illness.

prompt action several thousand feet of
lumber which was piled up near the
mill would have l.een also consumed.

Tae Resvnt or Trusting DEAD-
pEATS.—The Philipsburg Journal says :
Our young friend James N. Burchfield
was forced to surrender the keys of his
grocery store to the Sheriff who has
had possession since Monday. The sale
will take place on Tuesday. It isa mat-
ter much to be regretted that Mr.
Burchfied should become involved and
get behind, but not very surprising when
it is known that nearly every profession-
al dead-beat in town had done him up
for a good bill that wasn’t worth the
paper it was written on.
WiLL Go To FarMING.—Ex-District
Attorney John Potter, who turned his
back on the law some years ago, is
about to take the management of a
farm at Marsh Creek, for Judge Orvis.
The hand of misfortune has overtaken
Mr. Potter. The flood swept his pro-
perty at Milesburg and shortly after
fire destroyed his dwelling with all its
contents—thus leaving him about pen-
niless, and dependent upon friends for
a new start. He means to push on,
however, and by industry and horest
manual labor to makea living for his
large family.
PERMANENT LocaTioN.—Therelbeing
objections to the Granger picnic grounds
in the Old Fort Woods, the Grangers of
Centre county, through their represen-
tatives, have purchased for the annual
granger exhibition and picnic of Cen-
tral Pennsylvania twenty-five acres
about a hundred yards west of the Cen-
tre Hall depot, along the railroad, for
$115 per acre. Ln its present condition
it is devoid of woods, but it will be
planted with trees which in a few years
will furnish all the shade and orna-
mentation that will be required. All
the necessary buildings will be erected
by the time of the next exhibition.
DEATH oF A FAITHFUL MINISTER. —
Last Sabbath Rev. James T. Wilson.
one ot the most faithful and successful
ministers of the M. E. Church, was
laid to rest in Cedar Hill Cemetery
among his kith and kin, who have
“gone on berore.” Services were held
in the M. E. church in Salona and
high tributes were paid to his success
and usefulness as a christain minister.
It is estimated a thousand souls were
led through his ministry to seek a
higher, purer life and unite with the
church. He was a great revivalist, it
not being unusual for his charge to en-
joya special season of grace every win-
ter, He united with the church when a
boy of fifteen and was untiring in his
faithfulness. He leaves a wife and son
to mourn his departure.—Lock Haven

ROBBERY AT SNow SHOE.—Quite an
extensive robbery was committed on
Monday night in Snow Shoe by burg-
lars who made araid on T. B. Budin-
ger’s store. Entrance was made through
a back window and the marauders ran-
sacked every accessible drawer in the
store-room. Then after having broken
the combination they blew open the
door of the safe with powder. The
amount of plunder scarcely paid them
for this feat. They got checks to the
amount of about four hundred dollars.
Among them was one by Beecher & So-
ber in favor of Boak & Adams for $275.-
56; another by in
favor of Eliza Lewis for $36; another
by John Madill in favor of T. Budin-
ger for $20, and a fourth by E. Hugg in
favor of Charles Ness for $12. The
robbers took the small iron safe contain-
ing the cash drawer and carried it off en-
tirely. The amount of money stolen is
supposed to have been about a hundred
dollars. Mr. Budinger cautions banks
and individuals not to accept or cash the
stolen checks.
SuppeEN Drata.—John Brachbill,
one of Bellefonte’s old and well known
citizens, died suddenly on Monday night
while in bed, death coming almost in-
stantaneously. About 12 o’clock he pull-
ed the bed clothes up over him as if he
was cold. This attracted Mrs. Brachbill’s
attention who asked him whether he was
chilly. She received no reply and be-
coming alarmed she awakened the house-
hold to see what was the matter with the
old gentleman, and it was found that he
was dead. Dr. Hayes was sent for but
he could do no more than pronounceli e
extinct. Mr. Brachbill was nearly 72
years old, having been born in Juniata
county on the 7th of April, 1818. For
a number of years he was engaged in
the cabinet-making and furniture busi-
ness in this place, having come here in
1841, and in 1846 built his cabinet mak-
ing shop on the site on Spring street
where his son W. R. Brachbill now car-
ries on the furniture business. He was
married to Miss Louisa Runkle and had
eight children, only two of whom, Wm.
R., of this place, and J. Calvin, of Cur-
wensville, survive. The death of Mr.
Brachbillissupposed to haveresulted from
hemorrhage of the brain. Some years ago
he had an attack of paralysis which may
have done its final work last Monday
night. The deceased was an honest, up-
right business man during the time of
his business activity, and at all times a
good and censistent Christian, and no
old citizen of our town has died more
generally respected and regretted.
