ty gallows and will superintend its erec-
tion preparatory to the execution of See-
ly Hopkins.
John Coldren, recently deceased

tion.
— Quite a number of the farmers of
this county have taken advantage of
the mild winter by doing their plowing
and some of them are ready either to
sow oats or plant corn.
— Governor Curtin has recovered
from an attack of the grip at Philade!-
phia. He and ex-Governor ‘Warmouth,
of Louisiana, were down at the same
time at the Stratford hotel.
Mr. J. Claar, one of Rush town-
ship’s reliable citizens, performed the du-
ties of a grand juror last week. He will
read the WATCHMAN the coming year,
and have the satisfaction of knowing it
is paid for.
— Tt is reported that a vein of good
coal has been opened on the land of
Samuel Spangler, near Tylersville, Su-
gar Valley. Experts speak well of its
quality and a shaft has been sunk to the
depth of about fifty feet.
Mrs. Martha J. Scott, after suf-
fering from disease for the past seven-
teen years, recently died at Tyrone.
She was born at Rock Forge, this coun-
ty, in 1836,and was the daughter of Mrs-
A. Miller, formerly of Bellefonte.
——By the robbery of the store of
George Hess at Beech Creek Thursday
morning of last week the thieves secur-
ed $200 in money. The front door was
pried open and entrance into the safe
was effected by means of blasting it
with powder.
——J. A. Fiedler, Bellefonte’s new
post master, took charge of the office last
Saturday. Wilbur Harris, who, although
a Republican, was retained as assistant
under the Democratic administration of
Dr. Dobbins, resigned his position when
Fiedler took the office.
——R. M. Magee, Esq., who ran up
from Philadelphia to represent a client’s
interest in a case before court, this week,
accompanied by Col. Thomas Jefferson
Smull, one of Clinton county’s most rad-
ical Republicans, were welcome callers
at the WarcaMAN office on Monday
evening.
——1It’s a long face that icemen and
lumbermen 1n this section have been
wearing since Sunday last. The failure
ot the ground hog to see his shadow on
the 2ad has left the impression that
neither ice, snow nor win'er need be look-
ed for, and those whose business de-
pends so much on good artic weather
to make ice, and plenty of snow on
which to get their lumber out of the
woods, are not a little depressed.
——The annual conference of the
Methodists of Central Pennsylvania, to
which Centre county belongs, will as-
semble in Carlisle on the 19th of March.
This conference is said to be the largest
of the one hundred and twenty confer-
ences of the great Methodist church,
embracing in territory the larger por-
tion of Central and Southern Pennsyl-
vania, divided into five Presiding Elder
districts, Altoona, Harrisburg, Dan-
ville, Williamsport and Juniata. Its
ministry numbers two hundred and
thirty-one, among whom are some oft he
ablest and most efficient of the church.
On Satutday last Dr. Jas. H.
Dobbins, who has so acceptably filled
the position of Postmaster at this place
during the past four years, handed over
the keys to his successor, Mr. Fiedler,
who immediately assumed the duties of
the place. During the time that Dr.
Dobbins had charge of that office there
is none,we believe, but will say that
he was a conscientious, faithful and
obliging official, careful that the public
was accommodated, as well as that the
best interests of the government were
served. He retires, as do his clerks who
were intelligent, obliging and compe-
tent, with the respect of the entire com-
munity, and the best wishes of all who
had official business with them. We |
only hope that the new administration of
that office may be as satisfactory, as’
fair and as unpartisan as the outgoing.
RaiLroap ErecrioN.—Thoe annual
meeting of the Bellefonte & Eastern
Railway, the proposed line which is to
traverse through Sugar Valley, was
held in the office of the Wilkesbarre &
Western Ry, in the Girard building,
Philadelphia, on the 13th ult., The fol-
lowing officers were elected: TF. W.
Kennedy, president; directors, F. 'W.
Kennedy, W. C. DeArmond, L. New-
comb, J. H. Gendall, A. O. Granger, R-
C. Bellville, R. A. Stark, S. B. Morgan,
J. I. Higbee, all of Philadelphia, except
Messrs Higbee and Morgan, of Watson-
town, who will represent the local in:
terest.
A CorrECTION.—In the WATCHMAN
of last week a notice was given of the
proceedings of the County Grange meet-
ing at Oak Hall, the week previcus. In
referring to the report of the Patron’s
Fire Insurance Company, as made to
that meeting, and as copied from one of
our town exchanges, we stated that
the average cdst of insurance for the
past 13 years per $1,000, was $142. In
place of $142 it should have read $1.42
(one dollar and forty two cents.) A
very considerable difference, as will be
observed.
Tuk JornsTowN Froop.—Those of
our readers who want a truthful, well
written and reliable History of the
Johnstown Flood, have an opportunity
presented them, now that a full and
graphic account of it has been written
by Rev. D.J. Beal, a Presbyterian
minister of that place. Mr. Beal was
present, and wasone of theeye witnesses
of the terrible disaster. He writes-just
what happened,and describesit ina plain,
forcible manner. The book is very
neatly printed, contains numerous illus-
trations, and covers 418 pages. It is
sold only by subscription, and our old
friend, Edward Kreamer, Esq., former-
ly of Boalsburg, but a resident of Johns-
town at the time of the flood, will can-
vass Centre county for its sale: We
wish him the most unbounded success.
GRANGE MATTERS.—-Logan Grange
has purchased a lot near the Pleasant
Gap station on L. & L. R. R., upon
which they propose to build a hall im-
mediately, preparationshaving already
commenced for the work. Several more
Granges are talking of building soon.
The Grange is booming in Centre coun-
ty. Progress Grange at Centre Hall is
receiving applications for membership
at every meeting. It has on its roll of
membership the best families of the
{ township. The first week in February
has been appointed by the Master of the
State and National Grange as Grange
week. Forty Granges were organized
in Pennsylvania during last year. This
already promises to surpass last year, as
nearly half that number have already
been organized. Last week alone thera
were four new Granges organized in
Pennsylvania; one in Nelson town-
ship, Tioga county, one in Cranberry
township, Butler county, one in Ros-
traver township, Westmoreland, county,
and one in Hanick township, Susque-
hanna county.
THE GRANGERS AND THE PROPOSED
NEw Roap Laws. —Last week we pub-
lished a series of resolutions passed by
the Centre County Grange, protesting
against certain ideas of improving our
roads, and declaring that all legislation
on this subject should be left to the peo-
ple of the county, to regulate and do as
to them seems best. That our roads need
improving is a fact so palpable that he
would be deemed a fool who would deny
it. That thousands upon thousands of
dollars are wasted annually in each
county in the State, under our present
road system, is equally true, and that
some change in our present road laws,
intended to secure better highways, is
sure to come, is another undoubted fact.
Facing these facts, the duty and we
should think the interest of the grangers,
representing, as they aim to, theagricul-
tural interests of the State, would be to
devise and recommend some scheme,
method or law that would secure the
end sought, in place of simply ‘where-
asing’”’ and ‘resolving’ against those
already suggested.
‘We presume that every person who
has given this matter any thought,or has
made any suggestions as to the amend-
ment of our road laws, has done so with
but one object in view, the securing of
the best roads possible for the least
amount of money. Some may have
ideas far above what the actual
needs of the people are, and suggest such
roads and methods of making, as would
be entirely too expensive in districts
lying distant from the centers of travel,or
thinly populated, but because they do
80,is no reason why the movement to se-
cure better roads should be cried down,
or all other suggestions declared imprac-
ticable. Indiscriminate opposition to
any movement is an- easy matter. It
won't make roads, however, nor will it
save the large amounts of money an-
nually thrown away for this purpose,
under our present system.
In place of contenting themselves
with “resolving’’ against this, that or the
other method, let our granger friends,
representing the farmérs of the State,
upon whose shoulders the burdens of
road-taxes fall, give this matter serious
thought and suggest some more effective
"and economical way of accomplishing
the end sought than those against
which they resolve so earnestly, and we
shall all be satisfied.

