The one engine attached to a plug further west on the street than the other, and secured a powerful stream, but the second engine could get nothing ; the result being that only one effective stream was put on the fire. The question arises now as to wheth- er it might not have been better to have used two plug streams instead of one en- gine stream. None of the buildings were high and it did not require much pressure to cover them. ve KiLLEp FIFTEEN FINE CATTLE.—J. Harris Hoy, manager of the Rock View farms, contemplating establishing a milk route in Bellefonte, had the herd on the farm tested for tuberculosis on Wednes- day.

Of this number 14 cows and the fine bull that drew an award at the last county fair were found to he slightly affected with tuberculosis. In order that there would be no danger at all Mr, Hoy directed that every one of them be killed. at once,’ It was done and for the loss of more $1,000 which he sustains he will be reimbursed only to the amount of $410.00. ade DISASTROUS MOUNTAIN FIRES ABOUT CoLYER.—What proved to be a very disastrous mountain fire started in the vi- cinity of Huyett’s mill, in Boal’s gap, above Colyer, on Tuesday morning and fanned by the high winds swept along at a furious rate. All efforts to fight it were of little avail. Along the pike the home of John Harper was completely wiped out. The house and stable, with most of their contents were burned ; leaving only the smoke house, which fortunately had the family supply of meat in it. The fires raged all night and by Wed- nesday morning had swept down to a dan- gerous proximity to Potter’s Mills. About nine o’clock that morning the frame house, near Potter’s Mills, owned by Mrs. Simon Long and occupied by John Confer caught fire and was burned. Only a few of the household effects being saved. During Wednesday afternoon an alarm was spread that Colyer’s big mill was threatened and all the men who could be assembled started into the mountains to save it, if possible. They were successful in keeping the fire off until yesterday morning, when the rain put an end to the danger. eee ee Qe. AMATEURS TO APPEAR IN OPERA.-Belle- fonte amateurs have already achieved suc- cess in opera, drama, comedy, minstrel and vaudeville undertakings so that the an- nouncement that another comic opera is to be put on soon will be hailed with delight. Especially attractive ought it to be because of the fact that the proceeds will be devoted to the fund for the Petriken memorial hall. The gentleman who is training the soloists and choruses is already at work and is quite confident that he will be able to put. on a splendid show on the evenings of May 15th and 16th. The opera is entitled ‘‘Around the World with the Man in the Moon’’ and employs a cast of three hundred, with an elaborate wealth of scenery and costumes. The Watkins, N. Y. Democrat said of it, ‘Never before has an entertainment been offered to the public possessing such a peculiar fascination for young and old. The thorough manner in which the large number of persons connected with the per- formance are heing drilled promises success and a large audience should be present. The opera is described as a fantastic, dramatic spectacle, with a well defined plot, quaint and interesting story set in a frame work of dazzling scenery, surprising transformations, beautiful music, magnifi- cent costumes and wonderful electrical ef- fects. Some of the scenery and costumes used inthe New York productions will be sent here. That the opera has met the require~ ments and filled the bill is apparent from the very flattering notices it has received elsewhere, -Perry amd Ivory to Hang June 35.

He has been housed up for two weeks with catarrhal fever, and Mrs. Edward Lucas, who has been ill since the first of the month with typhoid fever, is now able to sit up. It is a source of regret to some of ‘our older citizens to see the stones of the old historic mill which has long stood as a land mark and as a reminder of youthful days crushed and put on the public road, yet this is about the only thing which they can be vsed for now and in this way will still continue to serve the public. A few daysago your correspondent had the pleasure of enjoying a visit to Mrys, Hester Long, one of the oldest ladies of this valley and one who is as conversant with af- fairs, half a century agone, as anyone in this section. Mrs. Long, who is now eighty-four years old, is of Irish descent, her parents having been Robert and Elizabeth Leech and lived in Maryland. Her mother was a John- son whose parents had come from Ireland. Mrs. Long, for a number of years, lived in Mifflin Co., Pa., she then moved to near Farmers Mills, this county, and afterwards with her brothers to the old Stuart home- stead of this place which by frugality and industry they were able to purchase in less than five years. They afterwards became owners of several more farms nearby and in time became quite wealthy. Mrs. Long is the only survivor of a family of nine chil- dren. ‘‘All have gone to the other shore but me;” she said. She has in her possession some very quaint and interesting relics. One of them is a plait of flax about sixteen inches long which was brought from Ireland by her grand parents, another is a glass pitcher which is one hundred and fifteen years old. She also showed me a bronze bowl and pitcher, also considerable over a century old, and a silk shawl and patches of her mother’s, wedding, reception and traveling dresses, and a stone pitcher which has come down through five generations of the Grayvel family, that having been the name of her mother-in-law, it having been a request of the first owner that it should not pass out of the family as long as a Grayvel survived. The most interesting article that she present- ed was a glass bottle with a peculiar kind of mechanism within. It was made by a Frenchman who had been sentenced to the penitentiary for life and was confined in a dungeon where he had only three inches of light to work by. How he contrived to manufacture such a piece of workmanship is a mystery to many and excitesthe admira- tion and wonder of all who see it. Books, Magazines, Etec.
