place, and 1s a very charming girl.
The party was one of the most notable
social events Lbat has taken place in the
Racine WitH A Froop.-- In one
sense this might be considered a delu-
sive caption for such an article, for
when you have read it you will wonder
where there is anything init to liken
to the now famous ride of the horse-
man who tried to warn Jobnstown
of her awful fate in 1889. Had
you been in the WATCHMAN office, last
Thursday night, you would have seen a
compesitors, pressmen and proof readers
and a genuine Spring creek flood.
The heavy rain of Wednesday and
‘Wednesday night caused the four inches
of snow that had fallen the day before
to melt very rapidly. The ground hav-
ing been frczen did not absorb any of
the water, the result being that all the
emall streams in the county became rag-
ing torrents and while some of them,
notably Buffalo run, rose to within a
few inches of the high water mark of
1889, Spring creek did not get quite so
| high, yet sufficient rise was registered
to give us a real good scare.
The fact that the press rooms of this
office are only three feet above low
water mark makes a flood a very serious
problem to confront. Aside from the
filthy deposit of*mud that is left all
over fine machines and floors by the
receding waters there iz the danger of
having the regular edition of the paper
held back. Such a thing as the WATCH-
MAN being behind time is considered an
i unpardonable offense here and yet the
{ danger of such a thing is just what
i caused the race last Thursday evening.
The water had been rising all morn-
ing untii at noon it was only seven
inches below tho floors. As the WATCH-
MAN bad to be pressed that night it be-
came a grave question as to what was
the best thing to do: Hurry up and
get it on before the water should get
in on the presses cor hold it until the
flood would recede. The latter plan
i seemed impracticable, as the former did
| foolish, but because we feared the weath-
er favored a long flood we decided to try
the race ahead of it.
Everything was hustled through as
fast as pcssible, the forms were closed,
made up and put on the press by 6
o’clock, but not before the angry swish
of the muddy water was heard now
and then against the floor. The stream
had swelled until miniature fountains
spurted through every crevice and
already a little dark pool could be
seen curling about the base. of ths
beavy culling machine. All the while
the big press was turning out papers as
fast as they could be fed into it and
every employe of the office was on the
qui vive. The press could have been
operated even after two inches of water
i covered the floors, but the flood saw
itself beaten by 8 o’clock and began to
| recede, leaving us disappointed, but very
much delighted that we did’nt have
balf a dozen or more fields to shovel
out the next day. :
Tur CAT wAs SQUALLED.—A very
amusing incident happened out at the
club house of the Valentine iron com-
pany , one night during the fore part of
the week, in which a large pet tom-cat
was put through considerable pane.
Mr. Thomas has & habit, very com-
mon among others of his family, of
sitting on the sill just out-side the
kitchen window. Whether the sash is
up or not makes little difference to him
and, cold or warm; he manages to spend
a few hoursin that retreat every day.
The particular window for which this
particular cat has a hankering happens
to have very heavy wooden shutters
which are propped open during the day.
But things were different the other
night,
Puiring softly to himself and doubt-
lees wondering when he was going to
be called in out of the wind-storm Mon-
~his window seat. Shutters were slam-
ming, windows were rattling and there
seemed to-be war among the elements.
All was still about that kitchen win-
dow, until a sudden squall, that in
its furry seemed determined to
pass the great stone house un-
broken, swept around the corner
and sent the shutters of tom’s window
shut with a bang that was deafening.
Sad, was'ntit? No doubt you have
concluded that he was smushed in-
stanter. Don’t jump at conclusions, it
is a bad practice, That cat was knock-
ed clear through a larze pane of glass
and lighted on all fours in the middle
of the kitchen. His dight was broken
by two crocks and a coffee pot which
were also broken, but tom suffered not.
After shaking a few of the kinks out
of his tail ha bounded out of the Louse
and was not seen again until two nights
later, when he turned up ia his accus.
tomed seat on the window. »
: It hardly seems possible that
with such a little fall of snow there
should be any public bighways block-
aded. There are, however, a number of
roads in Centre county that have been
impassable all week, owing to drifted
snow. We have a personal knowledge
of one in which we came very near
night. The high winds dried the snow
out and drifted it in nearly all roaas

Academy who would like to be present

——St. Matthew’s new Catholic

——The people of Huntingdon are
disappointed at the action of the de-
partment in ceciding to hold a division
encampment of the National Guard this
year instead of regimental encam p-

tennial to be celebrated in the summer.
——Tyrone and Altoona are now con-
nected by the Phoenix telephone com-
pany that is springing up to rival the
Bell system. Competition is the life of
trade, of course, but the excellence of
the Bell service, both local and long dis-
tance, is so much appreciated by the
public that there will be little encour-
agement for embryo systems with in-
different service and limited points with
which communicatién can be had.

—— There are several itinerant roof
menders and claters in town this week
making repairs on a number of build-
ings. While we donot presume to say
that every property holder has not a
perfect right to employ those whom he
prefers, we do think that home mechan-
ics, thorcughly competent to do the
work, should have the preference.
There are men in Bellefonte who live
here, pay taxes here, spend their money
here and pay rent for their places of
bueiness who have every right to ask
why they are passed over and their
proper work given to travelers who have
no interest here further than to pick up
what money they can. Q

age quality of river or lake ice
