i ee THEY STOLE THE CHICKENS, Coops AND ALL.—The cheekiest thieves we have heard of in a long time were the fellows who visited the home of Watson Struble, who farms the Mrs. Reuben Valentine farm near the furnace, last Tuesday night. They stole nineteen of his finest hens, took an old cluck with her flock of little chick- ens, and the coop that they were in and, to cap the climax, they carried away a setting hen with the nest full of eggs that she was on and dragged one of his dogs after them. > ON THE BANKS OF LOGAN’S BRANCH.— This morning the trout fishing season in Pennsylvania opened and it is legitimate to take speckled trout over five inches in length from any of the streams of the State, unless they be especially protected by pri- vate or state restrictions. Trout may be taken only with a rod and line. The streams in Centre county are in par- for good ticularly favorable condition catches, the weather is suitable and we ex- pect to hear some large catches reported this evening, when the fishermen begin to compare notes. The experts are using black-worms for bait, while the horde that | lines both sides of Spring Creek, Logan’s Branch and Buffalo Run, resorts to flies, sawyers, grass-hoppers, asafcetida, pow- wowed spit and anything else that some | fellow, who hasn’t anything but advice to give, suggests. The most amusing character to watch is the man who has been getting ready for weeks and has been on the stream since daylight. You will invariably find him fishing close beside an expert or a little boy. He thinks he stands a chance of throwing in over the former’s line and get- ting tangled, so that it will be a question as to who owns the fish that has been hooked, or if he fishes near the little boy he can buy his trout at a low price, for little boys don’t know him like the older fellows do and leave their catches go at a very low figure. Since every American boy expects to be President we might reasonably believe that every one of the twelve applicants ex- pects to be postmaster of Bellefonte. If they do, two of the most expectant are along the stream this morning and let me tell you right here, the wistful looks they have directed toward Washington since McKinley’s election haven’t been a cir- cumstance to the sad eyes they are roll- ing on the streams this morning. Itis not too late for some of you to take a walk along one of the streams near Belle- fonte and see what they look like this morning. If you do, just peep into some of the baskets and confirm our assertion that glassware is far more in evidence than fish. fp FosTER’S APRIL WEATHER PREDIC- TIONS.—The third storm wave of April wiil reach the Pacific coast about the 10th, cross the west of Rockies country by the close of the 11th, great central valleys 12th to 14th, eastern States 15th. ~ Warm wave will cross the west of Rock- ies country about the 10th, great central valleys 12th, eastern States 14th. Cool wave will cross the west of Rockies coun- try about the 13th, great central valleys 15th, eastern States 17th. A slight fall of temperature with showers in the northern States will occur about the 15th to 19th. Other parts of the month will experience a rising temperature and generally dry in the northern States. In speaking of rising temperature in the above I mean that the temperature will rise relative to the normal. Of course every one knows that the average temperature of April is upward, but for this April the temperature will rise greatly from about the 5th to the 28th. The general rise in temperature in the northern States will be accompanied by a general drouth in the New England States, the Ohio valleys, the upper Mississippi and the lower Missouri valleys. Rainfall of the month will he about normal in the Rocky mountain countries, the arid countries around the rim of the great central valleys and west of central Texas. Temperature in the northern States will fall most below normal during the first and most above normal during the last week in April. In the southern States the temperature of April will range near the normal till about the 20th, after which it will average high and be accompanied by severe drouth during the remainder of the month. The most severe storms of the month will occur north and south during the last week of the month. Pine Grove Mention. Michael Weaver was eighty years old on Tuesday, the 12th. . Rev. Aikens now holds the lines on a three minute nag. Prof. Heberling is closing the primary school for teacher Roush, who has been sick. Ed Myers and his mother are over from Alexandria for a day or two with old friends here. Helen the accomplished daughter of D. W. Myers, of Boalsburg, visited here last week. Farmer Frank Black is improving his place by having Albert Krape, of Centre Hall, drill him a well. Samuel Harter, of Mifflinburg, is putting the finishing touches on some fine new bug- gies for H. M. Krebs’ big spring trade. Newton Nideigh has recovered from his in- jury sufficiently to be about. While tak- ing out timber for the Oliver barn a tree fell on him hurting him seriously. George Bailey came down from Altoona last, week, to accompany his wife and baby home. They had been visiting here and at Oak Hall for three weeks and he had done without them as long as he would. Prof. G. W. Weaver and his wife spent Easter with their relatives here. The re- cent sale of his farm and the purchase of his grandfather’s place, on'Main street, was the cause of him being here at this time. Mrs. Susan, wife of W. H. Goss became so ill last Sunday morning at church that she had to be carried into Dr. Woods’ office. | From there she was carried to her mother’s, on Main street, where she remained for sev- eral days before she was able to go home. Mrs. Fred Myers was agreeably surprised, on Easter morning with a beautiful new plush couch. The day previous it had been smuggled into the house without her knowl- | edge so that her fortieth birthday would be remembered with something more substan- tial than colored eggs and flowers. Dr. L. C. Thomas, of Latrobe, was in town this week to see his sister, Mrs. Margaret Gates, who has been sick most of the winter. She and her two boys accompanied him home, where he is a very busy man for it is said that in addition to his large practice he has a congressional bee buzzing in his head. { Parson Aikens believes in the old proverb | that cleanliness is next to godliness, for he is having a fine new bath room added to the Lutheran parsonage and other improve- ments. TL. O. Meek, of the State College, has the contract and his plumber from Bellefonte is doing the work. The Orangeville, 111, Coureer of April 9th, | says that the town has gone Democratic for the first time in fifteen years. Our former townsman George W.
