The deer season ended on Wednes-
day and although there was no snow
this year to enable hunters to follow
the trail the slaughter of the fleet-
footed bucks was at least equal to
that of last year, and will very likely
exceed it. Detailed reports of the
hunt published in last week’s paper
aggregated 188 deer and 4 bear and
additional reports received will run
the total of deer to more than two
hundred. Just what the correct fig-
ures will show will probably not be
known for several weeks, but the
Game Commission has hopes of tabu-
lating the exact number of deer killed
in the entire State, and will be able
to do so, if each hunter makes the
proper return.
Attached to each hunter's license
this year is a blank upon which he is
required to give a report of game kill-
ed. All hunters are requested to fill
in this blank and send same to the
Game Commission by December 16th,
or as soon thereafter as possible.
While there is no penalty attached for
failure to return the blank properly
filled out, any hunter failing to do so
might run up against a perplexing sit-
cense next year.
Six deer were brought into Belie-
fonte on Saturday, three by the Thal
and Shuey party, who hunted in the !
the |
Seven mountains, and three by
Ben Gentzel party from the Big Run
region in the Alleghenies.
“ The Bierly’s, of Milesburg, got
two deer.
The Zimmermans of Nittany valley,
got six.
The Pleasant Gap hunters four.
The Pine Grove Rod and Gun club
two. '
The Modock club got two deer.
The Charter Oak club located on the
third mountain got the limit, six.
It will doubtless be interesting to
“Watchman” readers to know who
were some of the fortunate shots and
we append the following from the
western end of the county as furnish-
ed by our Pine Grove Mills corres-
pondent:
The Rossman—Sunday party, six
ger, A. L. Bowersox, William Ross-
man, Fred Rossman, J. B. Robinson
and Alf. Albright.
The Kepler—Krebs club two, shot
by Clyde Smith and William H. Mil-
er.
Tha Dreiblebis party one, shot by
J. C. Colpetzer.
The Hollidaysburg party two, killed
by J. C. Brenner and C. B. Metzger.
The Corl—Musser party two, shot
by O. A. Corl and H. N. Musser.
The Tigers six, killed by Ed S. Erb,
Walter Hosterman, Ed Moore, John
Houser, J. C. Holmes and John C.
Homan, the latter being one of the
test, bucks killed this seasoms =
The Fleetfoot party six, shot by N.
Israel Reitz, Riggs Mingle and Geo.
Baker.
The Goss club one, bagged by G. O.
Krumrine.
The Rudy party one, shot by Ray-
mond Rudy.
Day hunters who killed deer in that
section were Ed Martz, Fred Gear-
hart, Clarence Lemon, Clyde Fish-
burn and Paul Ward.
The two killed by the Pine Grove
Rod and Gun club were by Frank
Smith and William Miller.
The last deer killed in the western
end of the county was on Wednesday
by Elisha Shoemaker, who brought it
in yesterday morning.
On the last day of the season Har-
old Fisher and Herbert Isenberg, of
Boalsburg, went up on the mountain
south of that town, killed a nice buck
and were back home in time for din-
ner. The feat is remarkable because
of the fact that both hunters are only
school boys.
Skeleton Found in Rush Township.
Residents of Rush township are
considerably excited over the finding
of a human skeleton on what is known
as Sand Flat, about three miles irom
Sandy Ridge. The skeleton was dis-
covered last Thursday by Mike Banas,
of Clearfield county, while hunting in
that locality. Dr. W. R. Heaton, of
Philipsburg, coroner of Centre county,
was notified and made an investiga-
tion. The skeleton was almost buried
beneath leaves and other debris but
after being uncovered a bullet hole in
the skull bone and a 38 calibre revol-
ver lying nearby indicated that it was
a case of suicide. From the condition
of the skeleton it might have lain
there many years, or as few as half a
dozen, but the big mystery is, who
was the man, as no one is able to re-
call any mysterious disappearance in
recent years. ‘

The notice concerning Mrs.
Satterfield’s parrot, published in the
“Watchman” several weeks ago, has
brought comment from all over the
country, the most interesting perhaps,
being that from a friend in Philadel-
phia, who, owning a young bird her-
self, that was rescued from a torpe-
doed vessel coming to America from
Gibraltar during the war, gives the in-
teresting information that she had
been to all the leading bird dealers of
the city, and none credited the story
of a parrot laying eggs in this climate,
as it had never been known. Mrs.
Satterfield’s Polly is an unusually
handsome African gray, is both a
good talker and imitator and was
brought to the States from the Made-
ria Islands, on the school ship Adams,
by Capt. George Runkle, in 1902, be-
ing presented to its present owner at
that time.

