DEATH OF COMM INFIO N R K
LEN.—This community was much star
tled on Sunday last, to learn of the
death , of Commissioner William Keller,
who expired suddenly at his residence
in Centre Hall, on Sunday morning.
Mr. Keller was subject to heart disease,
but was in his usual health, until but
short time before he died. Only last
week. he was In this borough, In compa
ny with his brother Commissioners, at
tending to the duties of his official posi
tion, and they but little thought, when
they parted with him, that it was the
last time they'were to sit with him, in
council: Mr. Keller was the senior
Commissioner, and his advice and ex
perience will be greatly missed by his
associates In office, who greatly respect
ed him, and . with whom he was on in
timate terms of friendship.
To the Democracy of the County the
death of Mr: Keller is a very afflictive
dispensation: Hie ana j ons of our most
active and influential men, and will be
mourned hy his , political associates with
a deep and sincere grief.
As a triend'and neighbor, Mr. Kel
ler was much esteemed, sad the people,
among whom be lived so long will
greatly miss his kindly tam and the aid
of his helping hand, while bit own im
mediate family have lost a, kind and af

THE MATCH STICK MA.NtlfrAcTonT
at Moshannon, the burning of which
WO recorded lag week, was totally de
stroyed, not a vestige of it being loft or
an outlet , of property saved. It had ,
heen , purchneed by a Mr. Botts Just
shoot time before, and his loss is about
$15,600, with $5,000 insurance, as we
statod last week. Mr. Finley, the owner
cf the grist mill that was also burned,
has lost about $BOOO. The original
cost of tho machinery of the match stick
manufactory, was $25,000, and It• gays
employment to forty or fifty hands. It
had about $6OO worth of sticks ready to
ship,and about $3OOO worth of blocks,
all of which was burned. About one,

are used daily in the 'United Blates,or

That's pretty good, but not so much,
after all, considering it took the whole

in Spring Creek. Mr. Henry Rtible
went out the other morning and came in

did .the same thing, catching e 2. If

fisherman that ho. is—can catch trout,
and comes to often with as many as four

positive evidence that they are plenty,
for trout that will jump at or toward
such an ugly c\tse as the National man,
could be gathered up by the hundred by
such good-looking chaps as Traugh, of
the Standard, or ourselves.
