OF aCer
Tar Fuoop Swept Bripars.—Of
eoursa all of us who live in the part of
Pennsylvania through which the disas-
trous flood of June, 1839, swept are in
favor of the bill introduced in the Penn- |
to appropriate
sylvania Legislature
enough of the State’s money to cover the
amount spent by each county in the re-
construction of the bridges washed away
by the flood.” It is human nature. But
it is a pleasure to note the fact that be-
yond the flood swept district there is no
opposition to tue proposed legislation.
On the contrary the press and the people
wherever heard from seem to think that
il i3 the proper thing for the State to do.
Everyone seems to recognize the fact
that where bridges were swept away the
individuals lost heavily, and to recover
private losses they will be kept busy
enough without the affliction of increas-
ed taxes to meet the enormous bridge
expenses, Our saying that the measure
is a just one and should have the sup-
port of every member of the Legislature
might sensibly be taken as an interested
and partisan view of the bill, but the
press and people beyond the flooded dis-
tricts are coming forward now as gener-
ously as they came after the flo~d, and
their voices are for the appropriation to
help the afflicted counties recover from
the great flood losses.
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED.-The con-
troversy between the miners and op-
erators of the Clearfield coal region con-
cerning the demanded advance in wag-
es has not yet been settled, but has been
suspended for further consideration,
at the meeting at Clearfield last week
at which both sides were represented.
On the side of the operators it was con-
tended that with the present state of the
market and in the face of the contracts
taken a year ago it was impossible to
conceded to the demands of the miners.
The latter thereupon agreed to take no
further action until the first day of next
May when the contracts now filled will
have terminated, and the present plea
of the operators will have lost its
force. The men will therefore continue
their work during the balance of the
winter and the early part of the spring,
and it is hoped that in the interval the
differences, real and imaginary, will be
satisfactorily adjusted.
Prorosep BAND AssocratioN.-—We
have received a communication from a
committee appointed by the three bands
of Renova, Clinton county, Pa., in
which is proposed an organization of
the bands of Lycoming, Centre, Clinton,
Cameron, Clearfield and Elk counties.
A meeting has been called for Renova,
on February, 25th, and all bands in
the above counties are requested to send
one or two delegates. At this meeting
a permanent organization will be affect-
ed and business transacted which will
be of importance to all musical organiza-
tions within the district.” The object of
the association is to promote the indi-
vidual interests of the bands represent-
ed, through the combined efforts of the
whole, and for mutual instruction. All
bands are requested to correspond with
M. Doyle Marks, acting Sec. of the or-
ganization, at Renova, Pa.
WEDDING BELLS IN NITTANY VAL-
LEY.—On Tuesday evening of last week
there was a pleasant assemblage of
guests at the residence of Mrs. J. W.
MeClintie, of Cadar Run, Clinton coun-
ty, to witness the marriage of her
daughter Armina to Mr. W. L. Greno-
ble, of Zion, Centre county. Rev. M.

presence of about sixty guests. The
bridesmaids were Miss Bessie Wasson,

Miss Alice Grenoble, sister of the groom.
The groomsmen were Messrs G. B. and
E. E. McClintie, twin brothers of the
bride. After the ceremony all present
repaired to the dining room where sup-
per was served. The wedding was fol-
lowed by the usual bridal trip.
AN U~rForTUNATE FUNERAL. —At
the funeral of Mrs. Henzie at Chatham's
Run on Sunday, the undertaker, John

en and his place was taken by another
person. It is also reported that in low-
ering the coflin into the grave one of
the straps broke or slipped in some way,
by which accident the casket was pre-
cipitated to the bottom. The occasion
seems to have been one of misfortune all
around.--Lock Haven Democrat.

. Honor?
——W. R. Smith, esq., of Pine Grove
i Mills, was one of the crowd thatre-
presented this county at Governor Pat-

safe keeping.
——W. IL. Fleming has sold his tail-
oring establishment in this place to Mr.

ment. We wish both parties unbound-
ed success in their new ventures.
——Wm E.- Gheen’s cash grocery is
nicely fixed up in his new quarters next
door to this office. Ed. Powers is back

dry goods store down here and this end
will be fixed.
——A well known lumberman of
Williamsport predicts that in four years
there will not be encugh logs rum into
that city to pag for the hanging of the
boom. He says that the pine in this
country is about exhausted and that
whatever timber is to b> cut will be
done by portable mills on the tracts
worked.
The butchers of Osceola, Philips-
burg, Morrisdale, Kylertown, Munson’s
Mill and Peale, held a meeting at Phil-
ipsburg on Thursday night and organized

almost ruin some of them.
——The marriage of Miss Carrie M.

