Sexton, of Tyrone, is reading law in the offices of Orvis, Bower & Orvis, in this place. ——A valuable gray mare, the property of Harry Shivery, of Buffalo Run, died on Sunday morning. ——George Huss, the Spring Mills shoe- maker, is going to move to Johnstown within a few weeks. He is well known in Bellefonte. The prices are cheap for the Asaph concert company in the Bellefonte Metho- dist church next Thursday night. 15 or 25 cts is all that it will cost you to hear the celebrated negro singers. ——Peter Shires, a Millheim drayman, has been unable to use his right arm since having it crushed by a piano he was un- loading at Coburn on Saturday. The in- jury is not permanent. ——Remember that on Sunday, Feb. 6th, the new Methodist church at Mo- shannon is to be dedicated with appropriate exercises. Even if you cannot be there in person a small check would prove a very acceptable substitute. ——The Asaph concert company will sing in the Methodist church, in this place, Thursday night, Feb. 10th. The company includes a number of well known negro singers, among them Mrs. Marie Morris Dorsa, the New England nightingale. ——The county commissioners have de- cided to build anew iron bridge over Penns creek at Sober, half way between Spring Mills and Coburn. The township will have to build the abuttments and keep the bridge in repair. ——Among others who have recently been lucky enough to get under the pro- tecting wing of the pension department, are Mrs. Margaret J. Yocum, of Philipsburg, who will hereafter receive $8.00 per month, and James S. Carson, of Bellefonte, who has had an increase aliowed of from four to six dollars per month. ——-J. H. Lytle, of Pine Grove Mills, fell on a curb-stone while in Altoona, on Tuesday, and broke his left arm at the shoulder. Dr. Feltwell reduced the frac- ture and Mr. Lytle returned home that day. He had taken a load of produce to Bellwood, then went on to Altoona to see his brother-in-law, O. L. Weaver. The Asaph concert company that will sing in the Methodist church here on Thursday evening, Feb. 10th, comes from Wilberforce university, Ohio. The singers are trying to raise money in this way to complete Payne theological seminary at that institution, but give a very delightful concert as their return for your patronage. Admission 15 and 25cts. —— While leading his horse into the livery stable attached to Grieb’s hotel, at State College, on Tuesday morning, Wesley Meyers, a Boalsburg butcher, was kicked on the head by a horse that was standing in one of the stalls. He was quite serious- ly injured, but after being taken home recovered somewhat and it is now believed that he will recover. ——On Monday, February 7th, a change of schedule will go into effect on the Belle- fone Central railroad that will necessitate the passenger crew’s remaining all night at Pine Grove Mills. The train-men will hardly be pleased with this change, but it has been made so that two trains a day will serve the people up the road with more satisfaction in mails and trains. ——=8. P. Hockman, who farms the Krape farm near Spring Mills, met with an acci- dent last Saturday that might have proven far more serious than it did. He was start- ing away from his home in a sleigh, when the horses plunged forward and upset the sleigh on an embankment. The ladies were thrown out and so was Mr. Hockman, but he held onto the horses and was dragged quite a distance before he got them stopped. He sustained some severe bruises, but the story that he had an arm and several ribs broken is untrue. ——John Puwmintz, a Buffalo-run Hun- garian, and Ed. Irvin, of Milesburg, met on the pike near the ‘‘red school house,’’ on Monday, and started to measure one another’s pugilistic prowess. At the first blow Irvin knocked the Hun down, then kicked him until he was nearly dead. He managed to crawl to a near-by house where he was cared for until a physician was called and he was taken to the poor house. A deep cut over the right eye, a badly contused head, a bruised arm and battered chest constituted his injuries. They were dressed and the vanquished fighter was out looking for a job on Wednesday. —— The public school teachers of Centre county local institute district No. 6 will meet in the Presbyterian church, in Snow Shoe, on Friday and Saturday, February 4th and 5th.

