- Death of a Bright Boy. On Thursday morning, January 30th, 1896, the angel of death-entered the before unbroken home of Mr. and Mrs. David Behrer and car: ried away the soul of Richard Palmer Behrer, the eldest son. Deceased was born June 5th, 1888, and died at the age of 7 years, 7 months and 25 days. His sickness was very brief he havidg been able to attend school only about one week prior to his death from meningitis, caused by an accident which happened during t he previous summer. The funeral took place from Gray's church. Interment at Gray's cemetery, Rev. Geo. Singer preached the fu- neral sermon. Richard was an exceptionally bright boy, at tentive at school, loving kind and helpful at home ; and he leaves behind him many sor- rowing friends, who sorrow for their loss but are glad at his gain. ‘‘For there shall be no pain there, neither sorrow nor death.” The school sand classmates, in a body, took an active part in the funeral services, giving due reverence to the memory of their departed friend. Spring Mills. The Re- While The vote in the township is light. publicans about holding their own. the Democratic vote shows a slight loss. Colds seem to be epidemic in our village: about, every person greets you with a sneeze, It was remarked. the other day if all the people in town would sneeze at one time the ‘ex. plosion” would upset Egghill. That's a little rough, but whether its on the peopleor Egg- hill is a question. Since the spring elections are over now for the fall contest, candidates are beginning to crop out from all points of the compass, some are highly spoken of here, while others are in. differently received, while some are heartily denounced by their own party. When the “crop’’ is about in, I'll report the general pulse of these valleys on the different candi’ dates of both parties. Up to this time, I really hear of but one or two of each party who appear to have any permanent strength. The late election passed off rather quietly here, notwithstanding we had apparently a fierce triangular contest for constable. ‘L'his three cornered battle was simply a scheme gotten up by a few dissatisfied Democrats, who were bitterly opposed to Mr. Kline, the regular nominee, and of course urged on by the Republican managers to put a third can- didate in the field with the hopes of dividing ‘the Democratic vote and electing Mr. Al bright, Republican, constable. But it proved a miserable failure. The vote as returned was Kline (Dem.) 124, Albright (Rep.) 99, and Ream (Ind.) 78 electing Mr. Kline, present in cumbent, by a plurality of 25 votes. J. F. Breon (Dem.) made a very narrow escape, but was elected school director by a majority of 2 over his Republican competitor. For judge of election D,, H. Ruhle (Rep) was elected by a majority of 13 over J. B. Heckman (Dem.) in a Democratic stronghold. W. W. Allisen (Rep.) for school director received the re- markable vote of 188, being from 85 to 90 votes above his party strength. This will he Mr. Allison’s second term. The balance of the Democratic ticket was elected: New Advertisements. J ANNUAL STATEMENT =mOF THY BROOKLYN LIFE...... INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK JANUARY 1st, 1896.

Mr. Huey has not visited here for twelve years and is much impressed with the many improvements at the College and town.

EATER, All Through Brushvalley. Miss Mumma and Mr. Charles Hains have come home. Mr. Charley Malory is very sick with pneu- monia and pleurisy. Ex-county treasurer, James Gramley, has moved to Rebersburg. Dr. Scott Burd, of Bellwood , has been among us for several days. ; The miller, Wm. Meyer, has retured to “good old Brushvalley.” Mr. Scott Kerstetter, of Rebersberg, has moved to near Huntingdon. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, from Canada, are visit- ing Mr. Jos. K. Moyer, Centre Mills. Rev. Mumma is conducting revival services in the Brumgart Lutheran church. Very many people have the grip and the doctors are reaping their usual harvest. Rebersburg wisely re-elected its progres- _sive school director, C. C. Loose, by a great majority. Mr. Jos. C. Bierly, who is sick with an at- tack of pneumonia and pleurisy, is gradually improving. From all appearances Brushvalley’s tele. phone is underground, as all the poles are ly- ing in the fence corners. . Rev. William Scholl, Rebersburg, has been called to Mifflinburg to assist in conducting Methodist revival services there. ‘The commuuity of Rebersburg has been made fairly awake the last few days by the circulation of a protest by our preachers and squires against granting license. Many people of the east end of the yalley are attending the very successful revival meetings held by Rev. Schaffer, of the United Evangelical ehurch, at Loganton. Rev. Illingsworth preached a very scholarly and philosophical sermon at Kreamersville, last Sunday nforning. It was one of the most able discourses ever delivered in our valley. - Announcements.
