——The fruit evaporating plant at Cen-
tre Hall is in full operation. It gives em-
ployment to about one half dozen persons,
and is operated both day and night.

——While playing on the trestle in the
rear of Peter Keichline’s cigar store, last
Saturday, Eddie Thompson (colored) fell
into the race. Just as he was sinking for
the third time Sidney Barlet plunged into
the water and rescued the lad.
——The death of Mrs. Mary Hough-
awout, widow of the Rev. J. W. Hough-
awout, was announced as occurring at Balti-
more on Friday of last week, from the in-
firmities incident to old age. Mis. Hough-
awout is known to nearly every Methodist
family throughout this section. Fifty
years ago her husband was filling appoint-
ments throughout this and adjoining coun-
ties, and she, a sweet dispositioned, mother-
ly lady, accompanied him constantly.
From that time until but a few years ago,
her associations with the people of that
denomination have heen continued, and
we doubt if their is any one minister’s wife
in the Central Pennsylvania conference
known to as many people, or more favor-
ably, than was Mrs. Houghawout. Her
remains were brought to Williamsport for
interment.

——The picnic of the employees of the
Morrison, Cass Paper Co., of Tyrone, at
Hunter's park on Saturday last, was an
unbounded success. It took nineteen
coaches and one baggage car to haul the
crowd, and bring down the supplies, that
were furnished in abundance. Over one
thousand persons attended and everyone of
them, with the exception of one chap who
tried to open a bar near the grounds, went
home satisfied that the company, giving
the picnic, is one of the whitest and most
humane corporations in the State. Every
cent of the expense was borne by the com-
pany. All that was asked of the employ-
ees and their families was to enjoy them-
selves to the fullest extent. And we are
glad to say that they all seemed to be do-
ing the best they could to do it.

If you can remember that it was the
zerene catenaria, you can tell some one who
don’t know the scientific name of the
White Miller, or moth-mother, that at-
tracted so much attention a few nights ago
about the electric lights in town. We
have had these insects before, but never in
regiments, brigades or corps, as they ap-
peared the past week, storming the big
brush lamps and whitening the streets
where they fell, like a November snow
squall. Its the last time we’ll see these
millers on parade—they come but once a
year and live but about a week—and if
there is another exhibition of them this
season it will be given by an entirely new
swarm. One thing is certain, however,
that if there is one heterocerous lepidopter
left in the town, for every dozen .zerene.
catenaria, that tried to. put out our street
lights, there will not be an uneaten peice
of goods found about the place. Good
house wives, and Bellefonte is full of them,
will begin to scatter moth powders at once.
The appearance of these millers promise a
plague of moths.

