Madisonburg. Mrs. Catharine Fiedler visited at Zion last week. Wm. Royer, of Bellefonte, was in town over Sunday. S. B. Shaffer transacted business in Jersey Shore on Saturday. On Monday occurred the the death of Peter Yearick, one of our oldest citizens. He had suffered much and his death ended a patient life. He was 72 years old and a consistent member of the Reformed church. He was laid to rest on Wednesday in the Reformed cemetery. C. K. Sober and son Blant, of Lewisburg, Louis Sober, of Shamokin, and the Harter brothers, of Woodward, spent several days last week hunting in this vicinity. In as much as they succeeded in shooting seventy fine pheasants they seemed very much pleased with their stay. Nittany Items. The Commercial Telephone company have their wire gang boarding here, attaching the wires as far as Hublersburg. S. A. Martin, one of Nittany’s esteemed citizens is confined to his bed. Mr. Martin has been an invalid for nearly two years. Quite a number of parties proposed attend- ing Uncle Tom’s Cabin, but owing to the rain the drive to Bellefonte was abandoned. Mrs. Barr, of Iowa, formerly Miss Jane Martin, of Nittany, who visited her relatives here during the last month, left for home Monday. Elmer Snavely and E. S. Peck left Tuesday morning, on the train, for a day’s hunt on Beech creek, small game was their pursuit. The Lutheran Sunday school, of Snyder- town, propose holding a Christmas entertain- ment on the eve of Christmas; the Evan- gelical scbool, on Friday eve, or 23rd of De- cember. The remains of Mrs. Frank Shields, of Clintondale, were laid to rest last Thursday. She leaves a husband and large family of small children to mourn her loss. Deceased was a daughter of Isaac Loveland, of Lamar. Consumption was the cause of her death. The hunting craze has reached the highest pitch ever known in this valley, not of citi- zens alone, but foreign hunters. Our mount- ains are traversed every day by many in pursuit of game and their pursuit is the only pleasure, as there has been no game brought here this season. William Webrier has purchased the large George Brown farm, near Washington fur- nace, and Lamar depot. We wish him suc- cess in his investment and may he continue his record in raising ‘‘boss’’ porkers. His largest porker tipped the scales at 457 lbs, the largestin this locality. The school at Nittany is crowded to ex- treme limits, two pupils occupying single seats, also a number of older pupils would like to attend school but dislike being crowd- ed in this manner. The citizens propose to apply, this coming year, for a graded school. No teacher can render justice to scholars in this manner. Edward Robb, ticket agent at this place, has gone to Ralston, to accept a clerical posi- tion where a more liberal compensation is awarded him, than in the employ of the C. R. R. of Pa. H. C. Snavely carries the mail, and the depot is left vacant to accommodate vagrants and tramps as no agent is willing to accept the meager vay. This community was very sorry to hear of the death of James C. Shafer, (called Curry when here,) of Martha furnace. Curry Shafer spent his first school days in this dis- trict ; during his youth he was always known as a pleasing, honest upright boy. He spurned all vulgarity and imitated what would ennoble and adorn his character. Thus another bright and noble youth has been called from this stage of action. Centre Hall. James S. Stahl, wife and twin babies, were in Lock Haven over Sunday visiting friends. Al. Crape was one of the lucky hunters from this town, who ended the career of a fine deer The Republican printing job can be seen through as plainly as the “mark in the ecir- cle” on the ballot showed on the opposite side of the sheet. Judging from the host of traveling sales- men and the ever-present corn buyer, there surely must be business with the merchants and the city milkman. Miss Grace Alexander came down from State College, Wednesday evening, to enjoy Thanksgiving at home and brought with her Miss Meta Grey, of Montrose, to share the festivities. A. B. Herbst and wife, of Muncy station, Lycoming county, is the guest of S. W. Smith. Mr. Herbst is a well-to-do young farmer and takes a great interest in politics and all local affairs in the county. ‘Forest Ocker was last week married to Miss Orpha Bierley instead of Gramley, as stated in this column last week. As the correction is being made the calithumpian band is surrounding the couple at the resi- dence of Edward