CR TA TE
Mr. James Foster, chemist at
the State College, has accepted the
position of chemist at the West End
steel works at Pittsburg.
The Lancaster News says: ‘‘Ad-
jutant General Hastings said at brigade
headquarters on Saturday that there
would be no division encampment of the
Pennsylvania National Guard this year
on account of a scarcity of funds for the
purpose.”
Thursday of last week was the
birthday of Andrews, tbe murderer, he
being but 22 years old on that day, a
very immature age for so great a villain.
There was a report of his being danger-
ously ill at the time, but it was an ex-
aggeration. He was suffering from
grip which prevailed among the pris-
oners in the jail.
——C. A. Faulkner and John B.
Howe, of Philipsburg, recently purchas-
ed a tract of 300 acres of fossil iron ore
in Bald Eagle Valley, near Martha Fur-
nace. They have had a tempting offer
for this piece of property, but do not
care to seil, as it is worth much more
than the amount offered, and they think
of operating it themselves.
———The seven year old son of Wil-
liam Lucas, living with a farmer about
five miles outside of Bellefonte, was on
Saturday killed by being thrown out of
a wagon in which he was riding,
one of the wheels passing over his body.
The injuries were of an internal charac-
ter, causing death in some hours, not-
withstanding every effort was made to
relieve him by the attending physician.
About a dozen members of the
Bellefonte Council of the Order of Unit-
ed American Mechanics, on Thursday
evening of last week attended the meet-
ing of the Milesburg Council which on
that evening had a watch drawing. The
lucky man was E. C. Allan, of Excelsior
Council, No 2, Waterbury, Connecticut.
The watch was a very valuable one, be-
ing a handsomely engraved, gold case,
and valued at one hundred dollars. It
bore on the face of the casethe em-
blem cf the order traced in the engrav-
er’s most artistic style and design.
— There seems to bea revival of
license to sell liquor in Juniata county,
as indicated by the following dispatch
from Mifflintown, dated 11th inst: All
the licenses applied for in the county,
six in number, iwo in each borough: and
one each in Monroe and Greenwood
township, were granted to-day, not a
The Jacobs house, in this place, and the
Patterson house,in Patterson, had been
refused license for the past two years,
owing to the temperance war waged
during that time, but met with no op-
position this year.
——J. Linn Smith, formerly of
Howard, this county, but who more re-
cently was employed on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad between Altoona and
Pittsburg, was killed on the railroad at
Lockport, near Pittsburg, last Saturday.
The remains were sent to Howard for
interment. The deceased was a son of
Mr. J. C. Smith, of Howard township.
‘We have not learned the particulars of
the accident. Linn Smith was an old
railroader. On the. fifteenth of this
month he had intended to quit railroad-
ing, come home to Howard and assume
active control of the notion store in that
place which he started about a year ago.
—— Thursday night of last week, 6th
inst., was the coldest night of this sea-
son—in fact one of the coldest experienc-
ed in this neighborhood in many years.
Most of the thermometers in this place
on Friday morning registered 12 degrees
below zero, although several indicated
15 degrees. We learn that Mr. Zeigler’s
thermometer at the Snow Shoe intersec-
tion greenhouse registered 23 degrees be-
low zero, indicating considerable differ-
ence between the temperature at; this
place and at that locality. A remarka-
ble change of temperature preceded this
cold snap, there having been a fall of
over 40 degrees in 12 hours. What ice
we shall have next summer was produc-
ed by this sudden dash of winter.
Adam Hart, the centenarian ang
oldest citizen of Lycoming county, died
at his home in Clinton township, that
county, last Saturday, at the age of 101
years, 10 months and 2 days. He was
born in Turbutville, Northumberland
county, May 6th, 1788. Had it not been
for an unfortunate accident he met with
about a year ago he might have lived
longer than he did. At that time Mr.
Hart sustained a fall and was so badly
injured that he never entirely regained
his former vigor and activity and was
for au greater portion of the time confined
to his bed. On several occasions his
condition became such that his life was
despaired of, but his remarkable vitality
and strong constitution enabled him on
each occasion to rally. A short time ago
he suffered from a severe attack of ill-
ness, and hope of his’ recovery was
abandoned, but again he rallied and be-
came well enough to leave his bed.