CONGRESSIONAL CONFERENCE. — The
Democratic conferees of the Twenty-.
eighth congressional district, composed of
Centre, Clearfield, Clarion, Elk and Forest
counties, convened in Ridgway last even-
ing. Col. J. I. Spangler, Centre county’s
candidate, with his conferees, Charles R.
Kurtz, Pat McDonald, of Unionville, and
A. B. Hurd, of Philipsburg, departed for
Ridgway yesterday morning, accompanied
by a number of leading Centre county
Democrats among whom were Recorder J.
C. Harper, D. F. Fortney, Esq., W. C.
Heinle, Esq., W. Miles Walker, sheriff
W. M. Cronister and Capt. H. S. Taylor.
Spring Mills.
The Granger picnic being over, Lewisburg
is the next objective point—the Union county
fair.
Commercial agents report business on the
road from fair to middling. Some lines
quite good.
Orris McCormick, of our village, is engaged
in selling clothing to measure for a large
western firm and has been very successful.
Robinson & Bro., two gentlemen from near
Zion, have commenced the general hardware
business in our village, and are now stocking
their store room with quite a large assort-
ment of goods in that line. -
On Monday evening last, the “Spring Mills
band extended to our popular landlord D.
H. Ruhl and his guests quite a lively sere-
nade. The music was excellent and highly:
appreciated. The band is engaged for the
Lewisburg fair.
C. C. Bartges, one of our active citizens, con-
templates moving from our village to the farm
near Centre Hall that he recently purchased
jointly with his brother. We’ll be very sor-
ry to lose Mr. B., besides being a good citizen
he is a sound Democrat.
The boys are busily engaged in gathering
the walnut crop, of course too early. They
will not wait for frest to make them drop,
but prefer running the risk of breaking their
necks by climbing the trees and knocking
them down. A severe tumble of one or two
might be an example for the rest.
The boardwalks in front of two or three
quite handsome dwellings on our main
thoroughfare along the creek, are in a very
dilapidated, if not dangerous, condition and
should be repaired without any further
delay. During wet and stormy weather, the
expletives uttered by pedestrians who are
obliged to wade over them, almost give the
surrounding atmosphere a sulphurous odor.
Owing to the low state of water in Penns
creek, the large milling establishment of
Allison Bros. was obliged to stop running on
Tuesday last. The first time this year.
We had quite a large number of visitors
with usduring the past week. Among them
I noticed Jacob Solt, of Gettysburg, the guest
of J. N. Leitzell ; Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Breon,
of Tyrone, the guests of David Burrell ; Mrs.
Nettinger and her three daughters, Kate,
Elmyra and Lucy, also of Tyrone, formerly
of our village, guests of W. S. Musser; John
and Cal Huss, of Johnstown, also formerly of
this place ; Mrs. Dr. Stanley and sister, of
Albany, N. Y., the guests of Wm. Pealer;
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Cook, of Philadelphia,
and several others.
The statement in some of our newspapers
in reference to tho deaths of A. B. Miller, of
Mill Hall, formerly of this place and Mrs.
James Kennelley, of our village, were some
what erroneous. Mr. Miller's remains were
brought here, and not to Centre Hall, as
stated, and after services in the M. E.
church, were interred in the Cross church
cemetery in George's valley. Mrs. James
Kennelley’s sudden death from heart dis-
ease occurred on Tuesday morning, and not
on Monday as published, and her remains
were also interred in the Cross cemetery on
the following Thursday.
Pine Grove Mention.
Rain is badly needed.
J. M. Piper is happily spending a week
with his brother J. B., in our town, after a
week’s outing among the Grangers.
Mrs. Frank Bowersox and Henry Me-
Cracken have been confined to their homes
with severe attacks'of dysentery.
Our village blacksmith, Wm. Eckley, has
another mouth to feed and body to clothe.
Number fifteen and its a bouncing big boy.
Dr. H. C. Meyers, of Alexandria, accom-
panied by his mother, tarried a while
in our town, homeward bound from Grange
park.
Our young friend Barnhart Stamm has
laid aside his agricultural garb in exchange
for that of molasses slugger, up in Kipple,
where we hope to hear a good report of his
stewardship.
The last time we saw Miss Mollie Ward
she was treed on a stake and rider fence by a
vicious canine that was called off when she
went her way more scared than hurt, making
a record on her bike.
Wm. E. Meek the first time in twelve years
went to Tyrone Tuesday, brim full of patriot-
ism, to smell the reception crowd for the
troopers, but came home woefully disappoint-
ed in not having gotten a hunk of roast ox.
Mrs. Sophia Shearer, of Ill., is circulating
among Centre county friends, the same jolly;
pleasant little lady as of yore. She is at
present administering to grandmother Frye’s
needs who is slowly recovering from a para-
lytic shock.
The great big blacksmith shop an exten-
sion of the carriage shops of H. M. Krebs, of
our town, is completed, so that all new and
repair work will be completed in the dry in
the future and better satisfaction given to
his patrous.
Our soldier boys, Wm. Keller and Dave
Koch, members of Co. B, landed home Mon-
day morning. John A. Weaver, of Co. B,
arrived a few days previous, on account of
having been sick with malarial fever from
which he is rapidly improving.
Newton Cole, a Sheridan trooper, was in
attendance at Mrs.-Barr’s funeral as one of
the mourners, looking somewhat thinner in
flesh but every inch a soldier. He reports
Porto Rico a beautiful country but is not
much impressed with the natives who are
of rather small stature.
ANOTHER HOME BROKEN Up.—Mis. Belle
Cole Barr, relict of the late David Barr, died
at her home just east of town at 9 o'clock
last Friday night after a prolonged illness
with pulmonary trouble. She was a true
christian woman and had a kind word for all.
When health permitted she was always found
in her pew or at the good work pertaining to
church matters. She was born in Butler,
Pa., 75 years ago, and was a daughter of
Wm. Cole, a shoemaker at Bailey’s Gap,
many years ago. Her sisters living, are
Mrs. Anna Jordon, of Lumber City ; Mrs.
Mary Williams, of Bellefonte ; Matilda Cole,
of Port Matilda. Her living children are
Robert, of Colorado ; Mrs. J. B. Piper, of our
town, and Miss Annie at home. All that
kind hands could do to relieve the mother’s
sufferings in her ailing years was done.
Funeral services were held in the Presby-
terian church, Rev. Hepler officiated, assisted
by Rev. Black, on the 19th at 11 a. m., when
her body was laid to rest by the side of her
husband in the old cemetery.
Diep.—August 23rd, at his home on Marsh
Creek, J. Irvin Butler, aged 49 years and 26 days.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife, two sons, two
daughters, three sisters, and a host of other
friends. “Our loss is his eternal gain.” A Frienp.
