THAT SPELLING BEE.—If anybody bad predicted to the members of the Ladies Aid society of the Presbyterian church the big success their old-fashioned spelling bee would prove they would bardly bave be- lieved it beforehand. Bat as evidence of the interest felt in the final outcome it is only necessary to state that not a dozen people in the audience which crowded the court house left the room until the last man went down. At eight o'clock the court house was filled and from that time on standing room was at a premium. The space inside the bar was reserved for the spellers and, con- trary to expectations, there were a whole lot of men in Bellefonte who thought they could spell. William A. Lyon and James R.[Hughes, the respective captains of the teams, were much in evidence looking over the lists and making a mental size up of all the crowd. To while away the few minutes it took to arrange the preliminaries Christy Smith's orchestra rendered some delightful mausie. It was just 8:30 when Gen. James A. Beaver mounted the rostrum as presiding officer. He laid down the rules by which the ‘“‘bee’’ would be governed and made a few brief announcements after which all joined in singing ‘“‘America.”” Rev. Rear- ick offered up a prayer of thanksgiving and then the crucial moment had come. Seat- ed before the rostrum were Miss Overton, Mrs. Jobn 8. Walker and Miss Levy, prop- erly armed with the Standard, the Century and Webster's International dictionaries, the whole constituting a board of judges to to whom all questions of dispute were re- ferred. The captains chose their teams, about sixty spellers in all, and then the fun be- gan. Two rounds were spelled without mistakes being counted, but on the third round the first mies put the speller down and out. It ie hardly necessary to state that the ranks thinned out quite fast until only a few remained standing on the sixth round. These dropped off one by one no- til only one remained on each side, James R. Hughes, captain of the team, and L. A. Scheffer on the other team, the former finally meeting his waterloo on the word ‘‘quiescence.’" Of course spellin’s very easy but when lawyers go down on such words as ‘‘gew- gaw” and ‘‘occurrence,’”” when a doctor misses ‘‘hemorrhage,’’ when a school teach- ercai’t spell “‘bazar’ is it any wonder that a man who don’t count bimself in the same class asks ‘‘what do you know about that?’’ when the General gave him ‘‘op-o-del-doc.’”” Sach misses furnished ample excuse for the ordinary man to go down on most any kind of a word. It mast be confessed, however, that there are a number of good spellers in Bellefonte. Most every man in line spelled with appar- ent ease very much barder words than they all finally tripped on. In fact, it was the eaay word that canght the most of them. All io all, however, it was a most succeasfal affair and could bear being re- peated. Immediately at the close of the spelling the ladies served hot coffee and sandwiches to all the spellers who wished to eat and drink. Over seventy-five dollas, clear of all expense, was the amount realized and the ladies in charge desire, through the WATCHMAN, to return thanks to all those who so willingly participated in any way towards the snccess of the spelling-bee. — MEMORIAL DAY IN BELLEFONTE.—It would be bard, indeed, to have more ideal weather than that which prevailed on Wedoesday—Memorial day, and as a con- sequence there was a good turnout in the afternoon for the exercises in Union ceme- tery. The parade formed in the Diamond at 1.30 o'clock and marched to the cemetery in the following order: Coleville band, Company B, Gregg Post No. 95, P.O. 8. of A,, Undine and Logan Fire companies and school children. At the cemetery the services were conducted by W. H. Musser, commander of the Post. A male choir sang several appropriate songs and the graves of all soldiers were decorated with flowers. Returning the crowd assembled in the court honse where the oration of the day was delivered by Clement Dale Esq.§It was an eloquent and patriotic address, fall of enlogies for{those who fought so hero- ically that the Union might be preserved. a————— A ne nc— Musr DISPLAY SIGNAL.—On and after July first patrons of all rural postal routes will be required to display signals on all their hoxes when they leave mai! in them for carriers to collect; as after that date carriers will not be required to open and examine any mail box except those to which they bave mail to deliver and signal® indicate there is mail to collect.

The house was occupied by William 8S. Bar- rows and family and the fire is supposed to have started from an exploding lamp in an incabator which was on the back porch. Mrs. Burrows was the first to dis- cover the fire by being awakened by the smoke. She at once aroused the rest of the family, but the fire bad gained such beadway that they bad no time to get their clothes on, being compelled to escape in their night clothes. A couple members of the family were taken from the second story windows. It was just 1:15 o'clock when the first fire alarm was sounded and in a half hour the entire eastern portion of the house was destroyed. Most of the efforts of the fire- men were concentrated in saving the 8. T. Brooks house adjoining. The loss on the Cruse house is about $3,000, practically covered by insurance. The Barrows’ lost all their household effects on which they had not a cent of insurance. The mem- bers of the family were taken in that night by the neighbors and the next day were supplied with clothing. They will start housekeeping again just as soon as they get a house in which to go. In the meantime friends have kindly looked after their every need. ——— A ———— THE ACADEMY PRIZE DEBATE. —A good crowd of visitors were present at the annual slumoi prize debate at the Belle- fonte academy last Friday afternoon.
