The paper already stands at the head of weekly county papers as a live and 'ably edited demo cratic organ,hut after the contemplated change bids fair to outrival ail its con temporaries. The JOURNAL wishes the Watchman continued prosperity. —As the holidays are approaching we would call the special attention of bus iness men to the steadily increasing circulation of the JOURNAL, and the consequent benefits they will derive from planting their advertisements in this paper.

JONATHAN HART EH, 47-4t S. M. CAMPBELL. SUCCESSFUL NIMROBS.— A party of hunters, numbering ten, among them Messrs. D. A. Musser, F. P. Musser, J. fl. Musser and J. YV. Lose, all of this place spent the greater part of last week in the mountains hunting deer and returned on Friday with five of the tleet fooled creatures. Mr. D. A. Musser had the kindness to deliver a liberal slice of venison at the editor's house for which we return our best thanks. He also told us that so tar he helped to kill eleven deer this season. With such luck it must be a pleasure indeed to be out hunting. —John Ilick, the restaurant man, started oft beginning of last week to take a trip to South America, but re turned on Saturday, having only got as far as New York. He says he didn't fan cy the idea of a sea voyage,with its pos sible ups and downs and perhaps a bath in the briny deep, and concluded that the safest, place was at home and on terra firma. True, it does require some nei ve to put the plank of a vessel be tween yourself and the fathomless ocean, and it seems John's nerve wasn't there when it came to the point. Scores of others would do precisely the same thing. —A Milllieiiu correspondent to the Gazette flatly denies that the town clock has been twenty minutes fast all through the summer and makes it ap pear as if this paper had told an un truth. He says the clock has been keeping excellent time. So it has—in as much as it excelled the time of any and all other clocks in this neighbor hood. Come now, t>e a man and stick to ilie truth. Don't think that the bare contradiction of a statement does away with cold facts. Ask those who are im partial in the matter and they will tell you exactly what this paper did as to the coirectness of the town clock time. STBCK'S LECTURE.— According to prior announcement liev. Steck, of iMlefonte, delivered his lecture in the Lutheran church iu this place last Sat urday evening. By special request he changed his sutject, "Gilded Success," to "The Ilero Recognized and Unrecog nized." We would vainly attempt by our eulogies to do justice to the gentle man's merits as an orator. Suffice it to say that he kept his attentive audience spell bound for over an hour, during which time he played upon their feel ings in various ways, according to the plaintive and sentimental or the fiery and thrilling si rain of his language. It was a treat such as Millheim has not had in cur recollection and we onlv re gret llist the turnout was small, either owing to scarcity of money, or more likely to prejudice and a lack of taste for entertainments of a higher literary character. Be that as it may, those who have had the pleasure of hearing thelectuie pronounce it grand and are ready to hear Mr.Sleek again whenever opportunity affords. —GUM BOOTS! GUM BOOTS! Heavy and light weights MIX) any make you tuny wniit, at tla* shoe store on Main stieet. —From what we hear there is some probability of a public enteitaimneut to be given by the pupils of the gram mar department aliot-Lly before Christ inas. Similar occasions in the past luve IIIWM)M lieen pleasant ones ami we have no doubt that, if this entertain ment w ill come ntT,it will !h as delight ful an affair as any we have had. Let the monotony of the school rwm be broken for a brief spell by something that will direct the minds of the schol ars into a difTeient and agreeable chan nel. It may have a tendency to bright en their wit and awaken their ambi tions to acquire a higher degree of knowledge. —One of the llnest and moat telling sermons that Millheim people have had the privilege of listening to for several years was preached by Rev. Stock last Sunday evening in tlie l.uth. church. The gentleman had been prevailed upon to remain in town over Sunday, the guest of Mr. S. I>. Musscr, and in the evening kindly consented to till Hey. Deit/lev's pulpit, lie spoke to a large and interested audience, chosing for his text the words contained in ttie e'glitli verse of the lOJtd Psalm. His remarks were highly edifying ami could hardly fail to make a lasting impression on all his hearers. His admonitory re flect ions at the close of the discourse were especially calculated to touch the hidden chord of taitli in every uncon verted heart. Sermons of that tyjK. we think, should tend to create serious thoughts in the minds of all. MENSII'S ACCIDENT.