r-gverything possible to cater to the taste of
“the public.
The authorities of this place were

{%ab was fished out of the race near Crider’s
mill by the employees. Of conrse there
were all sorts of rumors of infantacide,
murder, eto., but after several experts ex-
amined them the bones were pronounced to
be those of some other animal than a child.
Two boys named Lindsay and Wat-
sou dropped into the store of James Stine,
the blind man, on Thomas street, Monday
afternoon, and while one of them was mak-
ing a small purchase the other slipped be-
Lind the couiter and stole $3 from the

his loss until later, when he informed his
Nor A SuccEss.—Whatever else may be
the ontcome of the question as to how the
citizens of our town are to secure the most
liberal supply of water at the least expense,
oue plan upon which council bas been act-
ing, and from which it Meld out such great
expectations, has met with a serious back-
set. Through somebody’s miscalculations
a wheel much too large for the capacity of
the spring has been put in place and stands
there unable, or indisposed, to pump as much
water into the reservoir in a day as a thirsty
cow would drink in half that time. In
fact such is the amount of water required
to keep the wheel in motion that when run
for the space of 30 minutes there is only
sufficient water left to keep the machine
moving and none whatever to supply the
town. So that the question for the council
now to solve is whether it is best to give
up the water or give up the wheel. As
there would be no excuse for putting the
people of the town to the expense of buy-
ing meters to measure water that is not
furnished, we presume the determination
of those who have charge of this matter
will decide them to try some other method,
or at least some other wheei.
The difficulty the council meets now is
the fact that it has placed the town entire-
ly at the merey of wheel builders and pump
makers and, in the end, will he compelled to
pay just whatever price they may demand
for the machinery that must be had. Com-
mon prudence would have dictated to
thoughtful men the necessity of preserving
intact the old wheel and the old pump—
particularly the pump, £0 that in case of
necessity, it could have been resorted to as
a make-shift while another was being se-
cured and placed. But this was not done.
As soon as the old one was taken out it was
sold as junk and parts of it have already
been used for other purposes. Thus the
town must for weeks, and possibly months,
rely upon the more costly method of steam
pumping for its entire water supply. In
addition, to get back to where we were
when this experimenting with the water
works began, will cost any where from $500
toa $1,000. And we areonly at the be-
ginning of the management that promises
such great reforms in these matters. Verily
a water rate that fixes the cost of the water
used by Bellefonte tax payers at $35,000 as
the recent new rate does as against $5,000,
the amount that it bas heretofore cost, may
be needed beforeall is over.

was in town on Tuesday. While here Mr.
Reese gave usa summary of his work which
we know will prove of interest to a great
number of the readers of the WATCHMAN.

A WELL REMEMBERED BIRTHDAY.—
It has been the pleasure and custom of the
Burnside family for many years to distin-
guish the birthday of tbeir mother, Mus.
Rebecca Thomas Burnside, with some fes-
tivity for her older friends and associates.
This year ber birthday, the seventy-ninth,
came on Sanday the 13th, which precluded
the usual celebration but afforded an aus-
picious opportunity for quite a number of
her friends to visit her informally and ex-
tend their congratulations and good wishes.
Twenty-five or thirty of her most intimate
friends enjoyed the family’s hospitality
during the evening and a very pleasing
feature of the anniversary was the remem-
brance of Mrs. Burnside’s love of music
by several members of the Episcopal church.
They were present after the evening's
church service and sang several of her fav-
orite hymns. Mrs. Burnside is deserving
of all the happiness and comforts she is en-
joying and the afternoon of her life is being
passed amid surroundings uausually peace-
ful and pleasant.

and torn as if it had passed through a fod-
der shredder, fruit hammered from the t1ees
and gardens mere mud patches in which
leafless plants and battered vegetables alone
were visible. The storm lasted but a short
time and extended over a strip of country
only about three miles wide and about two
