SPP.ING MILLS ACADSMY.—Taere is perhaps no better institution of its grade in the stato th in the Spring Mills Academy; and if you have sons to cd n -a r e or to prepare for callege you can hardly d" better than to send them there. See card in another plac. —J. A.

His dwelling house and furni ture store attached were entirely con sumed by the tlamcs, though most of the furniture was saved. Frank sus tains a heavy loss which was only par tially secured by insurance. A BPSY PLACE.— One of the busiest places In Penns Valley is the MILL HEIM MARBLE WORKS, tfine monu ments and elegant head stones are made in the best style of the art and in quick succession. iMie establish ment has earned a reputation for good work and fair dealings second to none in this part of the state, and has a wide spread an I increasing patrouage. tf —Mr. Philip S. Mover last week made Itibirrcis and 9 pounds of flitir from G7 bushels and 40 pounds of wheat—an average of a barrel for every four bushels and fourteen pounds of whea\ Now if any other dusty miller in the state can do better, let him step three paces to the front and announce his full name. The flour was made for J. W. Russel, of Aaronsburg. —Prof. J. 11. Kurzmkn abe's con certs at Mackeyville, Clinton County, last week were a splendid success. llis convention through the week was well attended and his class of singers cousiste.l of the best and fiiest mate rial of Nittany Yallev. The musical performances on Friday and Saturday evenings were rendered with superior efficiency and sent the large audience home a well pleased and satisfied pev pl •. The fame of the Prof, is spread ing rapidly and every community he visits frely acknowledges his proficiency as a teacher and leader of vocal music. —ln these days when disease seems to be afl mt i: the yery air, people should take mod, scrupulous core of their health. Good wholesomd food, moderate work, regular habits, abso lute cleanliness, proper ventilation of houses, a good conscience, pleasant aod even temper, and last but not least —good, warm clothing, such as Lewin, 0" the Philadelphia Branch sells so cheaply, are about the best preventives we know of. If you give strict attention to all these sanitary rtgulatioiis and yet. take sick you will have the comfort to know that it was providential and not the result of your ewn carelessness pr negl< ct. —Our legislature passed at least one good liw last winter, namely that overseers of the poor will hereafter be elected for two years, and that only one wiil be elected each year. Of those elected this sp> ing the one that had the highest vote holds over for two years. In our borough it hits Youy Barter right in the cant re, and it is a comforting thought that such a kind hearted, christian man, who has two broad farms, lots of grain, apples, ta ters and such, and plenty of spondoo lies besides, is bound to take bare of u<* poor fellows for two years to come. Trnely that's a matter to be thankful for. The Musical Convention at Rebersborg. Although our little hamlet is no pro gressive town iu the fullest sense of the word, perhaps owing to a lack of natural resources, yet tho week just j past demonstrated beyond a doubt that her cirizms are sufficiently alive to get up aud support a musical conven tion. The largnjc class of Singers that per haps ever assembled in Centre county was to be seen in the Lutheran church ; here, led by that prince of fellows, ! Prof. .1. A. Weaver. All things seem- ; ed to work together for good during the convention. The weather was j most favorable—petty jealousies were : buried and everybody seemed to work for success as if it were a matter of personal interest. No less than one hundred and eighty-seven class tickets were sold. Freeburg, Adamsburg, Woodward, A.aronsburg, Millheira, Penn Hall, Spring Mills, Centre Hall, Lemont, Madisonburg, Centre Mills, Wolf's Store, Logausville, Salona, Milesburg, Dakota, 111., and other places were represented in the class. It was a week of pleasare and enjoy ment to all, frj.n the little boy to the gray-haired sire, whose spectacles had to be called into requisition to realize benefit and pleasure. The sessions were also well attended by spectators, especially the concert, when the spacious church was filled to its utmost capacity. The financial results are also exceed ingly flattering, the proceeds being up wards of $175., thus fully realizing the object of the Committee who worked so vigorously for its sucess. MEMBER.

She organized an im provement party of one, got herself a knitting machine and went towork her selfat knitting. She soon found that she got more work than one machine could do, and she bought another, and another, until now the runs quite a number of machines aud has a regular full-fledged knitting factory, and is do ing a profitable business. She did not first hold meetings and adopt a consti tution and by-laws, make speeches, ask to be exempted from taxation and talk of "busin ess" and "enterprise" and damn the town and every wealthy man in it tor not investing his money in "home enterprise;" bur sue made up her mind what to do and then went to work and kept to Work, and the re- Suit has been profitable to herself and gratifying to her friends and neighbors And that is the only way business can be dono Successfully.— Selinsgrocc Times. —List of traverse jurors drawn for the Second Monday of March 18^2: T..

