THE VALENTINE IRON CoMPANY
Prospers.—The following excerpt from
the Nittany Bulletin, an occasional
publication by the Valentine Iron Com-
pany, will give our raaders a good idea
of what has been done at the big iron
plant since its operation by the present
patrous of the company and its first ap-
pearance was madaon Tuesday evening
last, the day the fires were relighted in
the furnace.
“To-day we start in on our second
blast. Our first blast was begun June
3, 1891 and ended February 12, 1893
Less than 36 hours were lost for repairs
and accidents in the entire run of 620
days. During this time we made 54782
gross tons or 62476 net tons of iron. In
making it we have used an average of
over 80 percent. of our own Nittany
Valley brown hematite ores. For fully
six months at a time we have run on
these ores exclusively. In mining and
preparing the ores on our own territory
within 4 miles of the furnace we have a
constant force of 800 men employed.
This gives us a steady supply, and en-
ables us to run our furnace on practical-
ly the same mixture. The result is a
uniformly satisfactory iron,--and few
complaints, From our last two years
experience, we feel warranted in saying
that there are few irons in the market
better adapted for the best class of
foundry work than “Nittany.” Among
this class of the trade we flnd a ready
market in Baltimore, Pittsburg, Phila-
delphia, Reading, Central and Eastern
Pennsylvania, Troy, Albany, Auburn,
and a number of New England points.
Once introduced “Nittany” commands
the highest price and gives the best sat-
isfaction. Our friends rarely desert us,
and where they have tried to avoid our
firm prices, after a short period they in-
variably return to the fold convinced
that in foundry work a reliable brand is
worth most money. Many foundry-
men bave still to learn that 25 or 50
cents less per ton for iron will rarely
save them over $200. per year, whilst a
a single day’s bad melt will cost more
than this sum in lost castings, and extra
machine work.
Oa February 12th we blew out for
bud been in use for three and a half
years. By continuous work, day and
night, in ftve weeks time we have taken
out the old and put ir 8 new hearth and
lining. Some idea of this undertaking
may be formed when we state that in
three weeks time fully 175,000 fire
bricks were built into the furnace.
This and all other repairs are completed,
and with care and no accidents, we hope
this work may last for five years.
When we blew out we supposed we
had sufficient iron to tide us over to
April Ist. In this we were mistaken.
For the past ten days we have been
without a single ton for shipment, and
to-day our furnace yard is as clean as
though no iron had ever been made on
the plant. On several grades of found-
ry irons we are already stocked with or-
ders for weeks ahead, and in all our de-
partments we feel satisfied we will be
crowded for some months to come.”
JosepH R HiLisisH Deap. —Joseph
R Hillibish, a well known and highly
respected resident of this city died sud-
denly on Wednesday night at five min-
utes to 12, at his home, No. 10 Tibbetts
avenue. On Tuesday evening he was
about town in apparently ood health,
but on returning to his home at an ear-
ly hour complained of pains in his sides.
Wednesday morning his wife decided
that ber husband needed immediate
medical aid and she sent for Dr. Stew-
art, who came to the sufferer’s aid and
found his patient in a comatose condi-
tion, in which state he remained until
death came. At the request of his wife
and friends an inquest and post mor-
tem was held. Coroner Slocum impan-
eled the following jury: A. N. Heard,
foreman; J. W. Hayes H. L. Brinker,
W. I. Sweet, W. W. Cheney and Jus.
Cremin. The jury met at 3 o'clock
Thursday afiernoon and listened to
some evidence after which they adjourn-
ed to meet Friday morning at Rocklyn
Hall. At the session Friday morning
Doctors Benninghoff and Stewart testi-
fied as to the antopsy made, after which
the jury rendered the following verdict:
“That Joseph R. Hillibish came to his
death fron: natural causes produced by
congestion of the brain. No traces of
poisonous substances being found.”
The funeral took place Saturday
morning from his late residence, No. 10
Tibbets avenue, Rev. Dr. Houghton
officiating, and was attended by a large
number of friends. The remains were
interred in. Oak Hill cemetery. The

that a spark from the flue set the house
on fire. Mr Garret had $400 insurance

~— Mercantile appraiser ~~ Frank
Hess, of Philipsburg, was in Bellefonte
on Monday finishing his work here.
He expected to wind up the whole job
on Wednesday, having made the credi-
table record of doing his work in just
two weeks time. Mr. Hess reported
business throughout the county general-
ly in a good condition, though he said
that he heard more complaints right
here in Bellefonte than in all the rest of
the territory he covered.
——The Zion normal and classical

glad to state that the school in Zion is
in a flourishing condition and the
spring session will be largely attended.
Grove, who died at his home in Miles-
burg, on Sunday evening lust, took place
Wednesday afternoon, under the direc-
tion of the Odd Fellows and was one of
the largest that has gone into the Union
c2metery tor some time.
Several years ago when Dr. Grove
was Milesburg’s most prominent phy-
sician, he was driving out toward
Marsh Creek, in the midst of a thunder
storm, when suddenly his horses drop-
ped as though shot, and he himself was
so stunned by the electricity that he
never recovered from the shock. Two
men who happened to be near at the
time went to his assistance and when he
recovered consciousness it was found
that his mind as well as his body had
been hurt. Some time afterward he
was taken to Danville in hopes that a
change would be beneficial, but as he
grew no better he was finally brought
home. He was about fifty-six years old
and his death was the result of a fall, he
bad last Monday week, from a porch
roof, onto which he had stepped from
his window in the absence of his nurse.
His wife, daughter and son survive.

