The bal- ance of the population of Bellefonte have been shivering and shaking all week and wondering what has gone wrong with the prognostications of those weather-wise prophets who declared that we would have a very mild winter. Comparatively mild it was up until last Thursday even- ing when a blinding snow storm was fol- lowed with a drop of about fifteen degrees ! in the thermometer in three hours and by Friday morning it was down to the zero mark. High wind prevailed all day ' Friday and although it fell that evening by Saturday morning the weather was the coldest of the year, the thermometers in town registering from two to ten degrees below zero, according to location. The cold prevailed all day Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the thermoneter never ris- ing over ten degrees above zero until Monday evening when there was enough rise in the temperature to permit of another snowfall of about four inches. | As usual the snow was followed by high wind and by Tuesday morning it was again very much on the blizzard order. : Though it has continued cold and rough | since then there is consolation in the pre- dictions of the weather man that milder weather will prevail the latter part of this week and the beginning of next. As stated in the beginning of this article the ice men are now happy. Bellefonte has been experiencing an ice famine the past month, as all the dealers were out of natural ice and the | only sources of supply were from Doll's | ice plant and what could be purchased in | | other places. The cold weather, however, \ is producing the real article and by Mon- i day morning the various ice dams had a ; coating from six to seven inches thick. | Naturally all the dealers and a number | of private individuals began cutting that | day and so far several hundred tons have | been cut and stored. Of course, not any- ways near the supply needed has yet been housed, but if the cold weather continues another week the ice men will sleep more complacently at night than they have been doing the past month. nc mW AN INJURY THAT PROVED, A BENEFIT.— About ten years ago John Johnson,of Ma- rengo, this county, was out in the woods chopping wood when his left eye was pierced by a thorn and as a result of the injury a scum grew over the eye destroy- ing the sight thereof. About a month ago he was again out in the woods chop- ! ping when a thorn pierced his right eye, rendering him totally blind. He is a member of the Knights of Malta and his brother knights prevailed upon him to consult a specialist. Consequently about ten days ago he went to the Wills Eye hospital, Philadelphia, for treatment, and | during the past week his family received word that the physicians not only fixed | up his right eye so that the sight will not | be entirely destroyed but removed the | scum from the left eye which has been musical comedy. Twenty-five people, Thursday, January 18th, at Garman’s ——Sabbath morning, January 14th, the congregation of the Presbyterian church of Bellefonte will observe the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. At this time it is expected that each member of the church be present to engage in this ordinance whereby we “show forth the Lord's death till he come.” ——Some of the schools in both the new High school and brick buildings had to be closed this week because it was im- possible to keep the rooms comfortable. At the High school building it was not because of the inefficiency of the heating system but because of something getting wrong with the mechanism, which was proved by the fact that the temperature would go down to fifty degrees then sud- denly jump to eighty. ——A corps of civil engineers are en- gaged surveying on the preposed state road routes through Buffalo valley, on the way from Lewisburg to the Narrows and into Centre county.

When they do it is possible a survey will be made of all the proposed main routes through the county, ee ——Fred Lewis Pattee, professor of English language and literature at The Pennsylvania State College, is the author of a novel entitled “The Breaking-Point,” which will be issued on January 31st from the press of Small, Maynard & Co., Inc., of Boston, Mass. In the publisher's announcement they state that ‘Professor Pattee has written an absorbing novel, and one of serious importance.” They further state that “not since the days of ‘The Damnation of Thereon Ware’ have we had a book which has so demanded the thoughtful consideration of men and women who have at heart the problems of the church and its work in the world.” The book will be sold at $1.25 per copy, or by mail for $1.37. —————e — -—From all indications there will be a large number of public sales this spring and much moving around among farmers. March is always the big month for the public vendue of farm stock and ma- chinery but February also has a goodly number. Every year from two to three hundred thousand dollars worth of farm stock and implements change hands through the medium of the public sale, and probably half the amount goes to farmers who have acquired a competence and wish to retire to private life or else quit the farm to engage in business of some kind. This is a good object lesson that there is money in the farm if up-to date methods are used, and very few farmers these days are not up-to-date. ini imide ~——On Tuesday evening a twelve year old boy went into Doll's bakery and asked { totally blind for ten years and he can | for a dish of ice cream.

