—A notable feature of Tuesday

urday morning and his seven year old
son perished in the flames, Mr, Bassett
being an engineer on the Beech Creek
road was out on his run at the time and
his family was alone when the fire broke
out. Itissupposed that the Little fel-
low became bewildered and wandered
into the part of the house ;where the fire
was raging instead of making his escape
with the rest. ]
——On the first morning of the new
year the soul of Mr. A. W. Russell, of
Unionville, took its flight to realms of
death and left a sorrowing family and a
saddened community. He was the fath-
er of Dr. Russell and died at the home
of his daughter Mrs. T. E. Griest. Hav-
ing passed the 83rd milestone, his time
had come,and with the consciousness of
a well spent life he breathed his last in
peace. Funeral services were held on
Sunday morning.
——We call the attention of our
readers to an advertisement, of two Jer-
sey cows and a bull for sale,elsewhere in
this paper. It you desire to purchase
two thoroughbred cows, both of which
have just been fresh, or a full blooded
Jersey bull this is your opportunity,
The fact that they were bred at the
celebrated “Donegal” {stock farms of
Simon Cameron is enough guarantee of
their blood and if you desire to improve
your stock you cannot do a more profita-
ble thing than to introduce the jerseys,
——Prof. Thos. F. Hunt, who for the
past year has occupied the chair of agri-
culture in the faculty of the Pennsylva-
nia State College, has accepted a call
from the Ohio State University to a
professorship in that institution and, on
the 1st, departed for his new field of
labor. "While connected with the State
Colleg>» Prof. Hunt proved himself to
be a man of marked ability and a thor"
ough and able instructor. His lectures
on agricultural subjects were said to have
been exceptionally meritorious and in
securing his services the Ohio Universi-
ty is certainly to be congratulated.

HaroLD R. HARRIS. —
“Shalt I have naught that is fair ? saith he,
Have naught but the bearded grain ?
Though the breath of tnese flowers is sweet
to me
I will give them all back! again.”
And when God sends the death angel
to cut the sweet flowers they are not
left by the wayside to wither and fade;
but are taken into ‘‘a mansion” to glad-
den with their brightness and beautify
with their presence. Harold's life was
short—only fifteen years; however he
taught many blessed lessons in that
time with his sweet, sunny disposition.
He was always a delicate child and
had to be carefully nurtured, but that
did not spoil him; on the contrary it
served to make him sympathetic and
patient, ever ready to do a kindness for
some one or some thing. He was Mr.
and Mrs. John P. Harris’ youngest
child and although his death was unex-
pected it was not sudden. Some weeks
ago symptoms of Bright's disease were
noticed, but not uatil last Friday was
he obliged to give up his bicycle and
cut door life. Friday he was very sick
and Saturday noon after suffering much
his heart found rest-—‘‘rest from flesh-
pain and rest from sin peril.” “He be-
ing dead will yet speak to the loving
friends and companions who will ever
be better for his life.”
Mayor AusTIN CURTIN PROMOTED.
—We are pleased to learn that Major
Austin Curtin, of Curtin’s Works, bas
been promoted from his position as com-
missary of the Second Brigade N. G. P.
to the same position on the division staff
and will take rank asa lieutenant colo-
nel. General order, No. 2, which au-
thorized the appointment was issued,
from division headquarters, during the
early part of the week and the Major's
promotion is necessarily an assured
fact.
In recognition of his valuable services
this appointment comes as a fitting tri-
bute and is received with the utmost
satisfaction in the ranks of the guard.
Major Curtin is an old veteran, having
served in the late war from 1861 to Oc-
tober 20, 1864, when he was mustered
out. His war record begins as captain
Company D. Forty-fifth Pennsylvania
Volunteers, his commission bearing
date of August 15th, 1861; he served on
various brigades, division and corps
staffs, and rose to the rank of lieutenant
colonel. He was appointed commissary
of the Second Brigade, N. G. P., May
26, 1884. and reappointed March 15,
1887. He succeeds Lieutenant Colonel
Edward W. Patton, of Philadelphia,
who has filled the position since Decem-
ber 26, 1888.
AN EXPLANATION.— When the com-
missioners statement was published, last
February, it showed on its face an
amount due the out going Treasurer,
Mr. Goss, of $7,663.09. Many of those
who read the statement, took it|Zthat
this amont was owing Mr. Goss °person-
ally. We have been requested to cor-
rect this false impression, by stating
that the $7,668.09 referred to was money
paid into the county Treasury for un-
seated land tax, and belonged properly
to the different townships, for road,
school and poor purposes. Without
any authority, the old board of commis-
sioners had appropriated it to county
purposes, leaving the county Zindebt-
ed to that extent to the different town-
ships to which this money belonged:
In the statement it was published! as
due Mr. Goss as Treasurer in place of
the townships to which it properly be-
longed.
A First Crass! ConcerT.—The
Dickinson College Glee and Banjo clubs
gave a most delightful concert in Gar-
man’s Opera House, on Tuesday even-
ing last. The collegians appeared un-
der the patronage of the Ladies’ Aid
Society of the M, E. church and more
than satisfied a small, though highly
appreciative, audience. The glees were
all well taken and the work of the ban-
joclub simply carried the house by
‘storm. Everything passed off with a
charm that was refreshing and the enter-
tainment satisfied even the most critical.
Among the numbers especially meritor-
ious were “The Mil)’ and “Simple Si-
mon’’ both glees, a banjo medley and
Mr. Pettinos’ trick banjo solo: If the
boys should ever return to Bellefonte
we bespeak them a crowded® house.
THE Bopy EXHUMED.—On account
of certain mysterious surroundings at-
tending the death of George Weaver's
infant child, near Tusseyville, on the
Sunday after Christmas, Didt. Attor-
ney Meyer felt justified in having its
body exhumed and a post mortem held,
On Wednesday "Squire J. 8, Houseman,
of Tusseyville,and Dr, Charles Emerick,
of Centre Hall, carried out his instruc~
tions, but as yet have not reported the
result of their work. Rumors were
afloat that Weaver,in a fit of anger,
provoked by the baby’s incessant crying
struck it a blow which resulted in its
death.
———An unoccupied house, in Oole-
ville,owned by Isaac Dawson was burn-
ed on Wednesday evening,'shortly be-
tore nine o'clock. The building was
totally destroyed and the loss will be
about $1,000, on which there is a small
insurance.

