shel, of Benner
Two religious events occurred in
this vicinity last Sunday. The corner
stone of the Evangelical church on
Willow Bank street, of this place, was
laid, Rev.! Veugh, of Centre Hall, offi-
ciating, and the DM. E. church at Le-
mont was d- dicated, Rev. B. B. Hamlin,
ot Tyrone, preachirg the dedicating ser-
mon.
— Seely Hopkins is greatly disposed
to be sensaticnal. His bravado has
cropped out again in his expression of a
desire to be allowed to build the gal-
lows on which he will be hung, he
being a “carpenter by trade. He, how-
ever, professes to be penitent, listens to
his spiritual adviser, and does a good
deal of Bible reading.
——Last Friday evening some 30
members of Bellefonte Council O. TU.
A. M. met and the council was reor-
ganized by ex-State Counselor, John
Brunner, of Easton. There were about
25 visiting members from Milesburg
and Snow Shoe, and after the business
of the evening was finished refreshments
were served at Ceader’s
Last Friday morning while 'W.
G. Kesling , a brakeman on the railroad
yard at Snow Shoe, was engaged in his
duties, he was thrown from the train,
and one car passing over him, his left
arm was broken and also his left leg in
two places. Although theseinjuries were
serious it is a fortunate circumstance
that the accident did not prove fatal.
Mr. D J. Gutes of Half Moon, one
of the most reliable Democrats in the
county, accompanied by his bright
young son, spent Friday last in Belle-
fonte. Mr. Gates had with him a cu-
riosity in the shape of an ear of corn, the
grains of which grew in rows around the
cob, in place of lengthwise, the on-
ly one of the kind we have cver seen.
Mr. Richard MeClain, of this
place, recently Register of Centre Coun-
ty,; met with a great affliction last
Sunday in the death of his son Richard,
a bright boy of about 15 years of age,
whose health had been impaired for
some time. He and his family have the
sympathy of many friends in their be-
reavement. Funeral services were held
in the Catholic church on Wednesday
morning.
x The Altoona Times says that Mr.
John M. Ward and wite spent an even-
ing recently in that city at the residence
of his brother, Charles L. Ward, who
has been confined to his hed for the past
three weeks with pneumonia, but who
is rapidly convalescing. “Monte’’ is the
celebrated short stop of the New
York Ball Base Club, and the man
who is making a success of the Base

——A Farmers’ Institute is to be
held under the auspices of the State
Board of Agriculture, at State College,
on January 9th and 10th. Ttis the in-
tention of the Committee on Entertain-
ment to arrange for an extra train from
Bellefonte if there is prospect of suffi-
cient attendance to warrant it. This
Committee requests that all who wor: 1d
patronize such a train communicate at
once with the Secretary of the Ccm-
mittee, Henry Hartswick, State Col-
lege.
——Hymen did a very interesting job
at Lemont, Thursday afternoon of last
week, in the marriage of Miss Hattie,
danghter of Mr. John Foster, of State
College, to Lieutenant Leyden, of Beech
Creek, the ceremony being performed
in the Presbyterian church of that place
by Rev. Milton K. Foster,of Mifllinburg.
There were no bridesmaids or grooms-
men. The ushers were Messrs, James
Hamill, Had Leyden, James R. Thomp-
son and W. L. Foster. The ceremony
was witnessed by about three hundred
persons. The wedding jaunt will in-
ciude New York and other eastern cities.
ANOTHER DEED OF VIOLENCE.—
Last Saturday night a revolting homi-
cid» was committed on the opposite side
of the river from Lock Haven, the par-
ticulars of which are givenin the papers
of that place. Karly Sunday morning
the body of a man was found lying in
the public road in Lockport, who had
been murdered and lay where he had
been struck down. The body was dis-
covered about daylight by a man named
Linsey who was on his way across the
bridge to his home. He having called
the attention of neighbors to it, an ex-
amination showed that although life
was extinct the body was not yet cold.
