feet instead of only as many inches.
The trial was of a colored brethren wko
Tee PENNSYLVANIA StATE CoOL
LEGE IN Our ExcHANGES.—Thirty-six
Freshmen, mewbers of the class of 97 of
the State College, arrived in this city
last evening and were banquetted at the
Fallon House. The tables were nicely
decorated and the bill of fare was pre-
pared in Landlord Schuyler’s excellent
style. After the various courses had
been served, responses were made to
toasts as follows ; “Our Class,” C. W-
Hardt ; “The Faculty,” D. P. Good-
man ; “Athletics,” J. A. Dunsmore ;
“Cider,” A. L. Cromlish. P. T. Sel-
lers, son of General Sellers, U.S. A.
acted as toast master, and ably filled the
position. The students left for the
College this morning.
The Freshmen were jubilant over the
manner in which they had outwitted
the Sophomores in getting away from the
college. Therivalry between the two
classes had become so bitter as to induce
the Sophomores to embarrass the Fresh-
men wherever they could in formulat-
ing their plans for the proposed trip and
banquet. The Freshman, however, were
on the alert and taking advantage ofa
favorable opportunity succeeded in
reaching the train at State College be-
fore any of the Sophomores could catch
them.
As soon as the Freshmen boarded the
train they locked the dours and barred
the windows. The Sophomores made
repeated efforts to gain admittance, but
were unsuccessful, Finally one of their
number climbed on the roof of the car
aud poured a large quantity of sulphur
down the stove chimney. The lack of
ventilation caused by the closed win-
dows and ventilators resulted in the
train officials running the car a mile or
so from the station and out of reach of
the Sophomores, in order to allow the
ones inside an opportunity to remove
the stifling effects of the sulphur fumes,
The train left on schedule time amid
the shouts of the victorious Freshmen.
The State college has now 288 stu-
dents and 41 instructors, with an en-
dowment of over $500,000. —Saturday’s
Lock Haven Democrat.
B. F. Fisher, Jr., '96, to day broke
the college record for total strength ab-
ility. The previous record was 2450
pounds, but Fisher’s test sums up the
exceptional total of 2625 pounds. This
total is made up of the following speci-
fic tests : Back, 615 pounds ; legs, 1150;
chest 500 ; right forearm, 200 ; left fore”
arm, 160 ; height, 6 feet; weight, 200
pounds ; dip, 14; pull up, 15; chest, 43
inches ; biceps (repose), 18.5; biceps
(full), 15.5 ; capacity of lungs 830 cubic
inches ; breadth of shoulders, 18.5 inches ;
depth of chest, 10.8 inches.
Fisher, by his remarkable strength
ability, can be rightly numbered among
the strong men of any of the larger
universities. For two years he has
played left guard on the foot ball team,
and will captain the the team next sea-
son. He holds the college record for
putting the shot and throwing the ham-
mer, both of which records are better
than the State intercollegiate. Shot, 38
feet 6 inches ; hammer 95 feet 10 inches.
The four next strongest men are Dow-
ler ’94 ; Dunsmore, 97 ; Morrow, ’95
and White, ’94, all foot ball players.—

‘W AeNER—KIMPORT. — More than a
hundred guests assembled at the com-
fortable country home of Mr. Lot. W.
Kimport, in College township, on Wed-
nesday evening, lo witness the mar-
riage of Cora A., eldest daughter of the
family, to W. A. Wagner, a well-to do
young merchant of Kipple, Blair

cious viands were served those who were
fortunate in having been there.

woman and is & cousin of Prothono-
tary Wm. Smith, and her husband a
man who will honor and love her. The

Among the public sales that will
occur in this county during this season
we know of none where better opportu-
nities to purchase choice household fur-
piture will be offered than at the sale at
the State College Hotel, on Saturday,
March, 24. The proprietor, Mr. A. A.
Miller, having decided to discontinue
his business at State College, will dispose
of the entire equipment of his hotel and
the barn. Read the sale register for par-
ticulars and remember to keep the date
in mind for bargains await you.
——B. C. Achenbach, having disposed
of his Bishop street bakery and confec-
tionery, in this place, to Messr’s Ray-
ner and Tombe, of Gettysburg, Pa., will
hereafter devcte his entire time to con-
ducting his establishment at State Col-
lege. He has a growing business up
there and thinks it worthy of his undi-
vided attention. Bellefonte regrets to
lose such nice people as Mr. and Mrs.
Achenbach, but they arenot going so
far away that they can’t return to see
their friends here often.
——The story of the German Reform-
ation will be told by Mrs. H. E. Mon-
roe, with the aid of eighty-five stereopti-
con views, in the Lock Haven Opera
House, on Thursday and Friday eve-
nings, Feb. 15th and 16th., under the aus-
pices of St. John’s English Lutheran
church. The leading events of Luth-
er’s life will be represented by one hun-
dred young people in 16th century cos-
tumes. The lecture, music and dramat-
ic representations will be pleasing and
edifiying.
—— Chaplain McCabe’s lecture on
the “Bright side of Libbey” will be
given in the Methodist church, in this
place, on Saturday evening, March 8rd.
The admission to all parts of the audi-
torinm will be 50 cents Seats

