sr EEE ier AxorHER GUILESS GRANGER SWIN- pLED.—-Nicholas Lewis, one of Sinking Valley’s prosperous farmers, had an expensive experience with a slick light- ning rod agent yesterday. On Wednes- day twosmonth-tongued travelers stop- ped at Mr. Lewis’ house and entered with him into a contract by which they as representatives of the ¢‘National Cop- per Tube Co,” were to furnish lightning rods for his dwelling house. They agreed to furnish 75 feet free of charge and estimated the total cost of the work to be $6, but the contract was slyly worked “65 cents per foot for as much as it takes.” Yesterday another oily individual ap- peared, and astounded Mr. Lewis by demanding edvance payment by note of $200, which he said would be the total cost of putting up the rods. Mr. Lewis "naturally demurred and the persistent agent then suggested a compromise by which Mr. Lewis should give him $75 and get no rods at all. By dint of smooth talking he finally succeeded in obtaining from the bewildered farmer $25 in cash and a note for $45. Satisfied with his work, the agent then de- parted. Mr. Lewis came to town to-day and notified the Tyrone and Altoona banis not to accept the note. With the pub- licity gained by publication of the fraud in the” Blair county newspapers, itis hoped that no trouble will be occasioned by the making of the note.—Tyrone Herald, A Brute Wao SnovLp Be HuNTED Ur axp Puxisuep.—The Clearfield Ruftsman publishes the following case of cruel treatment of a horse: Some persons coming toward Clear- field from Clearfield creck on Monday morning, discovered a horse and bugey some few rods from the public road in the woods, on this side of Robert W rig - ley’s, in Lawrence township. The horse was dead, but his lifeless form was still hitched to the bugov, which was a fine new covered rig with all equipments. After considerable inquiry it was learned that the rig belonged to Alex. Dougan, liveryman at Woodland, who it seemed had hired it on Sunday evening to one George Wisor, with the distinct under- standing that it was only to be driven one mile and a half, as the horse was tired, and Mr. Dougan was very reluc- tant about his going even the short 2is- tance mentioned. It is supposed that he was driven until he could not go further, when he was pulled off the road and allowed to die. Wisor is awong the missing at this writing. Here is a case for Comstock’s agent in Clearfield that should be. punished, if the offender can be captured. : Dear oF GODFREY Barsor.--The people of Halfmoon township, this | county, are somewhat shocked over the very sudden death of Mr. Godfrey Bais- or, which occurred there Monday even- ing about 8.300’clock. The aged gen- tleman was standing on the porch watching to see the cows come home when he suddenly fell over and in less than fifteen minutes was dead. Mr. Baisor was 79 years, 6 months and 8 days old. He leaves an invalid wife and four children, George, Catherine, Elizabeth and Leah, to mourn their loss. He has for many years been a consistent member of the Lutheran church. The remains were interred at the Lutheran” church at Centre line on ‘Wednesday morning. ——Simon P. Wolf, for some years | residing near Greenburr,Clinton county, as a farmer, died at the residence of his brother John, near Rebersburg, on the 25th ult., aged about 47 years. Since the death of his wife about a year ago his health failed rapidly, in consequence of which he abandoned farming and went to live with his brother. ——Rev. Miles O. Noll, pastor of the Bellefonte Reformed church,was married on Thusday of last week to Miss Cath- erine Folmer, of Milton, Rev. J. Irvin Hendricks, of the latter place, perform- ing the ceremony. Mr. Noll brought his bride to this place on Monday, and was given a handsome reception on the the evening of that day at the residence of C. M. Bower, Esq.

With tiie ending of this week most of sur farmers will have commenced grain cutting and some will have finished. The crop is a good one and of excellent quality.

Nideigh was com" pleted last Friday on what ig known as part of the Brett estate. Men were plenty and every mortice and tenant was exact. This is anoth- er plume on the hats of Messrs. Krebs and Dunlap as barn carpenters, J. Shanon MeCor- mick lent a helping hand as the veteran bara raiser of this section of the county, swellin his list to one hundred and six barns to which he gave his assistance. mn ms .Some of the boys who attended and had some fun at the expense of the Baileyville fes- tival last Saturday evening, were later on tak. en charge of by high constable Meyers. The law was meted out to them very sparingly by Justice Miller, by imposing a fine and costs. From this some of our fown boys might learn a lesson. Boys, beware, and don’t just for fun annoy people by swearing, boxing, quareling and using the vilest slang on the streets. Fo This week we sadly note the death of Mrs. Felix Dale,at her home,on the 26th inst., from a paralytic shock received some ten days pre- vious. The deceased lady had been working in the yard, but had sat down, partly to rest and do some needle work, when it was noticed that her head was leaning: She was asked what was the matter, and replied, “not an: thing,” but suddenly her head fell forward. Medical aid was hastily summoned. She re covered sufficiently to recognize her friends and converse with them until the last, when death ended the sad scene, which was doubly soas her husband was confined to his bed by her side unable to move. The deceased was a most amiable lady, loved and respected by all She had a kind word and a smile for evexy one, and none more than the writer knew the depth of her kind benevolent nature. Her old friend, Dr. Hammill, who knew her from infancy, paid a high tribute at {her burial on Sunday p. m, to one who had lived and died a christian. The remains were interred at the Branch cemetery. Her nephews, Mr. David and Elmer Campbell, Calvin, Andrew and Clayton Struble and Jack Dale, Esq., acted as pall bearers. The deceased was the youngest sister of ex-Treasurer, J. B. Mitchell, Jas H Mitehell and Mrs. C. H. Struble, and was born on os old Mitchell homestead near this town in 1834. rer ——— ——It is with much pleasure that we ac- knowledge our indebtedness to H. J.

We consider’ ourselves under many obli- gations to you for the man- ner in which you have stood by us. But you deserve ‘more than thanks, and you shall have it. We intend to merit, your patronage now more than ever. Moneyis scarce—we know it; but clothing is plenty and we intend to put it within reach of the very poorest. If you want a suit for your. self, we have everything that is in the market. We can give you those cheap shod- dy goods that you see ad- vertised for $3 and ¢4 per suit. But that is not the class of goods we avant to sell you. We want to sell you strictly honest goods, goods that will give you ser- vice, that you will be satis- fied with, and make you customers of ours for ever. Now, then, we will sell you a suit for yourself that is all wool for $7. And when we say @// wool we mean it. For your boy, if he is within the age of 14 to 18, $5.50 will get him the same kind of a suit. If he is within the age of 4 and 14, and wears short pants, $3.50 is all that is needed. These goods are all worth a great deal more money than we ask for them, but we have got more than we need. Some are single suits, odds and ends, a few of them from last season—but they are all the greatest values for the money that you have ever seen, and you must see them to get an idea how cheap they are. Thanking you again for past favors, and hoping that for your interests, as well as ours, you will give us a call and satisfy yourself that there is no place in Central Pennsylvania where you can buy clothing cheaper than from us. | Remain, Respectfully, M.
