—From last week's Bellefonte Watch
man : The contracts for the grading
and masonry of the branch road from
this place to Lemont were announced
on Saturday last,as follows : Beginning
at Belletonte the first two miles was let
to Charles McAfferty, of this place, the
next three miles to Mr. Good, ot Lock
Haven, the next two miles to Messrs.
Jackman and Batchelor,of Lock Haven,
the next two to Messrs. Shipman &
Walls, of Sunbury and Lewisburg re-
pectively, and the remaining mile to
Mr. Lambert Vandyke.
Almost half of Mr. McAiTerty's con
tract is already completed. The other
contractors have been in town arrang
ing to go to work at once, and it is cal
culated that this roadbed will be ready
for the ties by tho first of October.
There is nothing new in regard to the
Beech Creek and Bellefonte. The fad
ing of the Ueadinglrail-road to sign the
contract to take charge of and run it
when completed will delay somewhat
its construction. It is not dead, how
ever. The engineers are npw in Liber
ty township completing the final loca
tion, and in a few days application will
be made for juries to assess the damag
es to properties along ths route, where
the cost of the right of way could not
be amicably arranged. Workmen along
the line have been stopped for tho pres
ent. The Buffalo Hun road will not be
ironed until some more definite arrange
ment is made to complete the Beech
Creek and Bellefonte.
The extension of the L. C. & T. road
from Spring Mills to Lemont is being
poshed rapidly along and in a few days
cars will be running up to Centre Hall.
—ln the Shamokin Herald of the Bth
inst., we find the following article
which we give below for the benefit of
Prof. W. T. Meyer's numerous friends
and admirers in and around his home.
We are glad to note that Prof. Meyer
is worthily honored aud appreciated in
his new field of labor as he fully de
serves it aud heartily add our congrat
ulations to the esteem iu which he is
held by his pupils and co-laborers :
The Philharmonic—Prof. Meyer Sur
prised.
The established success and contin
ued prosperity of the Philharmonic So
ciety of Shamokin should be hailed
with delight by every true lover of mu
sic. Not only has it tended to bring
out and develop a wonderful amount of
musical talent that had been lying dor
mant for years,but that it has been the
means of elevating the standard of mu
sic in Shamokin must be apparent to
every one atteuding its weekly meet
ings, which are very profitable, inter
esting and entertaining. Much of this
is due to the professional skill and un
tiring efforts of Prof. W. T. Meyer.who
gives his valuable services gratituouslv.
Recognizing this fact and afixious to
show their appreciation, the Society
took advantane of the Professor's ab
sence from town last week and decided
to get up a testiraouiol, fixing Tuesday
of this week for the presentation.
There was a 'arge turnout of the Socie
ty on that evening and during the in
termission a kind of "loye feast" was
indulged in. Speeches were made by
Rev. T. J. Ilacker, President R. T.
Owen and others, in which the Society
was congratulated on its progress and
attainments. Finally Rev. Ilacker a
gain arose to say that all the speakers
had forgotten to mention their leader,
and in one of his happiest efforts refer
red to Prof. Meyer's nobleness of char
acter, his unselfish devotion to the in
terests of the society,and closed by pre
senting to him on behalf of the society
a handsome gold watch. To say that
the professor was dumfounded, is put
ting it mildly, but notwithstanding the
genuine surprise, he managed to ac
cept it in a graceful little speech. The
watch is an Elgin movemeut, heavily
cased, and inscribed on the inside :
"Presented to W. T. Meyer by the Sha
mokin Philharmonic Society, May 0,
1894."

J. YV. Bartges has bought himself a

The other evening while the boys
were playing "scrub" they came very
near causing a sad accident. As one
of them was in the act of batting, Fred
dy Ileckraan walked by and was struck
on the breast by the batter. The blow
might have proved serious, but we are
glad to report that he is able to be a
bout. More care ought to be taken by
the players.
There was quite a circus in town on
Saturday afternoon. Two of our sports
got too much "How come ye so" and
drove their horse around at a fearful
gate. But oh ! the axle broke and
the boys had the choice of walking or
finding some other means of transpor
tation. They disposed of the matter
in this way : The one went on horse
back, the other on the axle of the bug
gy at the rate of 2.15. The constable
ought to take such men in hands and
deal with them according to law.
Shame on vou, to treat a poor brute in
such a cruel way.

—Now that the sudden and violent
changes of the weattier occur every
twenty four hours, almost everyone
has a troublesome cold, which, if neg
lected may produce results that will
trouble you for the remainder of your
life. Dr. Kessler's Celebrated English
Cough 3fedicine is especially deserving
praise in this class of complaints. It
never fails! It never disappoints! In
structions for treatment of croup and
whooping cough also accompany each
bottle. Every family especially where
there is children should have a bottle.
Dissatisfied buyers can have their mon
ey refunded. Sold by J. Eisenhuth,

Miscellaneous.
A single cattle ranch in Texas, at
the head of the Red River, is said to
contain nearly 25,000 acres more than
the entire State of Rhode Island con
tains in territory.
The statement of the State Treasurer
for April shows that the total amount,
in the general fund is sl, 456,844,13, ex
clusive of money appropriated to the
sinking fund. The amount mentioned
is deposited in different bangs in the
State.
The telegraph companies, at points
where they complete, haye concluded
to leduce their rates to nearly all pciuts
in the West and Southwest to one cent
per word, on all messages of fifteen
words or more. Competition is doing
this. Where ne competition exists the
old rates will preyail.
The Postoftice Department has con
ferred authority on postmasters not
possessed before to correct misdirected
letters, where possible, and forward
them, isstead as has been the custom,
of sending them to the dead letter off
ice. This is certainly a commendable
step.
The Grand Army is taking steps to
take all the veterans in the State from
almshouses, and place t hem in a home
where they can be eared for. It is a
disgrace that a soldier, who risked his
life in defence of his country, should be
allowed to become a pauper,
