A splendid orchestra, tuneful musicial numbers, fine costoming aod effective stage settings added the necessary touches to the talent of the students as artists in blackface and delighted a large and very fashionable audience. The first part, or overture, revealed a setting, when she curtain rolled up, thas bas pever been surpassed in an amateur enfer- taiomens here. The Academy colors, gold and white, formed the principal stage decorations and made ao especially good back ground for the sixty black singers and commedians in their brilliant costumes ; The orchestra in red coats and caps lending the right dash of color to the setting and myriad electric lights over the baloonies illumining every detail. While it would be insidioos to draw com- parisons John J. South, W. D. Crooks and Robt. Elliotts were so conspicuous in the excellence of their work that we cannot refrain from commenting on is. As ends South and Crooks were exceedingly clever. Both have good ringing voices and proved fun makers of the first calibre. In the farce “The Booster Club from Blackville” Elliott showed himself to fine advantage as a delineator of the negro character. In fact it was one of the very best bits of amatear work we have ever seen. Under the direction of Mr. Sherwood E. Hall the maosicial numbers were effectively rendered. He bad assembled a splendid orchestra to support his singers tut only a trained and very painstaking director could bave accomplished the results that so de- lighted the andience of Taesday evening. The show was a great step in advance of last year’s undertaking and we are sare that it more than fulfilled the expectations of the public. > A PLEASANT REUNION.—QOue of the most pleasant and probably most remark. able family reunions ever held in Centre county was that at the home of Mrs. Eliza- beth Glenn, at State College, on Wednes- day. It was in honor of the celebration of that lady's birthday anniversary and there were present her five children, name- ly: Dr. W. 8. Glenn, of State College; Rev. George M. Glenn, of Sanbary; D. L. Glenn, of Sparrow’s Point, Md.; Dr. T. O. Glenn, of Bradford, and Renben M. Glenn, of Indian Territory; as well as her three brothers and two sisters, as follows: Misses Thresa and Sarah A. Meek, of Buffalo Ran; P. Gray Meek, of Bellefonte; D. L. Meek, of Waddle, and L. Olin Meek, of Philadel. phia. Mrs. Glenn is a daoghter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Meek and the remarkable fact in connection with this family reunion is that all her brothers and sisters are still living and all her children, except one, who died in girlhood; a life record that probably not another family in Centre county can produce. In addition to the members of the family about twenty intimate friends were also present so felicitate with Mrs. Glenn upon this happy occasion, which to her had a double meaning. It will be remembered that about a month ago her house was damaged by fire to that extent that she was compelled to vacate it until repairs were made and Wednesday marked the reopening of her house as well as the cele- bration of her birthday. COO rs MORE RAILROAD TALK.—General Man- ager Atterbury aod a number of other officiale of the Pennsylvania railroad ocom- pany recently made a trip over the Bald Eagle Valley railroad from Tyrone to Look Haven and as a consequence talk has been revived abouts the double tracking of the road during the coming summer. The Pennsylvania's tonnage of coal from the bitaminons regions is constantly inoreas- ing, and a large part of this is now sent east over the Bald Eagle Valley railroad and the Philadelphia and Erie. The freight traflic over the Bald Eagle ie already quite heavy and the fact that the railroad company contemplates handling even more of their coal business over this road is giv- en as almost a sure reason why they will be compelled to double track it, While the double tracking of the Bald Eagle might not be of any directs advantage to Belle- fonte the work that it would require todo it would give employment to quite a nam- ber of men and naturally would put a cer- tain additional amount of money in oiroa- lation in this community. Therefore it is hoped thas the present talk is not only idle rumor but will prove to be an established fact.

A special prize was given Henry Keller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Keller, by Miss Overton, because of the general exoellence of his essay. ——An illustration of how an Isalian can make money in this conntry is shown in the fact thas the first week in February a native of thas conutry, who had been working hereabounts the past ten or twelve years, lelt Bellefonte for his old home with four thousand dollars in cash ; and just last week another Italian left for his native land with sixteen thousand dollars.

Now TALKING ICE PLANT.—Ou the morning of February 20d when the sun shone long enough for the groundhog to see his shadow and she afternoon of that day was cloudy the groundbog weather prophets said the first two or three weeks thereafter would be marked by cold winter weather while she latter half of his hog- ship's allowance would be mild. More than three weeks have elapsed aod in that time we have not had four days of cold weather. In facts it has been very mild most of the time with more than the usual quantity of rain. Now if the eusuing three weeks will be still warmer we'd better begin to look up our linen duster and panama hat. Bat then you can’t always go by the groundhog any more than you can by auy other kind of hog, and we may yet have a severe spell of winter weather. Be that as it may, however, there is oon- siderable alarm among the people of Belle- fonte over the facs thas they bave nos yet had the opportanity so fill their ice houses and fear lest they will not be able to do so. And this bas again revived talk among a number of business people as to whether or not it would be a good proposition to build an ice plant bere for the manufacture of artificial ice. With the abundance of pare spring water in $his neighborhood ice of the very best quality could be manufactar- ed, and that at a cost about equal to the harvesting of the natural product. ———— Hers INSTALL NEW OFFICERS. —At a regular meeting of the Bellefonte Lodge of Heptasophs, held in their hall in the Un- dine building, last Friday evening, the following officers were installed for the ensuing year : Past archon, Thomas Beav- er; archon, Robert Woodring; provess, P.
