It is a comfort to hear from Africa that that sweet-scented Ethiopian potentatz, the king of Dahomey, has been roughly handled by the French, and if the latter should succeed in put- ting an end to his barbaric sway, they would be doing a great service to the dark continent. ——The Flood Relief Committee ot Mifflin county have finished their la- bors and made a detailed report which has been published. Besides provisions, there were $16,875.70 received in cash, all of which was distributed.

ANOTHER INCENDIARY BURNING OF A BArN.—The barn on the property of Mrs. Dr. Crawford, near McCoysville, Juniata county, was destroyed by an incendiary fire one night last week. Two sheep, one lamb, four hogs, 150 bushels of wheat, 200 bushels oats, fifty bushels rye, 800 bushels corn in ear, fifty tons hay, lot straw, all the farming imple- ments, machinery and horse gears were consumed together with the building. One good horse was so severely burned that his life was despaired of. The loss to Mrs. Crawford will be no less than $3,000. There was an insurance of $1,200 on the barn and $400 on contents. A Hica ExcoMIUM.—A correspon- dent of the Tyrone Herald pays the fol- lowing tribute to the worthy pastor of the M. E. church of Bellefonte : «Long as I have known the Rev. W. A. Houck, of the Bellefonte Methodist Episcopal church, I have loved and revered him, and I never saw a blemish in his character nor a flaw in his christianity. ‘We were scarcely sixteen years old when we found-our way to the Cassville Seminary and there we stayed five years until we had finished the course. Even in those days it was for the pulpit that he made the most vivid impression upon my mind. To- day heseems like one of the skilled of ancient Egypt or Judah, a student both of the book of Nature and of that of the ‘Word—a true priest of the Lord, going before his fdllowmen with uusullied gar- ments, in the paths of religion and christianity, not to challenge attention to himself, but only to show that the path of devotion to the Master is the only wise and safe one to follow. Re- ligion 18 the key-note upon which he bases all his versatile play of beautiful thought. True character is the aim of this good preacher. True philosophy is to him the right theosophy. And all that is real and beautiful in man, ir the realm of man’s world, Nature, and in God’s Holy Word, has value to him and is loved, imitated and spoken of by him to all those who look up to him as a guide. Loving the Methodist Episco- pal church and her great book concern in New York, he told his congregation all about it a few Sundays ago. Hes a true, safe pastor, and only when the time for resting and awaiting reward and exaltation come; will it discover how great an influence for good his work exerted. Though the light of his star is no longer shining as a presiding elder, its reflection, caught in the retine of many memories, will stand ever unforgotten, just as it has been photographed upon the tablet of the constellations of the Central Pennsyl- vania Conference.” A DISTRESSING FATAL ACCIDENT.— The following particulars of a pitiful ac- cident we get from the Philipsburg Jour- nal of Tuesday. Last Saturday Tommy Stokes, son of Josiah and Anna Stokes, was innocent- ly watching his sister and two or three other children who were sliding on the ice in a culvert, having gone up to the railroad to watch them. Being only four and half years old and absorb- ed in the gleeful play of the older ones, he was unconscious of the danger he was in. In afew minutes the shifter at the Pardee mine came along and before the engineer could possibly stop it, knocked the little fellow down and he fell in such a way that his head was entirely severed from his body, with both his arms broken in several places. The family formerly lived at Point Lookout and are well known in that neighborhood, much sympathy being exterded to them in their sad and sud- den bereavement. The little boy was a pet to all who knew him, was a good looking child and very bright.

