Now let us see what the hornets know
about the weather.

PRESIDENT HARRISON ON CENTRE
CouNTY SorL.—Last Saturday Philips-
burg had the distinction of containing
within its limits a live President of the
United States. Mr. Harrison, who i8
winding up his protracted outing al
Cresson, as the guest of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, after his so-
journ in the gift cottage at Cape May,
was induced to pay a visit to tha Clear-
field coal region, an invitation having
been extended to him through the me-
dium of Rev. W. H. Dill, of Clearfieid,
and Hon. John Patton, of Curwensville.
Accordingly,in company with Mrs. Har-
rison and a number of attendants, he
started last Saturday morning, and, first
reaching Houtzdale,he was there greeted
by a large crowd that had been attracted
by the curiosity to see a President. In
the programme of reception the Grand
Army took a prominent part, and an
organization of school girls was assigned
the duty of throwing flowers into the
carriage containing the President and
his wife. There was an evergreen arch
under which the distinguished visitors
passed, and a grand stand to which Mr.
Harrison was conducted by Adjutant
General D. H. Hastings. Brief speeches
were made to which the President briefly
replied, and then the Presidential party
started for Philipsburg where they ar-
rived at about 8 o’clock. There also a
large crowd was waiting to receive him.
and there was also some cheering when
he alighted from the train, which was
entirely natural and proper. The
band played a patriotic air and the re-
ception committee took him and Mrs:
Harrison in charge, the chief burgess
leading the former, and General Has-
tings the latter to the carriage that was
to take them around town. The rest of
the visiting party were put in other car-
riages, and the procession then proceed-
ed to go through the principal streets of
the town. This was about all that was
done, as the President did not alight
until he got back to the station when he
took the cars for Clearfield and Curwens-
ville. The visiting party consisted of
President Harrison and wife; Mr. McKee,
the President’s son-in-law, and his wife,
the” President’s private secretary, Mr.
Halford; Mrs. Dimmick;General Hastings;
Hon. John Patton; Frank L. Sheppard,
General Superintendent of the P. R. R.;
Geo. W. Boyd, Assistant Passenger
Agent P. R. R.; S. 8. Blair, Supt. T. &
C. R. R.; Rev. W. H. Dill and wife.
A DELIBERATE SUICIDE.-John Archey,
aged about sixty, an old and well known
farmer of Franklin township, Hunting-
don county, displayed extraordinary
deliberation and method in getting
himself out of the world. He was in
Tyrone last week, where he was a fa-
miliar figure, and for some days pre-
vious to his self destruction kept him self
busy settling up all his accounts, paying
every bill against, and taking notes for
bills due him ; in fact he wound up his
business affairs thoroughly, evidently
with the deliberate intention of putting
an end to his life. - Tuesday evening he
acted rather strangely, driving in the
cows and doing other small pieces of
work which he had not been accustom-
ed to perform. On coming to the house
he remarked to his son that he was
thinking of killing himself. His son,
startled at this remark, endeavored to
turn bis thoughts from the horrible
direction they were taking, and warned
him not to speak in such a way before
his wife. Mr. Archey thereupon said
he would lie down awhile. He did so,
but when Mrs. Archey went to awaken
him for supper, shz found him in a deep
slumber. He had taken laudanum, and
was slowly dying, A physician was
called in and worked with him all
night, leaving him about five o’clock in
the morning apparently on the road to
recovery, but he died an hour later from
the effects of the deadly drug.
DEDICATION OF A CHAPEL.— The
Methodist chapel in Coleville, a suburb
of this place, which was built this sam-
mer, was dedicated last Sunday after-
noon. It was a beautiful day, and the
fine weather, together with the interest
of the occasion, drew a large attendance,
In order to accommodate the concourse
of people that was expected, seats were
fitted up outside, where the sermon was
preached by Rev. Pennepacker, of Clear-
field. The dedication ceremonies were
performed by Rev’s. Hauck and Penne-
packer. At preliminary services in
the Bellefonte Methodist church in the
morning $200 was raised for the bene-
fit of the new chapel, leaving about $150
yet to be raised, which we believe was
secured at the dedication in the after-
noon. The new edifice isa neat little
building, with a seating capacity of al-
most two hundred, and will be of great
service to the Methodists of Coleville.
A Bic Fisa.—Warrea G. Lingle, a
lad aged twelve years, residing near
Shawsville, Clearfield county, succeeded
in catching a salmon trout in the
Susquehanna river below that place
recently which weighed 10} pounds and
measured 83 inches in length.’ His un-
cle, who was fishing a short distance
above the boy, saw the struggle and ran
to the rescue just in time to capture the
monster fish after it had broken the line
and downed the boy, who was fighting
to keep him on shore,

