——Look carefully over the advertising
columns of the WATCHMAN before making
a seleotion of Holiday goods. Business
men who have modern methods, are sure to
have the best and most appropriate goods,
and are invariably enterprising enough to
let their patrons know’ what they have for
sale.

delivery wagon of C. Y. Wagner, while

and it is hoped will be followed with no
serious consequences.

brighten the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will
Katz, ou Monday morning and it was
fally three days afterwards before our

known insurance agent of Spring Mills,
when his highly accomplished daughter,
Miss Kathryn, was united in marriage to
Mr. Robert C. Cathermau, a young gentle-
man of high character and the popular
railroad agent at Spring Mills. The cere-
mony was witnessed by over sixty invited
guests.
The handsomely furnished parlor of Mr.
Shires’ home was beautifully decorated
with evergreens, palms and rare plants.
The spacious south bay window was
charmingly arranged for this special oc-
cation. A few minutes before 12 o’clock
Mr. J. B. Lobr, of Ratherson, Pa., escorted
Miss Maude From, of Mifflinburg,to the
piauo, and on the entrance of Rev. J. E.

the Altoona district M. E. conference, and
Rev. G. W. MecIlnay, pastor of the M. E,.

white roses and lillies of the valley. Her

year, as in years past, give a Christmas din-

DEDICATION oF THE NEw LUTHERAN
CHURCH AT PINE HALL.—The dedicatory
services of thenew Lutheran church, at
Pine Hall, last Sunday, was a most nota-
ble event in the history of the church.
The services incident to the occasion he-
gan, Saturday evening, when Rev. J. I.
Stonecypher of Boalsburg, preached an able
aud eloquent sermon. Sunday’s weather
was not of the most auspicious for church-
going, but notwithstanding this fact, the
church was filled with a large congregation
at ten o’clock in the morning; all anxious to
hear the dedicatory sermon as preached by
Rev. F. Maohart, D. D., of Selinsgrove,
who delivered a strong and powerful dis-
course. Dr. Manbart also had charge of
the raising of the finances to clear the
church of debt, and in this particular line
he proved himself an adept. The congre-
gation, as well as vistors from other
churches, proved open-hearted in their
liberality, and when it was time to close
the service at the noon hour, more than
eight hundred dollars had been raised.
In the evening, at 7.30 o’clock, the
church was again comfortably filled. Rey.
J. M. Rearick of Centre Hall, president of
the Synod of Central Pennsylvania,
preached the sermon, keeping his audience
almost spell-bound with his forciable and
convincing talk. The little remaining of
the amount necessary to clear the church
of debt was easily raised, after which the
edifice was dedicated to the service and
glory of God. A large choir, with Mis.
Margaret Homan Cor) presiding at the or-
gan, furnished the music for the occasion.
The vew church is a handsome structure.
The main auditorium is 32x50 feet in size,
with an annex 20x30 feet, so arranged as
te be in full view and bearing from the
pulpit. The interior is beautifully finished
in matched oak. The walls are nicely pa-
pered and frescoed. The ceiling is of steel,
appropriately painted. The windows of
stained glass present a pretty design, sug-
gesting devotion. The pews are maple and
quartered oak. A massive oak pulpit rests
on the platform, which is also farnished
with three large upholstered chairs. ‘I'he
building is heated from a furnace in the
basement, installed by Mr. John Krom-
rine, and is lighted by acetylene gas, from
a plant installed Ly Mr. E. K. Sober, of
Lewisburg. The church is surmounuted
with a steeple sixty-five feet in height, top-
ped with a beautiful cross. In the steeple
swings a spldndid new bell, to be used to
call both saint and sinner to their devo-
tions.
A opumber of memorial windows adorn
the new church; one above the pulpit being
in memory of Father D. M. Moser, the
founder of the church; one in the front in
booor of the present pastor, Rev. C. 7.
Aiken. A large window in the front is in
memory of Joseph Strouse and wife; one
over the door in memory of Mr. and Mrs.
Johu Neidigi; and others are in memory of
Mis. Catharine Johnson, George Behers
aud wile, J. Shannon Mec’Cormick and
wife, Jobn Homan and wife, Emanuel C,
Fye and wife; Geo. E. Corl and wife, Peter
Louck and wife, Daniel Krebs and wife,
Joseph Hoy and wife, C. M. Johnson and |
wife, Isaac Reish and wife, Joseph H. Hoy
and wife, Lemuel H. Osman and wife, and
D J. Johnson and sons. The carpet which
covers the floor is the gift of the Ladies’
Aid Society. The pulpit Bible is the gift
of Mrs. Lizzie Thompson, and the hymn
book, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ly-
tle.
Prior to the formal dedication of the
church, in the evening, the pastor, Rev.
C. T. Aiken, as chairman of the building
committee, submitted his report of the
finances, which was as follows:
Amount previously raised........... $ 4,200 00
Amount raised Sunday morning.. 840 00
Amount raised Sunday evening. , 85 00
OAL... vrrressensii sors sins 5,075.0
Total amount expended............. 4,750 00
Balance on hand...........$ 325 00
The building committee deserve special
commendation for their snocess in pushing
the work so rapidly to a finish; the corner
stone being laid only on August 15th.
Most of the congregation shared in the
work of building, and did so willingly and
joyfully. The building committee was
| composed of Rev. C. T. Aiken, chairman;
George E. Corl, Joseph H. Hoy, G. W,
‘Homan, A.C. Cramer, and C. B. McCor-
mick. The soliciting committee was G. E.
Corl, A. C. Cramer, George Behers and J.
M. Hoy. The present officers of the church
are, elders, Thomas D. Decker and J. N.
Hoy; trustee, G. W. Homan; clerk of
church council, Geo. Homan.
In counection with this report we ap-
pend the following brief history of this
church and congregation:
The old log church that was built as a
Union church in 1844, was located in the
south corner of the cemetery, just across
the road from the new edifice. Before that
time religious services were held in the
homes, among the Northamptoners. Most
of the early settlers emigrated from North-
ampton county; such as the Roups, Corls,
Strouses, Blooms and others. Their de.
scendants are the owners of much of the
land, still.
The old, or first church was built by an
old-fashioned log-rolling, and was said to
have cost $50.00. In this old-time edifice
the Reformed and Lutheran congregations
continued to worship. It was about 1844
when Father Dan’l M. Moser organized
the church. He continued as pastor until
1684, having served his people faithfully
for about thirty-five years, continuously,
when, on account of old age, he retired
with a crown of glory. He was assisted by
Rev. Fletcher, as helper, from 1858 to 1861,
in the Eoglish part of the service. Rev.
Kentzell came in 1863, but remained only
one year. Dr. Dan’l Sell served from 1864
to 1866, when Revs. Sechrist and Williams,
of the Boalsburg charge, served as sup-
plies. Rev. Earhart took charge in 1871,
aud served until 1875. Under his pastor-
ate the old, burned church was built. He
was succeeded by Rev. Reuben Smith, who
served in 1876 77. Rev. J. A. Bright served
part of the year of 1878. Rev. Harry Long
was called and served through the year of
78. Then came Rev. Jacob A. Koser, who
served from July, 1878, to Deeember 3,
1885. Rev. J. A. Falton, served from
1885 to 1886. Rev. Warner preached from
1886 to December 1888, when the present
pastor, Rev. Charles T. Aiken took charge,
and bas made for himself a most enviable
record in his sixteen years of service in the
Master’s Vineyard.

