THE CHRISTIAN.—The Christian, which
will be presented at the opera house Tues-
day evening, April 4th, will be given the
1 | same powerful production as characterized
its tour in past seasons. It is hard in-
deed to recall a drama that has proven so
unqualifiedly acceptahle, as every care has
been continually exerted to keep the pro-
duction up to the very highess artistic
standard. It is interesting to note the
organization is headed by Mr. Kirk Brown
and Miss Helen Grayce, two exceptionally
talented artists. The first appearance of
Miss Grayce in Bellefonte promises to at-
tract special attention from the fact thas
she is a daoghter of the late General
Brishin, a sister of Misses Daisy and Kate
Brisbin and a neice of Col. J. L. Spangler,
her early life having been spent in Belle-
fonte. She has been on the stage for the
past five years and is considered one of the
most promising of the younger school of
actresses.

THE TEMPLE QUARTETTE CONCERT
CoMpaNY.—The W. C. T. U.is to be
heartily commended on the high qnality
entertainments they gave to the people of
Bellefonte in their season’s Star course, the
closing number of which will be next
Monday evening, April 3rd, when the
Temple Quartette Concert company will
appear in Petriken hall. Any person who
was present at any of the former entertain-
meuts will not want to miss this one as is
will be one of the best of the year. The
company comes to Bellefonte well herald-
ed by press and public, and if you have
not a course ticket you want to secure one
or more single tickets at once. The fol-
lowing notices show how they were re-
ceived other places;

JUDGE A. V. LARIMER.—A telegram re-
ceived in this place last Saturday announe-
ed the sudden death, that morning in
Chicago, of the Hon. Adam V. Larimer.
No particulars of his death have been re-
ceived up to the time of going to press and
the cause thereof is therefore unknown.
The remains were taken to Omaha, where
the funeral was held on Tuesday.
Deceased was the son of James and Mary
Larimer, one of the leading famlies and
among the pioneer settlers of the county.
He was born, March 31st, 1819, on the
old Larimer homestead near Pleasant Gap,
now the farm owned by Mrs. Speer. He
worked on the farm in summer and at-
tended school in winter at what was then
called Harrisonville, now included in
Pleasant Gap. Being of a studious, ener-
getio nature he successfully passed through
the common school and prepared himself
for college, taking afall course in Lafay-
ette, at Easton, from which he graduated
with honors in 1849.
-He at once began reading law in the of-
fice of the late ex-Governor Andrew G.
Curtin and in January, 1852, was admitted
to practice at the Centre county bar. The
next morning he went to Lock Haven
with the purpose of opening up a law of-
fice but daring the night he changed his
mind and decided to go west. He came
bome and ina few days left to carve ous
his future in the west, which was then
just opening up and presenting to the
young man many excellent oppo:tunities
for advancements. He located in Council
Bluffs, Iowa, and began the practice of law
and it was not many years unsil he hecame
a leader amoung the best lawyers of the
State. Some years ago he was elected a
prohate judge, and in this official capacity
be won an enviable reputation for wise
judgment and fairness. :
After retiring from the bench he wen
into the real estate and cattle business in
which he proved very successful. He asso- |
ciated with others in a number of leading
enterprises of the west and thus was a very
influential man. About eight years ago
he became afflicted with the gout and
since then had been unable to do anything
except go from one place to another trying
to obtain relief. He finally located in
Sioux City where he established a very
comfortable home. He was a man of unus-
ual generosity of heart and it was one of
his greatest pleasures to help those in dis-
tress.
About four years ago he was united in
marriage with a young Euglish woman,
who survives him with two sisters, Mrs.
W. T. Speer, of this place, and Mrs Ellen
Furey, of Pittsburg. There are also a
number of nieces and nephews.