— The misfor mne wliich befell our townsman, Mr. Geo. Mensh, in Bellefonte, has caused more universal regret among our peo ple than any other similar visitation has in years. It will be remembered that Mr. Mensh, when he first took the joo as brakeman on the railroad about two months ago, had one of his fingers crushed which accident necessitated his laying off for several weeks. On Mon day he resumed his duties on the road when tie met with the sad accident which aroused the sympathy of ail who know him. A coupling pin or iron rod of one of the freight cars struck him in the dark, nearly i>eueimling tiis head and lacerating his face in a frightful manner. Mensh js by no means rich in this world's goods and his ill luck sets hard on his family. lie is said to be doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.— On last Thursday Mr. John Jungle, resid ing in the Mountains, southwest of here, near the mountain church, was out felling trees when his axe glanced off, striking his leg lietween the knee and tlie ankle and severing one or the main arteries. He was alone and about a mile frmu his home and no other hab itations being near he attempted to reach bis own dwelling, hut failed. It seems the unfortunate man had not the presence of mind to stop the flow of blood by bandaging the wound hut dragged himself along until too weak and died in the hands of some hunters to whose camp he had managed to get, about two hours after the thing had occurred. The men carried Mr. Lengle's body to his home, where a grieved wife and six children now mourn his sad death. He was a well tiUilt, healthy man. atiout forty-eight years of age, and earned a livelihood by hard bone labor. His funeral took place on Sunday and was largely at tended. Deceased was a brother-in-law of our townsman. W. N. Auman. and a brother of Miss Jane Lengle, of this place. THE MILLIIEIM BOY AOAIN.— It is still an o|>en question whether the small fry in this borough will ever be endowed with that priceless trait, com mon sense, and learn the first I. ssotis of decency aiid decorum. The smart (?) trick which was played during services in the Lutheran church on last Sunday eveniug almost convinces us that some of our young fellows are simply be yond hope as far as good behavior is concerned. It was a very dark night and a number of people had brought their lanterns along, which they left in the vestibule, exacting to use them on their homeroad. When after the ser vices they went to light them they found the wicks turned down below the burners and were considerably delayed in repairini the mischief done. As usual, the miscreants are unknown,and thev can thank their stars for it. Some plan should te adopted either by the local authorities or by the church mem hers to break up the habit of loafing a rouno church doors and in the vesti bules. We think that if each congrega tion would appoint its private detective with orders to guard against all loafing and loitering around the church prem ises, and em|Kiwer him to arrest those who are caught in such acts as the one referred to above, it would effectually stop the annoyances which our people are subjected to by our smart young men. THE CULVKY MURDER TRIAL.— In the Clinton county court on Monday the case of the common wealth against Luther Shaffer, John W. Johnson, He nry Kline and Essie Kiine was called. The defendants are charged with com mitting the double Colby murder at Cherry Hun last August. Separate trials were granted the prisoners, and Luther Sliafer was set down by the dis trict attorney as the first to stand trial for the murder of Colby. Alter many challenges a jury was chosen. The hearing of evidence, began Tuesday af ternoon at 2 o'clock. The names of the jurors areas follows : Kiuanucl Robbins, farmer, Pine Creek ; .loin* Fluff, farmer, Chapman township : Frank Barnhart. laborer, Colebrook town ship ; Miles Caldwell, htltorer, Haiti Kagle township ; Samuel Smith, laborer, Thiol ward Look Haven : Thus. Hurke ; William Kyer, farmer, Beer,. Creek : Frank A. Hey th ick, Fourth ward Lock Haven : Freder ick Amm, farmer, Oreen township ; .Jacob Messerly, laborer, Dunstable township ; Charles If. Shoemaker, elerk, Second ward Lock Haven ; (teorge Iler, carpenter, Dun stable township. District Attorney Brown opened the case for the Commonwealth on Tuesday morn ing by stating to the jury the nature of the case, telling how the victims had been found, and giving a full history of the mur der. Mr.Brown stated that the evidence would l>e circumstantial, but he thought it would be found strong enough to enable the jury to render their verdict without much trouh le. That Luther Sliafer sold the Isaiah Cul vey watch to a jeweler at Itenovo would be proved among the evidence given. •John Culvey was the first witness sworn and his testimony taken. P. J. David, the surveyor, was'the next sworn, and he ex plained maps and drafts made of the place where the murder had been committed. Mrs. Anna Cuivey, mother of the murder ed man, and wjfe of .John Culvey was next sworn and called on the witness stand, Charles Culvey, aged 14 years, Solomon Peck, of Walker twp , Centre Co., Abram Stein, Lock Haven, Dr. It. Armstrong and Dr. A. G. Walls, also of Lock Haven, and Samuel Cans, of Tylersville, were then heard as witnesses and the court adjourned until 2 o'clock, p. 111. Local Correspondence. AARONHIIt RG.

