Tue AprriL WEATHER WE MAY Expecr.— April wili open with tem- perature reacting into warmer, ané dur- ing 1st to 38rd, secondary storms will pass from west to east. The cool to cold weaiher following the last storms in March, will not give way to the re- actionary change to warmer and storms in extreme eastern parts of the country until about April 2nd and 3rd, at least that much time being required for storm conditions to develop and travel from the points of their beginning in the west. It will be wise to anticipate hail with any well defined storm from this time to the end of April. Very warm days will usher in each regular storm period, and sudden cold is apt to bring up the rear of every general disturbance. Fiom the 5th to 9th falls a storm period with the new moon at an eclipse node on the 5th. By that date a warm wave of marked intensity will show itself in western parts—the barometer will be low and falling, and storms of rain and hail, with snow following in the north, will start on their eastward career. It will be prudent to count on general and severe disturbances from the 5th to Ob, and to expect cold with frost and light freezing as the storm ares works east- ward of intermediate points: In ex- treme east, don’t expect at the begin- ning of the period the conditions pre- vailing in the west, and at before ihe end of the period, in the extreme West expect just the reverse of conditions ex- isting at 1he beginning of the period. Intermediate sections, therefore, will get their storms and changes during cen- tral parts of the period. This law of storin movement is not yet understood by the masses as it should be, and itis the business of ignorant, or envious and. mercenary critics to prevent its being understood. On and touching the 12th and 18th, thermometers and barometers will swing back to storm readings, heavy showers, with hail, thunder and wind, will strike all sections in their march to the Atlantic. The opposition of many worthy investigators be true, will add much energy and violence to all disturbances during the first baif of April, and especially during the per- turbations from about 11th to 14 h. Very cold weath.r. with frosts, will succeed these disturbances. The 17.h to 21st will constitute the next regular period. The crisis of this disturbance will be reached from the 18th to the night of the 20:h, the full moon on the 19:h having a tendency to centralize disturl.ing forces on that date. The showery conditions, usually exist ing all through April, will take on new power and organize into storms of great extent and energy at this period, as well as all dates of central disturbances. Very cool nights with frost generally, may be expected between the storms of this period and the reactionary changes and storms due centrally on the 24th and 25th. Another cool dash —severe enough to bring frost in the north—will follow storins about these dates. The month will end with a growing warm wave and with storms advancing from western extremes of the country. Without useless foreboding and dread we may reasonably expect tornadic storms in many places during thestoim periods in April. Those who have made preparations for such visitation, and who bave learned that they never come to any section without ample tine and plain indications, can afford to live quiet and at ease, so far us the tornado is concerned. They are ready to recog- nize the first breath of the destroying monster, and at the critical moment to step aside into a safe refuge. The times of greatest earthquake probability will be about the new moon on the 5th Before the end of April the season will be well opened, with a prepitious outlook for all who have their agricultursl interests well in band, and who are planning for early crops.— Word and Works. Mgrs. Suite 18 Founp.—About three weeks ago Jerome Swith, who lives on the extreme west end of Logan street lost his wife, or to be plainer, she put on a threadbareshawl,and went away from home. No one knew her where- abouts and Smith became almost frantic in his efforts to find some clue as to whitber she had gone. He was left at home with a small child to care for, It was a pitiful sight to see that man run- ning about the streets, with the child in his arms, trying to hear some word that would lead to the finding of the wife, who bad so mysteriously disappeared. Up until last Monday she was as com- pletely lost to him as if she had been suddenly carried to the antipodes. But after her two brothers, one from Phila- delphia the other from Lewistown, bad been here to help in the fruitless search, and the police had telegraphed every- where, the husband got ona clue that led him to a place about two miles north of Unionville and there he found her. She returned with him to this place on Monday evening. The Smiths came here from Reedsville some years ago and while Mann’s axe factory was in operation he found em- ployment there, but since its suspension he has been vending patent medicines. Itis said that family troubles drove Mrs. Smith away from ber home. — Six applicants are hustling for ! the Clearfield post office. ——Clinton county will issue bends to build a $16,500 bridge. —All Pennsylvania rail-road pes.