THE NEW BELLEFONTE. ACADEMY.—
Work on the rebuilding and remodeling
of the Bellefonte Academy has been
practically completed and now the town
can boast of one of the most modern, con-
venient and comfortable buildings of any
preparatory school in the State. The
recitation rooms are large, bright and
cheerful while the dormitory rooms for séu-
dents areall any young man could wish for.
It is just about four months since the old
Academy building was about half destroy-
ed by fire and for the fact that to-day an
almost entirely new building stands com-
pleted in its place the trustees of the in-
stitution as well as the faculty deserve
great commendation. And all this was
accomplished with only the loss of two
weeks of school at the beginning of the
term.
The new Academy will be thrown open
for public inspection this evening, between
the hours of 7.30 and 10 o’clock. Christy
Smith’s orchestra will probably furnish
music fcr the occasion. Everybody is cor-
dially invited to visit the Academy and
see what interesting improvements have
been effected.

Don’t Lock THE FRONT DOOR.—Per-
hape 25000 people in Centre county will
spend money freely for Holiday Goods
within the next three weeks. A great ma-
jority of them will look over the columns
of the family newspapers as a guide in
making their selections, at least, for bints
as to what to buy and where to buy. The
firm or individual who makes or sells any
articles suitable for a Holiday gift, and
who fails to advertise it, outs himself off
from participation in the_ benefits of the
holiday rush. He might as well lock the
front door of his establishment, and expect
customers to crawl in through the win-
dows.
It always pays to advertise judiciously.

— Preston Garbrick, the sixteen-year-
oid son of Jacob Garbrick, had his foot
badly crashed while at work at the Gates-
burg ore mines yesterday afternoon at two
o'clock. It was Garbrick’s work to brake
the cars going down grade to the washers,
and, when he jumped on two cars yesterday,
they jamped the track and went over the
side of the trestle, falling about twenty
feet to the ground, carrying youngGarbrick
with them. His foot was caught under one
car and crushed, but, aside from a few
soratches and bruises, he was not otherwise
injured.

——On the evening of December 19th
Frank R. Roberson the noted lecturer and
traveler will be heard in Petriken hall, in
the Star course. His subject, ‘‘Russia and
Japan,’ is one both timely and interest-
ing. It would be so treated by an ordinary
man but when Mr. Roberson, who is one
of the foremost men on the lecture plat-
form, takes it up it should be fraught with
extraordinary interest. It will be to the
credit of Bellefonte’s intellectuality if Mr.
Roberson is greeted by a crowded house on
Monday night.
——When yon know the Star course
to be strictly first class why don’t you do
something to help the ladies ont in their
effort to give you fine entertainments for
little money. If you don’t have a season
ticket already, buy one. They cost only
$1.20. If you do have one take a reserved
seat when you go to Petriken hall,
