Deceased was over 76 years of age and the latte: years of her life have been spent with her husband on their farm, which is sit- uated on the very top of the Muncy mountains beyond Coleville. During her illness her neice, Miss May Barrett, has tenderly looked after her care and gratified her every desire. Mrs. Alex- ander was a consistent Episcopalian, and a sister of the late Thos. Burnside and S. A. Brew of this place. Her fun- eral was solemnized on Wednesday. James Furron Drap.—Well ad- vanced in his 65th year old Jimmy Ful- ton, as he was familiarly known, passed into that great beyond, on Tuesday af- ternoon at three o'clock. A man of jn- disputable integrity, whose labors were among the laboring class of people, by whom he was loved for the generous dispesition which characterized his every action, than whom no one could desire a stauncher friend and the church no more zealous supporter, he went to his grave after having filled a place, in our midst, which perhaps no one can take. He was born near Curtin’s Works in 1825 and spent all of his life in this com- munity. Before the Nittany Valley railroad was built and while the Valen- tines were operating their old charcoal furnaces he engaged in hauling ore up from the Gatesburg and Nigh banks. at this business he accumulated quite a substantial pittance and when the ad- vances of age made it necessary for” him to quit work himself he still contracted for hauling and his teams have worked about Bellefonte all the time. He was generous to a fault, always having sn open hand for those in need. As a soldier “Jimmy” knew not the meaning of fear. All through the Mexican war he wore the blue and when civil dissension threatened our downfall he was ready again to take up arms for the country he loved so dear. March 13, 1847 he enlisted in Co. D. 12th Reg. with which he served honorably until Aug. 16th, 1848, when he was given his dis- charge. Again in 1861 he enlisted and in '63 re-enlisted and served till the close of the war. Three children survive him. Two of whom are married. The third, {Miss Mattie, has kept house for her father ever since the death of her mother and three sisters, which occurred about five years ago. Before his death he request- ed that he be buried from the Union church at the Forge, with military hon- ors, and that Rev. G. P. Sarvis, who for five years was his pastor, be called from Ansonville to officiate. The funeral will take place this afternoon. Waar Councrit Dip AT 11s MEET- ING. —On Monday evening council met in its chamber for the transaction of the regular semi-monthly business which came up as follows : After refusing an Italian trinket ven- der the right to sell his ware on the streets, clerk Mitchell read a volumi- nous report of the Street committee, which made the inspection of our thor- oughfares last week. If we are to judge from its length there is much to do in the way of fixing up about town and we sincerely hope council will have the backbone to order it done and then see that its order is carried out to the letter. The Water committee reported hav- ing put in a hydrant at the Evangelical church, on Willow bank street; the Fire and Police committee failed to make itself heard and the Finance committee reported, through Mr. Garman, that its affairs were in good shape. Borough solicitor Clement Dale then read the law on the legality of the meet- ing, which was held last month, at which business was transacted without 8 quorum. Tt was plainly an illegal pro- ceeding, but the members present could find no other way out of the difficulty than to approve the bills before them without hunting their delinquent fel- low councilmen. Solicitor Dale read a clause from the law which surprised some of them. It wasthe fixing of a fine upon councilmen for not attending to the duties of their office. It this clause was enforced perhaps it might havea very salutory effect upon the conditions of Bellefonte finances. For councilmen would then take the iater- est they have sworn to take and the municipal affairs would not be left to conduct themselves as is too often done, With our councilmen always in their chairs—unless sickness or the like pre- vents—and ready to grasp every chance for improvement, Bellefonte’s govern mental wheels will go round with out the friction which has deterred their progress for so long. Has Nor WITHDRAWN. -Reports, we understand, are in circulation in parts of the county to the effect that W. J. Singer Esq., has withdrawn from the contest as a candidate for district attor- ney. This is incorrect. Mr. Singer is a candidate, but is confined to his bed with sickness, and unable to visit the different districts. He is consequently compelled to rely upon the good-will of the Democrats, rather than upon any canvassing he may do, for such support 2s he may receive at the delegate elec- tions. We make this correction in jus- tice to Mr. Singer. WANTED.—A good boy to do stable and general work about a yard and house. Good wages, steady employ- ment and an excellent home for the right boy. An opportunity of attending school will be given also. Apply at thie office. ——Philipsburg is excited over a cock fight which occurred on her prirci- ple business thoroughfare the other day. The fact that chickens rendezvous on her corners speaks stronger than words that her other roosters must be at work. ——Photographer Charles Glenn has the exclusive right to take pictures up "at the Park. ——On last Friday the Coroner of Clinton county was culled upon to serve a warrant on the Sheriff, | ——The State College and Pine Hall | Methogist Sunday schools picnicked at the Park on Saturday.

She also had bloomers on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. ——Friday afternoon’s rain storm played havoc with fields und fences at Pleasant Gap and Lemont. The pike between the former place and the Ross farm, a distance of about } mile, was entirely submerged, the water being al- most hub deep. Iields were badly washed and many fences carried away. —— West Clearfield was visited by a destruetive fire last Friday morning. G. C. Hackman’s furniture store, Stewart & Spackman’s groeery, the butcher shop of Conklin & Ogden and a building oc- cupied by Samuel Gearhart were totally destroyed. The origin of the fire is a mystery. —— Walter Lembkey, of Washing- ton, D. C.,spent Saturday with his re- latives and friends in this place. He is the same congenial fellow who left here three years ago to accept a position un- der the Harrison administration and is improving his extra moments, in the Capital city, by study at the Columbia law school. He has been spending a few days at Cresson. ——The annual Harvest services will be held in the Reformed churches of the Boalsburg charge as follows: Houser- ville, Aug. 7; Pine Grove Mills, Aug. 14; Boalsburg, Aug. 21; and Pine Hall, Aug. 28. The services will begin at 10 o'clock a. m., and a cordial invitation is extended to every body in the respec- tive communities to attend. ——An exchange remarks that the generally evil effests of excessive indul- gence in ice water is due to the ammo- nia it contains, that creating a thirst, the more water a person drinks, so that there is neither refreshment nor satisfac- tion in it. An excellent way of cooling water for hot weather consumption is to fill bottles or jars with it and keep them on ice. In this way a cooling draught is had which has no bad effects in it for drinkers. ——A private reception was given the new Y. M. C. A. Secretary Mr Ei- liot Harvey, in the Rooms of the As- sociation, last evening. The board of directors was present, with State Secretary Hurlburt and Gilbert A. Beaver, his assistant. Mr. Harvey made a very favorable impression and it is altogether probabls that his stay with us will result in much good to the com- munity. Since Mr. Bursley’s departure the rooms have not been open sll of the time and such a condition of affairs was much deplored: Hereafter you will al- ways find a cheery welcome. —T. T.
