Henry F. Evey, purchased the Isaac Tressler property which was put up at pub- lic sale last Friday, for eight hundred dole lars. The cold weather in these parts makes a good market for potato merchants for many of those that the farmers had stored in the cellars have been frozen. They sell readily at oue dollar per bushel. Wednesday of last week was the day that the Penna Dutch people say will either make or break the ice, but as we can see it made ice thisjtime for the roads,at this writing, are a solid [cake of ice from one side to the other. Rev.

The Lemont Young American cornet band was re-organized Monday night of last week, as it has been two or three years since the town has had a band I suppose everyone will be pleased to spend a few minutes eac week listening to the music. William Kline, a son of Cornelius Kline, of Oak Hall, came home Tuesday’ forenocn to enjoy a short visit. ‘Itis ‘about two year since he has been seen on the streets of Oak Hall, but does not look the worse for his long sojourn in the western part of the State. Tuesday morning, as Gilbert Boyer was standing outside of Irvin J.

The horse kept running till it reach- ed John |Shuey’s barnyard fence which he jumped and began to eat from the straw stack. : Sunday night, as two students from State College, were driving through town their horse succeeded in getting away from them and taking the} old Boalsburg pike it was going [up the] hillljbetween Oak Hall and Boalsburg where he kicked himself loose from the sleighland then ran to Boalsburg before being caught. : Hublersburg.

The bride was the recipient of many useful and beautiful pres- ents and all join inthearty congratulations. Spring Mills. I hear of qaite a number of building opera tions to be entered into during the spring and summer. Some of rather an extensive character. But as yet nothing is in a definite shape. A very dangerous crossing is the one at which John Rader was hurt last Thursday and the railroad company could with very little expense throw a bridge immediately over the track. Why not urge this matter now, or will we wait ’til half a dozen or more are killed. On Saturday evening last quite a large number of the K. G. E. astounded David Burrell, one of our highly esteemed citizens, and an old veteran of the Civil war by call. ing’on him in a body, and in a manner, tak- ing entire possession of his residence, the oc- casion being the anniversary of his birthday. Although, Mr. Burrell is a member of the organization, so well was it kept a secret, that hethad not the remotest idea that such a visitiwas in contemplation. It was a surprise party in every sense of the word. Besides the members of the order, quite a large num- berjof his relatives and friends were present. An elegant and substantial supper had been quietly provided to which all did ample justice. An evening of extreme pleasure and enjoyment followed. Professor C. E. Zeigler[presided at the organ, Mrs. Margaret Ruhljsang the new song ‘The Birds Will Come Again” besides other songs. Miss Ida Condo'also played and sang several popular pieces. >At a reasonable hour all retired to their respective homes, delighted with the charming manner in which they had been entertained and not forgetting to wish Mr, Burrell many returns of the day. Mr, Burrell was the recipient of a large number of presents of a very substantial character,
