i Licar WugAT CRrOP IN CLINTON
County.—Farmers who are in the city
“to-day stated that the wheat crop is not
!
== | near as good as it was expected it would
{ be a few weeks ago. The crop did not
; head well, and the grain is of poor
i quality as a general thing. = Ona tarmer
i said he ‘believed the crop in Clinton
, county would not average eight bushels
to the acre. — Lock Haven Express.
A Goop BEAR STorRY.—At Dry Run
| (near Fort Bend) a sow, with a goodly
i litter of pig, strayed off into the moun-
; tains, where her family was attacked
| and destroyed by a bear. While dead
| pigs were strewn all around and some
| had been eaten, the brave sow made a
gallant fight for her family and bruin
had more than he could manage. The
sow was in a terrible fury and would
| have gotten the better of the bear had
the latter not been frightened off by the
i appearance of Mr. Goodman upon the
1
' scene.— Lock Haven Democrat.
A Goop Gurss—M. S. Falck, of Ber-
lin’s drug store on Juniata street, Ty-
rone, on the first of June inawburated a
guessing contest. as to the population
| of Tyrone, With every soda water

| timated the population at 4,697—being
within five of the actual number. Cuts
were drawn and J. Van Wilson came
out first best, Claude Jones taking the
; second.
| A Case SETTLED.--The William-
| sport Sun and Banner of last Friday
-says : Sheriff Cooke, of Centre county,
| came down from Bellefonte this morn-
| ing to see our county officials about the
releasing of Ben Fulton, a member of
the Undine Hose Company, of Belle-
fonte; who celebrated a little too much
on the Fourth and got into the county
jail on the charge of taking some pro-
perty from his hotel proprietor. The
sheriff says that Ben never was guilty
of anything like that before, and hi®
friends feel that he ought to be released.
He couldn't stand the great crack and
whack of our big display of fireworks
without taking too much liquid refresh-
ments, and it was an unintentional
error. The sheriff stated that the pros-
ecutor was perfectly willing to settle the
case and let Mr. Fulton go home to his
family. The case wus settled this after-
noon.
DxATH CAUSED BY ICE WATER. —
Last Monday forenoon Howard McClel-
lan, a 23 year-old son of farmer Jo-
seph McClellan, living near Tussey-
ville, died from the effects of drinking
ice water while heated. He came off
the mow, where he had been receiving
sheaves from the wagon, and while
dripping with perspiration drank. about
a half-pint of ice-water. In a few min-
utes afterwards he fell over dead. He
was an exemplary young man. A
drink of whisky, under tke circum-
stances, would have been less injurious
to him than ice-water, but neither of
them should be used in harvest.
A peculiarly sad incident of this case
consisted in the circumstance that the
young man had intended to start for
school that morning, but, at the solicita-
tion of his father, who had been engag-
ed to dig a grave, he remained and as-
sisted in hauling in grain. His father
was in the graveyard when the news of
his son’s death was brought him,and the
shock was so great that the old gentle-
man was completely prostrated and it
was at first thought he would have to
be carried home.
How SuHiNTOWN Gor ITs NAME. —A
correspondent of the Renovo Record,
writing from Shintown, Clinton county,
says: ‘About the year 1837, when Gov-
ernor Ritrer held the reins of the State
government, it appeared the proper
thing to build a canal from Philadelphia
to Erie, and to this end, sections vary-
ing in length were let to contractors, to
build along the Susquehanna, and else-
where. The money to pay these con-
tractors was furnished by the State, ard
in currency called shinplasters. The
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens was the State's
paymaster, and came from Harrisburg
every month to Shintown and other
places on horseback, carrying the money
in the old fashioned saddle bags to pay
off the contractors. He came so often
to the work, at or near the town now
called Shintown, that the name soon or-
iginated. ‘It is alsosaid, but we don’t
believe it, that Mr. Stevens was an ex-
pert poker player, and that when he
came to Shintown on Saturday night he
would win the money playing poker
and carry it back to Harrisburg.”
The facts in the above history may
be substantially correct, but there is
evidently a mistake in the statement
that Mr. Stevens got his money back by
the game of poker. That great Ameri-
can game had not yet been developed in
Ritner’s time. If old Thad relieved the
Shintowners of their money it was done
through the instrumentality of the more
venerable game of old sledge.

