social standing eyer since we know him.

Shoemaker performing the rites.
John have you seen that woman
lately ?
John, in astonishment: What woman?
That woman Picking Grapes, for
Speer's Wine. Just see her in auother
column and read about it,the wines
are found by chemists to be absolutely
pure and equal to the best in the
World. The Board of Health in Laige
Cities and leading Hospitals have a
dopted theii use where wines are need
ed.
—The firm of Thos. R. Reynolds &
Co., fiouriug mill at Bellefonte, has
been dissolved, aud the business will
be conducted in the future by Geo. W.
Jackson & Co. The old firm consisted
of Thos. It. Reynolds and Geo. W.
Jackson. The former retires,the latter
retains his interest iu the mill, and W.
Fred Reynolds takes his uncle's place
as the new member of the firm.
—We do not know whether the sharp
and pointed communications which
have found their way into this paper
of late are the cause of increased activi
ty in the work of repairing the turn
pike tot ween Millheim and Coburn,but
we are glad to notice that said road is
receiving more attention than hereto
fore and if the work is kept up for a
while this uiucli-traveled thoroughfare
will tie in a passable condition and fur
ther difficulties and resulting damages
will be avoided.
—Rey. C. F. Deininger and wife, of
York, Pa., and their little granddaugh
ter, Bessie Thomas, arrived in town
last week and expect to spend several
weeks among relatives and friends.
We regret to sav that Mr. Deininger's
health is greatly impaired and that his
appearance is not near as robust as it
used to be. We hope this visit among
the bills and mountains of old Penns
valley will prove beneficial to his physi
cal condition, so that he may return to
his labors a sounder and healthier man.
—On Monday evening the band had
their regular annual election of officers
which resulted as follows ; J. F. Ilar
ter, President; J. 11. B. Ilartman,
Secretary; E. W. Mauck, Treasurer.
The financial report of the secretary
showed that the cash recipts during the
past year amounted to $868.45 and that
the band alter defraying its current ex
penses and paying for their new instru
ments have a debt of SSO resting on
their horns, which they expect to be a
ble to wipe out within the next three
months. An invitation from the
Spring Mills band to attend their festi
val next Saturday evening was accept
ed and the band will go to that place in
their own conveyance.
—An exchange gives the following
valuable advise to poultry raisers. If
your peepies get the gapes, this is the
proper plan to cure them : Put the
chicks in a box or barrel, spread a piece
of coarse sacking, or cheese cloth over
the top, spread some air-slacked lime 011
the sacking, and then jar or shake it so
that fine particles of lime will sift down
among the chicks. The chicks Inhale
the lime and it kills, or paralyzes the
worms so that they lose hold on the
windpipe, the chicks expell them
by the coughing or sneezing which the
limy atmosphere induces. Keep the
chicks in the box tour or five minutes.
Sometimes a second application may to
necessary, but usually the first effects a
cure.
—We earnestly hope that the pro
posed Normal school, advertised in an
other column, will receive the proper
support ot the people of Milliieim and
immediate vicinity. We have every
reason to believe that Mr. Foreman,
the principal, is a man of broad knowl
edge and experience in his profession
and if the success of the institution jus
tifies his removal to this place the bor
ough will gain a permanent and good
citizen. Mr. Auman, his assistant, is
well-known to all our readers as a young
man of good education and splendid
character, who has ta :ght several suc
cessful terms of school here. More
than that, an opportunity of this kind,
affording thorough and systematical in
structions to our young people, should
to readily taken and heartily ercour
aged by all.

From the Bellefonte Daily News.
This affair used to to called the
Granger's Picnic, and each year was at
tended by thousands. This year it has
taken a sudden leap forward and will
be greater and grander than ever before
—hence, has been given a new name.
It will occur in September and will con
tinue two days. The site selected is
the same as before—the summit of the
Nittany Mountain. A large nnmtorof
tents will be procured from Williams
Grove and arrangements have been
completed to haye free exhibitions of
stereopticon views of Gettysburg. The
industries and manufactories—and, of
course,all agriculturists—are invited to
exhibit their products. This, it is
hoped, will attract to it many more
than before.

