he will probably recover.

the missionary society of the West Sus-
quebanna Classis of the Retormed church

WaANTED-HOMES FOR CHILDREN.—
The Children’s Aid Society of Bellefonte,
would like to find good homes for boys—
ages from 4 to 18 years—and for a girl
whose age is 14 years. Call on or ad-

Philipsburg is to have a new passen-
ger station at last. The Pennsylvania
rail-road company has decided to re-
place the old structure with a new one
that will be 65ft long and 35 ft. wide.
The Ledger says it will be very pretty:
convenient and comwmodious.
——Dan. Diffenbaugh, a Tyrone
man, went out to watch his grapes the
other night and a little later his wife,
bent on the same errand, and not know-
ing he was there, nearly ended his life
with a club, before she discovered that
he was her husband and not a grape
thief.
——The patrons of the Standard
were regaled with an uncommonly in-
teresting drama, made up of the comedy
romance, ‘Killarney and the Rhine.’
Its plot very successfully commingles
Irish and German ideas and characters
with the result of at once making a neat
and most entertaining combination.
There is plenty of good acting, fine
scenery, song and music init. J. E.
Toole and Alida Cortelyou lead a cast
that is thoroughly capable throughout
— Times, Philadelphia, Sept. 12, 1893.
This company will play a one night en-
gagement at Garman’s, Thursday even-
ing, Sept. 27th.
——At the regular meeting of coun-
cil on Monday night two bills of costs
were presented that will draw heavily
on the borough treasury, viz: Costs in
the injunction case of Rob’t. McCal-
mont vs Bellefonte borough, which the
borough has to pay by decree of court,
and $1,000 damage awarded Jas. Solt for
injuries sustained on a bad board walk
which must be paid since the court re-
fused a new trial of the case. The
question of the ad visibility of erecting a
public building on the borough's How-
ard street lot was laid before a commit-
tee which will report at the next meet-
ing. The present council chamber is
out of repair and its owner refuses to
fix it up unless a lease for three years
is signed. Some minor business was
transacted and council adjourned.
To DrivERs.--It has often come
within the notice of the writer that
there aresome people who, when driving
along a public highway, will never al-
low another conveyance to pass them.
Now, as it sometimes happens, one per-
son wants to drive faster than another
and it is extremely provoking fur him
to find himself behind some selfish driv-
er, who will neither get out of the way
nor go faster than he is doing.
Under such circumstances it is but
natural that the person in the rear
should want to pass the slower driver
ahead of him, but when he undertakes
it the leader invariably whips his horse
up just fast enough to prevent passing
and after the attempt has been given up
settles down to his slow pace again.
The court holds that any accident
that befalls one man while attempting
to pass another, under such circumstan-
ces, is chargeable to the person who
does not pull out and give the other half
the road.
There is no sense in people acting as
some do in this matter. The roads are
public highways and one person has as
much right as another while traveling
over them, It certainly shows a con-
temptible disposition in any one who
will not leave ‘another, who desires to
drive faster, ahead of him. Of course it
is understood that one person should
not expect to pass another unless he in-
tends driving fast.
——R. B. Wigton & Son’s, of Phil-
ipsburg, have brought suit against the
Pennsylvania railroad company to re-
cover $360,000 in freight discrimination.
They are coal miners and brick makers,
——4XKillarney and the Rhine,” a
comedy-drama bristling with strong
situations and stirring lines, will be the
next attraction at the Garman opera
house, on Thursday evening, September
27th.
——The opening of the foot ball sea
son at The Pennsylvania State College
will be made on next Saturday, Sept.
29th, when the Washington and Jeffer-
son college eleven, fortwo years cham-
pions of western Pennsylvania, will line
up against State’s team. The game will
be called at 1 o'clock p. m. and will be
looked upon with much interest as it will
afford the first practical evidence of
what P. S. C. may be expected to do
with the pig-skiz during the season.
Tur PeNNsy ImProviNGg.—The
Pennsylvania railroad company is pre-
paring to improve its property here by
paving around the passenger station.
Some time ago the WarcuMAN called
the attention of the authorities to the
dilapidated condition 1n which the place
is and a move was straight-way made
to fix it up. An order for 52,000 brick
has been placed with the Mill Hall brick
works. They will be used to improve
the property here.
Union County Fair.—The Penn-
sylvania railroad company will sell ex-
cursion tickets to Brook Park,September