The murdered man was recognized as
being William Lovett, a resident of
Gallagher township. Near the body,
upon the ground, was a pool .of blood,
and gaping wounls on the head gave
evidence of the manner in which the
killing had been done. Word was sent
to Sheriff’ Leahy at once, who upon ar-
riviLg upon the scene proceeded to ob-
tain such facts as he could gather con-
cerning the tragedy. The victim; Lov-
ett, was a man of large stature and great |
physical strength. He was six fect
high, well proportioned and accustomed
to hard labor. He was comfortably
dressed in woodsman’s clothing and
wore a pair of lumberman’s rubber
shoes. Deep gashes in his scalp showed
that he had received heavy blows upon
the head. A “black jack’ lay near his
body on the ground. Ina lumber wa-
gon that stood about seventy feel away
was found a heavy stick which had been |
used as a “brake stick” for the wagon.
There was blood and hair upon the stick, !
indicating that it had been used efice- |
tively upon the murdered man’s head. |
No marks of violence could be seen up-
on the body, but the gaping wounds on |
the head were a ghastly sight for the
carious ones who gathered and locked |
upon the dead body. i
Further investigation developed the |
fact that a drunken fight had taken |
place at the end of the bridge on Satur-
duy night in which the brothers Wil-
liam and John Lovettand two brothers
named Brown, from Dunsbury, were the
chief actors. The Browns waited for
the Lovetts to come along and when
they met a fight ensued from some tri-
vial dispute in which one of the Lovetts
was badly hammered and the other was
killed. Charles Brown admits to having
struck the Lovett that was killed, but
claims to have done it in self defense.
A man named Sweezy was struck but
made his escape. John Lovett was
kndcked down and did not recover his
senses until Sunday morning. Both of
the Browns have been arrested, and also
two brothers named Moore, who will
be held as witnesses.
A ForGER ARRESTED.—The Tyrone
Herald of Saturday gives an account of
a successful forgery and the subsequent
capiure of the offender, the particulars of
which involved a resident of Centre
county. Itsays:
On the 26th of November a man nam-
ed William Henry Thomas purchased
a small bill of goods at M. Cryder &
Co.’s store and tendered in payment a
check ofthe Tyrone Iron Co. for fifty~
four dollars. ?
The check was banked by Mr. Cryder
and nothing more thought of the mat-
ter until almost two weeks afterward
when Mr. Neal of the Iron company
was balancing his books and discovered
that some thing was rotten in Denmark.
On following the matter up it was
found that the check given to Thomas
in payment for work was for four dol-
lars and after passing out of their hands
had been raised to fifiy-four.
Mr. Cryder and the Bank were noti-
fied and at once quiet steps were taken
to bring the offender to justice. The
matter was placed in the hands of Con-
stable Snyder and that officer a couple
of days ago went down into the neigh-
borhood of Thomas's home in Centre
county on the hunt of his man.
Yesterday he located him at the house
of a brother in Boalsburg, but as the
officer went in the front door the cul-
prit went out of a back window. Mr
Snyder, however, was not to be fooled
in this way and hung around until elev-
en o'clock last night and demanded ad-
mission. This was reluctantly given
and the officer entered with his eyes
open and fully prepared to meet his man
who has the reputation of being a des-
perate character. In a bedroom and in
the act of getting off a bed was the man
he wanted and he was immediately
grabbed and the bracelets placed upou
his wrists.
At first the man was for fight and
doubtless if he could have gotten at the
Winchester rifle which contained four-
teen balls and was under his bed, there
would have been trouble, but as it was
he finally agreed to come along peace-
ably, and to-day he was brought to town
and taken to jail at Hollidaysburg on
Way Passenger this afternoor.
——Mr. James Gentzel, a prominent
resident of George's Valley, recently de-
ceased, was buried on Sunday.
—-There will be service in the |
United Brethren church in this place |
next Sunday at 10} a.m. ; also in the

Tae CENTRE CouNTY TEACHERS’
Instrrure.—The County Institute
commenced in the Court House shortly
after 10 o’ciock on Monday morning,
Superintendent Wolf calling it to order,
which was followed by a prayer from
Bev. W.
