A WonperFUL DIsPLAY oF NORTH-
ERN LicaTS.--On Thursday and Fri-
day evenings of last week the aurora
borealis, known more commonly as the
northern lights, attracted considerable
interest in this place. The illumination
of the heavens was singularly brilliant
and beautiful. There were people to be
seen everywhere who were watching the
light, as it played across the northern |
i
skies, and the wonderment as to its true |
cause was perhaps as great an object in
the minds of those who saw it as the
beauty of the spectacle itself. Science
does not have a universally accepted
theory for the phenomenon and every-
one must conclude for himself as to the
cause of it. 1p speaking of the display
as seen in Lock Haven the Democrat,
of that place, describes it as follows :
“There was a magnificent display of |
the aurora borealis, or northern lights,
in the heavens last evening between 9
and 10 o'clock. This phenomenon con-
sists of a luminous arch set in the dark
sky and while it lasts is in A constant
state of motion. It rises and falls,
sometimes breaks in one part and some-
times in another. These motions be-
come all the more observable when the
arch is about to shoot forth its rays ;
then it becomes luminous at one point,
and suddenly mounts with the rapidity
of lightening towards the zenith. These
shooting rays rarely keep the same form
forany length of time, but undergo
continual changes, moving eastward
and westward, and fluttering like a rib-
bon agitated by the wind. It finally
fades from view to give way to other
rays. Insome sections when the aurora
has attained its full brightness and ac-
tivity, rays have been projected from
every part of the arch, and if they do
not rise too high it presents the appear-
ance of a comb furnished with teeth.
When the rays are very bright they
sometimes assume a green, sometimes a
violet, a purple, or rose colors giving to
the whole a variegated and brilliant ef-
fect. The whole display will sometimes
assume the form of a long banner wav-
ing in the breeze in a horizontal direc-
tion, making a most gorgeous and mag-
nificent display, but this awe-inspiring
sight is not often seen. Sometimes
when the rays darted by the luminous
arch are numerous and of great length,
they culminate in a point which is sit-
uated 1n the prolongation of the dig-
ging needle somewhat southeast of the
zenith. They form whatis called the
boreal crown, and the whole heavens
towards the east, west and north present
the appearance of a vast cupola of fire,
supported by columns of various colored
light, When the rays are darted less
brilliantly, the crown first disappears,
then here and there, the light becomes
taint and intermittent, till at last the
whole phenomenon recedes from sight.
These lights are only seen by inhabi-
tants living in the higher latitudes, a
line drawn through the south of Spain
to the north of the Sandwich islands and
through Cuba marking the southern
limit of the aurora in the northern
hemisphere.”
ANorHER FREE ConcERT.-Thesecond
public recital of the Bellefonte musi-
cal association (Myer’s orchestra and the
Bellefonte band), will he held on Thurs-
day evening, March 8th, in their hall
in the Centre county bank building.
The first recital was a success in every
way, and all who were present were
pleased with the entertainment, and
surprised at the improvement the boys
are making. The coming concert will
be still better as the programe contains
soms exceptionally good numbers, and
some new features have been introduced,
which will give a pleasing variety to the
evening’s entertainment :

These concerts are given for the en-

fonte, and the boys like everyone present
who takes pleasure in listening to “good
music. No admission fee will be
charged, but all who desire to help the
cause along will have an opportunity as
a collection will be taken up. The or-
ganization is nol for the purpose of
making money, and the boys will be
satistied if the necessary running ex-
‘penses can be met. So with a little
help and encouragement from the eciti-
‘zens and the musical people of the town
Bellefonte will soon be able to claim a
band and orchestra which will compare
favorably with those of neighboring
cities, and worthy of tbe old “home of
Governors.”

Elder and Kennedy, both of the Fifth
R:giment, and the Lieut. E. W. Mc-
Caskey commandant at State College.
After the dismissal of the soldiers fif-
teen commissioned officers banquetted

FursT vs. THE ASSOCIATES, — It
seems: that the long-disputed Armor
will case is not yet settled, and that it is
likely to prove a long drawn out case of
see-saw being played by the President
Judge and the two Associate Judges of
Centre county, both sides endeavoring
to see which has the most substantial
authority to back up their various and
numerous, as well as voluminous,
opinions and decrees. On last Friday
the Associates again filed a long opinion
and decree on the case, over-ruling and
setting aside the last decree of Judge
Furst and ordering that the verdict as
found by the jury should stand and that
judgment in accordance therewith be
entered in favor of the heirs. Believing
this to be right, Register Rumberger
revoked the letters testamentary granted
to D. M. Butts, and issued others to
Monroe Armor and his sister, Mrs.
Amanda Miller as the rightful executor
and executrix of the estate. And so
the case now stands ; but it is not likely
it wili be allowed to rest at this. —

Tae UN1versiTY INN.—The quaint
looking building which has just been
erected at State College for the accom-
modation of &tudents and the traveling
public will be operied about April 1st.
It is an exceptionally large house of the
colonial style of architecture and will be
fitted throughout with all the mcdern

ground, directly west of the College
campus, and from its wide verandas a
a fine view can be had of Nittany and
Penas valleys as well as of the Nittany
and Tussey mountain ranges. Away

corridors, rooms en suite, or singly,
roomy, well appointed offices, dining
rooms and parlors and with barber shop,

