William Shortlidge, entered into eternity on Saturday after- noon, December 26th, shortly after 1 o'clock. Mrs. Shortlidge had been so well the entire summer and fall and was so imbued serious prostration on November 1st could scarcely be credited. That day, after being to church as usual and, while walking, in company with several guests, to the home, of her sister and daughter on north Thomas street, two squares from her own home, she was suddenly stricken with an intense pain in her leftankle. Immediate- ly upon her arrival at the McCalmont home physicians were summoned but her case was practically hopeless from the first, as her heart showed great weakness. Gangrene finally developed and neither the home physicians, a city specialist, the best trained nurses or the devoted ministry of her own family could more than alleviate the suffering she was called upon to endure. Mrs. Shortlidge-- Rosanna G. McCalmont-- belonged to one of the oldest families in the State. Her great-grandfather, Thomas MecCalmont, located in what is now Marion township, in 1787. His son, James, who died in 1790 is the first person known to bave been buried in that valley and the Indians assisted his father in digging the grave. * She was born at the family home near Jacksonville,on March 16th, 1833,and her parents were James A., and Elizabeth Sterret McCalmont. She was educated at the old Jacksonville academy which flour- ished in her girlhood days as the Fairview seminary. Opn May 25th, 1857, her mar- riage to William Shortlidge took place. He was engaged in school teaching at tha time but the following year came to Belle- fonte where he will ever be remembered as one of the town’s representative and in- fluential citizens. Endowed with a most pleasing personality and a good mind. Mrs. Shortlidge was a lovely woman. Happy because life gave her the oppor- tunity of loving and working and playing, beneficient and generous she was probably personally endeared to more people than any other person in the town. Her char- acter was fully developed along the splendid lines of her Scotch Irish ancestry hut her disposition was so bright that the inherent force and vigor were cff times unseen. Kindness was the dominant factor of her those who lived near her have any conception of her many deeds. She cared much for the Presbyterian church and its work and was earnestly inter ested the W.C.T. U. aud other ways of benefiting humanity, yet her enduring monument will be the memories of her home, There she was ever most cousider- ate and gracious and =o continually shar- i ng its comforts with others that her death is certainly a loss to the community. And more than one person owe their start in life to her unselfishness and aid. Col. Shortlidge died i in Febroary,1898,and of their six children two are living. Eliza- beth—Mrs. John S. Walker—and Annie. Three sons died in infancy and the young- est daughter, Jennie, Feb, 1890. She is also & urvived by her only sister, Miss Jane MecCalmont, at whose home she died and one brother, James, of State College. Funeral services were held inthe Pres- byterian church on Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock by the pastor Rev. Dr. Laurie and interment was made privately in the Union cemetery. li I ll ANNA CLEMSON.—Just at the close of New Year's day the spirit of Miss Anna Clemson took its flight to realms of im- mortality leaving behind it the memory of a helpful, christian life spent in the work of the Master.

For some time she had made her home in apartments built for her by ber nephew, D. M. Clemson, adjoining the home of Mrs. Luther Miller, at Baileyville, and during ber illness a trained nurse was constantly present to administer to her every want. Miss Clemson was born in Milton, Dee. 26th, 1830, and located at Baileyville when a child. There she spent all of her useful life among those who loved and honored her and will cherish the memory of a bright good woman for all time to come. She was the last of the older generation of the Clemsons to pass away; having heen an aunt of D. M. Clemson, of Pittsburg; Frank H. Clemson, of this place, and Clark Clemson, of Altoona. Most of her christian efforts were di- rected through the Lutheran church of which she was a life-long member and Revs. C. T. Aikens and R. M. Campbell officiated at the interment which was made in the Gateshburg cemetery on Monday morning.

Cartin Moyer, a son of Mrs. Lucy Moyer, of Potter’s Mills, was so badly hurt in a railroad wreck on the Cumber- land Valley R. R., near Newville, last Fri- day night that he died a few hours later in the hospital at Chambersburg. Mr. Moyer was a passenger on the train when it ran into an open switch and was derailed.

But it needed no thermometer to tell that it was cold Tuesday morning, for pipes thas bad never frozen up before refused to give forth water and at 10 o'clock there} was still that cranebhing, frosty sound under foot that is unmistakable evidence of extreme cold. A$ 7 o'clock Monday evening the ther- mometer in front of Green’s drug store stood at 0°, at 10 o’cleck it registered 6° below 0, at 12 o’cloek it had dropped to 16° below 0° and Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock it had fallen clear down too 22° below 0°. There has been considerable question raised as to the accuracy of this thermometer and we do not propose to vouch for it, bat however that may be: the thermometer at Mr.. Heylmun's ‘ residence registered 18° below 0 and the bottom was knocked clear out of ones at Twitmize’s tin store and Blair’s jewelry.

CoOSCOSSC deo ooTOTER Philipsburg... No lower rorord has been reached with- in the knowledge of any citizen. The lowest one of whieh there is any account was in the month of February 1872, when the thermometer registered 22 below zero. Other years the lowest marks reached were, on February 4th, 1898, 6 a. m., 6 below; February 10th, 1899, 6:40 a. m., 18 below; February 19th,1900, at 6:30 a. m.,5 below. On February 220d, 1885,at hours from 1:45 o'clock to 9:10 in the morning, the mer- cury registered below as follows: 6, 10, 18, 19 (at 7:10), 15, 10.
