The class was the smallest graduat- ‘| ed for a number of years, bat though they lacked in numbers they were the equal in intelligence of former classes. The commencement exercises proper he- gan on Sunday evening when Rev. James B. Stein preached the haccalaureate ser- mon to the graduating class in the Meth- odist church. The class oconpied the front pews and, in accordance with the custom inaugurated last year, were arrayed in caps and gowns. Rev, Stein took as the sub- jeot of his sermon, ‘On the threshold of life's poseibilities,”” and his discourse throughout was replete with words of good advice to both the young men and wo- men.

Though the decora- tions were perhaps not as elaborate as they have heen in previous years the attendance was much larger thau ever hefore, iliostrat- ing very fully and satisfactorily that the Bellefonte High school alumni association has grown to be u recognized factor in the educational world and their annual recep- tions looked forward to by many as an event of more than ordinary social import- ance. The graduating exercises of the class of '07 were held on Wednesday afternoon in Petriken hall. As in former years the au- ditorium was crowded to the doors.

The ground was quite dry and hard, espe- cially limestone land, and the rain was at a good time to start the corn sprou ting and bring the oats along. Now if the weather only becomes warmer and stays so there will be no reason why the crops should nos be up to the average this year. rt ~—Mis.

The young couple will take up their residence at 558 Second street, Pitcairn. ——There is universal complaint amoug the farmers throughout Centre county over the scarcity of farm help. Whereas here: tofore farmers have paid sixteen and eigh- teen dollars a month, with house rent, cow pasture, fruit, eto., free, now farm hands are demanding from twenty to twenty-five dollars a month with the same perquisites, while single men want from $1.00 to $1.25 aday with the privilege of a horse and buggy whenever desired. This condition is due entirely to the better wages paid at industrial establishments, with the ad- ditional allurements of town or city life. bree: — Last Friday a large number of Belle- fonters attended the State—Fravklin and Marshall baseball game on Beaver field at State College and witnessed a very moch one-sided contest, State defeating the visit- ors by the score of 9 to 0.

Jacos FroyM Disc ARGED.— Alter being in jail since the tirst of March on the charge of murdering Josiah Dale, of Centre Hall, Jacob From, of the same borough, was re- leased on Monday and returned home. So glad was he when turned ont of jail thas be walked with buoyant step down High street to Spring creek then started out Water street on his way for the eight mile walk to Centre Hall, evidently preferring to foot it than to wait in Beliefoute until his son James could be communicated with and drive over after him. From’s release was ordered by the court following an ar- gument by the attorneys on both sides of the case last Thursday, which led to a nolle prosse being agreed upon. Under the present statos of the cave, therefore, From is not exempt from re-arrest should the an- thorities at any time secure evidence which would tend to connect him with the crime, though it is not thought likely that soch will be the case. And this leaves the mystery of the mur- der of Josiah Dale, so far as the pablic is informed, just as deep as ever. From the time Dale was shot on the night of Novem- ber 12th up until the arrest of From on March first rumors were thick, and quite a number of persons were under suspicion. Detectives were pus on the case and it was ouly after they bad been at work for three months that any definite move was made aud ther it was the arresting of Jacob From aod his son James. They were hoth held in jail until the latter purt of March when they were given a habeas corpus hear- ing, at which it was the general opinion that not snflicient evidence had heen pros duced to warrant holdivg Mr. From for trial. Bot as there was a certain element of suspicions circnmstances connected with Mr. From's conduct subsequent to the murder be was held and his son turned out on bail. Now, it is said, the district as- torney was never in favor of From's ar- rest, which was made by the detectives while he was sick. But after the arrest was wade he did all he could to get out of the case all shat was in it, and vow is per- fectly frank in stating that he could not aecure even enough sabstantial evidence to warrant putting From on trial. And now it is no secret that suspicion rests on other parties but whether the au- thorities will be able to make out a ease against them remains to be divulged in the fature. AA it Exsioy BrispiN's Bopy HER. —The remains of Ensign Alfred Terry Brishin, whose untimely end was told in the WATCHMAN last week, arrived in Beile- fonte on the 9.30 train yesterday morning.
