Tex.—Notwithstanding the soft weath
er we have an overshundanbe of ice on
our pavements in some portions of town;
but the chances for well-filled ice houses
are, we think„rather slim. H. N. Mc-
Allister, always ahead, filled his the first
freeze.
Thieves AGAIN.—On Saturday night
the 6th inst., the store of Messrs Hahn
& Wagner, in Milesburg Pa., was enter
ed by two or more thieves, who attempt
ed to blow open the safe.. They did not
succeed in getting the-safe open, and we
have not learned whether they stole any
dry-goods or other articles from the
ttore.
SEWING J Bisel & Co.,
of Lock Haven, advertises the great
American Sewing Machine. We are not.
personally acquainted with this firm; but
from the fact that they have smight out
our columns as an advertising medium,
we judge they are not only sharp, but
honest men.
W. W. Montgomery would take this
opportunity of informing the public that
he is now "selling off" his entire stock of
Furnishing Goods, at cost; suci as hats
and caps, shirts, (linen, muslin and Ilan
nel,) underclothing, socks, suspenders
and numerous otbe - r articles. He is do
ing this in order to make room for spring
and summer stock. Give him a call.
Tits Republidan at Lock Haven, refer
ring to the death of James A. Patten,
says he was killed on the Bald Eagle val
ley.road A mistake. He was killed on
the P. & E. road, a few miles above Lock
Haven, and the ignorance of the facts
professed by our contemporary is some
thing bard to account for. Patten was
killed in Clinton county, and by sheer
carelessness. .
NEW LAW FIRM.—In another column
of the Republican will be seen the pro
fessional card of Gen. W. H Blair and
H. Y. Stitzer. Blair & Stitzer, -Att)r-
Drys at-Law, Bellefcn'e Pa., can be con
sulted in either the German or English
language Both these gentlemen are men
of good habits and business tact, and, we
have no doubt will render general satis
faction to their clients. We wish them
Success
WE have received a copy of an able
speech delivered in the house of Repre
sentatives by Hon. John If. Stover, of
the Fifth Missouri District, in advocacy
of the right of Mr. Anderson, °Missou
ri, to his seat. Although the
. report of
the Committee on electionS was. against
him, we are Lappy to notice that the
House declared in favor of Andersort,and
that..upon the grounds set high in 'Col.
Stover's Argument.
TrriwartE.--We call the attention of
Our readers to the advertisement of
Messrs. Wetsler 8: Twitmire. dealers in .
tinware, stoles, spouting, lightning rode,
&c., at Milesburg, Pa. This firm is de
termined not to be undersold. They
manufacture all the tinware they sell,
and warrant it good. They say they are
determined to sell at such prices as to in
duce all the people of Centre county to
purchase from them. They are honest
and trustworthy young men. Give them
a call.
PLANING MILL —We call the attention
of our readers to the advertisement' of
Messrs. Moore & Wolf of the Milesburg
Planing Mill. We visited this mill not
long since, and was surprised to see the
fine machinery in this mill and the facili
ties of this company for turning out all
kinds of lumber for building purposes.—
Messrs. Moore & Wolf are industrious,
worthy and enterprising men, and de
serve tbe patronage of builders and oth
ers. For full.particulars see adver.
MORE bIiIIOVEMENTS.—We understand
that Messrs. Breckbill, Felty & Zimmer
man, who bought the lot opposite the
Bush Amide, formerly the residenca of
Rev. Jas. Lynn, have divided Said lot
into three, and each of the parties intend
to build next. summer. Mr. Felty has
already commenced digging out the foun
dation. It is the intention of Mr. Breck
bill to put up ,athree story brick build
ing on his lot. These improvements will
greatly beautify that portion of our town
D. G. Bush intends to build another brick
block just opposite the new Hotel build
ing of Bush & McLain, on the ground
formerly owned by Isaac Haupt. •
Bauman ELEctioN.—An election will
be held on Friday, the 19th inst. for the
purpose of electing one Judge of Elect
ion, two Inspectors, two Overseers of the
Poor, Assessor, Constable, &o. We hope
our friends will see to it, and nominate
good, true and popular men, that we may
be enabled to increase our strength, and.
feel proud of our officers when elected.
Let there be no petty spites, no heart
burnings, no envy, no jealousy. To this
end we are authorized to say that a meet
ing will be held in the Republican Read
ing Room, on Wednesday evening, the
17th inst., for the purpose of nominating
candidates to fill the various offices. Let
all make it a point to be present.

