COMMENCEMENT AT THE COLLEGE.— In accordance with the alterations, re- cently made in the charter of the Penn- | sylvania State College, the time for Commencement has been changed. For | years the week of graduating exercises | has come about the latter part of June or the first few daysin July. This has always been a source of inconvenience to friends of the institution who desired attending the consummation of the year's work; because, in many in- stances, families had already gone on their summer excursions, or the weather was so hot that a week in a crowded college would be almost unbearable. These, and the fact that the college term at P. S. C. was longer than that at any other institution in the country, led to a change in the length of the col- lege year. The exercises, which are preparatory to the graduation of the class of ’92, will begin on Sunday, June 12th, with the Baccalaureate sermon, by Rev. S. D. McConnell, D. D., of Philadelphia. On Monday evening, June 13th, at 8. p. m., the Junior Oratorical contest will take place, and the program for Tuesday will be as follows : 8:30 a. m., annual meeting of the Alumni Associa- tion: 9:45, a. m., Artillery Salute; 10 a. m., meeting of the Trustees; 12 m., Alumni dinner; 2p. m., meeting of Delegates and Alumni to elect Trustees; 3 p. m. Exhibition Drill ; 8 p. m., An- nual address by Hon. 'W. TU. Hensel. Attorney General of Pennsylvania ; 9—11 p. m., Reception in the Armory by the Faculty. On Wednesday morning the class of '92 will say “farewell” to its alma mater and launch its frail cratt on the sea of hope. Hon. Wm. T. Harris, U. S. Commissioner of Education, will deliv- er the address. The Bellefonte Central R. R. will ar- range special trains to the College and sell excursion at all points along the line. Remember the change of time and also the shortening of the week. As heretofore graduation exercises have al- ways been held on Thursday morning, but hereafter they will be just one day earlier and the rest of the program necessarily brought one day earlier also. CouxciL IN SesstoN.—Council con- vened on Monday evening, with presi- dent Hillibish and members Potter, Dartt, Garman and Jamison present. The first business transacted was the hearing of reports of committees. Chair- Potter reported, on behalf of the Street committee that the annual cleaning up was well under way and advised that A. G. Morris’ offer of stones for piking, at 50cts. per gross ton, he accepted. Chair- man Williams of the Water committee reported the mains, through the town, badly in need of repair, also that much water is being wasted at the rail-road tank, below town. During the report of this committee a decree to shut the water off of Samuel Cherry, who lives on Methodist hill, until he pays his ar- rearage in tax was issued. A claim for $60,00 tax from the brick row owned by Spangler and Gephart, was put in a so- licitor’s hands for collection. In behalf of the Fire and Police com- mittee, Garman reported the condition of the Undine company’s’ hose to be very good while that of the Logan Steamer Co., was not fit to use. New uniforms were ordered for the police and it is to be hoped that when they are se- cured we will have officers that we need not be ashamed of. Blue is the right color for the suits, and council should impose a light fine on the officer who does not keep up a natty appearacce while on duty. A number of minor matters were considered and council ad- journed. A BRILLIANT ASSEMBLY.——On last Friday evening the Class of '92 of the Pennsylvania State College gave the last Assembly which it will conduct as undergraduates at that institution , and a most fitting farewell was it to the so- cial world in which the class has played a prominent a part ever since its entry into colleg~. Pleasant memories linger always with us, and ‘twas such a hope that prompted ’92 to give to Terpsi- chore the reign of that night. Surely the floors of the great Armory have nev- er been graced with more dainty feet than danced to the dreamy strains of Fiske’s orchestra and never has young manhood and young womanhood been more resplendent in the enjoyment of an evening’s pleasant assemblage. The Class had made the most elabor- ate preparations for the reception and entertainment of their guests and not a jar was noticed in the conduct of the evening. Everything was conducive to a perfect time, and it was had. A hun- dred couples carried home with them, that night, the kindest thoughts for ’92 and long years hence their last dance will be remembered as one of the tri- umphsin the social affairs at the College. Boroven FiNaNces.—The auditor's | report, which has just been published, shows the totel indebtedness of Belle- fonte to aggregate $144,340,01 divided as follows: Municipal government $102,840,83 ; Schocl $40,000 and Poor $1,500.13, H.