Nearhoof. TheDEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN, after all, is the only real Democratic paper published in the county. It appears that the ties of con- sanguinity and affinity are stronger with most editors than political ties, and such jobs as the election printing bill, which is being exposed by the WATCHMAN, is passed over as a family affair with some of the pretended Democratic editors. THE BURNING OF THE SCHOOL HOUSE. — The Pine Stump school house was burned to the ground Sunday evening last. Messrs. Glace, Lee and Bitner, farmers, who live near the school house, saw the fire about 7 o'clock and at once hastened to the scene. The fire was in a little annex built as a stove protector and to store brooms, buckets, ete. in. An effort was made to tear the burning section away from the main building but the school room was soon ablaze and all that could be done was to rescue the books and a few desks, as there is no water near the grounds. The flames greedily ate up the timbers and an occasional blast of wind sent flying embers scattering over the coun- try. The school house was certainly set on fire, but by whom? That is the question. Thomas Moore, who is teaching his second term at Pine Stump, closed the school house Friday evening and locked it up as usual, but the annex had no lock aud in it was the kindling wood Moore had stored up for fu- ture use, which was used to kindle the flame that destroyed the house that ‘‘Jack’’ built. It is generally accepted that boys did the mischief with no motive other than deviltry. The school term will be finished in J. IL. Potter's summer house, which is located a short distance from the school ground. The building was insured in the Centre Hall company for $533, actual including fixtures. In connection with the burning of the school house it may be of interest to relate its his- tory as secured from old residenters. The district school house was originally located in the hollow near where the buildings of the Keller farm are situated. The school was isolated. During the winter months as the road and paths were impassable, and about | 1850 it was decided to move the Fairfield house, which name it bore, to a better suited locality. The influence Maj. Neff wielded determined the site to be on the Brush valley road. The first school at this point was built of stone, and some years afterward the building destroyed Sunday night was erected. Major Neff and his son William were im- proving the school grounds just after the stone school house was finished, when along came Robert Potter, father of Fergus Potter Esq., and as the trio were discussing edu- cational affairs it was concluded that such an institution should have a name. A prominent object near by—a large pine stump—sug- guested “‘Pinc Stump” and so it was chris- tenéd. : The removal of Fairfield school house to Pine Stump made another change which gave Centre Hall its first institution of learn- ing. Liberty school house was located at Lingle’s, and was butabout a mile from Pine Stump. A small school house was then built on the site now occupied by the present brick building, which is the third erected on the school grounds at this place and that some twenty odd years ago. With this change Liberty school house was abandoned, but to- day,as one passes by the historic site,the very air seems stimulating to the brain. Pine Grove Mention. George Y. Meek has sold his farm at Fairbrook. For want of cash our new creamery project is at a standstill. On account of several mashed fingers Frank Gates is carrying one hand in a sling. Ross Grove is minus two fingers having come 1n contact with a sausage grinder. The venerable Sam. Harpster is enjoying a two weeks’ visit over among Clearfield county folks. Gen. John Taylor, of Reedsville, was among the mourners at Mrs. Miller's burial last Thursday. John Smith came up from Spring Mills to visit his mother this week and help stir scrapple and sich. Gum Hubler is entitled to nimrodic honors as he brought down a fine deer. James Tanyer is also proud of a fine buck, which he shot. Farmer Thomas Frank recently lost three cows with lymphatics, caused from cornstalk pasturing. The fourth was ill but is improv- ing. The Glade school is having a vacation on account of the teacher, Bessie Walker, having fallen down the cellar steps and broken some bones. Sam. Everhart Goss spent several days in the early part of the week over at Milroy. Rumor says he is about to stake his all in the millinery business. Mrs. Catharine Woods is the