‘born of long years service on rail-roads, he PLEURO-PNEUMONIA AMONG BLAIR CoUNTY CATTLE.—For some time the un- accountable deaths of a number of cattle that ‘have been pasturing on the mountain land adjacent to Tyrone has excited the health authorities of that place. As the pasture reservations drain into Sinking creek, from which Tyrone draws its water supply, the residentsjof that town natural- ly became alarmed. Some weeks ago Dr. Leonard Pearson, state veterinarian, was cailed into that vi- cinity and found considerable tuberculosis among the cattle. Of course this was sup- posed to have been the cause of the death of these cattle, so recently, but Dr. Pear- son went to Tyrone, on Sunday, again and held an autopsy. This revealed the cause of death to be pleuro-pneumonia. et MARRIAGE Licexses.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted - by orphans’ court clerk, G. W. Rumberger, during the past week.

A MONSTER CUCUMBER.—If everything grows in Italy like an Italian cucumber we saw on Friday itis a great wondet that there are any Italians in the United States at all. A number of the Italians employed at Morris’ Armor’s gap quarries have a garden in which some vegetables, the seed of which was brought from sunny Italy, are growing. The cucumbers are the most conspicuous because of their extreme length. One of them was brought to this office, on Friday, and it was twenty-five inches long. Think what a great pickle it would make. Why such a gigantic one would do for a whole picnic or sober up a score of common drunks. All Through Brush Valley. Qur public schools will open on Monday. Orris Walker, of Rebersburg, is visiting in Oil City. Henry Smull transacted business in Lamar this week. Mr. Wolf, of 3ugar valley, the nursery agent, is with us again. W. C.

Conuoly, section boss on the Bellefonte Central railroad, from death, last Friday morning, was simply miracu- lous. The accident occurred on the Pine Grove extension of the road and as a re- sult of it the unfortunate man is now lying at his home, in this place, with one rib broken and suffering from painful internal injuries. The construction train was running up to the new work, early Friday morring, carry- ing the menand supplies. Mr. Connoly was standing on the front of a flat car that was being pushed up the track, when the train approached a temporary fence that had been laid across the rails, the night be- fore, to keep the cows in a field through which the road was being built. Thinking that he could run ahead and throw the rails away, without requiring the train to stop, Mr. Connoly , jumped off and started running along the ties, just ahead of the car. The heavy dew made them so slippy that he fell down in front of the approach- ing train. With rare presence of mind, rolled between the rails and tried to lie as flat as possible so that the car would pass over him without hurting him much. He is a very large man, however, and be- fore the train could be stopped the trucks of the car had passed over his body, squeezing it horribly. He was lying with his feet to the approaching car which ran onto him and doubled his feet right up over his head. As it was only the axle of the car passed over him, but had thesrain moved two feet further the low brake beam would have caught him and squeezed him to death. —— Two RuNxawavs.—West High street had a thrilling experience, on Monday, shortly after one o'clock, when two run- aways dashed wildly out of Race street. One was a new horse recently secured by undertaker Henry Harris ; the other was a team owned by J. H. Keperly, of Renovo. The latter gentleman is a rail-road engineer on the P. and E. rail-road and having a few days vacation he thought to spend a pleas- ant time in a trip, overland, to this place. Accompanied by Carl Linholm, a young friend, he arrived at the Brant house, at noon, on Sunday, but stabled his horses at Coxe’s Bush house stable. They were just starting home when the Harris horse tore loose from the hitching ring at the stable and upset the buggy, tearing the harness off at the same time. It rushed past the Renovo men, scaring their horses, so that they became unman- ageble. Mr. Keperly had the lines and would have been able to control them had the narrow road on Race street not been blocked by a Bellefonte fuel and supply company wagon. The runaways dashed right into it upsetting the buggy and throw- ing both men out. Then they ran into High street, where they struck John Ander- son’s sign post, knocking the sign down and disabling one of the horses. It neighed loudly when it was hurt. Mr. Keperly received a bad wrench of the leg, while young Linholm was seriously bruised and laid in Coxe’s stable some time before he was able to move. One of the Renovo horses was cut at the Charles Emerick and Henry Gilbert left our | valley last Saturday, the