R. of Pa. vice the late John J. Walsh. Mr. Munson is thor- oughly acquainted with the road and all of its workings and will no doubt prove high- ly satisfactory in the position, though it will make a very busy man of him to car- ry both places. ——lilege ——The dance given at the Brockerhoff house last Friday evening by some of the young gentlemen of the town proved one of the most delightful in years. The large attendance demonstrated that the old time prejudice against hotel dances is fast dis- appearing and the many conveniences were =0 apparent as to have made this dance real- ly note worthy. The Lock Haven orches- tra furnished the music and refreshments were served from the cafe at dainty little tables set in the ladies’ parlor. The com- mittee in charge included Edward L. Hoy, Frederick Blanchard, Maurice Jackson, John Munson and Randolph Hoy. It is announced that the young ladies’ dance, which was to have been a fancy dress H ol- iday affair, bas been postponed until spring. — ooo AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE.— On April 1st the co-partnership existing between Col. W. Fred Reynolds and J. Harris Hoy in agricultural and dairy in- terests in the county will he dissolved. Mr. Hoy has rented ten of the Reynolds farms, together with the fine Rock-view dairy herd and creamery and the large horse barn at Rock-view. After that date he will manage the farms himself, paying a money rental for them and subrenting to farmers. Mr. Hoy’s long experience as mauager of the enterprise fully equips him for the task he has cn his hands and he expects to improve the already high quality of the out-put of the Rock-view creamery, as well as establish a fine horse market there. ——Little Dorothy Jenkins is recovering from a very serious attack of scarlet fever that has left her with an ugly abscess back of the ear, though it is hoped it will not permanently impair her hearing. —. ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD.—A century may not seem a long time in towns of the .eastern hemisphere, old as the world itself, * hat in our civilization it represents a very long stretch of our history. We look with .reverence and admiration on anything that ;has stood thi¢ lapse of time and wonder what strange stories of change and progress ‘would be ours conld the silence of inani- imate objects be broken. Probably few people noticed the ringing .of the Academy bell on New Years morn- ‘ing and even those few failed to appreciate that it was ringing in its centennial, for it was cast in 1802. If is to be regretted that ‘we did not all know its message for a town ‘would do well to pause and listen to a bell that has rang the passing of a century of intellectual progress. What numbers of boys and girls it has guided into the Tem- ple of Knowledge and later rung t hem out prepared to add their part to the making of history ? This old bell must have felt proud to he ringing out its century from the Academy belfry with such a man to pull the rope as Rev. Jas. P. Hughes whose ability, enthu- siasm and long devotion to the encourage- ment of intellectual development at the Academy has made it figuratively as itis literally a place on the hill that cannot be hidden. We could wish nothing better to our townspeople in 2002 than that their New Year might be rung in with a man at the intellectual helm such as Mr. Hughes.