to public sale, at-the residence of David
Allison, near Spring Mills, Gregg tp., on
Wednesday, the 17th of February, five
bead of good horses, 'cows, young cattle,

and power, fanning mill, grain drill, cul
tivators, plows, corn plows, wagons,bug

en furniture, and a number of articles
too tedious to mention. Our citizens will
make money by atteuding. these sales.
HOY & CO.—We invite the attentiOn of
_our_ readers__:to " the adyertleemept.
Hoy & Co. Their restaurant is onlhe

GEM RESTAIIRANTTL-Sli. Ma of
the Gem Restaurant, in Bush & McLain's
new building near the Depot.' is hard to
beat in catering to the wants and appe
tites of his customers.-Itis a quiet,-gen
teel place. Table clothes; While asenOw,
and tables filled with every thing and
anything you may choose to order.—
Meals at all hours. See adver.
DI:OM—The young ladies who dress
ed themselves in men's apparel • and pa
raded Bishop street on Saturday evening
last, must be fond of -fun, indeed. You
are known girls; better not try it , again.
Is it not strange that 'McMahon's shoe
store was robbed the same night? We
do not say these masculine girls did it.
bIIRGLARY.—On last'Saturday night,
the boot and shoe manufactory of .Peter
McMahon was broken open . and fourteen
or fifteen pairs of boots and shoes stolen.
Mr: McMahon hire, it seems, all the bad
luck. It is but a few weeks since he lost
heavily by a fire. We hope that the rob
bers may be caught and brought to jus
tice.
CLOTHES LINE ROBBED.—On Monday
night last the clothes line . of Mr. John
Montgomery was stripped of everything
that was on it, consisting of six or eight.
new ehirts, muslins, eheets, pillow cases
&c., worth in all about $3O. These
petty larcenies, robberies and burglaries
are becoming too frequent for comfort.
or the welfare of Society. Every body
should be on the alert for them. _
GLASS Woass.—The'Tlellefonte Glass
works are now in full working trim un-'
der the management and control of Ja
cob V. Thomas, - Bro., & Co. These
works possess facilities for making good
and superior glass unequalled by any
establishment' In , the country. Under
the supervision of the above named firm,
we predict a new era in the manufacture
of gliss in this county, and abundant
success to the enterprising company.
Naw Csvncn.—The Episcopal congre
gation are making preparations to build
a new church next summer. The rot has
been secured, and we understand the
money necessary to finish the building
has all been subscribed. Its estimated
oast is $30,000. The congregation de
serve great credit for their energy in this
much needed enterprise. Some of the
members subscribed very liberally. We_
would be pleased to publish their names;
but as they have acted in this matter
upon the principle of "let not your left
hand know what your right hand doeth"
we forbear. There is nothing that_speaks
so favorably of the morals and intelli
gence of either town or country as neat
churehesstately edifices—dedicated to
the worship of Almighty Clod.
Roßnxas•—We referred last week to
a smoke. house which - Was robbed of
the meat that was in it• We have thus
far failed to learn the particulars ; but
have succeeded in ascertaining that the
smoke house referred to-belonged to-a
Mr. Stover, who lives near the Phoenix
Mills in this borough. The thieves
broke open his smokehouse and stole
therefrom the meat of six hogs leaving
not one particle for Mr. Stover• The
next . morning the meat hooks were
found along the road, where they had
been thrown by the thieves. By means of
these Leeks, rumor has it, the thieves
were traced into Patton twp., and some
of the meat recovered. We have not
learned, whether any arrests have been
made. We think there is no necessity to
go to Patton twp., to find.the theives.
If found at all they will be found much
nearer home.
CONCERT.—Misses Mary Irwin, Stella
Gallagher, Ellie Macmanus, Carrie Say
ers and Mrs, John P. Harris, with Miss.
Emily Natt as Directress, assisted by'
Drs. Kibler aad Harris, Messrs. Mont
gomery, Blanchard and Gallagher, gave
a musical entertainment in aid of the
Episcopal church, at Bush's Hall, on
Monday evening last.
The affair was a grand success in every
way, and the audience were justly de
lighted with it. No entertainment fur
nished in the Hall thepresent season has
been so well received - and appreciated by
.our citizens.
We hope that in future we may have
frequent entertainments - frotri. these _act.
complished musicians, who can do much
to make up to our people the time here
tofore lost with - traveling troupe of no
merit.
Srutua ELECTIONS.-The time appoint
ed by law for holding the Spring election
is Friday, the 19th inst. We hope the
Republicans in every township Whether
in the majority or minority will 'hold a
meeting after due notice, and place in
nomination for the different offices the
very best men you have. For School Di
rectors you should select no man unless
he is known to be a reliable and aistive
friend of - free schools andour entire-ed
ucational system. For Judge of election
an intelligent, upright, firm man should
be chosen. Nominate a full ticket in
every township. Make no cornpromiee
tickets; no. half-and-half arrangement's:
Let your motto be, no compromise with
wrong. Form a good tickef, - and,then,
politely, but earnestly,_ invite your De-
mocratic neighbors to.vote it..Hnndreds
of - them are eatisfied that they have been
humbugged by the Court House clique,
and that 'Democracy is a' sham -- and - 'a
cheat. They desire to leave the party,
and the Spring election is the best time
for them to declare their intentions.—
Encourage them all you can. Open the
door and give them a hearty Welcome.—
They see and know that the Republican
party saved the Constitution and the:
Government—that it is the friend of the
poor and humblest of our citizens—that
it is the friend of the broadest liberty
—the mainstay of the nation—the hope
of the down-trodden and oppressed of all
the earth.
Honest Democrats. fall into ranks and
march along with this great army of
prorress and liberty.

