very able man, popular and a polished gen-
tleman. For treasurer W. J. Weaver, of
Haines, (deputy sheriff) a first rate man
thoroughly qualified for the position and
will discharge the duties of the office with
ability and honor. For assembly J. S. Scho-
field, of Bellefonte, and Rob’t M. Foster, of
State College, have been nominated—two ex-
cellent candidates. For register, G. W.
Rumberger; (present incumbent) J. C. Har-
per, of Bellefonte, for recorder, and for com-
missioners, P. H. Meyer, of Harris township,
and Daniel Heckman, of Benner, are all
capable and well known gentlemen. The
next in order will be the Republican conven-
tion which meets on the 23rd inst. They
have material to make a fairly strong ticket,
but it is openly said, that nearly all the can-
didates have been slated and are more ov less
connected with the Bellefonte clique or com-
bine. Rather a strong assertion, but of
course there may be more truth in it than
poetry. However, in about a week the story
will be told, and then our county campaign
will be in full blast. In the mean time let
the band play.
Centre Hall.
At a recent meeting of the borough schoo
directors Prof. E. T. Wolf was elected prin-
cipal; T. A. Forman, intermediate; and
Miss Katie Shreffler, primary instructors.
The selections are good ones and the citizens
are well pleased with the work of the new
school board, with the exception that a great
majority of the tax-payers would have gladly
paid an additional tax sufficient to extend
the school term to nine months.
At the examination of teachers for Centre
Hall borough and Potter township, a num-
ber ‘of applicants failed to get certificates.
There is an opinion among the school teach-
ers that they do not receive sufficient salary ;
but when one listens to their examination
questions and the rattled manner in which
many of the correct and incorrect answers
are given, one can scarcely fail to believe
that there are entirely too many amateurs in
the business to ask more remuneration.
Two-thirds of the teachers in Centre county
could not earn the wages they are receiving
in any other occupation. Quit growling;
improve your minds and manners, so your
example may be worthy of following by the
young, and better salaries will then be ready
for you.
When the Reforms observe Children’s Day,
they do it right. The services were held
Sunday evening last, and consisted of a pro-
gram especially prepared by the publication
house for the occasion. Every one who took
part should have special mention, but that
would be impossible. However, your corre-
spondent can not pass over without making
reference to the pleasing manner in which
Miss Emily Alexander entertained the audi-
ence with a solo. Everything necessary to
make up a first class soloist is possessed by
the young lady, wha received her training on
the Pacific coast. Indeed, Miss A. sang bet-
ter than many in her audience were capable
of appreciating. Misses May Bell Keller,
Emma Kuhn and Grace Alexander recited
in an easy, pleasing manner, and each dis-
playing considerable skill. All in all, the ex-
ercises were full of interest.
FELL ASLEEP IN JEsus.—Many readers of
the WATCHMAN, to whom he was personally
known, will be grieved to hear of the death
of John Witherite, which occurred at Wal-
lace Run, Centre Co., Pa., June 11th, aged
75 years, 11 months and 14 days. He was
buried in the cemetery at the Messiah church,
June 14th, followed by a large concourse of
sorrowing friends. The funeral sermon was
preacehed by Rev. J. F. Kelly, of Wallace
Run, from the text 1 Cor. 15 Chap. 56-57th vs.
Mr. Witherite was born near Wallace Run,
June 27th, 1821, and has lived there ever
since. Feb. 20th, 1845 he was married to
Miss Mary Swagret, to them were born five
children, Alfred and Michael, Mrs. Martha
J. Furl, Mrs. M. Hall and Mrs. Clara E. Bot-
torf. Having lived almost 52 years of wed-
ded life, his death was the first in the family
circle. On Tuesday, May 26th, his left side
became paralyzed and in nine days he suf-
fered a second stroke. His wife and child-
ren all have reason for sorrow and are enti-
tled' to sincere sympathy for he was a de-
voted husband and a kind father. May the
Heavenly Father in his mercy allow the
family ties to be established where the sor-
rows of earth do not intrude, where the
church is triumphant over sin and death.
Why do we mourn for dying friends
Or shake at death’s alarms ?
"Tis but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to his arms.