Miss Mand Frink, of Tyrone, accompanied them west and will make her home with them. A Nee ——The Huntingdon opera house took fire Thursday evening, Dec. 20th, and was totally destroyed in one of the most dan- gerous conflagations that town has been threatened with for years. The Tyroneand Lewistown fire departments were called on for help and both responded. The build- ing was one of the largest in Huntingdon and was built in 1883 at a cost of $46,000. It was occupied by the Acme department stores, Yoders, Posts and John Reed & Song,as well as many office suites and most of the secret societies of the town had their quarters in it. — eee -—The village of Madera, Clearfield county, was threatened with destruction by fire on Saturday afternoon, Dec. 21st. Kirk’s hardware store was discovered to be on fire shortly after dinner. It burned, together with Kirk’s hall, Hileman’s hotel, the Lennon house, George Lambourne’s residence, the Moore store and residence, Boaz Alexander store and residence, five stables, Conelly’s store and residence, and J. A. Shoff’s store. Had it not been for the aid of the Philipsburg and Houtzdale fire departments the fire would have been much more disastrous. As it was the loss was estimated at over $100,000. eth Fouxp AND Lost His WIFE AGAIN. —Charles W. Ingram. of Brownsville, Ohio, whose experience with Centre couun- ty swains and matrimonial foolers has been the subject of much, gossip for the past three weeks went up against it again a few days ago and was so completely worsted that he started off home thoroughly dis- gusted with the woman he had tried to teach to love him. The last issue of the WATCHMAN cou- tained a full account of their marriage in ‘Altoona through the agency of a matrimo- nial bureau and of how the new Mrs. In- gram ran away from her husband of a few ‘hours immediately upon their arrival in ‘ Pittsburg. She was the divorced wife of Collins Gehret, of this place, and Ingram naturally tuned his steps toward Belle- fonte to find her. His search was in vain until he told detective Joe Rightnour of his troubles and that worthy started on in- vestigation that soon located the errant wife in Pittsburg, whereshe was working in as a family servant. She was taken to Howard by that officer and there Ingram was awaiting her. His joy knew no bounds when he espied her, but she wained him off with a supericilious an that wonld have frozen boiling water, refusing to bave anything whatever tc do with him. Her parents, the Tiptons, live near Howard and friends parleyed about most of the day in the hope of getting mat- ters straightened out, but when every plan failed Ingram came to the rescue by forgo- ing his wife and withdrawing the suit, leaving her free to go her way unmolested. The woman made a pretense of going to her home but drove to Mt. Eagle, above Howard, and there took a train and disap- peared again. : ——There are twenty of them. We mean ladies in the Boston Symphony or- chestra that will appear in the court house this evening. If you want to enjoy a real musical treat don’t fail to hear them. — ee ——The Durnot-Emmett combination | that appeared here in the court house last Thursday night was au entertainment that, alone, was worth every cent of the price paid for the full season’s course. It was as clever a show as Bellefonters have seen in years and would pack the honse here upon a return engagement. Fre Gy ——The Rev. Dr. Ingram Irvine, former rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal church in Huntingdon, has brought charges against Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, of the Central Pennsylvania diocese of the Episcopal church. The charges preferred are to the effect that the Bishop entered into a con- spiracy to unfrock him and did it in col- lusion with a divorced woman. ——The song service in the Presbyter- ian church Sunday evening attracted a large congregation who were properly im- pressed with the various numbers on the program. Miss Kate Brisbin made her first appearance as a soloist and quite cap- tivated her hearers with the style with which she sang. Mrs. Bonbright’s play- ing contributed largely to the success of the service. ——— ——The venerable Archdeacon Reginald S. Radcliffe, missionary at large in the diocese of Central Pennsylvania under bishop Talbot, will visit St. John’s Episco- pal congregation next Sunday and will speak both morning and evening. Rev. Radcliffe will probably be greeted hy a very large congregation as his talks during his mission here in the Lenten period of 1901 were so helpful that he endeared himself to many. eee Messrs. Savage & Staver, of Clear- field, have gotten hold of some of the most desirable property adjoining the new town of Oak Grove below Lock Haven, and will put it on the market at once. Running a daily and a weekly paper ought to be about as much as one man would feel able to do, but friend Savage evidently feels that he has time to do other things when in addi- tion to his newspaper duties, he uunder- takes the building up of new towns. We wish them, in this enterprise, unhounded success. eel ——The following have been elected of- ficers of the Milesburg Castle, No. 222, K. G.