The list of instructors includes many who were at the county institute. All are invited. A WELL KNowN FARMER Dies SUD- DENLY.—Though Mr. James Henderson, one of Centre county’s most respected farmers, had been suffering with a cancer- ous growth in the stomach for some time, his early death was not apprehended, even by those best acquainted with his condi- tion. On Saturday afternoon and evening his manner and actions about his home, two miles west of Bellefonte, had not been of the sort to in anyway indicate the end that came a few hours later. In fact his condition of health was as it had been for some time and no symptoms of a crisis were apparent. He retired with the fam- ily, but early Sunday morning he suddenly became worse and expired almost before the loved ones could realize what had hap- pened. James Henderson was born in Philips- burg, Centre county, in 1831, making his age 66 years, 9 months and 20 days old. He with his parents left that town when he was only three years old and moved to Woodward township, Clearfield county, about four miles from where Houtz- dale now stands. There he grew up to man- hood, and with his brothers engaged exten- sively in getting out square timber and rafting it to market. In 1870 he moved up to Buffalo Run and has lived there ever since. In 1857 he married Miss Margaret Math- ers. To this union ten children were born, eight of whom are living. The names, of the children are R. M. Hen- derson, Mrs. C. L. Knox, B. K. Henderson, Mrs. C. H. Heckman, Emma L.," Mame, John 8S. and Thomas O., George and Har- ry having preceeded their father to the grave. He also leaves one sister, Margaret, living at the old homestead, and two broth- ers, Samuel, living at Bellwood, and Robert, whose home is at State College. Deceased was a son of one of the pioneer lumbermen of Clearfield county. He was a pleasant, courteous, christian gentleman, a life long member of the Presbyterian church and a man who gave honor to his vocation. Funeral services were held at his late home, on Wednesday afternoon. Inter- ment was made in the Union cemetery, in this place. li I I DIED FROM THE EFFECTS OF AN OPER- ATION FOR APPENDICITIS.—James Hughes Heverly Jr., aged 31 years, the adopted son of James Heverly, of Milesburg, died in that place on Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. He had undergone an operation for appendicitis the day before and it had been highly successful, but the condition of the young man’s heart was such as to make it impossible for him to take the nec- essary stimulants and his death resulted. Deceased was the son of Mrs. Hughes, at Axe Mann, but was adopted by the Hever- leys when a little boy. His home was in Lewistown and onlya few days before his death he came over to visit his parents. While there he was taken ill and Dr. Braucht was called in. He diagnosed the case as appendicitis and advised an opera- tion. Dr. Hayes, of this place, and Newton, of State College, were in attendance also. Mr. Heverly had frequently suffered from the acute pains that are symptoms of the trouble and the appendix was found to be perforated and a large abscess formed in the intestines. Burial was made at Milesburg, on Sun- day afternoon. KICKED BY A HORSE AND KILLED.—On Monday morning of last week John Lytle, who lived with his two sisters at ‘‘the Branch'’ just a mile and a half southwest of Lemont, was out in his farm yard feed- ing some small stock, when a young horse without shoes kicked at a calf that was standing near it. The blow missed the calf, but struck Mr. Lytle in the abdomen and fatally injured him. Soon after he was gotten into the house his physician arrived and attended to his injuries, instructing him to remain in bed, but that afternoon he felt so much relieved that he got up, and was about again on Tuesday. Wednesday he became worse and was not able to move from his bed. His condition gradually hecame more serious until his death, on Sunday. It was evident that he had sustained serious in- ternal injuries. Deceased was unmarried and about 62 years old. He was a brother of the late Dr. 8S. F. Lytle, of Philipsburg. Interment was made at ‘‘the Branch’ on Wednesday morning. I I I MRs. MARGARET GLENN. — Stomach trouble caused the death of Mrs. Margaret Glenn, an aged widow, at her home on east Howard street, Bellefonte, on Sunday night. She had been ill for along time and death was a release from severe suffer- ing. Deceased was born in Mainster, Antrim county, Ireland, November 30th, 1825, and was therefore 72 years, 1 month and 29 days old at the time of her death. She leaves one daughter to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother, namely, Mrs. George M. Tibbens, of Patton, Cambria county. H. U. Tibbens, of the Connells- ville Courier, is a grandson. Mis. Glenn had been a member of the Presbyterian church since girlhood and was a conscientious, christian woman. Funeral services were held at the house, on Wednesday afternoon, and interment was made in the Union cemetery. I Ih ll ——Mis. Cares, who was a Mrs. Tobias be- fore her second marriage, died at her home, at Mackeyville, on Saturday. Bright's disease was the cause of her death. A husband and seven sons by her first mar- riage survive. Deceased was 60 years old and her remains were interred at Cedar Hill, on