A NEW TRIAL REFUSED.—On Tues-
day Judge McPherson, of Harrisburg,
filed his opinion on the motion for a
new trial of the case of Geo. 'W. Jack-
son versus the Nittany Valley rail road
company, which was argued before him
while in attendance at the January term
in this county. The case was to recover
damages from tte railroad company for
right of way through plaintiff’s ore op-
erations on the Barnhart property, three
miles east of this place. It being claim-
ed that the bed of the rail-road was
laid over valuable iron ore deposits,
making them a total loss, A board of
viewers gave Mr. Jackson damages to
the amount af $4,000, but the rail-road
appealed from their finding and the
court, at the January term, laid aside
the finding of the commission and
would allow no damages. Mr. Jack-
son’s attorneys then moved for a new
trial and the argument was made before
Judge McPherson. He reserved his
opinion until Tuesday, when it was ren-
dered and refused a new trial of the
case.
Unmaprpy MR. SwuiTH.—On last
Tuesday morning Elias S. Smith, who
lives two miles west of Centre Hall
pulled a razor out of his pocket and cut
his throat from ear to ear, with suicidal
intent. Smith's bride of two months
had left him a few days previous, te-
cause of cruelty and supposed desertion,
nnd went to live with her grand-father,
Mr. Philip Flory. Smith followed her
there on Tuesday morning and being
refused to see her he told the old mean
that if he couldn’t see her he would cut
bis throat. ‘“Cutand be d——1!"" res-
ponded Flory, whereupon the unhappy
husband whipped out a razor and slashed
himself. Amos Parker, with a brother
of Smith, was attracted to the place by
the screnms of the women and after
staunc ng the flow of blood, they sent
for DD: Hmerick who is in attendance.
The man will live, though it required
fifteen stitches to close his wound.

TESTING CATTLE FOR TUBERCULOSIS,
—Prof. H. J. Waters, of the Experi-

that place’ will be submitted for the
third time to Koch’s test for tubercu-
losis, on Friday, March 23rd, under the
direction of Doctor Leonard Pearson,
professor of Veterinary Science.
The test will be open to the public,
and any one feeling an interest in the
matter will be welcome.
Tuk PREACHER. PROPHET ON MARCH
WEATHER. — We begin with a repeti-
tion of our warningsofa hard and stormy
March. About the 3rd, the beginning
of a storm period will show itself in
westerly regions, by a falling barometer
and rising temperature. The winds will
shift to southerly—the thermometer will
continue to rise, and the barometer to
fall until extremes of both are reached,
and until general and violent storms
develop and start on their eastward
career. The first storm period would
end, under normal conditions, about the
7th, but the new moon falling on that
date, and the combined disturbing pow-
ers of Mars, Earth and Venus being so
near the crisis, a series of hard danger
ous storms will most likely centre about
the 7th, with continued storminess past
the reactionary disturbances, central on
the 8th and 9th. During all these dis-
turbances there will be violent conflicts
between the tropical and polar storms,
with heavy rains and storm probabilities
of tornadoes in many places, especially
southward and turning to blizzards and
snow blockades in more northernly re-
gions. Sudden and extreme cold must
be expected and preparations made for
it in rear of these storms, or surprise and
suffering are sure to result. On and
touching March 11th is the annual
crisis for magnetic and electrical pertur-
bations.
The 14th is the centre of the next reg-
ular period. A day or two previous to
that date indications in westerly parts
of the continent will plainly show chat
energetic storms are brewing. Watch
the temperature, the weather reports)
your own barometer and the clouds.
During 18th to 17th, the storms will
reach their crisis and make their sweep
from the western to the eastern extremes
of our continent. At the close of
storms, each section in its turn will be
struck by a polar wave of great severity
for the season. Centering on the 20th,
21st, and 224, we have the full moon
with partial eclipse of same, the equi-
noctial centres of Mercury, Earth, Venus:
Vulcan’s reactionary disturbances, and
the direct pressure of the Mars equinox
which is central on Feb. 28. Expect
cyclonic storms of great extent, resulting
in tornadic features along the southern
tangents, and blizzards to the north all
to be followed by a general cold wave
that will be felt to the coast of Florida.
Earthquake perturbations, and volcanic
eruptions, will be natural, but not nec-
essurily dangerous and fatal. The last
storm period for March will run from
25th to 29th, inclusive, and the storm
period will show the same characteristics
as those of earlier periods of the month:
Where March storms culminate in very
high temperature, heavy hail with
thunder and lightening may be looked
for. The month will close cold and fair
generally.— Word and Works.

—Rev. John A. White, the higher life Pres-
byterian minister of Milroy, was in town on
Monday on his way home from State College,
where he had conducted service the day pre-
vious. He isa near relative of ex Governor
Beaver and is a man well advanced in’ years.
His ideas of christianity cost him his member-
87ip of the Presbyterian Synod, some years
ago, but when he was discharged from the
church service his congregation at Milroy fol-
lowed him and helped him build a new church
in which he has since expounded his ideas.
Mr. White believes that a thoroughly pure life
can be lived on this earth and that man can be
80 thoroughly christianized here that he will
be entirely beyond, both in mind] and body,
anything impure. He is’ a great favorite ag
the College and no minister who visits that
institution commands the same attention dur:
ing his sermons.