for 8bcts. The Chaplain will de-
liver two sermons in the same church
on the Sunday following. A special

—— This evening, at seven o’clock,
the 4th annual indoor meeting of the
Pennsylvania State College athletic
association will be held. The sports will
come off in the College Armory and are
classified in seventeen events. Among
the number are running, jumping,
vaulting, boxing and wrestling matches,
with exhibitions on the horizontal and
parallel bars, the flying rings, and
many other amateur sports. The State
College band will furnish the music and
an interesting time is promised all those
who attend.
—— During the hearing of a case be-
tween Charles Gobble and wife and Mr.
and Mrs. S. S. Homan, of Walker town-
ship, on last Friday afternoon, one of the
attorneys interested questioned Mr. Ho-
man’s conception of the seriousness of
an oath. The two then exchanged a
few sulphurious compliments and would
have come to blows had not friends ine
terfered. The case was being heard be-
fore H. H. Harshberger, a commissioner
appointed by the court, and was
brought by the Poor Overseers of Walk-
er township to recover a small property
which had belonged to the Gobbles. Tt
appears that the Gobbles, being both
aged and unable to maintain themselves,
took Homan and his family to live with
them, the latter to become owners of the
property upon the death of Mr. and
Mis. Gobble, provided they care for the
old people until their demise. The Ho-
mans fulfilled their contract for a little
more than a year, then they chased the
Gobbles off, soit is said, and they be-
coming public charges Walker town-
hold of the property.

SoME MorE ANTIQUITIES.—The
editor of the WATCHMAN, to whose desk
all communications and obituaries are
dispatched, finds occasional relief from
the mournful nature of our work in the
various curiosities and antiquities which
invariably find their way into the news-
paper office. The present season has
been one of far more than usual fatali-
ties, consequently more death notices
have had to be written, but the odd
things have been exceptionally prolific
also and the latest consignment of the
latter contains some real curios,
First there is an old General Post of-
fice money-order of the series M, not
negotiable. It is made out in favor of
Rankin & McKinny and calls for the
payment of $15.00. It is signed by Jos-
eph B. Shugert, who was at that time
post master at Half Moon, Pa., an of-
fice which has been abandoned for
years. As the order is counter-signed
by Abram Brindley, assistant post mas-
ter general, we infer that it must have
been drawn early in the century.
Rankin & McKinny were then stage
contractors and carried the mail from
Yellow Springs, in Huntingdon county,
through to Erie, via the old Erie pike,
and Jos. B. Shugert, the post-master at
Half Moon, was the grand-father of
banker J. D. Shugert of this place. The
order is not canceled so must be good
for $15, even to this day.
Several orders on the treasurer of the
Bellefonte School district are before us
also. They are examples of old time
printing and noth withstanding the wear
of forty-eight years arestill in a fair state
of preservation. The first is drawn in
March, 1845, and is in favor of Wil-
Sam H. Blair, who was then drawing
$25.00 per month for teaching the
youngsters of Bellefonte. Our readers
will remember him better as the late
General W. H. Blair, who won his
military title for having been first to
cross the historic bridge at Antietam
and other similar acts of bravery dur-
ing the war. D. I. Pruner, father of
Col. E. J. Praner, was then president
of the Board, and figured asa Justice the
Peace, who was counted one of Belle-
fonte’s representative men. Our venera-
ble First National bank president, Ed’w.
C. Humes, was secretary of the Board,
but in those days he was just beginning
to amass the great fortune which he
now commands and kepta general
merchandise store in the old stone
building on Allegheny street where
Beaver and Dale have their law offices.
The second order is dated in June
1846 when W. W. Welch had succeed-
ed to the presidency of the Board and
'Squire Praner, having had uis share of
the honor was content with keeping its
minutes is the capacity of secretary.
This order is drawn to Join Blanchard,
father of E. M. Blanchard Esq., of this
place, and calls for the payment of $27.
55 to pay a note given to Mr. Blanchard
for funds advanced to the school fund.
The third relic is an old agreement by
which J. E. Cooke promised to teach
school in Bellefonte for a specified sum.
He was paid then just about the same
salary that teachers in country districts
are receiving to day for their service. It
is appended as follows:
It is agreed by and between J. E. Cooke
Teacher and William C. Welch President of
the Board of Directors of common schools, of
Bellefonte district, in Centre county, that J.
E. Cooke, shall, under the supervision and ex-
clusive direction of the Board of Directors of
sald district, and their successors, teach in
the school house in the Borough of Bellefonte
for the term of six months or two quarters of
twelve weeks each, at and for the compensa-
tion of eighty-seven dollars and fifty cents per
quarter, reserving the right for the Board of
Directors, for the time being, to dismiss said
J. E.Coooke at the end of any month (or
quarter) of said term. The actual possession
of the said school house and building and
premises before, mentioned, to remain and
be considered by all parties as remaining and
being at all times in the charge of the said
Board of Directors and their successors.
In witness whereof, we have hereunto set
ourhands & seals, on the 8th day of Nov. 1847.

