Sonte of the farmersin the upper part of
the “valley, delayed in getting in their
grain, owing to the wet weather, took ad-
vantage of the fine weather, last Sunday, to
haul it into the barn. According to scripture
works of necessity are not sinful.
This portion of the county was visited by
quite a severe wind and rain storm last Mon-
day. There was much of damsge done to
orchards, trees being uprooted, and a num-
ber of oats fields, along the valley, were flat-
tened quite as level as a land roller could
have done it.
We read of burglaries and robberies in al-
most all the papers we pick up, but for petty
thievery we can beat them all, as the follow-
ing will show : Last Sunday night some per-
son, or persons, went to Dory Cowher’s gar-
den, in this place, and stole all the cucumbers
and destroyed the vines. Mr. Cowher has
given fair. warning that, hereafter, anyone
prowling around his premises at unseason-
able hours will receive 2 warm reception as
he is now keeping his gun in readiness for
action. On the following night ’Squire
Weston’s garden was visited and quite a lot
of very fine cabbages were stolen, about the
next haul will be some of the buckwheat
fields.

TWENTY YEARS MARRIED.—On the 27th
of July a most joyous occasion was celebrated
at the home of Wm. H. Smith, one mile east
of town. Friends from Buffalo Run, State
College and the surrounding country put in
their appearance in such numbers that by
four o'clock the brick mansion was filled to
overflowing onto the spacious lawn. All this
time farmer Smith was plowing in a distant
field as the party was a surprise planed by
his better half and children in honor of his
twenty years married. The festive board
was spread out on the lawn under the great
oaks, and, the seventy-five guests seated
around it enjoyed a feast fit for the gods.
After supper the many usefuland handsome
presents were admired. W. K. Myers was
the spokesman of the evening, but so many
others divided the honors that he did not get
more than half a chance. As night crept on,
the guests took their leave with wishes for
many happy return of the day.
DEaTH OF HENRY R. SMITH.—On the
morning of the 24th, Henry Rossman Smith,
one of our oldest and most respected citizens
died at his residence on Main street aftera
long illness. About three years ago Mr.
Smith suffered a severe stroke of paralysis
and a second stroke, nearly a year ago, from
which he never recovered although able to
sit up in a chair. During all those years of
suffering he never complained or murmered
but bore his trials with the greatest fortitude
and patience.
He was born Oct. .12th, 1825, in Potter
township near Potter's Mills, where his ear-
ly life was spent attending school in the
winter and working on the farm in the sum-
mer.
taught school and then embarked in the
merchantile business which he followed at
Potter's Mills and Tusseyville. As justice of
the peace he was fair and equitable and he
served in many townships offices with fidelity
and honor. During the war with Mexico he
served two years, first enlisting with Co. B.
of the 7th Mo., regiment commanded by the
famous Col. Sterling Price. The second time
as bugler in the Sante Fe batallion where he
served until the close of the war when he
was discharged at Independence, Mo., Oct.
21st, 1848.
October 1st 1550, he married Mary Ann
Moyer and to them were born nine children,
Mrs. Alexander, Emanuel and Michael, of
Potter's Mills, John and William of Spring
Mills, Luther, of Johnstown, Mrs. D. G.
Wagner, of Manhatten, Ill., and Ellen and
Lowell at home. For the last sixteen years
his home was in this place, where he led a
life of peace and pleasantness. A devoted
member of the Lutheran church for 54 vears
it shared with his family the devotion and
love of his life. Politically he was a Demo-
crat firm and true to his convictions and
never faltering in his alligiance to his party.
Revs. Black and Illingworth officiated at
the funeral services at the house on the 27th,
and Rev. Rearick. of Centre Hall, preached
the funeral sermon, to a large concourse of
people, who attended the funeral. Inter-
ment was made at Tusseyville.
For a number of years he successfully
- occupied by people in an humble state.

The encampment at Lewistown was largely
attended by people from all parts of our val-
ley. A common remark among the specta-
tors, on Thursday, which was termed ‘‘Gov-
ernor’s- day,” was the little or no enthusiasm
with which the Governor and his staff were
greeted. There was scarcely a ripple of ap-
plause, and that came from a few of the
Governor's personal friends who were given
a choice location to see the review. It was
this way: Thousands of people of every
description had gathered on the hill-side to
see what might be seen on an occasion like
this; all were settled and waited patiently,
when the Governor's carriage came rolling
along as smoothly as though it had been oiled
with the Standard oil company’s product.
The horses were headed for a little band of
sight-seers who did not at once vacate, when !
a minor officer of the guard rode up. Fail-
ing to make an impression, the officer wheel-
ed his horse, put the spurs to him, and the !
steed pranced and performed all kinds of '
The !
heels of the horse accomplished his desire, |
antics with a backward movement.
and the carriage took the position, which was
not a choice one, by the way, and the writer
| ventures to say that no position would have
filled the bill except one that was already
But
tke applause did not come from the carriage.
No, there was another place reserved for the
bloods at the point of the bayonet. It was
fifty times larger than needed for the ac-
commodation of those within, but they had

It was from: this little possee that the ap- |
plause came. It seemed to be an applause of
pity and duty rather than an expression of :

shabby treatment of the highest State’s offi-
cial meant the reply was: “Oil and dirty
work.” Right.

A. Boozer, A. S. Kerlin and Walter Kerlin,
who were perched on the driver's seat of
Boozer’s hack while crossing the mountain
at 12 o'clock at night, imagined they had met
a real band of out-laws. So real was it that
Boozer felt a bullet pierce his heart, and the
elder Kerlin found the blood oozing from
under his own shirt front and trickling down
upon the seat. Great beads of sweat covered
Walter’s brow in anticipation of what might
yet happenjto him ! The hallucination finally
passed away and an investigation showed
that Boozer’s suspender had busted and the
buckle tongue was pricking him. Father
Kerlin found a broken fountain pen in his
inside pocket feeding a little stream of ink,
and Walter's brow was really only the spot
selected by the advanced guards of an ap-
proaching shower. And there wasn’t a bot-
tle of “hair oil” in the crowd.—George

street they met the real Mowery and

policeman came along and tapped the
fictitious personages on the shoulder and
asked them whether they were looking for a
lost friend and then they were glad it
wasn’t them.—’Squire John Dauberman
