—lf any one thing has been oftener
and more forcibly pressed upon public
attention through the newspapers than
another it is the fact that the most un
safe place a person can seek for refuge
during a thunder storm is the shelter
of a tree. It is the place most persons
seek when storm driven, and more |>er
sons have been killed by lightning while
there than in any other place. Most
people know this, but still they rush
upon their destruction with a prompt
ness that is simply unaccountable.
Already this season many deaths liaye
been reporU*d of persons who have
sought such shelter, and the list will no
doubt La* much longer buiore the sum
mer is over.— Ex.
—lt wasn't Mary's lu'tle lamb that
came to Miss McElroy's school room
last Monday, but it created lots of ex
citement among her scholars all the
same. A (lock of lambs was being
driven through Penn street, when, lor
some reason the drove scattered in all
directions and one of the lambs made
its way through au opening in the
school yard fenctf, ran uptolheopeu
school room door and proceeded up on
the platform. There was a sudden rise
in the position of the female scholars
some taking refuge from the imaginary
enemy on top of their desks. Two of
the bravci boys were deputized to eject
the intruder and after some time the
teacher succeeded in restoring the us
ual quietness of her school room.
CLOSE ESCAPE.—OU Monday after
noon as the eaetbound train neared I.e
mont, David Blair and family, of that
place, met with an accident that might
have cost their lives. They were driving
home in a two-horse spring wagon and
had just passed over the railroad cross
ing on the other side of Lcmotit, when
the train came thundering along. Mr.
Blair's horses took fright and made a
sudden jump to the side of the road,
running the wagon against the fence
and hurling the driver out on his
head. He struck a stone pile and re
ceived a large gash in his head and was
severely bruised otherwise. The horse
succeeded in breaking away from the
wagon and Mrs. Blair and the two chil
dren who had all this time kept their
seats esca|>etl without a hurt. The
train stop|>ed and returned to the scene
of the accident. Mr. Blair was picked
up unconscious and put on the train to
be taken home to
ies when examined closely by a physi
cian were found uot to be dangerous,
but painful, and he can be very thank
ful that he and his family had such a
miraculous escape.
—The committee on the Patrons' Picnic
and Exhibition of Centre county, to be
hold on top of Nittanv Mountain, near
Centre Hall, Septeiulier 14 and 15, is push
ing its work vigorously,and now promises to

kind ever held in the county. Arrange
ments for tents have already been fully
completed, and the committee is now ready
to furnish any nuinlier of them wnnted and
to all persons applying. Nearly all the
Grangers have already engaged tents lie
sides many private individuals, and all
other applications should be made as soon
as possible.
Arrangements have also lcen completed
with the Gettysburg railroad company to
give stereoptican exhibitions of the views
of the Gettysburg battle Held on large can
vasses. These exhibitions will be given two
nights free of charge, along with many
other novel and interesting scenes under
the management of Messrs. Hartrond &
Long. It is a marvel how the Patrons of
our county are able to give such an inter
esting exhibition free of charge, as they ate
usually accompanied with heavy expense.
The majority of our home manufacturers
and dealers in agricultural implements
have engaged space for the exhibition of
their wares and implements, and no doubt
there will l>e many more applications Ik>-
fore the Exhibition O|H-IIH.
An effort is being made to secure an
exhibition of thorough-bred horses and
cattle. Those who desire to bike advan
tage of this feature should make applica
tion early in order to enable the committee to
provide accomodation. Hay, straw etc. will
will lie furnished exhibitors of stock at a
nominal price.
The camp arrangements, under the super
vision of projier officers, will IK; most com
plete. Stoves will lie provided for cooking
pitrjioses for those wishing to hoard on the
the ground. A coffee house restaurant and
refreshment stand will serve the public so
there will lie nothing wanting for the coin
forts of those attending the Picnic and Ex
hibition.
Those desiring to tent 011 tlie ground
should provide themselves with blankets
and wraps for protection at night.
Application will be made to the court for
the apiKiintnient of police force. None but
licensed houses will be allowed on or with
in one nr'.e of the ground.
Applications for restaurants, refreshment

