DEATH OF MRS. ALEXANDER.— It
is with deep regret that we chronicle
the death of Mrs. A Alexander,of Mill
heim, which occurred on Wednesday
eyening of last week,at about 9 o'clock.
She had been ailing most of the Sum
mer, but was shortly before her death
iu apparently fair health. Deceased
was the widow of Mr. Amos Alexander,
who preceded her to the graye not quite
four years ago. She was a daughter of
Mr. Christian Keller, of Centre Hall
and was married to Mr. Alexander in
1827. Thirty-one years ago ttfley mov
ed to the farm, west of town,at present
occupied by Mr. C. Alexander, one of
her sons. In the year 1865 they moved
to town, where they resided in their
house,corner of Main and Penn st. eets,
ever since. The subject of this notice
was always known us a devoted and in
dustrious wife, an affectionate mother
and a christian lady, having been a
member of the Reformed church from
her youth up. Her bereaved family
looses a beloved relative,while tin com
munity is bereft of an esteemed mem
ber of its society and a kind and oblig
ing neighbor.
The funeral took place from the
house on Saturday forenoon and was
attended by a large number of relations
and friends. Services were held in the
M. E. church, Rev. Z.A.Yearick offici
ating.
SHOCKING SUICIDE OF PROF. GRIER.
—W. F. Grier, professor of Greek and
Latin classics at Lewisburg University*
committed suicide last Sunday night
while delirious with typhoid fever,
ne had been sick for only a few days
and Sunday he received a number of
visitors at his bedside. About 9
o'clock his wife brought him his medi
cine, which he was takiog in milk. lie
gruffly ordered her to bring him; some
more milk. So sayage was his man
ner and so unusual was it with him
to speak thus, that his wife became a
larmed and left the bedside for assist
ance.
After some difficulty, she succeeded
in waking oue of the professors of the
institution and together both returned
to the sick room. The wife upon en
tering the rooiii was met with tlie sight
of her husband lying crosswise upon the
bed iu a pool of blood. During her
absence he had procured a pocket-knife
and with it cut two deep gashes into
Loth sides of his neck. These not prov
ing fatal, he cut another gash as deep
as the blade would allow across his ab
domen, and then plunged the knife in
to the left breast over the heart, where
it remained imbedded until found by
those returning. The unfortunate
man lingered for a short time and then
expired. The affair has cast a gloom
over the school, wheie Professor Grier
was a general favorite with the stu
dents, and upon the community, where
he was highly esteemed. Professor
Grier leaves a wife and two children.
He was a man of exceptionally high
iroral character, and, although but 34
years of age, he had held his late posi
tion in the University for nearly ten
years. He leaves a manuscript of a work
on "Roman Literature," that will
probably be published.— Suubury Dem.

I — l The excursion train to Oak Hall
on Monday forenoon consisted of five
passenger cars Hilled with excursion
ists. There were about 000 people in
attendance at the meeting at Oak
Hall, where addiesses wen* made by
L. A. Mackey, the president of the
meeting, lion. A.G. Ouitin, of Hello
fonte, Judge Bucher, of Lewisburg,and
James I*. Coburn, of Aaronsburg, all
of whom spoke of the work and comple
tion ot the new toad.
, —The mass meeetlng of the Demora
cy of Penns and Brush valleys last, Fri
day evening at Millheim was an im
mense affair. The evening previous
Sheriff Dimkle came from Bellefonte
and lasted bills announcing • Hon. A.
G. Onrtin the speaker of said meeting.
This was a pleasant surprise to our cit
izens and ns the news spread it created
an intense stirr and excitement. Some
of our local politicians at once set to
work to make the necessary arrange
ments for a creditable reception of our
successful congressman. Early on
Ftiday morning messengers went out
in all directious to arouse the people,
tlags and appropriate banners were
swung to the breeze and bands were en*
gaged. When near train time the
Millheim Band boarded its wagon,
which was adorned with the words
"Curtin aud Victory !" and started for
Coburn station. Soon after the liiush
Valley band and delegations from al[
the surrounding couutry followed, and
when the train, which brought the
the Governor from Union county, ar
rived, Coburn was thronged with ex
cited people aud their conveyances.
As 90011 as Curtin had left the cars
cheer after cheer went up for him and
it fairly looked for a while as if they
were going to tear him to pieces then
and there. After a few remarks by
him ou the hotel porch the long pro
cession escorted the old war governor
to Millheim where a dense crowd were
anxiously awaiting him and who receiv
ed him with warm cheering.
Supper over, the bauds consolidated
and escorted the Governor to the speak
er's stand in the Penn street school
house yard, which was filled with a
large crowd of people, who were eager
to hear him talk. The speaker was in
troduced by W. C. Heinle in a few
complimentary remarks,when the Gov
ernor took the floor and made a telliug
speech against monopoly and its de
structive influence on the country.
Ills remarks were warmly applauded.
D. F. Fortney and J. W. Geohart
also made able addresses. The enthus
iara of the people was remarkable and
fairly demonstrated their high esteem
for their distinguished representative
in Congress. It was a day for the
Democrats, which will eyer be re
membered by the citizens of th3se val
leys.
—r>Et.sAWHON£iB says the surest way
to take cold is to be always hugging the
stove. Young mau remember this,and
when you go to see your girl on Sunday
night don't spend your time hugging
the stove; but if you do get a cold Dr.
Kessler's Celebrated English Cough
Medicine can be relied upou to cure
you.
