A SIMPLE TEST.—It is but a few weeks
since a farmer friend, from up Buffalo Run,
was complaining of an unpleasant or im-
pure taste in-the water from - his well,
which, by the way, isa bored well over
150 in depth. What would make water
drawn from such a great depth impure,
unless its source is impure, we cannot
imagine, but can easily understand why
cistern water and shallow wells, that get
surface drainage and the accumulation of
decaying matter that may find its way into
them, would frequently become unfit for
use, and need constant watching. We do
not know whether the following test which
we have run across this week is to! relied
upon or not, but if it is, it is certainly simple
and within the power of all, to ascertain if
the water they are using is in any manner
contaminated with drainage, decayed mat-
ter or other impurities of the kind. It is
as follows: ‘‘Draw a tumbler of water
from the tap at night, put a piece of white
lump sugar into it and place it on the
kitchen mantel shelf or anywhere that the
temperature will not be under 60 degrees
fahrenheit. In the morning the water, if
pure, will be perfectly clear ; if contami-
nated with sewage or other impurities the
water will be milkly. Thisisis a simple
and safe test well-known in chemistry.”

week at the summer resorts of New York.
There has been a great deal of sickness in
our valley during the last six weeks, mostly
caused by heat.

The potato crop, in spite of the abundant
rains of the spring and summer, is but an
ordinary one and considerable rot is reported.
The corn crop of this valley, however, prom-
ises to be exceptionally large.
Peaches are rather scarce in this section of
the county in spite of the proximity of the
Weaver and Boob orchards having a crop of
about 1200 bushels. They are selling at one
dollar to a dollar and a half per bushel.
We have known W. E. Bair for a good
many years as a genial, sober, upright, indus-
trious, thriving citizen, but we do not re-
member ever having seen him look quite so
happy as he did upon the arrival of that lit-
tle stranger at his home last week. It's a boy
and both mother and child are getting along
nicely.
The ringing of the church bell last Tues-
day announced the passing away of another

ship all his life following the occupation of

died at her Water street home, at? o'clock
p. m. of the 3rd, inst., after an illness of two
weeks. Deceased was born in Lancaster
county, Feb. 21st, 1822. April 14th, 1842,
she married James Campbell Murphy, of
that city ; the following year they moved to
the home in which she died. She was the
last of three brothers and seven sisters, to
pass away. Her last brother, Simon Sellers,
of Stormstown, died over a year ago. She
was the mother of nine children, and one,
who, in her every act of life was a worthy
example of christian virtues and womanly
charities. For 50 years she was an exemplary
member of the M. E. church, and had lived
to be looked upon as a mother by the entire
community. She was buried on Tuesday
morning in the old cemetery by the side of
her husband. Revs. Guyer and Aikens
officiating. The family desire to acknowl-
edge their sincere thanks to the neighbors
who rendered so much assistance during her
illnness and death.

weeks and train on the wheel.
The machinery for the fruit evaporator is
delayed, which causes the parties interested
considerable concern. The kilns and other
parts of the establishment are ready for busi-
ness and operations will begin just as soon
as the machinery arrives. A car of apples
are on hand at present.
The usual preparations are being made by
the residents of the town prior to the grange
picnic. Fences are being removed and re-
modeled, lawns put in the best of trim, walks
built and repaired, and everything got in
order, for inspection by the thousands who
will parade the streets during the coming
week.
Grange park is being fitted up for the com-
ing picnic next week. The exhibits of ma-
chinery promise to be above the average, as
do also the cattle and poultry shows. There
will be many minor improvements made on
the ground, and an extra effort will be made
to furnish amusements for those in at-
tendance.
The borough water is a reality. Connec-
tions are being made almost daily. The
pressure is all that was expected, and with
the small reservoir finished the borough
authorities are able to furnish all who want
to attach with the chociest water. The large
reservoir will be completed before cold
weather sets in.
Rev. M. S. Derstine filled the pulpit in the
Reformed church Sunday evening last. His
discourse is highly spoken of by young and
old, and displayed ' considerable ability and
much good common sense. Rev. Derstine,
is of the Methodist faith. He is held in the
highest esteem by people of all denominations
at his home in Juniata county. While here
he stopped with his widowed mother...

grove, containing about one and one half
acres, adjoining the Reformed church. The
object in view is to secure a suitable school
ground while it can be done, aud when the
present school building has passed its days of
usefulness all will be in readiness. The se-
lection of the new site is an elegant one—
location and all included. The board fell
heir to near $100 the other day, by an action
taken by a committee of citizens who held
these funds, which were the proceeds of a
Fourth of July celebration held some four or
five years ago. A commendable deed.
C. F. Deininger, who for more than a dozen
years has been connected with the Penns
Valley Banking company as cashier, and W.
B. Mingle’s assistant, severed his connec-
tion with that institution a few days ago. He
expects to go to Philadelphia or New York
in the near future where a position awaits
him. Mr. Deininger was president of the
council for several terms, and was at the
head of the water movement that to-day is
furnishing Centre Hall with an abundant
supply of fine water. Public spirited, kind
and honest, and always on the side of the
people, he gained the confidence of the peo-
ple, who repeatedly gave him their support
at the polls and placed him in the most re-
sponsible positions of the town government.