Monday. ——DMis. Edward Emert died at Salona, on Monday morning, having been ill but a short time .with typhoid fever. Besides her husband she leaves six small children. Burial was made Tuesday afternoon. I i I ——John Woesner, a veteran of the Mexican war, aged 78 years, died at his home, two miles from Madisonburg, on Tuesday evening. The remains will be taken to Lock Haven to-day for burial. i I I ——An eighteen months old baby, the child of Edward Meese, of Coleville, died on Monday night and was buried Wednes- day afternoon. Fr i ——The Salona cemetery company stock- holders recently elected Miss Nancy Brid- gens and Mrs. Samuel Hartman directors of that organization, then the directors elected Miss Bridgens president of the board. a oN ——W. S. Weeden, the singer who as- sisted evangelist Leonard Weaver in his work here, two years ago, is now doing evangelistic work with W. P. Hall, the millionaire evangelist of New York city. —_— re —— Early Friday morning the steam saw’ mill owned by Kemmerer Bros., of Logan- ton, was totally destroyed by fire. The mill hands had worked until ten o’clock the night before and do not know what caused the flames. The loss to the Kem- merers is several thousand dollars. They were working on an order for 40,000 feet of lumber and 100,000 shingles at the time the fire overtook them. rie Ar mare ——Fire was discovered in the residence of Rev. G. T. Gray, in Altoona, yesterday morning, and before help arrived had des- troyed nearly all of the furniture. Mr. Gray preaches in Coalport, but resides in Altoona and at the time of the fire was in Phila- delphia where he had been in the hospital, for some time. The house was closed and Foster, his son, had gone over from Cui- wensville to open it for his father’s home coming and borrowed an oil stove from a neighbor. The stove was accidentally up- set and started a fire which rnined the house and contents. a od MADE PERMANENT RECEIVER. — On Tuesday judge Simonton, of Harrisburg, handed down a decree making Jno. M. Dale, Esq., permanent receiver of the Pennsylvania building and loan association of Altoona. Mr. Dale has been acting as temporary trustee, but upon the petition of bank commissioner Gilkeson it was made permanent. 1t is quite a compliment to our young townsman that he should have been called. to this important, as well as profitable, po- sition. ’ ee tia ATTENTION COMRADES.—There will be a special meeting of Gregg Post, No. 95, Dept. of Pa. G. A. R., on Saturday even- ing, Feb. 5th, 1898, for the transaction of important business. All comrades are re- quested to be in attendance at 7:30 p. m. sharp. Also the wives and daughters of com- rades are requested to meet in the library room at 8 p. m. sharp the same evening to make arrangements for the annual dinner on the 22nd a full attendance is requested. By order of S. B. MILLER, Commander. ——— Oe. MARRIED AT TYRONE.—On Tuesday evening, Jan. 18th, 1898, William Clifford Chaney, of Port Matilda, and Miss Effie Dickson, of Mill Hall, were married at the parsonage of the First Methodist Episcopal church, Tyrone, by the pastor, the Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs. Mr. and Mrs. Chaney will make their home in Lock Ha- ven. On Monday evening, Jan. 31st, 1898, Rev. Mr. Jacobs pronounced the words that united in marriage George Calvin Close, of Philipsburg, and Miss Emma Jane Varner, of Tyrone. They will reside in Philips- burg. tT ee CLARENCE SPORTSMEN HAVE A LIVE BIRD SHOOT.— Wednesday was about the coldest day we have had this winter but the weather wasn’t chilly enough to cool the sporting blood of the coterie of good sportsmen out about Clarence and Snow Shoe, so they just arranged a little live bird shoot to show the rest of the country that they can have fun while others are hugging their stoves. The score would in- dicate that there must have been some numb fingers at the traps out there, for all of the men are good shots, yet it is quite evident that the flying snow flakes must have been hit harder than the birds. Dr. E. J. Burd, of Snow Shoe, and W. R. Haynes and George Uzzle, of Clar- ence, were the men. Burd dropped nine out of his thirty ; Uzzle, eight ;and Bill led the string from the back end by getting seven. >> A PuBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARY AT STATE COLLEGE.—At their last meeting in De- cember the school hoard of State College borough, taking advantage of the recent laws on the subject, voted to found the ‘‘Public Library of State College Borough.”’ Accordingly they appointed the following trustees :—Messrs. A. O. Glover, J. L. Holmes, Joseph Hoy, A. I'. Markle, Profs. J. P. Jackson and Geo. C. Butts, Dr. W. S. Glenn, Mrs. L. E. Reber and Miss Anna A. MacDonald. The trustees have named the 22nd of February as book day, when the library room in the public school building will be open, and some one there to receive all books donated. : hi Friends of the movement are also asked to give money. Much interest is manifest- ed in the success of the library, and the trustees hope soon to have a good village circulating library in an up-to-date work- ing order. 7 AN ESHERITE EVANGELICAL MINISTER IN TROUBLE.—W. R. Crust, of the vicinity of Pleasant Gap, threw a bomb into the camp of Rev. J. H. Erdman, of Centre Hall, a week ago, by appearing before jus- tice Keichline, in this place, and charging the reverend gentleman with undue in- timacy with Celia Noll, of MeBride’s Gap. A warrant was issued on the information and constable Dunlop arrested Rev. Erd- man, at his home at Centre Hall, but D. I. Tressler, of Linden Hall, went his bail to the amount of $500 and he was released for a hearing here next Monday. Rev. Erdman is the Esherite Evangelical preacher at Centre Hall, where he has lived for some years and has a wife and four children. He has filled numerous appoint- ments throughout the county and the story goes that while conducting a revival ser- vice at the school house above Lauver- town last month, he met Celia Noll, a rather prepossessing looking young woman, with black hair and eyes, talland certainly old enough to know better than to do what she is accused of doing. In company with her he is charged with having come to this place and registered at the Bush house as ¢J. H. Erdman and wife’’ and having oc- cupied a room in that hotel with her all night. ; The Bush house register of January 14th shows such a signature, but whether Rev. Erdman wrote it there remains to be seen. Certain it is that when the man, whoever it was, first registered he merely wrote ‘J. H. Erdman, Lewisburg,’’ but shortly after go- ing to his room he returned to the office and asked for a spoon and a glass, remark- ing that ‘the Mrs. wants to take some medicine.” It was then that the clerk no- ticed that ‘Mr. Erdman’’ was not alone and asked him to register his wife, which he did at once. He paid his bill for the night and retired. The couple did not quit their room until quite late in the morning, but did not take breakfast at the hotel. te THE UNDINE BAND’S CONCERT. — The concert by the Undine band, at Garmans, on Tuesday night, sustained the expecta- tions of the critics and proved one of the really delightful entertainments of the season. The band has never appeared to better advantage and its numbers were rendered with a finish that was indeed creditable to both the musicians and director Smith. Its best work was done on the ‘Bridal Rose Overture,”” which was interpreted with such faithfulness as to show the Undines capable of executing the heaviest kind of music. Their performance was exceptionally meritorious when the smallness of the or- ganization is considered. Mr. C. F. Weymouth, of Lock Haven, contributed two flute solos that called forth enthusiastic applause. His ‘‘Schu- bert’s Serenade’’ afforded him an oppor- tunity to display an excellent technique and a rare tone. The ladies’ quartette, Misses Twitmire, Weaver, Moore and Rumberger, sang two selections and responded to the hearty encore which they earned with ‘‘The Last Rase of Summer.”’ “Der Lieder Krantze,”” Peter Jacobs, Louis Doll and M. Hazel, proved a popular number and captured the audience from the first. Mr. Jacob’s German solo was vociferously received. The members of the Undine engine com- pany disported themselves in a black face cake walk that proved even more popular than last year’s affair. The costuming was grotesque and some of the boys made the smartest looking wenches you could want to see. The diversion served the purpose for which it was designed and proved that the Undines are versatile, at least. Notwithstanding the extreme cold quite a large audience was present and the cordial- ity with which the concert was received was evidence of its merit. It proved a success, financially as well as artistically. sm—— ie corr eer. x . A GREAT NEW INDUSTRY FOR MILL HALL. — The business out-look at Mill Hall, that became so suddenly clouded by the rumors that the American ax and tool company intended removing the large ax works from that place to a point near Pittsburg, has suddenly become rosy again and now they are happy down there be- cause, instead of losing their most exten- sive industry, they are in line for gaining another big one. A large brick works has long been talk- ed of for Mill Hall, but the project never assumed a more tangible form than talk until recently Moore Fredericks, A. Munro and R. W. Fredericks, of Lock Haven, and J. G. Calvert, of Jersey Shore, subscribed $50,000 in stock for the start, $50,000 ad- ditional is to be offered to the public and $25,000 will be left in the treasury of the company. The