——Mr. James Milliken, of our town,
who travels a great deal, recently visit-
ed Dakota, looking after some valuable
mines in that region in whizh he is in-
terested. The Deadwood Pioneer, of
the 27th ult., speaks of him as follows :
“Mr. Milliken’s home is in Pennsylva-
nia, and be bas an intimate acquaintance
with the politicians and public men,
not only of his own state, but of the na-
tion, is deeply interested in public af-
fairs and a most interesting and fluent
conversationalist, He has sufficient
wealth to permit indulgence of his taste
for literature and politics, and as he has
no personal ambitions to gratify thor-
oughly enjoys it.”
—--The excursion party to Snow Shee
which Judge Furst gave some days ago
in honor of Miss Edith Furst and her
friend Miss Pillsburg, of Lawrence,
Mass., was a very merry and pleasant
one. Among the guests were Miss Van
Gaasbeek, of Albany, N. Y., Miss
Busiel, of Lacona, N. H., Miss Pills.

twenty-four young people of Belle-
fonte.
—— Taylor township has 107 dwellings
and a population of 597. This township
has 30 soldiers and widows of soldiers,
still living in it. One of 1ts citizens,John
Shively, served four years and a halfin
the late war; was in 26 battles, never
received a wound and was not off duty
a single day during that time. After
he was discharged he served five years
in the regular army, and has since that
been quietly farming among the foot-
hills of the Alleghenies. He is about
50 years of age and a Democrat.
——J. A. McClain and Bro. have
purchased 500 acres of timber land on
the mountain facing Centre Hall, from
Gordons, and will at once put a steam
saw mill at the north end of town, near
the water works, and begin the manu-
facture of lumber. The Walker Bros.
of Milesburg will manage the opera-
tion and employ about 25 hands, with
headquarters at Centre Hall. The mill
will be entirely new, and is already in
course of erection.
The corner stone of the new
United Brethren church, corner of High
and Thomas streets, this place, will be
laid next Sunday, 20th inst. The ser-
vices will be held at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. The Rev. G. B. McKee, of
Tyrone, will officiate on the occasion
and also preach the sermon. Other
prominent ministers of that church will
be present. Everybody, and especially
all the resident ministers, are ‘cordially
invited to attend.
——1It should be stated in justice to
the Undine Hose company of this place
that Ben Fulton, who was arrested on
the 4th of July and held in Williams-
port on a charge preferred by the hotel
keeper where he stopped, does not now,
nor ever did, belong to the Undine Hose
company, and at the time of his arrest
was not wearing a uniform of said com-
pany, or inany other way connected.
with it.
——The DuBois Courier makes the
announcement thata “well-known Du-
,Bois Republican says that he has $400
to wager on the defeat of Delamater in
November.” It looks very much as if
that would be a safe bet. It would be hard
to find a Centre county friend of Gener-
al Hastings who would venture to take
that bet.
——Mr. Wilbur Harris, recently a
clerk in the Bellefonte post-office, has
secured a §J00 position in the census
bureau at Washington. As the census
work is going t. bean interminable
job, Wilbur may expect to have a long
tenure of office, but he won’t object, as
he has a keen scent for official snaps.
——A colored camp meeting at Pine
Station began last Saturday and will
continue until the 20th. Rev. J. M
Palmer, of Philadelphia, who has go
away up in colored religious circles and
is quite a preacher, and who was the
Prohibition candidate for congressman
at large, preached last Sunday.
——1It is reported that Coleville, an
outlying suburb of Bellefonte, has be-
tween 300 and 400 inhabitants. If it
and the other suburbs, which are prac-
tically parts of Bellefonte, were added
to the latter’s population, it would make
quite 8 formidable showing in the cen-
sus reports.
~——While James Peters, of Point
Lookout, near Philipsburg, {was work-
ing in the Derby mine Thursday of last
week, a block of coal fell on him, crush-
ing him. It took twe men to remove
it, and he was injured to such an extent
that his death occurred in a few hours
after.
Johr F. Magiuness, ex-editor of
the Williamsport Gazette § Bulletin,
has been appointed by Superintendent
Porter a special agent to collect statistics
of manufactures at Lock Haven and
Williamsport.
A Laree HAUL oF Bucoric BoopLE.