PITTSBURG - COMMERCIAL.—This most_
excellent daily paper is on our table. If
is, Without exaggeration, one of the best
daily. Tapers in-the State, and most em
phatically the leading paper of' the West..
It is as near perfection in its foteign and

with pleasure to the citizens of this county
who-may want a , firet-class daily.paper.
DITTIES OF POSTMASTERS.-MUCh trouble
would be saved if postmasters were more
generally familiar with their duttee.-- - - .
Postmasters should, remember that when
a paper remains dead in the office for
four cOniecutive Weeks, it is their duty,
to send the publisher, of the paper a writ
ten notice of the 'fact—titating, if pos
sible, the reason why the paper is not
taken. The returning to the _publisher
of a paper 'marked ' "not taken," "re
fused," or "uncalled for;,'.isnot a legal
notice.. Postmasters who fail to comply
with the law in 'this respect are • liable
for the time said papers remain dead in
their office,
MILESBURG.—We feel so thankful to
the people of Mileibarg 'for the large list
of subscribers to. the . Republican, sent us
that we would like to write something
very , preity about the town and its citi
zens. But what shall it be ? There is
no robberies, no : burglaries, no petty lar
cenies, no romantic or runaway martin:.
es, no fights, no - locals of any kind, or if
so, nobody reports-them. • We know it is
• a very decent and enterprising town,and
this accounts for the large circulation of
the Republican. The merchants are • all
doing well, selling goods exceedingly
low, so they say, aid - We - have no reason
to doubt it. Nevertheless, the people will
pais them and come to Bellefonte, occas
ionally to buy gotids. Moral—because
they do not advertise in the Republican.
THE HO.NtSTEBT MAx.—The Montrose
Republican says :."TN; ivickedeet man"
lives in New York and is named John
Allen. We are inclined to think that '•the
honestest man" lives in Lathrop, Sus
quehanna county,Pa..and is named John
Johnson. Here is a notice he sends to
the Independent Republican :
NOTICE.-I was (•burned out" about
twelve years ago, and my neighbors and
friends raised as.nbserlplion for my bene
fit, for which' fW2is and am very thank
ful. Having.. since been -prospered, I
have repaid a'l those whom I could read
ily find; but tiferenre some on the list
not yet repaid, and this.notice is to re
quest all , such'titilet me know their•pres
ent addresi; by_letter or Otherwise.
Lathrop, January 30, 1869
• We Think the above should be noticed,
as such honesty is rather a rare article
at the present tithe.
" MACK," in one of his Washington
et t ers, finds room for the following short
sermon on "judicious advertising:"
"One of the wealthiest members of the
House of Representatives is a gentleman
from Brooklyn, has made all his money
out of ratent medicines, and owes his
success to judicious and exten§ive adver
tising. It is riot many yearn since he
went to New York poor and friendless,
but be had good business habits, which
he soon made useful, and to dayi while
yet a young man, he is "vastly rich," It
will take a long time; I fear, to teach
merchants as a class: the truth which
they ought to learn from such histories
as the one referred to. Especially is this
the case in the growing West; and it is
perhaps more true of Cincinnati than
of any other city in the West. Merchants
think there that customers will come
without solicitation, cr those who do ad
vertise, do.it on a scale so small as, to be
useless. It is only once in a long while
that a man is found who properly appre
ciates thevalue of printer's ink in the
accumulation of a fortune. 'When such
a one is found, however, he alWays sew.

