JOHN WOLF, 11. C. CAMPELL, A. J, GRIEST, tf Commissioners. —ln the Reporter of Feb. Btli inst., Mr. Kurtz, among other insinuations e qually groundless substantially charges us with having administered an oath while acting as Notary Public to a fraudulent account of S3OO or S4OO, for printing the new constitution. Know ing that we never had anything to do with that matter in any form we clip ped item and sent it to Mr. G. W. Foote, of Mifllinburg, our immediate predecessor, requesting a reply as to what he knew about it. The following ijs Mr. Foote ? sanswer, in his own hand writing and over his own signature, and we wait to see whether Mr. Kurtz lias the manhood and sense of justice to retract the false charge : 'T made oath to having published the Constitution in three issues of the CENTRE REPORTER, (Benchter,—Ed) but not before a Notary Public—it was before a Justice of the Peace, J. 11. ileifsnyder, Esq., and I was advised to do this by three prominent citizens of Bellet'onte, two Democrats and one Re publican,they being acquainted with all the facts." | —The Musical Convention is in full I blast and is quite well attended. Quite i a number of strangers are in attend ! aucc and the committee is doing all they can for their accommodation and com tort. The concerts this evening and Friday evening promise to he very good and will no doubt be well atten ded. Tickets for reserved seats can be had at P. 11. Musser's Jewelry Store. Better get yours in time. SETTLED AT LAST.—The Turkey Ituu School House Debating Club in Union county has at last finally settled the much mooted question, 4 'Resolved that married life is preferable to single life" by a dicision in the affirmative. No wonder at all that the atlirmative gained the day, for we see by the Ttlc qraph that two "Solomons" argued on that side. The judges however ought to have given a qualified decision, to the effect that any girl worth having as a wife had bettei die an old maid than marry a laiy, good-for-nothing, shift less and thriftless booby who cannot or will not support at imily. "What do von think of it, gills ? —All the bands of Snyder county * will meet at Middleburg, on tho anni versary of Washington's birthday. Plenty of brass and some big blowing is expected. We suggest that the cele brated Milllieim band go down there and knock the spot soft them all. What say you, Tom V —The irf tlie matter is that there eems to be no way to raise additional revenue for im provements that are imperative,as for ex< ample the rebuilding ot the High street, bridge recently swept away by the ice flood, as the borough has already ex ceeded its constitutional limit of debt making by about one hundred per cent. In this dilemma the citizens of Bellc fonte strongly appeal to the Board of County Commissioners to take the job off their hands and build a county bridge entire. Their pi ea gains much force from the fact th at the bridge was and again wili be largely used by many citizens of the county outside of Belle fonte. The Commissioners propose to erect an iron bridge if Bellefonte builds the abutments, but tire citizens of Bellefonte say tliey are utterly unable to do even this. Iu matters of public improvements absolutely necessary the JOURNAL has always favored a liberal policy, and we hope the commissieners will give our distressed neighbors all the aid they can, consistent with their duties as ward t ens of the people's money. !