Yard on High street, Bellefonte, Pa. ——In New York a life insurance company has lent $120,000 to a church, and the church has had the lives of a number of its members insured in favor of itself. The life insurance company has agreed, every time one of the mem- bérs who is thus insured dies, to reduce the debt of the church by the amount of his policy. Every time the church has a funeral of one of these it lops off a slice of debt ; in other words, members and debt disappear together. Pine Grove Mentions. Moses was in town last week. Our town has about passed through the grip scourge. There isa rapid decrease in the sur- rounding community in the number of cases. Rev. J. C. Young is conducting a series of revival meetings in the M. E. Church at this place which are being largely attended. D. W. Miller, Esq., is preparing to build a barn on the late T. F. Potter farm the coming season. Henry Krebs is the contractor. Our portly and obliging merchant, D. M. Weaver, is suffering the loss of the use of his left eye, caused by a flying cinder lodging inside of the lid, causing him intense pain. Misses Fannie and Mand Livingston, of Ty rone, fosmerly of this place are visiting former numerous acquaintances hereabouts, besides being in attendance atone of our late wed- dings. Thursday night of last week the mercury dropped to sixteen below zero, by which ice was formed tour inches in thickness. All of theice houses in the town and country were filled. The recent distructive fire is still the theme of conversation on allsides. The families who were left homeless and dependent upon cold charity are being cared for by the hospitable citizens of town and county. Part of the Kell: er family are housed with Mrs. J.Musser,while the Harper family are sharing the hospitality of W.J Meyer. In and Around Hannah Station. Business is on the increase at Hannah. A. S. Price it at present loading and shipping three cars per day of lumber and paper-wood. Al is a pushing, go-ahead fellow, full of en- terprise. A few more like him would keep things booming at Hannah. Harry Chaney, book keeper at Morrisdale Mines, gave Hannah a flying visit one day this week. Come again Harry, you are wel- come. The ice men have been; filling their ice houses with ice two and one-half inches thick which is rather thin business. M. C. Walk and wife have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in their late sad be- reavement—a notice of which appears else- where in this paper. A Unique Epitaph. The Monument in Memory of Mrs. Ann D. Carter, Who Had Twenty-one Children. MEgpi1a, March 8.—The tombstone to the grave of the late Mrs. Ann D. Car- ter, who died last October, has just been finished by a Media marble dealer, and contains rather a novel inscription Mrs. Carter had born twenty-one child- ren. The stone to mark her grave, as or- who 1s still living, after giving the date of her birth and death, has the follow- ing lines cut in the marble: Some have children and some have none, But here lies the mother of twenty-one. Mis. Carter is buried in the graveyard of Bethlehem Church in Thornbury. Great Sioux Reservation Now Open.

We don’t hear so much about the General Hastings boom for Governor, but nevertheless it is alive and kicking. The General has a great many friends around these parts, who will be apt to do ail they can to secure him the Re- publican nomination. Quay is in bad odor with the better portion of the Re- publican party, and especially since Lis exposure by the New York World. Though Paxson, Delamater, Osborne, Montooth and others are still in the field, the Hastings steed yet prances in honorable pride around the Republican gubernatorial pasture field. ——The biggest ship load of animals since the time of Noah's Ark, was that brought into New York, on Wednes- day, by the Steamship Furnessia. She carried 242 horses, 55 ponies, 35 cages of wild beasts, 15 elephants, and a large assortment of camels,zebras, sacred oxen and other animals, beside 635 people. It was Barnum’s big show returning from London. : ——The three cent piece and the twenty cent piece are to be abandoned, and no more will the lightning ticket seller at the circus palm the former off for a dime and the latter for a quarter on the unsuspecting Reubens who are so ( anxious to get into the big tent that they ‘ do not exa mine their change closely. available forces were in operation and most | dered by her husband, Amos D. Carter, A Very Pretty Wedding. On Wednesday, the 5th inst, the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Fry, near Pine Grove Mills, was the scene of a most de- lightful hymeneal event. It was the oc zasion of the marrisge of their accomplished daughter, R. Mary, to Mr. Charles Dale of near Lemont. At 11 o'clock, a. m., the relatives and friends had all assembled, when Miss Dale, the groom’s sister, took her place at the organ and render- ed a very beautiful wedding march, to the time of which the bridal party presented themselves, Miss Maude Livingstone of Ty- rone,serving as bridesmaid, and Mr.John Dale, of Lemont, as “best man” in place of the bride’s brother, Mr. John Fry, who had expected to serve in that capacity but was prevented from doingso on account of sickness which con- fined him to his bed since Monday. The marriage ceremony was very briefly but beautifully and unpressively performed by Rev. Geo. Elliott, assisted by Revs. Kelley and Aikens. At12 o’clock all were escorted to the dining room where a sumptuous feast was pre- pared, and to say that all did justice to the “good things,” if not to themselves, would be putting it rather mildly. It is useless to attempt to describe the com- pleteness of all the arrangements, but suffice it to say that everything gave evidence of the most generous hospitality on the part of the bride's parents. The afternoon was spent in a pleasant social way until 4 o'clock when the happy couple left for Washington and other places of inter- est, where they will spend their “honey moon,” and then return to the groom’s home near Le- mont. The bride received some very pretty and useful presents. Among the guests were Miss Fry, the bride’s sister, from Belleville, Mifflin Co., and her grandmother, Mrs Fry, of Pine Grove Miils; Mr. and Mrs. Dale, the groom's parents and his sister; Mr. and Mrs. McGirk, Mr. John Dale and sister of Lemont; Rev. Mr, Kelley of Greysville; Rev. and Mrs. Chas. T. Aikens, Miss Annie Musser and Miss Annie Bottorf, of Pine Grove Mills; Mr. McWilliams and sister of Greysville; Miss Gardner of Penna, Furnace and Mr. Henry Krebs and sister. The brije has very many friends in and about Pine Grove Mills who are sorry to part with her, but our loss is Mr. Dale’s gain ; so we all unite in wishing them a pleasant and prosperous voyage across the sometimes rug- ged “sea of life.” A GUEST. Fortney-Musser Wedding. One of the most joyous events of the sea- son occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Musser on Wednesday, Feb. 16. It was the occasion of the marriage of their daughter, Carry M., to Clement S. Fortney, son of Jas. G. Fortney, one of the most success- ful farmers and prominent citizens of Furgu- son Township. The day was an auspicious one and the hap- py couple started on their voyage of weded life with encouraging prospects. At 10 o’clock the neighbors and friends had all assembled, and when Miss Mattie Ewing took her seat at the organat 1030 a. m., and rendered a beautiful wedding march, the bri- dal party presented themselves before Rev. Chas. T. Aikens who drew the matrimonial knot and pronounced them husband and wifes inthe presence of about 50 witnesses. Miss May Rhone, of Centre Halland Mr. R. C. Musser, of Altoona, served in the capacity of bridesmaid and groomsman and acted their parts excellently. After congratulations and best wishes had been given, all were es:orted to the dining ‘room, where an extensive table aimost groan- of good things, ed under its heavy load which displayed a degree of culinary ability corresponding to the reputation of Mrs. Mus- ser as an expert in the culinary department. You must ask Mr. Stover of the Bellefonte Meat Market who got the ring of the bride's cake. The presents received by the bride were numerous, elegant and useful. Among the friends present from a distance were the bride’s cousins, Mr. Sam’l Stover and sisters, Misses Lulu and Lettie, and Mr Curtin Musser, and the groom’s relations, Mr. and Mrs, D. F. Fortney, Esq. and son Paul, all of Bellefonte ; the bride's brothers Samuel and Frank, together with their wives, of Altoona; also Mr. and Mrs. Thompson from Curwens: ville, personal friends of the groom. A very pleasunt time was spent in a social way nntil 2 o'clock when the new Mr and Mrs Fortney started on their honeymoon trip to Harrisburg and the eastern cities, thence to the “Mountain City” and back to Centre Co.,on Tuesday the 4th inst., when a very fine recep- tion was given them at the home of the groom’s parents near the beautifully situated and pleasant village of Pine Grove Mills.