A FINE SHOWING.—-The thirtieth
annual statement of the Brooklyn Life
Insurance company, which we publish
on another page, is certainly very credi-
table to its officers, and shows in a very
striking manner, the results of able and
skillful management, and liberal treat-
ment of its patrons.
Ln vigorous, healthy growth in every
direction, its business shows a marked
gain over that of the preceding year.
During the year the company has in-
creased its assets, its income, and amount
of insurancein force. >
Its management is of the most care-
it bas
always been one of the foremost in the
introduction of reforms in the interests
of policy- holders. Mr. Wm. M. Cole, the
president, and the other officers of the
company, are well known gentlemen
of integrity and skill. —The Bellefonte
office is in Reynold’s Block, J. C.
Weaver, agent.
——A. A. Miller, proprietor of the
State College hotel was in town on
Tuesday getting ready to close out his
business at State College. He has been
there just one year, but in that time has
made many friends. He has been offer-
ed the Cameron house in Lewisburg, but
as yet has not fully determined where
he will locate.
——The venerable Alexander Scott,
of Freeport, Armstrong county, died in
his 82ad year on Saturday evening.
Deuceased was the father of Mrs, John
P. Harris, of this place, who had been
at his bed-side for several weeks previous
to his death,
Joux F. Harrison Sr.—The vener-
able John Harrison Sr. of Pleasant Gap,
died at noon, last Friday, after a linger-
ing illness, He had been a sufferer for
some time with a complicated trouble
which seemed to baffle the skill of phys-
icians and the patient only found re-
lief from his sufferings in death. He
was about sixty-seven years old and
during his active life had been a plas-
terer of much skill. A widow, four
sons by name, Prof. John F., of the
Bollefonte High school ; Will, Bruce
and Charles with three daughters, Mary,
Emma and Nellie mourn the death of a
loving and loved parent.
Funeral services were held on Mon-
day morning at Pleasant Gap. The I.
0. O. F., of this place, of which deceased
was a member kad the burial in charge.
HARRY MARKLE.-- The death of Mr.
Harry Markle, which occurred last
Sunday morning, at his father’s home
near Roopsburg, was the result of a cold
he contracted while attending his moth-
er’s funeral about a year ago. He had
been away from home when the sad
news of his mother’s death reached him
and with a bride of only a few weeks,
he came hither to her funeral. A cold
developed into consumption and he
lingered until Sunday, when he passed
peacefully away. Deceased was aged
about twenty-four years and leaves a
widow, a father and several brothers to
mourn the life that has thus beea cut off
in the promise of young manhoed. His
funeral was held on Tuesday morning,
Two ENTERTAINMENTS AT CURTIN’S
Works.—The ladies of the Evangelical
church at Curtin’s works will hold a
chicken and waffle supper in the K. of
L. ball at that place tomorrow, Satur-
day evening, Feb. 17th. Refreshments
and delicacies of all kinds will be serv-
ed to those desiring them. The Roland
band will be in attendance to furnish
musie.
On Monday evening, Feb. 19th, Rev:
J. Hartzler, of Lewisburg, who bas
been a missionary to Japan for eight
years, will lecture in the Evangelical
church at Curtin’s. His subject will be
the life and customs of the Japanese as
secn by the lecturer. An admission of
only ten cents will be charged.
A SurprisE.—On last = Saturday
William H. Tibbens and his son, Wil-
ber, of near State College, came’to Belle
fonte, ostensibly on business, but ¢‘there-
by hangs a tale.” Mr. Tibbens knew it
was Wilbur's birthday so he managed
to stay in town until quite, late. On
their arrival home they found the house
filled with as jolly a lot of young folks
as ever met on a similar occasion.
When Wilbur entered the house he was
dumbfounded, he paled for an instant
and then fainted dead away and fell
plump into the arms of a buxom lass.
His mother gave him a dose of soothing
syrup, and rubbed his temples with
camphor and coal oil, when his reason
returned and upon opening his eyes, he
exclaimed “Oh Mamma! Where am I
at” Was Wilbur surprised ? well you
bet: The rest can easily be surmised.
Big lunch, festivity and jolity was the
order of the evening. It was an occa-
gion that will ever remain a green spot
in the memory of his life. *
Cupar EXCURSION ON “NITTANY
VaLLey Day,—The Central Railroad
of Pennsylvania will, on Saturday, Feb.
17th, sell excursion tickets at all regular
stations except Bellefonte, good for one
round trip over the entireline at a nom-
inal rate of 25 cefits. These tickets will
be honored on the regular trains and to
accommodate those desiring to make the
trip in the middle of the day a special
train is to be run from Bellefonte to
Mill Hall, leaving the former point at
10:30 a. m., and starting from Mill Hall
on the return trip at 12.30 noon. The
entire passenger equipment of the Cen-
tral road will be put into service on that
day which will enable the company to
comfortably handle all who may desire
to take a trip over the new line. Those
who have not yet enjoyed a ride on the
C. R. R. of Pa., should not miss this op-
portunity of taking a short journey on a
modern railroad equipped with rolling
stock surpassed by few trunk lines and
equalled by no short line in the country.
That hundreds of our Nittany valley
neighbors will avail themselves of this
attractive excursion goes without say-
ing.
General Superintendent Gephart will
on Tuesday, February 20th, give the
people of Bellefonte similar facilities for
inspecting the road ; a more extended
notice of which will appear in a few
days.

