If these eighty-three remain faithful to their YOWS and lead consistent, christian lives, what a blessing they may be to themselves, their families, the com munity and the church at large. How careful and industriously should every congregation cherish and encourage, in struct and develop new converts. Are christians generally alive and active to their duties on this line ? IMPORTANT.— To those contemplat ing marriage—that is those who soon expect to be married—that "means such as expect to go to housekeeping soon after they are married—it is yery im- X>ortant to know just where to go for good and cheap furniture. W. R. Camp's at Centre Hall, is exactly such a place. lie makes the best kind of furniture and sells really cheap. "Whether you need a Chamber suit, par lor suit, lounges, chairs, or any other article in his line, you can do as well as anywhere in the county. Just try Mr. Camp, and you will find that we tell you the square truth in the matter. 2t —Last week we had such an unusual and full assortment of weather that all classes and conditions ought to have been able to suit themselves, and yet people were unhappy and disposed to grumble. On Monday it was intensely cold and a ilerce storm prevailed all day. Tuesday and Wednesday, still cold but quiet. Thursday morning the earth was covered with the smoothest coat of ice ever seen iu this section. Many/cf( it severely. Friday, mild, with a bright, sunny afternoon. Sat urday—a beautiful white snow but it didn't last long and soon turned to mud. On Tuesday last an eight-inch snow fell and yesterday at the time of our writing everybody seemed to be out en joying the good sleighing. I —The tall slim spire on the Luther an church at Centre Ilall, Buccumbed to the fierce storm of Sunday the 22 nd Jauuary. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon it came down with a tremen dous crash, and the violence of the wind was so great that the spiye was carried over the roof without touching it, except at the eaves, where about twelve feet of the cornice is badly shat tered. The spire broke just above the belfoy, leaving about 1 2 to 15 feet to stand. The pait that came down measures about SO feet. The entire height of steeple from the ground was 130 feet. The church was built s >uie seven years ago, and withstood many storms in th.lt time, but the hurricane on th at Sunday exceeded everything in that line over experienced in Centre Hall. We lay before our readers this week, in the form of a supplement, the an nual county statement as prepared and authoriz dby the county commissionss. Four successive supplements, like the one issued to-day, are to follow. It is the uiost comprehensive and satisfacto ry financial exhibit ever published by any board of commisioners of Centre county, and will be placed into thehands of every tax-payer of the county as nearly as jKissible, by the several papers The board deserve much credit for lib erality and business tact, HI effecting an arrangement with the newspaper by which all parties and classes that are taxed for public expenses, may have the annual county account in a con venient form: the more so, because this supplement system, now used in Cen tre county for the first time, enables all the papers to give their readers the us ual amount and variety of reading mat ter, which, under the old system would l>e crowdidout for four weeks in suc ceession. We will have some comments to make ou tho statement itself, next week. —The following, which we clip from the Bellefonte Repuplican, proves but too plainly that there is no love wasted between brother Tutcn and the tax man of that town. True, tax collect ors are a grasping, heartless sett as a rule, and a not veiy popular class of officials, but they are a necessary evil that can not be dispensed with as the world goes, and the lest way is to hu mor them and keep their good will as much as possible. Really, we wouder why Tuten is so mad over the tax chap: Tr ere goes a Man. He wears glussps and carries a bundle of Papers in his Hand. These are tax Receipts, and the man is a Tax Collector. His name is William Jones, though some mean people call him Billy Skin Flint. He chews Plug Tobacco, aud don't care much for Public Opinion. 110 is going over to Cheapside to collect a man's Taxes. He is a Brave Man and if the man don't pay him he will nail his uame on a Shade Tree, s > the people will know all about it. The Collector doesn't teach a Sunday-school class and was never tripped up by his Conscience. He will grow old s>me time and die. Wouldn't you like t J b? a C .Hector ? B3LLEFONTE LETTER. Bellefoute, Pa., Feb. 2nd, 18S2. We have been having quite an inter- 1 eating session of court tnis term and Millheim people hive been prominent , i In the case of lLm. Fred Kurtz. \s i HOD. W. K. Alexander the jury render ed a verdict for the plaintiff of $39.39, the full amount claimed. The action was broght to recover pay for printing and advertising done f.,r the defendant during his ciodid i*y several years ago. The d-n'M.ict /iinl wis w.iitol for with no little anxiety by politicians gener ally, and some solicitude by publishers of newspapers. The precedent estab lished will have some effect, I think, on contracts made with editors, and why should they not be paid for their services? In the matter of common wealth vs Millhei.n Election Board, the grand jury iguored the bill, and or dered the prosecutor to pay the costs, and the same result was reached in the case of commonwealth vs J. 11. Reif snyder. It is thought more than one half of the voters of your town were in attendance as jurvmen or witnesses. The next lecture, under the auspices of the Y. M. C, A., will be delivered by Wm. I. Marshall, Esq.' Fitchburg, Mass., Feb. 13. on the Yellowstone National Park. This park is the largest in the world, containing over 2,0 0,000 acres—larger than either Dela ware or Rhode Island. Americans are accustomed to having only the best of every thing and this Park will add one more feather to the tail of that proud bird—the American Eagle.