Freddy had so liltle to say last week that we really pity him in the goodness of our big "Jumbo" heart. His chron ic trouble about our democracy is no doubt becoming wearisome to bis read ers,but is entirely harmless to us. His long range, flings at somebody out west are as futile as they are indecent and only show what kiwi of an animal he is. Try again, Freddy— guess work is as good as any, if it hits. But before you busy yomsclf about our democracy again, "don't you forget it" that you placed your democracy on tiial before the people of IVnn'e Valley only a few months ago, and t hat your Jejj'crsonion Jttcksonion "rain or shine" democracy commanded only a few scattering votes in the northern precinct of Potter township 1 Von may write leha HOD again. Why Freddy, vonr whilom republican competitor, Prof. Meyer, bout you out of your boots, right in your own valley, where the prestige and influence of your "great and good Reporter" ought to have made you im mensch/ popular. This matter sadly needs explanation and we cheerfully yici 1 you the floor, (let your neighbor John C -y to refresh your memory on the details, then tell us how it all happened. It will supply an interest ing link in your "history" which Mr. Linn so cruelly omitted. Meanwhile you may scold us abolitionist to vom heart's content, the public will of course consider the point well put and very timely. Mr. Kurtz established his CENTRE IIALI. Reporter some fifteen years ago, but never publicly claimed that it was the continuation of the old Ccntrs Re richter until Jan. 4th of the present year. If lie really thought his new Jit porter was the identical old Wenic/iU'r,he should have made that claim in the first issue of Hie JicjxnUr and all the time since. But bo did uot, and most probably for the reason that such a claim then would likely liavo resulted in a suit at law w\t\v his aged father. We do not dispute Freddy's right to name his paper just anything he pleases —Centre Kijxnrter or CENTRE HALL SOCKDOLAGER, for that is all a matter of choice and taste ; but we do most de cidedly insist that the JOCRN AL is the real old Jkrichter and that the Reporter is rent. lie tried to make a point a gainst us a few weeks ago by saying that we "abandoned" the old name of the paper. So we did, for goal rea sons and with a clear right, hat we never "abandoned" the identity of the JOURNAL and never will. We have made but one change, and that a per manent one, in the title of our paper, while the Kurtzes made at least three. The poor old thing had about as many names as a European prince -1 )cr Cen tre Jitrichter, Jicricktrr and Antfiyer, Dcmokrntischcr Rtrich'.er , and Freddy even changed his title from Ccntrt Jlall Reporter to Centre lit porter, pre sumably for the reason that a town of "80J population" is entiiely too small to hold so "great and good" a paper. Freddy should be about the last man to lecture us for abandoning names. Since the beginning of the year Fred dy flaunts the false and fraudulent claim in the bold, brazen words, "Vol ume—Old Series XL, New Series XVI," but that defiant falsehood must and will some time come down, nolens volcns, Freddy may bet his bottom dollar on that. Ou this point we will let one of our predecessors speak, who is thoroughly conversant on the subject. Freddy may be able to bit the mark a tritie nearer this trip, by guessing who it is. We claim no copyright on the subject matter and will generously permit Mr. Linn, or any other prominent historian to use it gratis as the First chapter in any probable "New Series" of the Life of the IION. FREDERICK KURTZ : Somewhere, Jan. 18S3. Editor Journal : In looking over an editorial in the Centre Reporter of a recent dite 1 notice that its capper and paster claims to be the oldest editor in Centre county, 01 in central Penn sylvania. It is a very broad claim for so diminutive a character—physically and particularly mentally—to make, but every one in Centre county knows that it is uttcily false. Just hear him The REPOHTEK was established In Aupust 1827. Its Old Series would be Vol. 10. Its New Series dating foim cur removal U> this place, now Vol. I*>. make tiie combined itßcol the RE POKTER 55 years—not taking in a few months to make the bcgining ami eudiiu? of the Volume correspondent with the closing of the calender year. Now this i 3 decidedly licit. True, the "Berk-liter was established in 1827" as lie says, but was published uninter ruptedly from that date until May Otli, 1870,—excepting a few months after Fritz took what he pleased to Centre 11 all, leaving the "hell" he says he left behind in utter chaos and confusion. What the poor old man s.-id touching the conduct of "nu i Fritz" in this matter, Ido not derm necessary here to repeat, but will only say that lie was broken hearted and shed bitter tears. The Centre Hall Reporter was started j in 1808, and the Btr kilter was publish ed under the old name an* il May oth, 1870, a period of eight years later,when the title was changed into MILLIXEIM JOURNAL. NOW any man who is not nine tenths a fool, or else a brazen-fac ed Hessian , must know that no " new series" of a paper can be claimed while the parent journal is still published. The Reporter is only fifteen years old and all that "Fritz" claims and says a bout "old series" and "new series" is the merest bosh, the thinnest kind of thin stuff, and will deceive no one but the willfully stupid. i Ergo.
