HICKS ON THE WEATHER. — Hunters
particularly may wish to know jost what
kind of weather there will he during the
next two weeks and for their benefit, as
well as others, we publish the following
forecast from Rev. It] Hicks :
A reactionary storm period is central on
the 15th, 16th and 17¢h. The new moon
in perigee falls on the 15th, at a time when
the full force of the mercury equinox will
blend with other perturbing causes. One
of the most severe disturbances of the
month will cnlminate within 48 hours of
noon on the 16th. The barometor will
drop to its lowest readings for the month,
thick clondiness and great humidity will
prevail, and general storms of autumnal
rain, turning to destinctive sleet, and later
into blizzardous snow and northwest gales
may be expected, covering the northern
and extending far into the central sections.
A regular storm period extends from the
19th to 23rd, with moon at greatest south
declination ou tbe 19th and at first quarter,
or quadrature with earth and sun on the
220d. Sharp cold with frost and freezing
toward the north, will visit most sections
from about the 220d to the 25th.
A regular storm period begins on the
20th and runs at least four days into De-
cember, being central December the 20d.
The full moon falls on the 30th which fact
will greatly tend to bring on the disturb-
ances of this period on and touching that
date.
EVANGELIST FOR HUNTINGDON PRESBY-
TERY.—A$ an adjourned meeting of the
Huntingdon Presbytery, held in the First
Presbyterian church, Tyrone, on Monday,
the committee appointed to employ a Pres-
byterian evangelist reported recommending
that au evangelist he employed to labor
within the bounds of presbytery. The
amount of salary was fixed at $2,000, and
Decessary expenses. It was recommended
that offerings be taken in each church in
which he lahors, which shall be turned
over to the treasurer of the evangelistic
committee to be applied on his salary.
It was also recommended thas the direc-
tion of the labors in the matters of time
and place be referred to the evangelistic
committee of presbytery and that a guar
antee fand of not less than $2,500 be pro-
vided, 25 per cent of which will be due
and sabjeot to call of the treasurer as soon
as an evangelist can be secured.
The recommendations were adopted after
the Rev. H. L. Bowlby had led the preshy-
tery in prayer for the divine guidance. It
is just possible that Rev. Boston, of Pitte-
burg, who spent two weeks in this place,
will be the man selected.
Tha call of the church at Milesburg for
the Rev. R. G. McLeod was taken from
the table and returned to the church.
An invitation for the April meeting of
presbytery was received from the Third
church at Altoona and accepted.

DEATH OF EX-SHERIFF JOHN SPAN.
GLER.— In the death of ex-sberifl John
Spaogler, at his home in Centre Hall, at
three o'clock last Friday morning, Centre
county loses one of its best koown and
most familiar figures. A man who repre-
sented all that was typical of thegood old
Pennsylvania German stock. He had been
in poor health for the past year or two, the
resuit of a general breaking down of the
system owing to his advanced age. Several
weeks ago he hecame worse and gradually
sank until the end came peacefully and
. calmly at the time above stated.
Deceased was a son of Jacob and Mary
Scbroyer Spangler and was born in Soyder
county on March 18th, 1828, thus making
his age 78 sears, 7 months and 22 days.
When a boy he did not have the advantages
that children of today have, and was able
to go to school only at irregular intervals.
Until be was eighteen years of age be work-
ed for his father on the farm. At that age
he went to Middleburg and learned the
blacksmithing t.ade. He worked there at
his trade until the spring of 1862 when he
came to Centre county aud located at Cen-
tre Hill, where he rented a blacksmith
shop and later kept a tavern. In 1864 he
moved to Centre Hall and went into the
hotel business, where he remained until
the spring of 1879, with the exception of
two yeas spent in Millbeim as landlord of
the Kreamer hotel.
In the fall of 1878 he ran for sheriff on
the Democratic ticket and was elected by a
good majority. He was sworn into office
the first Monday of Janvary, 1879, and
during his three years term made
one of the best officials that ever served
the county in that capacity. On bis re-
tirtement at the expiration of his term of
office he returned to Centre Hall and for a
number of years was eogaged in cattle
dealing, butchering and farming. For the
past ten years or so, however, he has lived
a retired life at his home in Centre Hall.
Mr. Spangler was that type of man whose
entire life conld be emulated by many with
profit to themselves. Big hearted and
frank as the day, honest and conscientious
in bis dealings with his fellowmen charit.
able to the faults of othes and lavish in his
hospitality to all, be made a friend of every
man he met. In politics he wasa Demo-
orat, staunch and tree to the Jeffersonian
dootrine. He was an earnest member of
the Lutheran church and for many years
belonged to both the Masons and Odd
Fellows.
On April 25th, 1848, he was united in
martinge to Miss Susanna Barger, of Soy-
der county, who survives him with three
sons, namely : Col. J. L. and Howard J., of
this place,and Reaben B.,of Spangler, Cam-
bria county. The funeral was held as 11
o'clock on Monday morning. Rev. Rearick
officiated at the services, which were held
in the Lutheran church, after which inter-
ment was wade in the adjoining cemetery.

