cent years when she went to Chicago to
make her home with her son Charles,
where she died after a protracted illness.
Seven children survive her, as follows :
Mrs. Evang, of Lock Haven; Mrs, Min-
nie Harper, and Mrs. Hoffman, of this
place. The sons are Charley, of Chica-
go; Benjamin, of Altoona ; Hayes and
Harry, the latter of this place. Wil-
liam Schreyer deceased, the oldest son!
who was well known here, the late Mrs. |
Daniel Garman, of this place, and the |
late Mrs. Hawthorne, of Williamsport,
were children.
A WHITE DEER.—One of the most
beautiful and wonderful specimens of
the fleet-footed denizens of mountain
beights ever seen in this region, in the
shape of a deer, thecolor of which rivaled
in whiteness the feathery snow flake. was
brought to this city from the scene of
its capture, on the banks of Baker run,
Clinton county, Friday, and exhibi-
ted to the curious gaze of an admiring
populace. The unusually fortunate
hunter who was thus favored by the
goddess of the chase and upon whom
beamed the smiles of Diana’s nymphs,
was George S. McCartey, a resident of
Dauphin, Dauphin county and a cousin
of Ike Mulligan, of Renova. The deer
is certainly a curiosity. Its head is the
usual color—a sort of grayish red—but
the balance of the body is snow white.
It is the only one of the kind ever killed
in the county, and is the first killed in
the State since Benjamin Kaley shot
one in Schuylkill county twenty years
ago.
The incident has awakened many
reminiscences among old hunters. Long
ago it was considered an evil omen to
kill a white deer, but taking into consid-
eration the saying among mountaineers
that “all signs fail in dry weather,” we
do not think Mr. McCartey need feel
the least uneasiness concerning the re-
sult of his success as a hunter.— Renova
News.
THE -CoLLEGE Boys WINNERS.—
The foot-ball eleven of the Pennsylva-
nia State College went to Pittsburg last
Friday evening and on Saturday lined
up against the Pittsburg Athletic
Club’s eleven--better known as the
East End Gyms.—The game was hotly
contested from start to finish, but the
superior training of the College boys
was more than their doughty opponents
could master. Fifteen hundred people
watched Taylor, Fay, Morrow and
Brown shoot through the Gyms’ line
and run around their ends until they
had scored three touch-down, from which
two goals were kicked.
The College boys played a snappy
game from the ‘kick off” and frustrated
every trick attempted by the Smoky
City players. It was thought that the
score would have been larger, but the
crippled condition of the Collegians and
the fact that Capt. C. E. Aull of the
Gyms, was last year’s P. 8. C. captain
and quarter back, accounts for the final
of 16 t0 0.
The teams lined up as follows :

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION, —
Saturday Governor Pattison issued the
following proclamation :
«Profound gratitude to the divine
Author of all good, whose blessings
have been so abundantly bestowed in
the past and whose benediction we fer-
vently invoke for for the future, makes
it fitting and right that the people
should pause from their accustomed
toil and pleasure to make acknowledg-
ment of their dependence upon that
Almighty Being from whom all bless-
ings flow.
“In conformity, therefore, with the
recommendation of the President of the
United States, I, Robert E. Pattison,
governor of the commonwealth of Penn-
sylvania, do appoint Thursday, the
24th day of November, as the day of
thanksgiving and. prayer.
“On that day let the people lay aside
all secular occupations and meet to-
gether in their usual places of worship,
in reverent thanksgiving for mercies re-
ceived and prayer for a continuance of
Divine favor. By the reunion of fami-
lies and friends promote that love for
home which secures contentment and
prosperity, and above all in kind re-
membrance of the poor, put on charity
which is the bond of perfectness, and so
render our thanksgiving more pleasing
to the Lord.”

and now presents a charming interior.
The prevailing tints are olive, pink,

—— John Dubbs went up the river
yesterday morning. He had a plow
handle on his shoulder when he started,
so we presume he was dumb enough to
think that there are some farmers up
there. Oh no, John! they all voted
with us this time.
——0On the night of election '91 some
fellows stole hold-back straps from the

