Our new township officials having been in-
ducted into office, on last Monday, we might
expect to have the very best of roads in the
near future, a condition that would be very
acceptable, as, at the present time, they are
almost impassable. -
Mr. John Bailey, a candidate for county
commissioner, accompanied by ex-commis-
sioner Henry Campbell, of Ferguson township,
was interviewing his Republican friends in
this end of the county one dayslast week,
while boosting his boom for the nomination.
From the number of patent medicine ven-
ders that canvassed our town on Tuesday and
judging from their unlimited testimonials as
to the curative properties of their medicines
one would believe that there should be no
farther use for undertakers, as each and every
agent guaranteed to cure all diseases that
human flesh is heir to or refund money.
At a strictly private ceremony Rev. G. P.
Sarvis united Mr. Alfred Eves, of Half-moon,
and Miss Florina Finke, daughter of Mr.
Martin Finke of this place, in marriage. After
the wedding a calithumpian band marched to
the home of the bride where @hé couple were
given a regular old fashioned serenade. It |°
had the desired effect for the brideand groom
came forth and were wished much happiness
by the crowd.
Rev. Downing, of Altoona, who has been
pastor of the Baptist congregation in this
place, as well as a trusted book-keeper in the
motive department of the rail road shops at
Altoona, has severered his pastoral and busi-
ness relations here to go to Canada, where he
will go in business with one of his sons, who
is a resident there. Rev. Downing is a true
christian gentleman who will be missed by a
host of warm friends in this neighborhood.
Spring Mills.
I am informed that R. G. Kennelly and wife
are engaged for the Keller hotel at Bellefonte,
They expect to leave here about April 1st.
On April 18 Ezra Auman takes possession
of the roller mill located at Farmers' Mills.
The mill belongs to the estate of J. B. Fisher,
and has just been fitted up with all the latest
improvements.
Rev. Hoch of the Evangelical church
(Dubbsite) received a ew visitor a week ago—
a regular boarder. The young miss has been
the recipient of quite a number of little re-
membrances—in the way of divers gentle
hugs and kisses. The Reverend is very proud
of the acquisition to his family.
We are left as regards to houses, and so will
be “quite a number of families this spring.
There will be considerable moving on the 1st
prox. and where they will move to, isa ques-
tion not easily answered. We could fill a dozen
houses if,we had them. Several parties from
a distance were here to rent houses, but of
course were unsuccessful.
Political candidates are now on the move
and like the ghost in Hamlet will not down.
8everal candidates have been in our neighbor-
hood seeking ola friends and making new
ones, and taking a general view of the political
horizon. Fred Kurtz, the well known editor
of Centre Hall and candidate for treasurer of
Centre county, made a hasty visit to our town
last week. Mr. Kurtz, is quite popular in this
section of the county and is highly spoken of
Other candidates are announced, who are not
without influential friends here, and might be
regarded as strong competitors. Of these
gentlemen I will speak hereafter. Political
gossip is beginning to run tolerably high.
Howard Rossman, one of our active, ener-
getic young men, and by the way, the very ef-
ticient clerk of C. P. Long (candidate for coun
ty treasurer) was about half sick this week, no
doubt a slight attack of the grippe, but is on
regular duty again, in fact, was hardly off. Mr.
R. is one of our live men and is never satis-
fied unless able to attend to business, or be
about the store. Of course he finds a little
time to discuss polins, but never allows it to
interfere with his duties or business. He is
one of the “unterrified,” a Democrat without
any ifs or buts. =
Dr. J. F. Alexander Honored.
On His Return to Centre Hall from California
Dr. Alerander.was Given an Ovation.
Dr. J. F. Alexander returned from Los
Angeles Friday of last week. He was a resi-
dent of the Pacific coast State for three years,
his object in going there being to enjoy the
climate peculiar in that region, which he
deemed healthful to himself and two daugh-
ters. His return to this place is permanent ;
he will again occupy his old home and ad-
minister to those in need of a physician.
