If the ground-hog is assuccessful in fore- casting the weather as the Berks connty goose bone man was, we can look for six week’s more of winter weather. The little rodent was on deck Monday and the sun afforded him an excellent opportunity to see his shadow. ‘ On last Saturday Andrew Glenn, of the Branch, tumbled down stairs and is now ander Dr. J. Y. Dale's care suffering with a badly bruised shoulder. This coupled with heart tronble is rendering his condition rath- er alarming and especially since he is nota young man by any means. At the Daniel Houser saw mill last Friday J. B. White almost had his left foot severed from his leg. Dr. Dale was called imme- diately and it required thirty some stitches to sew up the wound, which was so painful that the patient was kept under the influence of ether during the operation. Rev. Hepler is holding week night meet- ings in the Presbyterian church and they are being largely attended. Rev. R. M. Campbell, of Graysville, opened the meet- ings on Monday evening with an excellent germon delivered in his usual eloquent man- ner. His subject was when Andrew brought: his brother Simon to Jesus. The happiest man on earth and the one that will fare best in the great beyond is the one who is constantly doing for others. In this useful character Rev. C. T. Aikens has endeared himself to this community. On last Friday the William Musser heirs placed in his library a handsome library desk asa reminder of their appreciation of his services as one of the administrators of their estate which he rendered free of charge. Albert Ward, a former resident of this township, died at his home in Petrolenm, Pa., on Saturday morning after a briefill- - ness of paralysis.

The deceased wasborn near Meek’s church 54 years ago and was the youngest of ten brothers. He was a member of the Lutheran church and an ardent Democrat. He was well-to-do and leaves his family in very comfortable circumstances. He is sur- vived by his wife, one daughter, two sons and three brothers, John, of Stormstown; William, of Philipsburg; and J. K. Polk Ward, of Washington, Pa. Cupip StiLL. THROWs His DARTS—On the evening of January 28th, George W. Bloom, of Pine Hall, and Miss Alice Gar- brick, of State College, presented themselves at the parsonage here equipped with the nec- essary papers from register A. G. Archey for permission for their marriage. Rev. Aikens soon pronounced them man and wife and after the knot was securely tied the happy bride and groom returned to the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Ellen Garbrick, at State College. The groom is the youngest son of Henry Bloom, of Pine Hall, and isa most worthy and industrious young man. The bride is a splendid young lady kind and gentle and will do her part in making their home one of happiness and bliss. ‘THE FARMERS INSTITUTE,—The Farmers institute which convened at Rock Springs, on Friday the 30th, was a great success. At the opening session W. H. Fry, was chosen chairman and Claude B. Hess, secretary and tressarer. Standing room in the hall was at a premium and all of the roads were lined with sleds and sleighs. The choir was nnder the direction of Prof. Tressler and Mrs. J. H. Musser, presided at the splendid new piano. Rev. R. M. Campbell made the ad- dress of welcome and Dr. 1. A. Thayer, of New Castle, responded very eloquently on behalf of the State Board of Agriculture. ‘Poultry Raising’ by Miss Mary Tressler, was well composed and brought out many questions in the question box. When 1t was stated that the products of the poultry yards exceeded the net earnings of all the railroads there was much surprise manifest- ed. The various breeds, methods of care and conditions were then discussed at length. “Value of fertility and the cheapest way to get it, was ably handled by R. S. Seeds. Cow turnips and crimson clover wére highly ing position in the above city. recommended as a means to thatend. The evening session was devoted to educational questions. The subject of Prof. M. E. Heber- ling’s talk was ‘‘Parents and Scholars.” He was followed by Prof. H. M. Morris, whose subject was ‘‘Centralization of Schools.” Joel A. Herr made a strong plea for graded schools in the country districts. Rev. C.T. Aikens followed with an earnest appeal for the boys not to be in a hurry to leave the farm. The principle addresses and discus- sions of the institute were on ‘‘Soil Improve- ment. ‘‘The selection and care of cows and the preparation of the seed bed,” by R. S. Seeds, Dr. Thayer, Joel Herr and others. Mr. McCracken spoke on general farming and Mr. Bowersox gave his experience in the use of lime. All of the addresses contained much useful information and were delivered in a most entertaining and pleasing manner. The recitations of the Institute were Far Away Manilla, Maud Irvin; The 40 acre farm, Maud Miller ; The pants aunt Jemina made; Aunt Jemina’s courtship, Anna Dale ; The] colonial ball, Harold Williams ; Lady Clair, Anna M. Goheen. Addresses of appreciation and thanks were plenty and the chairman in just a few words thanked the vast audience in conclusion for the intelligent attention and good conduct throughout the session. Then the choir sang the faded coat of blue and the institute was adjourned Sine die.

Frank Whitehill and family came to our town on Saturday from Braddock, where he has been carpentering for the last three or four months. He reports work slack owing to want of material and that cannot be pro- cured owing to railroad companies not being able to move the freight that is being sent from all parts. On Wednesday evening of last week four sled loads of people from State College, Buffalo-run, and this village repaired to the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. William Glenn, near Rock Forge, to have a good time and to surprise Mrs. Glenn, as that was the anniversary of her birth. They all report having had a grand time, and the sled ride could not be surpassed. Acknowledgment. Roland, Pa., February 4th, 1903. It is impossible for me, under the ecircum- stances, to acknowledge se tely the more than eighty beautiful and sympathetic letters and telegrams from all parts of Pennsylvania. New York, New Jersey and Maryland which were re- ceived by me during my sad and terrible bereave- ment or to acknowledge the kind visitation of friends who so kindly tendered their Sympathy and assistance, so I take this means—which think will be freely tendered to me by the papers published in Bellefonte — to acknowledge the above and also for the tribute of beautiful flowers from Maj. General Miller and Staff, the teachers at the 8.0. School at Chester Springs and of Scott- dale, relatives .and others in Philadelphia and Centre County, I am deeply grateful. For the ministers who officiated at the house on the sad occasion, éoming from Howard, Belle- fonte and Harrisburg. For the singers who came from Bellefonte and sang the beautiful hymns, For the members of pcsts 261 and 95 who attended the funeral in a body and for all, who by attend- ance at funeral or assisted in any way during the sad time, mv heart goes cut in grateful thanks and is deeply touched with feelings I shall never forget.