The street lamps in front of the Journal store and Daniel Zcigler'a residence slioiild lie lit on nights as dark as last Sunday night and another lamp should be placed tuidway between the Journal store atlJ the Lutheran church. Peun street would tbeu be vs ell lit up for cliureh going jieople. ( You are right, Mr. correspondent, but not why commence at home with reform —Kd.] * COLLL! ltN. Quite a number of jieople went to IWlle foutu on Monday to attend the second week of court. The lecture in Millheim on Saturday eve uiug as far as the lecturer went was a grand success, but financially did not amount to much and goes to show that a lecture is not appreciated in this section by most of the people. To those who dio attend the parties having it in charge return their thanks for the attendance. The slaters arrived this forenoon and are now slating the roof of the new church which when finished will lie all that will hedouo until next spring. Goo. Mensch was badly injured on Mon day last while coupling ears uearllellefoute. An iron rod projected from one end of the car and lieitig dark could not be seen. The rod was pushed into his head on the right side and uiade an ugly and painful wound. At this writing he is getting along nicely. On Tuesday the freight train going east was wrecked at Pardee, breaking up sever al cars but injuring no one. The wreck caused the passenger train to be several hours late. \V. 11.

Let the go<iJ work go on. There is still room for improvements. Keulien ltracht and his sister Lizzie spent Saturday and Sunday with friends in Sugar Valley. A member of the "skunk society" was mean enough to throw a decayed chicken in the public well in this place thereby tnak ing the water unfit for use. Stealing in Ifctgtown --till continue*. A certain individual, not a thousand miles fron. here, who seems to lie one of those chronic grumblers, claims that the (ireeubriar items do the JoritXAi. more harm than gtiod. We fear that is all the gentleman knows about it. We kuow that the Jot "UN AI. is gaining ground around here and we are assured that it is welcome wherever ft is taken. As far as we can learn the person sjmkon of don't get the JOURNAL o- any other newspaper and that accounts for a great deal of his talk. Mr. Aaron Ulrich lias improved his home by placing a new fence aroatid it. But the new fence didn't keep out the bold thief who entered through the hack window of his shop on Friday evening and helped himself to half the sausages which had been made that day. Mr. Ulrich thinks he knows the thief and advices him to return the stolen sausage. Mrs. John Garey had a had fall last Thurs day. She was unconscious for over two hours ami at this writing is still unable to walk.

He has now on hand and ready for the eastern market 2200 pounds of tur keys and aliout 400 pounds in ducks ami geese. Two Coburn nimrods were out hunting last week but hwt themselves in the woods, alsitit half a mite south from Greenbriar. It looked as if they had been spirited a way. Master Frank Wingard, one of the schol ars at IJlierty thought he would have some fun'with a cartridge shell one day last week. He loaded It with jxmder and ball with the intention of shooting it through a board. But the thing went oft' before he was ready ami the result is n blackened and scorched face. It might have lieen worse. Frank thinks he will hereifter lie content to play with empty cartridges. Sim3ii Uhoads, with his usual good luck, killed a big buck while out hunting lust week. Perry Wingard, who has been hunt ing for the past eight years and never hit anything, because, as the people say, he couldn't, get down to business for ouce and shot *a Ave-pronged buck weighing 200 pounds and a doe that dressed 85 lbs. The latter lie sold for $25. The whole party got Ave deer, and Perry says I killed two of them and didn't get the buck fever either, v >■ YOUJCG HICKORY. WOODWARD.