SUDDEN DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE
Cr11zEN.-In the death of Mr. John Bing,
of Unionville, Bald Eagle Valley, looses
one of its best and best known citizens.
Suddenly and without warning, while
reading a newspaper on Saturday morn-
ing last, this most estimable citizen
passed away. He had neither been
ill nor complained of feeling unwell.
No one had any idea but he was enjoy-
ing the best of health, and his terribly
sudden taking off was a shock
to the community that it will not soon
recover from.
Mr. Bing was in his 71st year at
the time of his death. He was born
near Center Furnace and passed the
greater portion of his life within the
limits of this county. 1848 he moved

sion of the crime.
—— Up to this time the Commission-
ers have made no arrangement about
the scaffold from which Hopkins is to

ordered one from Lycoming county, and
the other report that Mr. Samuel

are premature. They will finally de-
termine this matter to-day, (Friday).

Lambert, of near Roopsburg, will be
glad to learn that there are bright pros-
pects of his recovery, sufficient at least
to enable him to be about again. Since

great credit to Fimshlf and his party.
He wasappointed Postmaster at Union-
ville by President Cleavland, shortly
after his election,and served until a short
time after the Harrison administration
came into power. These places of
public trust he filled conscientiously,
faithfully, and to the entire satisfac-
tion of the public. He was a man of
honest purposes, upright in his deal
ings, frank and straight forward in all
his acts, and one who commanded the
esteem and respect of all who knew
him. His funeral, which was largely
attended, took place on Tuesday, his
remains being buried in the cemetery
near his home.

