Irvine and removed him from ‘he ministry and the latter claims that it was done at the instance of a meddling woman. The board will meet in Harrisburg July 1st. PANNING GOLD.—Quite a party of local speculators and probable investors gathered in J. C. Meyer's office in this place, on Tuesday afternoon, and manifested a keen interest in the process of panning gold, after exactly the same methods resorted to by prospectors who are locking for pay streaks in gold territory. The demonstra- tion was made hy Mr. Newton C. Wester- field, president of the Westerfield Mining Investment Co. of Philadelphia, from the rock underlying large sections of land in the various groups in Outario and Manitoba under control of this company. Mr. Westerfield has personally developed all the properties under control of his com- pany and his demonstration was interest- ing, especially from a mechanical stand- point. He took the pieces of rock and first worked them up as fine as possible with mortar and pestle, then the crushed sub- stance was passed over a screen separating the larger particles from the sand. This saud was then placed in a large black basin, somewhat like a skillet, with wide slanting sides and some water dipped in onto it. The water dissolved the clays at once and they were poured off. More water was dipped up, the pan kept in constant agita- tion between the hands so that the water could gradually flow from it. This process was repeated a number of times, or until most of the sand and substances of light specific gravity had flowed out over the edge; leaving only a small percentage of the original in the pan and along the edge of it appeared a bright yellow streak, enough to make the wearied heart of any prospector leap for joy at its discovery and enough to indicate that in the rock used Tuesday afternoon there must be gold in paying quantities. Acide from the demonstration of the process of panning those who saw it were interested because of the fact that former prothonotary L. A. Schaeffer, of this coun- ty, has lately entered the employ of Mr. Westerfield’s company and will have charge of their home offices in Philadelphia. We understand that considerable of the stock is being taken in Bellefonte. > WALKER TOWNSHIP SCHOOL NEWS.— The school board of Walker township met at Hublersburg on Saturday afternoon to elect teachers for the coming year and trans- act other necessary business. The following resident teachers were elected : Messrs. W. Markle, L. Markle, Emory Deitrich, L. Yocum, W. H. Min- nick, A. A. Pletcher and for the High school Mr. Ammon P. Weaver, of Wolf's Store. Mr. Weaver is a young man of excellent scholastic attainments and a teacher of con- siderable experience. He has taught four years in the schools of the county, during which time he prepared for college by pri- vate study and by attending Prof. Wolf's school at Spring Mills, during the summer. In the fall of 1898 he entered Franklin and Marshall college, where he received his A. B. degree at the commencement exercises on last Thursday. During his college career he won and held the high regard of his professors and college mates, by his lofty moral ideals, his resolute devotion to right and duty, and his faithful and untiring efforts in the pursuit of knowledge and culture. He identified himself with all worthy interests in the general life of his college and sup- ported them to the extent of his ability. Educational interests were made the especial object of study during his college career. The subject of his commencement thesis being “The Study of English in-the Public Schools. This thesis was prononnced by the college authorities as a very able production. The coming of Mr. Weaver to Hublers- burg, no doubt, means a new era in the life of the public schools, since with the single exception of Prof. Black, who has been teaching the summer school there, he is the first college graduate who has taught the Walker High school for a number of years. We bespeak for him the hearty support of hoth patrons aud directors, without which no teacher can succeed. > A MARE, PHAETON AND HARNESS STOLEN.—Miss Carrie Holt, of Curtins Works, came to town on Monday morn- ing to apprise the authorities of the theft of her horse, pbeeton and harness, which occurred after ten o'clock Sunday night and probably before twelve o’clock. The animal was a good, dark sorrel mare, with small scar and black mark on the left side of the neck, rather difficult to de- tect. She is a free traveler and is a shade between a hazel and a chestnut. The Phee- ton was an old vehicle, but the harness was quite good. ? Miss Holt has no clue to the thieves, except that two men were seen loafing about the water tank along the railroad near her home daring the day. When she put the horse into the stable at ten o'clock Sunday night it sniffed and acted as though it didn’t want to go in. This unusual per- formance suggests the idea that the thief might have heen coucealed there at the time. As none of the hay was eaten out of the manger the horse was probably stol- en soon after being put into the barn. Tracts in the muddy road indicated that it bad been driven westward. A reward of $20 is offered. acl Leg -———The home of Torrence Kessinger at, Sona was struck by lightning during the storm early last Friday morning.