The high flood days will be the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17¢h, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 29th, 30th and 31st. Business men should im- prove each moment, and all those who have money invested in stocks should look well to their own interest, as the excess of high flood days will have a tendency to bring about a fluctuation of prices and stocks. Good fortune will prevail in some countries, while plagues and fam ine will cast a dark gloom over others. The old country will continue to receive afflictions from wars, earthquakes and epidemics, and our coun- try will come in for its share of evil doings. Watch out for high gales, destructive storms, floods, ete., sometime between the 15th and 23rd. The regular storm period will occur between the 20d and 6th, 7th and 11th, 21st and 24th. Daring the last few days of the month the cold prevailing from the previous storm will relax and reaction- ary storms are liable to occur. RE RE THE GOLDEN JUBILEE ANNIVERSARY oF DR. WOLF’S EDUCATIONAL WORK.— An initiatory meeting was held in the academy building for the purpose of or- ganizing an alumni-assoeiation of the Penn Hall and Spring Mills Academy, and to celebrate the golden jubilee anniversary of Dr. D. M. Wolf, some time during the summer of 1902 at Spring Mills, Pa., in which all former students of Dr. Wolf are to be invited to participate including Oley Academy, Fairview Seminary, Boalshurg Academy and Bellefoute schools. A temporary organization was effected as follows: President, Dr. A. E. Gobble ; secretary, T. M. Gramley ; treasurer, Hon. W. M. Allison. The enrollment showed forty-three present. Prof. W. P. Hoster- man, A. M. Allison and J. C. Meyer Esq. were selected a committee on permanent organization. The following executive committee was elected, having full power to appoint sub-committees on invitations, advertising, program, entertainment, music, finance, etc., J. C. Meyer Esq., of Belle- fonte, Pa. ; W. M. Grove, C. P. Long, P. W. Leitzell and Mrs. H. F. Rossman, of Spring Mills ; Rev. G. W. Kershner and Mrs. Henry Kreamer, of Centre Hall. As the early records of students of these academies were destroyed by fire some years ago, the organization has no full list of Dr. Wolf’s pupils, hence it is the earnest desire of this alumni association to have all who ever attended Dr. Wolf’s school com- municate with this organization by report- ing names and addresses of all classmates to the secretary. MR. AND MRs. ANDREW CORMAN, OF NEAR SPRING MILLS, ENTERTAIN FRIENDS AT A SupPPER.—On Thursday evening last Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Corman had a very delightful entertainment and supper at their residence, located a short distance from the village. Their son-in-law Roland Gentzel and family left Spring Mills the following morning for Altoona, their future home and this supper was got- ten up especially for the immediate fami- lies, to have all meet socially previous to their departure. But the company was considerably enlarged by additional invita- tions, and the occasion proved a very bril- liant and delightful one. The dining room was beautifully decorated, artistically ar- ranged and lavishly furnished with viands and substantials of the quaintest and choic- est character, to which the guests did am- ple justice. Mis. Corman presided at the table with her usual grace and skill, ably assisted in dispensing hospitalities by Miss Anna Royer, a highly accomplished young lady, of Orrsville, Ohio. Mr. Corman entertain- ed the company by relating amusing anec- dotes causing considerable merriment and frequently setting the table in a roar. Af- ter supper all adjourned to the spacious parlors and were delightfully entertained with music and song, followed by general conversation and amusement with the grand children. At a seasonable hour all the guests retired to their respective homes having enjoved an evening of great pleasure and delight and expressing the kindest wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Gentzel in their new enterprise and venture.® . a REUNION OF THE 148TH REGIMENT.