vin, of Baileyville, died very unexpectedly on
Monday morning, and was buried Wednesday
afternoon in the Gatesburg cemetery. He
was well as he could be, Saturday, at the pic-

Last Saturday evening, as Mr. Sellers and
Mr. Saxon were returning to their home in
Benore from this place, their horse took fright
at a black hog and turned the buggy over.
The top and shafts were broken off but the
men escaped unharmed to walk home.
Meade Danley, Esq., a prosperous Ohio
farmer, gladdened his mother, recently, by
putting in his appearance at the Danley
home on Main street. Although his locks
are touched heavily by the frost of time, he
is physically as sprightly as a boy in his
teens. :
Edith Harris, youngest daughter of the
late Cyrus Goss, died at her mother’s home
in Altoona, on Sunday, the 22nd, of spinal

was brought here and buried Sunday after-
noon in the new cemetery, where hers was
the first grave made.

DEATH oF REUBEN HAMMER.—On last
Sunday morning, at the residence of his son-
in-law in Altoona, Reuben Hammer died af-
ter an illness of several weeks, of ulceration
of the stomach. Mr. Hammer was born in
Germany, July 13th, 1824. At the age of 17
he came to this eountry to escape military
services, and from New York worked his way |
to Northumberland. There he became ac- |
quainted with Walter Graham, whose mail
route at that time extended from Northum-
berland to Yellow Springs, in Blair county,
and entered his service. For many years he
drove the coach between the Old Fort and
Spruce creek via Pine Grove Mills, and
many of our older people are indebted
to him for the safe transportation of their
letters and valuables.
The M. E. Sunday school, of Martha Fur-
nace, had an enjoyable picnic on last Satur-
day. Our cornet band furnished the music
for the occasion which accounts for the large
turn out.
~The members of the M. E. church of this
place will hold a festival on the lawn at the
parsonage on Saturday evening. You are cor-
dially invited to attend. The proceeds are
for the benefit of the church.
Mrs. John M. Newman, of Taylor town-

grove. The ladies had prepared a most ex-
! cellent dinner for the gentlemen, which only
| they could prepare, and which the young
gentlemen enjoyed immensely. It was a
complete success and those who were not
there have reason to regret their absence.
Last Sunday morning, Mr. Philip Gram-
ley, who had lived all his life in his father’s
home in Brushvalley, died in East German-
town, Ind., where he had been since last
April. He was buried last Thursday from
\-the residence of Jacob Kerstetter in Rebers-
burg.. His daughter, Tillie, was the only
one who accompanied the body east. Every
one in the valley knew ‘‘old Philip” as hav-
ing been a consistent christian.
Books, Magazines, Etc.
The September number of Harper's Magazine
opens with a paper on George Washington and
His wife, Margaret Miller, died June 14th,% his life during the critical years between the close
'93 and of his five children only three are |
living, Mrs. Annie V., wife of W. A. Saucer-
man, James M., of Altoona, and William H.
of West Point, Va. Mr. Hammer soon after
going to Altoona to spend the Fourth of July
was taken sick, but was able to be about the
the house until Monday of last week, from |
which time he grew rapidly worse.
His body was brought here Monday after- :
noon, and buried from his own home on
Tuesday morning in the plot in the new
cemetery which he had selected before going
to Altoona. Rev. Aikens conducted the ser-
vices, which were attended by a large con-
course of people who knew and liked him
much in the 52 years he was a resident of
this place.
Port Matilda Pointers.

of the Revolutipn and the adoption of the Consti-
tution. The paper is beautifully illustrated from
drawings by Howard Pyle and others, and a pict-
ure of Washington in his garden at Mount Ver-
non stands as the frontispiece to the number.
“A Summer Among Cliff Dwellings,” by T. Mitch-
ell Prudden, is an account of - explorations in. the
region the centre of which is the meeting-point of
the boundary lines of Colorado, Utah, New Mexi-
co and Arizona. Dr. Prudden’s theory is that the
i Cliff-dwellers were the ancestors of the Navajos
' and other village Indians who live in the region
of the cave dwellers to this day. Miss Anna C.
Brackett, in her article “Among the Trees,” ad-
vocates forestry as an attractive and healthful
pursuit for women, and it must be owned, makes
out a strong case for an occupation in which she
evidently delights. An acquaintance with trees
is not only a source of keen enjoyment to the per-
son who knows them, but it is capable of promo-
ting the general good to so great a degree that the
encouragement of the art of forestry is in the na-
ture of a public benefaction. These are only
three of the excellent articles with which Har-
, per’s Magazine for September is replete.
The Forum for September will contain an arti-
cle that for dramatic interest has probably never
been excelled. It is entitled “Fire and Sword in
Cuba,” and it is an absolutely trustworthy history
; of the present insurrection in Cuba up to Cam-
| pos's downfall—a {heiing and intensely interest-
"ing article. The author, Mr. Clarence King, has
travelled the island widely, and enjoys the friend-
ship and confidence of the leaders of the revolu-
| tion. “The Progress of the Women's Rights
. Movement in France,” and a scathing criticism
of Purcell’s “Life of Cardinal Manning” by Rev.
, John Talbot Smith, who writes from a Roman
Catholic puint of view are two other interesting
articles in the Forum.

Spring Mills,
The oats crop in this neighborhood proved
very satisfactory. Corn looks well and gives
promise of a large yield. Potatoes are hard-
ly up to the crop of last year, but apples are
very plenty.
The new road to the R. R. station is ap-
proaching completion. It will be a great
convenience to those residing in the south-
eastern part of our village, as they will have
a direct thoroughfare.
C. P. Long, our live merchant, has his
handsome new brick -residence under roof,
The building presents a fine appearance and
is charmingly located. Mr. L. contemplates
erecting several more dwellings this fall.
Quite a number of our people left on Thurs
day last for the sea shore. Among the num-
ber was the proprietor of the Spring Mills
printing house. A delightful trip was en-
joyed even with the cool weather.
: The Evangelical picnic, last Saturday, in
Thomas Royer’s Woods, was a very pleasant
affair. The grove is the most beautiful one
in the valley for a picnic. Revs. Shortess
and Rev. Wm. Scholl made the addresses.
Mrs. Susan Waite, widow of the late
John Waite, who belonged to Co. A., 148
regiment P. V. and who died in the war in
1863, died in Renovo, on last Saturday
morning, and was buried in the Evan-
gelical cemetery on Monday. She was
96 years old and her death was caused
by dropsy. For some years she had been
making her home in Renovo with her only
son, Henry. She was a sister of Henry
Scholl from whose home the funeral took
place.
The silver question is undoubtedly the
principal topic of conversation in this lati-
tude, one hears it discussed in all the stores,
mills and in almost every nook and corner
of the village, and through the valley. The
question is very much like the handle of a
jug—all on one side—and apparently the peo-
ple are decidedly in favor of it. The farm-
ers have discovered that in the success of bi-
metalliém, is their only salvation, the only
hope they have of saving their farms and
homes. They are satisfied that with the sin-
gle gold standard, their lands and products
have depreciated year after year until they
have little left. Is it any wonder that they
are flocking to and advocating the ‘‘silver
craze” as our opponents delight to call it, yet
it is a question which has crazed their lead-
ers and on election day it will not only craze
but paralyze them all. :
