——Bellefonte friends of John A. Wil-
liams, of Port Matilda, will sympathize
with him in the destruction of his home
by fire last Saturday evening. Mr. Wil-
liams ‘was away from home and Mrs.
Williams and her five children were all
at a bazaar in Port Matilda when the fire
broke out. It started on the outside of
the house at the foundation, and soon
ate its way to the roof between the
weather boarding and the plastering.
Most of the furniture was gotten out of
the building but when the fire was over
lots of it had disappeared. The very na-
ture of the origin of the fire looks as if it
had been the work of an incendiary. Mr.
Williams carried insurance on his prop-
erty, but the loss was greater than the
amount of the insurance.

—On Friday evening Thomas Weber,
of State College, accompanied by a lady
friend, started on a motor trip to Pine
Grove Mills. About a mile from the Col-
lege, on a sharp reverse curve Mr. Weber
lost control of the car with the result
that it was ditched and turned turtle.
He was not only pinned under the car
but one of the broken bows of the top
ran through the fleshy part of his right |
leg and hip so that it was necessary to
saw the broken bow in two before he
could be released. After the accident
the young lady, who was comparatively
uninjured, managed to crawl from be-
neath the car and went to the nearest
house where she telephoned for a doctor
and other assistance. It took some time,
however, to rescue Weber from his pre-
carious position, but when released, the
broken bow extracted from his leg and
first aid rendered he was taken home.
While he will be housed up for some time
no serious consequences are antici-
pated.

ation these days to his less fortunate
brethren, hence it is truly refreshing to.
hear of an act of human kindness, es-
pecially so near the holiday season. And
the reason for this item is that on Mon-
day morning William Doak, the deaf and
blind man who helps to support himself
by selling lead pencils, shoe strings, etc.,
on the street, brought to this office a
note, penciled in his own handwriting, in
which he told of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Thal butchering their fat porkers on De-
cember first and making a feast day of
the event by entertaining about thirty-
five of their friends at a big dinner. And
always being very kind to Mr. Deak
they invited him to share the dinner.
Mrs. Thal met him at the door and tak-
ing his arm led him to one of the best
seats in the dining room, while his wants
were carefully looked after by Mrs. Ma-
ry Beezer and Mrs. Catharine Beezer,
who saw to it that his plate was never
empty until Billy’s appetite was entirely
satisfied. That he appreciated their
kindness is evidenced by the fact that
he has in this way made public acknowl-
edgement of the same.
