A RevortrioN IN LIME BURNING. —
The fir of McCalmont & Co., of _ this
place, general ‘dealers in agricultural
supplies, are also among the heaviest
lime operators in the State. They have
the advantage of limestone of unusual
high quality, much of which is shipped
{in its crude state for furnace purposes,
but most of it is converted into lime in
their own kilns, which is” of so high a
quality as to secure a demand for it, for
manufacturing uses especially, in this
"and adjoining States.
Until the present season they "had
three large flame kilns in operation
which turned out a good many hundred
bushels of lime a day, But this season
another kiln has been added which has
largely increased their output and
which from its improved character is
calculated to bring about a revolution
in the industry of lime-burning. Itis
operated on the principle of the flame
kiln, but the improvements, which were
devised by Mr. William Shortlidge, the
senior member of the firm, add greatly
to the capacity of the kiln and at the
same time improve the quality rof tae
product.
The great feature of the improvement
he has made consists in securing a per-
fect combustion. By improved grate-
bars, which are of his devising, a more
complete draft is secured which enables
the lime to be more thoroughly and
evenly burned. The old style of grate
bars were subject to the defect of being
easily warped and soon burned out by the
action of the heat, to the remedying of
which Mr. Shortlidge gave much
thought until he finally overcame it.
By the improved draft thus secured
the lime is more thoroughly and expedi-
tiously burned than in the old style kilns.
The output is necessarily increased, as
all the lime is converted into a marketa-
ble article, and the quality is improved.
The new kiln has a capacity of 300
bushels a day. Indrawing the limeanin-
genious arrangement has been devised by
Mr. Shortlidge by which the lime is
taken out from an opening some five or
six feet from the bottom, it being
readily and rapidly discharged into an
iron barrow and hauled away. By
this means one man can driw a hun-
dred bushels in twenty minutes which
would be the work of several hours with
the old appliance. Another advantage
con-ists in its being discharged in a cool
condition, while with the old process 1t
isusually drawn ata high temperature.
An arrangement is on ade by which the
small sized lime falls to the bottom of
the kiln where it isdrawn from the open-
ing through which in the old style kilns
the entire pr. duct is drawn. This great-
ly facilitates the work of drawing and se-
parating the large from the small sized
lime, saving time and expense. There
are otherimprovements, but these arc the
main features of Mr. Shorthdge’s per-
fected kiln, which will contribute large-
ly to the orperations of the firm.
——The Omaha Bee of last Sunday
contains quite” an extended account « f
the marriage of Miss Nellie Larimer, a
former Ceutre county girl and a niece of
Mrs. Wm. Spear, of this place, to Mr.
J. W Woodward of Omaha. The cere-
mony was solemnized in the future honie
of the newly wedded couple, which was
a present from the bride's uncle, Judge
A.V Larimer of Sioux City. From
its description it must be a marvel of
luxury and comfort. The wedding was
celebrated on Wednesiay, November
19th. The young couple in their far-
away home have our congratulations
and wishes for a bright and happy life,
Miss Lucy SckoEDER MARRIED. — A
quiet wedding ceremony was performed
at the residence of Mr. D. S. Keller on
West Linn street on Tuesday morning
last at nine o'clock, the participating
parties being Miss Lucy Schroeder, the
youngest sister of Mrs. D.S. Keller,
and Mr. Wm. Bryson, aleading attorney
of Philipsburg, this county. A small
number of the immediate triends and re-
latives were present to witness the
ceremony. The bride has been a leading
society woman of Bellefonte for
some time. She formerly made ber
home with Judge Hagerman, of Read-
ing, Pa. The happy couple departed
on the morning express, west, for an ex-
tended tour. They have the best wishes
of a large circle of friends in our town.
Dear or Mrs. C. K. MCCAFFERTY.
—Mrs. Helen Blanche McOafferty, wife
of ex-city Treasurer Charles K. McCaf-
ferty, of Bradford, died at her home in
that city on Tuesday morning Nov. 18,
at4 o'clock. She had been ill with ty-
phoid fever for about three weeks and
was thought to be recovering up to the
afternoon before her death, when she
was taken with hemorrhage of the lungs
from which she never regained con-
sciousness. She leaves a husband and
two children, aged three and six, to
mourn the loss of a fond mother ard
loving wife. Bellefonters will remem-
men of our town. He 1s a son of Mr,
Chas. McCafferty, of Washington, D, C.
The deceased’s remains were taken to
her fermer home in Lock Haven for in-
terment.