TANNE,RIN—We visited the.Bild Eagle
Valley Tannery, owned by Messrs. Dow
ning & Somerville, a few weeks since.—
We were surprised as Well as astonished
to see what . a building they bad erected,
and the labor-saving machinery they
have employed to aid theni in the manu

Every thing in order, and running, as
regular as clock work. Mr. It. T. Down

does great credit to our enterprising

MARRIAGE PORTION.- The marriage
portion of a young bride in olden times
was a feather bed, six.• chairs, a pain
cherry table and bureau, six cups and
saucers, half a dozen silver teaspoons,
and a lot of sand for sanding floors. Now
they expect a set of silver plate, carved
hair seat sofas, ottomans, diVinsi'tete-a
tetes, rosewood pianos, marbletop tables
for parlors, and painted furniture for
chambers; .Brussel carpets,And all other
such modern fixtures for show. •
PROFITABLE DAIRY.-Mr: Bateman
•Monioe,,_of Sullivan. last year kept a
dairy of 13 old, cows and 2 two-year-old
heifers—equal to 15 head. From the
milk of theSe cows he made $lO4O worth
of butter for market, and from the but
termilk realized, in calves and pork,
$125.
.Total $1174 or - $7B 48: to eacih
cow, counting the heifers as cows of full
growth.
We do not know how this looks to other
people, but to us it fooks as if Air. Mun
roe kept no deadheads in his dairy last
year, and managed it with great skill.—
We call thattinieSting money at 6 per