young man.
——The Philipsburg papers are full
of exultation over the visit of President
Harrison to 1heir town. ‘They would
have gone entirely wild if he had brought
Baby McKee along with him, Un-
fortunately that interesting infant was
left at Cresson with his nurse.
——DLast Wednesday Mrs. Loretta
Yohey, of Pleasant Gap, received a
check for $1000, insurance on the life of

nouncing the death of his mother at her

day evening so as to be able to fill his
appointment on Sunday.
——A venerable turtle turned up in
Getz’s woods, Dunstable township, Clin_
ton county, one day last week, with the
letters «J, N., 1833,” distinctly engraved
on its antique shell. The initials are
supposed to be those of John Neff, who!
any years ago owned the property
upon which the aged turtle still lives
and enjoys life. i

Noll, of Milesburg, Thomas Noll, of
Pleasant Gap, Geo. Noll,of Boggs town-
ship, Mrs. Henry Walkey, of Bellefonte,
and Mrs. Mary Swartz, of Storeysburg,
Somerset county.
——Tt is early in the season, yet the
bear stories are already coming in. The
Renovo News says a bear which weigh-
ed four hundred pounds was shot on the
mountains in the vicinity of Glen Un-
ion, Thursday, by a young man whose
name is not given. It required five
shots to kill the animal, four of which
lodged in its body and ore in the head.
The hide measured eleven feet in length,
and those who saw it pronounced it the
largest bear ever caught in that section.
——One of the old citizens of this
county who have recently been called
to the other world, was Irvin Leech, re-
siding about three miles west of Centre
Hali, whose death, at the age of 70, oc-
curred last week. Although somewhat
eccentric he was a useful man in his
day, he having assisted in raising over
one hundred barns in the section in
which he lived. He was a member of
the Presbyterian church, unmarried,
and lived on the farm with his brother
John.
——The unclaimed articles of value
found at Johnstown after the great flood
of 89 were sold at auction in Pittsburg,
recently. The proceeds are to be devot-
ed to the erection of a monument to the
unknown dead. The prices brought !
were low, valuable articles going for a
few dollars. The sale will not realize |
over $1000. Many persons who had lost |
relatives in the flood attended the sale
and carefully examined every article in
the hope of obtaining some clue to the
burial place of tke lost ones. The hopes
of some were gratified.
house. They succeeded in finding $120 |
A TALE oF AN OVERCOAT.—During
the granger’s picnic Mr. Frank Mont-
gomery, of this place, had a stock of
clothing on the ground for exhibition
and forsale. Among his customers was
a young man named Henry Weaver,
who is also called Henry Pennington,
who during the day bought a light over-
coat. It appears that afierwards he
came to the conclusion that he ought to
have a heavier one, and, acting upon
this idea, he come back in the evening
to Mr. Montgomery's stand and stole
another overcoat that would be more
suitable for cold weather, He was seen
to take 1t by some one, but not being
challenged with the theft he left undis-
turbed for Bellefonte. When Mr.
Montgomery became aware of the loss
of the coat, and who took it, and where
the thief had gone, Le telephoned to the
authorities at Bellefonte to arrest him.
Upon the information coming to Dis-
trsct Attorney Meyer he informed the
| Sheriff and they both went out on the
street to see whether their customer was
visible. Tt wasn’t long before they saw
the overcoat man coming up the street
wearing the coat he had purchased. He
went into the barber shop under the
National Bank. They soon followed
and found him in the barber’s chair with
his face well lathered. Mr. Meyer asked
him if he was Henry Pennington, and
upon his replying in the affirmative,
that officer told him that he had a
warrant for him for stealing an over-
coat from Frank Montgomery at the
granger’s picnic. Whether he got red
in the face upon this announcement
could not be seen on account of the lath-
er, but he took the matter very coolly,
startling the officers by the candid ex-
pression,'By G—d, I done it.’ There was
no occasion for further parleying after
such an acknowledgment, and the Dis-
trict Attorney handed him over to the
Sheriff to be taken in charge after his
face had been scraped. He gave bail
in the sum of $500 for his appearance at
Court, and it is altogether likely that in
the warmth of a prison cell he will have
no use for an overcoat next winter.
RECORD oF THE FIFTH REGIMENT. —
The report ot Major Patterson, Inspec-
tor of the Second Brigade, National
Guard, as to the standing of the differ-
ent companies in tbe brigade at the in-
spection last spring, has been filed at
the Adjutant General’s office. It shows
the following rating of efficiency and
attendance for the Fifth Regiment,grad-
ed to 100 as perfect: Fith Regiment,
Col. Burchfield, efficiency, 57.8 ; Co. A,
Capt. Bare, efficiency, 57.8; Co. B.
Capt. Reber, efficiency, 71.6; Co. C,
Capt’ Bell, efficiency,56.5 ; Co. C, Capt.
Kennedy, efficiency, 44.2, Co. F, Capt.
Braughler, attendance, 85.7; efficiency,
61.4 ; Co. G, Capt. Elder, attendance,
85.7, efficiency, 634; Co. H, Capt
Wonders, attendance, 77.7 ; efficiency,
47.9; Co. I, Capt. McNamara, attend-
ance, 74.6, efficiency 83.
REARRESTED.—The young man Hol-
lingworth who was arrested last week on
the charge of carrying a revolver which
he had recklessly flourished,and was dis-
charged on the Dogberry decision of As-
sistant Burgess Swoope that there was no
law to hold him for such an offense, was
rearrested on Thursday of last week for
a similar misdemeanor. He had been
encouraged by the previous failure of
justice to flourish his revolver again.
For the second offense he was committed
to jail, but was released upon his giving
bail to appear in court for trial. It is
time that the law should come down on
this revolver business with a heavy
hand.
MorraLiTy AMoNGg FisH.—It is re-
ported that a remarkable mortality pre-
vails among the fish in Penn’s creek,
and that large numbers of them, par-
ticularly suckers and chubs, are seen
floating dead on the surface of that
stream. Upon examination it was seen
that a parasite in the form of a worm
kills them. The worm starts at the head
of the fish and eats its way to the tail,
leaving the back of the fish raw and
sore. The worm is as thick as a
lead pencil, growing to that size as it eats
its way along, it no doubt being quite
small when it starts at the back of the
head. Even the fish must have their
affliction in this troublesome world.
AN ATTEMPTED INCENDIART3M. — Last
Friday night a box containing chips cut
with a knife, and straw saturated with.
lubricating oil, was placed at the side of
the porch of Mr, William B. Mingle,
cashier of the Pennsvalley Bank, in
Centre Hall, with the obvious purpose of
setting fire to the building. The com-
bustibles bad been set on fire, but igni-
tion had failed apparently in conse-
quence of a sack having been thrown
over the box. Mr. Mingle’s family at the
time were attending the granger’s pic-
nic'and found these preparations to burn
them out, when they returned on Satur-
day morning.
NEXT YEAR AT Lock HAVEN.—At
the big gathering of the State Firemen’s