HALL.—The failure of William Wolf
caused no little excitement in Centre
Hall and Bellefonte on Thursday. He
had always been reckoned one of the
substantial men of Penn’s valley until
he filed a mortgage in favor of his wife
for $8,000, this led to a foreclosure which
closed the store of Wolf & Crawford, of
the same placa. Mr. Wolf retired from
the store some years ago and his son
Witmer, forming a partnership with
Frank Crawford, continued the business.
They enjoyed the large trade which the
old store had always catered to, but Wit-
mer Wolf, by endorsing for his father
who had lost considerable money in un-
fortunate speculations, was forced to the
wall aiso.
The liabilities are estimated at
$20,000 with assets which will not figure
up more than one quarter of that sum.

‘SmaLL-Pox AT TYRONE ForgEs UN
DER CoNTROL-—No0 new cases of small-
pox have developed at Tyrone Forges
witliin the past ten days. The original
list of twelve cases, six of small-pox and
six of varioloid has been the extent, thus
far, to which the infection has run.
The county poor directors are providing
for those families who are penniless be-
cause of their inability to leave the
town to go to their work. No person is
allowed to enter or depart unless it is
the health officers, and the poor directors
have ordered all residents of nearby vil-
lages vaccinated at the expense of the
poor fund.
The original case, who carried the dis-
ease frow Reading, is able to be up and
about the house.
—— Larry Bliss, the great Yale half-
back was in town over Sunday. Helis
selling Spaulding’s sporting goods
and had been up to State College to take
the students’ orders for spring athletic
goods. His trip to the Centre county in
stitution was somewhat of a failure. Mr.
Bliss, on arriving, asked the boys, “Have
you a foot ball team ?”’ and “how do you
stand in relation to Bucknell Universi-
ty.” They were mad in a minute and
it is needless to say that Spauldings did
not get their customary order.
——Property owners in Philipsburg
have begun street paving on their own
account They have waited in vain for
their council to rescue them from mud
and filth and will now do the work at
their own expense.
