lished in this paper and our readers

his train.

Tre Erection THE COUNTY OVER. —
The results of the election held last
Tuesday in the various precincts of Cen-
tre county sre given below. ‘While a
few trifling errors may be found ; on the
whole they can be relied on as authentic,
for the returns are exactly as filed at
the Prothonotary’s office. The election
was sn unimportant one, so far as making
political calculations is concerned, for
while the heavy snows kept many voters
at home in the country districts, usually
Democratic, there was an abnormally
large poll in the Republican boroughs
of Bellefonte and Philipsburg, where
local fights stirred the voters almost to
a presidential campaign pitch.
The sentiment of the people in the
county is recorded as against the build-
ing of a county poor house, as it was
defeated by a vote of 2375 to 4008,
giving a majority of 1633 against it.
Whatever bickering and trouble
might have arisen over Tuesday's con-
test had better be forgotten. After all it
was only a local fight and any un-
pleasantness that found its birth then
will only tend to injure the partyin the
future. if kept alive.

THEY Dip Nor ABANDON THEIR
EnGINEs.—The report that the two
crews of men who left here on the morn-
ing of the 8th inst , during the blizzard
to run the train on the Bellefonte Cen-
engines at Fillmore, after drawing the
fires, is untrue. Notwithstanding that
the snow blew higher than the train,
after they were stuck, they kept up the
fires and melted snow for the boilers
until the train was shoveled out, two
days later. Engineers Jerre Nolan and
Jacob Rapp, with their firemen, were in
charge and they are not the kind of men
who quake at even such a storm as that
was. The people of the vicinity of Fill-
more were very kind in carrying the
trainmen their meals while they were
snow bound.

A CAREFUL TEACHER. —AnR incident
of the recent big storm in this county
that we forgot to mention last week
was the care Mr. W. F. Leathers, a
Howard township teacher, took in get-
ting his pupils home through the storm.
When time for school to dismiss came,
on Friday evening, the teacher saw that
it would be extremely hazardous to al-
low his scholars to start alone to their
distant homes through the blinding
storm, so he formed them in a chain and
as leader he landed the whole school
safely at the home of W. T. Leathers,
a director, who lived some distance
away. The children had to remain
there over night and most of them were
sent home on the train next day.
«OHARLEY'S AUNT.” — “Charley’s
Aunt” will undoubtedly make a big
sensation here. It is one of the funniest
farce comedies ever written, and has
won enthusiastic success wherever pre-
sented, The plot turns on the esca-
pades of a couple of college students who
give a luncheon in their rooms to a
couple of young ladies, at which the
aunt of one young man is expected to
act as a chaperone. She fails to ar-
rive, however, and a smooth-faced stu-
dent is dressed up as a woman to take
her place. From this as a starting point
springs a great series of laughable sit-
uations. At Garman’s, March 2nd.
REDUCED RATES ACCOUNT OF G. A.
R. ExcampMmeNT.—The Beech Creek
Railroad will have on sale February
95th to 28th inclusive, round trip tick-
ots to Williamsport, from all points on
its line, at one way fare for the round
trip, good to return until March 2nd,
1895. This arrangement makes a very
low rate for a trip to Williamsport, and
certainly should have a tendency to at-
tract a large number of people to attend
the G. A. R. Encampment, February
27th and 28.

—The revival in progress at the A.
M. E. church is meeting with unbound-
ed success. Rev. and Mrs. H. A.
Grant, having done evangelistic work
among all classes of people, it is not at
all surprising that everybody feels at
home in the meetings conducted by
them and that quite a number of white
people have been converted at the meet-
ings. The church never was as largely
attended by all classes of people as it is
now.
— The creditors were left in a slick
manner in” the dissolution of. the part-
nership existing between Jones & Cald-
well, Tyrone furniture dealers. After
the dissolution A. E. Jones took the
store by mutual consent. On the tol-
lowing Monday he sold it to his brother,
S. M. Jones. The same day, however,
judgments to the amount of $17,000
were entered against Jones & Caldwell.
The sheriff hurried down from Holli-
daysburg to execute them, but by the
| time he arrived in Tyrone there was
nothing there for him to attach.
——On Tuesday evening of last week
Harvey Rossman’s house, near Brush
Mountain, four miles east of Centre
Hall, took fire from a defective flue and
burned to the ground. Mr. and Mrs.
Rossman were at the barn when they
discovered the smoke issuing from the
house. Thinking of his five year old boy,
who was lying sick on a lounge in the
house, Mr. Rossman hastened to his
rescue. He was not too soon either for
when he found the child under the
lounge the smoke almost suffocated him
before he could get out of the house.
The boy was unconscious but soon re-
covered.

Wit, TRUCKENMILLER.
I have just received your letter, Kate,
And my eyes are dim with tears,
As memory recalls again
The happy byegone years.
Again I see, embowered in trees,
The dear old pleasant home,
Whose door swung ever open wid=
To welcome all who come.
1 see your father’s pleasant face,
Your brothers, one and all;
And down the dim aisles of the past
I hear their voices call.
I see your willowy, girlish form,
Your well remembered face ;
I hear your happy laughter ring
About the dear old place.
You tell me all are scattered now
That one, alas ! is dead,
Rests in the silent village now,
The sod above him spread.
Comfort ; "tis but the form of clay
That rests beneath the sod
Himself, the gentle, kindly soul,
Is safe at home with God.
And those who now are scattered far,
Sometime shall cease to roam,
And ali shall reunited be
With him in that fair home.

THE GRANGERS HAVING A Goop
TiME.—The members of the Beech
Creek grange have been enjoying them-
selves this winter in consequence of the
fine sleighing. For the last six weeks
they have been visiting the different
members. Nearly every night some
| twenty or more of them surprise a
brother and spend a jolly evening with
him and his family. Games and lots of
refreshments combine to make a good
time for sll. Last Tuesday evening
they beseiged James Wilson, at Blanch-
ard, and there the usual program was
changed and Chas. Snyder was engaged
to entertain the party with his phono-
graph. This he did to the great delight
of all present. These fraternal visits are
certainly most enjoyable and promote a
feeling of good fellowship among the
grangers.
Dats oF Mr. H. H. VANDYKE.—

H. VanDyke, of Lock Haven, a promi-
