—'The rush at Lewin'a Philadelphia
Branch Clothing Store, Bellefonte, con
| t'nues unabated, out Lewin is not the
man to permit his stock to go down, if
his prices are down to the very lowest
figure. Hold up in buying your spring
supplies. You will go to Bellefonte
some time before long, and then you
can call at Lewin's and be suited exact
ly. That's your best way. 2t
A BUSY BLACK. —One of the busiest
places in Pcnns Valley is the MILL
HEIM MARBLK WORKS. Fine monu
ments and elegant head stones ure
made in the best style of the art and
iin 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
wido spread an 4 increasing patronage.
tf
CLEAN UP.— At this season of the
year, more than at any other, there
should be complete and thorough clean
ing up in and around every homestead.
Health and comfort both do ma.id it.
The house should ha cleansed and well
ventilated from garrett to cellar—es
pecially the latter. The accumulated
foulness of the winter should be driven
out. A small flauie lice will do it ef
fectually. The garden, yard, out-houses
and all should have pioper attention. 1
Cesspools should be abated, ash piles
removed, fences white washed, rubbish
of all kinds removed, lu short every
thing unsightly as well as everything
unhealthy should bo done away with
as soon as the weather is favorable for
such work. Think of it—do it—it
may save you a doctor's bill. It will
certainly be no small source of satisfac- j
tiou and happiness to yourself and '
family.
—The shoe store of Doll & Mingle is
one of the most substantial business
bouses in Bellefonte, if not one of the
largest. Both partners are practical
shoemakers as well as men of strict in
tegrity and excellent business qualifica
tions. You can go to their store with
the full assurance that they will deal
with you fairly and squarely, and thai
all they represent respecting their goods
is fully substantiated by the facts.
Just try them to see how well you will
be pleased. ' tf
The Lewisburg papers are jubilant
over the new rail road, and they hare
reason to be. In spsaking on the mat
ter the Journal says: •
Every present indication points to
the speedy pushing to completion of
the railroad. The engineers have rent
ed an office in A. M. Lawshe's build
ing, this place and they have been tak
ing surveys for the rew road in our
borough and along the line between
West Milton and Blue Hill. They
have doubtless fixed upon the line
that will be adopted, but have not ycc
made it public. As soon as the line is
located thousand! of men will at once
be placed at work and there will be a
busy time in this section the balance
of the year. The largest job before the
railroad company will ha no douH the
bridge at Sunbury. We are told it is
to lie an iron one.
It is almost certain that the L. & T.
Co., will at once'have their road com
pleted to Tyroue, ai-d the business on
that line will be increased.
We hope the prediction concerning
the completion of our own road may
prove correct. Bonus Valley should
by all means have a western rail road
outlet.
THE UOYCE REAPER.—I hereby
make known to the farmers of Centre
county that I intend as heretofore to
ship reapers on trial to all who wish to
buy. I ask no one to sign any contract
but all will have a fair trial before
buying. The Royce must stand or fall
on its own merits. For simplicity of
construction, lightness of draft, ease
of management and efficiency of work
it stands unrivaled. For further in
formation I respectfully refer to men
who have used it—Jacob Kerstetter,
Daniel E. Gentzel, Jacob J. Gentzel,
Coburn Post Office, and others.

ANOTHER MURDER IN CLEAR
FIELD COUNTY.— The other Saturday
evening a fatal stabbing affray occur
red in Du B'is, Clear field county. Two
miners, Harrington and Overand,
jointly occupied a shanty near the col
liery of Bell, Lewis & Yates. In the
latter part of February they bad a
brawl, in which Harrington was
knocked senseless by Overand; after
this the latter left thn "shanty" and
boarded elsewhere; but on Satuiday af
ternoon last, about 5 o'clock be again
called at the "fchantv" and Harrington
refused him admittance, ft >th, it is
said, were steeped in liquor. A fight
ensued, which ended by Harrington
(who was Inside of the "slmnty" and
claimed right of posessi ui) stabbing
Overand with a miner's tamping
needle, an Instrument from four to five
feet long, made of steel three-eigh s to
one halt an inch in thickness and tap
ering to a point, as a needle, and hence
its name. The instrument entered ac
cording to post mortem examination,
the heart, one inch above its I use,
causing instant death.
Harrington was taken to Clearfield
and lodged in jail on Monday evening
by the Dußois C instable.
Superstition in Snyder County.
James Middleswarth, esq., justice of
the peace at Tmxelville, Snyder coun
ty, writes to detective Lyon, of Read
ing, that "last Sunday Joseph M< yer
and a few others opened the grave of
Jonathan Moyer and exhumed the body
to see if lie wis really (la-id or not. Some
of Jonathan's friends have been labor
ing qnder a delusion that he was not
dead when he was buried. The, colliii
was opened, and it is said, the face of
the dead man looked as natural as
when in full health and life. The on
ly discoloration visible was reported to
have been along his brow. The mur
der business is quiet, though Mr. Ed
monds still goes about harping upon
his ideas among the different congre
gations where he preaches. His con
duct is turning his friends even against
h;m, and lie will only lose the respect
of law-abiding citizens."