Christian chareh of Bellefonte.
time of the opening of the afternoon
resession no less than 214 teachers had
psented themselves for enrolment,
Prof. D. M. Lieb introduced a mem-
relating to the death
Superintendent,
orial minute
of State
"PE Higbee, which was followed by
remarks eulogistic of the deceased edu-
cator from Prof. D. M. Lieb, D. F.|
Fortney, KEsq., Miss Laura Weidle,
Prof. James C. Noll, Prof. E. A. Malt-
by, Dr. G M. Philips, Supt. D. M. Wolf
and Pref. Walter S. Bonbright, The
Institute adjourned for the day out of re
spect forthe deceased.
The evening lecture was delivered in
the Court House by Dr. G. M. Philips
in which he gave an interesting descrip-
tion of a tripreross the continent to Cali- |
fornia.
Tuesday's session was
scripture reading and a prayer by Rev. !
, E. E. Hoshour, pastor of the Belleforte
Lutheran congregation.
Prof. J. B. Richey, Superintendent
of the Philipsburg schools, took up the
subject of geography and spoke of the
principles of teaching that interesting
and useful branch of education. In il-
lustrating his subject he displayed some
mapsdrawn by Master James Alport, |
son of Dr. Alport, aged about 16, a
scholar in Miss Jennie Morrison's school
in Philipsburg, which were marvels ot
exact and beautiful workmanship.
Prof. E. A. Maltby spoke on the
“Educational Value of Studies,” show- | :
ing the difference in their results which |
may be disciplinary, msthetic or practi-
cal. The ultimate object of all studies
should be practical effect.
The subject of the address of Dr. G.
G. Groff, of Bucknell University was
the “Teaching of Physiology.” He
pointed out defects in the methods of |
imparting instruction in this branch,
and said that the average text book on
physiology and hygiene are objection-
able and not best suited for small child-
ren He showed what would be a bet-
ter method. :
Prot. Lyte gave a pleasant and in-
structive talk on the subject of “Mem-
ory?
Dr. G. L. Philips spoke on the sub-
ject of ‘Longitude and Time’ and went
onto tell how the time which our
watches show, is obtained. Time is ob-
tained by observation of the stars. He
spoke ct the different times of different
railroads and how four years ago a stand-
ard time was adopted by the principal
railroads and how it was arranged. A
person traveling around the world gains
one day by going Hast or loses a day by
going West.
In resuming thesubject of “Teaching”
Dr. Groff said: Text books should not
be in the hands of the smaller pupils.
The teacher should be well prepared to
teach. Itisa good plan for the teacher
to read and comment on the lesson for
the day. The pupil ina more advanced
class can read a section of a lesson and
the teacher commenting to bring out
the sense of the lesson, The common
recitation method is much used and the
teacher should go over the lesson before
being studied by the pupil, to correct
any erroneous ideas. Tne outline meth-
od is a good help to fix the ideas in the
mind of the pupil. The topical method
breaks up the plan of studying and re-
citing by rote. Different text books
should be used in the higher classes.
Have ‘written recitations occasionally ;
vary them with the oral work. Quiz-
zing is another good method of having
the pupils tell what they know. With
the highest grade students teachers can
give instruction by means of systematic
leztures.
In Tuesday afternoon’s session Dr.
Groff spoke on “Cells” in reference to
anatomy. Prof. J. B. Richey. of Phil-
ipsburg, continued his remarks on geog-
raphy taking the subdivision of ‘map
drawing’’ as the subject of his talk, us-
ing in illustration the beautiful maps
drawn by James Alport, a Philips-
burg scholar. He was followed by Dr.
Lyte whose subject was “School Gov-
ernment.” He laid down gs an ax-
iom that the ultimate idea of school
government should be to. make the pu-
pil self-governing. He said that good
teachers are usually good disciplinarians.
