During County Institute week
385 persons registered as visitors at the
county jail. Morbid curiosity is draw-
ing a great many people to that insti-
tution.
There are but seven prisoners
in our county jail, but the gravity of the
offences with which two of them are
charged amply makes up for the small-
ness of the number incarcerated.
———The entertainment in Boggs’
Hall, Milesburg, on Saturday evening,
4th inst., will be for the purpose of
raising funds to repaper the M. E.
church of that place. Dialogues, char-

of the section in which he lived. He

The Centre County Commission-
ers will borrow the Lycoming county
gallows on which to hang Seely W.
Hopkins, the double murderer. It is
probable that the gallows will remain
in Bellefonte until the murderer of Miss

his erime. Governor Beaver is expected
to fix the day of Hopkins’ death soon.

——The barn of Samuel Mitchell

destroyed by fire late on Christmas eve.

and contained 1,000§bushels of wheat, a
large quantity of barley and oats, besides

This bank will be connected with the
Lemont road by a switch.
——The annual ball of the Logan Hose
company came off in the rink, a la
masque, on Tuesday night and Wednes-
day morning in excellent style. It
was a jovial assemblage of fair women
and brave men, who gayly danced the
old year out and the new year in. Joy
was unconfined as they chased the glow-
ing hours with flying feet. In such a
merry chase the Bellefonte girls and
boys are hard to beat.

the eleven counties which will form

Last Tuesday morning judgments to
the amount of $80,118.02 were entered

A Curistmas Comepy.—Mr. B. F.
Bright, of Sunbury, made his ap-
pearance in Bellefonte as usual on Christ-
nieces, children of bis sister, Mrs. W. H.
Chrissman. Regularly at the festive
holidays and at Easter, and often be-
tween those interesting periods of the
year, Frank wends his way to this place
to perform the duties of an indulgent
uncie. Of course last Christmas there
was a big time in the Chrissman house-
hold. There were presents in number
sufficient to fill a large catalogue, and
the nicest kind of a tree was set up to
appropriately signalize the merry oc-
casion. A turkey of large dimensions
had to give up its life to contribute to
the festivities, and that turkey involved
an occurrence that rarely happens in
any household either at Christmas tide
or at any other time. After the turkey
had been carved and the plates were be-
ing helped, the table broke down, col-
lapsing just at the point where the fowl,
done to a turn, was located. Frank
grabbed one end of the fractured table
and Chrissman the other, and between

Firry Years Ownp.—The Clinton
Democrat, of Lock Haven, the Demc-
a hundred years old on New Year's day,
and its deily issue of Wednesday gave
an interesting history of its long and
checkered career. It is almost as old as
the county and antedates Lock Haven
as an incorporated borough by more
than three months. The first issue of
the Democrat made ils appearance on
the 1st of January, 1340, Wilbur &
tors. It changed hands frequently and
suffered the vicissitudes incident to the
career of struggling country newspapeis.
It was scarcely more than three yeas
old vefore it was sold at constable sale.
That eccentric newspaperman, Col.
John R. Eck, became its editor in 1843.
In 1844 H. IL. Dieffenbach came up
from Northumberland county and took
charge of it. His lease expiring in
1850 George A. Crawford became the

Orth and went through a numbsr of
changes of ownership and editorial
management until purchased by Clark
