W. Shipley, of Unionville, was thrown from a buggy and sustained a bad fracture of the shoulder blade. Her husband had hitched up to drive to the farm and Mrs. Shipley got into the buggy to accompany him. While Mr. Shipley went into the stable on an errand the horse started, and in grabbing for the lines Mrs. Shipley got but one of them, the other falling to the ground. With but one line the horse was pulled up the bank and upset the buggy with the above result. se ~Rev. Joseph Novak, who was recent- ly ordained by Rt. Rev. E. A. Garvey, of Altoona, Pa., took charge of St. Michael's church, Clarence, on Sunday, July 2nd. St. Michael's church has been attended for the past year by Rev. Joseph H. Far- ran, pastor of St. Mary's church. The new pastor of St. Michael's is an Ameri- can born Slav. He recently completed his theological studies at St. Bonaven- ture’s Seminary and comes into his new field of labor with a zeal for the better- ment of the members of St. Michael's congregation. — Mr. and Mrs. G. Murray Andrews, who have returned to Bellefonte for the summer, entertained at dinner Thursday night, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Reynolds, of Lancaster. At the small bridge party given by Miss Mary Thom. as last night, the guests of some of her friends were the honor guests. Miss Katharine Curtin’s thimble party, given at her home at Curtin, for which the guests left on the nine thirty-two train, returning to Bellefonte at one o'clock, was given in honor of Mrs. H. Laird Cur- tin, a June bride. ——Claude Hoy, telegraph operator and assistant station agent at North Bend, Clinton county, mysteriously dis- appeared from that place on Sunday af- ternoon and no trace of his whereabouts was received until he landed in Belle- fonte Monday forenoon. Hoy's home is at Lemont and whether it was a case of homesickness or some other reason, he walked the entire distance from North Bend, coming over the Allegheny moun- tains by way of Howard. He was tired out when he reached this place, but pro- ceeded on his journey to Lemont. ——Mrs. Hugh North Crider gave a one o'clock luncheon last Saturday afternoon at which eighteen guests were present from Bellefonte and Tyrone. The affair was in honor of Miss Eleanor Franciscus, and it was made the occasion of the an- nouncement of her engagement to James Berkstresser, of Pittsburg. The an- nouncement was made in a very pretty and clever way. At the close of the luncheon the maid brought in a silver platter on which were a miniature bridal couple in full wedding costume, which she gave to the hostess. Mrs. Crider at once presented the same to Miss Fran- ciscus with her congratulations and best wishes. The wedding will take place on Thursday, October 19th. ——On Tuesday, Dave Chambers came to Bellefonte with a nicely wrapped brown paper package, and going to Sim Baum'’s clothing store gave it to Sim and told him he had brought him down a mess of fish. Of course Sim was all smiles and profuse with thanks and at once proceed- ed to open the package for a look at the fish. When he got it unrolled a nicely skinned four foot rattlesnake slid out and dropped to the floor, and the only reason Sim didn’t drop is because he was too busy putting distance between him and the dead snake. Of course he left out a few screams in the meantime and has hardly gotten over his fright yet. Mr. Chambers gathered up his snakeship and tried the joke on several others, among whom was county treasurer George Fink, but the latter was raised in a snake country and had seen too many kinds of snakes to even turn color at the charac- ter of Chambers’ “fish.” ~——During the past two weeks there has been considerable activity in the au- tomobile market in this place. Dr. R. G. H. Hayes is now driving a new Hudson fore door touring car which he purchased through the Sebringagency. I. J. Dreese, of Lemont, got his new Flanders touring car through the Beezer agency, and Charles R. Kurtz purchased his old Ford. 7 t. Beezer on Saturday received a new “Flanders runabout which was purchased by Col. W. Fred Reynolds tor his son Frederick. The latest investor in a ma- chine $s James C. Furst, who bought a second hand Maxwell from W. W. Keich- line & Co. Since returning from school Miss Ellen Hayes, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R. G. H. Hayes, has taken a fancy to motoring and already drives her father’s car with a great deal of skill and proficiency. Mrs. Ellis Bierley, a bride of only a month or so, is already driving her ~usband’s car like an old timer. | HeserLING.—Pine Grove Mills lost one of its best known and most representa- | tive citizens in the death on Sunday, July ' 2nd, of John G. Heberling. He had been ! a sufferer with heart trouble and other | ailments for over a year and during the | past three months his condition was very | serious, so that his death was not unex- | pected. { Deceased was a son of Joseph and Eliz- | abeth Pyle Heberling, who were among | | the pioneer settlers of West Ferguson township, where the village of Gatesburg is now located, and it is there that the subject of this notice was born on May | 5th, 1839, so that he was 72 years, 1 month and 27 days old. His early life was spent on the farm in summer time and at school in the winter until he grew to manhood. When the war broke out in 1861 he enlisted as a private in Com- pany E, Forty-fifth Pennsylvania Volun- teers, and served four years. At the bat- tle of Palmer's Farm he was so severely | wounded that his case was considered hopeless and he wasleft lying on the field three days without food or surgical aid and only the little water he had in his canteen. He was finally discovered by the confederates, taken as a prisoner to Libby prison, where he was given surgical atten- tion and finally recovered, being exchanged some time later. On Thanksgiving day, 1867, he was united in marriage to Miss Sadie Dunlap, of Pine Grove Mills, and to them were born three children, J. Benton, of State | College; M. E., of Pine Grove Mills, and Miss E. May, at home, all of whom with the bereaved wife mourn the death of a most loyal and loving husband and father. | The following brothers and sisters also | survive: Joseph H., of Pennsylvania Fur- nace; Thomas and Samuel, of Tyrone; James, of Eagleville; Mrs. Miles Harp- ster, of Pennsylvania Furnace; Mrs. O. Perry Gates and Miss Emma, of War- riorsmark. For many years he followed the occu- pation of a cabinet maker, to which he later added the undertaking business until failing health compelled his retirement and eighteen years ago he handed his busi- three terms and was a most competent | official. He joined the Pennsvalley Lodge of Odd Fellows forty years ago and eran church and filled the offices of elder and trustee.
