Such a thing as a mosquito an- noying people at night has heen almost unheard of here until this season and now they are quite bad. It is believed that the extraordinary wet season has brought them on us. —-In our obituary notices last week we published an account of the death of Henry Lytle at bis home in Half Moon township. We wish to correct our error in stating that it was Henry, for the gen- tleman who died so suddenly was James Lytle. His sisters were Mrs. Joseph Way, Mrs. Abraham Gates and Mrs. John Mil- ler. ——It seems that we were a little bit premature in announcing that John Meyer, of the High school, had been given an in- crease of salary, makiug it $100 per month. Action on the matter has not been taken, but the very fact that such a story is cur- rent is an indication that in this case the thought will be only a forerunner of the act. —A story is being told to the effect that last week a car load of corn from Kan- sas City was received at Martha station, in Bald Eagle valley. When the car was un- sealed and the doors opened, out jumped a colored man, who started at once down the railroad track to where a freight train was standing bound for Lock Haven. He had subsisted on corn during his long ride. ——A horse which Frank Lockard had hitched to a light buggy at his stable at Coleville, on Wednesday afternoon, fright- ened and ran away before he could get into the vehicle. Running in the direction of Bellefonte it kept the road until the fur- nace trestle crossing was reached. There an approaching engine caused it to shy off and run onto the trestle. The buggy fell over the side of the structure, dragging the horse with it and the fall broke its neck. | —-Supt. Brower, of the Nittany country club, was in town on Wednesday, and, judging from his experience the day pre- vious, game on that preserve ought to be quite plentiful in the fall. They are building three log cabins along the trout stream and while returning from their work on Tuesday evening the men dis- covered a wild turkey hen, with a brood of fourteen little turkeys. Only a short dis- tance from the turkeys they found two hen pheasants, each with a nice brood. A DESTRUCTIVE STORM PASSES OVER PARTs OF CENTRE COUNTY. — Though Bellefonte had merely an ordinary sum- mer thunder storm last Friday those who were observant of the peculiar greenish- yellow of the clouds and the frequent flashes of lightning that seemed to dance along the mountain tops in the west realized that there was a frightful storm somewhere. And there was. ; It struck the vicinity of Stormstown with terrific force between 1and 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The wind and lightning were not so bad, but hail stones as large as a hulled walnut stripped trees of their foliage, cut down grain and broke windows as if hurled from some great battery in the clouds. The bail was peculiar in that the stones were 80 irregular in shape. They resembled huge, jagged chunks of ice. In some houses every light of glass in the western exposure was broken. The homes of George S. and Irvin Gray, near Stormstown, suffered greatly in this way; especially the latter, where the window panes were exceptional- ly large. In Cyrus Hunter’s home forty- six lights were broken. Capt. J. A. Hun- ter’s home suffered to a like extent and every light on the west side of the Metho- dist church was knocked out. A fine field of rye on the G. Woods Miller farm, below Stormstown, was cut down so effectually that Mr. Miller will mow most of it at once. The barley oats and rye seemed to suffer most, though the amount of glass broken was unprecedented. Burkets had quite a large stock of glass on hand at the time but it was all cleaned out in one day and a telephone order that they bad filled next day was bought up at once. A WATER SPOUT IN BALD EAGLE. Between 9 and 11 o’clock Thursday night a terrific storm passed down along the Bald Eagle, doing great damage in the vicinity of Hunter run, in Liberty township. A cloud burst occurred along the run and in a few moments it was transformed from a placid little streamlet, into a raging torrent, carrying destruction in its path and sweeping everything before it. Trees were uprooted, bridges and fences carried away and