A few weeks since the pastor of the | Presbyterian church preached a series of | sermons which attracted some attention. The experiment proved so satisfactory | ! that Dr. Hawes has planned another brief | set of connected sermons. These will | begin this coming Sabbath night, and the | subject of the firstone is, “Is Any- | thing Wrong with the Average Person?” | This will be followed by one February 2nd, on the subject, “What if He Permits | This to Go On!” And February 9th, the | subject will be, “Is There a Cure?” These | sermons will be preached at the evening services. The public is most cordially | invited to hear them. 350TH ANNIVERSARY SERVICES. Last Sunday morning anniversary serv- ices were held in St. John's Reformed church, Bellefonte, commemorative of the adoption of the Heidelberg catechism | as the confession of faith of Reform- | ed church. The Heidelberg catechism was formerly adopted January 19th, 1563, under the approval of Frederick Elector III, of the Palatinate, Germany. An in- teresting historical jubilee service was used by the congregation and Sunday school at the 11 o'clock morning service. At the same service Elders C. T. Gerber- ich, A Lukenbch and Charles Wetzel, together with Deacons Harry Keller, C. Y. Wagner, Clayton Royer and J. Henry Wetzel were ordained and installed in | their respective offices. Next Sunday | morning at1l o'clock the pastor, Rev. Dr. A. M. Schmidt, expects to deliver an | historical address on the Reformation, Zwingli and the catechism. At the an- nual congregational meeting held Janu- | ary 15th, the reports showed the re- | ceipts for the year, from all sources to be $3,447.34; with all bills for the year | paid, except a balance on cost of the new | roof recently placed on the church.

Saturday forenoon the mercury stood at 51 de- grees and it seemed like spring, then between two and three o'clock in the afternoon one of the worst thunder storms passed over these parts that we have had for some time, as it uprooted trees and threw down out-buildings, and unroof- ed several barns, The long contested will case of the late S.

