CENTRE COUNTIANS PICNIC. — The eleventh annual picnic of the Centre County Association of Philadelphia was held at Belmont Mansion, Fairmount Park, Saturday, June 27th, 1614. The general picnic committee, in order to make the affair a success, spent much time in preparation. The officers were all there with their usual smiles and bright countenances. The response to the invitations was the most liberal in the history of the as: sociation, but the inclemency of the weather kept many home who had in- tended being among the present ones. Many were there for the first time and were very well pleased and expressed their intention of being at future gather- ings. The good wives of the men pro- vided, to an ample extent, for the “de- partment of the interior” of all those present. coffee served by the ladies committee during the supper. The prayer at the beginning of the supper was made by Rev. W. R. Whitney. An alphabetical list of all members of the association, compiled by the secretary, Dr. J.C. C. Beale, was given out. It is hoped it will bring about a closer relationship between the members. The speeches were omit- ted from the program due to the rain, aside from which the picnic was a suc- cess and everybody had a good time, from the little ones up to the older ones. The principal speaker, Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, was unable to be present, due to the illness of his wife. Two Houses BURNED.—Two families were burned out of house and home the past week. The first was that of Cyrus Bowman, a Civil war veteran, whose home in Blanchard was completely de- stroyed by fire with all its contents. Mr. Bowman, who is a widower, was away trom home at the time and when discov- ered the fire had gained such headway it was impossible to save anything. When Mr. Bowman arrived at the scene of his burning home it was with difficulty that he was restrained from rushing into the burning building. So far as could be learned he had no insurance. The second fire occurred on Tuesday and was that of the home of Wm. Lutz, near the Meyers cemetery, in Buffalo Run valley. It was also entirely destroy- ed with most of its contents. Whether Mr. Lutz had any insurance could not be learned. The origin of both fires is unknown. DROWNED AT FAIRBROOK COUNTRY CLUB.—On Saturday of last week Henry W. Shoemaker, president of the Altoona Tribune company, entertained the 7T7:- bune employees with an outing at the Fairbrook Country club at Pennsylvania Furnace.

The sabres and revolvers have not yet been received but they are expected in a few days. All the members of the company from the captain down are now taking riding lessons on moonlight nights, so that when the time comes to go to camp the last of this month they will be able to stay on their horses.

Brown will be compelled to hire horses for the encampment, but it is likely that arrangements will later be made to pur- chase ten or a dozen horses and keep them for the company’s use. ) meer, QQ) renee ——Have your Job Work done here , exercises.
