that Mr. Cooper's vehicle was overturn-
ed and wrecked and his wife was pitched
10 the ground with such force as to ren-
der her unconcious and injure her badly
about the head and face. She was car-
ried into the residence of Mr. C. Betch-
elor, and about 11 o'clock was taken to
her home. Mr. Cooper and Mrs. Bow-
man escaped without injury. The crash
frightened Mr. Weaver's horses and

McKnight, of this place, a lady well

pose. By mistake she got on the Le-
mont train and did not discover it until
after she had gone some distance from
the station, whereupon she went to the
platform of the car in which she was
and jumped off while it was in motion.
She alighted upon her feet and reeled
around three times before she fell, In
falling she broke the joint of her elbow
and sustained other bruises. This, how-
ever, did not prevent her from going to
her destination on the Buffalo Run train,
from which she returned at 9 o'clock A.
M. Upon getting home she began to
realize the extent of her injuries from
which she is now suffering quite severely.
—
DEATH oF AN OLD AND PROMINENT
CitizeN—In the death of Wm. F.
Thompson, which occurred at his home
in Benner township, Friday, August 2,
the community loses a valuable mem-
ber, and a large circle of friends a bind-
ing link. His death will be mourned
by all who knew him, for to them he
was united by the warmest ties of friend-
ship. Born near Franklinville, Hunt-
ington Co., March 6, 1808, his early life
was spent in educating himself, govern-
ed always by the limited opportunities
with which a youth of that early period
was favored. One of his first occupa-
tions was that of teamster, and some of
hisexperience while driving through the
then unsettled portions of his native
county were very interesting to hear.
He was married to Rebecca Gardner,
Dec. 22,1836. The first portion of his
married life he spent in Huntingdon Co.,
moving to Centre Co. in 1850. His
first three years in Centre Co. were
spent upon a farm on the Branch.
‘While here he was called upon to
mourn the loss of the friend of his life,
who died Jan. 10,1853, leaving a family
deprived of that great former of charac-
t er—a mother’s influence. He moved to
Centre Furnace in 1854, where for
three years he acted in the capacity of
manager. The needed link in the fam-
ily circle was added in the latter part of
t he year 1854, by his/marriage to Sarah
Bridge. He moved to Buffalo Run in
1857 where he lived for 22 years upon
a farm which he had purchased fora
home. Reaching the age when the pres-
sure of labor fell too heavily upon his
shoulders, he removed te Benner town-
ship, where he spent the remainder of
his days. He was esteemed by the
people, as is shown by his holding va-
rious local offices, aspiring to nothing
political. Since the founding of the
Buffalo Run Presbyterian Church, in
the erection of which he manifested so
great an interest, he has been one of its
elders. His character was such that to
know him was to respect him. His
manner was jovial and winning, but
always maintained that poise which
marks a Christian gentleman. As a
conversationalist he had few equals; up-
on ali topies he was well versed, and his
views upon them were very liberal.
The crowning feature of his whole na-
ture was his high Christian character,
and the comfort he personally manifest-
ed in his last hour was the blessed assur-
ance of his having entered “into the
joy of the Lord.” The funeral services
took place fromthe Presbyterian church
on Sunday afternoon and were conduct-
ed by Dr. Hamill of Oak Hall.
ANoTHER OLD CITIZEN GONE.—
Jacob Peters, an old resident of Union-
ville, this county, died in that place on
the 29th ult. He was born in Lancaster
county, January 1st, 1810, being one of
a family of 15 children whose parents
were Lawrence and Elsy Peters. The
family moved to Centre county in 1812,
and since that time the deceased lived in
Union township and Unionville. He
inherited a strong constitution from his
mother, who died at the age of 85 yrs.
He leaves a widow (his second wife) and
8 daughters, Mrs. Samuel Brugger and
Mrs. D. Hall of Unionville, and Mrs.
Shuman of Missouri. His two sons,
John and Joseph, died for their country
in the war of the Rebellion, and for
them the Peters Bros. Post, G. A. R.,
of Unionville was named. About 20
years ago, Mr. Peters joined the Society
of Friends and was an honorable and
upright member to the day of his death.
In his death a useful citizen is removed,
and it is enough to say he will be missed.
Rev. M. B. Laning, of the Baptist
church, was requested to hold a short
service, and members of the Society of
Friends took part, after which the re-
mains were laid in the cemetery at Dix
Run.
A Horse RESCUED FROM A WELL.
—The Jersey Shore Herald: says that
a large black mare belonging to Mr.
Kelly Stout, of Piatt township, fell into
a well 30 feet deep near his residence.
The animal went down stern foremost,
and strange to say, received but slight
injuries. The poor brute was in about 6
feet of water which covered all but part
of her neck and head. Men went down
the well and placed ropessecurely about
her body, and with the kindly assis-
tance of neighbors, a block and tackle
was brought into use and the unfortu-
nate beast was released from her peril-
ous position. It took the combined
strength of three powerful horses and
several men to draw her up out of the
well and place her again on dry land.
Save a few bruises the animal was unin-
jured, a very remarkable thing, indeed.
A STERN AND CRUEL PARENT.—