— At the small gathering of survivors of the 148th Regiment, P. V., at Gettysburg in June last, arrangements were made for the erection of a monument to mark the posi- tion which the Regiment occupied on the 3rd of fuly. At this meeting it was deter- mined to hold a general reunion of the Regiment at Bellefonte some time in Feb- ruary. At a meeting of a number of the members of this Regiment residing in and about Bellefonte, on Tuesday, December Slst, it was determined to hold the reunion on February 19th and 20th, 1902. There were present Messrs Beaver, Fair- lamb, Weaver, Bayard, Boal. Harpster, Ishler, DBeerly, Miller. Rote, Condo and others. Committees on place of meeting, pro- gram and entertainment, invitation and transportation were appointed. One or two public meetings in connection with this reanion will be held in the court house. The other meetings for business and for interchange of reminiscences, ete., will probably be held in the G. A. R. post room which has heen generously tendered for the purpose. It is hoped that Capt. Harpster, whose address at Pine Grove was so warmly received and appreciated by all who heard it, will be able to attend and de- liver a public address at this reunion. The effort will be made to make the popular meetings as attractive aud interesting as possible. One of the principal objects of the meet- ing will be to provide for the editorial sup- ervision and publication of a regimental history which is now in preparation. The Regiment, which was called the ‘‘Centre County Regiment,’”’ although three companies and parts of two others were from other parts of the State, has never bad a regimental reunion, except in connection with other veteran gatherings. The object is to make this meeting special and to secure the attendance of as many survivors as possible. The Regiment had enrolled in the serv- ice nearly 1400 and it is probable that there areas many as 400 survivors. It is to be hoped that as many as 200 at least may be induced to attend the reunion. It is to be hoped by the officers of the association that every survivor of the Regiment who reads notice of this gathering of his comrades will send his own address, and the ad- dresses of any surviving comrades of whom he has knowledge, to George M. Boal, re- cording secretary, Centre Hall, Pa., so that they may receive the program and, if ar- rangements can be made for excursion rates, orders for transportation. Snow Shoe. At this present writing sleighing is very good in this community, and every one who owns a horse and sleigh seems to be taking advantage of it. Mr. T. B. Buddinger has employed Prof. H. E. Robb, and part of his book-keeping class to help take inventory, and for the same purpose had his store closed all day on Monday of this week. The Christmas services were well attended at this place, both in the Methodist and Pres- byterian church. The programs were very nicely carried out and great credit is due those who bad the children in training. From the evidences given at these entertain- ments we hope to see some of our young folks rise to prominence in the art of speaking. A sensation was created here on last Fri- day night by the arrest of Andrew Flari a Hungarian, who it is alleged shot and killed one of his fellow-countrymen at this place, five years ago. He has not been heard of in this vicinity since that event until Thurs- day. His wife still lived here and he alleges that he came here to make his home here. He Lad brought her to Snow Shoe town and they were on their way home when he was apprehended by constable Lucas, who brought him back to town and kept him in custody until Saturday morning, when he Qoifvered him at the county jail in Belle: onte. There was a quite a surprise at Bodding- er's store when Mr. Harm unlocked it on Saturday morning to find the room full of smoke, and no time was lost in finding the source of the trouble. It was found on ex- amination that cinders from the furnace which were supposed to be out, had heated the sheet-iron in front of the furnace to such an extent that the wooden floor under it had taken fire. As there was no draught it smouldered under the sheeting until it was discovered and timely efforts saved Snow Shoe from another great conflagration. Nittany Items. Howaid Zerby surprised his wife with a fine rocking chair on Christmas. Miss Minnie Winkleman has returned from an extensive visit in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. During the holiday season Ed Peck, mer- chant,'was kept hustling to wait on his many customers. Oscar Zimmerman and sisters’ Eva and Marion, of Pleasant Gap, spent the holiday season in this locality. F. Emerick and Charles Emerick have ceased lumbering at these home jobs and changed to the Scootac regions. James G. Hayes and daughter, of Clinton- dale, were trying the sleighing last Tuesday, and stopped with us a short time. Mrs. Fulse, of Milwaukee, observed the occasion and shipped a box filled with choice gifts to her mother, Mrs. Tate, and sister Mrs. Robt. Border. During the holiday season many persons were favored with visits from friendsand re- atives and many were fortunate enough to be the recipients of fine presents. A sled load of jovial young people from Lamar and Clintondale enlivened the resi- dence of Minnie and Mittie Winkleman last Tuesday evening. Elmer Snavely and Harry Harter took ad- vantage of the