SOLDIER'S REITEIOI4.-A reunion of
the soldiers of Centre county, in com
memoration of the Fourth of July, was
held in this Borough, on Saturday, July
3d.
The exercises in the afternoon, at the
Court House, were opened 'by Capt. A.
B. Hutchison, Chairman of the Commit
tee of Arrangement, who called the as
sembly to order, and announced the fol
lowing officers of the meeting :—Presi
dent, Gen. W. H. Blair; Vice-Presidents,
Cyrus Strickland, Capt. M. Runkle, Col.
Geo. A. Bayard, Israel J. Grenoble,
Col. C. L. Greene, J. C. Batbgale, Col.
R. McFarlane and James I. McClaskey;
Secretaries, Capt Isaac Lytle and Jacob
Zimmerman.
Gen. Blair, upon assuming the chair,
addressed the assembly in eloquent and
`fintifoli'd`ternis;'alluding, especially, to
the grand record made by the officers
and soldiers of centre county, who had,
in proportion to the population of the
county, been more numerous than in any
other locality, and who had formed por
tions of the most efficient and most dis
tinguished of the regiments of the State.
He referred to the fact that no volunteer
officer of our county had been senthome
in disgrace, and that our soldiers bad
honorable part in every campaign and
battle of the war for the Union, in forci
ble and fitting terms. He paid a deserv
ed compliment to . the great,' Was Govern
or, whose influence and example had
contributed so much to this grand record,
(Ind .. closed his addrent amidst the itp- .
planet of the audience. •• •
An overture by the Bellefonte Brass
B6 . ad was then very creditably pereorm
ed.. ' . :
•. A prayer, appropriate to the occasion,
eras offered by Rev. 13. McGann, pastor
of the Protestant Episcopal church.
• The Philharmonic Society then sang
"The gianeckerlis, "0, hail us ye Free,"
in so excellent a Style. RE to "win the
plandifs of the house. •
The beclara.tion of Independence was
read, in unusually good style, by Capt.
Jas. P. Smith, of Millheim, late of the
49th Pa.`ro"Pis. • • • :
At the close of the reading, the -Phil
harmonic .-Society sang. the "Star Span
glcd ,Banner," Mr. B. M. Blanchard as
solo, with the society joining in chorus:
An agree that they never heard the 'Na
tional Anthere. so Well sung.
After music by the Bellefonte Brass
Band, Gen. .Blair announced that the
orator of the day, Gen. liarry White,was
prevented, by unavoidable circumstan
ces, from fulfilling his appointment as
orator of the day, and introduced Capt.
A. B. Hutchison. who had been selected
by the committee to take his place.
Capt. Hutchison proceeded to address
: the audience present, in a speech of less
than hall an hour's duration. which was
very warmly applauded by his audience.
It was entirely appropriate to the occas
ion, and pronounced by all, an unusuel
ly happy effort. As it was prepared
within a few"hOurs, and entirely extem
pore, it was a remarkable and gratify
ing success.
The song, "B Pluribus Unum," was
not given, as a sudden illness of a lady
called away some of the members of the
Philharmonic Society, but the audience
were entertained by the Bellefonte Band,
and the meeting adjourned to re-assemble
at the banquet in the evening.
The banquet at the Brockerhoff House
came off, according to the Programme,at
8 o'clock, p. m. A delay of some min
uteswas experienced, in consequence of
the failure of the gaslights, caused by
the shock of a bolt of lightning which
struck the flagstaff on the Reynolds
Bank building, just opposite the Brook
erheff. A wire leading to the Garman
House, put up for the purpose of
strengthening the flagstaff, carried off
the current of electricity, and saved the
building from damage.
Gen. Blair took the chair at the tables,
and, first in order, the company proceed
ed to dispose of a most excellent supper,
provided by the Proprietors of the Brock
erhoff. All agreed that, as a triumph of
the culinary art, this banquet surpassed
all others in the history of Bellefonte.—
After the eatables were disposed of,
Messrs. Blanchard, Harris, Fabler and
Gallagher entertained the . company by
singing the familiar and appropriate
song, "We've drank from the same Can
teen.". .
Regular toasts being then in order,
and most excellent champagne on the
tables, the Chairman announced the first
toast, 'The President of the United
Stated," calling upon Capt. Jas. P.Smith
to-respond. Capt. Smith replied in a
brief, appropriate and eloquent speech,
deserving and winning the applause and
congratulations of all the company.
