—We find it necessary to inform our

compellel to return them to tho sen

repeatedly been urged to get the money

—The New Year brings Calendars
by the score ; but Hood's Household
Calendar-Almanac is literally "head
and shoulders" above all others. Tho
beautiful child's face, in colors, will
ornament any home for the whole of
ISsT.and will constantly grow in favor.
The pid,containing the months,is neat
ly at d concisely arranged, profusely il
lustrated by wood engravings, and con
tains besides the usual Calendar feat
ures, all the information worth having
which is usually given in almanacs.
Hood's Calendar-Almanac is beautiful,
condensed, practical. It may bo had
at the druggists, or by sending six
cents in stamps to C. I. Hood & Co.,
Lowell, Mass.
—■Tobogganing is getting to bo a
very popular amusement in t'.o larger
places. It is practically coasting on
an improved plan and both ladies and
gentlemen, old and young, take a hand
in this invigorating sport and daily en
joy a few hours in innocent pleasure.
Wonder what some of our Millheim
people would say if such a thing was
got ten up here. They even growl and
file objections against a few coasters
quietly sliding down the hills. Wake
up from your Rip Van Winkle sleep,
you are twenty-five years behind time.
Try and put yourselves in the y njng
folk's place and do not attempt to
make old men and women out of them
before their time.

Doath of Edmuuct Blanchard, Hcq.
Tram the Rellefonto Pally News.
An event which served to sadden
the ('hiislmas gladness of this commu
nity occurred Monday morning Dec.
27ih, at I) o'clock, it being the death of
Edmund Blanchard, Esq., at his home
on High street. The deceased was one
of Bollefonte's most inlluential citizens.
Ho was connected with the oldest and
most respected families in this vicinity,
lie was a man of broad culture, a well
informed lawyer and held in the high
est esteem as a citizen and by the
members of his profession, lie and
liis brother, Evan Blanchard, Esq.,
formed a strong legal partnership and
represented Pennsylvania railroad in
terests in this vicinity.
lie had been confined to the house by
illness only a month, during which
time alt his friends in this town and
vicinity had united in showing respect
and attention. His sufferings were
borne with the most supreme calmness,
fortitude and patience.
A meeting of tho Centre county Bar
Association was held in tho Court
house for the purpose of expressing
their respect for tlie dead in adopting
appropriate resolutions.
The last sad ceremonies attending
tho funeral of tho late Edmund Hlanch
ard, Esq . occurred at his late residence
on High stieet at 2 o'clock p. m. on
Thursday Dec. 33-li. Tho residence
was thronged with sympathizing
friends, including the Centre County
Bar Association and very numerous
delegations from Dock Haven and
Williatusnort legal fraternities.
CoFPBit,—A largo specimen of cop
per ore was expressed to our towns
man E. 11. L ing, a few days ago. It
weighs about 3d pounds and is unus
ually rich. Tne chunk was taken from
the copper mines at Blue Wing, N. C.,
operated by ltaker & Kauffman, and in
which our friend Long holds an inter
est. Mr. Raker tarried in town sever
days a week or so ago to see how many
of our citizens may become interested
in the coloniz ttion of that part of the
country which surrounds these rich
copper belts. lie describes the loca
tion ac very pleasant, being situated
b. twoe.i Durham, thai thiifty tobacco
town of the South and Ciarksville.
Present indications point to tho build
ing of a railroad light through the
mining section and connecting with
the roads at Durham & Ciarksville.
In fact an emigrant could not strike a
better spot to settle in and prosper
than the region around tho Blue Wing
copper mines. Mr.ltaker or Mr.Kauff
man will be glad to furnish detailed in
formation whenever addressed on the
subject.
—The public installation of cfllcers
of Lieut. W. W. Bierly Post, 2GS, G.
A. It , which took place in their hall
on Main street, Monday evening was
an exceedingly pleasant and interesiing
occasion. Com. Gregg ofljeiatod as in*
stalling dtleer and af'tor the regular
ceremonies incident to that work were
gone through with the post organized
iat. ; c.nnpfna . S, viral piLintic ad
dii'ssi-.i wiMo made, the speakers being
comrade Keller, Samue l Esq.,
Hon. W. K. Alexander and Hon. Jas.
P. Coburn. The last named gentle
man was in a specially happy mood and
kept the boys and the audience in a
roar of laughter most of the time. The
speaker made no secret of the fact that
he was nil the time thinking of that
oyster supper which was to follow the
campdre and the thought seemed to
have a very inspiring influence upon
his well-set remarks. In behalf of the
post lie extended a very warm invita
' tion 10 all to proceed to Hook's hotel
after adjournment to partake of an oys
ter repist. An amusing part of the
programme was the "Beef contract"
• read by Adj. W. A. Tobias. The
speecln s and jocular stories were inter
spersed by music furnished by Miss
Mable M. Musser and Miss Eva Wetzel
at the organ and Dr. J. F. Ilarter on
ihe cornet. There was a fair attend
ance bv outsiders. Many more would
have U. en there had it been more gen
erally known. The oyster supper at
the National was greatly enjoyed by all
present and formed a delightful closing
piece to the evening's programme. It
Seemed that the members of the post
felt that their order is in a flourishing
condition and that they have the good
will and encouragement of the public
as far as the prosperity of the order is
concerned.

A corps of engineers are surveying

is known as the Bellefonte and Milton
railroad. Another corps of nineeugin

posed to locate a double track through

If these roads are built through here it
will give Sugar Valley a wonderful
boom.
A gentleman of Doonevillo showed

coveted but the shooting was too poor
to carry the latter prize off. *
