A QUEER SHAPED EG6.—On Satur-
day last, Mr. John Q. Miles, left on
our desk an egg measuring one inch in
circumference one way andsix and three
quarters inches the other. The in-
equalities in its make up gave it the ex-
act appearance of a moccasin, showing
the opening for a foot, the broad heel,
contraction at instep and expansion at
ball of foot. Altogether it looked as lit-
tle egg-like as an egg could look, and as
near like a common slipper as if it had
been made specially for that purpose.
A LAGE YIELD.—Last year men-
tion was made in this paper of J. H.
Fredericks receiving from Japan sam-
ples of buckwheat seed. The amount
received was 20 quarts, which was sown
on the farm of Mr. Fredericks, in
Bald Hagle township. From the 20
quarts of seed 80 bushels of buckwheat
was produced. The buckwheat hangs
in clusters on the stalks and accounts for
the large yield, which, with a more fav-
orable season than last year, might have
been greater.— Lock Haven Express.
Tar HuNTINGDON CAR WoORKS.—In
speaking of the adjustment of the diffi-
culties of the Huntingdon Car manufac-
turing company, the News of that place
says: A general feeling of satisfaction
pervaded the business portion of our
town yesterday over the announcement
that the car works in this place would
resume business, caused by the fact that
receivers had been appointed by the
Court in the persons of Stewart L.
Woodford, ex-Governor of New York,
Thos. S. Johnson, of this place, both of
whom are placed under bonds of $100,-
000 each, acting for the Huntingdon
Manufacturing Company, in conjune-
tion with Thomas G. Titch,of Standford,
Conn., the assignees of the Iron Car
Company, all three being under the im-
mediate control of the Court. All cred-
itors and D. Wilson, sheriff, have been
enjoined from any interference, and
a meeting of the receivers will be held
to-day, after which an announcement of
resumption is expected to follow.
THE CLEARY CAsE.—Speaking of the
decision of the Supreme Court giving
young Cleary a new trial, the Renovo
Record says: Doubtless the whole
ground will have to be gone over.
Since the trial many witnesses have gone
to distant parts of the country, but un-
der the act of 1887, the printed testi-
mony of such witnesses taken at the last
trial, may be offered again in evidence.
1t is rumored that Messrs. McCormick
and Kreas, the attorneys for Cleary, will
effect a comprom’se with the Common-
weaith’s attorneys, by offering a plea of
“guilty of murder in the second degree.”
By this arrangement heavy bills of ex-
pense would besaved to the taxpayers,
the prisoner to be sént ten or twelve
years to the penitentiary, and the claims
of justice satisfied. Some attorneys
here, however, entertain serious doubts
about the Commonwealth accepting
such an arrangement, and look forward
to another effort to convict him of mur-
der in the first degree.
A CuurcH EveENT.—The West Sus-
quehanna Classis of the Reformed
church, whose meeting in this place we
briefly noticed last week, embraced rep-
resentatives from congregations in Sny-
der, Union, Clinton, Centre, ‘and parts
of Lycoming and Juniata. There were
present at the Classis twenty-seven min-
isterial and lay delegates.
Rev. W. A Haas, of Selinsgrove,
preached the opening sermon.
Thursday morning the officers of
Classis for the ensuing year were elected
as follows: President, Rev. G. 'W.
Gearhart, of Lock Haven ; Stated Clerk
and Treasurer, Rev. W. A. Haas, of
Selinsgrove; corresponding Secretary,
Rev A. A. Black, of Boalsburg.
Following the election of officers was
the reading of the reports by ministers

until noon. In the afternoon the elec-

port which shows the church in that

INSTALLATION OF A PASTOR.—One of
the most interesting features of the meet-
ing of the Reformed Classis in this place, |
last week, was the ordination and instal- |
lation of Rev. M. O. Noll as the pastor |
of the St. John’s Reformed church of
audience.
preached the sermon of the evening, his
text being St. John, 15:16, “Ye have not
chosen me, but I have chosen you.” It
was an eloquent and forcible discourse,
and had special reference to a minister’s
duties and responsibilities.
The ordination ritual was read by
Rev. D. O. Shoemaker, of Zion,who put
the interrogations to Rev. Mr. Noll, to
which he replied with great earnestness.
The ordination ceremony was then per-
formed, Rev. Mr. Noll kneeling, sur-
rounded by twelve clergymen in a cir-
cle, each with a hand upon his head,
one of them pronouncing the words of
ordination.
This was followed by the installation
service, the young minister reaffirming
his acceptance of the call and the con-
gregation declaring orally that he was
their choice for pastor.
Rev. Mr. Noll enters upon his pastor-
ate under the most favorable auspcies,
with assurance of the most cordial feel-
ing between him and his people, and
prospects of a useful and successful
career as a clergyman.
Two MEN DrRowNED.—A. peddler by
the name of Simon Brook, and a man
by the name of George Laniger, were
drowned on Saturday afternoon about
four o’clock in the river at Burn’s Run,
about a mile and a-half above Keating.
The way the sad affair occurred, as told us
by E. E. Stevenson, who just came from
there, was as follows: The peddler
wanted to get across the river, but was
unable or afraid to do so by himself, and
Mr. Lanigan undertook the task of
ferrying him across. When well out in
the stream the tree to which the ferry
wire was attached, being in sandy soil,
pulled out of root, the ropes got wrong
and the water being high and the current
rapid, the boat was either overturned or
sank and both men were precipitated in-
to the river. Neither could swim and
nothing was seen of them after the boat
was capsized. Their hats and the ped-
dler’s pack were floating on the water and
the latter wassecurred through the efforts
of Mr. Stevenson and one Henry Fisher.
Three persons from this city, one of
whom was the peddler’s brother, went
up to make arrangements to search for
the bodies and to bury them if found.
Mr. Laniger’s fate is a peculiarly sad
one, he being a young man and having
been married only about six months.—
Lock Haven Democrat of Monday.
More Local HistorY.—John F.
Maginness, author of the history of the
‘West Branch Valley, and Biographical
Annals, has met with good encourage-
ment in the sale of his books. All of
the fist volumes of his history will
soon be disposed of, and his Annals
‘are already nearly out of print, and
still there 1s a large demand for them.
It is his intention to publish a full and
exhaustive life of Frances Slocum, the
“Lost Sister of Wyoming,” early in the
fall, which will be a book of deep and
thrilling interest. After that he will
begin the preparation of his second and
last volume of the History of the West
Branch Valley, which will bring the
history up to 1890, closing with the
census. In some respects this volume
will possess greater interest than the
first, showing the progress made in 90
years. Our advancement in agriculture,
manufactures, and everything that pre-
tains to wealth, civilization and refine-
ment, has been remarkable, and only
those who have given these matters
close attention are prepared to realize
the progress that has been made in
everything that constitutes material
greatness.— Lock Haven Express.