run between Coburn and Brook Park

Eprror WiLLiam’s 1s Funny,—The
Clearfield Traction company will have
a float in the parade tomorrow. It will
be drawn by oxen, indicating the rapid
speed being made in the building of the
road, and will contain the justly cele-
brated ‘curved’ rails, about which so
much bas been said and heard, a model
of the four-acre power house, a copy of
the proposed ordinance exempting the
company from taxation for ten years
and a flashlight photograph of the board
of trade banquet to the traction com-
pany at the Potter House last July. As
the float meanders round the corner of
Front and Spruce streets the band will
play “In the Sweet By-and by.” —Phil-
ipsburg Ledger.
SuccessFuL TrUCK FARMING. —It
has only been within the last few years
that owners of suitable land in this vi-
cinity have paid any attention to pro-
duce gardening. It is certainly a very
profitable investment if properly hana-
led. Mr. J. A. Woodcock, recognizing
the advantage to be derived from a de-
pariure of this sort, has utilized the flat
lands of his Bald Eagle farm, below
Milesburg, this season, and, notwith-
standing the May flood that completely
inundated his fields, now has about ten
thousand cantaloupes and twice as
many heads of cabbage ready for ship-
ment. The melons are a superior varie-
ty and will find ready sale, while the
cabbage and other produce of the farm
will command good prices at any time.
DaxieL HERRING'S OLD Cow.—Sav-
eral years agoa WATCHMAN correspond-
ent found what proved to be the oldest
horse living in the United States, on a
farm near Pine Grove Mills in this
county, and now another writer tells us of
a cow which is possibly one of the old-
est, if not the very oldest, of her kind
in existence.
Daniel Herring, who lives near the rail-
road station at Eagleville, is the own er
of this old bovine and according to
his sworn statement she was born in the
spring of 1861, thus being wore than
thirty three years old. Notwithstand-
ing she gave milk to soldiers, before they
started to the war, she is still supplying
the lacteal fluid to Mr. Herring's family
and there is every indication that she
will continue the work for some time to
come. Old as she is there is every &ap-
pearance of healthfulness, as she eats
good and looks sleek.

A BeavuriruL CABINET.—In a win-
dow in Joseph’s carpet store, on Alle-
gheny street, stands a beautiful cabinet
and eseritoire, the handiwork of Mr.
Louis Fabian, an employe in Lewin’s
clothing store.
It is 79 inches high, 45 inches wide
and 15 inches deep ; is made entirely of
walnut, there being nearly 400 gq. ft. of
material in it. There is a combination
of drawers, shelves, niches and a writing
desk in it, all worked together to perfect
the general design
Most of the work was done with a
scroll saw, though there is considerable
evidence that the lathe had much to do
with producing the beauty of the cabi-
net. It took Mr. Fabian nearly seven
months to complete it and then, when he
bad put all that time and trouble on it,
he presented the whole thing to the Un-
dine Fire Co. No. 2 to be disposed of as
the company sees fit.
The firemen want to get new uni-
forms and to that end they are now sell-
ing the cabinet. When you pass along
Allegheny street stop and take a look
at it, then when one of the committee
visits you to see if you care to invest in
it you will be prepared to reap the bene-
fit of the bargain offered.
FosTER'S TALK OF THE WEATHER.—
My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent from
Sept. 14 to 18, and the next will reach
the Pacific coast about the 19th, cross
the western mountains by close of 20th,
the great central valleys from 21st to
23d, and the eastern states about the
24th. Marked indications of wind and
rain may be expected from this dis”
turbance, but not much rainfall. The
severe storms of the month with great.
est rainfall were calculated for near the
4th, 16th, and 28th. This disturbance,
20th to 24th, occurs at the earth’s au-
tumnal equinox, the date on which the
equinoctial storms are usually expected,
but planetary positions this year indi-
cate that the equinoctial storms wil)
occur from 14th to 18th, and 25th to
28th. The warm wave will cross the
western mountains about the 19th, the
great central valleys about the 21st and
the eastern states about the 23d. The
cool wave will cross the western moun-
tains about the 23d, the great central
valleys about the 24th, and the eastern
states about the 26th.
