Trout 8gasoN OPENS. —The trout fish-
ing season opened yesterday and the usual
number of fishermen were ous to sry their
lack, and luck was about all it was, too,
for there wasn’t any certainty about get-
ting the srout. About everything possible
was against an auspicious opening. The
water was muddy, bigh and swils, the
weather was cold and the tront—most im-
portant of all—appeared very scarce.
There were no phenomenal catches, not-
withstanding the fact that scores of fisher-
men lined the banks of Spring creek from
early in the morning until late in the fore-
noon. While it has been impossible at the
time this report was written to get any de-
tailed account of the various catohes it can
safely he stated that none of them were
phezomenal and that the aggregate of trou
taken from Centre county streams was
much smaller than on any opening day in
years,
Nota fisherman was seen hereabouts
whose catch exoeeded a hall dozen trout
while the general run was from two to four
of the speckled beauties. Probably the
biggest trout taken from Spring creek was
caught by George Keeler, who landed one
measuring sixteen inches in length. John
Trafford canght a thirteen inoh beauty just
below the falls above the WATCHMAN office
while several smaller ones were hooked al-
most opposite the editor's window.
Quite a number of Bellelonters went
down to Fishing creek but at this writing
no full report has been received of the
catch there, though it would likely be
about on a comparison with the fishermen’s
lack on other streams.
eo
Two OLp LETTERS. —The WATCHMAN
is in receipt of two very old letters from
our old friend, Daniel McBride, of Fort
Dodge, Iowa, but a native of Centre coun-
ty. The oldest of the letters is dated
March 1st, 1829, and is from J. Mitchell,
who was then Congressman from the dis-
triot of whioh Contre county formed a part,
to Daniel MoBride, an uncle of the above
named Daniel MoBride, advising him of
his appointment as a cadet to the Wess
Point military academy.
The second letter is from cadet Thomas
A. Morris to Daniel MoBride, who was
compelled to give up his studies at West
Point on accoant of illness. This letter was
written in June, 1831, and was received
by cadet McBride only a short time before
bis death, which occurred on she old Mo-
Bride homestead near Pleasant Gap now
owned hy county commissioner Harry E.
Zimmerman. The writer of the letter,
cadet Morris, afterward became a major
general in the federal army and was fora
long time chief in command of the works
at Cairo, Ills.
Prior to going to West Point Daniel
MeoBride learned the printer's trade under
Heory Petriken in the old Bellefonte Patriot
office and was for a time local editor and
then editor in chief, the latter while Mr.
Petriken served in the Legislature.
[If the Centre connty historical society
desires above letters they can have same
by calling for them. —EDITOR.]

No More BoxiNeg Marcugs.—Follow-
ing she boxing tourney in the armory on
Wedoesday evening of last week the
borough authorities issued an ediot that
they would not allow any more boxing
bouts to be held within the borough limits.
While such action on the part of the
borough authorities will appeal $0 many
right thinking people, it was bardly neo-
essary to put forth such a proclamation as
a more decisive mandate than the notice of
the Fire and Police committee put a ban
on any further matches. The fact that
neither of the two held lately drew enough
patronage to more than hall meet expens-
es. One venture of that kind is enough
for any promoter or manager, and when a
certain kind of sport is nos patronized
enough to make it pay expenses there need
be no lear of is being continued.

it began raining on Tuesday afternoon and

~——There bave been more bald heads
around State College the past week than
ever before. Some fifty or more students
were unable to get away for the Easter
vacation and the most of them celebrated
the detention by baving their hair olipped
close to the cranium, so that when they
made their first appearance in chapel and
recitation balls instead ofa body of students
they looked like a big orop of huge billiard
balls. Of course their bair will grow
again.
~The well known Curtin residence,
on High street, is for sale if the heirs can
get their price for it. It is one of the most
substantial dwelliogs in the town and is
built of stone. It is commandingly lo.
cated and is historic as being she home of
the late Governor Andrew Gregg Curtin
during all his illuastrions career. It is now
occupied by Dr. and Mrs. George F. Harris,
but it is so large for them that they want
to dispose of it, and go to boarding. Un.
less they find a puorchaser they will con-
tinue to make their home there during the
summer, but as planned now they will
quit housekeeping in the fall, though the
dootor will retain his office there until the
house is sold.
THe LILY AXD THE PRINCE. —A J of |
unusoal interest is “The Lily and The
Privce,”” which will be the attraction at
Garmau’s Tuesday evening, April 20th
The play is a romantic drama of poetic con-
ception and remarkable construction, pre-
senting a much involved plot in olear out-
lines and comprehensible sequence. It
shares the exoellence of the romantio school
high sentiment and violent action go hand
in band, and innocence walks unscathed
through dangers wuod tribulations. The
time is thas of Alexander, the Borgia Pope ;
the place, Florence and Rome. In the
first act a charming rose garden shows an
idylio love scene hesween the hero and the
heroine, followed hy the appearance of a dis-
guised political conspirator, who endeavors
to entangle ‘'Count di Savelli,”’ the hero-
ine’s father, in a plot against she Pope.
Before the curtain falls, papal soldiers have
arrested the ‘‘Coant’’ for his complicity.
The second act shows the tapestry room in
the palace of Lucrezia Borgia, to whom
Angela, the heroine, appeals for av audi-
ence with the Pope. This fair lady has
fallen in love with Angela's lover “Orsini”
aud endeavors to rain her in his sight by
an apparent affair with the Prince of
Coloona. The third act shows the Council
ol the Inquisition in midnight session and
the trial of Conus di Savelli. His daughter
penetrates the chamber and proves his in-
nocence by resognizing the president of the
Council by his voice as she conspirator who
tempted her father. The last act brings the
trinmph of the good and the fall of she
wicked, but with much evolution and skill-
ful disentanglement. Things are happen-
ing all the time, aod situation and dra-
matic action are in full requisition throagh*
out the play. in which Miss Blanche Hal!
appears as leading lady. The production
i* handsomely staged and presented hy a
company of clever and capahle players.

FIRE AT SWING FACTORY. —Shortly be
fore six o'clock on Satarday evening fire
broke out in the drying room at the
Bellefonte swing factory and before the
flames were gotten under control a good
part of the stock in the room was either de-
stroyed or damaged. The drying room is
located immediately over the boiler room
and whether the fire was the result of over-
heating, a spark, or spontaneous combus-
tion is not known. The fire companies
were prompt in responding and succeeded
in confining the flames to one room; a
very fortunate thing, as, had it once brok-
en out, with she high wind prevailing at
the time it might bave made a very disas-
trous conflagration. The loss is partially
covered by insurance.