for 1868 we are ready to help him before

A DASTARDLY ACT—Attempt to Fire the
Home for Friendless Children.—The Lan
caster Express says : One of the most
cowardly and dastardly acts ever perpe:
trated in this city, was committed at. the .
Home for Friendless Children last even
ing. About eight o'clock some - one - en
tered the front - door and proceeded to the
front sitting room, deposited in the cen
tre of the floor a ball of rags saturated
with coal oil or some other inflammable
liquid, and set, fire to it. The matron,
Miss Spence, , immediately afterward en :
tered the room, just in time to gather up
the blazing ball and cast it into the stove.
The carpet was burned through and' the
floor slightly charred. But for the time
ly arrival of the Matron, fearful ca
lamity would probably have ensued.—•
children, of whom there are about two
hundred in the institution, had nearly
all retired to bed, and many were sound
asleep. The act was the work of a grown
person, at least one who.wore large shoes,
as the - prints of the shoes in the snow in .
front of the door were plainly visible last
evening. • The person after setting fire
to the ball retired to the outside of the
building, and went to the front windOw
to watch the progress of his infernal work
This was evident from the foot-prints in
the snow. We hope that no effort will be
spared to bring the miscreant to justice.
No punishment could be too severe for
such a wretch. .
THE ' • Mifflin & Centre R. R. doesn't
promise to run into our valley So soon
yet. At. a meeting : of the Snowshoe Co ,
with the :Penna. dt, R. Co's officers,. in
Philadelphia it r ferw . ,dayS age,fiiiihe pur
pose of perfecting-arrangement:sl'ov the
construction of this much desired, road,
the : parties seperated without being able
o agree
Anew movement is now talked - of by
the SnoWshoe Co., which is the continu
ation of their road eastward through
Penn's Valley to Penn's.creek, following
that stream, anti intersecting with the
roai now being built in Snyder county.
This would suit our whole valley, and in
case it is undertaken, our citizens may
expect to be called upon for liberal sub
scriptions.—Cenlre Hall Reporlet.
We do not know what point of inter
section is here alluded to, but we think
our Centre county friends will find amore
natural outlet through Union county. A
bridge has been constructed at Lewis
burg and the track will be completed to
Montandon in the Spring. The citizens
of the upper end of Union county will
aid liberally in the extension of the road
westward, and if a common effOrt,in•con
nection with the . Snowshoe Company
were made, we believe the road could be
extended the entire distance from Lewis
burg to Bellefonte. Let there be an ef
fort made in this direction.—Telegraph,
Mifflinburg, Pa. •
So we say. Let there be , -a strong,
united effort made in this direction. It
takes money as well as effort to build
railroads. Heretofore our Pennsvalley
and Union county farmers have acted as
though they thought the road would build
itself, or that the Snowslfoe Railroad Co;
would build it finally, without.thezid of
the farthers. We astnite• these fariziers,
however, that the Snowshoe Co. will do
no such thing. We are anxious to have.
a Railroad from Bellefonte to Milroy; or
to Lewisburg We confess we would pre
fer making the road from Belle - fate to
Lewisburg. This would - benefit both
Penns valley and Brush valley, and all
of Union county. That this is .true, no
one can doubt. : Why is it, then, that our .
farmers in those beautiful and fertile val
leys are so 81°7 to move and so indiffer
ent as to the final consummation of this
great enterprise?
Jo this o
If this Railroad :were 'built it would
.enbanosthe value of land at least at pay
utper cent.' : ' Of this :there can be no doubt.
Land in.thoee Valleys now worth from
$6O t $BO per acre; would then be worth
from $BO to $1 20. -
Take Bald .Eagle valley, for instance,
before the Tyrone & Lock Haven
road was There wereliindreds of
acres lyink between this - place and Tyi

'high. - as $lOO. - Bo it would be in Penns
valley - only to a gieater:extblit, because

Penn'a Mutual Horse Thief Detecting And
Insurance Co.— • '
YORK, PA., SEF.TEMBER 15th, 1868
EX!
DEAR SIR :—ln consideration of the failure
of the Hartford Live Stock•lnsufance- Com
pany, and of others that have preceded it,
the Directors of this" Company deem it pru
dent to exercise additional care and caution
in transacting the Company's business.
With this end in view, we have revised and
amended the Tables of Ratei heretofore used,
and have ruled out,,as uninsurable, some of
the more hazardous classes of stock.
A copy of the revised hies is herewith en
closed, and which you will hereafter follow.
Agents are requested, to make •special ef
forts to secure insurance on farm and pri
vate family horses, (making, this, as far as
possible, a FARMERS' COMPANY,) and
guard vigilently against insurance on un
sound or diseased animals, as well as against
insurance based on fancy ratites or 'on fancy
stocks.
By strictly adhering to the rules and regu
lations of the Company; it is confidently be
lieved that the business of Live Stock insur
ance may be successfully pro-muted.
P. 8----The above Company is the•only
reliable one, taking insurance on buries . or
mules, in the country at the present time.
ISAAC HAUPT, Agent.
Sub Agents wanted.
