SAM PATCH. —The Bellefonte Republican of last week contaius the following sensation al aiticle in the form of a correspond ence. The writer smarts by saying that he has been "reliably informed" and theu substantially asks "if these facts i are true." Facts are always true, but whether the charges of "Tax Payer" are facts is quite auother question. We have no idea that our commis sioners or judges would allow any such extravagant price to be paid as here in dicated, for clerical work, especially at a time when every d >llar of public ex penditure is so closelv scrutinized by our citizens. But since a charge ef reckless extravagance has been made let the matter bs examined and a truth ful statement made. Our citizens as well as Mr. Tobias are j istly entitled to this. , "A Plain Steal' EDITOR REPULICAN*, Rear Sir:— 1 am reliably infotmecl that the county is going to pay or has paid W. A. Tobias , $3,85">.88 for indexiug the deed (lock ets, which jib he fin s shed a couple weeks ago. Mr. Tohi.is, I belieVP, be gan bis wiwk last January and employ ed to assist him two clerks, ope of them for about seven months and, tlie other for three months. At $">0.00 per month, all that clerical work is worth in Bellefonte, the cleric.ijire would not cost Mr. Tobias more than,about $500.- 00. leaving him clear of expenses about $3,3">5.58 for scarcely eight months' work. Now, Mr. Editor, if these facts are true, is not the price paid for this work simply enormous ? Is it any wonder that our county is in debt, and that the taxes are high V Is it not a pi iin steal which the tax p lyers of Centre county ought to protest against ? Yours respectfully, TAX PAYER. r.l * —The following is a complete list pi the teachers employed for the winter term of our public schools in this part of the county. MILLIIKIM —Grammer School—W. G.

Two Fighting Lloru? Scatter a Crowd. While Barrett's circus train was standing on the track at Charlotte, X. (J., waiting for orders, quite an excit ing incident took place. Two lions be gan to fight in their cage,which was on a II it about the middle of the train. In their struggles they upset the cage and knocked out the wooden side, but the heavy iron bars remained intact and preveuted them escaping. The deep roars and fierce growls of the madden ed beas's were frightful to hear, and the way the crowd turned tail and tied up town was a sight. The keeper of tho lions had to subdue them ty throw ing chunks of fire at them. While the fight was i n progress, to add to the ex citement, the big elephant Xerxes bo came excited and threatened to break from bis car, but was finally quieted by his keeper. A 1 irge crowd bad col lected at the depot to see the circus tram.,and when the lions begau to fight they scattered like chaff befoie a torna do. A DUEL IN THE DARK. How a Ventriloquist's Art Ser ved Him in a Crisis. i A letter from Carrizo I'ass, Texas, gives an account of a hostile meeting between two minors in the Pecos min ing Company's camp, twenty miles north of the Mexican border, last MOD. day night, 'yhe duelists were George tlollenbeck and Wm. Straiten, ooth New YorKers, born and raised oer r Palmyra. They were of rich descent of the early Hollanders. They were educated at Cambridge. The former graduated as a lawyer and the latter as a physician. While at Palmyra they quarreled, but friends prevented blood shed s A few days ago they met iu the Pecos Mining camp and recognized each other. The scho >1 and social pol ish had been f übbed oft by the trials and hardships incident to life in the mining camps. Holletibeck ..was over j >yed to meet Strattop, who. repelled him and said they would settle that lit tle unfinished difficulty which arose be tween them at their last meeting. llol lenbeck said he. had forgotten all about the difficulty referred to and entertain ed no ill-feelings whatever against him. Stratton insisted on a settlement accor ding to the code, llollenbeck said that if nothing short of that would do he would accommodate him. Accordingly arrangements were con summated for a duel. They were to fight with pistols in tbedark. Each was to announce ready, after which a third party was to count three, when they were to tire. The room was as dark as Egypt. They went into it and an nounced ready from opposite corners. "One, two, and Stratton fired„ Stratton fired p second shot, but the ou ly response from ll.ollenbe?k was a groan. Tbe report of a pistol came from a corner directly opposite from the.groan appeared to proceed from and Strattpn fell. No more shots being exchanged the miners opened the room ,and entered. A light revealed the fact that Stratton had been killed, while llollenbeck was unhurt. Ilollon; beck is a ventriloquist and on entering the room took his stand in a diagonal corner from his adversary and, to make him beleive he was iu the opposite cor ner, thrpw hi? yoice in that quarter of the room, where the bullets from his adversary's pistol harmlessly burried themselves in the wall. It had been so long since they had .seen each other that Ilollcnbeck's ventriloquism had entirely escaped the memory of Stratton. DIED. Qn the Ist iust.' at Linden.