—We mentioned some weeks ago how
Mr. Michael Grove, of College
township, came near being swindled out
of a large amount of money by two ro-
guish adventurers who tried the three
card monte game on him and pretty
nearly succeeded. Scampsin this line
of business operate in the rural districts
all over the country and occasionally
pick up big prizes, The same rascals
who nearly victimized farmer Grove
may be operating in the western part of
the State, as a special from Beaver Falls
says that Joseph Shannon, a wealthy
farmer, aged 63 years, was swindle out
of $9,000 on Thursday by two sharpers.
The game piayed was the time-worn one
with cards. A man calling himself Har-
per and a confederate induced Shannon
to pick out a card and then told him he
had won $9,000, but before this money
would be paid over he must produce
that amount to prove that he could have
paid if he had lost. Shannon went to
the bank, drew the money, and returr-
ed with it. The sharpers then took the
cash from him ard skipped out. The
victimized farmer has offered $5,000 for
the apprehension of the two men. He
thinks he was mesmerized. The game
played in this case appears wonderfully
like the one that came very near mak-
ing Mr. Grove $3,000 short in his cash
account.
THE CANADA THISTLE NUISANCE. —
As much complaint is heard of the
spread of Canada thistles in this section,
the following law on the subject should
be generally known:
“It shall be the duty of land owners
to prevent Canada thistles from going
to seed, and the seed of the same from
ripening. Penalty for neglect, a fine of
$15, one half to the County Treasurer,
and the other to the proceeding inform-
er. Parties (i. ey neighbors) aggri ved,
may give five days notice, and on con-
tinued neglect it shall be lawful for the
former to enter the premises and cut
down said thistles, or hire others to do
so, and such aggrieved persons so doing
may sue and recover {rom the landhold-
ers $2.00 per diem for so doing.”

THE LAuTE GOLDEN WEDDING. —
About 200 guests attended the golden
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard

HoURS FOR SPRINKLING THE STREETS.
—The Bellefonte Water Committee has
set the following hours as the only al-
lowable times wghen persons can sprinkle
their lawns, gardens, orthe street : From
7 to 8 in the morning, from 3 to 4 and 7
to 8 in the evening. This allows three
hours a day for sprinkling purposes, and
owing to the continual pumping now
required to keep up the water supply, it
is all that can be allowed or should be
expected. As it is,there are some of the
higher places in Bellefonte that do not
have water more than two thirds the of
time.
—— While Mr. Ephraim Keller, of
near Axe Mann, one day last week was
cuttinging grain with a self-binder, his
horses became frightened and ran away,
making a complete wreck of the ma-
chine.
——The population of Lewisburg is
3067, a decrease of two hundred and six-
ty-four since 1880.
——Mr. and Mrs. Adam Baum, of
Philadelphia, and Mr. and Mrs. Simon
Kester, of Jersey Shore, were visiting
freiends in Bellefonte this week.
——We learn that Prof. Huston, of
the Pennsylvania State Ooliege, will
soon discontinue his connection with
tat institution and accept the princi-
palship of a school at Seattle, in the
ly of Bellefonte, died at Elmira, N.
Y., this week, and his remains were
brought to this place on Thursday af-
ternoon and buried in Union cemetery.
He leaves a wife and several child-
ren.
——The carrier delivery door that
has been put in the post office is intend-
ed for the convenience of ‘persons who
may want to get their mail matter be-
fore the carriers have gone out or after
the last delivery has been made. Itisa
great accommodation.
——Mr. Wm. Whippo, foreman of
the Freedom Rolling Mills at Logan,
Mifflin county, spent a few days with
us recently. We fouud Bill, as he pre-
fers being called, a whole souled, con-
genial fellow whom any one might be
pleased to meet. The next time you
come Mr. Whippo, make your sojourn
longer.
——The Brockerhoff boys are not
content with the recent improvements
made to their hotel, but have decided to
make it a four story building by adding
a handsome Mansard roof with three or-
namental towers. This, with the full
plate glass fronts and windows, will
make it one of Beilefonte's finest
buildings.
—Prof. D. M. Wolf, recently su-
perintendent of Centre county’s public
schools, Kas accepted the position of as-
si:tant principal of the Bellefonte High
school made vacant by the election of
Mr. Etters as County Superintendent.