former for New York and the latter for the West. Ed. and Herbert Brumgart, of Wolf Store, left for Selinsgrove, last weel, where they will enter Susquehanna college. If you want to he: silver arguments listen to the discussions at Stover’s hotel, Livonia. No wonder the big apple fell. Prof. A. E. Hough and wife, of Mifflinburg, are spending a two weeks vacation with the Prof’s. father the well known lumberman, Nathan Hough. Mr. Lucas, of Bald Eagle valley, one of our Rebersburg academy students of the past, and a staunch admirer of Bryan is a guest of J. A. Zeigler. : Clark M. Gramley, our thresher man, says Bryan and Sewall crops turn out far beyond ex- pectation, just as the Democratic votes will this year. The Rebershurg grange will meet Monday even- ing and discuss “whether the farmer should study the gold and silver question.” They might just as well question the necessity of eating ? Messrs. Geo. B.,, Thomas N., and William E. Stover have purchased or leased the steam saw and shingle mill of George S. Housel and will operate for themselves in the future. John DeDong the efficient postmaster of Livonia has been elected to teach and probably will ac- cept the grammar school in South Williamsport at a salary of 875 per month. What a pity thgt Miles township permits Jher ablest teachers to’ accept employment elsewhere. ‘Verily a prophet is not without honor except in his own country.” A Brush valley Bryan and Sewall club will be organized, in Rebersburg, this evening. More than 150 men have signified their intention of joining and the silver men are not only plenty but strong. The bolters are few but those on the fence are more numerous. Plenty of literature will be secured and you can have it for the asking. In our next letter we will give the members and officers of the club. Last Sunday the Lutheran congregation were pleasantly surprised by the choir singing part of an oratorio, which is seldom heard out side of the large cities. It met with the approbation of the congregation who were likewise pleased with Rev. Mumma’s sermon on “how to get the most good out of the Bible. The entire service was up to date and rome of our other churches will have to get a move on or they will be left in the shade. The picnic last Saturday given by the young people of the valley was a perfect success. Much of the pleasure ‘was due to William Scholl for organizing and arranging the affair. To Miss Rilla Morris, Grace Miller, and Alma Gramley, we are indebted for some exquisite mandolin, violin and vocal music. Howard Krape supplied the picnickers with one of the best of organs, he only deals in first class instruments and every one returned thoroughly delighted with the festivities. Pine Grove Mention. The killing of sheep by dogs continues and so do the dog courts. . Henry Illingworth now has a little sister, who is receiving her share of her father’s affections. Mrs. Ross Gilliford and Mrs, Bigler Meek, of Altoona, are visitors at M. D. Woods’ this week. The foundation for Mrs. Maggie Gates’ new house on Quay street, is being built. Reed Bros. have the contract. After a two weeks illness Harriet, the three month old daughter of William and Harriet Eckly, died on Wednesday and was buried this morning in the Pine Hall cemetery. S. D. Gettig, one of Bellefonte’s legal lights, gave his attention to Ferguson’s voters the early part of the week. He reports every- thing booming for free silver, prosperity, and Centre county’s old-time Democratic majority. The trains are now running on the new railroad to Bloomsdorf. Sup’t. Thomas ac- companied by president Frazier passed over the rout last week with a view of changing from the present route south to the survey known as the Boal survey. This would in- dicate the building of the road along the mountain via Spruck Creek to Huntingdon stifle and has a very bad leg. It is mirac- ulous that no more serious damage was done, as the street was full of people and the horses ran onto the sidewalk before they were stopped. Harris’ horse was caught in front of Power’s store. It was not hurt at all and the buggy had ouly suffered a broken sin- gle tree. Their harness was all torn up. The Renovo men’s buggy was broken all and not over the mountains at this place as many thought probable. : On Tuesday of last week an unusual com- motion was noticed about the quiet hontk of G. Frank Miller, which was soon interpreted as meaning a wedding feast. For some time | John Stover, third son of D. M. Stover, has assiduously sought the hand of Miss Hannah Miller and upon getting Mr. and Mrs. Miller's consent hied himself at once to Bellefonte for | the necessary papers. The marriage was per- formed at the county capital and upon their up and their harness was also badly torn. ——Subhseribe for the WATCHMAN. return a splendid wedding supper awaited | them at the Miller mansion.

