Upon motion of John Olewine, of Bellefonte, last years committee of management was continued for this years picnic. It is com- posed of J. C. Meyer Esq. and J. Will Con- ley, of Bellefonte, and Geo.

His BEE STORY.—Some days ago we called Emanuel Noll to book for not hav- ing his usual annual bee story ready for publication. You know Emanuel is one of those gentlemen apiarists who is in the business for the pleasure more than any thing else he gets from the little bees, but he does happen to get a great lot of delicious honey——this we can vouch for be- cause his generosity always gets away with him and most of the honey, for that mat- ter. But to get back to the story. He says that on July 4th a prime swarm issued and on July 25tb they had completed one super of honey and were working bard on the second. Now this is truly wonderful and we doubt if any apiarist in the country can recall a more unusual feat. In fact many of them will discredit this story, but they | need not do it because Mr. Noll is a per- fectly reliable man and if he had told wus that each and every one of that prime swarm that issued on July 4th had bad old glory streaming from the end of his stinger and a picture of uncle Sam on one wing and Miss Columbia on the other we would have believed it all the same. . meee Al eee. BEGAN OPERATIONS ON WEDNESDAY.— On Wednesday the Bellefonte Furnace Co. began taking stone from its new quarry at Coleville. The work is under the super- vision of Sam’l Sheffer, formerly with the American Co., and will be carried on in such proportions as the needs of the fur- nace necessitate. The quarry is the one opened and operated by the Collins men, when they built the furnace, and there has been some talk of the present ownere trest- ling across to it from the top of their cin- der dump. The cinder bas been run ‘out in the direction of the quarry so far that it would not take a very long trestle and it would be so far above the Bellefonte Central tracks that no trouble would likely come from that quarter from the building of the overhead work. Inquiry at the Furnace Co’s. office brought the information that the trestle is not to built, at least not right away, so the stone will be taken up to tbe furnace over the Bellefonte Central $rmcke, which alretdy extend into the quarry. & eee QA rrr Bi oop FELLOWS Pio¥ic ~The 0dd Fellows of St a Coleg, Le- » Bellefonte, Pine Gr ve Mills: and ok burg are arrang hold a large | basket picnic and reanion on the 27th of August.
