The majority of the grand jaries in the past fifteen years bave made recommen- dations for the enlargement and improve- ment of the court house so as toafford more office and vault room, a larger and better grand jury room with a witness room at- tached ; another traverse jury room, separate witness rooms for men aod women, a li- brary, judges private office, distriot ai- torney’s offices, ete. and, though several times the county commissioners discunesed she question of acting upoa the grand jury's recommendation it aiwayes ended in talk until now when it looks as if the project woald go through. Some time ago the court appointed J. Thomas Mitchell, H. C. Quigley and Harry Keller, members of the Centre county bar, a committee to confer with some leading architect regarding plane for the proposed enlargement of the court house and they coiamunicated with the firm of Newman & Harris, of New York. These men are not ouly well known in their profession, but M:. Harris is James R. Harris, a son of Mrs. Louisa Harris, of Allegheny street, aud patarally takes a personal interest in the matter. They prepared plans and two weeks or so ago Mr. Harris came bere and submitted the same to the county com- missioners for their consideration as well as for the recommendation of any changes they might desire or suggest. These plaos contemplate preserving the present structure in its entirety, except for the enlargement aud fireproofing of the vaults aud some interior adornment con- seraplated to restore the building to ite orizinal colonial sy mplicity and heauty. A 35x75 foot addition will be made to the rear of the building. enfficient to contain the needed office rooms and vault space, a large room for the grand jury with a wit. ness room attached, offices for the judge and the district attorney and a suitable library room. A basement is to be exca- vated ander this addition lor a storage room aod machinery. A vew and permanent roof is to be placed on the building and the present tower or lantern restored to ite former lightness and beauty. The second floor in the rear is to b: brought oot ona level with the ground and a colamned en- trance made similar to the preaeot [rons bas on a smaller scale. These changes, alterations and additions complete will cost about sixty th dollars, and for this amount of money Snipa. feel thas Centre cont a cours house which will a. favorably with those of the adjoining counties upon which up- wards of a quarter of a million dollars have been expended. Io order to properly discuss the plans and proposed obanges Judge Ellis L. Orvis entertained the county commissioners and members of the bar at a dinner at bis home last Saturday evening and after every de- tail bad beeu gone into there was a general unanimity of sentiment in favor of the work, and also of having it done as soon as possible. The plavs were on exhibition in the com- missioners office several days this week and those who have seen them are charmed with the architectural effects and the complete- ness of the interior arrangements, snd feel that the well known reputation of the architects will assure the citizens of Centre county a restored and enlarged court house whioh will be an object of pride to every one.

Four bundred people were present at this service and all were much impressed with the Major's talk and plea for the Salvation Army.

Instead of the regular service in the evening at 7:30 o'clock a twilight service has been substituted, heginning at 6:30 o'clock and continuing for three quarters of an hour. The short service will no doubt be appreciated during the hot sam- mer months, at least. —— Will Bellefonte have a street oarni- val during the fourth of July week or will it not, is the question now being agitated ? Instead of baving their customary picnic the Undine fire company decided to secare Hateh's Street Carnival company for a week's stand. They secured permission from council for the nse of the streets but pow several persous who do not want the carnival are engaged in a campaign of rais- ing money to keep the sireet shows away.

The bes bad only been advertised a few daye ana that might be the reason that it was not a bigger bee. Bat be that as it may, it was u very entertaining bee at that, and being { & bee without a stinger left no pains in ite trail ontside of the little qualms of self- consciousness that smote each apeller as he or she wens down on some word which afterwards seemed quite simple and easy. James R. Hughes presided over the bee and gave out the words while Mrs. H. C. Quigley and Miss Helen E. Overton aoted as judges, referees, etc. William A. Lyon and Rev. J. Allison Platts were selected as captains of she two sides and in the ee- lection of their spellers hoth displayed a wonderful knowledge of the spelling abili- ties of their chosen liectenants. About sixty people took part in the bee and when it onoe got agoin’ there was more buzzing than a whole colony of bees would make. When it came to spelling down some of the participants grew tired very quiokly while others, of course, stood up longer. Harry Keller Esq., carried off the honors but be had to spell some to down John Blanchard Esq. and Prof. Arthur Sloop. Taken as a whole, however, it was a nice little bee and it wouldn't be a bad thing to bave them more frequently.