tended by ahout 285 out of a total of 207

by Prof. Philip H Meyer and prayer by
Rev. Schmidt, Dr. Charles C. Mlller, pres-

occupied by Prof, Charles H. Albert, of the
Bloomsburg Normal echool, in a general
common sense talk to the teachers. Monday

in a discussion of the subject, *‘The Value
of Time, or the Age of Young Men.” In

tematic course of reading for every teacher.

Burr,” and Prof. Albert followed with a
disoussion of psychology. Wednesday af-
ternoon the court house was crowded to

mense audience with a recital of some of
his own poems and a narration of sowe of

All parents should endeavor to meke the

and upon inquiry found that nove of the |
family had the horse in use. He then re

over the mountain. When he arrived in |
the vicinity of the Three Sprivgs he came |
to a camp fire and three men asleep around
it with six or seven horses tethered nearby.
He at ovce picked out and untied his own
horse, at the same time notying three or
four of the others, when one of the men
awakened and made for young Hannab

him, the knife cutting a long gash in his
coat and vest. In jumping away Hanvah
dropped his revolver, bus quickly mounted
and made away with his own and the stolen
horse. The robbers must have capture!
the untied horses, for they were soon
mounted and in pursuit, but Hannah out-
distanced them and arrived in Tyrone at
an early hour Friday morning. Officers
there immediately .elephoned to all the
surrounding towns in Blair,Cambria,Clear-

for the robbers and horses but up to this
writing they have not been captured, or
even any farther trace gotten of them.

Sanday Dinners,
Noone who rightiy understands the bent
of inclination in human nature and the
clearly revealed teachings of Holy Scripture
will urge any objection to Sunday dinners.
There is no word in the fourth command:
ment against a suitable dinner for the Sab:
bath day.
It is not forbidden in any teachings of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
He says, “It is lawful todo good on the
Sabbath days.” Mark 3:4. In both Testa:
ments the Bible teaches that whatever is
necessary or merciful, is lawfal to be done
on the Lord's day.
It is more than a mistake for any one to
say that the committee for the furtherance
1
of Sabbath obsernance in Bellefonte is op-
posed to a wisely prepared dinner for San.
day.
There are plenty of good things that will

Before the dinner is quits i ished tell a

right heartily, according to Suluwon's wise
counsel in Proberbs 17:92,
Of all the good deeds dong in this world
nothing conld be more in place for ull enjoy
ing the bountiful God-given meal to rise
from the table singing one verse or more to
the praise of “Our Father in Heaven, “the
Giver of evers good und perfect gift.”
After such] a dinner, ask the children
which is the best;day in the week.
Every one of them will answer “I like
Sunday the best.”
Grandpa and Grandma will be made the
happier by Sunday dinners prepared in this
way, strictly “according to the Holy Serip-
tures.”
There are thousands of working-men away
from their families six daysin the week.
Except o:: occasional holidays, the Sabbath
is the only day they can spend with the
loved ones and the little ones at home.
Some of these men are my neighbors; I am
glad to testify that they always try to pro-
vide some little tasteful extras for Sunday
dinner. They do wisely and scripturally
by so doing.
With this lawful feasting and needed rest-
ing, it is hardly necessary to say, that these
working-men so-called (the Bible teaches
that all men ought to labor six days in the
week) should always spend at least one Lour
of the sacied time with their families, in
Divine worship, to )
“Praise God from whom ali blessings flow."
“The kingdom of God is not food and
drink, but righteousness aud peace and Joy
in the Holy Ghost.” Rom. 14:17.
Let no one say that the Sabbath obser=
vance committee of Bellefonte, in this view
of the subject, favors Sunday visiting for
the pleasure of Sunday feasting.
Leaving the sacred precincts of home and
public worship in the house of God on the
Lord’s day, there can be no lawful or reason-
ieee tor this most questionabls prac-
In this movement to secure a most sacred
regard for the Lord’s day. our committee
stands unmovable on the God-given com-
mandment:
“Rememder the Sabbath day to keep it
Holy; six days shalt thou labor and do all
thy work.”
Weare operating directly in accord with
natural law and civil law, as well asthe
Divine law. It is clearly revealed to us
that the position we occupy is ‘on the Lord's
side’ “If God be for us, who can be
against us?’ Rom. 8:31.