Haneyville, Lycoming county, says the
Williamsport Sun and Banner, contain-
ed among its population two young peo-
ple who believed that life was not worth
living if they ceculd not live together.
«They agreed to get married. Invitations
were sent out and on Sunday a large
crowd was present to witness the cere-
mony. The bride bedecked in dazzling
array, and the would-be happy groom,
were on hand, but the stern parent was
also in the immediate vicinity. The
young lady was taken from the side of
her lover and locked in her room.
——The Undine Fire Company of
this place have received and accepted an
invitation to visit Spring Mills on Sat- |
urday the 17th as the guest of the Chal-
lenge Cornet Band. The latter organi-
zation is giving a picnic on that occasion.
A Bap Woops. —Officers Gordon of
Philipsburg and Gearhart of Chester
Hill swooped down on the penny-anty
gamblers in the crab apple woods on
Monday, and bagged a wad of them.
They will be held for trial at Clearfield
court. There is no greater sink of in-
iquity on top of earth than that bunch
of crab apple woods along the Moshan-
non. The authorities of Chester Hill
ought to have the trees chopped away.
Philipsburg Ledger.
——Mr. LL. B. McEntire, of Fillmore,
brought to our office the other day a pea
stalk raised on his premises which meas-
ured 19} feet in length, the longest that
ever came under our observation. ' It
bore a purple ped and he said the kind,
which was sent him from the agricul-
tural department at Washington,is very
prolific in bearing an excellent quality
of peas. But we should think that the
height of the stalks would render them
rather unhandy to supply with sticks.
——During the heavy thunder storm
that prevailed here last Tuesday night,
about 11 o’clock, our citizens were start-
led by the alarm of fire,which was caus-
ed by the discovery that the cupola on
the residence of Mr. John Ardell had
been ignited by lightning. It was dis-
covered by Miss Rose Flynn, a female
domestic of Mr. Ardell, who with great
presence of mind ran to the stable, got
out the garden hose, attached it, and
had a stream on the flames before the
alarm became general. Her prompt
action, in which she was assisted by Mr,
Robert Miller,prevented what otherwise
might have been a serious conflagration
——John I. Rankin, of this place has
received the appointment of deputy
sixth auditor of the treasury at Wash-
ington which has been pending for some
months. It is said to be a $2200 office.
We congratulate Mr. Rankin upon his
appointment to this important post and
hope he will find the place congenial,
pleasant and profitable. The department
of which Mr. R. is Deputy is the larg-
est accounting bureau of the government.
It passes on the accounts of over 5000
postmasters, requiring over 400 clerks,
ten chiefs of division, a disbursing clerk
and chief clerk. In his appointment the
republican party has selected an official
who will perform the duties of the posi-
tion in the fullest accord with republi-
can ideas of the manner in which public
duties should be performed.
———The following bids for the con-
struction of the Moshannon and Kar-
thaus bridges, which will be constructed
by Centre and Clearfield counties con-
jointly, have been handed in to the Com-
missioners of the two counties. It will
be observed that the bids are nearly uni-
form in their amounts: King Bridge
Company, Cleveland, Ohio, $15,000;
Wrought Iron Bridge Co., Canton,Ohio,
$14,982 : Massilon Bridge Co., Massilon,
Ohio, $14,800; Smith Bridge Co., To-
ledo, Ohio, $14,000 on one planand $14,-
300 on another; Variety Iron Mills,
Cleveland,O., $15,110; Pittsburg Bridge
Co., Pittsburg, Pa., $14,700. Columbia
Bridge Co., Dayton, O., $15,000 on one
plan, $14,900 on another; Berlin Bridge
Co., Berlin, Conn, $15,000; Groton
Bridge Co., Groton, N. Y., $15,210;
Champion Bridge Co., Wilmington, O.,
$15,110; P. E. Lane,Chicago, Ill., $15,-
630; Mount Vernon Bridge Co., Mount
Vernon, O., $14,950; Penn Bridge Co.,
Beaver Falls, Pa., $15,412; New Jersey
Steel and Iron Works, New Jersey,
$15,000.
It is reported that prospecting for
iron ore has been in progress in the
mountains south of Lock Haven with
satisfactory results. The Express says
that the prospecting has Leen done by a
practical man who thoroughly under-
stands the business of mining ores and
who seems to know just where to begin
work. A four foot vein of hematite ore
was opened, and also a vein of bog ore.
The thickness of the latter vein has not
yet been determined. The ore in both
beds is thought to be of a rich quality,
but its value can only be determined by
analysis. The gentleman who opened
the veins, however, thought from the
appearance of the ore that it was fully
as rich as the average ores of that kind
found in the neighborhood of Bellefonte,
One of the veins opened is quite near to
the ruilroad and the prospector thinks
there is an almost inexhaustible bed of
the ore. Turther explorations will be
made as the openings made so far have
not been on lands where the ore was
heretofore supposed to exist. The gen-
tlemen who are interested in this devel-
opment of the mineral resources of Clin-
ton County are greatly elated with their
success, and should the tests which are to
be made at once of specimens of the ore
prove it to be of a satisfactory quality
important movements will be made soon
toward the erection of a furnace. That |
there is plenty of ore within a short dis-
tance from the city is now an undisputed
fact and the richt men are at the head
of the enterprise to make it “boom.”