Pottsgrove, of Philipsburg, well known in Half Moon valley, died in Altoona Monday. — Tyrone is going to have a large boiler and machine works. A. G. Mor- ris, with his sons Thomas and Charles, is pushing the enterprise. ——The Houtzdale Advance bas sus- pended publication. How long the ed- itor intends resting we can’t teil. Hard times and lack of patronage forced it out. Because the faculty of The Penn- gylvania State College refused to rein- state a student, who was suspended last week, the Freshman class of that in- stitution threatened to leave, but an amicable adjustment of the difficulty happily avoided further trouble. The student had torn pages from a book in the engineering library ard wrote an essay therefrom. —— Charles 8. McOmber, who since 1876 has been the proprietor of the Ward house, at Tyrone, died in that place on Saturday morning. He was a native of Michigan, having been born ut Fenton, in 1845, and was one of the best known hotel men in the central part of the State, the management of the Ward house having brought him in contact with all travelers to this section. He had been in poor health for years and his death resulted from a complica- tion of troubles. A widow and daugh- ter are bereaved. ——The great offer being made by the Pittsburg Dispatch to take the sixty teachers of the public schools of Pitts- burg, Allegheny, and other points in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and the talk of the hour. iniucement that the twelve teachers of the sixty who receive the largest num- ber of votes will be taken on a suple- mentary trip to Philadelphia, New York and Boston after the Alantic City trip is over is indicative of the lib- erality which governs ibe Pittsburg Dispatch in everything it does. Give your favorite teacher the benefit of a splendid summer outing. —— A special meeting of council was beld on Monday evening to take action regarding the proper observance of Ar- bor day in this place and, hoping that the citizens could be better aroused, it was adjourned to meet at a town gather- ing in the court house last night. Ad. dresses were made by Gen. Beaver, Gen. Hastings, A. O. Furst, Join G. Love, D. F. Fortuey and others, the whole trend of which were to impress on the mirfds of our people the necessity for the proper care and preservation of our forests and shade trees. There can be no doubt that the destruction of the great wooded districts of a country ef fects serious and abrubt climatic chances and bas a tendency to produce droughts and floods. ——The song service in the Presby- terian church, on Sunday night, was largely attended and appreciated by all who heard it. Solo and choral selec- tions, with pipe urgan accompaniment, were rendered by the well trained choir in a manner that displayed hard work, but uofortunately the numbers were not so varied as they might have been, The cheristers at the Episcopal church their Euster services and the floral dec- orations as usnal lent that characteristic charm which worshipers in that church always experience. Fine music made the Reformed, Lutheran and Catholic churches more than usually attractive and large congregations told of its wp- preciation. ——No little excitement was raised here, on Saturday evening, when it be came known that Joshua Foulk, ex- policeman, constable of the North ward, tree-tritnmer, carpet cleaner and leader of his own drum corps, had gotten drunk and in the midst of a glorious old “jug” had shot at his wife with a revolver. Now it was not at all strange that Joshua should have gotten drunk, but when it came down to chasing his wife around the house at the point of a loaded revolver, then there was time for interference. He was arrested and taken betore District Attorney Singer, who did’nt know exactly what to do with him, so to relieve that official of any cause for worriment Josh. walked out of the Court House and went home. He should be made suffer for his misdeeds, just the same as any ong else would have to do. On Monday he was given a hearing and bound ia the sum of $300 for surety of the peace.