Then, after a song by our musical
friends before named, the Chairman an
nounced the next toast, " The Soldiers of
Centre county," calling upon Gen.Bever
to reply. 04n. Beaver responded in a
most eloquent., 'entertaining and appro
priate speech, facetiously declaring,
however, that the Chairman had stolen
his thunder in the afternoen. He ap
paved. to have plenty left, however, and
paid an appropriate tribute to his cora
pautons.in arms.
The third regular toast,'The Signers
of the Declaration," was responded to
by Jno. 0, Love, Esq., in an able effort,
and one as remarkable for its'fOree and
eleganCe. as for its conciseness and pol
ish. He was loudly cheered. -
The next regular toast, "The Veteran
Reserve Corps,".being- given, the Chair
man called upon Lt. Barr to respond,
who, declining, offered W. W." Brown as
his substitute, who happily replied to
the sentiment, giving , a graphic descrip
tion of the services of the Reserve corps.
Capt. Isaac Lytle responded to the
next regular toast, "The Christian and
Sanitary Commissions," in a very brief
but appropriate speech, and elicited
hearty applause.
After another song, the sixth toast was
given, "The Ladies," to reply to which,
the Chairman called upon Capt. Chas.
H. Hale, who met the demand in excel
lent style. In fact, Captain Hale sur
passed himself on his favorite theme,and
was warmly congratulated upon his very
gratifying success in that most difficult
task, complimenting our lady friends as
they deserved.
After more singing, volunteer toasts
'were in order, and several were offered
and responded to very happily. Mr. H.
0. Kline replying to the toast, "The pri
vate Soldiers, they win thebonors which
others wear," and Capt. Hutchison to
the toast, "The Volunteer officers."
" The Regular Army—on many a field
they have shown the advantages of disci
pline united with valor" was happily re
sponded to by Capt. Hale.
To the "Quartermasters' Department—
the legs of the army"—after fruitless
calls for Capt. Humes, Lieut. Kurtz was
compelled to respond,which he did brief
ly and well.
The next toast—"Tbe Medical Depart
ment—may they never come to want,and
never be wanted," failed to secure a re
sponse from the representatives of the
medical profession present, on account of
the extreme modesty of the gentlemen
who were called upon.
The toast—" Our Hosts and Hostess
es," was very happily responded to by
W. W. Drown, who evinced by his very
appropriate remarks his appreciation
of just such a supper as had been spread
before us.- The next volunteer toast was
"The Emergency Volunteers—their Ber
-1 vices to the Enion.have never-been fully
apPreciated:" Mr. A. 0. Furatn , as
ly called for to resporid to this sentiment,
but was,not found in this emergency,when
Ex-Sheriff Conley responded by a brief
description of the invasion of
_Somerset
county, and the capture of the maple su
gar thereof by the emergency men. He
casually remarked that the reason the
enemy did not come that way was.tbat
they heard of the presence of the malitia
in that country. •
The last voltadeer foasf was offered by
J. G, Kurtz—" The triumph of the sol
diers.in the war is a , vindication of the
principles of the Declaration' f Indepen•
Bence," to which J. It. Zimmerman brief
ly and appropriately replied.
Maj. Pifer then, on invitation,sang the
"Ski-order Bunker Hill," and Mr. E. M.
Blanchard having been detected in an at
tempt to escape from the lines,by a mem
ber of the iriskl3rigade, was sentenced
to sing the "Fine Old Trish Gentleman,"
which he did with . great success and to
the very particular gratification of the
company,
On motion Cars. Hale, Lytle, Smith,
Hutchison and John G. Love, were ap
pointed a Committee to arrange for the
next annual reunion, and the company ad
journed at 11 p. m. with the toast drank
on their feet in silence, "The memory of
our fallen Comrades."
All the exercises of the clay and even
ing passed off harmoniously and to the
gratitfcation of all concerned, all agree
ing that the celebration of the 4th, by
the soldiers, was a grand success. The
Brockerhoff louse also won and deserv
ed the plaudits of all who had an oppor
tunity to share in their hospitality.

