-•It is reported that Rev. Fisher, the
Lutheran minister at Centre Hall, will
resign as pastor of that charge to ac
cept a call from some other place.
However, as we are not acquainted
with the facts in the case we cannot
vouch for the truth of the report.
ALL Lung, Heart, Spine, Throat
and Head affections, as well as all

coal.

Miss Ida A Musser. of Orbisonia, who
is a daughter of our townsman, Mr.
Ilgen Musser, has ciphered out that it
is safer and far more practicable to
have a Cypher beside tier own figure
while traversing life's ups and downs.

G. A. R. SUPPER.— The Grand Army
Republic post of this place have comple
ted arrangements to partake of a fust
class supper at the National Hotel, on
the filth of next month. We say a
first-class supper, because it is under
stood that a meal gotten up by landlady
Shafer will compare with the veiy best.
The boys in blue will .lie all by them
selves and even newspaper reporters
will be excluded. But we take it for
granted all the same that the veterans
will have a royal lime.
MASON & HAMLIN PIANOS.— Mason
& Hamlin bid fare to become as famous
for their pianos as they have long been
for their world-renowneil organs. The
distinguished feature about the Mason
A Hamlin Piano is an important im
provement in the method ot holding the
strings. They are secured bv metallic
fastenings, instead of by the friction of
pins set in wood, as has been the case,
and the advantages resulting are highly
important. Wonderful beauty and
musical quality of lone ; far less liabil
ity of getting out of tune ; greater reli
ability in trying climates ; and greater
solidity of construction and durability
are secured.
Lov ELAND'S STORK BURNED.— The
large general store of W. F. Loy eland,
at Yankeetown, near Clintondale, in
Nittany Valley, was totally destroyed
by fire on Monday night lust, with ev
erything in it. llow il caught is not
known, but it is supposed the object
was robbery. A tremendous explosion
was heaid about midnight, when the
building was at once observed to be on
fire. Previous to the explosion one
person avers that he heard a wagon
driven up to the sioie. If this is true
it was probably loaded with valuables
and diiven off. The loss is estimated
at between so,ooo and &6,ooo.— Clinton

A GOOD OLD AUK.—Mr. Joseph Jor
(IHII > of Anronsbui'tt, ceiebr.tU tl his
eighty-third birthday on last Thursday,
the 17ih instant, while Mrs. Joidan,
his estimable life companion, and who
lias been an invalid now for nearly six
>eais, celebrated her eighty-Ural birth
day on the 23rd of September last.
Truly God has blessed this honored
couple with great ago and the writer
hopes they may lie permitted them to pass
many tnoio milestones on life's road. <■

Friday that the private residence of lna
parents, in Asherton, Northumberland
Co., was entirely destroyed by Ore on
Thursday forenoon, and he took the
afternoon train to hasten home and
render all the assistance possible in such
circumstances. The building was a
three story brick bouse, nearly new,and
had been elegantly furnished from top to
bottom. Of the goods in the upper two
stories nothing couhl lie saved. The
contents of the lbst story were by al
most superhuman efforts gotten out of
the building. Mr. Kaufftnau Sr. and
family were for the time being home
less and were compelled to use the hos
pitality of their neighbors. It is sup
posed that the fire originated trom a
beating pipe on one of the upper floors.
Mr. Kauffman carried insurance on the
building and furniture, but is still a
heavy loser.

—There is considerable discussion as
to the practicability ot taking the turn
pike off the bauds of the company
which controls the same at present, and
change it into township roads. We
ho'd that the proposition Is a good one.
Townships and boroughs are surely
able and willing to keep the turnpike
rrotrt m aw ueoeut eotvntmn ns tnetr
own roads are generally k*pt and it
would naturally tie to their own and
the taxpayers' interest to do the work
as cheaply as possible. We fail to see
a reasonable cause why turnpikes
should be in the bands of a few men,
who form a company for the apparent
purpose of speculating with the enter
prise. The public roads are for the ac
cotnodation of the people and the i>eo
ple we think would be fully able to
manage the repairs and work on such
roads. Our Smith Town correspondent
has a few words to say on the subject
this week. The columns of the JOUR
NAL will as heretofore be open for a fair
and decent discussion of the subject.
LECTURE AT MILMIF.IM.—A lectuie
will IK 1 delivered in the Lutheran

whose fame as an orator is wide-spread,
will on this occasion lecture on "Gilded
Success" and it is said by those who
have heard him speak on tins subject
that it is equal to any of his superior
discourses. The admission will be 25
arid 15 cents, and the proceeds are for
the benefit of the new Lutheran church,
in course of erection at Coburn. All
who would enjoy a rare literary treat
and who are interested in church work
should come and hear the lecture. The
following are a few of the many notices
commenting upon Mr. Steck's lectures
and will show conclusively that he is
one (if the most popular speakers on the
platform :
"Mr. Steck's oratory is superb, and
Ins lecture equal to h sdelivery."— (Jen.

HALL'S
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be fncurcble.
For a pieat many years Doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies,and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it Incurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cuie now on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly upon
the hlood and mucus surfaces of ttie
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it falls to cure. Send

SMITH TOWN.
Last week's JOI'KKAL was jammed full
of local news and correspondence, making
it a newspaper in the strictest sense of tlie
word. What we like about it is, that, j>o
litioal campaign or not, its local columns
are always brimful of news.

Since nearly all our farmers are obliged
to haul water from the public watering
place it strikes us that tlie fence is about 6
or ff feet out over tlie line. When a man
lias liU team at tlie trough for the purpose
of loading water, a job which occupies from
one to two hours, it is iuqiossihle for a big
wagon to pass. The sujiervisors should see
to this matter at once.
The question whether or not we will have
turnpike monopoly any longer has arisen
in fin- minds of the people, and it is a ques
tion which bears discussion every time. We
for owe agree with our friend who started
the subject in last week's JOCRNAL. Turn
pikes prove a nuisance to our people here,
in as much as we must pay heavy road
taxes and still have to pay exliorhifaut toll
when we wish to go away. Smith Town
and Millheim jieople, whether they want to
go to Aaronsburg or to l'cnn Hall, or to the
railroad station, or to Brnshvaliey, must
pay a heayy toll, and all the while have
their full share of road taxes to pay. Now
If the turnpike running east and west were
a township road, l'cnn township could and
would have it iu better condition than it is
now. That is. l'cnn township would do it's
share with £lO or slsexpense a year,averag
ing from 5 to 10 cts. outlay for each taxpay
er. And that would do away with the toll
gates and give a man a chance to drive a
long without having to stop every few miles
to satisfy the demands of the hungry turn
pike company. So much for this time.
Hope to hear from others. J I'M HO.
