TIIE DOCTOR STATS.—It affords us

many professional and person hi friends
of Dr. Miugle that he expects to stay

among us.
—Our neighbor of the Reporter was

GOOD PROPERTY AT PRIVATE
SALE.—The subscriber offers a good
property in Rebersburg at private sale,
at a moderate price and reasonable
•terms. It is well suited for a wagon
maker, having a good shop thereon. A

ness here, as there is no wagon shop in
town at this tiens. For particulars a -

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.

—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.

erlck, Esq., Mr. John Hoover, to Miss Susan
Sanders, both of Peon township.

On the 25th ult„ in Porter, township, Mr