Tan Founrn IN BoAr.snuno.—We learn
the following particulars of the celebra
tion of the Fourth in Boalsburg, from a
very particular friend. The citizens, al
ways ahead in loyalty, both in deed and
in form, commenced coming in early in
the morning. The streets began to fill
up with buggies and carriages. The
people looked pleasant, and the women,
especially, as lovely as the morning,and
Lay as the beautiful and romantic scenery
which surrounds our enterprising town.
At 7 o'clock, a. in., 14 buggies left town
for the Pennsvalley Cove, Shortly af
ter, four carriages for the valley, and
in about one 'hour after, eleven more
buggies went to the same place, making,
in all, twenty-five buggies and four car
riages.
When we looked at those fat and pranc
ing 'horses, and the rich buggies and
happy people, we could not avoid wish
ing (even on the 4th) that P. G. Meek
could be present to witness the signsof
"hard times" about which he prates so
much, se foolishly and so falsely.
About 8 o'clock, a. in., the Boalsburg
Brass Band struck up the tune “Ameri
ca," and walked the streets until about
250 persons formed in procession, when
they marched to Liberty Grove, where
every preparation had been made .for a
pie-nic and celebration. The meeting
being organized, the Declaration of In
dependence was read, a speech was made,
and listened to attentively by all. After
which, music by the band, followed by
vocal music by the ladies and gentlemen.
The people enjoyed themselves to the
full; indeed, there was suite a joyful
time. All felt rejoiced that the war was
ended, the nation saved, and that we yet
had a 4th of July to celebrate.
The brass band did itself great credit,
and received the thanks and plaudits of
all present..
Prof. Leisher, Rev. Williams and Rev.
Grow were present, and received the
thanks of the people for the part they
took, in celebrating the natal day of
AllieliCan'lndependence.
Try;Rev. D. S. Schoedler will preach
in the Reformed Church of this place on
Sunday the 25th inst , Morning and
evening.
Tun Sunday school of Milesburg-had
a picnic at Brownells Grove, near miles
burg,July 3d, which passed off pleasant
ly. Particulars as to speakers and ex
ercises havenot reached us.
NEXT ..WEEK.—The article relating to
the death of Mr.Clearwater,and the corn
temptilble Slanders set afloat by the
Watchman, has been crowded out, It
will be attended to next week.
ACCIDENT.-A few day's since, a little
son of Mr. James Heaton, of Boggs tp.,
this county, fell from a fence, while at
school, thereby breaking an arm Under
the care of Dr. Hall, of Milesburg, the
little fellow bids fair soon to return to
join his playmates.
141AGNIFICENT.—The largest cherries
we have ever seen. ware raised by Rob't.
W. Porter, Proprietor' of the Old Fort
Hotel. We were presented with a box
of them. Mr. Porter hag gained to him
self the reputation of keeping one of the
best Hotels in the county, and we are
right sure that no man in the county,has
raised larger or finer cherries. If any
person has beaten him either as a Hotel
keeper or in raising fino fruit we have
yet to learn the fact.
ST/LIMING AFr•Ain.—At Philipsburg,
on Saturday last, a man by the name of
Johnson, and a Mr. Enos, got into a
quarrel, in a saloon. Angry words pass
ed, and an attempt made on the part of
Mr. Enos to strike a blow. A knife was
drawn by Johnson and plunged into the
bowels of Mr. Enos. Mr. Enos died on
Monday morning last from the effects of
the wound. Johnson was arrestod and
lodged in our new and expensive, but
not secure jail, on Monday evening.
No Ilumuno.—We do not wish to in
form you, readers, that Dr. Wonderful,
or any other man, has discovered a rem
edy that cures all diseases of mind, body
or estate, and is designed to make our
sublunary sphere a blissful paradise, to
which heaven itself shall be but aside

Dr. Sage's Catarrh RemSdy has eared
thousands of cases of catarrh in its worst
form and stages, and the proprietor will

TEM FIUTIT CROP:—The supply of fruit
of every description this year
.promises
to be immense. The pear and apple
trees throughout our own State are al
.ready bending beneath the weigh t
of the young fruit. The peach crop
in )1 - aryl:yid and Delaware will be
unprecedented. The railroad companies
in the latter State have now ready over
four hundred properly- ventilated—and
shelved cars for the transportation of
the peaches. ft is believed that these ar
rangements will be hardly sufficient to
move the fruit, and more cars and sail
ing vessels will be required. The inhab
itants of Delaware are congratulating
themselves that the peninsula, which has
been impoverished by failures in former
years, is now favored by unprecedented
crops, and that comfort and happiness
will be restored to hundreds of homes
where want. and misery have prevailed
for the past two years.