Midnight Christmas Service.
One of the religious observances of
| Christmastide in Bellefonte which has
| grown rapidly in favor since its intro-
duction several years ago, is the beau-
| tiful Midnight Mass in St. John’s
| Episcopal church on Christmas Eve.
‘It is from this service, the “Christ-
| Mass,”—since very early times offer-
ied to God at the traditional hour of
the Saviour’s birth, at the very begin-
! ning of the day itself,—that the fes-
| tival of the Nativity takes its name in
{our English tongue,—*“Christmas
day.” The church will be decorated
| according to christian custom, with
evergreens and lighted entirely by
candle-light. The music will include
not only the great anthems of the
| Liturgy but also old familiar hymns
and some of the quaintest carols
| which the childlike devotion of the
{ past has bequeathed to us. This serv-
ice furnishes us an opportunity of
i worshipping at the Crib of Bethlehem
before other distractions intervene.
| The hour is 11.45 p.m. on Friday,
{ December 24th, and the public is cor-
_dially invited. . ty

er and Joseph Emerick met on Mon-
day of this week for their annual job
of filling the jury wheel with the
, names of four hundred good and law-
ful citizens of the county from
, Which to draw the various panels of
jurors to serve during the year 1921.
While no definite instructions were
given by the court the commissioners
, will make up their list from men only,
which naturally means that no names
of Centre county women will be put
(in the wheel, and they will therefore
be exempt from jury service for
i another year at least. Mrs. Donald
' Potter is acting as clerk for the jury
commissioners.
. Celebrated His Ninetieth Birthday
Anniversary.
On Wednesday Joel Johnson was
ninety years old. The very unusual
event was celebrated by a gathering
of all his sons, daughters, grand and
great-grand children at the home of
his son, Milton R. Johnson, on Spring
street, on Tuesday evening. The
nonagenarian was in fine spirits and
health to receive the felicitations of
his kin and other friends who assem-
bled to spend the evening with him.
Friends from a distance who were
there were Mr. and Mrs. Bert Mal-
lory, of Altoona; Mr. and Mrs.
Claude Johnson, of State College, and
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dunkle and their
daughter, of Parvin.

Moeslein—Undercoffer.—In antici-
pation of her supposed wedding to be
twenty of her fellow employees ten-
dered Miss Esther Undercoffer a
shower at the home of Miss Mary Wi-
on on Monday night and as a fitting
acknowledgment the supposed Miss
Undercoffer invited them all to the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Undercoffer, for a little party
on Tuesday night. After the guests
were all seated Mr. Undercoffer made
the rounds and presented to each one
a flower, except Miss Haupt. To her
he gave a folded paper.
Opening the paper Miss Haupt dis-
covered it to be a marriage certificate
which testified to the fact that Clara
Esther Undercoffer, of Bellefonte,
Pa., and Edward B. Moeslein, of Har-
risburg, Pa., had been married in
Cumberland, Md., on June 7th, six
months ago. Of course congratula-
tions were showered upon the young
bride, even though she had so success-
fully kept her marriage a secret,
leaving all her friends under the sup-
. position that it was to take place dur-
ing the Christmas season.
The bride, who has been one of the
efficient operators in the Bell tele-
phone exchange, tendered her resig-
i: Service, _4i.+ . nation on November 15th, the same
taking effect the first of this month.
The bridegroom is a graduate of State
College class of 1920, in the electrical
engineering course and is now in the
employ of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Co., at Brooklyn, N.
Y. His grandfather was one of the
presidential electors on the Democrat-
ic ticket in this State. He will come
to Bellefonte for Christmas and upon
his return to Brooklyn will be accom-
panied by his wife.
The Christmas party at the Under-
coffer home will also include Mr. and
Mrs. William Undercoffer and two
children, of Pittsburgh.
Sunday—Smith.—Paul Sunday and
Miss Elizabeth Smith, two well known
{ young people of Ferguson township,
| were united in marriage at the par-
sonage of the Lutheran church in Pine
Grove Mills on Wednesday morning,
. by the pastor, Rev. A. M. Lutton.
' Following congratulations the young
' couple left on a trip west to visit the
_bride’s mother, Mrs. Smith. The
bride has made her home with the A.
S. Walker family since childhood and
is a splendid young woman. The
bridegroom is the son of Mrs. Marga-
‘ret Sunday and a hustling and ener-
| getic young man. During the past
three years he has assisted in the
management of his mother’s farm in
west Ferguson township and will
probably continue in that capacity.
Both young people have many friends
i who extend sincere congratulations.
|
Bowen—Landis.—Harold Bowen, of
, Warren, Pa.,, but who is taking a
course at State College, and Miss Ha-
zel Landis, a daughter of Mrs. Albert
Landis, of Bellefonte, were married
in Altoona on Saturday afternoon by
Rev. James B. Stein, of the Methodist
church. The bride expects to remain
at home until after the Holidays, at
least.