Right and duty go together, for where
a right exists a corresponding duty also
exists. Pupils owe certain duties to
themselves and have no right to destroy |
their own prosperity. Tt is the duty of |
a pupil to obey the teacher; to be kind
to each other; forthe strong to defend |
observe the!
the weak—to defend and
regulations, the school, and many other
duties may come up. Nothing ean be
done without system and the regulations
should be few.
Dr. Maltby then spoke of the “REdu-
cational Value of toe Teacher,” his re-'
marks being at the same time instructive
and amusing. Dr. Philips told “How
the World is Governed,” using Russia
us an illustration of an obsolute mon-
I archy, England as a limited monarchy
and the United States as an example of
L. Heyden, pastor of the

a republican form of government. Dr.
Lyte then treated the subject of moral
training, insisting that a perfect educa-
| tion demands that we be educated phys-
| ically and morally as well as intellec-
tually.

The evening entertainment consisted
of an elocution performance by Mr.
{ Charles F. Underhill.
Prof. Maltby commenced Wednesday
morning’s exercises on the subject of
“Teaching Primary Arithmetic.” He
held that children should not be afflict-
ed with long and unwieldy rules in

was a resumption of Prof. Richey’s in-
I teresting and instructive talk on Geog-
‘raphy. This young educator shows de.
| cided ability. He appears to strongly
favor comparative geography, which is
{indeed the only way to obtain corr ct
| geographical ideas. The Bellefonte or-
chestra there furnished a pleasant musi-
| cal intertude. Prof. Irish continued his
!' marks on Grammar, giving some very
“structive analyzation. Miss Weidle’s
fi vol then sang a pretty medley, after
aich Miss Lulu Hoy, the little daugh-
iv of Dr. H. XK. Hoy, recited “The Lit-
| t © Quaker Sinner,” in excellent style.
| Prof. Maltby then gave his thoughts on
“Thought Expression,” which evolved
| some very bright ideas. Prof. Noetling,
in speaking of the coudition in which
| School rooms should be kept, said thata
neat and tidy room does much to ad-
vance the success of the teachers.
‘Wednesday evening's entertainment
consisted in a Shakespearean lecture by
Prof. Irish, and a number of recitations
from Shakespeare's plays by Prof. Bon-
bright.
Rev. W. A. Houck, of the Methodist
church, opened Thursday morning’s ex—
ercises with prayer. Superintendent
‘Wolf announced the following commit-
tee:
On resolutions—D. M. Lieb, G. W.
Rumberger, W. P. Hestermar,
Carrie Vaughn, Miss Rosa Harter.
On nominations—J. C. Noll, T. DM.
Barnhart, W. E. Keene, Miss Nannie
Thomas, Miss Mary A. Bollinger.
Both of these committees were request-
ed to meet at the Friday morning ses-
sion.
Prof. Richey then gave illustrations
in comparative geography, W. W.
Hiss, one of the teachers, gavea recitation
called “Brother Watkins ;”’ Miss
Laura Wright rendered a piano solo,
and Prof. Noetling continued his discus-
ion on Mathematics, and then come
music was charmingly thrown in by
Mrs. Bonbright.
Prof. Buckhout, of the State College,
Jtook up the subject of Botany. He
spoke of tne many objects there are in
the plant world to interest and instruct-
in Botany should begin with these
objects rather than from text books.
We went to press at this point of the
proceedings jof the Insttitute and con-
sequently have been forced to omit the
closing exercises, and also the doings

Died.
CANDY.—On the 17th of November, at Island,
Clinton county, Miss Kate M., daughter of
Seloman Candy, of Howard, in her 40th year.
She was a kind and loving sister, an affection-
ate daughter; she was loved and admired by
her friends, as she was always ready to accom-
modate to the utmost of her ability those in
ned or desiring a favor at her hand. In con-
nection with her funeral, which took place at
Howard on the 19th, appropriate religious ser-
vices were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Shoe-
maker.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled ;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And though the body slumbeis here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