Harry Allison, of Allison's flouring mill, made a business trip to Bellefonte last week. Last week Charles Wert moved his family and Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather Ash Davis, cartoonist, had quite a large and delighted audience at the grange hall on This time last year nearly all our ice houses were about filled. This year, so far they haven't apound, but then we'll likely have some cold weather yet, and possibly plenty of ice, too. ‘There will be considerzble changing of head- quarters in our town on moving day, and fortu, nately there is no scarcity of dwellings. Two or three families contemplate leaving for other pasts of the county. The continued remarkable and spring-like weather is beginning to tell on the trees and bushes, and in some places the grass is decidedly green. Farmers are becoming fearful that their fruit trees are advancing too rapidly, and might be caught in a killing frost. The road between town and Penn Hall (possi- bly % of a mile) has never been‘in such ade plorable condition as it is, and has been, for the last ten days. Itis a job for a team to drive through. The walk along the road is just as bad if not worse,than the road itself. Pedestrianism is out of the question, unless through mud almost knee deep, sticking fast, losing rubbers—and in fact boots and shoes are half pulled off in en- deavoring to move along. If absolutely neces- sary to go in either direction, the party must take to the high hill fields on the north, and even there the walking is very little better. Could not the supervisors improve this wretched condition of the road? They are obliged to open the “Kings Highway” when blocked with snow, why not | It Took Place at Bride’s Country Home| at Tarrytown In a Beautiful Setting. Miss Helen Miller Gould, who Is worth $40,000,000, was married at | Lyndhurst, her country estate at Tar rytown, N. Y., to Finley Johnson Shep- ard, an American railroad man, who has risen from the ranks. The marriage culminates what those who profess to know say it a real and beautiiul love romance. Both are forty- four years old. They will stay at Lynd- hurst for several days. No wedding trip intention has been made public. The bride went to an altar half hid- den by roses, asparagus formosa and palms, upon the arm of her brother, George J. Gould, who gave her in mar- riage. An orchestra screened by mass- es of flowers in the music room played | the Lohengrin Wedding March, while ! Rev. Daniel D. Russell, pastor of the Irvington Presbyterian formed the ceremony. Helen and Dorothy Gould, nieces of Miss Gould, stood with her. Garbed in pale pink satin, they acted as flower girls and were her only attendants. Louis J. Shepard, brother of the bride. groom, was best man. The couple stood during the cere- mony beneath a bower of American Beauty roses, with festoons of gray- white asparagus reaching almost to the ground. The bride carried a modest bouquet of Lilies of the Valley, her favorite flower. The ceremony was over in six min- church, per- | utes and then the bride and bride groom were congratulated by the guests, while about forty reporters, photographers and a couple of moving picture men tried to get a glimpse of what was going on inside. Immediately after the ceremony and the congratulations of the guests Mr. | and Mrs. Shepard led the way to the north end of the house, where refresh- ments were served. The bride and bridegroom came to the window and smiled and bowed to the news gather- ers on the outside. Then they seated themselves near the window and the wedding breakfast began. From time to time various ones of the guests chatted with the bridal pair. One of the first acts of the newly- married pair was to send a telegram of greeting to Mr. Shepard's invalid mother at the New Haven hospital. It contained thanks for her blessing, which reached them immediately after the ceremony and expressed deep re- gret that the elder Mrs. Shepard was unable to be present. A rope of exquisite pearls, said to have once adorned the Empress Jose- phine, Napoleon's wife, and a pear- shaped diamond pendant, the latter the bridegroom’s gift, were the only jew- elry worn by the bride. The pearls were a bequest from Miss Gould's mother. Less than 100 persons were bidden to the ceremony. They included close relatives of the bride and the bride- groom and friends of long standing. The hundreds of handsome wedding gifts, which amount in value to a good sized fortune, were di:played in the art gallery on the sccond floor aud were guarded by def.ctives. They came from all over the world. Chief among these were presents from the relatives of the bride and her friends; from the army, the navy, the railroad organizations aided by her, the Young Men's Christian associati'n, from officers of the Gould railroads, and from the employes at Miss Gould's country and city homes. One of the earliest gifts to reach Lyndhurst was a silver dish from 25% girls in Miss Gould's sewing class with an appropriate inscription. Each gir contributed ten cents toward the pres: ent. 889,500,000 Parcel Post Stamps Printed The total number of parcel post stamps printed and distributedto date is 339,500,000.

Boy Shoots Man Defending Mother, | Seventecn-yearold George Smith’ rushed to the defense of his motle: when she called for help and shot an! | almost instantly killed John Betts in Milford, Del, who was choking and | beating Mrs. ‘Smith, The tragedy occurred in the ietts | home, near Marshall's mill, on the 8 sex county side of the town. Be Smith has been the housekeeper o. Betts for several years. It is alleged that Betts in recent years has been abusive to the woman in many ways and of late, she says, the abuse ha: grown almost unbearable, resulting in blows, kicks and curses. It was during one of these abusive turns that Mrs. Smith, believing he: life in jeopardy, Betts having knocked her down and choked her, called foi help. Her cries were heard by her seven teen-year-old son, George, who rush « into the room in time to see his moth: lying on the floor and at the mercy 0! Betts. When the young "aan entered th room Betts released his hold on th. woman and made for young Smit! with a chair, raised as if to strike hi The lad, realizing the danger he and his mother both were in, picked up » revolver lying on a table in the room | and and fired at Betts, the shot mortall: wounding the man, from which he soon died. Checked Hed Dead Baby. A satchel containing the body of © child several weeks old was discover: in the parcel room at Broad street sta tion in Philadelphia. The satchel was checked at the place eight days ago by a well dressed, middle aged woman. The coroner is in vestigating. The discovery of the contents of th: satchel resulted from an effort of tic employes in the parcel room to locat- the cause of a peculiar odor, notice able for several days. The suit cazes satchels and parcels were all exam ined carefully, and the trail led to that one uncalled for since Jan. 13. The satchel was pried open and th: body of an infant, dressed In white baby clothes, was discovered. Ther: were no marks of identification found One of the employes remembered hav ing received the parcel from a woman who had appeared nervous and ex cited. Allens Granted Respite.
