AR + —— When the Vogel minstrels opened in Pittsburg last September the Gazette of that city said : ‘The Electrie Velour,” the title of the setting of the first part, is scen- je with electrical effects. The first pars differed little from the regular procedure of minstrel shows. The jokes were new and wholesome, while the songs throughout were well rendered and euncored many times. George W. Kerr is interlocutor and with Lew Benedict and Arthur Rigby, fur- nish their share of the fun. Joseph Eagan and George Christopher are the arfistio buck and wing dancers. The lyrie tenor of Harry Leighton pleased the audience as it hae done for many years past. The golos aud choruses were well rendered, with precision and plenty of volame. The nov- elties are no less pleasing than the minstrel part. Among the specialties are the great Knetzer, who performs marvelous ambi- dextrous tricks with clubs and hoops; Ar- thur Rigby, in good monologues and the Melrose troupe of “acrobats.

VALENTINE.—Abiam Sharp- Jess Valentine died at the home of Miss Emily Natt, his sister-in-law, on Curtin street, at an early hour Friday morning. He had been ill for several months and his ‘death was due to a decline that neither. physician’s skill, nor most patient nursing could circamment. He was one of the few remaining repre- sentatives of the second generation of the family that will ever be remembered as the pioneers of the iron industry in this section. They came to Bellefonte from Chester county in it 1815 and were direct descend- ants of Robert Valentine, who died in Eogland in 1650. He was the son of Abram 8. Valentine Sr. His birth in this place on October 16th, 1835, made him one of our oldest residents and while his home bad not been continuously in Bellefonte the best years of his life, his greatest ener- gies and all of his active business engage- ments were exerted here for the benetit of this community. Aside from his life long connection with the varying fortunes of the Valentine iron enterprises, he was one of the incorporators of the Beliefonte glass works in 1867, and the year following, with his three brothers, be incorporated the Valentine Iron Co., which was later removed to Williamsport. Responding to the first call for troops in ’61 he left with the Bellefonte Fencibles, serving with distinction under Capt. John Mitchell. : July 12th, 1864, he married Miss Elma Uffington Natt, a piece of Rev. George Natt, the first rector of St. John’s Episco- pal church in° this place. She sur- vives him with their three sons: Charles G., of San Francisco Cal., Arthur L., of Crafton, Pa.,, and Edward A. Uffington, of Baltimore, Md., who has recently be- came quite noted as an author. He also leaves two brothers, Evan M., of Philadel- phia; and Harry C.,of Bellefonte, and three sisters, Mrs. Rebecca V. Pugh, Misses Clara and Mary of Bellefonte. Funeral services were held at Miss Natts’ home on Sunday afternoon with the Rev. George I. Brown, of the Episcopal chureh, officiating and Rev. Joseph Harrison, of Windber, of the Society of Friends, assist- ing. Interment was wade in the Friends burying ground in this place. Mr. Valentine was a gentleman whose death is a matter of more than ordinary moment, for while the later years of his life were not intimately associated with the town the earlier ones were co full of ac- tivity and counted for #0 much in the formative period when its repute for stability and character of citizenship was being builded up that we owe him a debt that will best be repaid in the memory that he was a useful man. I I I Miss HANNA HARTSWICK—A life-long aud very popular resident of Stormstown passed away when Miss Hanna Hartswick died. Her demise occurred at the home of her sister Mrs. Mansell, wife of the former Mayor of Williamsport, in that city, on Friday, after a short illuess of heart troub- le. With her sister Henrietta she bad been in the babit of spending most of the winter months in Williamsport, returning to Stormstewn in the spring, there to re-open the listle millinery store they bave cop- ducted for many years. She was a daughter of the late ‘‘Judge”’ John Hartswick and a woman of extra-or- dinary qualities. Her entire life was giv- en up in devotion and service to the afflict- ed of her own and ether families about her. She was a woman who will be greatly missed in the community where she was so greatly beloved. For twenty-four years she served the people of Stormstewn and vicinity as post-mistress, so that it is no surprise that ber death was the cause of SOFrow to many. Her remains were brought to her old | home in this comnty on Saturday and in- terment was made Sunday morning.

One more golden link in the ebain draws the waiting ones heavenward. Through faith these stricken friends are enabled to say, ‘‘This is not death, this is transition. Francis had no fear of the dark valley, and we can take consolation when we think of the trials, sorrows, and 'tempta- tions she has escaped by being reealled so early in life. The value of Christian faith has been beautifully displayed by the for- situde of these parents in their double affliction, and it also has been clealy evinced that this light, apparently put out too soon, still shines, and is proving a blessing in disguise to her associates. ‘‘Meet me there.” Interment in the New Millport ceme- tery, Rev’s.
