C. K. Sober and son Blant, of Lewisburg,

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-

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-

like to attend school but dislike being crowd-

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,

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.

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.

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

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.

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,