Chester O. Dunlap, of Lock Haven, who has rep- resented the company in this section of the State the past eight or ten years, is now in Bellefonte in charge of the work. He has three assistants and he estimates that it will take from six weeks to two months to do the work. The site se- lected at Peru includes about . thirty-five separate tracts or parcels of land and the title to each one will have to be traced back without a break in the chain to the original patentee. Only a perfectly clear title will be accepted by the State as the institution once erected will be a per- manent one and naturally there must be no flaw in anything relating thereto. DroprPED DEAD ON ROAD. —On Friday afternoon, December 29th, Mr. and Mrs. I. K. Hetrick and J. F. Longwell left Bellefonte to drive over the Seven moun- tains to their home at Milroy. When near Pat Gherrity's place on the moun- tain one of the party inquired as to the time of day. Mr. Hetrick unbuttoned his coat and pulled his watch from his pocket, but before he could state the time he was stricken with apoplexy and fell to the ground, dying almost instantly. The body was carried to Gherrity’s home where it was kept until an undertaker could be secured from Milroy to convey the remains home. Hetrick had walked some distance up the mountain and it is possible the attack was brought on from over-exertion, though he had made no complaint about feeling bad. -to- ~The two story school building at Mackeyville was entirely destroyed by fire last Friday night and everything in it went up in smoke except one small book case. The fire evidently originated from a defective heating apparatus, as once or twice before the ceiling in the lower room caught fire but it was always dis- covered in time to extinguish the flames without doing much damage.

His identity being ‘known he was arrested on Wednesday and that evening taken before 'Squire Brown for a hearing. He admitted the theft, said that he got a one dollar bill, but stated that the job had been planned by another boy who took the money from him and kept all of it for himself. On account of the tender age of the boy Mr. Doll agreed to his discharge after the ‘Squire had given him a good lecturing. >on —On his way down street one day last week Samuel Miller, one of the bar- tenders at the Bush house, slipped and fell on the pavement in front of the Gar- man residence, breaking his left arm. The injury will keep him from work for some weeks und is naturally considerable of a hardship. There are a lot of pave- ments in Bellefonte this week that are quite dangerous owing to their coating of snow and ice, and while it seems almost an impossibility to clean them off, yet property owners are liable for damages to any person who is injured and brings swt. All pavements can be cleaned and kept clean if the work is done in time, as is proven by the fact that some of them are as clean of snow and ice as in sum- mer time. ——W. G. Knapper, of Philipsburg, and D. A. Kohler, of Scranton, two foresters in the employ of the Chestnut Tree Blight Association who were located in Bellefonte a month or more searching for the blight in Centre county, were on Sat- urday moved to Port Matilda to work out from that place. While working out from Bellefonte they found only one place where the blight had appeared and that was on Muncy mountain a short distance west of the Haupt farm and the disease there was in its first stages. In the moun- tainous districts that have been burned over by forest fires it is impossible to dis- tinguish the blight owing to the blackened and charred condition of the tree trunks, but at that the young men expressed their opinion that the blight had not in- fected the chestnut trees of Centre coun- ty to any appreciable extent. It is re- ported, however, that it has been dis- covered in the chestnut groves between Port Matilda and Tyrone and that is the reason the Messrs. Knapper and Kohler were moved to the former place, to in- recover 50 as to! e around again as usual. —Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. ER ———— | MILLHEIMERS OPPOSE INCREASE IN TELEPHONE RATES.—Two months ago the ‘of Pennsylvania would increase the rates in this district. At the time the writer supposed the increase would be general but it later de- veloped it was only on residence phones on four party lines. The increase natur- fonte but people of the former place are putting up a strenuous kick.

Tate: secretary, Harry J. Jackson; treasurer, John Mec- Suley; board of control, John J. Bower, Charles Anderson, Harry J. Walkey and M. C. Yeager. The fire police recommended are as follows: From the Logans—H. J. Jack- son, Harry Gerberich, George H. Knisely, Harry Kerns and John Anderson. Undines son, William Steele Jr., and John Keeler. The police will be sworn in by the burgess and will have full authority of any other officer of the law at all fires. After the business end of the meeting feed and smoker. In addition to the Logan and Undine firemen quite a num- ber of invited guests were present for the latter. FOR A GAME PRESERVE.—The State Game Commission is now agitating the establishment of three new game pre- serves in the State and Centre county is being favorably considered as a good lo- cation for one of them. The State now owns nine hundred acres of land on Nittany mountain, adjacent to the site selected for the new penitentiary, and which is wooded thickly enough to make good protection for all kinds of game. There are also hundreds of acres of state lands over on the Seven mountains, in the neighborhood of the Bear Mead- ows. which would make an ideal preserve. All state game preserves are protected by wardens the year round and no tres. are concerned. This protection naturally makes game more plentiful in the imme- diate vicinity of the preserve and it is therefore a desirable institution. If Cen. tre county is to be selected, however, it will be necessary for the citizens to show their desire and interest in a way that will impress the Commission favorably. S——— PD os — UNDINES ELECT OFFICERS. —At the last regular meeting of the Undine fire com- pany the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, P. H. Gherrity; vice president, J.

Walkey; assistant, Robert Kline; chief engineer, P. H. Gherrity; assistant, George Doll; board of control, Maurice C. Yeager.
