missionary spirit and the collection of
funds, and the social, literary and re
ligious culture of its members. The
society meets on the second Monday
evening of each moueh in the Evangel j
ical church. Every member is expect
ed to contribute monthly according to
abi'ity. After the society gets into
good working order they expect to have
free public entertainments every three

A BUST PLACE.— One of the busiest
places m Penns Valley is the MILL
UEIM MARBLE WORKS. Fine monu
ments and elegant head stones are
made in the best style of the art and
in quick succession. The 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 and increasing patronage.
tf
PARSONAOB VISITATION.—During
the lust fortnight there have been oc
casional visits made at the Reformed
parsonage, at and pack
ages and groaning baskets have found
their way into the kitchen and pantry,
to be emptied of their contents, remind
ing the inmates very forcibly that, af
ter all, they were not angels, but might
like the rest of mortals, make good use
of the solid comforts of life. And to
crown all, a regular invasion by a bas
ket army was made upon the parsonage
on last Saturday, in broad day light,
while the pastor and his wife had been
lured to the other end of town to take
dinner. On iat urn home they
found tie main apartments of the
house iu posession of this unceremon
ious host, guarding two tables loaded
with useful articles, too numerous to
mention. The whole party looked very
serious indeed, and withal as innocent
as possible; but we thought we noticed
a good deal of merriment and roguish
ness lurking behind tlie disguise, as we
entered. No doubt they rather enjoyed
our confusion and aw kward movements.
So it goes: there stems no end to
trouble: but our ouly trouble this time
was to find suitable room and store a
way the flour, potatoes and apples, the
butter, eggs, lard and hams; the sugar,
coffee A fruit; the dry goods, hardware,
Ac. There were a few little packages,
(and who does not know that these
sometimes contain the most precious
things,) which almost escaped our no
tice. There was no difficulty in find
ing room for the contents of these lat
ter,—there is always room left in a
preacher's purse. We have received
lately from different members of the
charge, in a more private way, some ef
these little packages which are so
handy to take along.
Now for all these generous gifts,
large and small, which we can assure
all supply a pressing want, we feel
very grateful, and return our sincerest
thanks. And may the good Lord of
heaven and earth, whose stewards they
are, multiply to these doners twofold
of his temporal and spiritual 'blessings,
is the prayer of
The pastor A his wife.
—For reasons satisfactory to us, but
which are not proper to state here, we
will not reply to the unwarranted and
far fetched attack which a certain
Millheim lady made on us in a com
munication to the Centre Reporter of
last week. We have Jived here for
nearly thirty-nine years, every one
ought to know us. and we are willing
that our cliaracter and reputation shall
take care of themselves " Reden ist Sil
her Sehweigcn ist Gold."
—The Bellefonte Democrat gives the
following pointed article on the vulgar
but common vice of profanity. It is a
fit word in season and there are other
places than Bellefonte that might profit
by the admonition:
An exchange says that under the
Act of 1794, any person is liable to ar
rest for profane swearing. The fine is
67 cents for every profane oath. Now,
there are great efforts being made to
supress the liquor traffic and vice gen
erally, but we do not hear of any ar
rests for violations of this law. There
is scarcely an evening but profane
swearing is indulged in by half grown
boys standing on the corners and
squirting tobacco juice on the pave
meuta. No one seems to molest them,
and yet the practice is one of the most
senseless, and at the same time degrad
ing, that we know of. The poor man
who inflames himself with lightning is
to be pitied, but the man who in his
sober senses takes God's Holy Name
in vain is wholly destitute of those en
nobling traits which constitute the
true christian gentleman, and!his so
ciety should be shunned by all who
have respect for themselves and moral
ity, If every young man especially, in
Bellefonte, was fined for using profane
language it would amount to a good
round sum in the course of a year, for
! we must confess the practice is not ex
' ceptional; it is entirely too general.
The infidel does not profane God's
j Holy Name, because he does not be
; lleve in God, and because it is shame
ful for one who professes to believe in
Him to do so. The practice should be
broken up and the only way we know
of to do so, is to enforce the law.
—Those of our subscibers who
change their post office addresses by re
moving to other places will please
notify us of the fact. 3t

A CHINESE POW-WOW.— The Chi
nese had a grand New Year's pow
wow in their temple in this city yester
day afternoon. Their big god, decked
in all the finery of tinsel and gilt paper
was mounted behind the altar, on
which were smoking roast pigs and
burning candles. Worshippers were
constantly coming iu, saying their
prayers, making their hows, contribut
ing their 44 cath" and passing out.
There were no regular aei vices, or
rather the services, iu the shape of
music by a band of men armed with
fiddle?, drums and gongs went right a
long. The Celestials all said it was
•'belly good;" give "plenty good luck
next year."
Two Double Funerals in one
Family.

