wrecked in one of the front wheels,
=—TFditor John Miller, of the News, is

When he gets after the burgess, street

whether John is as sincere as he is versa-
tile.

Huntingdon. The Bishop unfrocked Rev.
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.

On Saturday afternoon Reuben Houser,

exchanged. Houser gave bail to keep the

what shall be done with him.
——Marcus A. Landsy, of the firm of

on Rome of our residents with the hope of

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.

——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-

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.

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.

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.

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.

of Pennsylvania will be held in Altoona
June 24th, 25th and 26th. It will be the

from the department of law at the Univer-
sity in Philadelphia on Wednesday morn-
