The engagement has been announced of the Rev. Richard Crittenden, our as- siduous missioner, and Mrs. Emily Van Billiard, of Bethlehem.

While the principal part of the affair was the menu, w hich was devious and abundant, quite a lot of time was taken up in conjuring up verbal bouquets which the corperation threw at the men and the men tossed back at the corporation. It is a noticeable fact that the Potter & Hoy Co. treats its men with a consideration that cannot but make for the welfare of their business. Em- ‘ployers and employes are on such terms of intimacy and friendliness as to make a most proficient working force. REV. DAVID H. BARRON-—Rev. David H. Barron D. D., dean of the Huntingdon Presbytery and the beloved pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Hollidays- burg for the past forty-one years, died at his home in that place on Saturday morn- ing after a few days illness from pneu- monia. Faneral services in charge of the charch session were held in Hollidaysburg on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. James H. Mathers, of Bellwood, pre- siding. Interment was made in the Presby- terian cemetery in Hollidaysburg. Dr. Barron was born at Pine Grove Mills in this county, August 29th, 1828. He was the son of John and Jane Ferguson Barron, and when thirteen years of age accompa- nied his family to Fulton county, where they resided for some years. The foundation of his education was laid at the Shade Gap academy when Rev. L. Y. McGinness was in charge: Immediately upon being grad- uated from Jefferson College at Cannons- burg in 1855 he entered the Allegheny Theological seminary and was ordained in 1858. He was pastor of the Presbyterian church at Mount Pleasant in Westmore- land county from that time until Novem- ber 1861 when he was installed pastor of the Hollidaysburg church. Dr. Barron’s fortieth anniversary as pastor of the Holli- dayshurg charge, which was celebrated by the Huntingdon Presbytery on October 23rd, 1901, exceeded any demonstration of bomage that has ever been paid to any minister in Central Pennsylvania. Atita purse containing $2,307 was presented to him by his congregation and friends. It is estimated that fourteen hundred people were present at his funeral services on Tuesday afternoon and a most unusual manifestation of sorrow was evinced. Surviving him are his widow, one daugh- ter, Eliza M., and one son, James M. of New Biddeford, Maine. I ll l WILLIAM HOGARTH.—This community was startled on Saturday’ morning to re- ceive a message announcing the death of William Hogarth, which bad occurred that worning in Scottdale, where he was work- ing at his trade as a boiler maker. Mr. Ho- garth had been a partner in the, Bellefonte boiler works, until they were closed a few months ago. Since that time he has been workiug in many parts of the State. He was a man of great strength, the picture of health and activity and that he should die as he did, without a moment’s warning, seemed most nnexpected. Deceased was born in Milwaukee, Wis., 44 years ago. It has heen sixteen years since he came to Bellefonte and two years later he married Miss Lizzie Knepp, of Juniata county, who survives him with their one son, Leroy. A son by his first marriage is also living at Colfax, Ill. Mr. Hogarth was a member of Bellefon(e castle K. G. E. and of the Logan engine Co., both of which organizations turned out in a body to his funeral on Tuesday. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian church, of- ficiated. ‘“ en li MRS. WILLIAM DALE.—After more than a year’s suffering with cancer Mrs. Mary M. Dale, wife of William Dale, passed away at her home near Pleasant Gap, on the 1st ins. She was the daughter of Jacob and Sarah Rhoue, and was born on the family home- ‘stead in Potter township in 1833, Early in life she connected herself with the church and was active in its work as long as her health permitted. The Lutheran church at the Gap will miss her helpful and christ- ian kindliness, for she was a woman of far more than ordinary attainments and ability. -Surviving her are her husband and the following brothers and sisters : Jacob Rhone, of Allegheny; Leonard Rhone, of Centre Hall; Mrs. John Hess, of Pine Grove Mills, Mrs. E. E. Sankey, of Potters Mills; Mrs. John Hixon, of Alden, Towa; Mrs. Louts Mason, of Grinnell, Towa. The funeral services were held in the Lutheran church at Pleasant Gap, on Mon- day at 12, conducted by Rev. Stonecypher. Interment ens made at Boalshurg. MiSs GERTRUDE PRATT. —At the age of 23 when there seemed most of promise and hope in her life Gertrude, the daughter of Mr. and Mus. Riley Pratt, of Unionville, died. Her death, which occurred on Mon- day morning, was caused by pneumonia, with which she had suffered only a short time. Having been a member of the Presbyter- ian church she was enthusiastic in all of its efforts for good; throwing her pure young soul into every undertaking with a light- ness and zeal that was inspiring. Surviving her are her parents and these sisters and brothers : Frank, David, Seth, Howard, James and Elizabeth and Mis. Black, of Harrisburg. Interment was made at Unionville on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. I ll li GEORGE ASTON.—The funeral services over the remains of the late George Aston were held at bis home at the Forge on San. day morning by the Rev. What ton, pastor of the M. E. church. Interment was made at the Advent cemetery. The deceased was a son of Owen Aston and was born at Rock Forge. He was aged 58, years, 10 months and 20 days. For twenty years he had been employed at Linn and McCoy’s and had been sick for sixteen months. The cause of his death: was dropsy, brought on by a complication of diseases. He is survived by his wife, one daughter and four sons. ll I ll ——An eight months old child of An- drew Shawver died at the family home in Penn township, last Thursday, and was HENRY BROCKERHOFF.