Polecats are bad enongh, but then they are not in the same clas with a chicken thief. The former will steal only what chickens he needs to sos- tain life, his greatest objectionable quality being the scent he leaves behind him. On the other hand the chicken thief will take all yon’ve got and look for more. Many of the residents on the outskirte of the town are considerably annoyed by polecats, who not only make nightly visitations in quest of live fowl but have become so bold as to house up for days under porches, stables and hen houmses. A number have been caught in traps lately, but this isn’s the most agreeable way to get rid of them. As to the chicken thieves, they do not cunfipe their depredations to the outskirts of the town but puisue their nefarious work wherever they can find a full coop of nice, fat chickens. Chicken stealing bas been going on so persistently of late that owners of turkeys, ducks, ete., have resort- ed to the scheme of taking them into the cellar where they are locked up for the night. This is a wise precaution, hut a surer means of defense for the fowls would be a good load of No. 6 shot, and somebody will get the dose hefore expected, if there isn’t a let up soon. 1 S—— LINN HISTORICAL SOCIETY.—The meet- ing for the annual election of officers of the Linn Historical society will be held in the court house at 11 o'clock, Wednesday, December 27¢h, to which the public a$ large is invited. And just now, when new officers are to be chosen for the ensuing year, would be a good time for the people of Bellefonte and Centre county to awaken to the fact that a historical society should be fostered in every community and thas 80 far there has not been the interests shown in the Linn Historical society that there should be. In a county so rich in histor- ical facts and interest as is Centre county there is a wide field for the gathering and preserving of most important data for fu- ture generations to dwell upon. While the Linn Historical society has now a fair mem- bership it is not nearly so large as it should he and everybody is not only invited but urged to enroll their names as members; and whether you are a member ornot,if you bave any facts of historical interest weave them together in a story and send the article to the secretary of the society to he preserved. S——r—ee AT THE ACADEMY.—Profiting from the experience of the recent fire in the base- ment of the Bellefonte Academy an inde- pendent brick cased building bas been erected, southeast of the main building, in which the heating plant has been installed, thus removing from the Academy proper all danger of fire from this source. The System as now installed is giving excellent service. Don Jordon, a Panxsutawney student at the Academy, is confined to his room with chicken-pox, while Clyde McCarty, anoth- er student from Wheeling, West Virginia, is suffering with a bad attack of rheuma- tism. The prospects for a good basket ball team this season are very good. In addition to such old players as DaBarry, Walker and Acheson, Manager Renton has quite a bunch of new material on hand from which to select the balance of the team. Games have already been arranged with Juniata College, the Three C's, of Tyrone, and a couple other teams, the season to open on January 13th. — ooo — NEW ALTAR DEDICATED. — The hand- some new marble altar, the gift of Dr. J. M. and Miss Mary Brockerhoff in memory of their parents, recently erected in St. John’s Catholic church, was dedicated, Tuaesday morning, with elaborate services ‘which lasted from 7 to 9 o’clock. The services were in charge of Bishop Eugene A. Garvey, of the Altoona diocese, one of the most distinguished prelates in the church, assisted by Fathers Cordori and Maucher, of Lock Haven; Corcoran, of Snow Shoe; Kelley, of Tyrone, and Me- Ardle, of Bellefonte. The altdr is a beau- tiful piece of workmanship, a handsome farnishing for the remodeled interior of the church. CLEAN Up.—This is just the kind of weather and the time of year when every property owner and every renter should clean up around his premises. Empty out and haul away the old ash barrel, clean out drains, sewers and gutters, barn up all old refuse and put your property in good sanitary shape for the winter. There is many a disease germ hatched in filth and dirt and if allowed to lie around may cause sickness in your own honsehold and per- baps impregnate the town. It will cost very little now in time and labor to pus the surroundings of your homes in a clean, healthy condition, and yon will be well repaid not only in looks but in the general health of yourself and family.