great gullies, in which a house could be buried, were washed in the farms in that vicinity. It is about mid-way between Eagle- ville and Howard. The Hunter run school house was picked up by the torrent and carried clear across the public road, into W. R. Schenck’s field. Parker Thompson’s farm was practically ruined and devastated beyond hope of a crop this season. The stream rose so suddenly that some families living along its banks had narrow escapes. Roland Leech was awakened by the raging waters breaking in his front door. Marsh Creek was fully as high as in the famous flood of ’89. The public road along its entire length was flooded and washed terribly. Much damage to fences and corn fields resulted. ; While the storm at Beech Creek was very heavy and the lightning almost incessant, it did not affect the Beech Creek percepti- bly. The thunder was deafening. Frank Berry's residence opposite the Presbyterian church at Beech Creek was struck by the lightning, but not damaged to any extent. Those who were in the house at the time felt only a slight shock. The storm was the worst experienced for years. eve HURT IN A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT. —MTr. and Mrs. Emanuel Garbrick, of near Zion, were in town last Friday afternoon and while driving out Allegheny street met with an accident that might have resulted far more seriously than it did. When crossing Howard the hit broke in the mouth of one of the horses and in an in- stant it seemed to realize that it was free and dashed away, dragging the other after 1t. ; Mr. Garbrick, thinking tiat he could not control his team any longer, suggested to his wife that she try to crawl out over the rear end of the wagon, but in her excite- ment she undertook to jump over the wheels. They bad reached the Lutheran church by that time and she fell on the hard road-way there injuring herself se- verely. The team continued on up the hill, bat was stopped before going much further. Mrs. Garbrick was taken into the office of Dr. Seibert, where it was found that she had suffered an ugly scalp wound on the right side of the head, sprained an ankle and had been severely shocked by the fall on the hard road. It was evident by the torn condition of her clothing that she had been dragged a short distance. Three stitches were required to close up the wound in the head. She was able to go home that evening. ee MAPA ret. A SINGULAR ACCIDENT. — Liveryman Sam Brooks, was bringing the Steele family home from a re-union at Rote, on Saturday evening, and was descending the Weaver hill on thisside of Zion, when he met with an accident that has cost him the loss of one of his hack horses. He was using Lew Bullock’s hack and in going down the hill the front spring broke, leaving the driver’s extension down on the horse’s hack. It was some time before the animal could be released and when he was '| gotten out it was found that his tail was broken, close up to the rump. It has bad a most singular effect. After getting into the barn here the horse got down and could not get up. Wednesday morning he was placed in a swing, but if he does not get bettersoon he will be killed. Brooks lost a valuable sorrel mare, one of a mated team he had just purchased, on- ly a week or so ago. nd ——The appropriation to The Penn- sylvania State College made by this ses- gion of the Legislature is $146,000 . ——MecCalmont & Co. have a new Ad on page 5 of this issue.

Parsons, in Lock Haven, on last Wednesday. ic ee ermine ——The fair and festival held by the Re- liance fire company in Philipshurg netted about $800 for that organization. From one feature alone, the baby show, they cleared $120. eee es. James L. Summerville, formerly of this place, has sold his coal operations at Winburne, Clearfield county, to the Beech Creek Coal and Coke Co. It is rumored that he received $200,000 for his interests. —— een ——The ladies of the United Evangelic- al church in Howard, believing that the men were moving too slow in the matter, recently met on the site and, with pick and shovel, broke ground for a new parsonage. hm — ——A 90 ft. high truss bridge, with a 16 ft. roadway, is to be erected over Moshan- non creek at Munson by the commissioners of Clearfield and Centre county.