loser of a fine water spaniel that she prized highly for his watchful qualities. A dose of strych- nine ended his usefulness. Hall. Musser and wife, of the Mountain City, enjoyed the drive via Bellefonte to this place where they are viewing improvements, stirring apple butter and enjoying butcher- ing dinners with old acquaintances. Elmer Bowersox, a member of the 5th U.S, Regular band, bade adieu to his legion of friends after a month’s convalescence and started for his regiment which is ordered to Porto Rico. He will join his command hale and hearty. Miss Gertie Miller is ill with a tumor and her doctor advises hospital treatment. Her mother was buried last week. The afflic- tions of the Miller family come thick and fast and they have the sympathy of the whole community in their bereavement and affliction. In addition to our last mention a party of hunters from Pittsburg and a number of sportsmen from town are in camp above Roaring run. The Riley-Homan crew struck camp with but the one five pronged buck, shot by Harry Miller. A number of deer were seen but were too far away to hit. Our Boalsburg neighbors are all aglow with the idea of making the Farmers’ Institute a big success. A committee meeting is called for next Monday evening, the 28th, to furth- er the arrangements. Everybody is invited to be present and lend a helping hand to make the last day of January and the first day of February, 1899, days of profit as well as pleasure. D. W. Meyers, one of the Modoc crew, while hunting, landed away over near Ross’ and he still* insists that his compass was mixed not he. They came out on Satur- day well satisfied with themselves and their luck. Harry Bailey, Isaac Martz, H. M. Krebs and Emanuel Peters each brought down a deer. Mr. Peters wounded a large bear but after a long chase bruin made good his escape. Last Wednesday evening, the 16th inst., David Young Hoy, of State College, accom- panied by his intended, drove over to our town halting for a very short time at the parsonage. Davy is a little bashful but in due time presented the necessary credentials and Rev. Charles Aikens quickly pronounced the words that made two hearts as one. After congratulations by the Rev. and his cheery wife the young couple returned to the groom’s home, squire Albert Hoy’s, where a splendid wedding supper was served. The bride, Miss Annie Sheets, is a handsome and accomplished young lady and will make home pleasant. The groom is one of State College's representative young men, genial and industrious. Books, Magazines, Etc. Capt. Sigsbee spoils a good story, but replaces it with another equally good, in denying,as he will in the December Century, that his orderly en- tered the cabin of the Maine immediately after the explosion, made a formal salute, and reported the destruction of the ship. Had he done so, he would not have been seen, for the explosion ex- tinguished all lights, and left the cabin as black as a pocket. As a matter of fact, the orderly ran into his commanding officer in a dark passage leading forward through the superstructure, and reported that the ship had been blown up and was sinking. Capt. Sigsbee’s story of the des- truction of the ship will lose nothing, it is under- stood, from the simplicity of his style, the inci- dents being too terrible to need reinforcement from rhetoric. THE Latest SENsatioNarn Frencn Pray.—Cyrano De Bergerac, by Edmond Rostand, which is being | played in this country by Richard Mansfield and | in England by Henry Irving, is just brought out | in a dainty, handy cloth-bound volume at the price of 35 c., and a cheap paper edition at 15 e,, by Hurst & Co., New York, the well-known cheap- book publishers. They will send it post paid, or it may be had at all dealers. Itis generally pro- nounced the play of the year, and some critics rank it close after Shakespeare’s masterpieces. The department of Amateur Athletics, in Har- per's Weekly which is conceded everywhere in this country as being the most genuine, the most earnest, and best conducted department of ath- letics in any journal, is again conducted by Mr. Casper Whitney. It has been said in many quarters that Harper's Weekly and Mr. Whitney have done more to encourage the growth of an athletic spirit in this this country than anything else in recent years. Errors, professionalism, and undernand methods, wherever found, are laid bare, and at the same time all that can be done to encourage legitimate sport fills the col- umns, z -—~ Subscribe for the WATCHMAN.
