Madisonburg. Harvey Miller, who was kicked last week by a horse is not yet much improved. Mr. Winfield Crebs is still ill at this wri- ting and has strong symptons of fever. To the picnie, is the ery. Most of our peo- ple expect to be there at some period of the week. Alphus Johnsonbaugh visited friends in this section during the first part of the week. Miss Mabel Bickel from Bald Eagle valley is spending several weeks with her sister Mrs. Yearick of this place. Supervisor Corman paid some attention to our roads this week. It will be greatly ap- preciated by our people. Miss Ella Ruhl returned to her home at Mill Hall on Saturday. She spent the sum- mer on the farm, which mode of life she en- joyed very much. Louis Grimm, son of R. L. Grimm of this place -is visiting his parents, Louis spent many years in the western dominion and his old comrades are glad to talk with him again. Rebersburg. Reuben Musser and Mrs. Willis Leitzel have both been seriously ill during the past week. : This is splendid weather for the Grange picnic at Centre Hall, A large number of our people are taking advantage of the same to attend and have a day off. Luther Miller and wife took a trip to Smithtown, on Tuesday for the purpose of renting a house for the winter. Luther will teach at the above named place during the coming school term. Charles and Ed Gramley, Willis Weber and John Winters returned from Jersey Shore, to which place they had gone last week hav- ing previously engaged work. Their jobs however did not suit them, Hence their re- turn. C. O. Mallory says, ‘‘weare having a regu- lar hospital at my house this week.”” Mus. Mallory and her three daughters being sick at the same time. Miss Emma Sholl is assist- ing Cal in the nursing of his family who we hope will soon be well again. Our schools will open next Monday for a seven months term. There will be at least 150 pupils in attendance at the three schools in town. This number is entirely too large for three teachers. We would therefore ask of the parents their hearty co-operation and sympathy so that the too heavy burden of the teachers may}be made aslight as possible. Jacob Kerstetter met with quite a painful accident last Wednesday afternoon. While engaged in sawing on C. C. Loose’s saw mill east of town, he had occasion to use the axe, but instead of hitting the object Mr. Kerstet- ter aimed at, the axe struck his foot, inflict- ing an ugly wound and almost severing the large toe from the foot. Jacob XKerstetter is a brother of Scott Kerstetter, who was struck by the flag pole and who is still lying at his home helpless, with no hope of recovery. Spring Mills. Robinson and Lion, commenced the hard- ware business in’ our village ‘this wéek, ‘a want long meeded. "0 vi fl b Dr. Braucht, of Milesburg, formerly of this place, buried his infant child in our cemetery here on Tuesday last. A. Miller of Mill Hall also formerly of our village, was buried in the George’s valley cemetery on Tuesday. Edward Confer, an employee of the Spring Mills Planing Mill Co., has severed his con- nections with that establishment to engage with a large milling firm. We had quite a severe frost down this way on Saturday night last, on Sunday morning the board walks were perfectly white, and the grass frozen and almost as brittle as glass. A. Corman and Son commenced making cider with their hydraulic process on Tues- day last, on the creek road above the dam, and will have it in operation every Tuesday and Wednesday. Mrs. James Kennelly of our village died very suddenly to-day. This morning she arose as usual, and while attending to her do- mestic affairs dropped dead. Heart disease was the cause of her death. School will commence here on the 26th inst with that profound scholar and able teacher Dr. D. M. Wolf principal, Mr. Derr a gentleman of marked ability. intermediate, and Miss Mabel Sankey a very accomplished young lady in the primary department. Wm. Allison, of Allison Bros.,the extensive milling firm of our village, accompanied by Mrs. Allison who has been an invalid for sev- eral months, had quite an extended journey through the west. They left here early in June, Mr. Allison returned about ten days since. Mrs. Allison was prevailed upon to delay her departure for several days later and returned on Friday last considerably im- proved from the trip. Last summer we had very ‘‘large’ talk about a stone walk which was to be built from the foot log and run along the creek, passing the M. E. church building and end- ing at the iron bridge over Sinking creek, a distance of probably 500 feet. A sufficient sum had been subscribed