Row TO KEEP COOL .—The following
simple hints, from the Scientific Ameri
can, are useful to remember, during the
warm weather of the present season :
"Be sparing in your diet, which should
consist principally of fruits, berries and
vegetableS; Avoid everything of &greasy
nature;• also ,spiees, condiments and
sweets. Drink nothing but water. Chew
nothing but food; chew that well, but do
not chew too much of it. Excess in eat
ing is one of the principal causes of that
lazy, listless, relaxing feeling experien
ced by so many persons in hot weather.
Dress lightly, and change often. Wear
nothing at night which is worn during
the day. Bathe body every morning
with cool or cold water. Keep a clean
conscience as well as clean body and
clean clothing, and don't get excited.—
If uncomfortably warm at any time, im
merse the bands, or feet, or both, in cold
water for a short time, or let a stream
of cold water run upon the wrists and
ankles. This will cool the whole body
in a short time."
STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.--The
next meeting of the Slate Teachers' As
sociation, which will be held at Greens
burg, August 10th, promises to be very
largely attended. The programme, which
is under the direction of Mr. Henry
Houck, Deputy Superintendent of Corn
mon Schools, and Chairman of the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Association,
will embrace several very important
features.
Hon. E. E. White, State Superintend
ent of Common Schools of Ohio, will de
liver an address, the subject of which
has not yet been selected.
Rev. W. C. Falconer, of 'Mercer, will
have for his subject "Conflict and Re
form."
Swithin C. Shortliclge. of Kennett
Square, will meet the question, '•Shall
common sense clear away legal cob
webs ?" which, it is expected, will dis
cuss the question of the election of fe
male county school superintendents,now
agitating the directors and the people
of Chester county.
Dr. C Townsend, of New York, will
deliver a most able address on "Civil
Government."
Superintendent Jones, of Erie, will
speak on "School Attendance."
Addresses will also be made by. State
Superintendent Wicbersbam, Deputy
Superintendent liouck, Dr. Thomas H.
Burrows and others.
Essays will be read by Miss. Jennie
Reighard, of Williamsport, and Miss.
Wass of 'Pittsburg,
The above are only some of theprorail
nent featiiies of the Annual Meeting.—
Cor. Phil' a Evening Bulletin,
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY. - The citizens
of Bellefonte may well congratulate
themselves in having at last .gotten . an
institution of learning worthy of the
place. By the perseverance, energy anti
talent of Rev. J. P. Hughes and lady,the
school has had unexampled success. It
out-grew the capacity of the building,
which has been enlarged, and is to un
dergo still further improvements. The
"hill of science" Has, from being a bleak
knob, been made a delightful paradise
of flowers and evergreens, and, doubt
less, the road to science has, under their
genial guidance, been improved as much.
Prof. Hughes is in his element at the
head of an institution of learning, and
his whole soul is engaged in its success
ful advancement. The late examinations
and exhibitions have given us new proof
of the ability of the Professor and his
corps of teachers to fill the high calling
they have undertaken. The court-house
is too small a place to hold an audience
to so rich a treat. We wish the whole
party long life, and good health iu their
noble enterprise, along with an increas
ing patronage. W.
For th.e Republican
CELEBRATION.—On Saturday, the 3d
inst., the Sabbath-school at Eagle Chap
el, In connection With the Order of Good
Templars of Howard and Eagle Works,
met in a beautiful grove, and very ap
propriately celebrated the birthday of
our National liberties. The programme
consisted of speaking, singing, &c. The
Rev. E. Butler addressed the Sabbath
school in a very appropriate manner, af
ter which all partook of a rich repast, to
which ample justice was done by play
ing the game of knife and fork for an
hour or two. After dinner, singing by
the Good Templars, which was not the
best in the world, then a well-timed
temperance address by the Rev. E. But
ler. The exercises, throughout, were
enlivened by some of the best music,
discoursed by the Milesburg String
Band. This band is young, but a more
thorough set of practical musicians is
not, in our estimation, in the county.—
Some of its members are but juveniles,
of from twelve to thirteen years of age,
but qidif eis of the art. 111ilesburg can,
very justly, boast of the finest String
Band in the country. The celebration
past off pleasantly, every one satisfied
that the day was well spent. ZERO.