—Thu Centre County Farmers' Mu
tuil Fire Insurance Company, with
main ollice at Centre Ilall, have re
ceived since their last quarterly meet
ing, A/arch 22nd, A3 applications, insur
ing property to the amount of $76,625,
the premium notes amounting to $6,-
315.01 and ea.sli premiums $151.00. The
company have extended their working
territory to Jt/arion, Walker, Spring,
Bonner aud ilaifmoou townships, but
will only insure farm and country prop
erty.
—The late rains uml sulisequent
warm weather have put the wheat aud
corn-fields in a more promising condi
tion, and though things do not look as
the farmers would have it, the pros
pects, taking it on an average, are still
for a good harvest. One thing is cer
tain, there will be enough for all, and
those whose crops are an entire failure
will be able to manage over a spare sea
son as they have done before. At any
rate there is no reason to lie despondent
iu this fertile and prosperous part of
the laud.
MORE SNAKES. The Bellefonte
llaily Nurs of Monday gives the fol
lowing account of an unpleasant meet
ing with his snakeshiu, and as snake
stories are iu order we give out readers
the benefit of the article which seems
to be based on truth :
One day last week Mr. W. 11. Den
linger, of l'hilipsbuig, and Miss Laura
Wright, of .Vilesburg, were crossing
Snow Shoe mountain. While riding
happily along, thinking not of danger, a
long writhing form reared itself up in
front of them. It was a huge black
suake which at once offered battle. The
reptile looked indeed, exceedingly dan
gerous. It threw itself forward and
endeavored to entwine around anyone
who would approach. Slicks and stones
did not seem to injure it any uutil one
two pound rock, well aimed, took llis
Snakeship on thu head and killed him
dead. When the suake was examined
and measured his proportions were
found to be eleven feet in length and
one foot in circumference.
"FOURTH OK JULY CELEBRATION

Alexander, and Chas. Kurtz. Our sis
ter town displays deal of get up
and with such a set of wide-awake com
mittee men their anticipations of a rous

alized.

—We were astonished to find the an
nexed article both in the Harrisburg
Patriot ana in the Lewisburg Saturday
Neirs, when at the same time the re
porters of this paper, published right
in the midst of the would-be afflicted
section of Centre county, seemed en
tirely ignorant of anything of tho kind.
Upon inquiry we are informed that
there are two or three gardens in Aa
ronsburg, where the snails did more or
less damage, but in no case to the ex
tent represented in the exaggerated
tale. Another thing which puzzles the
reader is the mention of a place in
Penns Valley by the name of Bloom
field. There is no such place to our
knowing nor has anybody else ever
heard of such a town. The reporter to
said papers must have a very vivid im
agination and a strong passion for pic
turing a comparatively insignificant
occurrence in the loudest colors i>ossi
ble. To say the least there is but little
truth in the account as our readers
may judge for themselves :
A PLAGUE OF SNAILS.
They are Eating Every Grown Thing
In Centre County.
Special dispatch to the Sews.
BELLEFONTE, Pa., June 10.—The
entire lower portion of Centre county is
at present plagued by a most extraor
dinary visitation of snails or garden
slugs They come from their hiding
places in crevices, under boardwalks,
stones, etc., only at night, aud they
cover the roads and walks by the mill
ions. In Penn's Valley aud Bloomfield
and the sorrounding country they haye
eaten every grown thing in their path.
Some gardens have been entirely de
stroyed. A letter fromPenn'sVailey says
that moruings utter warm nights walks
and roads are literally covered with the
slums these insects leave in their trails
and by bushels of dead snails that have
been crushed by pedestrians and wa
gons, Lime, Paris green, salt aud oth
er insect destroyers have been scattered
liberally where the snails travel and
feed, but they have no effect on them.
The singular part of this plague is that
no insects of the kind were ever known
to be in the county before, Where they
came from or what influences have
brought tbem there so suddenly and in
such immense numbers is a mystery no
one Uas been able to solve,

BEST NOURISHMENT FOR CONSUMP
TIVES.—Consumptive persons are said
to le greatly benefited by the use of
Spool's Port Grape Wine, both Fer
mented And Unfermented. It seems to
give nourishment when everything else
fails. The rich properties of the wine
derived from the iron in the soil on
which the grapes grow makes new
blood and If it does not cure, we be
lieve it prolongs life in many cases of
consumption. In fact,cases have been
reported of perfect cures being effected
by the use of Speer's Port Wine.
—Druggists as a rule are extremely
jealous and careful of the honor of their

and effectiveness as a worm destroyer,
McDonald's Celebrated Worm Powders

to recommend them. Dissatisfied buy
