—The Indiana Times of a recent
date says : The Walter Main Circus
troupe gave two performances here

ed. It is one of the old fashioned
"road shows," and gives more gen
uine amusement for 23cents, than any
railroad show that has visited us.
The D'Alma family is a whole show
itself, while the general acrobatic and
other performances were unsurpassed.
The wonderfully trained dogs of Prof.
May are alone worth the price of ad
mission.
—The painters are about Uuishing .1.
W. Stover's store oo Main street and
it will be one of the neatest and most
pleasant business places iu town. The
front panel work is painted jet black,

tractive. The two show windows are

Mr. Stover will make an announcement
of it through the JOURNAL.

seeing ; the contortionists were A No.
1 ; the trapeze performances were goo. l.
Main's show is one of the best little
shows on the road, as the large audi
ence which attended on Friday even
ing will testify.— Cononshurg, Pa., lia

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. Last
Wednesday morning, Mrs Jacob Breon,
residing on one of Jonathan Darter's
farms in Pena township, was at Elias
Smith's, about a mile east of Penn
Ilall, to pick sour cberiies. She had
climed on one of the trees, and being a
lusty woman, her weight proved too
much for the limb she stood on. It
broke and she fell heavily to the ground
sustaining a severe fracture of the left
arm near the wrist. She also received
some bruises about her body and could
not be removed to her home until the
next day. Medical assistance was at
once procured and the lady is doing as
well as can be expected. •
—Cha9. Guinness Co., from New
York, who played Peck's Bad Boy and
That Awful Girl in the towu ball of
this place last Jfonday evening, gave a
better entertainment than we had here
for many years. It is a most humor
ous play and the actors performed their
rolls to such perfection that the au
dience was kept in an uproarious mer
riment during the whole evening. As
part of the proceeds were to go to the
baud, the boys gaye the town and sur
rounding country a good canvass be
forehand and were rewarded by a full
house. The street parade in the even
ing was rendered very comical by the
donkey and the "royal bumper" fol
lowing the band wagon. If ever the
the troupe returns to this town, we
think they will draw a larger crowd.
Gor.ED TO DE\TII.— On Saturday
afternoon, July 3rd, Mrs. Samuel Wal
ker, of Nittany Valley, while driving
some cattle to the field, was attacked
by a vicious bull. The mad animal
dragged the unfortunate lady for sever
al rods, goring her teriibly all the
while and finally left her to her fate,
with three broken ribs and other ser
ious internal injuries. IJer little girl,
who witnessed part of the accident but
could be of no assistance, gave the a
larm by ringing the farm bell, which
brought the men, who were at work on
the fields, and who carried the wounded
lady to the house. She laid there
in great pain until Sunday when she
became unconscious aud remained so
until the time of her death, ou the fol
lowing Tuesday.
—The Fourth was an exceedingly
quiet day in Millheim, owing to the
busy haying and harvest season. But
shortly after sundown the farmers
flocked to town and the streets became
crowded with people. The band
struck up on Main street and
marched down Penn to the rink, where
the festival of the M. E. Ladies' Mite
Society was in progress. Naturally
the crowd followed the band and soon
the managers and waiters of the festi
val had their hands full attending to
the wants of their numerous customers
Business was brisk there until a late
hour and the people seemed in splen
did spirits as they gathered around the
many well-arranged tables to partake
of the delicious ice cream ana cakes,
while the band for more than an hour
filled the spacious building with de
lightful strains of music. The net
proceeds irora the festival amounted to
over $72. At about half past nine o'-
clock a nice display of fireworks was
given on the sheep hill, east of town,
which was witnessed with much admir
ation by those who could get there in
time to see it.
DEATH. —On Friday, .Inly 2nd, Mrs.
Hurler, the widow of Geo. Ilarter,
dec'd, late of Millheiiu, departed this
life at Annville, Lycoming county,
where she resided for the last few years
with a sister. Her husband, who was
a well-known clti'/.en of this place, pro
ceeded her about four years ago. The
lady had reached the age of 78 years,
0 months, and 8 days, and died
in the full hope of a faithful
christian. Her funeral took place on
Sunday and was attended by a number
of her relations from this place, among
them (J. W. Ilarter, EuTl. Ilarter and
wife, Mrs. A. It. Alexander.
A SHOCKING DEATH. —On Satur
day morning, July Jrd, tlie community
around Centre Hill, this county, was
gieally horrified by the drowning of
Mrs. Mollle NefT, widow of the late
Col. Josiah Neff, of Centre Ilill. The
Bellefonte Daily Nem in chronicling
the sad occurrence goes on to say that
Mrs. Neff and her daughter. Miss Sue
NefT, resided together in a flue country
residence on ono of the bast farms in
Centie county. She was a lady of a
bout Go years of age, of excellent phys
ical health, but recently she imagined
that she was ill and called in medical
assistance. The result of the* medi
cal examination was that Mrs. NefT
was well physically, hut that, by reason
of receit troubles, chief among which
was the death of her husband about
two years ago, her mind was becoming
deranged and her friends were advised
to re double their 4A*o of her.
On Saturday morning her daughter
left her upstairs, and on returning to