His last sickness was brief, and the end
came suddenly without warning, the
cause of death principally being a grad-
"ual wearing out of the system.
single remonstrance being presented. |
Just CoNDEMNATION. —Sheriff Cooke’s
conduct in allowing the capital offen-
ders in his custody to becom: the heroes
of a morbid and vicious curiosity is gen-
erally’ condemned. In speaking of it
the Williamsport Gazette aad Bullet'n
says.
«Morbid curiosity should be dis-
couraged. Too many sorrowful pie-
tures in this world to gaze upon without
seeking to add to the distress and trials
coming in natural channels. Tt is to be
hoped that the Sheriff of Centre county
will see the necessity of ruling out the
receptions and levees in which murderer
Andrews is the principal figure. With a
confession scattered broadcast, bearing
the lie on almost every page, and with a
record as a brutal, unfeeling villain,
it is all wrong to allow seatimen-
tality or sympathy to hedge round and
about his way to the grave. The man
should be passing his remaining hours in
retirement, seeking by earnest and soul-
ful repentance forgiveness for a high
crime against God and man. This
should be the situation, but it is not, and
we but voice a strong public belief that
condemns the uncanny practice of parad-
ing murderers and their awful deeds at
every opportunity. The terrible Kart-
haus tragedy does not end with An-
drews in his payment of the penalty on
the gallows. The deed will live and the
one who caused it should sustain all the
condemnation due his work.”
A BaseBALL NAPoLEON.—The New
York Sun makes the following favor-
able notice of a celebrated native of
Bellefonte :
John M. Ward bids fair to become
the Napoleon of base ball. A certain
lesson is to be learned from the sus-
cess of the players in their efforts to
make a successful showing against the
moneyed men of the League. The out-
door life which the players have led,
their incessant travel, and the necessity
of meeting all sorts of people in the diff-
erent places have had the effect of mak-
ing alert minds as well as strong consti-
tutions. The sport in some respects
is the highest form of athletics and the
players are often men of unusual intelli.
gence. The public had no idea how
much diplomacy, skill and brain work
they were capable of until the present
fight came or. Mr. Ward seems to
hold the whip hand among them, too.
He is certainly a popular idol of no
mean importance. Aside from his skill
as a player he has written entertainingly
and clearly, and he is a lawyer of
some ability.
A Narrow EscAPE.—Mis. J. Gray,
of Philipsburg, had a very narrow es-
cape from what might have been a ter-
rible death last Friday morning. The
water back in the kitchen stove froze
up during the night and in the morn-
ing after the lady had built the fire it
became heated and bursted, demolish-
ing the stove and scattering fire and
ashes all over the apartment. One of
the stove griddles flew up to the ceiling,
and knocked a hole in the plaster. Mrs.
Gray had just stirred the fire and put on
the teakettle, when the explosion occur-
red. Had she been a moment later in
turning away the full force of the ex-
plosion would have struck her in the
face. As it wasshe was hurled across
the room and knocked down, but escap-
ed unburned exceptslightly onthe face
and hands.
YouTHFUL PRESENCE OF MIND.—John-
ny Vail, the young son of Mr.Pat Vail,
of Decatur township, says the Philips-
burg Ledger, is a boy of uncommon
presence of mind. A few nights ago he
and his little sister were asleep in bed
with a lamp burning on a stand close to
the bed. The children wererestless and
in tossing about the lamp was dislodged
from the stand and fell to the floor and
broke and the flood of oil ignited. The
crash wakened the children and little
Johnny, with a presence of mind that
would have done credit to a man,instead
of screaming and running, seized his
clothes and his sieter’s dress and smoth-
ered the flames, thereby preventing a
fire that would in all probability have
burned the house but for his prompt ac-
tion. Good boy, that.
WORTHY MASTER RHONE AGAIN ILL.
—The Farmer's Friend wassorry to an-
nounce last week that Hon. Leonard
Rhone, Worthy Master of the State
Grange, was again indisposed. The
week previous he went to Washington
to assist his colleagues on the Legislative
Committee appointed by the National
Grange—Brothers Brigham and Trim-
ble—in presenting to the Committee on
Ways and Means of the National Con-
gress the views of the National Grange
on certain matters of legislation. On
his return he found his health so preca-
rious as to demand that he dismiss all
mental and physical labor for the pre-
sent. In his illness Brother Rhone will
have the heartfelt sympathy of every
Patron in the country.
NATURAL GAS AT ALTOONA.—F'Ti-
day Times of that place announced that
the Altoona Natural Gas Companys
struck a good gas well at the depth of
1,400 feet thei evening. The loud roar
could be heard quite a distance and ev-
ery indication points to a strong supply.