—The town of Bellefonte lost a useful citizen when Henry Brockerhoff died. He was honored among us asa man of strict integrity, considerable business acumen, great charity, a devout church man and a pleasant, helpful friend. His death occurred in the University hos- pital, in Philadelphia, last Saturday morn- ing, after an illness so short that the an- nouncement of its sad termination fairly stunned this community. While he had not been in his nsual vigor since last August he did not regard his condition with alarm until a few weeks ago, when he was prevailed upon to enter the hospital for special treatment, but be- fore his case had been diagnosed pleurisy developed and, on Christmas day, he was stricken with pneumonia. Mr. Brockerhoff was the second son of the late Henry and Margaret C. Mullen Brockerhoff. He was born in this place 46 years ago and ever since reaching man- hood had been identified with the manage- ment of the extensive Brockerhoff inter- ests in this community. After the death of his father, in 1878, he assumed the en- tire control of affairs, in conjunction with his brothers Andrew and Joseph, and has practically been at the head of the busi- ness ever since. He was so closely identi- fied with Bellefonte and its varied inter- ests that few people will fully realize the great loss we have sustained in his death. He was peculiarly a Bellefonter; having no thought or concern for anything thas did not make for the good of his native town. He moved about, welcomed in all spheres as a friend. Shrewd in business, honest in character and faithful in his devotions to God. Surviving him are his sister, Miss Mary, and his brother, Dr. Joseph Brockerhoff. Mass for the repose of his soul was cele- brated in St. John’s Catholic on Wednes- day morning by the Rev. P. McArdle. The large throng of people who filled that stately edifice daring the service being a silent enlogium to the dead. Mauy of the stores of the town were closed during his funeral. The pall bearers were T. H. Hamilton, Geo. T. Bash, John I Potter, W. M. Ogles- by, Chas. H. Bergner, C. M. Parrish, W. P. Humes and John M. Dale. ll ll ll DIED VERY SUDDENLY. —Mr, and Mrs. R. 8. Brouse and their son Will returned, Wednesday evening, from Philadelphia where they were attending the funeral of Mr. Brouse’s mother. Mis. Brouse has vis- ited here several times and is very favor- ably remembered for her pleasing person- ality and genial ways. She was a vigor- ous and healthy woman and her death, on New Year’s evening, was most unexpected. It occurred in Riverside, Conn., at the home of Mrs. Walker, a friend, where she had heen visiting for several weeks. She had just gone into the pantry to get a glass of water when she was overcome with apo- plexy and died instantly. Her body was taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Reiley, at Ogontz, and there funeral services were held on Monday at 2 o'clock. She was seventy- one years of age and is survived by five children. Mr. Brouse, it will be remem- bered, passed away just fone Jeary ago. The remains of Mrs. Susan Bair were interred at the home of her girlhood, in Poit Matilda,on Wednesday; ber death hav- ing cast a pall of sorrow over the entire com- munity in which she was known and loved so well as a girl, before she was married and moved to Curwensville, where she died while undergoing a surgical operation ou Sunday. She was the daughter of post- master H. H. Osman, of Port Matilda, and was born in that place 25 years, 9 months and 12 days ago. Her busband, William Bair, her parents. two brothers and six sis- ters survive. Interment was made in the new cemetery after services had been held in the Methodist church. ll l f —— Luther Kerlin, formerly a resident of Roopsburg and a son of Mrs. Charles Eckenroth, of Howard street, was so ser- iously burt in New York that his mother was telegraphed for on Wednesday. He was a foreman of brick woikers and met with a fall that injured him so seriously that he died yesterday morning. His body will be brought here this evening and taken to the Eckenroth house, where fun- eral services will be held tomorrow after- noon at 3:30. i ~——Miss Genevieve Doran, a sister of Miss Julia Doran, the well known musi- cian, died in Pittsburg on Sunday after a ten days’ illness of typhoid fever.

The breaking out of the former made general vaccination nec. essary and a vaccine board composed of Dr. Dobbins, Dr. Klump and Dr. Sebring was appointed and a rate of 50cts per case was made for them. Under this arrangement Mr. Quigley asked for the payment of a bill of $10 for Dr. Dobbins; at the same time stating that the other two physicians bad not presented their hills up to that time. In the typhoid case he asked for the paymeut of a bill for analyzing milk and water, a necessity in order to locate the cause of the trouble.” Dr. Seibert’s term on the board having expired he was reap- pointed.

This council said they bad the 1ight to do on their own authority. Inasmuch as the pump has been falling back a few revolutions, without any ap- parent cause, recently we would suggest to the Water committee that they give it a long and very critical trial before accept- ing it. And as to measuring the water it pumps it should be done, by all means even if the purchase of a meter is necessary, but it seems to us that the firm from which they have been buying .so many expensive meters should lend them one of the larger size needed only for this short experiment, The treasurer’s report showed a balance of $2,781.73 in the Boro fund and a balance of $47.35 in the Water fund ; whereupon council approved the payment of the fol- lowing bills and adjourned : —Mrs. Julia A.

Last evening it was announced that he was holding his owo and had a chance to recover if no new complications develop.