——D. 8. Rumberger, frieght agent |
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., at
Philipsburg, died at that place on Sun-
day night.
——A man named Ertle, employed
in the fifth wheel factory, at Howard,
was caught in a belt, on Tuesday, and
had both jaw bones dislocated. A ser-
ious plight indeed.
——The Presbyterian church at
Milesburg will be dedicated next Sun-
day afternoon, at 2.30 o'clock. Rev,
W. O. Wright, assisted by others, will
conduct the services,
——Next week we will publish full
programmes of the Boalsburg, Millheim
and Howard Farmer’s Institutes. They
will be held at Millheim Feb. 1st and
2nd; Boalsburg, Feb. 3rd and 4th and
Howard, Feb. 5th and 6th.
——Philipsburg’s Competitive Musi-
cal contest, on New Year's, was a howl-
ing success—with the accent on the
howl—and the good people of that town
succeeded in awarding all the prizes to
themselves. There's nothing like en-
couraging home talent.
——Beginning last Monday night all
Tyrone stores, with the exception of
four, decided to close at eight o’clock in
theevening. The eight o'clock custom
has long been in vogue here and gives
general satisfaction especially to clerks
who begin work at half past six or
seven in the morning and have but two
hours off, for meals, during the day.
Among the proposed improve-
ments which the Presbyterian church,in
this place, will soon undergo are a com-
stitution of chairs for the old berches
and a semi-circular seating, with the pul-
pit in the corner of the building and al-
most on the level with the floor, A
pipe organ and choir box will then be
placed ir. the pulpit recess and the whole
will completely change the appearance
of the interior,as well as to greatly beau-
tify it,
—~—A most delightful leap year party
took placa at the residence of Joseph L.
Neff,near Mt. Eagle, on new year’s even-
ing, in which were Mr. Fred Leathers
and lady; Mr. Harry Leathers and
lady; Mr. Earnest Wagner and lady ;
Mr. Perry Wagner and lady; Mr. Cas-
tleberry and lady; Mr. J. Foresman
and lady ; Mr. Will Jacobs and lady;
Mr. John Zimmerman and lady; Mr. J.
Toner and lady; Mr. Harry Doughman
and lady ; Mr. Geo. Bridge and lady,
and the family of Mr. Neff participated.
Most excellent music was furnished by
Miss Carrie Neff. A sumptuous supper
was served, and after a delightful even-
ing spent in ammusements and social
intercourse, the party broke up in the
“we small hours” of the night, hop-
ing for many returns of the pleasant
gathering.
A Sap AccrpeNT.—One of the oldest
friends whom the WATCHMAN claims
met with an accident,on Monday of last
week, which will probably result in his
death. When we learned that old Isaac
Hampton, known popularly with us as
“Daddy,” had fallen down the stairs of
his daughter’s home, breaking both legs
and an arm we were extremely sorry,
For years it has been the custom of old
Mr. Hampton to drop into this office
several times a week and in his simple
way give us words of cheer and advice.
His visits were always welcome and
this misfortune, which has befallen him
at such an advanced age, will prove a
serious thing. Few men at old Isaac’s
age have the sturdiness and endurance
which characterized his life: Past
eighty he worked far better than many
younger men. His favorite occupation
was wood chopping and before the acci-
dent befell him he could be seen, every
day, pegging away at the wood pile at
McCalmont and Co.’s lime kilns. It is
the WATCHMAN’s sincere hope that his
recovery may be speedy and complete,
Counci. MEETING. — On Monday
evening council meet 1n its camber to
transact the business brought up for its
consideration and in president Potter's
absence Wm. T. Hillibish was chosen
chairman protem.—Mr. Morgan asked
exoneration of taxes on his Bishop street
property. The members of the Undine
Hose Co,,submitted their constitution for
approval and requested council to recov-
er a number of uniforms which had not
been returned. ;The matter was referred
to proper committee. A numerously
signed petition for a board-walk along
Potter street was referred to the street
committee and after an investigation
and survey of borough line along prop-
erty of S. H. Deihl, on Willoughbank
street, the committee was instructed to
have Mr. Deihl move his fence off the
borough property, The request of
the citizens of the North ward for an
extra policeman was referred to the fire
and police committee and the request of
Messrs Morgan and Wyland for exonera-
tion of taxes was referred to the finance
committee, whose chairman reported a
balance of $6,863,16 due the treasurer.
The water committee reported that one
of the engineers at the Water Works
had been laid off and the other’s wages
increased to $2,75 per day. A number
of minor bills were acted upon and the
meeting adjourned.
