IN EE REASONS.— The reasons Doll
V igle, in Bellefonte, do such a
ng business in boots and shoes,
. -flrst their stock is of the
idly, their prices aie the very low
and thirdly, they are liberal adver
rs and square men to deal with.
~ Gorges Valley has a flourishing
lay School with a membership of
- It meets in the church about a
r.south from Spring Mills. If there
v.i Other rural Sunday School in Cen
county so well attended we would
'ike to hear from it.

i liver the oration, and Miss Lau
tier, the celebrated elecutionist,

Lock Haven expects to have a

—The performances rendered by
Main's Colliseum at their two exhibi
tions last Friday, as well as their de
cent and orderly conduct while hero
deserve all credit. The canvass was
crowded both afternoon and evening
and everybody was pleased and satisfi
ed and speaks favorable of Main's cir
cus. The town was thronged with
people but no disturbances of any kind
took place.
—You can get not only entire suits at
Lewin's Philadelphia Branch, in llello
foute, but single garments of any kind,
whether mentionablo or unmentionable.
Hats and caps, collars and ties, and e
ven umbrellas, all at the lowest price
and to rich and poor alike. No
better place anywhere to get your sum
mer supplies of clothing for yourself
and your sons, than the Philadelphia
Branch. 2t
—lt affords us much pleasure to call
the attention of our readers to the
school statement for Millheiin Borough
for the year ending June 6th, instant.
It shows that the tax duplicate WHS
fully settled for, that exonerations
were but a trifle, that all debts were
paid—including the painting of our
school houses— and that there is a
cash balance of 8248.65 in the treasury.
This is what we call business, and we
hope our town council tn.*v imitate the
good example of tho school board and
take mesisure to settle up all outstand
ing duplicate and taxes. Let there be
a full squaring up of our municipal
affairs every yea**-.
TIIE COUNTY ROADS.— WouId it
not be well if every township would
construct, say one or two miles of
good hard stoned road every year. This
would cost comparatively a small sum,
and would in a few years place the
road of a township in superb condi
tion. There is always much stir made
during the early Spring when many of
the roads in the Country districts are
so impassable, in relation to providing
hard beds for the principal highways,
but when the season advances, aud the
frost has disappeared, And the holes
and ruts are Oiled up by gravel, the
idea vanishes until another season of
deep mud comes around, when the sub
ject is again agitated.— Ex.
ENTERTAINMENT.— The public is
resi>eetfully invited to attend a Sunday
School Entertainment in the Reformed