Court:
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Court of Sessions of the Peace in and for
Centre county :
The grand inquest of the Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania, inquiring for
Centre county in all matters relating to
the same, do respectfully report: That
they have acted upon 19 bills of indict-
ment of which fifteen were found true
bills and four ignored.
‘We beg to further report that we have
visited and inspected the County build-
ings and found the jail and yard in ex-
cellent condition, but recommend the re-
moval of the shed roof at back door in
yard which may assist priseners in mak-
ing an escape.

modate the crowd in attendance at the
present term of court (which is unusual)

The “Swamp Fox” of Georgia.
Turning over a page ot his private
memorandum book, “Bill” Jones, the
detective said :
“Here is the case that gave me my
title of Swamp Fox of Georgia.”
“What is it?”
“In 1868 a safe was blown open in
Macon and about $11,000 was taken
oul. The case was put into my hands,
and I fcllowed the man into the swamps
near where Lumber City now is. I
found him there working at the mill,
and got work, too. In a short time he
and I were quite friends, and were sleep-
ing together. He had a habit of leav-
ing the bed before daybreak every morn-
ing, and I began to follow him. It was
slow work and required several weeks.
One morning I'd go a certain distance,
and then back, and the next morning a
little further. Finally I went to the
end of his rope. I followed him into
the heart of the swamp and saw him
take a package from a stump. He han-
dled it a while and then put it back. I
guessed what it was, and I guessed well.
That night 1 went to the stumpand pull-
ed out the package, and foundover $10,-
000 in it. Thatnight we went to bed
together, but about midnight I got up
and securing an officer for whom I sent,
went to that stamp. The next morning
he came at the usual hour, and as he
stooped to reach for the package we
sprang upon him and he was ours.”
“What became of him ?”
$2,500.”

goes the whole hog, even tothe wart on
his nose. It isn’t this way with man.

Died.
ALEXANDER.—At midnight of the 2nd. inst
after a long illness, Lydia R , only and belov
ed daughter of W. K. and Sarah Alexander,
aged 13 years, 1 month and 29 days.
In their great affliction, Mr. and Mrs. Alexan,
der have the heart felt sympathy of all. Lydia»
whose death they so deeply feel, was bright be.
yond her years ; loving and affectionate in her
disposition ; sweet and tender in her inter-
course with others ; true and good in all her
actions. Over a yearago, like a tender plant,
she began to fade. Hoping to restore her to
health her parents moved to Denver. A short
residence there showed them the hopelessness
of a climatic cure and they returned to Mill,
heim, still hoping that the good Lord in His
all wise providence would spare their child.
It was willed otherwise and she rapidly grew
worse. Too good and bright and pure ana
beautiful for this earth, she was taken, and all
who knew and loved her, mourn.
The following lines are dedicated to W. K. Al
exander and wife, in their hour of sorrow for
the death of theirdaughter Lydia.
By THEIR Pastor, “Bro,” Hicks.
Your home for years enjoyed a loan,
A special gift from God ;
A tender plant, a fragrant flower,
That cheered earth’s toilsome road.
There came a breeze, with poison full,
In search of flow’rets rare ;
Many homes it passed on wing,
But death it left in yours.
Earth’s “good things” into home had
come,
With joys of gospel light ;
Surrounded thus, the flow'ret grew,
Beautiful, fragrant, bright.
Cruel breeze ! it kissed the bloom
And rose of health from loan ;
Tho’ watched and loved by all around,
Death snatched it from your home.
The welcome that in by-gone days,
Met you at the door;
Of “home, sweet home,” at evening time
Will never greet you more.
The eyes that oft looked love in t hine,
Will ne’er again inspire
The sacred circle—earthly home,
With love's immortal fire.
From earth the life so loved is gone,
Beyond all pain and care ;
Where angels live and death ne’er comes
Heavenly joys to share.
Father, Mother, sad your hearts,
Cheerless, too, your home;
Mid tears rejoice, God knoweth best,
Then say—“Thy will be done.”
Tho’ few the years she lived on earth,
Shace and shine were given ;
Enough of both had pierced the soul,
To turn the life to heaven.
Without distrust, lean hard on God,—
Thy joy. thy light, thy stay;
Where daughter is,He’ll bid thee come,
And praise thro’ endless day.

MALORY—Jan.2nd, at Lemont, Ella,daughter of
George and Emma Malory, aged 2 months
and 7 days.
Dear Ella, we are lonely
Since thou art gone to rest,
Our hearts are wrung wit anguish
And sorrow fills our f-reast.
Our home we thought so happy
Is now a lonely place,
It is there we miss our Ella,
That dear sweet little tace,
We miss thee at the fireside,
We see thy vacant chair,
We miss thee at the table,
Ella! we miss thee everywhere,
We did not ask for honor,
We did not ask for wealth,
We only asked that Ella
Might be restored to health.
But that wish was denied us,
And we are left to mourn ;
The little one we loved so well
Is to a new life born.
Oh ! our darling little girl,
Tis hard to give thee up;
Tis by the father’s gracious will
That we drink the bitter cup.
