AEP —— SATURDAY'S PRIMARIES.— Only about fifteen {per cent. of the voters of Centre county, Democrats and Republicans, at- tended the primaries last Saturday, and the small number can only be accounted for in the fact that there were no important oon- tests before the people. The only real con- test on the Democratio ticket was for the election of State delegates, there being five eandidates for the four places, the four highest being those elected. The complete vote was counted by the county commis. sioners on Wednesday and the official re- sals is as follows : DEMOCRATIC, State Delegates : James H. Corl.. MH. J.

BiG ALFALFA.—On Tuesday morning our genial friend, Mike Hazel, brought into this office a stock of alfalfa which meas ured just three feet one and a hall inches, When it ie considered that the stalk was pulled on the 8th day of June its growth was phenomenal and must be accredited either to the fact that Mr. Hazel’s little farm up Spring creek is well adapted to the growing of alfalfa or else he under- stands the cultivation of is better than the average Centre county farmer. He hasa plat of about one-half acre in alfalfa and while itall is not as tall as the stalk brought to this office it averages an un- usal height for this time of year and prom- ises several gocd crops before the summer is over. The ground on which it is grown is of a rather sandy soil on which was scattered a dressing of lime alter the alfalfa bad been planted. i ——A meeting of the Bellefonte school board was held on Monday evening and as they bad much more weightier questions to discuss relative to the erection of the new school building the matter of reorganizing for the ensuing year was held over until Abe next meeting night | AEE AH 5 -——— HexsyL.—Alter a painlal illness lasting over a period of three years or longer Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Hensyl, widow of the late Dr. L.

Nothing of importance was re- ported by the regular standing committees, The special water committee reported thas all the bids received by them for the building of the new hydro-electric plant were considered too high and the matter wae referred back to Jackson & Jackson, of Boston, tbe engineers who estimated on the cost of the plant and who bave the work ip charge, for re-consideration.

The Robinson circus bas al- ways been especially popular bere, and this season will be no exception. The happy boliday orowd, excellent bands, handsome wagous and horses, funny clowns, big elepbants, ungainly camels and pretty ponies will combine to make this a real circus day—John Robinson’s day. The show, by the way, makes a specialty of clowns, and between forty and fifty of these funny fellows will contribute to the pleasure of the multitode. Uoder the caption ‘‘Jobn Robinson's Great Show.’’ the Review, Alliance, Obio, says : “The menagerie is interesting and won- derful and captivates the beholder. It represents ball a century of bunting, breed- ivg and care, and an investment of over $100,000. Many of the animals are the rarest of jungle specimens. The collection becomes all the more significant when the subserviency of the animals to she will of man is noted. This is particularly true of the famous riding seals. These queer creatures of the deep play ball, juggle brands of fire, do balancing acts and play musical instruments while riding horses thas bound around the cirole. “In the circus itself there were a score of male equestrians, almost as many female aerialists, a score of acrobats and tumblers, no end to special features, something new to attract in the different rings of the pa- villion all the time, while 50 funny clowns were sous, wally performing their merry antics to the delight of all. .