Brown, has been made chief statis- tician of the new census of Philadelphia’ manufactures. ——Dr. and Mrs. Coolidge, who with their children have been viziting grand pa McGinley’s and Mrs. Sylvester Ray left for their home in Scranton, Tuesday morning. ——There will be a meeting of the new Mountain League base-ball associa- tion, at Tyrone, to-day. Houtzdale will more than likely be admitted to take Altoona’s place. ——Mrs. I. P. McCreary, wife of as- sistant R. R. Supervisor, I. P. Mec- Creary, of Osceola, and a sister of Mrs. A. C. Mingle, of this place, died from heart trouble on last Saturday. ——A mong our many pleasant call- ers, during the past week was Matt Sav- age editor of the Clearfield Public Spirit, Mr. Savage has been attending [court and finds a few days rest from his editor- ial work quite pleasant indeed. ——Geo B. Goodlander, Esq., the veteran editor of the Clearfield Republi- can, one of the strongest and most relia- ble Democratic journals in the Common- wealth, spent the later part of last week trying the efficency of Bellefonte brac- ing air and pure water. ——The College ball team defeated the Dickinson College nine, on Friday afternoon, by the score of 15 to 9. The game was a miscrable exhibition of ball playing, though exciting because of the constant changing of the score. It took ten innings to decide it. ———1It takes just 53 tons of hay, 2 tons of straw, 220 bushels of oats, 220 pounds of beef, for the carnivorous ani- mals, 300 pounds of beef, pork and veal for the cooking tent, 300 pounds of fish and 780 loaves of bread to keep}Fore- paugh’s animals for one day. ——Dr. D. 8. Monroe, now of JAl- toona, who is well known to our; towns people. has been elected Secretary of the General Conference of the Metho- dist Episcopal church that is now in session at Omaha, Neb. Four years ago when the conference met in New York he held the same office, and eight years ago he was assistant Secretary. This is quite an honor for Central Pennsylva- nia but Dr. Monroe is one of the ablest men of the church and is evidently re- cognized as such, by his fellow preach- ers. —— In writing of the, 4th of July celebration which we intend having, this year, the Lock Haven Democrat remarks, “If some person touches the match to a big fire cracker the natives of sedate Bellefonte will think another earthquake has visited them as they did a few daysazo when there was an ex- plezion at the stone quarry near there.” ‘We would just say to the Democrat that Bellefonters hear more blasting and sounds of industry in one day than do the people of thatold town do in a month, and the only time they geta good shaking up is when the malaria and ague begin operations. ——The following little quotation from the Williamsport Republican will give you an elegant idea of how the Dickinson college boys played down there. ‘“Arrayed in suits ot dazzling splendor the Dickinson College club, of Carlisle,essayed to give the peoplean ex- hibition of the manner in which base ball is played at the Temples of Learn- ing. It was an exhibition, but it was awful... Over-throws, muffs and fumbles follewed one another in quick succession and we can positively assert that the Dickinson College club is the worst ex- cuse for a ball club that has yet faced the famous ‘‘Maroons.”” Mr. Court- ney if you want the support of your ad- mirers, give us better games. Even Wing Sing, the popular Celestial laundryman, was utterly disgusted with his initial sight of the great American game.”” The game resulted in the score of 22 to 8. Last Saturday afternoon Miss Tessie Lyon, who was gathering arbu- tus with a party of young people away up along the Bellefonte and Central rail-road, lost her watch ; but did not notice that it was gone ’til she had start- ed for home. Accomodating as conduc- tor Parker is he could not be persuaded that a watch was of as much importance as his reputation as a time keeper and stop the train he wouldn't. Tess con- fident that she remembered the spot coaxed her father to go with ber next morning and bright and early they started, on what seemed to be a wild goose chase, for the arbutus field is ten miles from town and covers acres of the “Barrens.” Almost the first thing they saw on entering the woods was the watch, but as the good fortune is not likely to happen to every one, we would advise picnicers not to put their watches in their belts when they go to gather flowers. | went to school she found another teach- | THE CouRrT’s DoiNgs.—The second week of court began, on Monday, with the consideration of the case brought by Treasurer Gramley to recover interest on funds left for disbursement by his predecessor. The case involved many technicalities and excited considerable attention because of the fact that the descision of the court would establish- ment a precedent. A verdict was ren- dered in favor of the plaintiff for $5321,30. Agnes Shoemaker vs. Philipsburg School Board, to recover eight months salary, was the next case considered. After having been selected an instruc- tor and having taught one month, she was asked for her resignation ; without apparent cause. Miss Shoemaker re- fused to resign and her successor was appointed. One morning when she ®- erin her room, but nothing daunted, she called the school to order and was then escorted from the room by an officer whom the board had authorized to re- | move her. She lost her case. administrators. Non-suit suffered by plaintiff. Jas. Sankey vs. C. P. Hewes, admin- istrator of Sam. Sankey. Case continued plaintiff’s cost. The case of K. G. Shutt vs. William Grauer was settled at defendant’s cost. Geo. W. Jackson vs. the Nittany Valley Railroad Co., continued. Geo. Boak vs. Sebastian Viehdorfer. Case settled. Wm. Walker vs. A. P. and George Krape, a case involving the recovery of two notes for $300 and $500 respective- ly. Verdict for plaintiff. The case of [sabella Lohr vs. Philips- burg Boro. was taken up Wednesday afternoon, and up to the time of our go- ing to press was occupying the atten- tion of the Court. The case was brought to recover damages occasioned by a fall which the plaintiff had while passing over a bad boardwalk in that place. She has thus far shown that she received permanent injury to her arm and a physician has testified that she will never be able to use the mem- ber again. As Mrs. Lohr’s work is the only means of income the family has, they are in destitute circumstances be- cause of her crippled condition. Peo- plein this vicinity will remember her as the wife of David Lohr, who is now so badly crippled up with rheumatism that he can scarcely move. A verdet of $958,69 was returned for Mrs. Lohr just as we closed our forms. It is hardly possible that the Court will get through with -its work this pants $2.50, 3.00, 3.50, 4.00 and 5.00.

