SAMUEL FRANK. THE BROCKERHOEP HOUSE. This popular hotel has recently been so thoroughly improved that scarcely anything old remains but the walls. Costly carpets, splendid furniture, fine papering and painting, have entirely transformed the whole house. Every thing is in exquisite tastes. The com bination is most charming. But the chief attractions under the new ar rangement are the gentlemanly propri etor, Mr. C. G. McMillen, and his obliging and efficient clerk, Mr. John McOmber. Both are experienced ho telists and gentlemen of refinement and culture besides. They understand how to conduct a first class hotel and make their guests feel thoroughly at home. Without doubt the New Brockerhoff is the most complete public house in Cen tral Pennsylvania, and we predict that it will be largely patronized. —One of the additional attrßctions of Prof. Kurzenknabe's convention is the orchestral music, which intersperses the exercises of each day. The orchestra does excellent playing and fairly de lights its hearers with their sweet, melodic strains. —Our new board of county oommis sioners liaye made the following ap pointments : W. Miles Walker, Clerk; D. F. Fortuey, Attorney; J. 11. Dob bins, M. IX, Physician to Jail; Bartrim Galbraith, Janitor to Court House. The old board had previously appoint ed A. G. Kreamer, Mercantile Apprais er. —Mr. Jacob Wolf has returned from the west, after an absence of over three mo nths, spent mostly in Kansas and Illinois. He visited many old friends and acquaintances, is delighted with the kind treatment received everywhere, bu l thinks that old Bennsylfahnftny is about as good a place to stay as any other. HEAVY Loss.—Our friend Hon. W. K. Alexander sustained an almost ir reparable loss last week. lie was out on the mountain chopping wood when a messenger came for him to doctor up a siek colt. William made haste to visit the patient which had in the mean time recove red, and thus he lost a half day at his work. Ho has the sympa thies of the entire community. —Prof. J. 11. Kurzenknabe's music al convention in town is now fairly n? der way, and there is a goodly num ber of singers present. Some of the finest music is being executed and the class is composed of some of the best talent in these valleys. The concert which is to finish the occasion on Sat urday evening promises to be one of tho grandest treats ever witnessed iu this vicinity. WHITCOMF,— 'The boss clothier of Lock Haven, again has something new to say to you in another column. Whitcomb is as successful in busi ness as he is enterprising, and as en terprising as successful. He under stands the value of printer's ink, treely and judiciously used. Head the new announcement, for it is to your intei est to do so. If you buy of Whitcomb once you will go there again and again. Fact, Our friend Rev. J. G. Shoemaker came nobly to our relief this week just when we needed help so much— with a long and interesting letter. The reverend gentleman preaches fine ser mons and writes splendid letters—only he winds up this time a little 'abruptly by requesting TO have his JOURNAL sent to West Alexandria, Preble coun ty, Ohio, whence ho is s >on going. Was is letz Jiiil Ktnsas, Htrt Pfarrer t —The-e is no better place in Penn's Valley, or for that n fitter in CeDtre county, to buy furniture, than W. R. Camp's, at Centre Hall. Mr Camp un derstands his business thoroughly und is a square man to deal with. llis furniture is made of the best material, well put together, neat and tasty in de sign and ofjexcellent finish. If you need anything in his lire you would do well to give him a call, and examine his stock and prices before going else where. —The slate roof on the new church is complete, as far as it can b* made for the present. It is a splendid job of work and looks well. Mr. Duan Neff, of Milton, had the contract and the work reflects credit on .the mechanic. He has mucli experience in the busi ness and is a reliable man. We pre dict that slate roofs will become more general in a short time as the costs are only about one third more than shingle roofs. Read Mr. Neff's adver tisement in another column. The Philadelphia Tunes always hits the nail squarely on the head, every stroke—whether iu matters of news or matteis of opinion. The following lit tle tap is a "just splendid" specimen in the latter line, and it makes us poor "country editors" feel. so proud and happy : The Milheim Journal has entered up on tie fifty-sixth year of its life and it is as sprightly and fresh as it is possible for it to ent management six years, during which time independence and enter prise have been its chief characteristics. A GENEROUS BOARD.