Last Saturday night Villa, a two
year and a half old child of Mrs. Sam-
uel Musser, formerly of Bellefonte, but
now a resident of Altoona, died at the
residence of Mr. Joel Johnson, of
whooping cough. Mrs. Musser came
here some time ago to visit her parents
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and was taken
with a very serious attack of illness,
from which she recovered. The death
of her child is a great affliction in which
she has the sympathy of her friends.
——On Tuesday morning we received
a communication, which] had been
mailed at Hublersburg Post Office, but
as no name was signed to the article we
could not publish it. We might say
right here that all communcations|must
be accompanied by the full name of the
writer and then if he or she doesjnot
want the article published over a full
name, we will withold it, We must
know to whom an article can be as
cribed before we will publish it.
——On Wednesday afternoon as one
of Bellefonte’s young business women
was driving to her work she found it
necessary to stop at a stationery store,
whereupon a gay young knight jumped
into the unhitched fairy gig and made
away with it. Upon his return the
whip was missing and of course the
young woman couldn’t drive without a
propeiler, so the boy is stuck $3 fora
ride round a square. The girl laughs
significantly when asked if she had a
whip in her cart before he started.
—— Mr. P. S. Burrell, proprietor of
the Clement House at Sunbury, and
manager of the Cameron House at Lew-
izburg, deserves the great popularity te
has attained as a landlord. He has the
qualities necessary for a successful ma: «
ager of a public house, and to them is to
be attributed the extensive patronage of
the two hotels which are under his
management. He is attentive as
to the wants of his guests, kind,
good natured and geatlemanly. Par-
ties who attended the funeral of Hon.
A. H. Dill, at Lewisburg, were the]reci-
pients of his hospitable attention, acd
greatly appreciated it.
——The amount of money that pass-
ed through County Treasurer
hands during his three years term of
office gives an idea of the financial re-
sources and expenditures of Centre
county. Of county funds he handled
$129,682 91, and in addition to this there
caine into his hands $51,253.54 of town-
ship funds for poor, road and school pur-
poses. Other sources of revenue brought
the following amounts into the treasury
under his charge: Liquor licenses,
$3,400 ; mercantile licenses, $5,886.15;
breweries and distilleries, $1000 ; hl-
liard and pool tables, $910; peddlers,
$200. From these various sources the
total amount that came into his hands
I was $193,381.59, all of which was fuith-
[ fully applied to its lawfal purpose and
| correctly accounted for,

