J. M. King was made the victim of a

ing, but the absence of snow greatly in-
terferes with this winter’s logging.

January 81st., to organize for next fall’s
campaign.
——The fire brickeclay produced at the
bank opened up at Port Matilda, this
county, is pronounced to be of the very
best quality, and it will be of great val-
ue if the quantity is as great as the qual-
ity is excellent.
——The other day a hog belonging
to the proprietor of the Loyd House, at
Philipsburg, died of the grip, and it
wasn’t the grip of the butcher, either.
The disease resulted in the clear loss of
about 200 pounds of pork.
The State Flood Commission has
appropriated $40,000 for a hospital at
Johnstown and $5,000 for hospital pur-
poses at Williamsport. The Lock Hav-
en papers are kicking because their
town was not included in this relief ar-
rangement.
Notwithstanding the report that
Mrs. Johnson, of Hublersburg, had
died and confessed on her death-bed
that her husband was implicated in the
Culvey murders, the Lock Haven Ee.
press has discovered that she is still liv-
ing happily with her husband. She
didn’t even have the grip.
——The citizens of Decatur township,
Clearfield county, seam bent on erecting
a Poor House of their own, and have pe-
titioned the court for authority to pro-

be erected on ground owned by Robert
Lloyd, of Philipsburg, and will be Io-
cated only a short distance west of the
latter place.
——Griffith Garrett, of Rebersburg,
recently met with a serious accident
while harnessing his horse. The ani-

lower jaw. He was found unconscious
in his stable where the accident oceur-
red, having lain in that condition for
twelve hours,
———Lemuel Watson, an old citizen
of Lamar, d'ed last week at the age of
82. Theol gentleman died where he

walked the entire distance both ways.
He belonged to the Presbyterian church
and always voted the Democratic ticket.
——As Mr. G. H. Bartly, of Hublers-
burg, and Franklin Hardyshell, of Clin-
ton county, were pealing logs near the
‘Wister mines on the 13th inst., a log
started down the hill, knocking Bartly
over and breaking Hardyshell’s leg
above the knee. It was a very close
call for both of them, aud the wonder is
that either of them escaped being mach-
ed to a jelly. :
——Mr. Daniel Bittner, one of the
pioneer residents of Lock Haven, died
in that place on Thursday evening of
last wek, in his 83rd year. Born in
Dauphin county, he came to Lock Hav-

