Tre ResuLt OF THE ELECTION IN
THE CounTY.— Below we give the re-
sult of the election in the various pre-
cints of Centre county. We have named
only those candidates who were success-
Messrs. Grow or Hancock in each town-
ship.
Some of the reports ara doubtless in-
correct but the unsatisfactory manner
in which many of the return sheets are
made out renders an intelligible’ count
impossible.
We trust that the men elected are all
honorable citizens and that they wil
make careful and conscientious officials]

A REevisep VERsioN,—Knowing
ihat the school children are always hard
pressed for good declamations when the
literary entertainment day comes round
and with full appreciation of the chest-
nutty condition of the Mary and her
lamb poem we have clipped the follow.
ing revised version for our young read-
ers who want a laughable little speech
to memorize.
“Mollie had a little ram as black as a
rubber shoe, and everywhere that Mol-
lie went he emigrated too. He went
with her to church one day, the folks
hilarious grew, to see him walk demure-
ly into Deacon Allen’s pew. The
worthy deacon quickly let his angry pas-
sions rise, and gave it an unchristian
kick between the sad brown eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle ; the
deacon followed fast, and raised his foot
again, alas! that first kick was his last.
For Mr. Sheep walked slowly back,
about a rod ’tis said, and ere the deacon
could retreat, he stood him on his head.
The congregation then arose and went
for that ’ere sheep ; several well direct-
ed butts just placed them in ‘a heap.
Then rushed they straightway for the
door, with curses long and loud, while
rammy struck the hindmost man, and
shoved him through the crowd.
The minister had often heard that
kindness would subdue the fiercest
beast. ‘‘Aha,” he said, “I’ll try that
game on you.” And so he kindly,
gently called : “Come, rammy, ram-
my, ram ; to see the folks abuse you so
I grieved and sorry am.”
The ram quite dropped his humble
air, and dropped from off his feet, and
when the parson landed, he was near
the hind most seat. And as he shot out
of the door and closed it with a slam,
he named a California town, I think
‘twas “Yuba Dam.”
Tae Apventists Have CoMmE TO
Stay. So Mgr. WHEELER SAYS.—
Since Mr. Wheeler the Advent evan-
gelist, closed his services several months
ago, the Adventist cause has been gather-
ing strength under his earnest effort.
He has labored from house to house,
opening the Bible to such as would
hear bim,and has destributed much
religious reading matter at his own
expense, and visited and preached to
the prisioners in the jail.
Mr. Wheeler isa graduate of the
leading Adventist college in the land
at Battle Creek, Michigan, and is now
employed by the Pennsylvania confer-
ence of that denomination. His fol-
lowers, have now established quarters
in the old Methodist church, on jail hill,
which is being prepared by them for
sabbath school and other religious
services. It is expected that the chapel
will be ready this week and that Mr.
Wheeler will open services there Satur-
day evening next. He says he has
come to stay for “Truth crushed to.
the earth shall rise again’’ the eternal |
years of God are hers,” |
Tar DeatH oF Ex-CouNTY TREAS-
URER CYRUS Goss.—-A telegram from |
Altoona, at an early hour yesterday
morning, informed the Centre county
friends of Mr. Cyrus Goss that he had
died after a short illnss with pneu-
monia, at his home in that place, at 4
o'clock in the morning. It was know |
here that he had been ill, but nothing |
serions was looked for and the an-
nouncement of nis death was a decided
shock to his many friends. Mr
Goss leaves a widow with thirteen |
children, most of whom are young, to
mourn his death. He wasa man very
popular among men and was one of the
few Republicans who haveever held 2 |
Centre county office. Asa public offi-
cial he proved a success and was liked
by all who knew him.
His remains will be brought to Pine
Grove Mills where interment will be
made on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
He SHOT AT THE BoOYs.--August
Carp, & one legged Fin who works for
McCalmont & Co., was up before Jus- |
tice Foster, yesterday noon,charged with |
discharging deadly weapons. On Wed- |
nesday evening, while drunk, he was]
being token home by some countrymen, |
and when they reached the vicinity of |
the C. R. R. of Pa. passenger station, on |
Lamb street, some boys began teasing
them, whereupon Carp pulled out a re-
volver and fired.

——The death of William Green,
colored, occurred at his home on Logan
street, on Monday evening, after a con-
tinued illness with pneumonia. He was
one of Bellefonte’s best known colored
men and had been a porter at the
Brockerhoff house for thirty-five years,
a position which he filled with a faith-
fulness that had often been remarked.
During the war he served with Com-
pany K. 6th Reg. U. S. Colored troops
and is said to have been an exceptional-
ly good soldier.
Deceased is survived by a widow and
large family of children. Funeral ser-
vices were held yesterday afternoon.

formal re-organization by the newly
elected members was transacted.
Many bills were read and approved,
the Street, Water, Market and Finace
committees had no reports to make and
tke Fire committee reported that the
bursted hose sent away for repairs had
returned in good condition and that the
Logan steam engine company had as-
sumed control of the disbanded Coronet
hook and ladder company’s property.
General Superintendent J. W. Gephart
of the C. R. R. of Pa. appeared and ask-
ed council for permission to run a siding
across Lamb street to reach the electric

also permission to run asiding up Lamb

nuisances that were reported were refer-
red to the proper committees and after