Messrs. Fredericks and Mr. Munro have been identified with the Queen's Run fire brick works for years and are practical brick men. It is their intention to erect an extensive plant at Mill Hall for the manufacture of paving and furnace brick. The success of the Mill Hall brick has already been demonstrated by the product of Judge Smith’s company and this move- ment to extend the industry is evident that the right kind of clay must be pro- curable there. The proposition that the company made to the citizens of Mill Hall was to have the site free, exemption from local taxation for a given number of years, free water privileges and free drainage. It was no sooner made than accepted and now they are hopeful that the works will be speedily built. They will be located between the Beech Creek and Bald Eagle valley rail- road tracks. te -—Subsecribe for the WATCHMAN. ——J. C. Lininger is the new general secretary of the Lock Haven Y. M, C. A. He is from New Castle. i Gian nisin ——Charles Shaffer, of Lamar, aged 30 years, died of consumption, on Wednesday afternoon. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon. ee ——The Sophomore class of The Penn- sylvania State College treated themselves to a sled ride last evening and Bellefonte was their destination. —_— ———— ——At the meeting of the American ax and tool company, in Pittsburg, on Wed- nesday, it was decided to concentrate the sixteen plants of the company at some point near Pittsburg. The Manus, of Mill Hall, were present and fought the concen- tration plan vigorously, finally declaring that they would withdraw from the trust if the plan is carried out. m————— ee tep—— AT THE GOVERNOR’S.—The coming out party given last Friday night at the execu- tive mansion in Harrisburg by Governor and Mrs. Hastings to introduce their daugh- ter, Helen, into society, was a great success. Nearly all the state officials and their wives were present and guests from all parts of the State attended. The elaborate decora- tions were all in pink and white and pri- vate secretary Beitler had looked after the affair till every detail was perfect. Before the reception Gov. and Mrs. Has- tings entertained at dinner the receiving party, Misses Anna Thompson, Philadel- phia ; Nellie McCormick, Katharine Law son, Williamsport; Margaret Graham, Pitts- burg; Mary Eschelman, Lancaster; Louise Hickok, Elise Halderman, Harriet Gilbert, Mary Reily, Marion Watts, Harrisburg, and ‘Adaline Harris, of this place, and the fol- lowing guests: Mr. and Mrs. Louis Beitler, Florence Orte, M. E. Olmstead, Vance Mc- Cormick, Ross and Orville Hickok, Don- ald and Richard Halderman, John F. Weiss, A. Wilson Norris, C. D. Brady, William Wallace, Harry Bent, George Reily, Daniel D. Dun, and Miss Mary H. Linn, of this place. Mrs. Hastings wore a splendid gown of white satin and diamond ornaments and Helen, a white lace and embroidered mous- seline de soi over white silk. News Purely Personal. —Murs. George B. Brandon, of Carlisle, and her little daughter, Winifred, are in town visiting her parentsand dividing their time between her sis- ters, Mrs. Rowe, Crider and Naginey. Mr. Brandon arrived last evening and will stay to accompany his family home to-morrow. —John Budd, circulation manager of the Wil- liamsport Grit, spent Saturday in Bellefonte in the interests of his paper. Mr. Budd is evi- dently a hustler for he stirred up more of an ex- citement among the newsies here than Barnum’s circus parade has ever done. —J. W. Housman and E. E. Knarr, of Millheim, are two jurors doing duty at this term of court. The gentlemen put in their evenings pleasantly by calling on their friends and one of their calls was at this office, where they attended to a little business for our friend Calvin Crouse, of Rebers- burg. —J. W. Kepler, of Pine Grove Mills, assistant secretary of the Democratic county committee, spent part of Tuesday in this place with his friend, Mr. Reed. They had driven down in a sleigh, but when they found it getting so cold they decided that they had better hurry home to help harvest an ice crop, for which they had heen looking for some weeks. —George W. Weaver, one of the reputable farmers, of Curtin township, was a Bellefonte visitor, on Saturday. His fine home near Romola is one of the most picturesque of the many pretty places lying along the foot hills of the Alleghenies and Mr. Weaver, surrounded by his large family, leads the comfortable, independent life of a well- to-do farmer. —Hezekiah Ewing came down from Fairbrook, on Tuesday, to look after a little legal business and make arrangements for the sale of his farm stock, next month. Mr. Ewing is one of those sensible farmers who has come to the conelusion that he has worked hard long enough and intends to live the rest of his life in less laborious pur- suits. —It must