After a delightful wedding break fast Mr. and Mrs. Stover departed for a trip to Pittsburg and other points in the western part of the State. THE REFORMED CHURCH REOPENED.— Sunday, so bright and glorious, marked an epoch in the history of St. John’s Reformed church in this place. The services held in that stately edifice commemorated its re- dedication to the worship of God and in- spired the: members of ‘that congregation with a new zeal. : For several months the church had been closed, a complete transformation was be- ing made in its interior and when it was thrown open again on Sunday the large crowds in attendance at the several serv- ices during the day were charmed with the metamorphosis. While St. John’s has always been one of the most imposing looking churches in town its interior had hecome so unat- tractive as to have a most depressing effect on those who worshipped there. Resolved to relieve their sanctuary of such an un- inviting atmosphere the small congrega- tion liberally responded to the proposition to redecorate it and a firm from Hagers- town, Md., was called into service, with the result that a striking change bas been wrought. The walls have been frescoed in a delicate fawn shade, with the windows set out in panels. The ceiling changed from a light water color to its original oak, thus setting off the heavy vaulted trusses ina manner so attractive in church in- teriors. The pulpit recess has been given up fora choir loft which is separated from the chancel by a rail running almost across the front of the church. This places the pulpit to the right of the centre aisle and the read- ing desk to the left. In the former pulpit recess a large Doric arch, with a central cross and crown, is the only attempt at decoration other than the simple, imvres- sive shades that prevail on the side walls and ceilings, It is illumined by concealed lights in such .a, way as to give a most striking effect. The other lighting of the church is by four bunches of electrics, drop- ped from the arched ceiling over the cen- tre aisle, and single brackets at the hottom of each truss. The services on Sunday were in charge of the pastor, Rev. Ambrose Schmidt, but the sermons, both morning and evening were delivered by Rev. Dr. J. Spangler Keifer, of Hagerstown, whose [father or- ganized the Bellefonte congregation in 1836. His sermons were both scholarly treatments of appropriate texts. An in- spiring feature of the services was the choir, which: bad been specially augmented for the day. At the conclusion of the evening sermon Rev. Schmidt announced that the improve- meats had all been paid for and a small surplus left, almost enough to pay fora new stone pavement along the west side of the church property. . This was a particu- larly gratifying condition, but only char- acterigtic. of the Reformed congregation, which seems to have abundant resources for everything it undertakes ; 15 ee. A NEW CHURCH DEDICATED.—The new Methodist church at Hannah Furnace was dedicated to the service of the Master under most auspicious circumstances on Sunday. The loveliest of fall days it spread gladsome sunshine and hopefulness everywhere ; carrying to the peopie of Hannah Furnace ian especial message of good cheer. i The dedicatory sermon was preached by the Rey. Dr. E. J. Gray, of Dickinson Seminary, who also preached in the even- ing and. was assisted by Prof. Chase, W. H. Lingenfelter and the pastor, Rev. E. 8. Latshayw. The. church is a comfortable frame structure, with belfry, and stands on a lot donated by Samuel Hoover. It isonly a short distance from the crumbling stack of old Hannah furnace that was erected in 1828. The entire expense of the church was made up and a neat surplus secured at the service. Sh rr tey- A ROUSING: DEMOCRATIC MEETING.— That there is no apathy among the Centre county Democrats and that there is a fixed determination on the part.of many Repub- licans to support Pattison was demonstra- ted last night by the attentive audience that was given Hon.

They spoke to a large crowd in the court house and quite in contrast to the indif- ferent hearing given Pennypacker at’ his meeting here every persen remaived to its close. . } The State College and Coleville bands | were in attendance.

PoTTER.—Mrs. Sarah Irvin Potter, widow of Captain W. Wilson Potter and an honored resident of this place, died at the home of her son, George L. Potter, on Linn street, Friday evening. Mrs. Potter was eighty-two years of age but she was so ununsunally alert and ener- getic for a person of her years that the an- nouncement of her death was rather un- expected, except to those near her. She fell while going down stairs on Sunday October the 5th and although she did not seem to have suffered any serious injury the shock was so great that she could not recuperate from and grew weaker day by day. Mrs. Potter is the last of the Johan Irvin family, all of ‘whom attained prominence and distinetion. Daring his life time her father was one of Centre county’s best known citizens and at the time of his death owned more land in Pennsvalley thao any other person except the Potters.

On February 6th, 1844, she was united in marriage to Wil- liam Wilson Potter and for some years afterwards resided at Centre Furnace. In 1864 they moved to this place, where Mr. Potter was until his death. on July 7th, 1884, the agent for the Pennsylvania R. R. company. Mrs. Potter was most affable and kind. She had the fine presence and quiet manners of her family and was an intelligent, benevolent woman. She was a beloved member of the Presbyterian church and always cared for most sympathetically and generously the sick or distressed in her neighborhood. She is survived by her two sons, Johu I. Potter, agent for the Pennsylvania R. R. at this place, and George L. Potter with whom she made her home, and a wide circle of relatives and friends. Faneral services were held on Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the family home on Linn street. Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian church, officiated, assisted by Rev. Dr. Shriner, of the Methodist church. The pall bearers were her nephews A. G. Curtin Jr., of Philadelphia, John 1. Thomp- gon, William Thompson, James I. Thomp- son, James H. Potter and Gen. J. I.