Ira Hicks, the great American forecaster and dealer in weather generally, has reads, “Laws of the Burgesses and Town Council of the Borough of Huntingdon, commencing October, 1796, Volume 1.” The borough was incorporated by an act of Assembly approved March 29th, our peace loving friends out at the promulgated the following weather pro- gramme for the month of May : Cold, clear weather will advance from the west to eastern parts of our continent during the first five days of May. iy the 3d a warm wave will appear in the west, attended by a low barometer and storm developments of marked intensity. Within forty-eight hours of 6 p. m., on the 4th—the center of the perion-- storms of marked cyclonic possibilities, attend- ed by hail, rain and thunder, will visit most parts of the country. Frosts are almost sure to follow in the rear of storms about the night of the 4th or 5th, in the north and west, reaching the east- ern sections a day or two later. Watch and see. Centering on the 10th and 11th, reactionary conditions of temperature and barometric pressure, ending in storms, may be counted on. The next storm period is central on the 16th, bringing its culminating stages especially in the eastern parts of the country, exactly on the 18th—the cen- tral day of a Venus disturbance. The period runs from the 14th to the 19th. A series of heavy storms recurring in cycles of twenty.four hours—say each afternoon and evening—will most likely result for several days about this time. Heavy frosts will be heard from to the northward between the 16th and 21st. On and about the 23d, look for the re- turn of very warm days, with reaction- ary storms greatly intensified by the Ve- nus equinox. ~The last storm period for the month is from the 25th to the 80th--aperiod call- ing for constant and careful watchful- ness in the event of hou days, south winds and the formation of active storm clouds. On the 25th falls the new moon equinox of Mercury on the 29th; we may almost surely expect disturbances of great violence. The phenomenal rains which we expected at the end of April and in May have been precipitat- ed by Mars and Saturn combination, resulting in great and disastrous floods. i Several week ago we gave an ac- count of a drunken brawl which oczur- red in this vicinity and credited it to a family supposed to have been living at the Valentine iron works. We made a mistake in this, however, as the distur- bance did not occur at the forge, but up along the Lewistown pike. We make this correction out of consideration for forge, who may have felt aggrieved at | thinking they had such hoodlums among them. st Lyon & Co. nothing was said about it, and the story did not leak out till Saturday, when a gentleman who was a witness to the af- fair told it. ona business trip up the Bell's Gap North western. ed across to wait for an east-bound train on the main line. and the half-dozen steps at the depot had almost reached the top when one of step, which caused him to lose his bal- ance and to the dismay of those stand- ing about he went rolling down ‘to the bottom of the steps. even a man not so crippled as the Gen- eral, but it apparently did not do any serious damage to him. up and helped into the depot, but re- fused to have anything more done for him, and s.on after took the train for the east.— Ez.

Bunnell has left his partner to continue the business at the old stand, to open a music store in Philipsburg: He has se- cured a suitable room on Front street, the principal thoroughfare of that thriv- ing coal town, and doubtless will make a success of the venture. Mr. Bunnell’s long experience in handling musical instruments of all kinds and makes thoroughly fits him for the caretul transaction of business, in his line. His acquaintance in this com- munity is the best guarantee of his inte- grity, and the fact that he has handled nearly every known make of pianos makes him thoroughly conversant with the peculiarities of each. We bespeak for him a liberal patronage. ——Dress zingham 63, 7,8, 10, 12 15 and 20 cents. Lyon & Co.