ber, 1891.
Our Hebrew citizens abstained

served it as the day of Atonement.

up and taken good care of her.

Ports oF AMERICA.—It may be of

are out for the Board of Pardons to re-
consider the case of Fietta Weaver who
at the April term of court was convict-
of her father-in-law, Andrew Weaver,
and is now undergoing a term of im-
priconment in the western penitentiary
for that offense. The petitioners repre-
sent that they believe that the offense
of which the defendant was convicted
was committed in self-defense, and
on account of her extreme ignorance
and inability to understand the conse-
quences, she refused, when put on trial,
to interpose the plea of self-defense.
Believing that the killing was an act of
self-defense, the petitioners ask for her
pardon.

PockeT PICKING. —Last week Mr. Dan-
iel Garman, of this place, while attend-
ing the granger’s pic nic at Centre Hall,
had his pocket picked in the big crowd
that had gathered there. He did not
discover his loss, which amounted to
about $60, until he was on the train
returning to Bellefonte. After the
discovery he returned to the grounds and
made it known, and Henry Miller, a
railroad engineer residing in Spring
township, who was in attendance at the
pic nic, alleged that he saw some one
raiding Mr. Garman’s pocket, and des-
ignated a person who called himself
Geo. E. Ruff) a fakir from Philadelphia,
as the thief who had released Mr. Gar-
man of his pocket book. Ruff was ac-
cordingly arrested on Saturday and
brought to Bellefonte, where he was
lodged in jail over Sunday, and had a
hearing before Squire Foster on Mon-
day. Miller, the witness, weakened con-
siderably on his first statement, and as
the Squire thought there was not suffi-
cient evidence to hold Ruff he was dis-
charged.

S1x7¥ YEARS OLD.—The many Belle-
fonte friends and acquaintances of Hon.
S. R. Peal, of Lock Haven, will be in-
terested in the fact that on last Saturday
be reached the sixtieth milestone in his
life’s journey. On that occasion there
was a pleasant reunion of his immediate
relatives at his residence, consisting of
hisown and his sisters’ families. He is
the only male representative of his fath-
er’s family, the late Dr. John W. Peale,
of Sunbury. His five living sisters were
present, as follows : Mrs. Dr. Haas, of
Mahonoy, Northumberland county ;
Mrs. Dr. Lumley, of Williamsport ;

Lock Haven, and Miss Theresa Peale.
The reunion was a pleasant occasion.

served physically and mentally, and we
trust that he has many useful years
ahead of him.
