T. Speer, the other day received a postcard from his son, Edward, at Hoxie, Kan., showing the result of the anunal roundup of the rabbit bunt in that section. Though the exact number of rabbits was not given, from the gize of the pile as it appeared in the picture there must have heen in the neighborhood ofa car load of dead bunnies. And they were not the ordinary rahbit of this locali- ty, but the big Jack rabbit, almost the size of a dog. Just think of this when you go ous for rabbits next fall and wish you were in Kansas. — rms —— On Friday last W. W. Hagan, a son of Johu Hagan, of near Beech Creek. had his right hand badly mangled in a corn shredder. Hagan is about thirty years old and was feeding the shredder at the barn of his uncle, William J. Hagan. In some way he got his baud too close to the rapidly revolving oylinder with the resnlt that his fiogers were caught in the cogs and terri. bly lacerated before the machine could be stopped. He was taken to Beech Cieck where it was found necessary to amputate the two fingers next the thumb, and itis hoped the others can be saved. - eee ——Last Saturday morning Wallace White and John Dale, of Axe Mann, were driving down the new state road towarde Milesburg. While going down the hill on the other side of the old chain works the harness broke, allowing the buggy to run acainst the horse. The anima! began kick- ing and became nuranageable. Mr. White was thrown out of the buggy on the side of the hill but Mr. Dale stuck to the lines un- til the rupaway collided with the heavy wagon of D. P. Shirey, of Union township, who was on his way to Bellefonte, when be was thrown ous and the buggy literally smashed to kindling wood. The horse was finally caught in Mileshurg. Both White aud Dale were considerably bruised but not seriously injured. eases A — Edward P. Gamble, of Altoona, dep- aty factory inspector for this district, was in Bellefonte this week making an inspeo- tion of the various industries in and around Bellefonte as well as the buildings to see that that they are properly safe-guarded so far as fire escapes are concerned. And in this connection Mr. Gamble recently be- came aware of a peculiar point in the facto- ry inspection law. A three or four story building, the upper floors of which are used as living apartments, offices, or workshops of any kind, or a place of amusement, mustjbe adequately provided with fire es- capes, bat if the top floor is used solely as a lodge room for any organization or so. ciety the law does not require that it be proyided with fire escapes.

In the reports of the varions committees the Street commistee reported the work of filling up and grading Howard, Water and Lamb streets completed. In miscellaneous business complaint was 9 mouths and | again made to conueil of the offset in the | pavement between the Moutgomery and | Hibler properties on Allegheny street and the matter was referred to the Street com- mittee. Complaint was also made as to the condition of the sidewalk on the concrete | bridue over the race, which is lower iu the middie thao at the sides and consequently when it rains ia several inches under water. This matter was also referred to the Street committee, probably as one of the safest places to put it. In the question of the 1equest to the Steam Heating company for a reduction in the price charged for heating the public building, tbe committee reported that the request had been refused on the ground that the rate was the same as charged else- | where. John J. Bower E«q., preferred a request for an arc light on east Linn street, either in front of hiv residence or at the junction of Linn and Wilson streets. Edward Over- son also asked for a light on the south end of St. Paul street. Both reguests were re- ferred to the Street committee.

Claude Moore is again seen on our streets, having left the city of Williamsport and re- turned to the town of his birth, The Mattress factory is running double time, having large orders. Weber Thomas deserves much credit for his push and energy in making it a success. The following students from State College visited their parents during the Holidays: Balser Weber, Perl Thomas, Walter Muffly, Charles Bowers and Willard McDowell. Miss Edna Reber who was formerly em- ployed in Philadelphia as a trimmer and later was in North Carolina in a branch house, spent the holiday season at home. We mention the death of Keifer Leathers, a citizen of Howard township, who died after a lingering illness with nervous pros tration. He was one of the most exemplary men, honest and upright in all his dealings. Supt. D. O. Etters. visited Howard last Monday and Tuesday in the interest of the schools. He is giving good satisfaction, and is a man of vo two hour speeches, but of few words; a man to act and enforce that which advances the interest of education. Howard council met last Monday evening aud gave W. H. Long the privilege to set poles and string wires to light places of business and residences of the town with electric lights. Should this light prove satisfactory, snd the citizens of Howard desiredit, this is the golden opportunity. The Christian people are arranging church services to aid all denominations; The Ger: mun Reformed have the Evangelical church on alternate Sunday evening, at which time Rev. Crow, of Hublershurg, preaches. The Presbyterians have rented the Chris- tian chapel and on alternate Sunday even: ings Rev. Dr. Laurie, of Bellefonte, fills the pulpit. Lemont.