member of that church for sixty-two
years.
Tue CLEARY CasE.—The Renovo
Record learns that Messrss. McCormick
and Kress, counsel for the defense in
Charles Cleary murder trial, have
| advised that the case be carried up to
the Supreme Court of the State for the
, purpose of obtaining a new trial, and
: that preparations are now being made
for that purpose by the relatives and
friends of the prisoner. They entertain
s‘rong hopes of success.
THE NEXT INTELLECTUAL ENTER-
TAINMENT.—AII holders of course tick-
ets for the series of W. C. T. U. enter-
tainment’s as;well as the public in gener-
al, will take notice that the date of the
lecture of Russell H. Conwell, which
was to have been delivered in this place
on February 7th, has been changed to a
little more than & week earlier. It will
come on Wednesday, January 29, when
that Bellefonte favorite, Mr. Conwell,
will appear in the court house, this place.
The lecturer is so well known by many
persons in Bellefonte that any comment
might seem superfluous, but for those
that have not heard him we quote the
comment of the New York Evening
Post: “Unexcelled by any orator in
America, and perhaps the equal of any
in the world in his marvelous discrip-
tive powers.” Secure your tickets now,
as the court house as it will undoubtedly
be crowded to overflowing.
PROSPERITY OF THE STATE COLLEGE.
—The great forward stride made by the
Pennsylvania State College is spoken of
as follows by “Jason,” a noted Hunting-
don county correspondent :
“The success of the State College un-
der its new organization is one of the
most talked of and admired things ifl the
great state of William Penn.. With its
lectures, its books, its collections in
science and art, its corresponding and
honorary members in various parts of
the world, the frequent meeting of its
many departments, and the ambitious
spirit that characterizes it, this institu-
tion has stepped to the front rank among
the intellectual forces of the state. The
simple fact that its membership is now
increasing is sufficient to indicate its pop-
ularity. The men who are managing
the institution wish to make it the cen-
tre of the scholarship of the state, not to
be maintained out of the tax collections
of the state, but out of the pockets of
those who regard its benefits as worth
what they cost.”
GRASSHOPPERS IN JANUARY.—-A
country that can grow grasshoppers in
January is certainly not to be sneezed
at when you are hunting for a land with-
out winter. The Bermudas, West In-
dies, Mexico or Florida may outdo us
for a tropical sun’ssalubrious climate and
the safety of a shirt-sleeve regalia, but
they ain’t much ahead of us here in
Centre county, this season, in the want
of weather that makes a winter. As
evidence of this fact on Monday last Mr.
J.J. Tressler and Mr. Philip Moyer
brought to this office a half grown
grasshopper, caught by Mr. Close near
the Oak Hall railroad station on Satur-
day last. Tt wasas lively as‘ grasshop-
pers usually arein August, and although
minus one leg and a little the worse
otherwise for its enforced captivity, it
managed to hop out of reach in about
two minutes after it was liberated on
our desk. It wasnooldsoldier that had
hidden away last fall and came to life
through a stray ray of the sun, but had
every appearance of a hopper that had
been hatched and grown since last
year’s crop disappeared.
——The Lock Haven Ezpress of the
16th inst. gives the following account of
a forger’s operations in that place: Last
evening between 6 and 7 o’clock astranger
called at the clothing store of Raff Broth-
ers on Main street and asked to be shown
some clothing. Heselected a suit cost-
ing $17 and offered in payment C. S.
MecCormick’s check on the First Nation-
al Bank of the city for $24, payable to
Charles Miller. Under some pretext or
other the Messrs. Raff askel for a few
moment’s time before giving the man his
change, and Lewis Raff, one of the firm,
went to Mr. McCormick’s house with the
check where he learned that it was a
forgery. In the mean time the stranger
while waiting for his change said he
would step out and buy a pair of shoes.
Raff Brothers kept the clothing and the
mar. departed to buy his shoes, stating
that he would be back in a few moments.
After leaving the clothing store the
stranger went to the shoe store of J. H.
Bentley on Bellefonte avenue where he
purchased from Mr. Bentley’s little son,
who was attending the store, a pair of
No. 7 shoes, made by J. E. Dayton &
Co., Williamsport. + He offered in pay-
ment for the shoes a check similar to
one given Raff Brothers, but for only
$11. The boy gave him the shoes and
$8 in change, and the man hurriedly
left the store, leaving his old well worn
shoes and rubbers. The stranger was a
man of light build, wore a flannel shirt,
cutaway coat and slouch hat. He said
he lived at Pine.

three children, two boys and a girl, from
croup and diphtheria.
Guss, living near Martinsburg, Blair
county, met with a strange adventure a
few days ago. ‘Whileat work plowing
he noticed his lead horse suddenly sink-
ing into the earth, and before he could
rescue it the other horse began to disap-
pear in like manner, both animals go-
ing down about fifteen feet before they
found bottom.
——The parishioners and friends of
Rev. G. P. Sarvis, of the Methodist
church, generously and bountifully re-
membered their pastor last Friday even-
ing, gathering in large force at his resi-
dence at Pleasant Gap with a large vari-
ety of substantials. Among the special
donations was a new set of harness and
whip for the reverned, and a purse of
$12 for Mrs. Sarvis.
——New coal mines with a 81 to 4

ident, S. J. Herring ; Treasurer, Wm.