T. Wilson & Co’s name to a check for $75, which he had had cashed at the First National bank in Lock Haven on June 9th. i et Ae ——DMecChesney, the fast McFarlane horse from Altoona, will not be started in the Fourth of July races here. He is at the fair grounds working right along, but it is announced that he won’t be in condi- tion to go. All the other good ones will start, however. Eo ——At the Lutheran and Evangelical churches the Children’s day services on Sunday were ohserved with fitting cere- monies. Both edifices were artistically decorated with flowers and greens and the little ones taking part acquitted them- selves most creditably. ro Se ss —— The trotting mare which G. B Welliver was said to have sold to Elmer Patchen, of Burnside, for $500 last week, wasn’t sold at all. She was traded for a roan stallion. Neither could she turn the ring in 2:11, as the Lock Haven Democrat would have us believe. EE NL OE ——We called up M. S. Betz, the Jack- sonville merchant, to get a little informa- tion from him on Tuesday morning, and, contrary to his usual manner, he was so flustered that he couldn’t answer anything. Finally, in sheer exuberance of spirit, he yelled, “It’s a ten pound boy,’’ and then we knew why he had no time or thought for anything else. : ——The memorial services in Gregg post rooms, on Sunday afternoon, were quite impressive. Addresses were made by Gen. Jas. A. Beaver, S.B. Miller, Frank Wallace, J. C. Miller and comrade Alexander, and interspersed were appro- priate songs by a quartet composed of A. Lukenbach, C. C. Shuey, J. P. Smith and Walter Whippo. The comrades mem- orialized were M. S. Riddle, John A. Aikens, H.D. Yerger, David Bartley, D. M. Glenn and Joseph Iddings. ——The Colyer band will celebrate the Fourth in a rather unique way. While giving expression to their ever patriotic impulses they will coutribute much to the pleasure of others on that day by making a tour of serenading. They will drive to the Indian Lane, surround the graves of the heroes fallen there and play several national airs ; from there the band will proceed to the Old Fort and serenade that historic spot, after which Centre Hall will be given a musical treat. The In- dian Lave will be reached about 10 a. m. ——The festival held by the Citizens’ Hook and Ladder Co. in Bullock’s hall, at Milesburg, last Saturday night, attracted quite a crowd to eat the good things that had been prepared and witness the test of the new water works. The receipts were about $92. The Logan steamer was on hand to make the test, but it was quite embarrassing to the boys from here to have their engine clog up so that the Milesburg firemen could throw a plug stream about 30tt. further than they could with the en- gine. Every test made demonstrated that Mileshurg has a very superior water service and is to be congratulated on the progres- sive spirit that resulted in its being in- stalled. *0e ——The children’s day exercises in the Presbyterian church on Sunday morning bad been sufficiently well heralded to at- tract a large crowd to that church, not- withstanding the threatening weather, and those who were there were fully repaid hy the bright, enthusiastic manner in which the children carried out the service for the one day of the year that has come to be theirs, exclusively, in most of the churches. While the singing and orchestral music were pleasant features the numbers con- tributed by the infant class were most in- teresting, for both in their songs and recita- tions the little ones seemed inspired with a zealous spirit that should have pointed the way to many an older one among the 10k- ers on. AN ENJOYABLE EVENING.—The recital and musical which was given for the bene- fit of the Presbyterian church Friday night, at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Hayes, was an enjoyable one and a fairly festive social occasion. The Hayes home, with its big drawing room, roomy halls, and attractive wide porches, is one of the best arranged houses in the town for entertaining large parties. And then the host and hostess are so cor- dial and hospitable that a church or charit- able affair held there forbodes success al- ways. And Friday evening was not the exception. The program was not too long nor was it invariable. The house and sur- roundings were fairly fragrant with roses and June's sweetness and the audience was gay and appreciative. In the course of the program Miss Bar- ber, of Mifflinburg, gave several recita- tions. Miss Bradley’s choral society ap- peared twice and sang four numbers. Mis. J. Malcolm Laurie, Miss Mabel Fauble and Miss Bradley were the pianists and as usual Will VanTries brougt unto himself a perfect ovation, which he amply deserved for his mandolin playing. Mrs. Hayes sang ‘“The Holy City,” Mr. Henry Brown, ‘A Dream,’’ and Miss Louise Calloway, ‘‘Four Leaf Clover” which was much admired. Miss Calloway has a pure soprano voice and she made quite an impression by her clear enunciation and power of expression. The receipts of the evening were par ex- cellent. They amounted to $63.50. $37.50 being admissions and the remaining twenty- six dollars were contributed by the aids under whose patronage, with Mrs. A. O. Furst as chairman, the recital was given. A FALLING IN TIME.