I EET yy. : £ ¥ —— The cook stove in the home of Miss | Annie Williams, editor of the Philipsburg Ledger in Philipsburg exploded about 6:30 o’clock Monday morning, which blew the dining room. Nobody was seriously injured, but the girl employed by them had her face slightly cut by parts of the pieces flying around. ing in the hot water boiler. It was bad enough, but might have been much worse. See ——A party of young folks chaperoned by Misses Henrietta Butts and Mildred Smith had a sleighing party to the Old Foit Saturday night. George Furey took his four-in-hand and big sled and handled the team likea professional whip. In the party were Misses Ann Harris, Eleanor Ardell, Jennie Harper, Mary Thomas, Helen White, Kate Brisbin, Messrs. Elliott Vandevender, Hasel Montgomery, Malcolm Mitchell, Louis Dagget and Fred Lane. They had a fine time and came home thoroughly delighted with the trip. > — We would like to call your attention to the advertisement for the sale of a sec- tion of the Hamilton farm at Pleasant Gap, which appears in another column of this issue. Here is an opportunity for some one to buy a small farm near the Pleasant Gap station. It is in a high state of culti- vation and is reputed as being one of the best farms in the county. — Mrs. W. A. Simpson,of Lock Haven, is so seriously ill that Dr. Roland Curtin, of Philadelphia, was called there in con- sultation on Friday. Snow Shoe. The literary recital given in the M. LE. church on Wednesday evening by Miss Ida Helen Rodkey, of Mahafte, Pa., was a fine treat to all who attended. Miss Rodkey isa fine impersonator and very skillful in the art of speaking. The tail end of a western blizzard struck this place on last Sunday and as a result we have been living in zero weather ever since, Wednesday morning registered 4 below, which is the coldest it has been here this winter. Mr. ground hog was out on his annual trip on Sunday, and although the sun thone enough for him to see his shadow, the snow had drifted his hole shut before he could re- turn and as a result he is shivering around in the snow and we may expect summer in a few weeks. Professor McNeal, of Lock Haven, has been secured as one of tho instructors for the institute on the evening of Feb. 28th and March 1st. A strong corps of teachers is ex- pected to be in attendance. Prof. Robb, who Las the managing in charge, will leave no stone unturned to make it a success. We are pleased to learn that Mr. Chas, Shope. our esteemed insurance agent, who moved trom this place some few weeks ago to Peale City, has been promoted to assistant superintendent of the company and hence- forth will make his home in Altoona.

There was quite a home gathering of that numerous family. : William H. Smith, one of Gregg township's straight laced Democrats, spent yesterday in town closing up the sale of his mother’s down town house. Linn Bottorf, the obliging station master over at Julian, and his interesting little fam- ily spent Saturday and Sunday at Cornelius Dale’s near Lemont. A regular blizzard swept over this section last Sunday and in consequence the cross roads were drifted full of snow by night. Traveling is all done by the fields now. The stork is kept busy these cold, stormy nights. Sunday evening a young son arriv- ed at Henry Bloom’s home. Tuesday night a little daughter arrived at mine host J. A. Decker’s. Sash Sunday was the stormiest day of the winter but yet that weather wise little animal man- aged to see his shadow. He is likely back in his winter quarters by this time and we are in for six weeks more of winter, Mrs. Samuel Bailey is laid up with several broken ribs. While going to the cistern with a bucket on her arm she slipped on the ice and fell, striking the edge of the bucket with the above result. Farmer Adam Felty is down at Harrisburg for a 10 days’ visit.- Some of his granger friends think he would be a good man to suc-. ceed Hon. Wm.