——The members of the Logan Hose
Co.. are preparing to give another of

The dances given by the Logan boys in
the past have always been very enjoya-
ble affairs and we feel sure that the one
as nice, if not nicer.
——The grand musical convention to
be held in Pine Grove Mills, under the
direction of Prof. J. A. Weaver, during
gives promise 8f being one of the best
and most successful entertainments that
that part of the county has yet had.

sire to attend the dance at the College

Railroad Co. will run a special train ov-
er its road to the college and return
after the dance. The train will leave
the P. R. R. station at about 6.30 p. m.
Regular excursion rates will be charged.
——Or Tuesday last Mr. Andrew
Cruse,Sr, showed us a copy of the New
York Herald of Saturday morning,
April 15th, 1865. It was an extra edi-
tion gotten out on account of the assas-
sination of President Lincoln which oc-
curred the night before. The column
rules are all turned upside down and it
presents a very mournful appe:rance.
The copy is worth preserving.
——At the recent meeting of the Na-
tional Grange at Atlanta, Georgia, Hon.
Leanord Rhone of this county was re-
elected to the position of chairman of the
National Executive committee on the
first ballot, a matter of compliment to
our distinguished neighbor, ard of great
credit to the organization of which he is
such a prominent leader and earnest ad-
vocate. As long as the Grange keeps
men like Mr. Rhone at its head, it inter-
ests will be in safe hands.
——On Tuesday morning last Mrs.
George A. Bayard, of North Spring
street, received the sad intelligence of
the death of heronly brother Mr. Fletch-
er Johnson, which occurred in Santa
Rosa, Cal., on Wednesday, Nov. 19th.
Mr. Johnson was 45 years of age and
leavas a wife and one child who reside in
Canton, Ohio. Many years ago he was
employed by Mr. John Leib as a book-
keeper at his planing mill in this
place.
A large Ireight and passenger
wreck occurred about five miles east of
Tvrone on last Monday morning. It was
caused by thebre king of the freight train
and when the engineer noticed the sig-
nal to stop he was on a down grade,
The hind part of the train crashed into
the front section and about ten cars
were piled on each other. A passenger
train came rushing around the bend
and before it could be signaled ploughed
into the debris of the freight wreck.
Fortunately no one was hurt except the
engineer of the freight train and his in-
juries were but. slight. A ear loaded
with barreled whisky proved quite a bo-
nanza for the Italians who flocked about
the wreck like flies on a sugar barrel.
A VERY SuccessFUL BarLr.—On
Wdnesday Thanksgiving Eve, the
Undine Hose Co. of this place gave its
third annual ball in the armory ot
Co. B, 5th Reg. It was the most suec-
cassful one of the delightful dances
which the fire laddies have, as yet, had.
The music was first class and the floor
being in an excellent condition all
found it enjoyable, indeed, waltzing to
the Terpsichorean strains of the orches-
tra. One of the nice features of the
dance and a point which, probably, add-
ed more to its success than any other,
was the exclusion of all impr oper char-
acters from the ball room. Thisaction on
the part of the committee was right and
will prove a great benefit to their future
entertainments. We congratulate you,
boys, on the splendid manner in which
you conducted the ball.
REMARKABLE Escare.—The Renovo
News of Monday recorded the following:
“John McEachron, a boy aged about
five years, had an experience with fire
yesterday afternoon, near his home on
Drury’s Run, which might have proved
more serious. A number of boys had
built a fire in the field below the rail-
road as a matter of fun, and after it had
burnt for some time the little fellow
tried to extinguish it with his cap. The
fire burned up and ignited his clothes
and in a moment he was enveloped in
flames. Several of the boys, who were
¢onsiderable older than the McEachron
© .ild, picked him up and carried him to
apamp a few yards distant, under
which they placed him and thus put
out the fire. The boy’s clothes were
burned nearly off of him, and his hair
was burned close to the head. He was
badly burned about the body also, but
sustained no serious injury internally,
and will soon recover. It was a most
remarkable escape from death and the
in Benner township, has been sold to!
incident should be a warning to boys
who have a desire to amuse themselves
with fire,
they are about to undertake will be just
the week of Dec. 15th to 19th inclusive, |

