DEATH oF SAMUEL I. HoovER.—Mr.
Samuel I. Hooverdied at his home near
Nittany, on the 15th, of February, aged
60 years, 11 months and 15 days. He
was widely and favorably known
throughout the valley ; and the news
of his death came as a surprise and
shock to many. Endowed by nature
with a vigorous and robust constitution
none would have judged that he was
destined so soon to lay down his work
and enter into rest. But so it was,
scarcely past the prime of life, disease
fastened on him and quickly wrought
its fatal work, stilling forever the busy,
restless mind and body. A carpenter
by trade, he was sure to give his patrons
satisfaction by his uniformly honest and
conscientious work. He was remarkable
for his industry ; and his life was a con-
stant rebuke to every kind of thriftless
indolence. Useful, upright, quiet,
peaceable and generous he will be great-
ly missed by all among whom he moved -
Thissketch would, however, be signal-
ly deficient did it omit a reference to his
christian lite and fidelity to religious
duties. He was an active and faithful
member of St. Mark’s Lutheran church ;
and his example, in this respect, is
worthy of imitation.
Religious services wera conducted by
his pastor, Rev. W. K. Diehl, in the
Reformed church, at Madisonburg., And
then, in the adjoining cemetery, on the
18th, of Feb. his body was laid to rest
beside that of his wife and children, to
await the resurrection of the just. ‘Lo,
He giveth His beloved sleep.”

liams’ combined store and dwelling at

not ill grounded, for on Wednesday of

——1It is about time our people are
wakening up to a consciousness that the
dates fixed for our centennial anniver-
sary will be upon us soon and from
present indications they will find us
unprepared for a fitting celebration. The
new council should consider the matter
immediately upon its organization, on
‘Monday, and a conference should be
held with the fire companies and other
organizations intending to participate in
the celebration. Only about three
months remain in which preparations
can be made for the event and they
snow drifts have been so high in Mill-
heim that on North street a tunnel was
dug through one in order that the side
walk could be opened. For some days
the people walked through a snow tun-
nel thirty feet long, six feet high and
three feet wide. What a bonanza it
must have proved to Millheim lovers.
Workmen, who were opening up the
public road between Chest Springs and
Carroltown, in Cambria county, last
Friday, struck a monstrous drift in
which they found a horse and sleigh.
The horse was frozen stiff in its tracks
and it is the general supposition that its
driver, finding himself stuck in the bliz-
zard, left the horse to find shelter for
himself, but perished before he found
it. As no residents of the vicinity saw
any stranger it is supposed, whoever it is,
is dead in the snow somewhere.
On the farm of Adam Krumrine, near
Tusseyville, the snow drifted clear over
the top of his pig pen and for a while
people bad to walk over it to get to the
house.
The snow drifted up against Samuel
Snyder’s barn, near Centre Hall, so high
that he could easily walk from the drift
on to the roof.
During the recent big snow the
train men on the Philipsburg, Moshan-
non and Madera branch rail-road have
had much trouble with cattle getting on
the track and refusing to be scared off.
The other day three cows were killed at
one time and shortly after the train
came on another drove standing on the
tracks. The train was stopped but the
cattle could no be scared off, The snow
banks were so high on either side of the
tracks that the cattle had to be driven
several miles ahead of the train before a
place could be found where they could
get off.
Hon. S. R. Peale, of Lock Haven,
distributed four car loads of coal among
the poor, during the recent blizzard,
then tried to conceal where it came from.
Such things will out, however, and he
is bowed under showers of blessings far
of the blizzard.
Buffalo Run roads are not yet
opened for travel. Most of the driving
up there is done through felds, where
the snow has gotten so thin as to make
the sledding very poor.
Rock Mine. WILL Nor B® CLOSED —
The story published in last week’s Ga-
zette to the effect that the Rock Forge
‘flour mill was to close, because its man- |
ager, Beverly Potter, has left Bellefonte,
is untrue. Adam Waguoer will continue
to operate it ini the future as he has so
well done in the past. Mr. Potter has
gone lo Providence, R. I., where he
will be attached to a cement brick
manufactory which W. Fred Reynolds
and his brother-in-law, Mr. Harris,
have lately purchased. They have a
new patent for making glazed brick
very cheap, in fact the product of their
works reduces the price of that kind of
brick from more than $100 to less than
$12 per thousand. Albert Hoy kas gone
to Providence to accept a clerkship with
the new firm. Withal Rock mill will
run right along and notwithstanding the
Gazette said that Mr. Reynolds sold all
should be commensurate with its im-
portance.

" CHARLIE VALENTINE, NOT GUILTY.
—Alt the trial in Salt Lake City last
week Charlie Valentine was acquitted
of all charges lodged against him by old
Mr. Mulvaney, with whom he bad
been traveling, until accused of drug-
ging him for the purpose of alienating
Mrs. Mulvaney’s affections.
The story of Charlie's supposed es-
capade was published in a highly colored
account by some of the papers of this
place and now that he has been acquit
ted by a court of justice it is made most
evident that a good bit of the story
must have been false.
‘We are glad that he has been able to
establish his innocence of the charges
preferred against him, but this should
be a lesson to him to be careful as to his
companions in the future.
A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE-— Respected
Mrs. A. J. Gardner, of Howard, rounded i
off three score years and ten on last Sat-
urday and her children thought to cele-
brate the event by having a family re.
union at the old home. Accordingly
M. I. Gardner and family of this place,
Mrs. K. G. Shutt with her family and
W. R. Gardner, both of Howard, and
Mrs. R. C, Leathers and her family
from Mt. Eagle, were early at the paren-
tal home that day and spent it most en-
joyably with their father and mother.
‘W. H. Gardner, of Pittsburg, was the
only one of the children who did not get
there.
Mr. Gardner is 73 years old and we
trust they may both live to enjoy many
more such days as Saturday proved to
be for them.

ed houses for months in New York}
Chicago, Boston, London and Berlin.

and appreciative audience. A leading
