ALMOST A FIRE.— Last week Mr.
Allison Miller nearly bad a fire. A
large hoi) was already b >rned into the

iust.
We learn that a nnmbor of our'town

gcr; Vice Prtsulent— Frank Knarr;

ser, H. W. Krcamer and H. E. Duck

ket at this meetiug and shares sold as
high as 20$ per ct. premium. The
business of the Association is in a
prosperous coudition. New shares iu
Co. 8 will be sold until next monthly
meeting.
—Charley Sturgis dvics business on a
rush. He goes to Lewisburg, buys out
that first class Watch and Jewelry
Store of Capt. J. P. Brooke, returns
and moves his family down—all within
the short space of a few days. We feel
very sorry to lose Charley, but such
are the ways of btisinejs.
Charley will continue to cany on the
Watch and Jewelry business in Mill
heim as heretofore. Mr. P. 11. Musser
will have charge of the shop. All work
entrusted to him will be jjuarantced.
The continued patronage of the public
is respectfully solicited. 2t
—A flue line of Family Bibles, Pre
centatiou Bibles, Photograph Albums
Velvet Frames, French Vases, Beaut i
1 Scrap Pictures, Paper Boxes, and a
great variety of Fancy Goods generally
fplendid S. School, Day School and
Visiting and other Cards—all very
sbeap, at the Journal Store. if
—Gust Deininger soon expects to en
ter the lecture field. His subject will
te Snyder County; its climate, soil,
natural resources, habits of the natives,
advantages for immigrants, and so
forth. Gust was down there last week
ou a fohing expedition. He didn't
bring any fish—says the rascals wouldn't
bite, but that his geographical, histor
ical and general knowledge of the coun
try and its people were vastly Improved
—and inteuds that mankind shall share
the benefits of that knovvledja.
—lf you can suit you: self at home
you should never gw away to buy vour
supplies. If your own business men
and mechanics offer to sell you (roods
and wures as good and as cheap as you
can buy elsewhere, you are in duty
bound to support them. Oa this prin
cipal Mr. W. It. Camp, of Centre Ilall,
is fully entitled to y.iar patronage, lie
is a square man and makes go>d, neat
work. You ueed not go out of your
own valley for furuiture. Camp can
furnish you as well and as cheaply as
anybody. Try biuo. 2t
—llad two Jacks in town last week
at one and the same time. Not your
common kiud of jicks, either, but real
sleek, nice 1 >okiug auimals. Tbey
answer to the nam** respectively, of
Jack Love and Jack Spangler. The o~
pinion of our people regarding these
chaps, as far ai the returns are in, is,
that they are goodlooking fellows whe
washed and shaven, that tbey can eat
a9 heartily and do as good a day's work
—if they bate any weakness in that
direction—as the next two Jacks. They
may call again.
—ln these days when disease seems
to be afloat iu the very air, people
should take most scrupulous care of
their health. Good wholesome food,
moderate work, regular habits, abso
lute cleanliness, proper ventilation of
houses, a good conscience, pleasant
and even temper, and last but not least
—good, warm clothing, such as Lewin,
of the PhiMelphia Bran else Is so cheap
ly, are about the best preventives we
know of. If you give strict attention
to all these sanitary regulations and
yet take sick, you will have the com
fort to know it was providential and
not the result of your own carelessness
or neglect.
—Next Tuesday the local election
will be held for township and b irougb
officers, and it is the duty of every citi
zen to see to it that good competent
men are chosen to transact our public
business. Our local taxes amount to
much more in the aggregate than our
state and county taxes, and we need
men in office who will use the public's
money to the best possible advantage
for the public good. A town council
that will enact wise ordinances and
enforce them, constables [and burgesess
who will do their duty to maintain or
der. School directors who have the
well being of our children and schools
at heart, and who will direct. Over
seers that will oversee , election officers
that will electy auditors that will audit.
In short, good practical men, wbo will
do their duties.
In saying our say on the matter we
have not the slightest wish to reflect
on auv of our present officers, but have
in view solely the wellfare, improve
ment, good order and general prosperi
ty of the community.

UNCLE TOM.
A Big Law Suit With a Small
Result.
Little suits at law, in which 'squires
and Fr.rkelstceher largely figure, are
rather a common occurence in Mill
heim ; but last week we bad the rare
luxury of a fullgrown lawsuit. The
elements of this suit were: Ist, three
men who had a difference of opinion
regarding the cutting and hauling of
some lumber. 2nd, two full pledged
lawyers from Bellrforte. 3rd, three
arbitrators. 4th, some twenty to
twenty-four witnesses. The parties
had a day of it in Bellefoute some tune
ago, and two days iu Millbeim. The
coats exclusive of lawyers'fees, amouut
to sls'J, pro)ably more. Now what do
you think, reader, all this expense, la
bor and agony brought forth ? Judge
rneut for defendant for $2.44 ! Who
wouldn't have a law suit ?
—An organ is a fine and delicate
piece of furniture, in a house, school
or church. But it wants to be handled
carefully, eveu tenderly, else it may
not ouly get out of tuue itself, but
may cause discoid in an entire congre
gation and community. Tbis is the sa<L
experience of the Presbyterian con
gregation at I'ine Glen, in the upper
end of Ceutre county, and it is by no
meaus the only congregation whose
peace and hArmooy was seriously dis
turbed by the inevitable organ. It re
quires much skill, patience and grace
to manage the congregational organ
successfully, and that's tchat's the mat
ter— sometimes.
—We are glad to announce that the
Scientific American came out of the late
fire In New York, like the fabled Phoe
nix, with renewed life. The subscrip
tion lists, cccouut books, patent re
cords, patent drawings, and corre
spondence were preserved in massive
fire-proof safes. The printing of the
Scientific American and Supplement was
done in another building; consequently
the type, plates, presses, papers, ect.,
were unharmed, and no interruption of
business was occasioned.
The new Scientific American offices
are located at 261 Broadway, corner of
Warren Street, a very central and ex
cellent situation. The offices are ad
mirably chosen for active business.
Here, in addition to the issuing of their
interesting publications, Messrs. Munn
A Co., aided by trained examiners
and draugbtsmen, prepare specifi
cations and drawings for American
Foreign patents. If any of our readers
should happen to make a new discovery
(we hope every one of them may do so,
and gain a fortune,) tbey have only to
drop a line to Munn A Co., 251 JBroad
way, New York, who will reply at
once, without charge, 'stating wheth
er the invention is probably novel and
patentable. A handbook of instructions
with full particulars, will also be sent,
free. Messrs. Munn & Co., have bad
over thirty-five years experience in the
business.

Mr. shook was born In Centre Co., Pa., Dec.

In April of the same vear he moved to Gull

In the decease of William Shook Guilford
township has lost one of its estimable citizens,
the neighborhood a kind and obligltu man. the

"Sweet may thy rest be evermore.
From pain and sorrow free.
You ure not lost—Just gone before,