FRB ERE TER RS
——County Treasurer ~ Goss has
bought a lot on East Linn street on
which it is supposed he will erect his
future residence.
Robert Mitchell, one of Clear-
field’s most prominent and influential
business men and capitalists, died in
that place last Monday, at the age of 77
years.
— The revival meetings of the Unit-
ed Brethren at Coleville, which have
.{ been in progress for the past five weeks
under the’pastoral charge of Rev. G. M.
Eminhizer, have resulted in 75 conver-
sions, of which number 45 have joined
the chureh.
Mr. Conrad Singer, of Marsh
Creek, father of William Singer, Esq.,
of Bellefonte, died at his residence last
Saturday morning after a few days ill-
ness with the grip. He was getting
over the attack, but was taken with a
relapse which terminated fatally.
——The team of Bowman & Yarnell,
marble and granite dealers of Union-
ville, was in town on Tuesday with
tombstones for Lucy W. Burnside and
Mrs. Frances A Boal. The memorials,
though not elaborate, are evidence that
the new firm has the ability to manu-
facture work of the highest order.
——The following is the reported reg-
ister of the weather on Friday morning
of last week, the coldest of the season, a
the following places: Tyrone, 10 below
zero; Bellefonte, 12 below zero; Le-
mont, 14 to 18 at four places; Centre
Hall, 5 below ; Rising Springs, 12 be-
low at four places ; Coburn, 6 below zero
Millmount, 6 below zero; Mifflinburg,
4 above; Williamsport, 8 below zero ;
Snow Shoe, 18 below zero ; Lewisburg,
4 above.
——The people of Howard and vicini-
ty were considerably surprised on read-
ing last week’s Gazette, which stated
that a large number of friends of Miss
Sallie Lucas assembled at her home and
were treated to some very fine music and
to a steaming plate of stewed oysters
prepared by W. E. Confer who was act-
ing on orders from James W., son of
H. T. Lucas. It is also stated that
the room was handsomely decorated
with flowers, and that when the time
came to depart they sang the old familiar
hymn “God be with you till we meet
again.” The names of the vast assem-
bly were all in the Gazette,so we will not
give them. The truth and veracity of
the Gazette and its Howard correspond-
ent can be judged by the people who |;
live in HowARrD.
——Dr. J. E Ward, dental practition-
er of this place, was married on the 5th
inst., at Centre Hall, to Miss Bella
M. Stiver, of that place, by Rev. W. E.
Fischer. The wedding was a quiet one,
there being no attempt at the elaborate
display that is so usual nowadays on oc#
casions of that kind. The guests were
not numerous, including only immedi-
ate friends and relatives. The Doctor,
who is as modest as he is intelligent and
efficient in his profession, has no fancy
for parade, but the occasion which was
the most important of his life was at-
tended with features that made it as joy-
ous as it was quiet, the leading feature
being his selection of the estimable lady
who will be his life-partner. In this he
has the congratulation of his many
friends.
— The plans and specifications for
the new U. B. church on the corner of
West High and Thomas streets have been
agreed upon, and if carried out as now
contemplated, the brethren of that de-
nomination will have one of the prettiest
and most convenient churches in the
town. The entire cost of the building
is estimated at $6,000, a goodly part of
which has already been subscribed, and
as our citizens, outside of those who are
members of that church, have not yet
been asked for contributions,it is believed
that the necessary balance to complete
the building can be obtained without
any great trouble. There is no good
reason why every citizen of the town
should not give something towards this
improvement, and if all do a little the
work will be completad without a heavy
drain upon any one.
——We observe that Mr. Gotlieb
Haag,owner and proprietor of the Cum-
mings House,on Bishop street,this place,
is an applicant for a hotel license. Mr.
Haag has greatly improved the hotel
premises he occupies, putting the build-
ing in first-class condition and enlarging
the stabling accommodations to an ex-
tent that makes them the most commo-
dious in Bellefonte. In this respect the
Cummings House affords a greatly need-
ed convenience to farmers and travelers
with conveyances. In other respects,
such as its reasonable charges for accom-
modation, it supplies a want greatly
needed by people coming from the coun-
tyon business or to attend court. In
granting licenses proper encouragement
should be given to houses which ac-
commodate this important and respecta-
ble class of citizens. License favors
should not be bestowed entirely on the
high-priced houses. Common people
should have some attention paid te their
wants.
——Cards are out announcing the
marriage, on the 9th of April, of Miss
Maud Potts, of this place, to a Mr.
Payne, of New York.

Where now stands an empty little chair,
Your play-things that you used so many ways,
With your little shoes still have a mother's
care.