Above item which we clip from the
Uarrisburg Patriots is intended to
throw a bad but very unclear ligtli up
on ltev. Edmonds, who is well known
here. Just what the ideas are that he
is "harping" upon, or what connection
or bear'ng they luve on the Kintzler
murder, does not appear. Tue friends
of Mr. Edmonds here must wait ou
more light.

A Georgia Story of a Silver
Dollar.
From the Samlcrsville Mercury.
Mrs. Wicker, when a girl twelve
years old, was kicked in the forehead
by a horse, fracturing her skull, and
her physicians took an old Spanish
dollar and cut it and put one-half over
the fracture, which she carries to this
day. The other half was either mis
placed or lost and was never found un
til a few days ago, when, Mr. Geat
Wiggins, who occupies the house now,
was having the door-facing repaired,
the workmen came across it stored a
way behind the old facing, where it
has been for seventy-two years. Mrs.
Wicker is still living and in good
health, and is about eighty-four years
old;
A Man Die 3 After He is Buried.
§
NEW BRUNSWICK, N )., April 10.—
The brother of James Gilllland, who
was buried two weeks ago, came from
a distance and had the body exhumed
this morning and found that it bore
evidences of having been buried alive.
The body was turned on one side and
the face scratched from evident strug
gling.
A Baby Clutchos a Wildcat's
Tail.
From tho Helena Herald.
An almost famished wildcat a few
days ago appeared in the midst of a
flock of sheep in the valley near Big
Ildle, M. T., and selected a Rne lamb
from the fl.ttk. The owner of the
sheep was attracted to tho scene by the
noise of his dog. Bo found the cat
. nay devouring the lamb and bis little
three-year-old son clutching the tail >f
the cat, attempting to pull it off, atul
the dog barking and scampering a
round it. lie soon removed his little
boy from his perilous position and dis
patched the wildcat with his rifle.
A PREACHER'S PLAIN WORDS.—
That was a pleasant way in which a
newly settled Methodist minister dis
armed the criticism of the people in
the congregation to which he had been
sent. Instead of getting angry about
it, or complaining that they had hurt
his feelings, he remarked from the pul
pit: "I hear that you say 1 am not
much of a preacher: well, I know it;
and I know that if I could preacli -first
rate 1 would not have been sent here
to preach to such a lot of ignoramuses
as you." The church folks were struck
with a new sense of the fitness of
things as regulated by the admit able
machinery of Methodism for adapting
means to ends.
WiTliarf Tells of the Eastern
Shore.
From the CentrevlPe Hocord.
Theie are two young men residing in
the lower part of Queen Anne's coun
ty, near Winchester, who practice the
test that was required cf the renown
ed and historical Swiss, William Tell,
viz., to shoot an apple from the head
of his son. These young gentlemen
practice their pastime almost daily,
without compulsion and with ease and
certainty. Tiia weapons used are pis
tols and the distance from ten to fif
teen paces. We are informei that
these young marks men will place upon
the head of one an apple, orange or ball
and permit the other to shoot at it
with impunity and that the object is
seldom iui.-sed. When the Urst who
shoots is tired the other will take a
turn, and neither evinces the least
fear.
A Betrayer Shot by hie Victim.
Special Dispatch to the Times.
PJTTSBUKG, April 10.— While JAMES
McCue was at work at a South Side
planing mill this afternoon Elizabeth
McCue, who is not related to him, ap
proached him and said: "What are you
going to do about this V'* "What do
you think ?" he answered. "I know
what I will do," said Miss McCue, and
she drew a revolver from under her
shawl and fired. The ball entered
James' left breast, on a line with 'he
lung. He ran and aae fin d a second
time, but missed him. He told an
ofllcer he had been shot and while talk
ing Miss McCue approached and the
three went to a physician's olfioe.
James will probably die. Elizabeth is
a pietty seamstress. Some months a
go she left the city for a sad cause and
upon her return sent for James to
come and marry her. He refused and
she decided to kill hnn. She is now in
jail, awaiting the result of his Injuries.
The Customer -who is always Short.
There is still another class of cutom
ers that it may be well to speak f.
This class never pick up anything in
the store, but they frequently fall a
few cents short of having money e
nough to pay for what they purchase.
If, when the}' come in again, they aie
reminded by Uie storekeeper of it, they
are very apt to go off in a huff, and
pronounce Mr. Blank the meanest man
thev ever knew, because he actually
dunned them for five or ten cents; aod
yet that five or ten cents may be more
than his profit amounts to on the ar
ticle. A law suit in this city recently
revealed the fact that some years ago
there was a man living here w ho, al
though quite wealthy, was exceedingly
penutious. lie was a daily customer
at a certain store, and always managed
to be from three to ten cents short of j
the amount to pay his bill. The store
keeper asked him several times for the
small amounts that were due, but he
always l ad. some excuse for not set
tling. The merchant finally procured
a book in which were entered the ar
tides this man purchased, the date,
and the amount he fell short. This
was continued for some two or three
years, when the customer died ami the
storekeeper presented his claim, which
amounted to nearly one hundred dol
lars, to the executors, aud recovered
every dollar.—E&