— The Board cf Managers of the Miliheim, Nittany and Bald Eigle Turnpike Company did a generous act at their recent annual meeting. The La theran congregation of Miliheim owed the company a con siderable bill for toll, and petitioned the board to have the account donated. The managers, instead of voting the amount out of the treasury, paid it out of their own pockets, Bravo, breth en 1 such acts deserve honorable men tion. Tbc f olowing are the the names of the gentlemen composing the board: A.{H. Best, President, Conrda Long, General Manager, Andrew Krape, B. F. Shafer, Samuel Shafer, Emanuel Harter, —The Teacher y s Journal , published daily during the late session of the In stitute, by Messrs D. M. Lieb and J. R. VanOrmer, is before us. It was conducted with marked ability and proved an entire success financially and otherwise. The teachers of the couaty are much indebtod to the publishers of the spicy little Journal for the full and explicit account of the doings of the Institute. And indeed we feel very grateful for being relieved of the ne cessity of publishing the lengthy pro „ ceedings. News INisccllnny. It is said that the undertakers and roubledealers of this State are going to ask to have a law passed that no man can re-marry until the expenses of his wife's funeral are paid.—-Ex. A number of farmers report to us that they have been swindled by pur chasing a patent churn, the agent of which is now traveling through our country. Thoso who ;ln\ve been vie tiro iced report the churn a swindling of the first water, and that the agent deserves a rough reception. It would be well for neighboring papers to book up their subscribers in regard to this churn cheat.— Ltwisburg [Journal. SIMPLE CURE.—-If tho following, which was written to the Liverpool Mercury , be true, there is nothing very alarming in (mall-pox. Mr. lline says: 41 lam very willing to risk my reputation a9 a public man if the worst cases of small-pox cannot he cur ed in three days, simply by the use of cream of tartar. One ounce of cream of tartar dissolved in a pint of water, drank at intervals when cold, is a certain never-failing remedy. It has cured thousands, never leaves a mark never causes blindness, and avoids tedious,"lingering illness." A Severe But Sure Cure. ELLSWORTH Kan., January 3. W. E. Graham, who killed, robbed and burned Philip Egly, at Venango, Ells worth county, was hung by a mob in front of the couit house last night. W. B. Rose would have met the same fate but was taken fi om the jail and seouied by the sheriff during the ex citemeut. A Five-Year-Old Murderer. SPRINGFIELD, MO., January 3. During a quarrel between two littlo children, named Williams and Gates aged seven and live years, respectively, the younger of the two secured a revol ver belonging to one of the elder mem bers of the family, and, discharging the weapon at his little adversary, kill ed him iustantly. Heavy Snow in the South. PETKRSBURG, Va., Jan. I.—Snow fell here uearly the entire clay. South and east of this city it has fallen to the depth of ten inches, delaying all trains in those directions. Sioux CITY, la., Dec. 31.— The Missouri River closed last night. The ice is gorged ggainst the bridge of the St. Paul and Omaha Railway, taking away 300 feet of the structure. It will take a week for repairs. FRIGHTFUL DEATH. The Coiler of a Steam Thresher Ex plodes, resulting in the Death of one Man and the Destruction of the Barn and Crops. From the Miffl inburg Telegraph. On last Friday afternoon as Messrs. Meekley & Kitffer were engaged in threshing grain with their steam thresher, at the barn of Mr. Sol'n Wal ter, in Chillsquaque Twp., .Nortli'd Co., the boiler bursted, throwing fire into the barn, as well as terribly wounding Mr. D avid Kieffer, one of the mana gers of the machine. The fact of his being badly injured was not immedi ately known, hence all the other work men were intent on saving the live stock, which, being accomplished, they discovered Mr. Kieffer lying near the barn terribly cut and bruised and hor ribly burned and life extinct. An in quest was held and a verdict rendered in accordance with those facts. Mr. Kieffer was aged about 22 years; was a single man. Late in the evening the body was conveyed to the home of his widowed mother in W bite Deer Twp., this county. We also learn that Mr. Meekley was considerably though not seriously burned. Another gentleman by the name of Johnson was severely kicked by a horse when removing the animal from the barn. Besides the barn and crops all the surrounding out build! rgs were dißtroyed. If insured or not, at this writiDg we have not learned. MARRIED. On the 25thof December lawt, by Jacob Etn erlck, Esq., Mr. John Hoover, to Miss Susan Sanders, both of Peon township.
