RSS sore proved streets where they used to stump their FAMILY REUNION.—A happy reunion of the Melcher family, one of the pioneer families of Centre county, was held on May 23rd, at Kenneywood Park, Fayette county, in honor of the 76th birthday of Christina Melcher, (nee McMonigal, ) relict of John Melcher, who helped to break the road through the tall pine forest of the Al- legheny mountains, crossing by way of the Philipsburg pike. Mrs. Melcher is the mother of seven chil- dren, all of whom are living, and six of whom, with grand-children and great- grand-children, were present. The chil- dren present were : Mrs. Mary J. Merry- man and Mrs. Leah Brown, of Wilkins- burg, Pa.; Mrs. Lizzie Stephens and Leonard, of Ramey, Pa., and Stephen H. and Mrs. Rachel E. Woodring, of Bluefield, W. Va., Henry, of Port Matilda, being the only one who was unable to be present. The family has a wide connection in Pennsylvania and other States. About sixty were present and took part in the pleasantries of the occasion ; not the least of which was a sumptuous dinner served in one of the dining halls of the park. It was at the close of this dinner that Mother Melcher was treated to a genuine surprise, in the presentation to her of a beautiful gold ring, the gift of her children and friends. The gift was presented by Rev. J. L. Leichliter, of Wilkinsburg. Remarks were also made by P2vs. Speck, of Wilkinsburg, and Shearer, of Greensburg, Pa. These were responded to very beautifully by the recipient of the gift, who expressed her ap- preciation for the gift and for the fact that her children all lived and loved her and, best of all, loved Him who is the source of all good.

R., and also by one sister, Mrs. Nancy Dibler,and two broth- ers, John of Plumbville, Indiana, and David L., of this place. Rev.

MILLER ESSINGTON. The Unveiling of Union County’s Sol- diers Monument. COMRADES :(—Memorial day, with all its tender memories of the heroic dead, has passed; the Childrens Day services,which are always beautiful, are also things of the past for this year, and now I want to call the at- tention of the old soldiers of ’61°65, the sol- diers of the Spanish-American war, members N. (. P. and all citizens of Centre county, to the fact that there is to be a Soldiers and Sailors Monument to be unveiled with ap- propriate and interesting services, in the very near county of Union, and at the coun- ty seat of thesame (Lewishurg) on the fourth day of July 1901. We want to make arrange- ments for a special train to return us the same evening, and would like to have as many as possibly can go, to signify their intention soon so we will know what to depend upon in regard to getting it. Comrade Amos Garbrick, of ‘Bellefonte, Sheriff Brun- gart and others are looking the matter up, and all Posts of the G. A. R. inthe county should be awake to the matter, and work up a sentiment in regard to it. ; In the very near future (we hope) we will have something of the kind in our own grand old county and we will be calling on those of other counties to attend and help us with the services. Then let us help others on such an important and interesting occasion. In 1886 at what was called Grand Army day, a great many of our citizens with their wives and families went to the same place, had a delightful day and received the hospitality of the people of that grand old town. Then let us this coming Fourth of July turn out in large numbers, for we will re- ceive a royal welcome, and spend a very profitable day and discharge a patriotic duty. A very liberal rate of fare is promised. June 12th, 1901, ATSTIN CURTIN. New Advertisements.