Meyers returned home last week | from northern Illinois with the intention of | going to sehool this summer. Last week James Wertz added another farm | McClellan the Detwiler farm which almost | adjoins his own. The price paid was $6,000 certainly a low down figure for a number one Pennsvalley farm. J. B. Piper, the well known carriage trim- mer. has resigned his position in the H. M. Krebs carriage works to accept alike position with his friend and former employee W. J. Meyers, over at Alexandria. Wm. H. Roush has taken: his place in the Krebs shop here. Mrs. James I. Thompson, who was operated upon in the Presbyterian hospital in Phila- delphia last week, is improving so rapidly that she expects to be home shortly. Her sufferings were caused by three large gall stones which the doctors were able to remove. Last evening a very pleasant social was held at the home of Mrs. J. B..Mitchell, on Main street. Mrs. Mitchell whom every one knows is endowed with a most mild and even disposition, was ably assisted by her sister, Miss Elizabeth Gibson, in making the guests welcome and they had good things enough prepared to have fed twice the number present. Will Swab is the proud possessor of a num- ber of valuable relics. He prizes very high- ly a sailor's dirk knife that belonged to one of Commodore Perry’s men and which was found in the bottom of the vessel when it was raised in 1876. He has also a Remington five shot revolver which was carried through the Mexican war by Mr. James Detzel. It was was found among his personal effects after his death. Mr. Swab has had both replated so the weapons look like new. Spring Mills. Evangelist Laumaster closed a series of highly interesting meetings on Monday even- ing last. All the meetings were very largely attended. Last week Mrs. W. F. Steely, of Sunbury, made a flying trip of a day or two to her fath- er, Mr. Charles Miller, one of our highly es- teemed citizens. Calvin Zerbe feels very largely the grave responsibilities of being a “pap” to a new daughter, which the stork left at his home on Wednesday evening last. S. A. Krape, of our village, will dispose of all his household effects on the 5th proximo, and will move to Altoona. We are very sor- ry to lose Mr. Krape. He is a good citizen and a very skillful mechanic. The recent nominations here seem to give general satisfaction to both parties, and there appears to be no disappointments. Of course party lines will be pretty sharply drawn but this being a Demecratic stronghold the result of the election is a foregone conclusion. The measles here seem epidemic, but in a mild form, old as well as young are afflicted. The notion of having had the measles once, a person is not liable toa second attack appears to be exploded, for here children who had ! them during their infancy are again ill with | the malady. The remarkably high winds down this val- ley on Sunday and Monday last, were about as near a genuine hurricane as we have any desire for. Of course the snow was hurled hither and thither in blinding clouds, and no doubt some of the roads are closed. No spec- ial damage however is reported in this im- mediate neighborhood,save the blowing down of fences and the destruction of several old sheds, used mainly as a home by. owls and bats. The absence of the old foot log bridge over Penns Creek, which was swept away by the ice and high water a week or ten days since is certainly a great inconvenience. It wasa short walk to the R. R. station and also to the Methodist an1 Reformed churches, and was used by every man, woman and child in the village as a long circuitous road was avoided. it has been a crossing almost from the foundation of the village. Of course the bridge will be rebuilt just as soon as the weather permits. The importance of accidental insurance was fully exemplified in the case of Daniel Schle- gel one of our active young men who some time since met with a very severe accident to one of his hands incapacitating him from following his usual vocation. Mr. S. had a policy in the Etna Accidental of Hartford, Conn., he simply notified them of the acei- dent. At the expiration of five weeks he again notified the Company that he was able to resume work, when they immediately mailed him a check for fifty dollars to cover the entire time of his disability. There was no delay nor quibbling, but the amount promptly paid. Nittany Items. James G. Hayes, lost a very valuable cow last week, by hanging itself. Elmer Snaveley has been using the snow to good advantage by chasing foxes. Last Sat- urday he killed two. He bagged three coons the same week. . Rev. Foss is being assisted by Rev. Garret, of Bellwood, in holding a series of revival meetings at this place. Quite a number from various points attend. Miss Grace Beck, who has been employed as nurse waiting upon Mr. Brant, of Youngs- town, Ohio, stopped on her return at her father’s J. H. Beck Esq., leaving here last Monday for the Williamsport hospital. The proprietor of the post office has been shivering and thinking cuss words about the old stove in the office,so last Tuesday he hied himself to Bellefonte and invested in a new one which makes the office a pleasant place. Mrs. Charles Yearick accompanied her hus- band to this side of the ridge last week for a sleigh ride, also making five minute calls among old acquaintances. Mrs. Ed. Peck al- so ordered up a horse and sleigh and drove to the homestead, at Jacksonville. Centre Hall, Zero weather ! Vance McCormick, of Montandon, is wisit- ing his father-in-law, J. A. Reesman, at this place. 3 Sturger Shultz, who has been suffering with pneumonia for the past three weeks, is improving. : nis Ed.

Mrs. E. A. McKibben, with her uncle and aunt Mr. and Mrs. Beck from Pittsburg, is spending a few days at Jersey Shore. Quite a large sled load of jolly young peo- ple from Jacksonville spent the evening very pleas .utly at S. C. Hoy's last Tuesday. A lirge surprise and birthday party was given in honor of Rev. Crow by the members of the Jacksonville and "Hublersbui® congre- gations. A sumptuous repast was served in the Grange hall where guests numbering al- most «1 hundred were treated to a feast.