her mother's room not more than
twenty minutes afterwards could not
find her. She went Into the garden to
look for her mother aud when she ap
proached the cistern she noticed that a
plank had been removed. Looking
down into the cistern sho saw the cold,
white face of her mother looking up at
her. Death had already set its seal up
on her brow.
As soon as possible the grief-stricken
woman summoned assistance and the
inanimate body was raised from the
cistern.
PLENTY AND YET NOT ENOUGH.—
Tho officer of tho law who exercises
his authority in preserving order and
decorum with discretion and impartial
ity is a personage that cannot bo es
teemed too highly in a community.
Existing laws, be they state or local,
must be observed and enforced and in
view of this the arrest of a certain
young man, who on the morning of
last Fourth of July violated that sec
tion of the boro' ordinances which pro
hibits the discharge of iiro ci ackers up
on our streets, met with the full ap
proval of all law -abiding citizens.
This timely action of our high consta
ble nipped the evil In the bud and put
a stop to thc*nui3auce at least during
•lay time.
Hut, as in many other cases, there is
a dark side to this thing of being a po
lice officer. Ilis activity should not be
confined to broad daylight and quiet
streets, but should continue aud in
crease in the hours of night and in
crowded public places. It is then and
there that the keen and piercing eye of
a vigilant policeman is needed most,
when boisterous and disorderly crowds
should be dispersed and unruly charac
ters dealt with iu a stern and fearless
manner, and without distinction as to
standing or family connections. Now
on the evening of the Fourth we notic
ed an ui common amount of rowdyism
and profanity, especially in the vicinity
of the rink on Penn street, where the
M. E. Mite Society were holding their
festival. Several drunken "roughs"
filled tho air with hideous language and
heavy oaths and amused themselves by
throwing burning firecrackers at pass
ers-by. Hut, strange to say, our high
constable who bad begun the day so
well in attending to the duties of his
office, made himself only conspicuous
by his persistent absence and the swag
gerers had all the elbow room they
wanted. We,aud many others,thought
there was a decided lack of police and
while there was plenty of it iu the fore
noon, there was not near enough in the
evening. We do not want to censure
nor dictate, but the marked difference
between the general behavior in the
day time and that In the eyeuing do
seryes at least a comment.
OBITUARY.— It is with sadness that
we record the death of Mrs. Clara Ul
rich, eldest daughter of Major J. B.
Fisher, of Penn Hall. She peacefully
fell asleep on the evening of July Ist,
having arrived at the age of 30 years.
10 months and 13 days. On the 2Sth
of April, 1885, site stood in bridal array
by the side of her affianced husband
and, with the prospect of a happy life
in wedlock, cast in her lot with his.
Kind-hearted and noble-minded, she
was fitted to be a helpmeet indeed.
The house which was to be their home,
and in which they were to share each
others joys,was already furnished when
sickness set in and terminated in her
death. She was never permitted to
occupy it.
Mrs. Ulrich was a member of the
Reformed church and a truly christian
lady. Baptized in her infancy by ltev.
M, A. Smith, and growing up in a
Christian family and in the bosom of
the church, and finally confirmed by
Rey. C. H. Reiter, she never knew a
time when she was not a Christian and
did not serve her Master. In all her
life time she was a devoted Christian
and grew to be very active and useful
io ber church. Though modest and re
tired in her life she did not shrink from
duty. She was a faithful teacher in
the Sunday school. Skillful in the art
of music she, for a number of years,
served the Sunday-school and congre
gat ion in the capacity of organist. In
her sickuess which continued nearly
a month, she was peaceful and resign
ed to the will of her Heavenly Father.
The daily study of her Bible, hymn
book and catechism as well as faithful
ness in her private pinyer, had prepar
ed her to be so. Out of the abundance
of her heart, accordingly, she praised
her God and sweetly sang "Rock of
Ages" and "Jesus loyer of my soul,"
and discoursed freely on faith and the
practical duties of Christian life ; and
when she had ended, calmly folding her
hands on her breast, she exclaimed.
"Now lam ready to die." The hour
of this spiritual transportation will
ever be remembered by those who were
present. She died in the triumphs of
faith. On the following day her in
fant d aughter was baptized and named
Lola Miriam, a name of her own selec
tion. Her remains were interred at
Salem's church on the 4th inst. on
which occasion her pastor preached on
Romans 8 : 18 to a crowded house and
was assisted by Rev's. D. M. Wolf and
J, M, Eyans, *
W. Wolf, of Fiedler, Haines
township, wishes to notify the farmers
that he will run his steam threshing
machine throughout the season in
l'enns, Brush ami Sugar Valleys. Per
sons wishing to eng.igo his services
will receive perfect satisfaction.
—Reuben Grimm, of jl/adisonburg,
wishes to say that John Klinefelter of
J/illheim has finished painting his
house and has made a No. 1. job of it.
Mc. Grimm considers Klinefelter the
best paiuter in the state, who is hard
to beat on graining, and whoso prices
are very reasonable. Henry J/iller, bis
assistant, is alsu an excellent painter,
but will fall off the scafT >lds some
times. Mc. Grimm cheerfully recom
mends Khnfelter to any parties who
may iiave soino painting to do.