F.Kreamer and Mr 11. T. Z rby let their e s>rn homes for the west, to pay a dying visit to their many friends and see the country. They took the cars at Bellefonte at 6.40. A. M. on said diy a id arrived at Elkart, lud. the following day. The ft rst Pennsylva nia!) family whose kind hospitality they shared, was Aaron Kee.i's in Elkart, son of IVter Keen, who formerly resid ed near M illheim. The following Penn sylvanians th ey visited on their west ern journey: Perry Gates, Mr. Gramly, 11. Kreamer, Samuel Hoover, Daniel and George Wiupard, Peter Keen, Samuel |Plotner, Mr, Walters, Benj. Stover, Newton llosterman and John Keen, all of near Edwardsburg, Mich., Francis Fleisher, 11. Horner and Jona than Zerby, Berrien Springs, Mich. Our visiting friends found these fami lies en j >ying health and prosperity to such a degree that old Pennsylvania with its hills, mountains and rocks has no more charms for them. The travelers then set out for Men dota. La Salle Co., 111., where Clark Herman and G. Warren Keen have their homes, and met them in the full enjo/un it of life with no reason forcom. plaint. After having spe nt a few days in that vicinity, thy continued their trip taking in all the sights on the way- They report La Salle, Lee and Bureau, Counties of a deep gravel soil, very pro ductive and easily cultivated. Land sells in said counties at about 60 dol lors per acre. It is only an ordinary thing in that locality to see from 60 to 525 head of cattle on one farm. One man owning 2200 acres in Bureau county has over 500 head of cattle, over 100 head of horses and a proportionate number of hogs. His annual net income is about $ 10,0<>0. Many farmeis have from 9 to 10 thousand bushels of corn. G. W. Keen having a four horse farm raised 'ast summer 6510 bushels, not" withstanding the unfavorable season That part of the west the travellers ad mired very much, and especially the customs of the good German settlers who treat their guests with wine and all sorts of delici cies. Other places vis ited were Freeport, Ccdarville, Onego, Polo, and Brookviile. Daniel Kreimer s the owner of two fine farms, such as Pen ns valley c.in hardly ptoduce. The country between Brookviile and Onega is like unto Pennsy Ivania with hills and bluffs covered with timber. They re. port those parts of the West, which they visited, dotted with lamilies from east proving that "Westward the star of the empire takes its way." Many families do rot lave as good ami ex pensive buldiings there as we br.ve here hut they are willing to bear and forbear wbile they do not live in luxury as to houses, the majority certainly do as to Cask. Our party returned from their trip safely a few days ago and are still praising the country and people who have so kindly entertained them. Clippings From Brush Valley. The propriety of vaccination is under discussion. Our people have of late been replen ished their ice houses. It is rumored that we are to have a Musical Convention iu tho near future. All right. Several cases of scarlet fever are re ported from various parts of the valley. A son of Wm. Houtz, while return ing from school a few evenings since, fell and broke Ins limo just below the knee. We have no further particulars. Some of our young men and even boys are charged with carrying con cealed weapons. Be careful, boys, some one may fall a victim to your improper and unlawful couduct. Election day will soon be here, and with its approach the laudation of self is manifesting itself quite extensively —of course our good people endure it bravely. OCCASIONAL. News Miscellnny. Guiteau can not be hung much be fore the middle of next June,as the law provi des that a person convicted of murder could not be sentenced until thirty days after the beginning of the term of court following that which he was found guilty. This delay is for the purpose of giving the prisoner the benefit of all forms of law to prove his innocence. The next term of court begins April 4, but Guiteau cannot be sentenced until March 4, and he would hardly be given less than thirty days to provide for his death. It is there- fore, probable tbat tho assassin will continue to be a conspicuous figure for Ave months to come. LYNCHED IN KANSAS. A Pennsylvania Man Sets Fire to a House and Murders His Wifo. Locu HAVEN, PH., Jan. 18.—Intel ligence has recently reached this place that George Pfeiff w was hanged hy lynch law in the State of Kansas, a few weeks ago. Pfeiffer was raised in tho vicinity of Howard, Centre county, fifteen miles from this place, where his father, who was a resectable farmer, died about two years ago. His mother is still living to grieve over her son's lamentable end. George was married to u Miss Retail, whose father is a well to-do farmer in Brush Valley. Some five years ago he lived in tho borough of Howard, in a houso belonging to Kev. Nathan J. Mitchell. The house burned down under circumstances which excited suspicion, having his household goods insured for much more than their value. As soon as tie eecur ed the insurance money ho left with his family tor the west. Last spring his wife died, and he brought her remains to her Centre county home for burial. Last fall detectives ariested him at Driftwood, Cameron county, on a charge of robbing the mails in Kansas, and he was convey id back to that State for trial, and letters and newspa per publications received at Howard, report that he made a full confession to the officers who had him in charge, not only of the mail robberies, but also c< nftwsed the crimes of arson and mur der, stating that he set lire to Mr. Mitchell's house, lor the purpose of getting the insurance money on his furniture with which to go west, and that he poisoned his wife to obtain ten thousand dollars life iusurance which lie had on her. Tne practical business view the jieople of Kansas took of the matter was that it was useless to take up the time of the courts, after such a confession. Pfeiffer was summarily ex ecuted. It is said that he left a large safe, such as they used to use in ex press cais, with his mother, which has never beeu opened; it is very heavy, and since his. crimes have come 'o light is suposed to contain gold. George was well raised, was not sus pected of evil practices before he left this country, and it is surprising how rapidly he went to the bad. II is career has plunged two respectable families in to deep sorrow. Here are two questions which are startling in their directness and point but which will be worth considering by all who are lidding their money with au avaricious grip. They are the suggestions of a New York paper: "Mr. A has just died worth £lO,- 000,<>00. When he meets Gjd he will have two haid questions to answer, uainely: First, how did you get the money ? Secondly, what did you do with it? MARRIED. On the 21st ult., at the residence of Mr. Jacob Brung.vrd, Kebersburg. by Kev. A. K. Zimmerman, Mr.lra Bruugard to Miss Ellen M. Snook.