Loes Lost.—The pocket boom north

feet of logs belonging principally to

THE ErLeEpHANT FELL Out.—The
Rev. G. W. Gearhart, of Lock Haven, | work of loading the paraphernalia of
i Forepaugh’s show on the railroad cars
| at Johnstown was completed about 1
| o'clock Saturday morning and the trains
| pulled out for Bellefonte about half-past
{ Lo'clock. The journey was without in-
{ cident until about one-fourth of a mile
; east of South Fork—opposite George B.
| Stineman’s coal bank—when one of the
| elephants. fell from a car. It was not
missed until the train reached Altoona.
| From that point messages were sent
| back along the road for information con-
| cerning the animal. A reply being re-
| ceived that it was at South Fork a man
. was sent from Altoona after it. He had
it loaded on a truck of the ballast train
as it was taken east to resume its place®
| among the menagerie attractions. The
"elephant avas not hurt much.
| MEMORIAL SERMON.—As is custom-
| ary, a memorial sermon, preliminary to
| Decoration Day, was preached in this
place last Sunday, the discourse on this
{ occasion being delivered in the Court
! House in the afternoon, by Rev.
iz.w Koontz, of the Evangelical
church. The members of Gregg Post,
G. A. R., some forty or fifty in number,
| marched in a body to the Court” House
{ and occupied seats in the bar. There was
in addition to the veterans a large con-
course, who were deeply interested in
the services and sermon. The music
was rendered by a choir of young men
and the Aeolian orchestra. Rev. Mr.
Koontz’s text was Isaiah 46:8, from
which he preached a sermon excellently
adapted to the subject and the occasion.
After the sermon James Rankin, esq.,
called attention to an interesting fact
when he said that of the 400,000 soldiers
throughout the country who on that
day were listening to memorial sermons,
Gregg Post alone had the distinetion of
having with it one of the old War Gov-
ernors in the person of ex-Governor An-
drew G. Curtin, he being the sole survi-
vor of those gubernatorial patriots who
contributed so much to the success of the
war for the Unicn. Upon this remark
| the members of the Post arose and saluted
the ex-Governor, which he acknowledg-
el with a bow. The services of Sunday
were a fitting prelude to the ceremonies
of Decoration Day.

A Bic CrowD AND A Bic SHow.—
Last Saturday was a big day in Belle-
fonte. Fully 10,000 people cme to town
to see Forepaugh, the show, the crowd,
the fashions, or for some other purpose.
‘We don’t know that ever a larger
number of people have been here at
one time, and certainly there has nev-
er been such a crowd of orderly, well
behaved people, who took in all the
sights and returned home as well pleased
and satisfied, as were the eight thous-
and individuals who sat under Fore-
paugh’s great tents during the afternoon
performance. The show which brought
them here, was a little late getting to
town, but made up for its tardiness
by furnishing our people by far the
most interesting program of pertor-
mance, by man, beast, red-skins and
darkies, ever given in this place. We
won't particularize, because we have not
the time and space. It was in every
respect away above and beyond the
ordinary shows, and fulfilled every
promise made in the papers or on the
posters so liberally posted all over the
county. The intelligent action of the
scores of trained horses, and the dozen
or more of huge elep ants, performing
feats and obeying commands that were
not only surprising but wonderful,
doubly repaid any one for the time and
expense of attending.
Itis but just to the proprietor, Mr-
Cooper, to say, that never before has
a Bellefonte audience or a Centre
county crowd, seen so well behaved,
so gentlemanly and so quiet an army
of showmen. No drunkenness, profan-
ity, no gambling, no skinners, went with
the exhibition,or if there were they kept
so well hid that no one heard of them
while here. This fact is creditable to
this great show, to its managers, the
Messrs. Forepaugh, and to its proprietor,
Mr. Cooper.
To Mr. C. A. Davis, who has general
oversight of much of the business per-
taining to the show, and the press
arrangements in particular, the Warca-
MAN desires to make acknowledge-
ment, notonly for courtesies extended,
but for his willingness to furnish in-
! formation on any subject asked, and for
| his untiring efforts to have all whom he
‘came in contact with pass a pleasant
hour. Our newspaper friends through-
"out the country will find him a gentle-
man in every respect, and one of the
for the cause for which we have Whitest press agents they have ever | Ror A
met.