have been the good sleighing that brought C. M. Sellers, of Fillmore, to town on Monday, for though he has plenty 6f good horses, a rail-road through his farm and lives only seven miles from town he hadn't been here for nearly six months. Mac is reported to be one of the best farmers up the valley but we didn’t think he farmed it down to such stay-at-home fineness. —Robert Corl Esq., of Linden Hall, was one of our Saturday callers and a very pleasant one too. Mr. Corl doesn't get to town as frequently as he did when he farmed the Shugart farm, out at the “Blue Spring.” He lived there for many years and when he did move to Linden Hall, several years ago, the vicinity of Pleasant Gap lost a resident whose departure was generally regretted. —One of the new tax collectors and one of the youngest, too, is S. H. Hoy, of Benner township, who ie determined that the tax payers of that precinct will have no regret for having made him their collector. He intends to deal with them all as the law provides, showing partiality to none, and hopes by such fair methods to have very little trouble with his duplicate. It is not likely that he will either. —G. Ward Miller, of Stormstown, was in Belle- fonte, on Wednesday, apparently little concerned about the bitter coldness of the day. He is one of the three Miller brothers who run farms in Half-moon valley, a store at Patton, Clearfield county, and ship produce as a side issue. They have a very pleasant agreement among them- selves that permits them to move around and ex- change places just whenever they feel that it would be mutually beneficial. —Mr. J. T. Lucas, of Moshannon, has been spending the week in Bellefonte in the capacity of a traverse juror. Mr. Lucas doesn’t get to town as frequently as he did in former years, but his friends here have not forgotten him so that when he does come he always meets with a cor- dial reception. He is prominent in business in that end of the county and has figured in Demo- cratic politics, having been an aspirant for the nomination for treasurer. Just now he is very much interested in the successful dedication of the new Methodist church out there next Sunday. —Mr. John O'Neill, of Osceola Mills, was an ar- rival in town, Monday night, and, finding that the case in which he was interested in court would be postponed, went home the next evening. Few of Mr. O'Neill's numerous Bellefonte friends recognized him at first, as he has grown a full beard since his last visit here. The change in his appearance brought no change in his manner or politics, however, for he is still as pleasant a man as could be met and, if possible, a better Democrat than ever. Mr. O'Neill lives at Osceola but for many years has been connected with the mines about Powelton. EXTENDING THEIR OPERATIONS, — Richard Hughes and son, coal operators ‘| in the Clearfield region, have been branch- ing out lately and now have three collier- ies working. They are supplying a large demand for -their Clearfield bituminous coal and report has it that the veins they are working are producing a very superior grade of coal. Their most recent exten- sion has been made in Decatur township, -where they have secured the Logan tract of 202 acres under which are all the lower seams and the indications are that they will have an abundance of coal for many years to come. Mr. Hughes and his son are practical miners: and have been operating in the Clearfield region for many years. The growth of their business has been so great as to compel them to reach out for more extensive outputs, but in securing them they have been mindful that the high rep- utation of their coal is not jeopardized. > His EIGHTIETH = BIRTHDAY CELE- BRATED. — On last Monday Robert Mec- Knight Esq., of Buffalo-run, reached the eightieth anniversary of his birth and so that the day would not pass unmarked by some unusual incident a party of his fellow masons from this place drove up to spend the evening with him and his family. The sleighing was fine and the cordial reception given the party at the McKnight home was enough to complete a very delightful even- ing. In the party of visitors were: John Noll, A. R. Rutt, C. P. Hughes, William Grauer, S. H. Williams, J. H. Sands, A. C. Mingle, J. H. Olewine, Frank Warfield, J. L. Spangler, J. A. Aikens, Wm. L. Steele, John P. Harris, F. P. Green, Robt. ~ Cole, Wm. Cronister and H. Sechler. SN mi Dr. COLFELT T0 LECTURE HERE.—Dr. Lawrence M. Colfelt, so well and pleasant- ly known in Bellefonte, will lecture in the Presbyterian church on Friday evening, February 25th, for the benefit of the Ladies’ Mite society of the church. The subject of Dr. Colfelt’s lecture will be ‘‘Assyrian Discoveries’”” and there is little need of our assurance that it will prove a delightful, as well as beneficial, entertainment.
