PAID MORTGAGE AND INTEREST,—The
congregation of the Bellefonte Methodist
church have good reason to congratulate
not only themselves bus each other because
the burden of debt which for some time has
hung like a pall over their church has final-
ly been lifted. Some time ago the con-
gregation paid off a note for $235, and on
Tuesday of this week a mortgage for $2,000
with $96.50 interest was paid and the only
obligation now standing against the church
is an account of $1,500, and it has been
amply provided for, so that the church
property can he considered free of debt.

bas been developing rapidly since its be-
ginning three years ago and the display
that Prof. Mairs will make at the fair next
week will be something that poultry grow-

not be made for preminme so that the local
growers who carried away so much, money
last year will be right in for more this
time.

Crass RusH AT STATE COLLEGE. —Sat-
urday last was quite a busy day at The
Pennsylvania State College, so far as sports
were concerned, as in addition to she State~
Geneva foot ball game the annual olass
rash between the Sophomores and Fresh-
men took place, in which the latter were
doubly victorious. The Freshmen, who
number over four huudred, lined up in
front of the main buildiog and started their
march down across the campus to the wain
street in the borough. Notwithstanding
the fact that they were fiercely opposed by
the Sophs the class of '11 marched un-
dauntedly on uvtil they reached the street.
Theo, just to show the upper classmen that |
they bad the right kind of college pluck |
and spirit they marched around and up the |
main driveway past the engineering build-
ing to in front of the main building and |
with a yell of defiance again marched down |
the campos to the street. Hats were |
smashed, clothing torn and quite a num- |
ber of stadents knocked ont but none were
seriously injured.
Avent the introductory days of the i
Freshmen the man who writes the weird |
tales published every Sunday on the third |
page of the Philadelphia North American |
bas the following to say in Monday's paper, |
though of course the WaTcHMAN don’ |
endorse it as gorreot :
STATE COLLEGE, PA., Sept. 20th. |
With the beginning of the school year at |
the agricultural college the raw members of i
the Freshman class are being put through a |
course of sprouts—in other words, they are
being trimmed according to the latest rules
of pruning.
Hazing at the college varies somewhat
from the prevailing customs at the larger
universities. Peanut rolling, abbreviated
dress aud other nonsensical stunts sre frown.
ed upon as savoring of mollycoddleism.
It was only the other day that a bunch of
Freshmen was captured and taken to a large
field, in which a few bucking and wild colts |
were grazing. The boys were tied to the
backs of the avimals, and, to encourage the
colts to do their best, firecrackers were ex
ploded,
Not siuce the strike of the students two
years ago was there so much excitement, and
the spectators all agreed thut the stunts per- |
formed by the victims put to shame any
Wild West performance ever given,
It is said that the next batch of Freshmen
will be run through a threshing machine,
and the affair will wind up with a thrilling
chariot race, in which harrows and stone
sleds will be used. In this way the wheat
will be separated from the chaff, and the
unfit students will be pulverized.

IN HoNor oF His TWENTY-FOURTH. —
Last Friday Hugh N, Crider, #on of Mr.
and Mrs. F. W. Crider, was twenty-four
years of age and in celebration of the event
his parents gave a small dinner party for
him that evening. It was in the nature of
a sarprise party and it fulfilled its mission
as Hugh had no inkling of what was going
on ootil he went home and found 'Sqnire
H. Laird Curtin waiting on him who, in
all serionsuess, asked him to go up to his
room as he bad something to tell him. Of
course Hugh willingly complied and when
be opened the door was amazed and dumb- i
founded to see is filled with a party of
young wen, calmly awaiting his home
coming. It is bardly vecessary to say
that the evening proved a most enjoyable
one, not the least part of whioh was the
elaborate dinner served. Hugh received a
number of presents from his young friends,
among which were two ‘‘antomobiles’’
though of course, he has not ye: tried them
out.
REV. RICHARDSON RESIGNS. — Rev.
Edwin G. Richardson, who so ably filled
the pastorate of St. John’s Episcopal
church in this place for a year or more, on
Monday banded in his resignation to the
vestry, giviog as his reason that his health
will not permit him keeping in active
work. His resiguation will take effect
November first and as coon after as possi-
ble Rev. Richardson will go abroad and as
now planved will spend the next two years
in traveling in Egypt and Africa.
While bere Rev. Richardson made many
friends not alone within his parish bas
throughout Bellefonte and his work for the
church and his people has been of the most
unselfish and untiring. And the one fact
to be regretted is shat the reverend gen-
tleman’s bealth is such as to render it im-
perative on him to sake this action.

Port Matiida, was visiting friends in Al-
toona on Sunday and that evening when
he attempted to board his train to come
home be was struck by the engine baaling
train No. 421, and narrowly escaped being

bad been said he attempted to oross the
tracks to train No. 34 when be was run
down by No. 421. The engine struck him
and knooked him to one side of the track.
He was picked up and hurried so the hos-
pital in the belief that he was fatally hart
but an examination in that institution
showed that no bones were broken and the
only injuries he sustained were contusions
of the head and body. He was admitted
for treatment.