key, Will Keller, Clifford Lucas,

—At a meeting of council last Mon-
day night a motion was passed to nego-
tiate a loan of $100,000, at a rate not
higer than 4 per cent, to pay off the old
7 per cent bonds which will fall due on
April 1st, 1893, Council also decided
to try vitrified brick for crossings and
has ordered 1000 for the test. The fire
alarm question was taken up and thor-
oughly discussed. After considering the
objections to its use council voted to
continue blowing it when fire threatens
our town. A wise decision,
Fire Buas AT WORK.—Attempts
were made to start fires in three differ-
ent parts of town on Tuesday night.
One was frustrated which was
being'made in the stable of the Belle-
fonte Fuel and Supply Co., on Race
street. Another in the stable belong-
ingto the property of the late T. R.
Reynolds, just off Spring street, was dis-
covered before serious damage was done
and the third was located near the Glass
works. If the villains had been suc-
cessful in getting a fire started at any of
the places where they tried the result
would have been disastrous, for every
one is in quarters surrounded by
light frame buildings which would have
made a frightful conflagration.
Ir 1r ONLY ProvES TRUE.—Accord-
ing to the following prognostications for
this month it will be seen that Mr.
Hick’s promises us lots of rain. If his
prophesies only come true parts of
Pennsylvania, which are now parched
and baked for want of water, will sure-
ly have every confidence in his future
forecasts :
“We will have bright, frosty days and
nights during the opening days of No-
vember. About the fourth it will grow
warmer, and during the days: following
storms will pass from west to east. Be
prepared for cold waves to succeed all
the regular and reactionary periods of
the month. The 11th is a central day
for reactionary movements, From 16th
to 19th look for rain, sleet and hard
autumnal gules. Hard freezing will
follow on the heels of the storms, and
continue up to the 22d and 23d. These
dates will bring higher temperature and
storm, and in turn be followed by cold.
Month ends with storms, 28th and 29th,
and cold wave the 30th”
Hr Was Ur IN THE MORNING.—A
good joke is told at the expense of At-
torney Al Dale, who figured as a can-
didate on the Republican ticket for As-
sembly at the recent election. He had
become so sanguine of his election that
all he thought remained to be done was
to be out early onthe morning ot the
8th to catch the worm. It is natural for
a tellow to get a little bit excited when
he is in such imminent danger (?) of
having Legislative honors thrust upon
him as Mr. Dale was, but when he
crawled out at one o’clock in the morn-
ing and wakened up the girl to get his
breakfast, before knowing that he had
only beenin bed about an hour we
think Al must have bad it pretty bad.
He went back then and overslept him-
self, not awakening until the worm had
wiggled out of his reach and nothing
was left in his bonnet by the sting of
the bee.
SOLDIERS oF THE Frvries.—One of
the pleasantest evenings we have eve:
passed was that of last Friday evening,
Nov. 5, when we were courteously in-
vited to the Gregg Post room to wit-
ness the reunion of the Bellefonte Fen-
cibles, an organization existing since
1858. After the meeting bad been
called to order by Col. George A.
Bayard, Mr. Robert Valintine was
chosen presiding officer. “Jas. H. Rank-
in reading clerk, and Mr. C. P. Stone-
road, secretary. Music is ever the means
of touching some chord of remembrance
that will vibrate and re-echo through
every fibre of our being, carrying us be-
yond present surroundings, and as the
familiar and soul stiring strains of
“America,” played by Prof. Myers’
orchestra, were heard, these batitle-scar- |
red veterans were once more comrades
toilstained and foot sore.
“Cannon to right of them
Cannon to left of them
Cannon in front of them”
For a time, being recalled to them-
selves when the music ceased and they
were led in prayer by Rev. Honesty,
pastor of the A. M. E. church-—Then
a silence fell’—and once more the years
rolled back as Mr. J. H. Rankin called
the rodl.
“There they stood in the failing light ;
These men of battle, with grave dark look,s
And out of the original one hundred
and thirty five.

“Here” was the answer, loud and
clear from the following persons: Ex-
Gov. A. G. Curtin, who was captain of
the Fencibles ; James H. Rankin, who
was first sargeant; Cyrus Strickland,
Monroe Armor, Gen. John T. Curtin,
H. P. Harris, H. H. Montgomery, P.
M. Barnhart, H. C. Yearger, Robert
Valentine, John Anderson, Frank P.
Green, E. M. Blanchard, W. W.

W. S. Tripple, Col. D. K. Tate, all of
hampton, N. Y.; Abram Miller, of
Pleasant Gap; C. P. Stoneroad, of
Milesburg ; William Orner,
Alevey’s Fort.
“Twas a victory ; yes, but it cost us dear—
For that company’s roll, when called at night
Of a hundred men who went into the fight,
Nambered but twenty that answered “Here!”
As though pursuing the war time
program and after roll call, seated
around the camp fire to talk over the
events of the day, Mr. Cheesman called
for a speech from ex-Gov. A. G Cur-
tin, which was mainly an epitome of
the war, the causes leading thereto and
effects upon our nation, with the impor-
tant part played in it by the Bellefonte
| Fencibles, to every member of which
| he paid a glowing tribute. The whole
address was rich in reminiscences and
several well-told anecdotes elicited hearty
applause from those surviving partiei-
pants.
After calling attention to the com-
munications of regret that had been re-
| ceived from the three members unable
| be present, Sargeant James H. Rankin
read a brief history of this brave band
with clippings from the old Centre
Democrat and Pennsylvania Sentinel,
then published in Harrisburg, both these
articles being highly complimentary to
the Fencibles. Mr. Rankin stirred up
the fire and settled back into the
shadow while Mr. Robert Valentine
took up the strain enlivening the
“boys’’ with some of the humerous in-
cidents that had happered in the midst
of all the toil and sorrow, and well pre-
paring his hearers for an enthusiastic
appreciation of the orchestra’ next se-
lection “Marching through Georgia ;”
the walls fairly ringing as every voice
joined heartily in the chorus and a
march was made for the mess table
where something more elaborate than
hard tack and black coffee was served.
The inner man being well stayed, W.
C. Heinle, Col. Austin Curtin, Corporal
W. H. Musser, Capt. S. H. Williams,
Capt. S. B. Miller and Mr. E. C-
Humes each in turn made a few re-
marks befitting the occasion.
T he lights were put out and every
person went to their quarters with the
touching words of “Auld Lang Syne”
ringing in their ears, feeling this first
reunion of the Bellefonte Fencibles in
thirtyone years, to have been a fitting
commemoration to those brave soldiers,
for there never was an organization that
contained finer men and no company
in the army bore truer faith to the
great cause 1t espoused ard is more
worthy to be honored in the annals of
the Republic.
