Con. DUNHAM DIES IN CALIFORNIA.—
Col. David S. Danham, a former Belle-
fonter and a man well known all over this
and adjoining counties, died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. H. H. Dutton, at
Passadéna, Cal., ou Monday, December
5th. His death was due to gangrene with
which he bad been afflicted to such an ex-
tent that it was necessary to amputate one
leg. Following the amputation Mr.
Dunham appeared to be getting along very
nicely, but owing to his advanc:d age and
worn-out constitution he suffered a relapse
from which he never recovered.
Deceased was born in Indiana county,
this State, October 25, 1828, =o that at the
time of his death he was past 76 years of
age. Early in life he learned the prioter’s
trade and while yet a young man located
in Lock Haven, where he started the first
paper ever published in that town. For
many years he was editor of the Look
Haven Democrat. When the civil war
broke out he enlisted as a soldier and
served all through the war. After the
war he returned to his field of newspaper
work in which he continued up until
about ten years ago. In the early ceven-
ties be joined the famous expedition of
fillibusters that went out on the ill-fated
ship Virginius to free Cuba and was one
of the very few who escaped and effected
a resarn to the United States. About
sixteen years ago Mr. Dunham located in
Bellefonte and for a number of years did
special writing and corresponding for a
number of papers. He bad a good knowl-
edge of politics and carrent events and was
a fluent writer. About five years ago his
health began to fail and he, on the advice
of his doctor, went to California in the
hope that the salubrious climate there
would prove beneficial, and there is no
doubt but that the change was the only
thing thas prolonged his life to this time.
Mr. Dunbam is survived by two chil-
dren, Mrs. Dutton, of Passadena, at whose
home he died, and Mr. Fred S. Dunham,
of Howard, editor of the Hustler.

DEATH OF Con. THoMAS.—Col. George
W. Thomas, one of the old and well-
known citizens of Bellefonte, and the last
of his line, expired quite suddenly at his
home on the Perdue mountain above
Coleville, at 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning. Col. Thomas had been in poor
health for a couple of years past, but of
late seemed better than he had in several
months. Wednesday morning the nurse
went into his room and asked him
how be was feeling and the gentleman
told her very well. She then asked if he
wanted something to eat and he replied
that he would take another sleep first and
with that he turned over on his side and
died almost instantly.
Deceased was born at Clearfield and was
75 years of age. He came to Bellefonte
when a young man and engaged in the
mercantile business with his brother-
in-law, the late Thomas Barnside. About
fifteen years ago he was appointed
t0 a position in the Huntingdon Reforma-
tory which he filled until failing health
compelled him to resign. Col. Thomas
was a mam of many pleasing qualities and
having heen the last of a family distin-
guished in the early development of the
county his passing is a matter of real his-
torical significance. He was an active Re-
publican during bis vigorous life and al-
ways was devoted to the Episcopal church.
The funeral will be held this afternoon
at 2 o'clock, from the house in which he
died, the old family homestead of the
Thomas’. Services will he conducted by
Rev. George Israel Brown, of the Episco-
pal church, and intermens will be made

No signs of any movement towards light

We had quite a snow storm here on Sat-
urday last, a few sleds were on the road, and
it looked a good deal like winter. But of
course, sledding was a little off.
Dry wells are reported everywhere—a

on the snow just now might remedy the evil
somewhat. But what we need is about three
days of steady rain.
If the adage is correct that when the days

Last week J. A. Grenoble, while at H. A.

be removed to his home. His condition is
rather critical.
-.e party of great moral ideas and pros-
perity in this neighborhood, is endeavoring
to annoy the Democracy by remarking, ‘‘you
Democrats should nominate so and so for the
spring election—possibly you may elect
them.” Is it not remarkable, the incapacity
some people display for not minding their
own business. The Democracy wants no
foreign advice.
T. B. Jamison, the well-known fire in-
surance agent, bought two pigs on Sept. 1st,
which were then three months old, weighing
40 and 411bs. respectively. Last week he
butchered them, and they weighed 160 and
165 Ibs. Certainly a very handsome gain for
so short a time. Previously he butchered
three porkers weighing respectively 260, 275
and 304 lbs. If old Shylock had been invited
that day to dinner by the Colonel, he might
well have replied, ‘What, smell pork; to eat
of the habitation into which your prophet,
the Nazarite conjured the devil! No.”