Saturday night the doctor was given a
banquet at the Centre Hall hotel. A table
of forty covers was surrounded by as many
jolly and happy souls. Each one cast aside
cares of the world for an evening, and brought
to the front his best social qualities. 'Squire
W. B. Mingle acted the part of toast-master
and in a spirited manner spoke of the pleasure
it afforded him and everyone else to have
his trusted friend in their midst.
Prof. E.J. Wolf welcomed the much respect.
ed physician in an excellent impromptu ad-
dress, spoke of the former success in the prac-
tice of his profession ; the confidence placed
by the rank and file of the people in his abil-
ities, and prophesied a continuation of this
trust.
Prof. W. A, Krise expressed the sentiments
of the community in his remarks upon the de.
parture of Dr. W. A. MecGheahon. He said the
doctor was not only an able professional man
but also an excellent citizen and vouched that
the best wishes of all the people went with
him to his new field ot labor.
Dr. Alexander thanked all for their kindness
shown him in the past and present and as.
sured them of his appreciation of it. He said
he would endeavor to render his customers the
best possible services.
In a neat and becoming manner Dr. Mec.
Gheehon told how well he had been treated
personally and supported professionally during
his practice here and regretted {o leave his
many friends.
“Medical science—past, present, and future’
was the toast offered by S, W. Smith, including
a series of compliments to the honored guest.
“Borough government and the future of our
borough” was the topic assigned mayor F. M.
Crawford, which was handled admirably.
C. F. Deininger presented the “Possibilities
of Cuba” in a most pleasing way.
The writer occupied a gallery chair during
the feast unknown to the banqueters, and he
can conscientio usly say Dr. Alexander was the
happiest man) that night he had been for at
least a period of three yeais.” *

Books, Magazines, Etc.’
Tur Marcu Forum.—With the March num-
ber the Forum begins a new volume and en-
ters upon its second decade. The number— i
an uncommonly interesting one—opens with
a noteworthy article on “Family Life in
America,” by the distinguished French nov-
elist and critic Th. Bentzon (Mme. Blanc),
author of “The Condition of Women in the 8
United States.” Mme. Blanc draws very in-
Prices to compete and to beat the larg-
teresting and instructive comparisons between
French and American family life,and frankly
criticizes certain phases of American civiliza
tion which came ander her observation while
in this country—such as the almost insolent
triumph of youth, the boldly advertised domi-
nation of woman, the effacement of parents
and their lack of authority over their children
the liberty of the American girl and her con.
tempt of marriage, flirtation, etc.,—and she
sympathizes with the American father who
works in harness at home, while his family
passes years in Europe leading that purely
worldly lifes which the American colony in
Paris exhibits, under the pretext thai travel-
ing develops the young people. Neverthe:
less, with certain reservations, which she
mentions in her article, Mme. Blane declares
that she shall be delighted to see French
family life become more and more Ameri-
canized. It also contains “The Nicaragua
Canal an Impracticable Scheme,” by Joseph
Nimmo, Jr., who contends that the schema,
from a commercial point of view, is impracti.
cable, and characterizes it as one of the flimsi.
est chimeras that have ever gained human
credence. There are many other articles,
timely and by eminent men. :
Ovursipe many art features, ever superabun-
dant and grand in this publication, the Month -
ly Illustrator and Home and Counfry, New
York, for March, is a magazine of special ex-
cellence. Perhaps nothing it containg, how-
ever, will interest a greater number of people
than an added new department in this num-
ber entitled “The People’s Forum.” In this
are discussed “The New Electric Pholo-
graphy,” by Park Benjamin ; “Public High
Schools,” by William Hemstreet ;; “The Pop-
ular Bond Issue,” by Joseph W.Kay, and “The
New Revolution,” by Arthur Somers.
Each of these subjects is treated in a pop-
ular, an original way, and all are timely. An
added merit is their brevity. Especially is
this true of the one which Mr. Park Benjamin,
the well-known scientist, has selected. The
subject of the Xrays is one which agitates
the public mind the wide world over, and any
thing which makes their cause and effect
more intelligible, to common every.day peo-
ple is acceptable. In language vo simple that
a child may read and understand it, Mr
Benjamin explains all that is now known
about the so-called new electrical photog-
raphy. The other authors, in the subjects
they discuss, deal with topics of the day which
have more or less interest for every American.
