—You need not go west to buy cheap
lands. Treasurer Keller will sell thou
sands of acres next June, scattered ov
er the whole county, and most of it
will go decidedly cheap. Ail tlrse
lands are timbered, and in this respect
they are decidedly preferable to west
ern lands—but we don't insure all of it
to be strictly llrst class for farming
purposes. The purchaser will have the
chance to try that.
EXTRAVAGANCE IN DRESS.— This is
the way Judge Sharswood, of the Su
preme court, tUtters the opposite sex:
"It is true that gills are not so often
spendthrifts as boys, but they may
sometimes be, and if extravagance in
female dress continues, as it has begun
the fortunes of girls aisy le as rapidly
dissipated in that way as by intemper
ance, gambling and licentiousness In
young men."
—Prof D. M. Wolf paid us a visit
last week, and he did hot say "How d'
you do" and "Hood bye," all in one
breath. The Professor loves and en
joys his work and is in better health
than he has been for some years. He
was recently offered the Presidency of
the Allentown Female College, but
seems to be a little wary to assume any
dutlrs in that particular line, and so
declined what to most men would be a
tempting position. We are happy to
state that the Professor stays with us.

one of the most substantial business
houses in Bellefonte, if not one of the
largest. Doth partners are practical
shoemakers As well as men of strict in
tegrity and excellent business qualitlca
tions. You can go to their store with
the full assurance thai they will deal
with you fairly and squarely, and that
all they represent respecting their goods
is fully substantiated by the facts.
Just try them to see how will
be pleased. If
—Prof. Kuizenknabe is a trifle in
dignant because of the report publ'sh
ed ih certain newspapers to the effect
that he was insane and cooped in an
asylum. The "music" in hitn comes
out over his own signature in a letter
lie has furnished for publication, as
follows: "I was handed a number of
papers containing a notice of my hav
ing be'eti placed iu an Asylum because
of mental derangement induced by
over-scuJv. Please say that this is a
malicious libel manufactured by my
enemies for a purpose. I never enjoy
ed better health and a more prosperous
business than during the past year. I
was only once in my life iu a Lunatic
Asylum, then only an hour as a visitor

Mr. VanOrmer we know well. He
is a graduate of the JOUKNAL office,
and we ft-el proud of our pupiJ. It
was tee who probably first told him, not
exactly in (l ittering terms, but all the
more candid for that—that he was apt,
smart, and so forth, (facts which he
mignt perhaps never have discovered
of his own accord) and that he should
make journalism his profession. We
are slad that our high hopes of him are
beginning to bo realized.

Hanged before Thousands of People.
INDIANAPOLIS, lud , April 4.
Last night after midnight a mob col
lected in a grove near Kokomo and or
ganized and marched to the jail where
Long, alias Jamison, charged with
committing a felonious assault on the
little daughter of Mr. Prlcherd, was
contiued. A Crdwd of 700 or SOO peo
ple had congregated at the jail when
the masked party arrived, but they
made no demonstration ekcept to cheer
the mob. At the jail door the Sheriff
met them. Oa his refusal to deliver
the keys the mob broke down the doors
and took the Cillprit to Main Street
Bridge, where thousands had gathered.
The mob was well organised. They
*ore their coats turned inside out.
They had obtained sledgehammers,
crowbars and other implements from a
blacksmith shop before marching to
the jail. Efforts were made by \V. F.
Vail, Kev. Mr. McClane and others to
prevent the mob from taking the law in
their own hands, but tl.ey were greet
ed with shouts of derision from the
mob and the crowd that had gathered.
It was evident nothing but a laige mil
itary force could have prevented the
hanging. The culprit's last wish was:
"Hang me decent."