snows, that have fallen, by taking their hounds to the ridge and captur- ing two coons and one fox. Mr. Dowe and wife of Logantan, visited their daughter Mrs. Joe Emerick ; while here Mr. Dowe favored us with choice selec- tious upon-the violin. He is a first class ar- chitect as well as a musician. The scholars of our school showed their af- fection to their teacher, A. A. Pletcher, by presenting him with an elegant rocking chair which was nicely arranged in the school-1oom! while teacher was absent for dinner, Geo. Pletcher, of Lamar, has been working on a life size portrait of James Mayes, and finished it prior to the season of gifts which has caused the owner to be proud of his like- ness. It shows the artist has spent time in study and design to finish the portrait. Anniversary services were held in tne Evan. church last Sunday. Rev. Gobble, of New Berlin, Rev. Weiss, of Loganton, and Rev. Foss, minister in charge, officiated. Considerable preparation had been made to entertain the divines. In concluding the services the usual demand was money ! mon- ey! to pay the church debt. The creamery operated at Clintondale by Geo. Ohl and Harry Snyder, was sold this week to Isaiah Bierly, of the same place,who will continue the business. Mr. Bierly is a hard worker, and has been industrious and honest in his dealings which should encour- age the farmers to continue their patronage. The retiring member Geo. Ohl, is the owner of a cigar factory and expects to devote his entire time to traveling and increasing the sale of his goods. Spring Mills. John Lloyd,Democrat, has announced him- self a candidate for constable. Mrs, Harry Grenoble still continues quite ill. Her daughter Anna is also on the sick list. Edwin Ruhl! the village landlord, reports business as having been unusually good dur- ing the holidays. John Smith & Bro. have removed about all the furniture out of their old store room into the new building which they erected this fall. This firm is doing a large business. Daniel Schlegel plasterer—lightning vlas- terer as he is sometimes called, owing to the rapidity of his workmanship, is still unable to use his hand which was accidentally brok- en sometime since. The fracture seems to mend very slowly. The holidays here passed off about as usual All our stores and there where ‘‘merchants most do congregate’ were attired in their holiday garb. O.T. Corman had his store room very handsomely decorated, and dur- ing the week was obliged to add additional force to assist him in his heavy holiday busi- ness, C. P. Long had his store windows and room very elaborately trimmed with spruce and fern. A large Christmas tree in one of the windows filled with all manner of good things, proved quite an attractive card. How- ard Rossman and C. J. Finkle had their store 100ms also very gaily decked with garlands of spruce and ornaments. The weather here ‘on Christmas day was inauspicious for out of door amusements. The streets and roads were in a miserable condition, but notwithstand- ing our village avenues at times, presented quite a lively scene. Pine Grove Mention. Miss Bella C. Fry is spending her holiday vacation in Pittsburg. . John McWilliams, of Akron, O., was home to spend Christmas with his parents.

Janie the little three month old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gearhart died Christ- mas niorning of whooping cough and bron - chial trouble. Interment was made in the new cemetery Friday morning. Capt. Jacob M. Kepler has started on his usual winter's pilgrimage to the Hot Springs in Ark. He has been marvelously benefitted by former visits there and 1s going this year in hopes that he will be permanently cured. Prof. Sthare and Homer Decker spent the holiday” season with the professor's parents near Reading. Fort Schuyler at Baileyville was in command of the well driller during the absence of the professor, who has charge of the post. P. H. Meyers has sold his farm and Boals- burg home to William Myers. The deal has been on for some time but was not concluded until Saturday evening when the buyer handed over $3,675 in clean cash which was equivalent to about $90 per acre. William Sausserman is again in the Altoona hospital from which he was discharged but a few weeks ago. He was then laid up with a fractured leg but now it is with a smashed foot which was crushed between the bump- ers. He isa fireman on the Pittsburg’ divis- ion. Among the family reunions at Christmas time was that of H. C. Campbell who now resides at State College. The family had a merry time and after dinner were photo- graphed in a group on the front porch. Mrs. Campbell was the recipient of a beautiful silk dress from her children. The sick of the community are Mrs. Geo. Behrers, of Pine Hall, with