Two of the little ones became suddenly
ill with scarlet fever, died on the - same
day, and were buried In one grave.
Within a few days the remaining two
children were smitten with tne, same
disease, died within a few hours of

on Sunday last.
A FAT BOY'S DEATH.
David Navarro, Who Weighed 730
Pounds, Succumbs to the Small-
Pox.
————
1
PITT3BURG, March 7.
David Navarro, the fat boy who was
on exhibition at a museum in this city
for weeks, died at the Municipal Hos
pital this morning. The boy's parents
refused to have him vaccinated on Feb
uary 26 and he ontr acted the small
pox from an attendant at the museum,
from which he died. Navarro was
born in Rochelie, 111., June 22 1861.
He weighed seven and three-quarters
pounds when he was born and seven
hundred thirty pounds before d ath.
His measurement was ninety-seven
inches around the waist; around the
chest, seveuty-flve inches; thigh, fifty
seven inches; neck, twenty-four inches.
Navarro was on ex hibition all over the
country. He had handsome features
and as a pet of the ladies. He receiv
ed fifty dollars per week. Some weeks
ago Miss Liizie Glendening, of Alle
gheny, fell violently in love with David
and the fat bo? reciprocated her affec
tions. They were to be married atoo't
ly. His sweetheart spent Sunday with
him. David was buried to-day. Ilis
coffin was six feet eight inches long,
three feet wide and two feet two inches
deep.
What Oomesof Playing Ghost.
A few nights ago Henry "Waters, a
youth, whose home is near Younjs
town, Ohio, was aroused from his
sleep by something in the room. lie
sat bolt upright in bed. The moon
shone through a window, and as young
Waters looked towards the light be saw
a tall figure in ghostly attire slowly ap
proaching. He spoke, but the ghost
made no reply. Then he grasped his
reyolyer, and thus armed and thus em
boldened said: "If you're a man I kill
you; if you're a ghost this won't hurt
you." He pulled the trigger and the
report came, but as with quick motion
the ghost lifted up an arm Waters
heard the bullet rebound agaiust the
headboard of the bed. This sent a
cold chill through the youth, but he
discharged his revolver again and a
gain, and then, wild with fear, hurled
at the intruder. At that moment the
ghost threw off his disguise, several
other parties to the joke came laughing
in and lights wero struck. The mer
ry-makers had drawn the bullets from
the pistol, leafing enough powder to
make a report, and at each discharge
the play-ghost had thrown a bullet a
gainst the headboard. All this the
practical jokers expected Waters to en
joy, as he was a jovial fellow, but they
found him first dazed, then incoherent,
then ravlug—us his parents fear, a
maniac,
POLICYHOLDERS ALARM
ED*
A New and Interesting Phase of the
Graveyard Insurance Business.
READING, March 9.—Quite an ex
citement prevails in graveyard insu
rance circles in eastern Pennsylvania,
owing to the fact that a large number
of suits are to be entered against poli
cy holders in the defunct mutual aid
companies that have recently appointed
receivers. Receiver McGarroli, of the
defunct World company, of Lebanon,
Is going to sue all responsible policy
holders who failed to pay their assess
ment* on deatha prior to the failure of
the com piny. It is intended that the
assessments shall be collcoted under
the contract entered into between the
company and the assured, and acceptfd
by the asignee of the policy when tak
ing the same. It is believed that Mc-
Carroll has the sanction of the highest
legal authority in the state, aud that
this example will be speedily followed
by his con tern powrjes in charge of the
other defunct associations. If this can
be done there will be a very lively
scramble among policy holders all over
the state.
