DANIEL LEYDEN. —The sudden death of
Daniel Leyden, which occurred at his home

He was a resident of this place for a
| number of years and at one time lived in
the Buffalo Run valley. Mrs. Leyden, who
was the only sister of the late Hon. Cyrus
T. Alexander, died several years ago. Four
children survive. They are James A.,

Deceased was a daughter of the late John

whose untimely death will be keenly felt
by a large circle of friends, not considering
the great sorrow of the husband who is left

——Mis. Sara Gearhart, wife of David
Gearhart, died at her home, Chester Hill,

was 80 years, 6 months and 24 days old
and at the age of 18 married the husband
who survives here. Eleven children were
born to the union, eight of whom survive,
with sixty-six grand-children and thirty
great grand-children. Known to everyone
in the neighborhood in which she lived as
‘‘Aunt Sallie’ no better evidence of her
kindly, christian disposition, nor more ap-
propriate epitaph could mark her grave
stone than the simple name by which she
was known and will be revered. So full
of meaning she was a rare woman to have
been called it. She was the daughter of
George Kephart, one of Philipsburg’s early
settlers, and a man who was employed by
Hardman Philips, founder of that town.

CENTRE COUNTY’S SUNDAY SCHOOL CON-
VENTION.—AS Dr. Kephart said in his
closing address Wednesday evening ‘The
attendance was a gratifying—indeed an
astounding, surprise’’—to those most in-
terested in the excellent work. More than
one hundred delegates were present and
the court house was well filled at every
one of the three sessions with an interested
audience. Sabbath schools have thrived
and prospered in the county for years but
in these days of better methods and greater
knowledge hearty co-operation and intel-
ligent workers are sadly needed. Some of
the progressive helpers in the cause realizing
this necessity and spurred on by the State
Association, whichis enthusiastic always,
brought about the convention.
The program, as printed in last weeks
WATCHMAN, was followed closely with the
exception of a few minor changes. Dr. C.
J. Kephart, general secretary of the State
Association, enlisted every one’s attention
and enthusiasm by his forcible, courageous
and whole souled talks. In the morning
his subject was ‘Possible Improvements in
Sunday School Work.” The methods Mrs.
J. W. Barnes, superintendent of State
primary work, set forth and advocated
were a revelation to the primary teachers
who discharge their duty to their infants
with songs and picture papers.
At the afternoon session Dr. Gill, of
State College, talked to the convention on
“Duty of the Individudl Church Member
to the Sunday School.” He gave a short
history of the work, a comparison of past
and present methods and exhorted the
members to give more time and talents to
the. training school of the church.
Mrs. Barnes, who is a natural and pleas-
ant talker, gave an instructive object lesson
in primary teaching. Dr. Laurie’s talk on
the ‘‘Requisites of a Successful Teacher’
was good and to the point. Dr. Kephart gave
a lot of statistics of the work, the purposes
and plans of the state organization which
was so effective that the committee on or-
ganization came in with an encourag-
ing report to the effect that a permanent
organization had been formed with the fol-
lowing officers :
President, C. M. Bower, Bellefonte ;
vice president, Charles E. Royer, Spring
Mills ; treasurer, C. L.. Zerbe, Millheim ;
secretary, George L. Potter, Bellefonte :
executive committee, Henry Campbell, of
Ferguson ; Clement Dale, of Bellefonte,
and E. Confer, of Boggs township. Wx L.
Weeden, of New York, who is here to
help evangelist Weaver in his meetings, did
much for the pleasure of the convention.
He drags not in time nor action but sings
out of the fullness of his heart with a won-
derful strong and flexible voice. Afternoon
and evening he led the singing and indeed
furnished the music excepting one hymn
which was sang by Mr. Eddy and his choir
from Milesburg.
Prof. Ropp, superintendent of state
normal work, gave a talk on the necessity
of his department and a short lesson of ‘its
methods. The addresses all day were all so
instructive and delivered so earnesty that
the first annual convention of the Centre
County Sunday School Association has no
doubt been a power for good in causing
many to become interested in the subject
for the first time and arousing others to
the need of greater diligence and nobler
efforts in the work.
THE CIRCUS AT DUBoIS.—The following
are a few extracts from the DuBois Express,
commenting on the Robinson & Franklin
shows, that exhibited there on Tuesday.
The monster united shows of John Rob-
inson & Franklin brothers arrived in town
from Brookville at 5:40 this morning on a
special train of cars.
A large crowd assembled in_ the vicinity
of the B. R. & P., depot and watched the
work of unloading. The animals and
wagons were rapidly conveyed to the Bar-
low & McClelland addition where four
large tents and three smaller ones, decorated
with flags, were quickly erected. The
circus ground presented an animated scene.
Over two hundred men were busy. Each
had his particular part to perform and the
work was done with remarkable smooth-
ness.
John Robinson’s circus was the first rail-
road show to exhibit in DuBois and show-
ed here on July 5, 1881, when the Moun-
tain city’s total population numbered less
than 3,000.
Many innovations were noticeable in the
parade. The motorcycle, or horseless car-
riage, ‘was the first thing of the kind ever
seen in DuBois. The drags, driven hy
liveried coachmen, containing a portion of
the performers attired in civilian dress,
were another very pleasing novelty.
At 1:00 o’clock the doors of the main
tents were thrown open to the public, and
the rush to get in first was really amazing.
The zoological department of the great
John Robinson & Franklin Bros. show is
complete and contains many rare animals
never seen here before. :
At the hour of 'two a bugle sound was
heard announcing the commencement of
the circus performance.
The programme was long and varied and
introduced some of the highest class artists
ever seen here.
An up to-date show in all that the word
implies can be truly said of the enterprise
and they can feel assured of a hearty wel-
come to DuBois whenever they “chance to
return here.

——Contractors are busily engaged in
preparing for the raising and moving of the
old Humes house, at the corner of Alle-
gheny and Howard streets. It is a difficult
job, the raising of so large a stone building
and an expert mechanic is here superin-
tending the work. The timber that will
be used, is on the ground and has opened
the eyes of builders in this section. It is
Florida yellow pine, in 12x12 sticks, some
50 ft. long, without a knot or blemish. It
is proposed to run a number of them under
the building, thereby employing about one
hundred and sixty hydraulic jacks to raise
it by a single turn of each jack at the same
time. This gradual upward movement |
will not twist the house, nor give any lia- |
bility to disfigurement.

recover damages for injuries to the business

The change in the schedule on B. E. VY. RB.

of some of our citizens, but as the PRE
Co., generally run things to suit them-
selves, they will have to travel when it suits
the R. R. Co., or walk.
Rev. Minnich, of the M. E. church at this
place, will preach a memorial sermon in the
M. E. church on next Sabbath evening. All
old soldiers are especially invited to be pres-
ent as well asthe general public. Mr. Min-
nich having served in the army over five
years will be able to give'a very interesting
sermon to the old vets.
We had nearly forgotten that there were
any aspirants for office as we had not seen
any for a week when suddenly they de-

They all pretend to be very sanguine of their”
success, and one in particular is so confident
that he has exhausted several thousand cards
and when here was obliged to write his au-
tograph on ordinary pasteboard.
The general complaint now is the dry
weather. It is almost as dry as last August
and September, nevertheless vegetation is
thriving. One of our neighbors remarked
the other day, that he had planted potatoes
one day and they were Jumping through the
ground by the next ; but we did not ask him
to swear to it, had he heen a candidate we