FarMERS’ INSTITUTE AT PINE GROVE ers of Ferguson twp.and they always
MiLrs.—The Institute, held by the
weleome him warmly, but it appears
State Agricultural Board,at Pins Grove that some old maids in the meeting
Mills, on Monday and Tuesday, the |
19th and 20th of this month, wasa |
gathering of which the people of that
vicinity have reason to be proud. An
able body of instructors and a large and |
highly entertained number of atten-
dants at every session, were the re-
quisites that made up an Institute at
which the instruction received was
almost invaluable and the entertain-
ment highly beneficial to the farmers of
that district.
The Academy Hall was beautifully
decorated for the occason, the artistic
effects having been produced by the
Ladies’ Committee, and at 10 c’clock on
Monday morning, when the speakers,
headed by Hon. Jno. A. Woodward,
made their appearance, the old Hall
curtainly presented a very attractive
spectacle. 'W. H. Fry, chairman of the
Local Committee on programme, called
the meeting to order and Mr. Woodward
was immediately chosen as permanent
chairman. The new presiding officer
took the chair and made a neat little
talk on the responsiblity of presiding
over an assemblage in which the ‘bone,
muscle andntelliecct of our farmer
friends” were so largely represented.
On montion Wm. E. Meek, J. B.
Mitchell and A. J. Tate were elected
Vice Presidents, and W. H. Fry, Sec-
retary.
Rev. A. L. Miller made the opening
prayer. Rev. C. T. Aikens delivered
the address of welcome. The reverend
gentleman in his earnest and pleasant
style bade and made everbody feel wel-
come and share the hospitality of the
town during the Institute meeting. The
response was made in a few well chosen
words by R. S. Searle, member from
Susquehanna county. The rest of the
morning session was taken up by J. K.
Murry, member from Mbatour county,
who delivered a most able and instruc-
tive lecture on “Systematic Farming. ’
He urged the necessity of good educa-
tion and enforced his ideas with a pleas-
ing eloquence.
The afternoon session was opened by
a chorus and then Dr. Wm. Frear, Prof.
Agr. Chemistry and Vice Director of
the Exp. Station at the Penna. State
on “Commercial Fertilizers,” and being
an experimenter in all grades of fertiliz-
ing and thorouzhly acquainted with the
needs of Centre county soil, from fre-
quent experimental observations, his
remarks were appreciated. Two spicy
little talks on the way farmers should
live and what should be their aim were
then heard from R.S. Searle, member
from Susquehannah county,and Mrs. M.
A. Miller, representing the Centre
Grange. Rev. Geo. Elliott then told the
people the kind of a farmer he would
like to be, and the afternoon session was
over.
The crowded session of the evening
was opened by Rev. A. 8, Miller with
an earnest exhortation, “Boys don’t
leave the Farm,” in which he portrayed
the life of a husbandman as the
most enviable of lives. “Economy as ap-
plied to farming” was toe theme dis-
coursed upon by A. P. Young, of
Columbia county. Mr. Young is not a
believer in luck as a producer, but
thinks if one would put a p before it
and then use the word as a motto, a
large and well paying harvest would be
garnered. The next speaker was Ex.
Rep. and Grand Master of the State
Grange, Leonard Rhone, whose talk
was upon “Taxation asiteffects Farms,”
anl a very able effort it was. ‘Daties
and privileges of Township officers,” by
D. F. Fortney, from a legal stand point.
From this platform Dave made his mail-
en speech and very naturally too he
reminded his hearers of the many associa-
tions of his school boy days together
with his associates, when President
Lincoln called for men and he was one
of the boys who left his Mary Jane and
Pine Grove Mills to answer to Uncle
Sam’s roll call.
The principal officers to whom he
addressed his remarks were the Supervis-
ors of roads and the District School
Board, all the members of which should
here been present. In the strongest
language he set forth,in detail, the
duties of the various township officers.
His speech, though it struck sore points
in many instances, was one of the treats
of the Institute. The session was closed
with“the old Yellow Pumpkin,”a funny
little song, sung in a funny little way
by Mr. A. C. Sisson, and the audience
was dismissed, bearing with them pleas-
ant thoughts of the first day’s work in
agricultural education ta Pine Grove
Mills.
On Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock
the work was continued, and it seemed,
from all appearances, that people must
nave been gathering all the night be-
fore to hear Col. Wm. Shortlidge, of
Bellefonte, Pres. of the Centre county
Agr. Society, talk on the “Growing and
Making of Hay.” The Col. is a pleas-
ant talker and caught his audience from
the starts with the practicability of bis
statements on hay farming. ¢Itis and
can bs made the most profitable crop
of the farm,” said he, “and good hay is
always in demand at good prices.” Mr.
Shortlidge is a great triend of the farm-
wanted to interrupt his address and
talk themseives on “Wuman’s rights.’
The chairman, however, not recognizing
their rights, one of their number im-
mediately began to wreak vengeance
by “spooning” a helpless old bachelor,
who, as fate would have, was sitting
near.
Prof. Geo. C. Butz, Ass. Prof. of