On last Wednesday morning he opened the office to find that his sate bad been cracked and small coin and stamps to the value of $500 had been taken. The particulars of the robbery being as follows. On Tuesday evening the office was locked up as usual and post-master James C. Smith went howe feeling that everyihing was secure. A masoric ban- quetin Millbeim that evening kept many ot'the residents up until a very late hour, and it was shortly after 1 o’clock in the morning that a muffled report, like an explosion, attracted the attention of land-lord Willis Weaver. A number ot other people heard the report, but none of them were able to lucate it. The post-office stands in the rear of Mus- ser’s hard ware, on Water street, and the thieves entered by the front door, hav- ing first broken the lock, with tools stolen from Weiser’s blacksmith shop. Once inside they cracked the safe, touk ils contents, that were of any value, and left. Stamps were scattered along the road through Texas, a small village ad. juining the borough of Millheim, and in that vicinity a horse and buggy was taken from the stable of Wm. H. Weaver. The thieves then proceeded on north and are supposed to have crossed over into Brush valley. Iv is not known whether postmaster Smith will have to bear the loss or not, though it w as not caused by any negli- gence on his part. Tae Buse Housk, EASTER DINNER. Ivis not an unusual thing for Belle- fonte’s hotels to get up fine dinners, in fact anything elseis a rarity at the many houses in this town, but the menu which Mr. Daggett, of the Bush House, presented to his guests last Sunday was one of an exceptional kind. The popular proprietor had invited nineteen gentlemen to eat their Easter dinner with him and every one of them accepted. They dropped into the hotel by ones and twos and were shown toa private parlor where the host and Mr. Feolon received them. After all had arrived dinner was announced and the party repaired tothe dining room, where two tables had been reserved. Pretty souvenir menus lay at the side of each cover and the guests were not slow in tinuifesting their substantial apprecia- tion of he delicacies there presented. " Iuis useless to say anything of the perfect service of the hotel, for that is too well known by everyone who has stopped there, but of the dinner too much praise cannot be given. The various courses contained the greatest delicacies of the season, prepared in a fusion after the beart of an epicurean. Soups, meats, game, fish, new tomatoes ‘new potatoes, New asparagus, new peas, sod cumcumbers, with new strawberries and funcy ices were only a small part of the tempting dishes relished by that party. After the dinner asmoker was given by the proprietor and informal tulks were listened to. : The dinner was splendid and the guests of the Bush House enjoyed it. MaNY GoLpeN EagLes Wikre Here —Oa last Tuesday evening a special over the Central railroad of Penna. brought Pleasant Valley castle 3ul, of Mall Hall, and Lamar castle, of Lamar, Knights of the Golden Eagle, to this place to pay a fraternal visit to Bellefonte casile 337. Tae visiting knights were met at the train by the Bellefonte castle und a parade was torm- ed, headed by the axe maker's band of Mill Hall, which had accompanied the visitors. The line moved up Lamb street to Allegheny, south on Allegheny to Bishop, thence to Spring and down Spring to High. From High street the parade went direct to the home castle’s quarters in the McClain block. After supper an open meeting was beld 1n the zustle rooms at which noble chief, I. N. Gibson, presided. C. M. Bower Esq., delivered an address of welcome to which Mr. Thomas Ickoff responded on behalf of the visitors. S:ate Grand Chief F, A. Harris, of Tyrone, was then introduced and talked about the Eagles and their growth for a full hour and a half. Refreshments were served afterwards and a social ees- sion concluded the evening's entertain- ment. Everyone was delighted and the visi- tors lefs for their homes at eleven o'clock, well pleased with the jaunt. JouN DALk Dip TH1s.—The Lewis- town Sentinel is making fun of the Bellefonte newspaper men because a quondam member of the fraternity here recently wrote a valedictory which he concluded as follows : “We lay down the editorial pen, which we have worn for so short a time, with the firm belief that it will be assumed by one who will wear it with better grace, and upon whose shoulders it will be more at home.”—The Sentinel laughs at the possibility of wearing a pen and, if the truth must be told, we laughed a little too when we read the’ article, but then we were more charitable than our Mifflin county contemporary, for we ex- —— William Hooba a well known Osceola gentleman died in that place Monday. — J. 8.

Quite a crowd wit- nessed the test. ——The Pennsylvania State College gles and banjo clubs passed through here yesterday morning enroute for Williamsport where they sung to a good house last night.

They will sing in Garman’s opera house here, on next Wednesday evening, April 4th, and by that time they will doubtless have greatly improved by reason of the practice and assurance they will get by appearance elsewhere.

She is said to be the richest womar in the world. She was not in the Pullman car, but comfortably curled up on a seat in the ladies car taking a nap. She looks to be a woman of sixty-five, with strong features and gray hair. An ele- gant fur coat occupied half the seat and on its rich fulds her head rested in peace- ful slumber. She issaid to be worth $60,000,000, but it is impossible to get the exact amount, as her time is taken up in dodging the income tax collectors of New York. She has. been a great gpeculator in stocks in her time and hss always made money. One of the ex- press companies wanted four hundred dollars to carry a package of bonds from New York to Philadelphia for her some time ago, ro she put them in a satchel and took them over herself, at a cost of four dollars car fare. Her business in Kune was to look after some oil lands she purchased some years ago. MARRIAGE Licenses.—Issued dur- ing the past week—Taken from the docket. William E.
