Stewart last Saturday the National Guard of Pennsyl- vania is to be reorganized on Janovary first to conform with the provisions of the Dick bill passed at the last session of Congress. And covsidering the fact that a fourth bri- gade is to be formed and the Fifth regiment disbanded as an organization there are a pumber of officers in and around Bellefonte who are facing the proposition of being of- ficers without an army after the reorgani- zation is complete, and naturally they are not feeling any too good about it,inasmuch as some of them at least, bave recently spent quite a nice sam purchasing new uniforms which now may he of no nse to them. While is has been known in National Guard circles for some time that such a reorganization would sake place it was the general belief that the Fourteenth regi- ment, of Pittshurg, would be the one dis. banded hut the politicians of thas city rallied to she support of its officers and going down to Harrisburg, it is alleged, with a petition signed by five thousand people, they kept the regiment intact asa provisional organiztion and the old loyal Fifth was the one to soffer. Under such circumstances it is not to he woodered at thas the officers of she Fifth feel pretty sore over their turn down. In the reorganization of the guard the present companies of the Fifth regiment will be assigned to other regiments and Company B, of this place, will he placed in the Twelfth regiment and he known as Company I.. Of conse when it comes to an assignment of officers for the new bri- gade the present officers of the Filth regi- ment, or at least some of them, may be given positions therein, inasmuch as they caunot be dieobarged from the servioe until their term of enlistment expires. In the event of their not being given such ap- pointment they will simply be army of- ficers on the waiting list, with little chance for honore or display. *>oe A NEW ‘WEBSTER.’ — Webster's Inter- national Dictionary hae long been recog- nized as easily the first of its class alike for the scholar and the unlettered man. With its predecessors, issued by the same pub- lishers, it has made ‘‘Webster”” a popular synonym of ‘‘dictiovary.” To surpass or sapeisede such a book might seem well- pigh impossible. Yet this has been el- fectoally accomplished by the skilllal and assiduous toil of a company of trained scholars, working together for many years; re-enforced by a wide circle of eminent ex- perts; following the Webster traditions and amplifying them by the latest modern knowledge; and backed by an expenditure commensurate with the purpose to *‘Ges The Best’ in every particular. Ibn general appearance the ‘‘New Webster’ is very much the same as the well known and al- ways sought old ove. It bas, however, four handred more pages and definitions of 400,« 000 words as against 170,000 contained in the one just revieed. Every new word, organization, discovery, phrase, thought, synonym, name, article, etc., that has ever been used, heard or thought of is fully de- fined and where illustrations can better present the matter, these are used without stint. In fact is isso enlarged in theamonnt ol information furnished that the man with a Webster or any other dictionary on his desk now will] consider them as nothing compared to the ‘‘New International.’ ee —— A short sweet story for you next issue, keep looking as the Faunble space.

The program was a long one and all those participating acquitted themselves in a very oreditable maoner. Following the exercises the stu- dents indulged in a little bit of comedy in the matter of the distribution of Christmas gilts. To each boy was given a stiok of candy while the gifts to the girls were quite varied, including everything feminine from a doll baby and box of taloum powder to a paper of hair pins. And the best part of it all was that the gifts were all accepted in the same fun-loving spirit which character- ized the giving of them and school aunded for the holiday vacation with a very fra. ternal feeling of good-lellowship among the student body. = == ~The Bellefonte High sochuvol basket ball team will play the Selinsgrove High school team in the Y.

AxornEr State COLLEGE STUDENT DiED SUDDENLY .—James Albert Green, of Leraysville, Towando county, a stadent in the short course in agriculture at The Pennsylvania State College, died quite saddenly about noca on Saturday as the result of an epileptic fit. The young man bad been subject to such fits from child- hood and as a consequence his health was somewhat impaired. Notwithstanding thia fact he manifested such a great desire to take the short course in agricnltare at the college that his family coumsented and he wens there about D2cember fires to take up his work. Realizing his condition, how- ever, an elder brother accompanied him to take care of bim. On Friday evening last he complained of not feeling very well and Saturday morning be went tc the bath room and had baidly gotten inside the door when his brother heard him fall. He was unconscious when he got to him and remained in thas condition until be died at voon, the direct cause of his death being hemorrhage of the brain. Following so close upon the death of young Held Mr. Green's death might appear like a fatality hanging over the college were it not for the fact that his family and friends had for some time anticipated such an ending be- cause of the young man’s affliction. Brief funeral services were held at the college on Monday morning after whioh the remaios were taken home to Leragysville for interment. cs AY = i To PaTroNS OF RURAL MAIL Roures. —From a recent count made by rural car- riers in one of the counties in the State of New York of coins deposited by patrons in their boxes for the purchase of stamp sup- plies, it was found shat each carrier in the county was oollecting an average of 115 one-cent ooins each week. This average applied to all the routes in operation thronghout the country wouald give the enormous total of about 300,000,000 one- cent coins, As most of these coins are deposited loose in boxes, it is desirable that you and the raral carriers, in a tactful and polite way, put forth your best efforta to induce patrons to provide themselves with stamp supplies in advance of their needs, and to equip their boxes with suitable coin holding receptacles. It should be explained to patrons that the pioking of loose coins from boxes not only results in needless hardship and suffering so carriers in winter weather, delays she delivery and collection of the maile, but frequently results in actual money loss to she carriers, for if, in ool- lecting coins from boxes, they drop them into the snow or on the ground without recovery, they are required to replace the amount ont of their own fands. ees KNIGHTS OF MALTA.—A new lodge of the Knights of Malta bas been organized at Boalshnrg and will be instituted and the officers installed ou Friday, January 76h.