for it, but after hauling a load of stones and dumping them on a heap, the enterprise collapsed. Why was it abandoned? The walk now is simply a summer path and during mild win- ter weather the pedestrian is very fortunate indeed if he escapes wading through mud less than a foot deep. The corn crop down this way will evident- ly be a very large one. Potatoes about a fair crop. In some localities they appear to be af- fected with the rot, but only to a limited ex- tent. Apples also a fair crop. The cider mills are beginning to hum and soon apple butter boilings and the drying of ‘“‘snitz” will be in order. The Republicans on the Penns valley side of the mountain, apparently take very little interest in their county ticket, with possibly the exception of state Senator. I hear very lit- tle of Stone and only occasionally of con- gressman Arnold, and I may add on none of these candidates are the ‘‘faithful”’ very en- thusiastic. Arnold promised a postmastership to about everybody in the district who so- licited him for one, a promise of course im- possible to fulfill, and naturally it has not in- creased his popularity. The party here seem to be thoroughly disgusted with their one- sided array of county candidates and have no hesitancy in branding it the machine ticket. Evidently it will not command the party vote in these valleys, except possibly in the matter of Senator. For some time it has been very generally reported, not only in these valleys, but in other sections of the country, that our popu- lar landlord D. H. Ruhl intended entering the political arena next fall as a Republican candidate for the nomination for sheriff. At the first opportunity I inquired of Mr. Ruhl if the report had any foundation. He did not exactly confirm nor deny the soft im- peachment, but jocularly replied, “oh my dear sir there is ample time to discuss that question—plenty of time, but to answer you” he quietly added, ‘I will simply say that quite a large number of my friends both Democrats and Republicans urge and advise me to enter the field, but as yetI have not determined what course to pursue, but at present I am considering the matter very seriously, and of course much depends on circumstances.” Pine Grove Mention. Jack frost made his first appearance last Monday morning. Sarah, wife of J. G. Heberling, is a very sick woman with dysentery. Reuben, son of Col. J. T. Stewart, is ill with an attack of typhoid fever. This week will see most of the corn in shock and the crop is about the average. Grandmother Fye, widow of the late David Fye,is suffering from a partial paralytic stroke but is some better. Charlotte, wife of Walter O’Brien, is sick with nervous prostration so that her life is despaired of by her family. Samuel Row the hustling agent of Centre Hall, spent several days in our township ar- ranging machinery that required his special attention and got it. Misses Annie and Jennie Yarnell took the early train last Monday morning for the smoky city, where they will engage in the millinery business. William and Martha Eckley are mourning the death of their baby girl one year old, that died on the 7th inst., after a brief illness of cholera infantum. Luther Smith and George Burchfield, two of Johnstown’s go-ahead,good fellows, tarried a day in our town on their way for a week’s outing at Grange park. Rev. Mr. Hepler says the new arrival at his house will simply share little Dorothy’s play things, but never preach. Both babe and mother are doing well. Both the old and new stone crushers are running at full speed this week, so that bet- ter roads are in sight, and taxes will be worked out before winter yet. E. C. Musser Esq., not one of the big farm- ers on the branch, but one of the best, is taking special good care of a pet felon on his left hand from which he has passed several sleepless nights. Rev. Hartsock formerly of Boalsburg, Griffeth Lytle and John Goheen of Oak Hall, after many years in the sunflower State, are enjoying a visit among Centre county friends, all looking well but somewhat older. Miss Amanda Bell, of Harrisburg, who is now visiting friends, is slowly convalescing has not enjoyed her outing from the State capitol as she had hoped to do. Joe Hoy and ‘Harry Grenoble sundayed with our old-time friend, D. H. Young, over in the lower end of Huntingdon county; where Mr. Young and his family are snugly located and the owner of a good farm and is still a shouting for Bryan. Mrs. R. M. Illingworth, wife of Rev. Ill- ingsworth, received a telegram late Saturday evening that her husband was ill at their Oil City home. She was driven to Tyrone