— l The first coasting accident we
heard of in this town happened to Ver
non Rook on Thursday evening. He
came down the icy pavement on Main
street nill with other boys, when the
sled took a sudden turn and ran a
gainst one of the porches. His
leg struck the corner of the porch and
he sustained a fracture of the small
bone of his light leg. lie is now lying
at the National hotel under treatment
and is doing tolerably well. The night
of the accident was very daik, which
with the narrowness of the pavement,
made the sport exceedingly dangerous
and it is a wonder that none < f his com
pud uts we: H hurt.
—The m cps e ity for more school room
in this borough becomes more percepti
ble every season, and if, as is the prob
ability, Millheim's population will in
crease with the airival of new indus
tries and the natural influx of laboring
people, some provisions will haye to be
made before another year passes for the
accomodation of additional pupils.
Would it not be policy for the school
board to t. he this matter }n considera
tion at an iily i y ? For sanitary
reasons, if fur nothing else, our school
rooms should 5! >t he permitted to be
overcrowded and a are sure that a
maj uity of our r.i 55011s will endorse,
any action the b > .1 1 nay take to reme

A new school building, ontai ling six
rooms, with an average seating capaci

The disastrous conflagration which
consumed the Hush Arcade, one ot
Bellefonte's most Imposing business
blocks, on Sunday morning, Jan. Oth,
swept away every vestnge of tho A7//-
stonc Ciuzdtc printing establishment,
not a scrap of paper that could aid us
in re establishing our business relations
with our patrons being saved. Tho in
surance, at this writing unadjusted,
was s2,ooo,which represents but a small
portion of the financial loss we have
sustained, but relying upon the friendly
co-operation winch has hitherto been
extended, we confidentially appeal to
our friends to come to our assistance in
this hour of disaster. The less of our
subscription books leaves us without
any means—except our memory and the
aid that tho post-masters may be able
to render, to restore our circulation,and
we request that till persons who have
been receiving the paper immediately
report the fact, with the date when
their subscription began. We have
never asked our patrons for money, the
yoluntarv advances received with our
regular 'commercial business enab'ing
us to meet cuirent demands without
embarrassment, but this unlocked tor
emergency compells us to ask that
financial sympathy without which re
sumption of business will prove exceed
ingly ditlicult if not impossible. It
what we have earned and is now past
due is promptly paid, we shall within a
very brief time renew our visits to our
patrons in better form than that wdiieh
vanished in smoke in the disaster
which involved us with many of our
immediate neighbors in most disheart
ening misfortune.
We have opened an otlice in the room
next door to Hastings A Feeder's law
otlice, opposite the post otlice, where we
shall be pleased to receive our friends.

We beard considerable comment
made 011 our'article in last week's Jour

an item. We think it was proper and
not half strong enough. We try to
give the news of the place and should
anything coma under our notice which
is of interest, or effects the place, we
will give it whether it pleases all or not.
It is impossible to please all and there
are always those who find fault with
everything, and in our opinion, those
who talked the most were the ones who
were hit the hardest.