College, by Miss Ethel Peters; Millheim,
by Miss Irene Watkins, and Spring Mills,
by Miss Condo.
—Calvin Riley, of DBoalsburg. was a
pleasant caller at the “Watchman” office
vesterday, and was feeling pretty good over
the fact that the Riley hunting club got
three deer on their annual hunt in the
Bear Meadows. Mr. Riley, by the way, is
the only one of that name left to perpetu-
ate the club but from the looks of him he
is good for another twenty or twenty-five
years, at least.
—John Waite is spending a ten day's
vacation in Bellefonte with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. George Waite. Since leaving

running from Altoona to Pittsburgh. One
day of his time was spent with Dr. Yo-
cum, at Woolrich, who was his pastor dur-

Wilcox, by the way, was engaged in news-
paper work years ago but ieft that for
other business and now is making real
money. - -
—The “Watchman” office was favored on

Sunday, of Ferguson township, and her
daughter, Miss Rose E. Sunday, of Akron,
Ohio, who with Mrs. Sunday’s son Paul

Christmas shopping. Miss Rose, who has
a good position in Akron, is home on a
seventeen day's vacation, which means that
she will be able to spend Christmas with
her mother and family.
—M. D. Kelley, the well known operator,
who has been such. a fixture in Snow Shoe
in years past that the very name was syn-
onomous with all the big doin’s in that
comfortable little town way up on the Al-
leghenies, has moved to Altoona and taken
up his residence at 264 Broad avenue. The
Kelley Bros. have become one of the big-
gest coal companies in Central Pennsylva-
nia, with mines at Snow Shoe, Karthaus,
Houtzdale, Cherry Run and Cato Glenn,
and Mr. Kelley doubtless felt it a good
business move to go to Altoona, but we'll
venture the assertion that he will frequent-
ly yearn for a good whiff of that pure
mountain air and an old-time evening with
his many friends in the old home town.
—Mrs. August Glinz has returned to her
{ home at the Garman House, very much im-
proved in health by her long stay at At-
lantie City.
—Miss Irene Snyder returned to her

fonte a week ago, after spending a month
visiting at her former home in Aarons-
burg, and with friends in that vicinity.

P. R. R. baggage room, has been visiting
with friends in Philadelphia this week, and
incidentally making some preparations for
Christmas.
—Theodore Kelly is again in Bellefonte,
looking physically fit and with all his for-
mer vigor. Theodore is only now recov-
ering from the effects of a severe attack of
influenza over a year ago.
—Mrs. J. F. Garthoff went to Lock Ha-
ven yesterday for a visit of several days
with her cousin, Mrs. Klise, and with Mr.
Garthoff's brother, James Garthoff. Mr.
Garthoff will join her there tomorrow.
—Miss Florence Parrish, of Ebensburg,
is a guest of her brother, C. M. Parrish
and his family. Miss Parrish came to
Bellefonte a week ago to spend the re-
mainder of the winter with her brother.
—Mrs. Odillie Mott and her son Basil J.
F. Mott, went to Yonkers, N. Y., this week,
called there by the death of Mrs. Mott's
only grand-son, the youngest child of Mr.
and Mrs. A. G. MacMillan. The funeral
was held yesterday, interment being made
at Yonkers.
—Quite an unusual party of visitors in
Bellefonte yesterday were a quartet of Ar-
neys from Centre Hall. There was great
grand-father, grand father, father and son,
all living under the same roof on the Ar-
ney farm just outside of the metropolis of
Potter township. The venerable J. J. Ar-
ney is 82, his son I. M., is 53, the latter's
son, J. Bruce, is 30 and his son, Ralph M.,
is just 3 months old. Four generations of
male members of one family is unusual.
They came over yesterday to have a group
photograph made; something which each
of them will cherish highly.
On a certain day within the
past two weeks a man walked into the
office of N. N. Miller,.in Tyrone, treas-
urer for the Methodist Home for the
Aged, and placing two $5,000 Liberty
bonds of the 4% per cent. issue on his
desk as a gift to the Home, quietly
turned around and walked out. The
man is a prominent layman in the
church and his gift will materially
help in bearing the expense of the ex-
tensive addition, with all modern im-
provements, now being made to the
Home, which was originally the S. S.
Blair property. The total cost of the
work being done will be about ninety
thousand dollars, and will make ac-
commodations for forty guests at the
Home.
The “Watchman” editor is in-
debted to our Pine Grove Mills corres-
pondent, Capt. W. H. Fry, for a nice
mess of venison, it being a portion
served out by the members of the Pine
Grove Rod and Gun club. They came
home on Saturday with two nice
bucks, one brought to earth by Ham-
ill Glenn and the other by Mr. Bailey.
They saw quite a number more deer
but the majority of them were does
and of course they had to let them go.
Just the same we appreciated the
mess of venison sent us by Capt. Fry
and are under obligations to him as
well as the hunters who supplied the
deer meat.
