a big undertaking on bis bande, but in re-
modeling the old court honse Gebret &
Lambert bave a job that will keep them
bustling if they want to get it in «bape for
holding court at the regular December
terns. They have now been at work on is
a month or more and the only visible ad-
vance #0 {ar is shat the interior of the court
room looks as if it had been struck bya
cyclone. The seats are all torn up and
heaped in piles at the sides cf the room.
Workmen are engage! in tearing down the
steel ceiling while the Bellefonte Eieotric
company bave a force of men engaged in
rewiring she building. Io order to prevent
auy possibility of fire the wires are all be-
ing pat in iron pipes and placed beneath
she floors and thus are protected from the
depredations of rats and mice as well as
weather conditions, etc.
This ie as far as the workmen Lave got-
ten up to this writivg and when it is con-
sidered that a new ceiling is to be pat oo,
a new roof, numerous changes in the of-
fices, vaults, etc. ; the front stairways to be
raised, two public lavatories to be placed
in the front part of the building snd pri-
vate lavatories in the various offices and
for the convenience of the court upstairs;
the entire heating system to be cbanged
and a dozen and one other things to be
done, it can easily he seen that the con-
tractors will have to hustle to get through
with the old building, let alone the new.
As to the latter, at the rate Mr. Taylor's
gang is working it will be three weeks or a
mouth yet before they will bave the fono-
dation for the new building entirely com-
pleted.
Daring the progress of the excavations
the men have bad to resort to the heaviest
kiud of blasting aud frequently windows
in nearby houses have heen broken, but
on Tuesday morning a record-breaking
blast was put off. Huge stones were
thrown over two hundred feet in the air.
One of them, bigger than a mau’s bead
was thrown over the intervening buildings
and fell on the root of Dr. Locke's house,
knocking off the top of the chimney, a los
of slate aud a piece of cornice. Another
stoue went up through the cornice of the
court house and lodged there while another
came down in the alley above Stitzer’s
and broke several trunk wires for the Com-
mercial selephone company. Stones as big
as a boy's head were thrown over the court
house and came down in the middle of the
street in the Diamcnd, while smaller stone
were thrown down High street as far as
tbe Curtin residence. Fortunately nobody
was on the street at the time aod, conse-
quently, nobody burt.

WiLL GAME BE PLENTIFUL.—Ioasmuch
as the opening of the bunting season ie now
drawing very near the query naturally
arises in she mind of every bunter in the
county, will game be plentilal this year?
While the writer is not in a position to
give positive assurance one way or the oth-
er, the indications are that game ol all
kinde will be more plentiful this year than
it was last ; and perbaps for several years
previous.
Woodsmen who bave spent the summer
on the mountains, confirm the above.
They deolare that small game, such as
squirrel, pheasants, wild tarkeys and rab-
bite, will be quite nomerons and give as
the reason the dry weather, which was pro-
pitiouns for the growth of the young game,
and the absence of fire on the mountaine.
Deer and bear are aleo said to be plentiful
enough to uffer good sport when the season
opens, and as the season for the latter will
open one week from today it might be well
to get your bear gun in shape.
The various hunting parties throoghous
the county, and there are dozens of them,
are already figuring on where they will
itch their tents during the open season

ized until that convention of road euper-

Since then there bave been one or two
special meetings to arrange the desails for
a olub run or something of the kind, but
so far as the writer knows there bas not
been one regular meeting and she good
work began in the interest of the better-
mens of the public roads throughout the
country has been allowed to lag. At the
time the road supervisors convention was
held here enough interest was shown
by those officials throughout the county to
justify the assertion that they are not op-
posed to the good roads movement; and to
make is what it shonld be
country the work should be kept up con-
tinually. Good roads cannot be maintained
by one or two month’s work; bat by the

has made a leading study of the temper-

should not be legalized by law. Mr. Hau-