WASHINGTON LETTER. WAHIIIBOTON, I>. C., Feb. —, 1882. Tw< years :RO Senator KoScoC Coukllnp was the recognized leader of the Republican party In New York and Chester A. Arthur, the depos ed Collector of the Port of New York, one of his lieutenants. Yesterday President Arthur sent to the Senate the name of Mr. Conkllng, a private citizen, for confirmation as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. When the sheet containing his niul Mr. Sargent's nomination was passed rouna and read in the Senate, it created quite a stir, as everybody was surprised, especially at the nomination of Mr. Conkling. There is consid erable speculation as to whether Mr. Conkling will accept or decline. It is said he was not communicated with on the subject, and some of his friends think he will decline. Should he do so it is regarded as among the strong proi>- abilftiet that Senator Edmunds will be appoint ed. Up to the last moment the friends of Mr. Sargent insisted that he was to be made Secre tary of iho Interior, and they now say that this was the programme recently. Later in the afternoon it was stated at the Capitol, by those who as sumed to know, that Mr. Conk ling was formally tendered the ap pointment on the Supreme Bench before it wa* made public, and that he signified hid accept ance. if this he true, there is no doubt of his confirmation by a unanimous vote. Gen. Grant will arrive at the White House, on his visit to President Arthur, the first week in March. The exact date of his arrival is not known at the White This visit will be of about a week's durnt'on. If lie is placed on the retired list under the bill which passed the Senate yesterday, his pay will be three-fourths of ♦l3.r>oo, the pay of the general of the army. A retired officer of the army has not all of the perquisites—such as commutation for fuel, quarters. &c.—enjoyed by officers en the list. ' Lent being upon us, the votaries of pleasure are taking a well earnPd rest, and until the season is over there will l>e nothing In the way of social events worth of chronicling. Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the female lawyer of Senator Ben. Hill notoriety, is gaining con siderable notice in legal circles: her business; is rapidly increasing; and frequently she Is found on cases of considerable importance, and lias demonstrated the fact that as an opponent her ability has been mufth maligned. She goes a bout the city on a tricycle, defying public crit icism, and may be seen any day, rain or shine gliding along our smooth asphalt; pavements to and from court, the cynosure of all eyes.

W.H.B. News Miscellany. ii.. That Terrible Coal Oil Lamp. •*i ■ WILLtAMSUORT, Feb. 21.—A terri ble coal-oil accident occurred in this city last evening about half-past nine o'clock, through which Mrs. Jacob J. Walters lost her life. Mr 9. Walter and her daughter were sitting at a table near a lamp, when the oil took fire. The daughter, in attempting to throw the lamp out into the yard, caused her clothing to become ignited, when the mother in attempting to extinguish the flames also beca me enveloped and before asistance arrived her ciothingwas almost entirely burned from her body. She lingered in gr eat agony until a few minutes past ten o'clock this morning, when death came to her relief, she be- ing conscious almost to the Inst min ute. The only part of her person that escaped the flames were her feet and a portion ot her facb. Koth bars were burned to a cridp. The daughter's life was saved through the exertions bf her mother, her injuries ndt being of a na ture sufficient to causb death. She is badly burned on the side and aboiit the breast. Mrs. Walters waA thirty-si* years of age and leaves a husband and three Children to mourn her tetriWe death. Both Parties to a Duel Killed. GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Februray IT. —Senors Morelo and Sevorito, rival editors, fdught a duel here yesterday with pistDls. Both were accompanied by their seconds and a few friends. Both fired and both fell dead simulta neously. MRS. GAKFIKLD lias received from Mrs. Scovllle, the sister of Guiteau, a letter beseeching her to intercede in behalf of the assassin. The gist of the plea is that the man who did the shooting was crazy. The conclusion is: "Forgive, even as Christ shall for give us all." A Warning From the Gallows. Frank Rumberger, one of the mur derers of old Mr. Troutman in Dau phin county now sits in jail waiting to be hung. He has this to say of bad com pany and bad looks: "As a warning to young men and boys from hi* years old to manhood, I would say beware and shun evil com panlr ns of all kinds—the low in char acter of both men and women. I owe my misfortune to-day to an evil-mind ed woman. My first theft was when I was six years old. I got the idea of be coming a burglar and highwayman from reading dime novels."