on Sunday in time for the noon train west. His friends have hope that his illness may be of short duration. Another old veteran answers the last roll call. About 9 o’clock last Saturday morning D. S. Erb breathed his last at his home at Struble’s Station. - His death was a shock to not only his relatives but to his legion of friends elsewhere, as he had not been con- fined to bed and but few persons outside of his family knew of hisillness, until the news of his death startled everybody. Several weeks ago he started to Williams Grove picnic which he never reached. Finding his health failing he tarried a week among Dauphin county relatives, returning home a very sick man. Mr. Erb was the youngest son of the late Jacob Erb and was one of the best and most favorably known men in this section. His unasuming manner and kind heartedness won him hosts of friends. In early life he was connected in business with his father, in the Erb mill, foundry and machine shops. From 1854 to 1860 he engaged in lumbering and teaching school in Clearfield county. He enlisted Oct. 7th 1861 in Co. B 9th Penna. Cavalry and was 5th seargant. At the expiration of service he re-enlisted and was mustered out July 1865. He was a great favorite with’ his Captain Edward Savage, for whom he named his only son. March 1875 he married Susan Bloom. For a time he followed farming but for the last dozen years was engaged in the mercantile business at Struble Station, where he acted as agent for the Bellefonte Central railroad. He was a ruling elder in the Penn Hall Lutheran church and had just been elected a delegate to the next Synod. He was born in Erbtown July 17th 1832. ‘ Nittany Items.

The above named had not been sick quite two weeks, but owing to a complication of diseases, medical assistance was of no avail. J. H. McCauley admits that he is not the most handsome man in the valley, but owing to his vocation during the last month, should be called the sweetest. He has found six bee trees, assisted by his right hand bower, Hen- ry Candy. What could make man sweeter than the combination of candy and honey. The following teachers will wield the rod in Walker township schools the coming winter: Forest, L. H. Yocum; Zion, C. Bartley; Hecla, C.

E, Shafer has been very ill but at present is improving, as is Mrs. Wm. Emrick and Miss Mittie Winkleman both of whom were confined to their beds for some time. Mrs. Howard Zerby, who fell through one of the mows in the barn two weeks ago, is also improving; she was in a critical condition fora week and was threat- ened with concussion of the brain but at present seems to be on a fair way to re- covery. In Memorium, Darn or Joun B. McCorp.—Just as the evening shadows were casting their gloom over the home of Mr. John McCord, so they mingled with the shadow of death and made it deeper; for at 6:25 p, m., God in his great wisdom and infinite mercy called away Mr. John B. McCord in the seventy- eighth year of his age. he deceased was born near Landisburg, Perry county, March 14th, 1821 at which ‘place he met and married Maria Shull, in 1842. Mr. moved to a farm near Milesburg, Centre county, where he remained nine years. Later on he came to Forge Run where he engaged extensively in the lumber business, being one of the oldest lum- bermen of that region. Six years ago he came to Moshannon at which place he lived at the time of his death. The deceased was apparently a strong, healthy man until six years ago when he suffered from a stroke of paralysis from which he never fully re- covered, gradually roving worse until four weeks ago when he took his bed from which he never arose. His suffering was intense yet he bore it calmly and patiently and was courageous to the end, speaking words of comfort to those he was leaving behind, for he felt that with that elos- ing day his days work would be over. He was a kind father, and a loving husband. He was diligent and faithful in his duties, pos- sessing a generous and charitable disposition. He left behind him the belief that he was going with the “Summoning Angel who calls God’s children home.” He was the father of eight children, three of which are dead. He leaves to mourn his death a faithful wife and five children, Mrs. J. C. Nason, of Julian, John D., of Moshan- non, Miss Cecilia, of Philipsburg, Mrs. Osborn Na- son of Julian and Mr. James S., of Moshannon. The funeral took place Wednesday at 10.30 a. m. The services were conducted by Rev. Smith of Unionville. Interment was made at Beaver Mills cemetery. A FRIEND. New Advertisements. {i Paid for Life, Endowment, and : Tontine Insurance Policies.
