DoNATION DAY FOR THE HOSPITAL.— Some time in the next two weeks the Belle- fonte hospital is to be moved from its pres- ent location on Spring street into the Me- Kee property on Willowbank street. The hospital was established last September in Dr. Hayes’ building and almost imme- diately the managers realized that if it was to be a benefit to the people of the commu- nity or a permanent institution in the town a larger building was absolutely necessary. Many properties were inspected and dis- cussed, but the McKee homestead on Wil- lowbank street was by far the most desira- ble and suitable one in the market. Ar- rangements were made for the purchase of it and just as soon as the deal was closed contracts were made for the repairing. No improvements were undertaken at all ex- cept those absolutely necessary on account of the scarcity of means, but the house is now in first class shape. The walls have all been scraped and recoated; the plumb- ing was made as sanitary as possible; every particle of wood work inside the house was cleaned and repainted; a new heating plant was installed aud the cellar was dug out and thoroughly white-washed. The location and surroundings are ideal but there is yet a great deal of work to be done before the grounds and exterior of the building will present the well kept ap- pearance so essential toa public institu- tion. By May the 1st the nurses expect to have the patients all comfortably established in the new building and Saturday, May 2nd, has been decided upon as general donation day for the institution. Groceries and eat- ables of all kinds will be most acceptable as well as furniture for living and bed rooms, but the following is a list of articles very necessary just at present : Ward pillows, 32x18 inches. Nurses’ ‘¢ 22x32 * Small round pillows, for surgical cases, made of hair, cotton or cut straw. Spreads for single beds and 7-4 sheets. Sash cartains for 24 windows. Canned and dried fruits. Jelly and grape juice. Flour, vegetables, lard and meat. Knives, forks, spoons and dishes. Table linen and kitchen utensils. Rugs for dining and nurses’ rooms. Screens for the ward beds. Chairs for the house and porches. Brooms, scrub brushes and soap. A washing machine, tubs and wringer. soe WouLD You ?—If you got up at 3 o’clock on a cold, rainy morning, ate a cold lunch, drove ten miles through the wet to a trout stream, tumbled over loge and stones in that stream until your feet were sore, your hands and face torn by brambles and your fingers too nzmb to bait your hook again, then, as a crowning torment, fell into the water backwards and lost your hat so that the chilly drops of rain, that were falling all the while, landed on your hair and then dripped, dripped, dripped down the back of your neck and you tried to build a fire in a cabin without a chimney with wet wood and wet paper and wet matches and when you did get it started if the smoke got so thick that you had to lie with your head out the door in order to get enough breath to keep yon alive while you were trying to keep from freezing to death—— all for five little tron, would you ever go fishing again ? Of course you would ; if you have ever fished at all. —*Pe AHEAD, As USUAL :—A walk long Bish- op street a few days ago revealed Gotleib Hagg’s garden blooming in such a way as to make the writer feel that the spring was well advanced, instead of being merely in ite infancy. There were onions and lettuce and to- matoes and cabbages looking so thrifty that we fear the other early gardeners of the community will be discouraged, with Gotleib so far in advance of them. He has actually had lettuce of his own growing already and onions——well he had them while the snow was on the ground yet. We don’t know what it is bat bis plants seem to be hardier than most other peo- ples and that is probably the secret of his beautiful garden. But Gotleib is not selfish with it and will sell you all the plants you want of the very same kind he has in his own garden. A NEw IDEA.—Usually when a person bas a birthday he or she expects friends to give them some substantial reminder of the event, but our old friend and patron Abel Campbell up at Austin, in Potter Co., has just reversed the order and on the 11th gent us his annual remittance because it was the sixtieth anniversary of his birth. He has been reading the WATCHMAN for the last thirty-five or forty years and says be expects to continue reading it ’till he dies. Now if we bad the power of grant- ing perpetual life Abel would be one of the fellows we would let live. eee Ge. . JoLLY JAKE HERMAN HAs A NARROW EscAPE.—Jacob 8.
