubt uking it to ad vantage. Many persons weie to Rebersburg, Saturday evening and Sunday, attend' iug the Reformed Classis, which was in session there. They report a very in teresting time. Mr. Harvey Musser has como home to keep cool during the hot weather. Miss Mary Duncan is visiting Mrs. Forster. Dr. L. G. Meyer and family are home. There seemed to be a fsmily retnfion there, Saturday night, as tliey, Mr. & Mrs. C. M. Bower, of "Bellefonte, ahd Mr. David Meyer A son, of Centre Ilall, wero all gathered iu the family nest at once. Miss Mary Meyer started, last week, for Illinois. Exdects to spend the sum mer there. ' Mr. John Harper, brother of Micha el Harper, is in town. He was a form* er Aaronsburg man, but is now from Monroe, Wis. Mr. lleury Wetzel, of Bellefonte and Dr. Goodman of Logansvillo, have been in town for a few days. Prof, and Mrs. Meyer have at last settled iu a home bv themselves, and are trying housekeeping in real earnest. Rev. John Tomlinson will hold no service in his own charge, next Sab bath. He goes to fill Dr. Calder's pul pit at State College. Miss Annie Mingle has been sick for a number of weeks, but is about again, though still looking rather feeble. The much needed rain came last Sa turday. Things look mftch better, but mere rain is needed. No doubt it will come too, just at the proper time. The Lutheran church received a much needed cleansiug, last Monday, and at the same time the cemetery was pbt ia a little better oi£er. Miss Belle Cronmiller was unable to teach, during the greater part of last week. Opened again on Monday. X. Y. MIFFLINRURO. —Last week \ve at tended the sessions of the Northern Confeience, Synod of Central Pennsyl vania,at Miffiinburg. The sessions con tinued for several days, and this gave us an opportunity, which we fully improved, of seeing the town. Passing through a town on a train is not seeing it in any just sense of the word, for you generally have the most unfavorable virw possible. It affords us pleasure to state tliat we like Mifllmburg, both in a general sense and for sundry special reasons; and if we had a real good and complote home witli a paying business down there — well, guess we could manage to shift along. Mifflinburg is favorably and even beautifully situated. Built on a plain with just enough slope for good drainage it has that which gives beauty and charm to any town—a bill for a back ground. The summit of this hill affords one of the finest views we ever had the plea sure to enjoy. The panorama that here spreads out before the enraptured vision or the beholder, is moßt lovely it is enchanting. The view from the hill top in the rear of Mifilinburg is more beautiful, even, than that from the top of Nittany mountain, above Centre Hall. It is more extensive and not so uniform —more variegated. The changes from forests to cleared lands are not so abrupt and harsh. There is a gentle, gradual blending from the one to the other. Aliftlinburgha3 cue of the finest pub lie school houses in the state. It is spacious, well arranged, makes a fine appearance externally, and has a play ground of several acres. It stands as a proud monument of the public spirit and liberality of the citizens of the town. The churches too are in harmony with the school house and educational interests. T' % e Lutheran, Reformed aid Methodist are good, large, sub stantial building*—not to say elegant, while the Presbyterian is a structure of less pretensions. Altogether the town is well supplied with churches and it seems (to a stranger) that education and religion go hand in hand. The town itself presents striking con' between Old and New. There are some very fine residences— homes we hope they are in the best sense, with all the modern improvements in build ing both for use and beauty—bay win dows, verandahs, high ceilings, venti lation, with those indispenaible sur roundings—beautiful yards, arbors, evergreens, &c. The neighboring home* stead is entirely different. Appearance would indicate that the inmates have no abiding home, are not permanently settled, but stay only for the time being as a shift . Everything about the en tire premises is iu accord with this idea. Dilapidation anu decay here rest in their native ease. Mifllinburg has no manufactories, propeily speaking. Her chief industry consists in making carnages and bug gies of which about a dozen shops turn oqt a vast number annnally. We visit ed several of these establishments, were much pleased with the work, and all the time ready to accept a present of a nice buggy or phaeton ; but to our sor row we must confess that selfishness is not utterly extinct even in Mifllinburg. NEWS FROM BRUSH. More rain is needed. Ampin preparations are made to hon or our heroic dead on Decoration day. Maj. Forster of Bollefoute, is to be the orator. A grand time is anticipated. The west Susquehanna Classis of tho Reformed church was In session hern from tho 19th to tho 23rd. Besides the ministers many people attended from all parts of the country. Mrs. Sapih J. Gram ley's funeral was very attended. Tho spacious auditorium of tho Luthera t church was tilled to its Utmost capacity. De cendcnt stood very high in tho esteem of the entire community. . Tho grain fields throughout our Valley look very wall, and promise a rich harvest but the Inly crop will be much short of the average. Too dry. Di. L. G. Meyer, of Pardoe, Mercer county, formerly of this place, is here cn a visit. I^uis? News Miscellany. CONCERNING ROAD TAX. —The Su premo Court ot Pennsylvania has h'a cently rendered several flecisons of gen eral interest in the matter of road taxes. The right of farmers to work out their road tax has been generally, if not universally, conceded, supervis ors in a few townships insisting that the tax must be paid in money. At test case has been decided in favor of the tax pavers, and their right to work out the tax distinctly andfinally afflim ed. In other cases collectors of road taxes have claimed a commission on the part worked out, as well as that paul in the county treasury. The Su preme Court decides that all claims for | such commissious should be rejected, I the working out of the tax imposing no labor on the collector or treasurer, but on the supervisors, who is fully paid fo\ bis services.— Ex. . Two neighboring farmers, Henry Reed and Williaui Rhoads, living in the Swutara Valley, about two miles south of Pincgrove, Schulkil county, have been quarreling if late about the poses sion of a tract of land. A few days since Reed took imsossion, though not without a scuffle, and couiiuencd plow ing preparatory to planting com. Rhoads 'then had Reed arrested on a charge of forcible detention and assault and battery, and the latter had to look up bail and enter it before squire Fil bert. Rliaids now availed himself of the opportunity and plowed the field and at night commenced harrowing and sowing oats. Next morning Adam Koble,one of Reed's workmen, inter fered, stopped Rhoads' harrow teariv, unhitched the horses, and was in the act of carrying the harrow out of the field, when Rhoads dealt him a blow with a single tree. Koble dropped the harrow and a struggle ensued, when Rhoads seized a Large corn-cutter and cut and gashed INS opponent in the hand and artn, inflicting several ugly gashes. This settled matters for the time, though the war may be resumed at any moment. No further arrests have been made, but it is quite likely tiie matter will be settled in court. MARRIED.