Gray Meek: Will you give space in your paper to a notice of the Patriotic Sons of America located at the Centre Iron Compa- ny’s Works, and the good work it is doing. For a few weeks it has had two brothers on the sick list, namely, Brother Wm. Swarmly and Jrother Thomas Wilson. With the kind care of the sick committee they can now be report- ed off the list, they receiving their week- ly benefits from the camp during their illness.

Barnursr, President ——A few hours before the train left Buffalo that made connection with the steamer at New York a young man of Buffalo determined to join some friends on their European tour. He went home, told his family of his intention, and, of course, was met by the suprised quiries: “How can you get ready ? You have got to prepare for an ocean voyage. What are yeu going to do ?’* “Nothing but black my boots,” was the laconic re ply. ——Mayor Grant, of New York, has received from some real estate dealers of ‘Washington a letter in which they state that they have for sale the old residence of Martha Washington in Fredericks- burg, Va., where George Washington spent the early part of his life.

Those who use no- thing,—who think they need nothing,—who live on expectation, hope or some intangible nothing, will save time by passing this column by. It isnot intended for them but the other fellows. We write what is here put down for the people who are mortal enough to get hungry, and in consequence of getting hungry are sensible enough to try to get what is good, pure, wholesome and nec: essary, at prices that don’t require them to lay out all that they earl, to appease their appetites. We have been in the hunger appeas- ing business for many, many years. We know what men want, we know what women and children desire, and we know how much better and how much more pleasant it is to re- side in a community where people enjoy good health, than among dyspeptic com- plainers, growlers and suf- ferers. To have healthy people pure food must be used. We understand this, and understanding it, keep nothing but the purest of everything that can be found in the market. To satisfy the demands of the many different stomachs that we try to gratify, re- quires a vast variety of dainties, condiments and relishes,as well as the sub- stantials ; and knowing this there is nothing that is eat- able, relishable or appetiz- ing, that we do not keep. It is for you who want, or use anything eatable, eith- er as meats, fish, groceries, fruits, nuts, relishes, or in * fact anything from a piece of chewing gum to a first class beef steak, that we write and pay the printer to print this invitation for you to come and see us. If you live in town drop in and see what all we have and what quality of goods we carry. Ii you live in the country come in the first time you come toftown and learn how easy it is to get good, pure, fresh groceries, as low if not lower than many have been in the habit of paying for old, impure and strengthlessarticles of diet.
