| TaE LogaN BALL.-—About the swel
lest looking fellows who have been seen
on our streets for a long time mnde
| their appearance on Monday nicht.
{ They were the Logans, parading before
| opening their annual New Years eve
i ball and as they marched through the
streets round after round of applause
| greeted them, and why ? Simply be-
| cause they looked so fine. Theold red
fire-men’s shirt was covered with a
bandsome light tan overcoat, that
reached clear to their heels, they wore
big leathern helmets and beits that
matched the cloth in their coats and
made a striking appearance in the glare
of the red and blue fire that burned all
along the line of the parade. Meyer's
band headed it, then came the steamer,
drawn by four horses, then the Lignans,
forty strong, followed by the book and
ladder truck, drawn by a matched team
of greys. The Coleville band brought
up the rear.
The night was too cold for the bands
but the firemen were happy all the
same, conscious of their good louks
The line of march ended at the Armory
where the ball was held. A larger
crowd than was present that night has
never before attended a firemen’s dance
in this piace and a good time was the
return for everyone. The dance was a
success financially and socially and the
order was especially noteworthy for
having been so good.
The new outfit of the Logans con-
sists of long tan colored coats slashed to
the waist, three rows of silver buttons in
front and silver buttons at top of skirt ;
fatigue caps of same cloth with ¢Lo-
gan’’ across front in small silver letters ;
leather helmets and belts to match.
The outfit is decidedly swell in its ap-
pearance and is one the Logans know
how to sport.
A Harpy Day vor REV. Or1r.—On0
Christmas day Rev E. F. Ou, of the
Port Matilda United Brethren church,
was visited by about sixty of the mem-
bers and friends of his Stormstown
charge and such a surprise as they had
in store for him he little dreamed of.
The party arrived at the parsonage in
the morning and what, with their dio-
ner carried with them and a merry
humor beaming on every countenance,
more could have been wanted to
make a happy day of it.
As a gift to thoir beloved pastor they
presented a complete outfit of
clothing and other articles to the value
of $80. The offering was made by
by Rev. J. F. Tallhelm, of the Mt.
Union charge, who happened to be
present that day and Rev. Ott’s re-
sponse was full of his heartfelt appre-
ciation of the friendship evidenced in
that surprise. After singing the Dox-
ology the party sat down to dinner,
which was one of the most cheerful and
happily served meals in all the world
where Christmas day is observed as
observe it.
Among the ladies who were instru-
mental ip arranging the party that so
gladdened the heart of their faithful
pastor were: Mrs. A. D. and Mrs.
Davis Gummo, Miss Minnie Gummo,
Miss Grace Rumberger, Mrs. Elmer
and Mrs. James Clark and Mrs. Mollie
Matts. The Port Matilda band was
present and dispensed some fine music
and it is the wish of the good min-
ister and his estimable family that he
may often receive such visits.

Tae WHEELMEN AT A BANQUET.—
The Bellefonte Wheelmen will all have
the gout so bad next spring that none of
them will be able to pedal their wheels
unless a halt is called to the high living
they have been treating themselves to
lately.
Their latest spread was at the Brock-
erhoff house, last Thursday night, where
the dining rooms were a picture of ar-
tistic beauty and the tables set in a man-
ner calculated to captivate the eye of
most any one. J. M. Neubauer, the
proprietor, had fairly outdone himself in
the effort to make the affair a success
and that he succeeded was best read on
the countenances of the wheelmen when
they left the hotel about midnight.
Every one was delighted, the menu for
the banquet being the most interesting
of course and the dainties that were
served more than pleased those who par-
took of them. Twelve courses 1n all
before the toasts were proposed, and
with the latter done the wheslmen had
concluded the biggest night of their lives,
so far as banquetting is concerned.
Covers had been laid for thirty-six,
but a number of absences reduced the
number to twenty four, with representa-
tives of the press.

——A railroad engineer named

up with so he did it, but later nearly
burned up when the lamp set fire to the
bed clothes.
——At Lock Haven, on Monday

Early last Fall the WATCHMAN an-
nounced to its readers that there was a
possibility of the old car shops property,
in this place, being sold to the well-
known firm of Jenkins & Lingle,

they held on their old shops on Race
street having expired the firm made
negotiations which have resulted in the
purchase of exactly half of the car shops
property. On the part they now own
stands the brick foundry and machine
ghop buildings into which they com-
menced moving Wednesday morning.
The new quarters are far roomier than
the old and the firm will have wore

VERY FLATTERING TO THE
AcapEMY.—The ideas that some people
have that examinations at the close of
the sessions at the Bellefonte Academy
are not good criterions of the results ob-
tained by scholars in attendance at that
institution, were proved decidedly in-
correct when the wind up of the Fall
term came in December. Some parents
and others interested in the welfare of
the Academy, having heard a report
that the examinations were set up and
that the scholars would be prepared to
answer only certain questions, visited
the place during the examinations and
paid particular attention to their con-
duct. In fact Rev. Dr. Laurie and
John Blarchard Esq., both propounded
questions for those being examined and
the ready answers they received
convinced those two gentlemen
that the scholars were preparea to an-
swer on all of the studies they had gone
over. For the questions they asked
them were picked from all parts of the
books and were as much of a surprise to
the instructors as to the scholars.
Dr. Laurie and Mr. Blanchard were
really astonished that the scholars
should do so well in the presence of
visitors, who were selecting the questions
for them, and both of them are prepared
now to contradict any such false reports
that become current respecting the
Academy.