bronchial trouble; John N. Bailey with a colony of carbuncles on the back of his neck; Frank Fishburn and his entire family with grip, Mrs. Eliza McCracken with biliousness and George Mec- Williams, who has just returned from Phila- delphia, with jaundice. Miss Mary Gitt, of Hanovor, who hasspent several summers here at the parsonage with her niece Mrs. C. T, Aikens, fell last week on the floor of her bed room and broke her hip. She isa grand daughter of James Bish- op who once owned much of the land on which Bellefonte is built and for whom Bish- op street in that place is named. Among the young people who were home for the holidays'and to enjoy a good turkey dinner with their families were Dr. Frank Bailey, of Milton, W. H. Hammer, of Al- toona, Clay Campbell, ot Philadelphia ,where he is a student in the veterinary depart ment at the University, and S.P. McWilliams from McDonald, where he has a good position as a teacher. Mrs. R. W. Illingworth and her three children left Monday morning on their jour- ney across the continent to Arizona, to join Rev. Ralph Illingworth who preceeded them to his new mission field more than three months ago. Their destination is Clifton and though it seemed a long journey to un- dertake with little children. Mrs. I. did not apprehend any discomfort and her friends are confident that she will be equal to any emergency that may arise. A HoripAY WEDDING.—On Christmas Eve Miss Margaret Tanyer, youngest daugh- ter of W. A. Tanyer,and one of our most pre- possessing young girls, and Newton Titus Krebs were married in the parlor of the Gar- man house, Bellefonte, by the Rev. Dr. W. P. Shriner, of the M. E. church. Christmas evening they returned to the groom’s home, on Main street, where an elaborate wedding supper was served to a few near relatives who had assembled to give them an informal reception. The calithumpians got in their good work and persisted in their noise until the strikingly tall and newly wedded couple appeared and handed out a substantial Christ- mas offering. The groom is the youngest son of the late John F. Krebs and is one of our popular young men as well as a successful merchant. WEDDED AMID CHRISTMAS GGREENS.—A social event was celebrated, the day before Christmas, at the home of Hon. John T. Mec- Cormick, near State College, when his daugh- ter, Mary, was united in marriage to Frank Krumrine. The ceremony was performed at 12 o’clock by the bride's pastor, Rev. C. T. Aikens. The reception room was elaborately decorated with Christmas greens and Mrs. Aikens played Mendelssohn’s wedding march for the processional. The bride and groom were attended by ‘Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Corl as best man and matron of honor. Quite a number of guests were present and a delicious wedding breakfast was served after the cere- mony. A numker of fine presents was re- ceived and the afternoon was enjoyably spent. Mr. and Mrs. Krumrine will go to housekeeping in Pittsburg, where the groom is now employed on the Pennsy R. R. He is a progressive, sober and well-to-do young man and until recently assisted his father on the farm. The bride is the youngest daugh- ter of the McCormick family and isa popular, level headed young woman. She has been such an efficient worker in the church and Sunday school at Pine Hall that her depart- ure is regretted by all. THE Opp FELLOW’S FEAsT.—Pennsvalley lodge 276, I. O. O. F. enjoyed its fifty-second banquet in its new hall on New Year’s even- ing. It was the social event of the holidays and possibly was the most elaborate of the season. Over one hundred guests were present and the entertainment reflected much credit on the committee of arrange- ments and assistants. The supper was a real banquet consisting of turkey, oysters, celery, ice cream, cake and many relishes. Those who were fortunate enough to be present were most royally cared for and enter- tained. J. B. Heberling was toast master and did his part well. Rev. Aikens paid a glowing tribute to the order and its workings from his observations. J. G. Heberling reviewed tbe history of the lodge and N. T. Krebs took for his subject the so- ciability of the order. M. E. Heberling talk- ed on the benefits of Odd Fellowism and J. W. Kepler ended up the program. As it was his first attempt along that line he chose for his subject ‘The requisites of a good Odd Fellow.” When the after dinner speeches had been finished Kitty Roush and Sadie Goss recited and some impromptu speaking was indulged in. The history of the lodge has appeared in these columns several times and we have nothing to add except that the cntire entertainment was a great success and that Dr. R. M. Krebs, J. W. Fry and A. J. Tate makesa first class committee. —— Suberibe for the WATCHMAN