—On Monday morning Rufus Confer, of Millheim, drove their cow to the race nearby to water. Later his mother appeared with a bucket and then the cow made for Rufus, who had, meanw.ile, walked up onto the bridge. In trying to avoid the bovine attack the boy stepped on a loose board and fell into the race. The water was only three feet deep and he scrambled out without injury, but his hat was still in the water. Mrs. Confer tried to grab it from the lower side of the bridge and she fell in. Her son fished her out promptly and while the two were getting their bearings, after the ex- citement they had had, she fell in again, the second time going in head-first and nar- rowly escaping drowning. i GOTTLEIB IS ABOUT RIGHT.—On Friday morning Gottleib Haag walked into this of- fice toting a single head of lettuce that he thought was entitled to being called the “Wonder of the World.” It was some- thing less than a barrel in circumference and weighed a pound and nine ounces. As we have never seen a single head of lettuce balf so large as Gottleibh’s we agree with him as to its right to be called the “Wonder of the World’’ and demand that Abe Baum and Ed: Woods produce or let Gottleib carry the banner when the big gardeners have their parade. ——Farmers are replanting potatoes in the vicinity of Spring Mills. Many of those planted early were rotted by the wet weather. —————— MRS. SusaAN HOFFER,—After long and patient suffering with cancer of the breast, Mrs. Susan Hoffer died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. C. Mingle, on east High street, on Saturday evening. She was the daughter of the late John Durst, and was born near Earlystown, in Potter township, April 12th, 1824. Her marriage to John Hoffer proved a very happy one and they were the parents of thirteen children, eight of whom are living. The lamented father died in 1891. Mrs. Hoffer was zealous in her devotion to the Reformed church and during her active life was foremost in services to her Mas- ter, as well as to the loved ones about her. The children are John, of Washington; Christ, of near Bellefonte ; Mrs. A. C. Mingle and Fannie, of Bellefonte ; Philip, of Buford, Ga. ;I. O., and Emma, of Phila- delphia, and William, of Sylvan Grove, Kan. Three brothers and one sister also survive. They are Ananias and Kate, of Greenville, Pa., and John and Dr. Daniel Durst, of Wheatland, Cal. Funeral services were conducted at the Mingle home on Monday morning, by Rev. Kerschuer, of Centre Hall, and the body was taken to Huntingdon for burial by the side of her late husband. ; I I ll DIED SUDDENLY. —The venerable John Miller, a well known and representative citizen of Walker township, died very sud- denly at his home near Hublersburg on Wednesday morning. The work of roofing a shed on the farm was going on and Mr. Miller was aronnd the building apparently in his usual health. A little later, however, while un- der the overshot of the barn, he suddenly sank to the ground in an unconscious state. His sons J. D. and Frank, who were near- by, hurriedly carried him into the house where he died almost before they could realize what had happened. Deceased was 72 years old and a man of considerable force. He was generally re- spected in that vicinity, for he was the friend of all, especially the needy. Sur- viving him are his widow and these chil- dren : Charles, J. D., Minnie and Frank. Rev. Crow of the Reformed church will conduct funeral services this morning and interment will be made at Hublersburg. li fl I --—J. Thomas Loder, a son of Squire R. B. Loder, formerly of Jacksonville, died at Cross Forks, Potter county, on Friday with typhoid fever. He was aged about 18 years and had been engaged about the lumber camps at that place. Surviv- ing him are his father, two sisters and two brothers. Tf News Purely Pevsonal. : —DMiss Mollie Beezer, of Philadelphia, is visit- ing friends in town. —Mrs. Thomas K.