ComPLAINING MirpLy.—The Wil-
liamsport Gazette and Bulletin thus
mildly complains about the action of
Gov. Beaver:
“It 1s understood that Governor Bea-
ver declines to apply more than fifteen
thousand dollars toward paying the bills
contracted for cleaning up this city after
the flood. The Governor admits that
the loss to Williamsport has been very
severe,but he claims that he had not ex-
pected to pay the whole amount expend-
ed in cleaning up. The cleaning was
done upon the strength of a dispatch
from the Governor which authorized
the employment of the idle men, and he
would see that the money would be
raised to pay them reasonable wages. It
is probable, however, that the Governor
did not anticipate such a big contract as
the cleaning of this city proved. The
Mayor and others here acted in good
faith and used the relief money contri-
buted by the citizens of our own city and
elsewhere relying upon getting it from
the Governor under the telegraphic au-
thority he had given for the expenditure
made. As it is, about ten thousand dol-
lars has been paid out in excess of the
sum to be received from the Governor.
This, of course, reduces the relief fund
just to that extent and will be a disap-
pointment to all concerned.
CANCER FROM THE BITE oF A CHILD.
—We learn from the Lock Haven Dem-
ocrat that Mrs. Toner, mother of Mrs.
William Bickford, of that place, is suf-
fering from the effects of what the doc-
tors call a cancer caused by the bite of
a child. It was before the flood that
the little one swallowed or tried to swal-
low a piece of meat and choked on it.
The grandmother ran her finger down
its throat to get the morsel out, when
it apparently passed down into the
stomach. Still the child gagged and
Toner again in-
serted her finger and this time the child
closed its teeth on itabout thefirst joint,
making a small wound to which she
paid no attention. But by and by the
wound festered, then it bealed and she
had to have itlanced. Then the physi-
cian amputated the finger, pronouncing
it cancer, but even that didn't stop its
ravages. The poison having gotten into
the blood the disease is now breaking.
out on her nose and has become a serious
affair. The physician's idea now is to
draw it to some other portion of the body
where it can be more easily treated and
dressed than on the nose. What the re-
sult will be remains to be seen.

Mrs. Jennie C. Leather of Center Co., Pa., who

was cured. She stated to a Press reporter the
following account of the case:—
“I was taken to the hospital in Philadelphia
and put under the treatment of Dr. Pancoast,
one of the most celebrated physicians and sur-
| geons in the world. He gave my case his per-

to stir out of bed and they sent me home to die.
I heard of Dr. Bearcheck through a friend and
for two months used his remedies till I got so I
could travel.Then I came here last Thursday,
he removed a cancerous growth from the

brother has been stricken down in his useful-
ness, and whereas according tothe eternal
works of nature we trust all sooner or later will

WaereAs in accordance with an inevita
ble law of nature our brother Dr.C. P. W.
Fisher, a member of Victor Grange, No. 159,
P. of H. died July 31, 1889, therefore be it