Horticulture at the Penna. State College,
followed with an interesting talk on
“Among our Fruits.” And A. C. Sis-
son, of Lackawanna county, continued
the line with “Small fruits, from plant-
ing to eating,’ a subject that in every
way was well handled and expounded.
Mr. Sisson being a practical fruit raiser,
his remarks had the riag of assurance
that adds so much to their acceptance as
facts. Adjournment until 3 o’clock.
Promptly Chairman Woodward call-
ed the house to order for the afternoon
session and the choir opened with a pret-
ty rendition. Mr. J. F. Ailman, of
Juaiata county, lecturer of the State
Grange, addressed the meeting on the
“need of better educational facilities
within reach of farmers’ sons.” His
was a practical talk in which he urged
the adoption of the graded school sys-
tem in the country districts. The
theme was coutinued by Prof. Hunt and
Dr, Groff in very instructive talks,
Joel A. Herr, member from Clinton
county, conciuded with Wastes on the
Farm,” a practical talk of interest to
every one.
The evening eession was taken up by
J. W. Carter, “How farmers’ sons ob-
tain an education ;’ Dr. G. G. Groff,
President of the State Board of Health,
“Causes of sickness on the farm ;”’ and
the chairman concluded the work of the
Institute with a breezy little speech, on
general principles. Every one laughed
and was happy. Not because the end
had come. Oh! no, for all regretted
that the end of so pleasant and instruc-
tive a meeting was so near at hand, and
were unanimous in declaring it to have
been the most enjoyable two days gatb-
ering that Pine Grove had ever had.
The chairman extended the hearty
thanks of the Board to the kind people
of the community who had been so hos-
His talk was | pitable in their manner, and then the
following resolutions were read and
adopted :
Resolved, That we highly appreciate
the value of this the first Farmers’ In-
s:itute held in our community, and ren-
der our thanks to the State Board of
Agriculture for having provided the
same, and hereby request the Legisla-
ture to increase the appropriation for
this purpose in order that Farmers’ In-
stitutes may be held in all parts of the
State. Be it furtber
Resolved, that we tender our most
hearty thanks to the choir for the very
elegant music rendered for the occasion.
Also to the District School Board for
the use of building for holding the In-
stitute.
Resolved, that we hereby request the
general assembly to so amend the dog
laws that they shall effect the destruc-
tion of useless animals and protect val-
uable ones, and more effectually pro-
vide for the payment of losses by the
distruction of sheep by dogs. Be it
further
Rasolved, to request the Legislature to
provide State aid for the building of
permanent roads in the several districts
of the State without creating an army of
State officials whose salaries would ab-
sorb the tunds thus appropriated.
WHEREAS, the present tax laws are
grossly unjust te the agricultural inter-
esis, therefore :
Resolved, that we demand of the State
Legislature such revision of the tax
laws as will require personal and cor-
porate property to contribute on an
equality with the real estate and farms
ot Pennsylvania.
The above are but extracts taken from
a most comprehensive report of the In-
stitute make by our staff correspond-
ent. We are sorry that want of space
prohibits the publication of his article
in its entirety.
Two WESTERN VISITORs.—Mrs. An-
na D. Roller, wife of Mr. J.s. Roller,
of Prairie Home, Ill., is visiting old
Centre county friends for a few weeks.
Mrs. Roller will be remember as a Miss
Dale, but has lived in the west for many
years, her husband having made a
complete success of business in their far
away home. She says she thinks it is the
nicest place in the world to live.
Strange to say, when sh: left her home,
only two weeks ago, there had been no
snow there and the roads were dusty,
but since arriving a letter from Mr. Rol-
ler informs her that they hal a slight
fall of snow, which soon disappeared
however. We wish her a pleasant visit
and a safe journey home.
Another westerner, who is spending a
few days with his brother, in this place,
is Thomas: Kirk, who has lived in Burr
Oak, Kansas, for quite a number of
years. At onetime he was interested
with his brother Dr. Miles Kirk, of this
place, in the drug business here, but not
liking the location he went west, where
every venture he made has been success-
ful. He returns to greet Centre county
friends as a physician of repute, a bank
director, and a blooded stock raiser, hav- |
ing gained quite an enviable position
since leaving here. The Doctor is ac-
companied by his little son, and their
stay with his brother on West Hig" st.
has been a very pleasant one.

DESTRUCTION OF A VALUABLE BARN.
——The mammoth bank barn belonging
to Mr. David Mease, living near Blue
Ball, was totally destroyed by fire at
about seven o'clock on last Saturday
evening. There was also about one
thousand bushels of grain of different
kinds lost, together with a lot of hay,
straw, farming implements, ete. We
have not learned the origin of the fire,
or whether there was any insurance on
the barn and contents, or not, but the
loss to Mr. Mease will be very heavy.
The reflection of the blaze could be dis-
tinctly seen at this place.— Philipsburg