——The coal business over the Beech
Creek Railroad in the Clearfield district
was very fair during 1889, although not
so good as the previous year. The ship-
ments up to the close of the year show
that 1,556,930 tons of coal passed over
the road, though a falling off in total in
favor of last year of|136,565 tons. The to-
tal coal shipments over the Tyrone and
Clearfield Railroad, tor the year 1889,
ending December 31, were 3,149,919
tons, a decrease from same date of 1888
of 117,159 tons.
——Last Thursday conductor Allison
Houpt, on the Tyrone and Clearfield
railroad, got into an altercation between
Clearfield and Curwenville with a
young man who was a passenger on his
train, and was compelled to put him off,
whereupon the latter hurled a stone at
Mr. Houpt, striking him with so much
force on the head as to cut a deep gash
and almost knock him down, and then
continued to stone the train as it moved
off. Information was made by Mr.
Houpt and a warrant issued for the ar-
vest of the offender.
——At a meeting of the Centre Coun-
ty Bar Association, on Monday morn-

don, together with E. M. Blanchard,
W. F. Reber and L. A. Schaeffer, Esqs.
——Mr. Samuel Rine, manager of the
Bellefonte Water works, is a decided
fish fancier In addition to stocking the
big spring with some splendid specimen
of trout, he has branched out on gold
fish,having recently obtained some twen-
ty-five of that ornamental variety of the
finny race from the government fish
hatchery at Washington, which he has
placed in an aquarium in the engine
room of the water works. Itis his in-
tention to get a glass tank about ten feet
in length which he will have divided in-
to different apartments for different
kinds of fish. Some of his gold fish have
tails of very curious formation. They
are worth seeing.
——~George Evans, of Houtzdale, who
was sentenced by the Court in 1881 for
twenty years in the Penitentiary, for
killing Goodwin while both were serv-
ing a term in the county jail, in 1881,
has made application through his attor-
ney, W. L. Shaw, for a pardon, which
application was prisented to the
Pardon Board on January 21st. Hvan
was but a boy wheu the crime was com-
mitted and it is said that the eight years
of his confinement has done much to-
wards his intellectual and moral devel-
opment. Being illiterate when he enter-
ed the penitentiary, he can now write a
model letter and is a good scholar in all
common branches. He is in failing
health.
A Morrison Cove farmer named |
Tue BELLEFONTE HANGING.—Con-
‘cerning the approaching execution of
Hopkins, the Lock Haven Democrat
says: ‘Clinton county’s excellent sher- |
iff, Mr. Leahy, thinks that he will prob- :
(ably go to Belletonte onthe 20th of Feb-
ruary to see what sort ofa job Sheriif
Cooke of that county will make in the
suspefision of the murderer, Hopkins,
from the gallows. Sheriff Leahy’s man- |
agement ot the Shaffer tragedy here was |
first class in all respects, and if the Cen-
tre county sheriff can get along with the
disagreeable duty that will be his to per-
form on Feb. 20th, it will be a matter of |
satisfaction and congratulation to every-
body concerned. Sheriff Leahy hopes that |
| he may not be obliged to execute any-
| body else during his term of office, which |
[ has almost a year to run yet. The pre- |
, sence of our cool-headed sheriff in Belle- |
! fonte on that momentous occasion can-
. not fail to be of great encouragement to
| Sheriff Cooke, especially if th: latter is
in any degree nervous.”

thoroughly equipped gymnasium. The
procee 's for it are in the hands of the

thority in Philadelphia that B. S. Bent-

as if the decision of the court in Judge
Metzger’s favor was anticipated by Mr.
Bentley’s friends.

——DeVoe, of New Jersey, has some
what lost his reputation asa weather
prophet, but is trying to recover it with
this prediction : He says the present mild-
ness is caused by warm equatorial cur-
rents. Owing to the shifting of storm belts,
the rain in this section will be turned to
snow this month. ‘We shall have three
cold waves yet. The ice men can cut
by February 1. The last cold wave
will be here February 17th. There will
be a snow storm in March, followed by
an early spring. As the weather seems
to be determined to be contrary to what
DeVoe would have it, there would seem
to be a very slight chance for snow or
ice this season.
——At the musical convention that
will be held next week at Snydertown,
to be conducted by }Prof. Weaver, and
which will continue from Jan. 27th to
