The old Mexican veteran, H. B. Smith, has been seriously sick for some days and EX- county treasurer J. B. Mitchell is also on the sick list, but they are both somewhat better. Samuel Hess son of N. E. Hess is suffering from a severe wound in his foot caused by a fork prong penetrating through the Spring Mills. The Millheim telephone company as yet, have done nothing towards repairing their severed lines at this place, why not settle the dispute at once? The Millheim company have a clear case and why hesitate. The P. R. R. company evidently exceeded their au- Roland.

The boys reminded our people of the early sixties as now owned by another company. This wire does the P. R. R. company no damage, and the Millheim company had their wires eleva- ted above it. If wires across a track at an elevation of 25 feet does damage, why is it that one about 15 or 20 feet does not, yet only the Millheim wires were cut, and in doing so, the R.

He has thoroughly enjoyed his summer among his old friends and al- though he has been a resident of Kansas for 15 years, his ties in Pennsylvania are many.

Mr. Leitzell was born in Bernville, Berks Co., in 1806, and came to Centre county, when about 18 yearslof age and located in this neighbor- hood. He married Miss Julian Nossker, of Spring Mills, and finally erected the home- stead where the picnic was held. Mr. L. was the father of 13 children, 5 sons and 8 daughters—2 of .whom died in‘infancy. All were present at the reunion, excepting Dr. Charles B. of Derry, Pa., and the youngest | daughter, Mrs. Lewis Ficthorne of Manor- ville, Pa,, both of whom were unavoidably detained.

The festival held here last Saturday hy the Evangelical church, proved to be -a suc- cess, both financially and socially. It is rumored that 'Bert Poulson, expects to move to Centre Hall. We wish Mr. Poul- son success as he has proven to be an honest and upright citizen and Centre Hall may feel honored on his arrival. Through the untiring efforts of Rev. Forest, minister of this charge, the Methodists have in course of erection two new churches, at (Canada and Hunter's Run. Cornerstone exer- cises were instituted the last two Sundays, and quite a large assemblage gathered to witness the ceremonies. Visitors,"J. W. Bathgate, R. V, Wasson, L. F. and J. D. Mayes, of Lemont, attended the picnic and remained over Sunday. S. S. Pletcher, of Washington, D. C. has spent two weeks visiting his mother. Al. Kline, of Pittsburg, has been rusticating here for the last couple of weeks. Al. is a dandy, good fellow. : Last Friday night, about 10 o'clock, fire was seen a mile and a half north-west of Howard. It was the barn of Antes Confer. When Mr. Confer was awakened all the building was aflame. With great difficulty his horses were saved, also his cattle in the barnyard were suffering and making a tre- mendous roar. The hay and grain and everything except a team, harness and wag- on were burned. ‘While Will Thompson was returning from Jacksonville, last Monday morning, in the wee small hours of the night his horse frightened on the mountains and backed him over an embankment of fifteen ft. making a total wreck of his buggy and injuring the horse badly. Thompson escaped with a few bruises. Mr. Thompson had been loaded with “Ore” in the evening and dumped his load more systematic than he was unloaded. Saturday, July 18th, was one of the most gay and festive days, the young people of this vicinity have had for some time. Two of our energetic young men, William Mayes and W. R. Gardner, were the originators, and put forth every effort to the gratification of those invited. Early on Saturday morn- ing, guests began to assemble in our midst, until one hundred and twenty five from all parts of the county had assembled in Butler's grove along the banks of Bald Eagle creek. You would have thought by appearances that the parties had come to stay ; swings, ham- mocks, ball playing. fishing and boating were the amusements indulged in. Eleven o'clock was the hour set to satisfy the inner man, as they assembled utterances were heard ‘“‘a feast of the good things prepared, by the handsomest ladies of the county.” The committee had made provisions, for an abundance of ice cream fruit and ice-water, free to all on the ground. Quite a number remained until 7:30 p. m. Leitzell. The occasion was a very enjoyable one, and will long be remembered by those who participated in this—which proved to be a genuine family reunion. The ‘‘unterrified”’ in this section and I'll add quite a number of enlightened Republi- cans also, are highly pleased with the work of the Chicago convention, apparently such is the case all over the country, with possibly a few exceptions in the east. Of course Wall street and the money centers generally, do not like the platform—nobody expected they would—and then they howl and whine and predict the most absurd calamities, should its tenets prevail. Callit the flag of anarchy, repudiation and every other ‘horror,” not- withstanding that the infernal agitator and renegade Herr Most is a supporter of McKin- ley and the single gold standard, and advise his deluded followers—the scum of Europe, to do likewise. But calling names, every farm- er knows, does not enhance the value of his ; farm, nor increase his revenue from its prod- ucts. But he is beginning to discover that if : the single gold standard continues much long- ; er, he will haveno farm nor anything left— nothing but debt—he is becoming satisfied that the only salvation for the whole country is to return to the ‘‘coinage of the constitu- tion.” West and South like a tornado, and elect W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, president of the Unit- ed States, our county ticket down this way, really has no opposition. The Republicans are apathetic and entirely indifferent. They were disgusted in the first place, at the man- ner in which the Bellefonte machine manipu- lated the nominations, and then selected all the candidates from around Bellefonte and Spring township, and turned Penns valley not only down but upside down, this was add- ing insult to injury—and gave these valleys to understand that they were of very little consequence, they could do without them. Naturally this treatment soured their dispo- sitions and consequently, in this section, they will either vote with the Democrats, or make themselves conspicuous by being ab- sent from the polls. The Bellefonte machine had better withdraw their ticket and put a popular and live one in the field. We would like to have a real red hot, exciting contest in this valley. But with the present ticket, it will not afford us even amusement. ——Read the WATCHMAN.

Lyman Emerick, one of our honest and up- right citizens, is sorely afflicted with acute i theumatism. He has employed Dr. Locke of Bellefonte, and we hope the latter may be | successful in restoring Mr. Emerick, to | health. One of the heaviest rains and thunder- | storms of the season passed over us July 15th. Lightning struck and burned the barn on | Mr. Eldred’s property near Mackeyville, also ' struck a tree in close proximity to John Min. . nick’s residence, near here. William Gates, while out in the mountains, : loading bark, was struck on the fingers as by a chestnut burr, and as his team began to { prance he perceived that it was something different. A snake had been hidden in the rocks and treacherously struck him on the finger while gathering the fragments of bark. Mr. Gates at once tied a piece of eel skin around the finger, also bandaged the arm near the elbow, then hurriedly came to the valley and Dr. Huston treated it as cus- tomary in those cases. The patient had a very sore hand for a few days, but is now out of danger and attending to his usual work. Diep.—July 20th, Mrs. Philip Walters, of Snydertown ; the above had been afflicted for a number of years; dropsy being the cause of her death. Her age was 72 years.
