The pic- nic this year will be out of the ordinary. turning over of the land for the new Belle- fonte hatchery at Pleasant Gap station there is another agreeable bit of news in which the people of this community will be interested. As is well known money had to be raised by our citizens to secure the land on which to locate the hatchery and when the ground was finally staked off Fish Com- missioner Meehan was so well pleased with it that he remarked that if there were only more room he would establish a bass hatchery here too. This addition . to. the first undertaking was very much to be desired, but those money felt that they had done about all they couid in that direction and unless some one else came to the front to relieve them it could not be realized. At this juncture Col. thropic spirit came to the fore and he offer- ed to give four acres of land from the “black barn’ farm which he recently pur- chased from the Hastings estate. The land adjoins that already in possession of the State and fills every requirement for the bass hatchery. Col. Pruner’s gift, rated at what was ‘paid for the other land, amounts to $500,to which might be added a cash contribution of $25 which had been previously made to the project. It is an evidence of his public spiritedness and his interest in the well- fare of the community in which he lived when a boy. In this selfish,avaricious day such acts are so rare that the public will bear this one in mind as being partioalarly generous. : On Wednesday Fish Commissioner Meeban and John P. Creveling, of Allen- town, who is to be superintendent of the hatchery, arrived here to begin the work of grading and building. A large force of men wiil be needed as the hatchery is sup- posed to be ready for operations by Oc- tober 1st. ee ie A NIGHT AT THE CouNTRY CLUB.—The Nittany Country Club house at Hecla park was opened with an impromptu ‘‘house warming’’ on Monday evening and over one hundred guests were precent to enjoy the entertainment that had been so hur- riedly arranged, yet so successfully carried out that it proved more than delightfal. Many went down on the train while oth- ers preferred the drive in the gorgeous light of the full harvest moon. All were met by Col. J. L. Spangler, J. W. Gephart Esq. and L. T. Munson, representing the board of governors of the club, and given a cordial welcome. The broad verandas and spacious rooms of the club were ablaze with light and life; the card and billiard rooms were full of players, and Smith’s orchestra played for those who danced. Refreshments were served in the dining hall of the club and at 11:30 the party took a special train for home. In addition to the members and their families and friends from this vicinity the following out of town guests were present : Mr. and Mrs. Bert Canfield, of Wyncote ; Mrs. James R.

He was picked up and taken to Greensburg where an undertaker prepared the remains for burial and sent them to his late home in this county. His parents and two brothers survive. A strange fatality has followed this fam- ily. Oune brother lost his life on the rail- road, another was killed in the lumber woods, and a third has only one legas a result of a railroad accident. KILLED NEAR PHILIPSBURG.— Walking on the railroad track to carry her hushand’s dinner to him Mrs. Charles Long, of Phil- ipsburg, was run down by a train, on Mon- day morning, and almost instantly killed.

She was a very nice woman and her death bas thrown the pall of gloom over a large circle of friends in Philipsburg. Surviving her are her aged husband and several chil- dren.

It is from that structure that a boy will dive on the evening of the festival, a feat that will doubtless attract a great many people to the place. *de ——During the storm that passed over that section last Thursday evening light- ning struck J. H. Miller’s barn near Rock Springs, while several of the family were in it doing the work. The barn was filled with dunst and sulphur fames but all of the persons escaped without serious injury.