Smith and family departed for Michigan, where they will make their future home, they having moved their furniture there. Tuesday morning it began to snow, and snowed all day and the night following mak- ing the deepest snow that has fallen this winter. Some of the farmers are hauling in corn fodder, and the ones that hauled theirs in early in the fall say it is rottening in the mow and they wish it was in the field. Joseph Parker, George C.

It is now in course of demoliticn, The board walk from the iron bridge over Penn's Creek to the Lutheran church build: ing, which has been in a sesvdalous condi tion for several months, has been repaired. New Years day was celebrated here in quite n lively manner. Happy New Year appeared to be on every tongue. Some of our folks entertained quite largely. The Mummers were out in full force and eaused considerable merriment. Many of the cos tumes were the most ridiculous imaginable and the vehicles of a dilapidated and ancient character. It was with difficulty that several of the jaded horses were prevented from wending their way toward x feed store, In the afternoon a majority of the shooters made a visit to Millbeim. We had quite a patriotic scene here on Wednesday last, the occasion being, 1 might say, the dedication of a new and handsome flung; also a new bell for the scademy build- ing. The flag staff, over seventy-five feet high, was erected a month or two since. These emblems were obatined hy the per- severance and sole efforts of Rev. Haney, one of the department teachers, who really de- serves all the credit for securing them. All the pupils with the exception of those of the High school participated in the exercises, The addresses and recitations were appropri- ate and interesting and gnite abiy delivered, while the singing was decidedly excellent. All this is well enough and highly com- mendable to instruct the pupils to honor the American flag and uphold the principles of constitutional liberty, law and order. But now shout the vaccination enactment which the pupils, by example, are taught to disre- gard and ignore? Is it not a trifle inconsist: ent, if not absurd, to honor one and repudiate the other? or to exact obedience to all the rules and regulation of a school, and if violated require a pennity? Yet these same pupils are tanght by example six daysa week to regard the law of a State as of no value or effect. Is vo one amenable for these bold violstions? Can a law be ignored and treated as a nullity at the ecaprice or whim of the dissatisfied? Is there no remedy? The thoughtful and judicions pause for a reply. On Tuesday evening last the lady friends of Mrs. W. R. Donachy. of Lewisburg, daugh- ter of Magistrate M. B. Hering, who has been visiting her parents here for some time, startled her by a birthday surprise party. The affuir was ably munaged and kept a pro- found secret, as she had not the remotest idea that anything of the kind was in con- templation, aud naturally was astounded at the unexpected visitation of such a large delegation of friends. However, after re- into the spirit of the occasion with a lively humor, acted the hostess in her usual refin- ed nnd agreeable manner and was only anx- ious that ail should feel perfectly at home and enjoy themselves. The occasion was certainly a most delightful one, being a con- tinual round of pleasure and enjoyment. Elegant refreshments of 8 choice and dainty character, which had been previously pro- vided, were duly served and to which all did ample justice. The evening passed rapid- ly and after having been delightfully euter- tained, and wishing the hostes< many re- turns of the day, st u seasonable hour all re tired to their respective homes. Mrs. Dona - chy was the recipient of quite » large num- ber of remembrances. The gnests present were Mrs. C. P. Long, Mrs. Braucht, Mrs, J. N. Leitzell, Mrs. A. Shook, Mrs. C. C. Cummings, Mes. Wm. Meyer, Mrs, H. IL Brian, Mrs. C. C. Bartges, Mr< DD. Sweet. woud, Mrs. G. C. King, Mrs. W. L. Campbell, Mrs DM. McCool, Mrs. G. N. Wolf, Mrs. C. E. Zeigler, Mrs. J. H. Hazel, Mrs. W. O.

Record Grain Basiness DurLurH, MINN, JANUARY 7.—The record for grain business at this port hae heen hioken bv the business of 1907, which amonnted to 88 409,000 bushels all grains. Of this immer se total 55,300 000 bushels were wheat, 18,981,000 were flax and the rest oats, barley, rye and corn. The latter amounted to very little, and is not ban- dled here to any material extent. The next largest year in the trade here was in 1898, with 85.842 000 bushels. There are 33.000,000 bushels elevator storage capac- ity here, hus the stocks now on band ate quite small. [tis expected that the east- ern demand for wheat will be so heavy as some time during the winter that all-rail ghipments will be made to eastern and seaboard points.