Our barber, Jerry Miller, has returned from a business and pleasure trip to Atlantic City. The streets are still being improved, a grade is now being made in front of the Re- formed church. When completed it will be a great improvement. : Rev. Thos. S. Lane and family of Manor, Pa., spent two weeks very pleasantly with Wm. B. Mingle. The Rev. has many warm friends in this county. Cupid is said to have drawn his bow and a wedding 1s on the carpet for the near future. The groom is a student of other parts, but he shows good taste anyway. The “front yard” in Centre Hall is a back number, and pretty porches are the rage. Judging from the many improvements made in the town during the summer, one would hold to the belief that hard times hadn’t struck the metropolis of Penns valley. “Hickory Farm” is the title of a comedy- drama of New England life, by Edwin M. Stern, that will be given by home talent, Sat- urday evening, the 12th inst, in the Grange Park auditorium. The most talented of our young people have been enlisted, and a rare treat is offered to the public. The proceeds are for the Reformed church. THE CAST. Ezekiel Fortune, New England farmer—Prof. E. J. Wolf. Uriah Skinner, a miser—W. C. Boozer. Gilbert Darkwood, handsome and unscrupu- lous—W. G. Mingle. Jack Nelson—Edwin Kerlin. Lawrence McKeegan, an older man from the city—C. F. Deininger. Detective Rankin—W. D. Shoop. Jessie Fortune, pretty and unsophisticated— Miss Grace Alexander. Mrs. Priscilla Dodge, a susceptible widow— Miss Emily Alexander. The following brief synopsis will give the reader an’idea of the play. Gilbert Darkwood, a crook from the city, has discovered that a projected railroad in- tends erecting a station on Ezekiel Fortune's place, Hickory Farm. Darkwood plots with Skinner to obtain the title deed from For- tune, dispossess him, and reap the profits of the sale. Skinner, who has a long-standing grudge against Fortune, agrees to steal the deed. Darkwood discovers that Fortune’s only daughter Jessie, is the little country girl whose head he had turned the preceding winter in the city, and induces her to elope with him. Before leaving, Darkwood ob tained the deed, and also manages to rob the Maryville bank (which contains all Fort- une’s earnings), and to cast suspicion of the robbery upon Jack Nelson, Fortune's adopt- ed son, who is in love with Jessie. In the second act, Darkwood, who has sold Fort- une’s house over his head, appears and de- mands the rent for the poor hovel that Fort- une and Jack now occupy. Skinner, who has repented his part in the affair that has brought so much misfortune on his old neigh- bors, threatens to expose Darkwood. A de-’ tective arrives and, with Skinner's help, ob- . tains evidence that Darkwood robbed the bank. Jessie Fortune’s and Jack Nelson's name is cleared of suspicion, and the farm is restored to old Fortune. The love passages of Alderman McKeegan and Mrs. Dodge af- ford a humorous little side issue in the drama. Spring Mills. C. C. Bartges, proprietor of the Spring Mills printing house, recently received an order from the east to engrave and print a consider- able amount of music. Mr. B. thoroughly un- derstands engraving and is quite an artist. D. H. Ruhl, our accommodating landlord, is never without guests at his hotel. While they discuss politics and talk largely of bet- ting on their favorites which ends only in talk Mr. R. quietly takesin the shekels. W. R. From, one of our valuable citizens, moved, with his family, to Bellefonte on Tuesday last. He was formerly one of the firm of Allison & Bro. of our village, but is now engaged in the extensive milling estab- lishment of Jackson & Co. Mr. F. isa gen- tleman we regret to lose—a sound Democrat and a “hale fellow well met.” On Friday evening last we had a de- bate on the money question. Frank Meyer, E. Williams and William Bible ad- vocated the single gold standard while Victor Royer, K. Stover and Maurice Runkle took the silver issue. But by asingular oversight, the meeting neglected to appoint a commit- tee to decide who had the better argument. The young gentlemen engaged in the debate did fairly well but they had a subject under discussion which is puzzling the ablest states- men of Europe and America. The honors of the evening were about evenly divided. The Democrats of this valley are highly pleased with the nomination of Col. J. L. Spangler for Congress. The Colonel is well known throughout the 28th district, is very popular, an able and fluent speaker and rates high as a business man. In this section of the country, Mr. Spangler stands second to none in popularity and influence, knowing the distress caused by a continuance of the insane single gold standard, he will exert his utmost abilities to reverse the great ‘‘crime of 1873’ and restore silver to its legitimate use as a monetary metal. Our valley is thoroughly alive on this question—the peo- ple are in earnest and mean business. The few scattering gold bugs in this neighbor- hood—there are no gold Democrats, for that is simply another name for a Republican, are put to their wits end to discover some means, to check this wide and irresistible sweep of silver. They have experimented with the anarchy howl, the protection nonesense and the 53-cent dollar farce—all to no purpose. The farmers and laboring men are not to be fooled with senseless clap-trap, they are now thinking for themselves, and thinking wise- ly too, that Colonel Spangler is just the man they want. Marriage.