The two gentlemen have thus exchang-
ed places. The High school has been
fortunate in getting the services of Mr.
Wolf.
——Mirs. Jos. L. Mitchell, of State
College, died from the effects of a para—
lytic stroke on Monday evening last at
eight o’clock. The deceased had been
confined to her bed since early in the
spring but her friends had strong hopes
of her recovery up to the time she had
the first stroke of paralysis, after that all
hope was despaired of. Mrs. Mitchell
was formerly Eliza IL. Thompson, a
daughter of Mr. William Thompson, of
Milroy and was sixty-one years old last
June. She was a woman of much cul-
ture and refinement and interested her-
self in charitable and church work,
Among the students of the college Mrs.
Mitchell was looked upon as a mother,
and her loss to them will cause a vacan-
cy which can never be filled. Her
sweet temper and kindly disposi-
tion caused all who met her to love her.
A husband, three sons and two daugh-
ters mourn the loss of a devoted wife
and loving mother.
——The death of Miss Margaret Pru-
ner, at her late home on east Spring St.,
on Thursday evening ‘last, was very sud-
den indeed, and a great shock to the
community. Miss Pruner was one of
the oldest and best known residents of
our town and with her death came sor-
row to many of Bellefonte’s poor
whom she was always careful to help.
The deceased was a daughter of Squire
David L. Pruner, well known in this
section, who died many years ago, and
a sister of Hon. Ed. Pruner of Tyrone,
She was sixty-three years of age at the
time of her death.
The funeral took place on Sunday
afternoon at four o’clock. Mr. Hauck, of
the Methodist Church, of which she was
a devout member, officiated, assisted by
Dr. Laurie and Rev. Miles Noll. Thre
pall-bearers were Jno. P. Harris, Capt.
Geo. Bayard, F. Crider, Jno. Meese,
Chas. Shuey and Wilbur Twitmyer.
—-A very unostentatious but'neverthe-
less pretty and impressive wedding, took
place at the Bellefonte Academy build-
ing last evening at seven-thirty o'clock,
the occasion being the union of Mr.
Frank P. Bassett, of Upsalanta, Mich.,
and Miss Marion F. Hughes, the third
dayghter of Rev. Jas. P. Hughes, of
this place. The ceremony was perform-
ed by the Rev. Dr. Laurie of the Pres-
byterian Church in the presence of the
immediate friends of the young couple,
no one outside of the near relatives hav-
ing been invited. The marriage was
with the ring, and a3 the groom placed
it on the finger of his bride, declaring
eternal love and honor,the pair certainly
looked splendid. Mr, Bassett is head
chemist at the Bellefonte Furnace Co’s
works and is a young man of excellent
habits. Among the relatives from a dis-
tance were Rev. Daniel Hughes of)
Petersburg, Luther S. Roberts and
daughter, Orange, N. J., and Mrs. Al-
bert Dunseth of Chicago. The couple
left at 8,65 fora short trip east. They
have our best wishes,

A Foorisu FEMALE FASTER. —Mack-
eyville has a woman who is making a
record of herself as a faster which prom-
ises to equal that of Tanner, if her
strength does not fail too soon. The
lady is Mrs. Daniel Snyder, who, with
her husband, resides in the prosperous
village of Mackeyville in Nittany Val-
ley. Mrs. Snyder commenced her fast
on Sunday, June 10th, consequently
yesterday was her thirty fourth day
since food passed her lips, so far as it is
known. During the thirty-four days
Mrs. Snyder positively refused to cat
food of any kind, and occasionly took a
little water. For the past five days not
even water has passed her lips and she
has become very much emaciated, being
reduced to a mere skeleton. No cause is
known for the woman’s singular action
in refusing to take food. She has no
disease and is apparently of sound mind.
Her condition at present is similar to
that of a person greatly reduced by fever
or other wasting disease and she is un-
alle to speak owing to her weakness.
About two years ago a Philadelphia
doctor performed an operation on Mrs.
Snyder for the removal of an ovari
tumor, but physicians say her rine
fast is no way a result of the operation.
This is said to be the third time she has
fasted for long periods of time, although
in neither of the previous instances did
ber fast continue so long. Mrs. Snyders
death is likely to result in a few days as
she is now thought by physicians to be
in too low a condition to revive.—ZLock
