These signatures have come back attached to promissary notes aggregating SII,COO. "MAUD.*' —The other day neighbor Fierce Musser launched a beautiful .lit tle pleasure boat on the old, historic mill dam. (Spell the word D. A. M. leave tiie n off, then it isuT swearing.) Pierce had the neat little ship painted in best style and named it Maud, after his charming, rosy-cheeked young daughter. All decent persons can hire the Maud for a trifling fee. For "terms and particulars apply to CLYMER MUS SER. -T. — S. K. SANKEY & Co. are making preparations to manufacture on an ex tensive scale the celebrated Keystone Cultivator. This is one of the best agricultuial implements ever invented and was largely manufactured by the late John P. Foote. The new firm should have every possible encourage ment by our citizeus and the communi ty at large. The concern has the smack of pluck and enterprise about it and we wish it every possible success. -t. —John It. Koenig, In tel keeper at Womelsdorf, has a hog that will be three years old next August, and is es timated to weigh 1,300 pounds.—Haul ing Adlcr. What a striking coincidence ! Why Womelsdorf is our native home too. But we are much older and not nearly so heavy —and that again makes at least two marked points of difference. —The Centre County Sabbath School Association will hold its thirteenth au nual convention in the Presbyterian church at Centre Hill, Thursday, Aug. 17th. It is intended to make this meet ing a point of interest, if possible a lit tle in advance of any similar meeting yet held in the county. All ministers are delegates ex-oflicio without appoint ment or special invitation. Particulars with regard to the convention will be published in season. ***. —The idea used to prevail veiy largely that to appear in tattered or patched up clothing was a sure sign of manly dignity and moral worth. But people are fast getting notions on this subject. Men do not get much credit these days for being slovenly in their appearance, while to be filthy is a downright disgrace. Of course much depends on the work or business in which men are engaged, and it 's for this reason that Lewiu, of the Philadel phia Branch Clothing House, Belle foutc, Pa., keeps a full line of clothing suitable for the laborer, the merchant, the farmer, as well as the professional man—and all at the very lowest cash prices. —We hereby tender our thanks to Prof. W. T. Meyer for a very fine piece of music for the piano, called Moonlight in the F<> ra>t. It- is adorned by an excellent engraving on the title page, expressive of tiie name and spir it of the music. Mr. Meyer, the author is becomiug celebrated as a composer of music aud it affords us pleasure to state that the extensive publishing house of W. F. Shaw, Philadelphia, have permanently engaged his services. Prof. Meyer will commence a term of mu3ic ie ssons at Aaronsburg and Millheim next Monday and Tuesday, and will give instructions to a few scholars efrery week 011 those two days. On account of his permanent engage ment with the mentioned firm lie will not be able to teach a great number. Temperance Meeting* The Temperance Meeting at Mill heim on Monday evening, July 24th, was a success. At the riDging of the bell many gathered into the Evangelic al church to hear Mr. W. D, Black burn deliver a fine lecture on the great subjedt of Temperance, after which the following were elected as officers of the "Millheim Constitutional Amend, ment Association:" viz Dr. S. Gutileus president; W. K. Alexander, B. O. Deininger, 11. K. Luse Vice President; D. L. Zerby Secretary; Jacob Gephart and an executive committee of Seventeen ladie3 and gentlemen of the town. This was an excellent step and "is but just begun." Mr. Blackburn re ceived a rising vote of thanks for his noble work so highly appreciated here. The County Constitutional Amend ment Association Convention shall be held on July 28th at Bellefonte. Places have been secured, free, for all delegates. SECRETARY. SPRING MILLS ITEMS. Spring Mills Academy opened with some fifty students. There are quite a number of tourists and city folks at the Spring Mills House already and more are coming. The paik is enclosed and a fine shady retreat it is. Mr. Grenoble is piping the water for the hotel from Sam'l Leitzell's spring into a reservoir, and then by a hydrau lic ram to the third iloor of the hotel, which will soon have all the modern conveniences of the times. SAM PATCH. THE Georgia Democrats have nominated lion. A. FT; Stevens for Governor. Harvest is about over in this neighborh octl and a very good average harvest it is. Ilay is more abundant than it hasbeen for the hist forty year?. Many of our farmers have made forty, lifty, sixty loads and some even more. Conrad Iramel, on t he Gentzel farm at Penn's Creek, took in seventy-live loads and left the grass of an entire field out after mowing it. Oats, barley, corn and potatoes all promise a rich yield, while fruit alone will bo rather scarce. To all human appearance this will bo tin exceptionally fruitful year in our valleys,whllejwe have been thus far most graciously spared from casualities and damages by storms, hail, lightning and floods. As a people—locally speaking—wo have much cause for thankfulness to our Heavenly Father for these rich gifis. How are we affected by them ? Will they stimulate us to renewed in dustry, to new enterprises in our va ritd business pursuits and callings? Will we be more liberal in our benevo lence, uioro charitable to the suffering and poor ? Will we give any more than our usual pittiance to the building of churches, the support of the mission ary cause, the endowment of colleges, and to other benevolent and religious objects which appeal to us so earnestly for help ? Will we be any more public spirited as citizens, more dutiful as christians, or will we enjoy God's rich est blessings without giving any prac tical evidence of gratitude, as if we were to live here forever, in groveling selfishness, without any due apprecia tion of duty—without any nobledesires or aspirations to do some good as we travel along the jo urney of life down to the grave and eternity V Let us reflect.