Wednesday, Rev. Miles O. Noll, of the
Reformed church, officiating. Oaly the

Be ON tHE Look Out April FooL.
—To-merrow is the day of all days on
which our readers—Oh, pardon the slip,
for we know none of you are fools, mu-t
be on the lookout for the practical: jok-
er. He will be tying in wai for you—
‘and with malic afore thonght. All
kinds of schemes will be worked with
| untiring energy. If you see a nice fat
| pocket book lying on the side walk,
i don’t pick it up, for you will feel funny
when you find it jerked out of your
grasp by an invisible string and then
hear the sly chuckle of a lot of young-
sters concealed in some hiding place.
If there happens to be an old hat or
band box in your way don’t kick it un-
less your toe nails are too long and you
want to knock them off on the brick
that will be concealed within,
But what iz this day on which every-
one tries to make a fool of everyone else
ard what tradition have we to tell us
whence the custom comes. The follow-
ing are a few of the supposed origins
which we find in an exchange:
“April 1— the day when a big part
of the world makes a monkey of the
other part, when trousers are sewed up
before breakfust, when doughnuts are
stuffed with cotton and when coffee is
salted ; the day when the knowing boy
dispatches a younger brother to see a
| public statue descend from its pedestal
at an appointed hour, and when the
funny acquaintance inquires of ayoung
lady “why her bangs won’t stay bung,”
only to chuckle “April fool” at , her
when her band flies up to her head.
From time immemorial April 1 ;has
been consecrated to foolishness. Ac-
, counts differ as to the origin of the an-
niversary. All sorts of theories have
{ been advanced, but no two agree. Each
race has its own explanation for the
, queer customs practiced on this date.
The world seems destined to remain
in the dark as to the origin of April
| fooling. Extensive research has been
made 1n ancient and modera literature,
but, while many allusions to the custom
have been found, no one has us ye been
able to trace the source of the peculiar
anniversary, or to state how long it has
been in existence. Dr. Pegge advances
a plausible theory in his explanation
that the old Roman New Year 1esuval,
when the year began March 25, lasted
eight days, and that April 1, the last
day, was given over to wild reveiry.
But this idea is rather unsatisfactory.
It 1s important to note that the Hin-
doos have in their Huli, which termin-
ates about April 1, a peculiarly similar
festival, during which they dispatch
people on fuolish errands with wes-
sages to fictitious persons. The fact
that April fooling prevails all over the
globe; nnd on practically the same da, ,
indicates that the anniversary bas had
an early origin among mankind. Swift
in his letters to Stella, writes, Mareh 81,
1713, about the arrangements tbat he
and his friends, Dr. Arbuthnot and
Lady Masham, had made for the cir-
culation of “a le for the morrow,”
whereby everybody was to be beguiled
into believing that one Noble, hanged a
few days before, had eome to life again
and was in the hands of the Sheriff,
who was in a quandary as to what his
duty required of hin. in the case.
Toreen, a Swede of the eighteenth
century, shows that April 1 was known
as All Fools’ Day in his land by writ-
ing that “We set sail April 1, but the
wind made April fools of us, and we
were obliged to return.”
The people of Lisbon, Portugal, have
a carnival of nonsense similar to the
American celebration of All Fools’
Day, but they hold it for two days--
the Sunday and Monday before Lent.
Some, who have given the matter
study, ascribe to April fooling a Bibli-
cal origin. They assert that the custom
of sending one on a bootless errand is a
a travesty on the sending hither and
thither of the Savior from Annus to
Caipbas, and from Pilate to Herod ; be-
cause, during the middle ages, this
scene in Christ’s life was made the sub-
ject of a piay at Easter, which occurs
near the first ot April.
There is a tradition among the Heb-
rews that the custom of making fools on
the 1st of April arose from the fact that
‘Noah sent out the dove on the first day
of the month corresponding to our
April, before the water had abated. To
perpetuate the memory of the great de-
liverance of Noah and his family, it was
customary on this anniversary to pun-
ish persons who had forgotten the re-
markable circumstance connected with
the date, by sending them on some boot-
less errand similar to that on which the
patriarch sent the luckless bird from tte
window of the ark.” Fa
THE OPENING oF THE TROUT SEA-
soN.—There is a general impression
throughout the county that the; lawful
season for catching trout begins on
April 1st which is a mistaken one,
The law has not been changed and fish-
ermen must wait until the 15th of
April before they dare begin angling for
the speckled beauties or abide by the
consequences of the law.

Waar SpriNG WATER WILL Do. —
Daring the stay of the Central Penn-
sylvania Methodist Episcopal confer-
ence in this place two weeks ago, many
of the ministers found time to visit the
beautiful spring whence the pure spark-
ling water they drank, while here, came,
and which has supplied Bellefonte with
drink ever since it has been a town. Of
course that beautiful body of clear lime-
stone water, which at a depth of eight
feet looks scarcely more than that many
inches, was the first source of interest to
the visitors, but another sight almost
invariably attracted their attention be-
fore they left the place. All the way
around the spring engineer Ryan has a
a nice gravel walk tringed on either side
by grass, and while the grass every.
where else was brown and shriveled by
the winter's frost this was growing as if
it had been bathed with a June rain the
evening before. Fully three inches
long and as green and fresh asit will
ever be, that little grass plot was truly a
sumer garden 1n winter.
The wonder is how could the grass
grow and appear 80 green when all else
was frozen sv hard and brown. But the
fact that spring water never freezes sug-
gests iteelf and we find the answer.
The mists from the Spring always hung
about its banks thus protecting the
grass from the blighting frost.