As the delegate election is drawing near

en eandidates for different olliees met here
at one time one ilay last week.
t'obiirn hail the largest crowd of people
on Saturday last that were ever here at one
time. People came for miles to w ituess the
full race W'liieh had been advertised, and al
so took ill the festival. The crowd was es
timated at from 400 to 300 )M.THOIIH The
tul race# eaw oil'as per announcement and
wen* the caime of a great amount of merri
ment, kii'ping the crowd in the best of
laughing and cheering humor. In the first
race Thus. Kvert, of Cohurn, tisik the first
prize of $2.50, John Kerwtetter, of Milliieiiii,
tistk 2nd prize of (I.SO and the 3rd prize of
$1 was equally divided bet weenWm. (Scttig,
of bisiug Springs, and Ed. Cassler, of Co
litiru. In the second race for hoys there
were tint two entries. The first prize of
£2.00 was captured by Will Cantner, of Co
hum, and the 2nd prize of f 1 was awarded
to tieo. VanValin, of Cohurn. The toys
did very well. The judges, I>r. Frank,
Sipiiri' Eisenhuth and Jacob Genteel ileserve
credit for tin;, fairness shown in awarding
the prizim. The crowuing feat which many
did not see owing to their ts-ing unaware of
the fact until a moment la-fore it was done,
was a dive made from the topmost ]s>int of
tin* bridge into the crrek, a distance of a
lsiut 23 feet. The dive was successfully
made by Mr. Searle. The Milllieim hand
was on hand and made things lively with
tine music.
After the race* all bauds turned out to
the festival where the building and grounds
w ere soon one mass of people, and the wait
ers were kept busy and could not accommo
date the vast crowd for lack of space. The
only drawl tack to the occasion was that
those In charge of the festival had not pre
pared for so Urge a crowd and consequently
ran out of ice cream an.l other things in the
early jart of the evening, while if enough
had lie on prepared we are sure the receipts
would have run over SI(W. The festival
netted the ladies some stiO.
We have learned from our merchants
that Mat unlay evening's sport was a big
lienertt to them. Mr. Swengle, of Durham
Bros. A Co., says it helped their sales at
least fit. IS. F. Vonada says it helped him
SSO. .1. W. Glasgow says sl2 and Mr. Mey
er claims it heljiod his sales $35, and taking
the festival and other money left here it
cau be seen that nearly S3OO was brought to
our little village on Saturday evening in
excess of what would have been, had there
lteeii nothing going on. And all this on an
outlay of sl7, and still we have a few croak
ers who will sit down on any attempt that
is made by a few to get up something of
this kind. We think the promoters of Sat
urday evening's entertainment are entitled
to considerable credit and we know they
are thankful to those who responded so
cheerfully when called upon for lhiaucial
aid.
In eight days recently merchant Vonada
took ill 1070 quarts or 52 bushels of huckle
berries.
The heavy rains Monday raised the creek
considerable.
Henry Whitmer hail men running his
logs in the race to save them from going

DR. GALK ON DISEASES OF TIIE
KIDNEYS— Dr. Gale observes ID his

In some parts of this country where
Speer's Fort Grape Wine is principally
used, not only the gout, but the gravel
is scarcely known. Dr.La Pota relates
as an extraordinary instance of the ef
fects of Speer's Port Wine on gout, the
cure of Dr. Daveran, who was attack
ed with it at the age of twenty-Qye.and
had it severely until he was upwards of
fifty, with chalk stones in the joints of
his hands and feet, but for four years
preceeding the time when bis case had
been given to Dr. La Pota to lav beloie
the public had by advice used Speer's
Port Grape Wine, and had no return of
the gout afterwards.— London Post.