ning, June 24th, 1882. The Pro

—"We received a private letter from
Rev. J. A. Bright, of Ellswoith, Kin
sas, under date of June 3rd, in which
he states that he and Lis family feel
content and satisfied in their new west
ern home. He speaks in warm terras
of the kindness and good social dispo
sition of the people.
His charge extends from Ellsworth
to Lincoln Centre, near which Mr.
Philiy B. Stover resides—a distance of
twenty-five miles.
Concerning the prospects for good
crops Mr. Bright writes: "For the last
few years crops bavj not been very
good in Kansas, but this year makes
up for it all. Wheat, rye, oats, corn
and potatoes all look fine. The peach
crop will also be heavy. Folks here
have already been eating ripe poaches,
cherries, plums and strawberries for
over a week, brought from the gulf
states and sold at enormous prices. I
also saw some new potatoes from Tex
as the other day, very fine, and cost
only $3.6') per bushel."
THE VERDICT OF THE JURY.
We have just received a copy of the
most popular piece of music ever pub
lished in this country, called the "Ver
dict March," composed by Eugene L.
Blake. It is written in an easy style,
so that it can be played on either piano
or organ. The title page is very haud
some, containing correct portraits of
Hon. Ceo. B. Uorkhill, HOD. J. K.
Porter, and Judge W. S. Cox; also a
correct picture of the twelve jurymen
who convicted the assassin of our late
beloved President. This piece of
raUsic should be found in every house
hold throughout the entire country.
Price, 40 cents per copy, or 3 copies
for sl. Postage stamps taken as cur
rency. Address all orders to F. W.
Helmick, Music Publisher, ISO Elm,
Cincinnati, O.
Sews Miscellany.
Some men will not take a political
paper and never read au article on pol
itics. They therefore know 110 more
about the system of government under
which they live and which protects
their person and their property than a
mule knows of astronomy. If all men
were like them society would eventu
ally relapse into barbarism and physic
al might again become the law of
of right. The man who does not care
to inform himself sufficiently as to be
able to exercise the privilege of suff
rage intelligently does not deserve to
live under a government where the
people choose their own rulers and
make and unmake their own laws.— E:c
From almost every part of tho great
west comes the cheering news that the
prospects for good crops never were
bet ter.
Two foolish editors down in New
Orleans shot at each other until one of
them received a ball through both legs.
It was dono to vindicate their honor.
The old court house at Fbensburg,
Cambria county, was recently sold at
public auction tor $52, while the jail
brought only SSO.
The New York World has oT lite
been paying great attention to the
crops throughout the United States, and
from carefully prepared reports receiv
ed from all sections it appears that tho
outlook is most promising for a largely
increased yield. The cereals especi
ally are doing well and have been little
injured by the unpropitious weather of
the winter and spring. This will be
good news to all classes of people.
A Fatal Fight Between Two
Girls.
LUMUEKTON, N. C., Juno 4.—There
was a terrible tight in Sr. Paul's town
ship yesterday net we en two girls, on
account of a young man, which result
ed in Francis McNair plunging a dirk
into Jane McKellar's heart. They
fought each other like tigresses and
the McKellar girl had nearly succeeded
in Miss McNair to death,
when the latter, with a r 5 nil effort, re
leased herself and stabbed her opponent
and then swooned across the b uly.
Ex-Governor Moses Sentenced.
NEW YORK, June 6. —Franklin J.
Moses, ex Governor of South Carolina,
pleaded guilty to-day in the Court of
General Sessions to petit larceny. The
plea was accepted by the District At
torney, and Judge Gildersleeve sentenc
ed Moses to the Penitentiary for six
months. Moses who is forty years of
age and claims to reside in West Twen
ty-fouith street, was indicted for obtain
ing by false representations §32 from
Dr. Nathan Bozerman, of Fifth ave
uue, in February.
A LEADVILLK SCENE.— A strangely
tragical scene was wittnesseil in Lead
yille a few days since. As a policeman
was taking D. W. Fresher to the jail
on a charge of robbing Robert Barta
moss, the latter appeared on the street,
and Fresher broke away, drew a revol
ver, aul tired at Bartamoss. The ball
hit him in the right breast and passed
through his body. Bartamoss stood
motionless for about a minute, and
then, raising a rills which lie was car
rying, fired at Fresher, the ball strik
ing him in the heart. The street was
crowded at the time.
A bill in equity has been filed in the
York County Court against the officers
and directors of the Southern Pennsyl
vania Mutual Relief Association, of
Hanover, Pa. The complainants are
Jacob and Mary Minter, who in then
bill allege all sorts of fraud and decep
tion and set forth that in May, 1880, a
policy for §3,000 was issued on the life
of Elizabeth Kohler, which, with the
knowledge and consent of the company
was transferred to complainants; that
six months later the assured died, aud
though complainants had paid in as
sessments over §4t>o they received no
benefit money. The case borrows in
terest in that it will be a test as to the
responsibility of the officers, and if de
cided In favor of plaintiffs hundreds af
similar suits will follow-
MISDEEDS IN MISSOURI.
Six Mounted Men Rob a Bank :
at Brookfield. in Daylight, i
KANSAS CITY, MO., June B.—Par-!
ticulars are received of an attack on
the bank of Brookfleld yesterday by six
armed and mounted men, who rode in
to the town of Brookfield just as the
bank Was closing for tho day, dis
mounted, and covering the clerks with
with their revo'vers, robbed the safe of
about $5,000. They kept up a rapid
fusillade with their firearms as they
rode throgh tte place, overawing the
townspeople. The men wore all mask
ed. The county sheriff and marshal
organized a posse as speedily as possi
ble and went after t lie robbers. Dick
Little.ex-MarMial Leggett and others
of this city, who are familiar with the
James gang, think that Frank James
was unconnected with the affair, al
though they admit the job was done up
in the James boys' style. It is claimed
that Frank is not in the neighborhood.
There is plenty of tall timber near
Brookfield, and it is not thought likely
that the gang will be captured.
A dispatch from St. Joseph says: A
telegram from Kirksville, not far from
Brookfield, states that a party of men
have been stopping on the Harper farm
five miles southeast of that place, for
the past three weeks. They kept their
revolvers on all the time. Nobody
knew them. Several horses were stol
en there 011 Saturday night.
Surrounded and Captured.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 9.—The
Brookfield bank robbers, four in num
ber, were surrounded in the woods a
bout 130 miles northwest of Kirksville,
at 6 a. m. s and finding resistance use
less surrendered. They were taken to
Kirksville where a number of their
friends are congregated, and say the
prisoners shall not be taken to Brook
field. A fight is looked for.
A Woman's Fight for Life.
From the Lexington Gazette.
During the week Mrs. Camdem, who
lives on the Lexington (Ya.) and Cov
ington turnpike road, one mile from
town, was attack oil by two black
| snakes whilst on her way to the spring.
There is a path through a fieM of grass
leading to the spring, along which she
was going when the snakes made fight.
One of them wrapped itself around her
foot and ankle whilst the other stood
011 its tail and endeavored to get about
her waist and neck. She fought the
reptiles with a bucket which she had
in her hands and cried out lustily,when
her son, a yonng man, came to the res
cue with a hoe. One of the snakes
left Mr 3. C. and made a vigorous as
sault upon the young man,but he speed
ily dispatched it with his hoe and then
went to the relief of his mother anil
succeeded in killing the other snake.
The snakes were of the species known
as "racers," and noted for their pro
pensity to chase people when disturbed.
They we re about five feet long and
very slim. Mis. Camden, though ter
ribly frightened, has suffered no ill
consequence from the encounter.