Landsy, of the firm of Antrim and Landsy, Philadelphia portrait artiste, has been in town this week calling on Rome of our residents with the hope of interesting them in their work. They have just delivered a magnificent pastel, 20x24, of the late Hugh Beaver, which was executed purely as an exhibition picture, but was so perfect a likeness of Gen. Beaver’s lamented son, that Mr. Gilbert White pur- chased it and presented it to the Beaver family. They are at work now on a por- trait of Gen. Beaver, himself, which Mr. White will present to The Pennsylvania State College. A ——An amusing iucident of the com- mencement exercises at State College Wed- nesday morning of last week was a little break made by president Chas. M. Schwab, of the United States steel corporation, who was on the platform waiting to deliver the commencement address. Of course Charley was big dog in the pound, people nearly looked holes through him and those who could see him were careful to smile when he smiled and applaud when he applauded. During the rendition of La Traviata by the orchestra, which was stationed in the gallery immediately above the speakers, there was a very soft strain that followed one that ended with a great crash. Charley could not see the musicians and, thinking they had completed a nnmber in masterful fashion, began to applaud for fair. He was. the only one, however, for the orchestra swelled out a little stronger just then and the steel magnate looked as though he would like to have chased himself away up stage. WEDDING BELLS AT SNOW SHOE,—The parlors and dining rooms of the Washington house at Snow Shoe were beautiful in their green and white decorations, Wednesday evening, when the guests arrived to wit- ness the marriage of Miss Rebecca D. Uzzle, the accomplished daughter of the proprietor, to Mr. James A. Russell. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. T. A. Faus, of the Methodist church, in the presence of about thirty of the nearest friends of the young couple. The maids were Miss Flora Russell, sister of the groom, and Miss Rena Uzzle, sister of the bride. They were gowned in white and carried white roses. The bride looked charming in a magnificent imported gown of white point d’ esprit. The party en- tered the parlor to the strains of Mendels- sobn’s wedding march played by Miss Josephine Uzzle. Immediately after the informal reception that followed the cere- mony a splendid collation was served. The bride is a daughter of John G. Uzzle, the well-known Snow Shoe hotel man, and is in every way qualified to make a useful companion for the man of her choice. He is an ambitious young miner and also holds the responsibie position of constable of that township. They will go to house keeping in Snow Shoe. * ceo DAWSON—MULLIGAN. — On Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock William Dawson and Miss Elizabeth Mulligan were married at the rectory of the Catholic church by the Rev. Father McArdle. It was a very unpretentious wedding but none the less happy and immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Dawson repaired to the groom's home on Halfmoon hill, where a reception was tendered them. Will is one of the mail men at the P. R. R. station in this place and an industrious, affable young man for whom the WartcH- MAN wishes nothing but happiness and success. Sta gga RECORD BREAKING BEES.—In addition to being yard master for the Penunsy at this point and principal pillar for the Union chapel at Pleasant View we never knew, until Wednesday morning, that Emanuel Noll is an apiarist. He is not merely the owner of bees for the honey they make, but finds pleasure in studying the habits and environments of the busy little insects that give to mankind its most effective lesson in industry. : Mr. Noll has had bees for several years. He has provided them with hives of most improved kind and watched their develop- ment with studied interest. He kept four hives over last winter. Two of them were of the Italian variety and two of the com- mon black bees. On May 20th he bad the first swarm, an extra large one, eight days after the bees were put into the hives they begat to bang out and he put a ‘‘super?’’ on the hives On the 17th the supers were full and he discovered that in less than one month his bees had filled up thirty-two sections and given him 125 Ibs of honey. Here is a result that Mr. Noll thinks is a record breaker and he would like to hear from any apiarist who can beat it. As to the quality of the honey we can vouch for that too, for we've had several boxes to sample from. > BELLEFONTE SCHOOL BOARD CoOMMIT- TEES.—The Bellefonte school hoard held a meeting Monday evening at which little else was done than the reading of the standing committees for the year, as they have been fixed by president Rees.

Library and Books—A. C. Mingle, Hein- le, Waite. Hard P. Harris, Fortney, dine Gsm LIGHTNING WAS AcTIVE.—The storm Saturday evening was rather severe in this section, but in the lower end of Nittany and Bald Eagle valleys and about Lock Haven it was unusual in that so many places were struck. In Lock Haven no less than five honses were damaged to a greater or less extent by the electric bolts. W. I. Harvey’s home at Flemington was struck twice, and the barn of Temple C. Smith at Beech Creek was struck and three valuable horses killed in addition to other damage. LIGHTNING’S QUEER PRANKS—During the storm at Scotia on Friday lightning struck the double house occupied hy the families of G. C. Lykens and R. E. Crone- miller. The bolt hit the Isken’s end, demolishing the flue, but ran over into Cronemiller’s kitchen, where most of the family was gathered. There it made a complete circle of the table, knocked a cap off one of the children’s head and ran out through a screen door, tearing it up badly. Aside from the fright none of the inmates of either house suffered from the bolt.