A HIGHLY SATISFACTORY ENGAGE-
MENT.—The Waite Comedy Co., which
closed a week's engagement at Garman’s
new Opera House on Saturday evening
lust,gave a series of the most satisfactory |
performances that Bellefonters have |
ever had the opportunity of witne-sing. |
The Company, claiming only superior- |
ity among the ‘‘week stand’ or so-called
‘popular price’’shows,far surpassed most
ofthe high priced combinations that have
appeared here. Miss Catharine Crego
the leading lady captured the audience
by her faithful and true characteriza-
tion of the parts she took. Albert Clay-
ton is the comedian of the company and
a first class one he is too ; whether in
the role of negro, Irishman or Jew his
every appearance was the signal for pro-
longed applause. Jas. R. Waite needs
no commendation for the fine display of
his profession. One of the most attract-
ive features of the entertainment was
the exceptionaly fine ochestra which
they carried. Its performances were
said, by our critics, to have been the
best that have ever been rendered in an
Opera House in our city. The harp
solos by Miss Georgie Dean Spalding
being encored many times. As a whole
Mr. Waite’s company is made up of
ladies and gentlemen who are artists of
ability and who, during their siay in
Bellefonte conducted themselves with
such propriety asto call forth much
praise from our people. They made
hosts of*friends while here who will be
glad to welcome a return engagement.
Their show is highly satisfactory in
every respect and we feel like reccom-
mending it to the public as worthy of
liberal patronage.
Y M. C. As 20th ANNIVERSARY.
--On Sunday evening last the Young
Men’s Christian Association of this place
had its 20th anniversary in the Presby-
terian church. The services were made
specially interesting by the presence of
State Secretary Charles Hulburt,of Pitts-
burg, who spoke at length on the good
of the association work and its probable
growth. Mr. Hulburt is a pleasant,
easy talker whose success is in the sim-
plicity of his language and his remarks
were much enjoyed by those present.
Mr. James R. Hughes, past President
of the association made the opening ad-
dre's and outlined the work of the past
year. His statistics were a surprise to
many as it has generally been supposed
that the association had fallen beuind in
its work this year A number of sacred
solos added much to the attractiveness
of the meeting. The A lian Orchestra
furnished the music fr the songs. Asa
whole the meeting was a grand success
and it had the effect of putting a new
impetus into the work for the coming
year. Wesincerely hope that the good
work will continue.
A SPLENDID SERIAL.—In the issue of
November 23d was begun in Pennsyl-
vania Grit, ‘Faraway Moses’ '’ new

MR. MATT MORGAN:
My Dear Sir—Your favor of January

LPR LSE |
Port Matilda Jottings.
A pleasant birthday surprise party was given
Mr. James Ardery of Martha, this county, on
last Saturday, Nov. 22, 1800. It was a genuine
surprise to Mr. Ardery who was found on'ad’s-
tant part of his farm where he had gone to
cut timber. The large number of visitors had
a very enjoyable time together, and when the
dinner hour drew near were taken to the din-
ing hall where a fine collation was served.
Mrs. Ardery and daugnters had prepared the
toothsome viands and those who were fortun-—
ate enough to be present and taste thereof
were loud in taeir praises. After dinner the
party assembled in the sitting-room and Major
John Stewart made a most appropriate and
wall chosen address. W. G. Morrison followed
and made the presentation of the many pres-
ents brought as souvenirs of the occasion.
We regret that we do not have a list of the
various articles presented, with n-mes of do-
nors, but there were books, caps,slippers,neck-
ties, suspenders, handkerchiefs, stockings,
&e.,and ag sale bills say “articles too numerous
to mention,” but all of practical value,
Amongst those present were the following:
His brother George Ardery and lady, Mrs,
Auna Ardery and children, R. D. Ardery &
lady, E. E. Ardery and lady, Grant Ardery,
Eva Ardery, Alice Ardery, Mrs. Lizzie Read
and husband; grandchildran; Gray Ardety,
Russell Ardery, Ernest Ardery, Ellis Ardery
Howard Ardery, Lela Ardery, Lida Read. Also

Wilson Williams and lady, H. H. Osman and
lady, Samuel Gingery and lady, Major J. N
Stewart, George Farnsler, Lewis Seigfritz,
Newton Weaver and lady, Jonathan Riggle-
man, Mrs. Lizzie Stewart, Mrs. Abadnego
Williams, David Gingery , Mrs. Sadie Melcher,
Mrs. Hannah Gingery, Mrs. Rachel Gingery,
Mrs. Sarah Reside, Mrs. Nancy Ebberts, and
Misses Lizzie Miles, Maggie Wagner. Rosa
Gingery and Minnie Williams. Mr. Ardery
on the next day Sunday completed his sixty-
sixth year and we hope he may live to enjoy
many such birthday celebrations.
Mr. Henry Gates, of near Port Matilda,could
not at all understand why his family so stren-
unusly objected to his butchering on Tuesday,
Nov. 18,and he had eompleted all arrange-
ments and was almost ready to begin the
work alone in desperation af the seeming dis-
obedience of his usually obedient children,
when near sixty of his relatives and friends
drove up, and it dawned upon him that this
was his seventieth birthday anniversary and
it was proposed to fitly celebrate fit. He
yielded gracefully and the party passed a very
pleasant time at his residence. And the ‘‘vic-
tuals,” well yon ought to have been there. The
tabies literally groaned under their weight an d
literally so did David J. after he had tasted
and tasted of the turkeys, chickens, ducks
&c., till he could eat n, more. Ah, yes, Dave .
your old appetite for Bald Eagle “grub” re-
turns when you come to the “festive board,”
don’t it? The presents were many and very
appropriate. Among-t those present were no-
ticed : a brother, David Gates, Sr. of Half Moon,
three sisters, Mrs. Wm. Harpster and son .
Mrs. Chas. Mliler and husband and Mrs,
Emanuel Sunday and husband ; the following
children, David J. Gates and family, of Half
Moon ; George Gate and family, Wm. Gates,