For the Repriblican.
lifEssas. Eniroas:— . l..had.the extreme
pleasure of . witnessing,oll TU`urs~ay eve.,
the Ist inst the performances 'of an ex
hibition of the young folks of Zion, Pa.
Allow me, in order fo give your readers
a definite idea of the performance, to
treat this in detail.• The performance
was conducted in the Zion school-house
which was entirely too small to accom
modate the audience in attendance
There were many ladies, as well as 'gen
(lemon, who were obliged to assume an
erect posture if they chose to listen and
see.. , The school-house was ornamented
in a-very-becoming manner. The per
formances consisted of original orations,
lectures, dialogues, declamations, essays
and tableaux, original and selected--
The perfi-rmanee was interspersed with
excellent music, produced by three vio
lins and an organ. It may be gratifying
to these musicians to say that their mu
sic was highly appreciated by the audi
ence.
A lecture on "Education" was deliver
ed.by Mr. Twitrnyer, who did well, and,
no doubt, spoke as he felt. If persons
would follow the advice of the eloquent
speaker, the children of to-day would re
ceive much better educations than' they
do.
A lecture on "Air, and its relation to
man," was delivered by Dr. Fisher.--
The gentleman illustrated the impropri
ety_of sleeping in unventilated rooms,
and sitting in rooms where the sun could
not penetrate. Suffice it to say that the
illustrations were well made, and, gen
erally, well taken.
An oration on a few technical points
of education were delivered byilfr.Kroul.
This gentleman's comparisons were ex
cellent, and, to all appearances, carried
conviction to the mind and heart of every
one present.
An oration was delivered by Mr. G,
Wells Twitmyer, the subject of which I
was unable to hear, owing to some un
necessary confusion existing at the time,
and business calling me away, I heard
very little of the discourse, and, conse
quently, am unable to give a correct re
port of it.
Now, for me to conclude without'men
tioning the lathes, would be an unpar
donable piece of malicious neglect. The
most attractive, and the piece creating
the greatest sensation was, "The Old
Maids." The young ladies personating
these undesirable characters, performed
their parts so well, that at one time we
feared they would relapse into that un
enviable stage. of womanhood, for which
every young lady in the land, (and somo
that are not so young,)entertains so pro
found a contempt:
There was also a sufficient amount of
vocal music, consisting of songs, &c.
The"Bar-roon" is a piece which young
men should take to heart, and forever
try to banish the anticipations of real
izing such a scene.
The "Old German," and his son
"John" was very enlivening to an audi
ence whose feelings had been greatly
depressed, and the old German made a
speech which tickled the audience, and
his boy played on the hand organ.
Now, a few remarks concerning the
audience. The respectable class of per
sons in attendance conducted themselves
"in a becoming and proper manner, but
rowdies of the worst stamp were in at
tendance. These rowdies were not all
citizens of this community. Such an un
manerly set of imps, I think, were never
before congregated. They did every
thing that was mean, low and contempti
ble, They made fun of the performan
ces, talked aloud, &Le., and it was evi
dent that their educations had been sad
ly neglected. I have no desire to ever
again witness such a shameful exhibi
tionof human depravity:
The performances lasted till after mid
night. SPECTATOR.
ItiAn.- - --We call the attention of our
readers to the new advertisements. We
have not apace for farther notice.
FIRST-CLASS ..T.EAVELRY.—It is With
pleasure that we again refer to the
splendid stock of Jewelry, clocke,watch
es, &e., kept, constantly on hand by J.
I. Hahn, at his jewelry-store, on Spring
St, Ballßfonte, Pa, adjoining the store
of the Messrs. Harper Bro's. Mr. Hahn
understands his business, and we have
no hesitancy in recommending him to
our patrons and friends.
ATTENTION, TRAVELLERS !--Tll another
column of the Republican will be seen
the advertisement of Tno. Kreamei, Pro
prietor of the National Hotel, Millhiem,
Centre County, Pa. The National is
decidedly the best house in Millhiem.
It is quiet and orderly, well furnished
and the Landlord, Mr. Kromer, spares
neither time nor money in catering to
the comfort and appetites of his guests.
For the Republican
Peon MILESMIRG.—Being of a migra
tory. turn, I recently visited the various
Sabbath-schools of Milesburg. The Bap
tist school is very promising, and bids
fair to accomplish much good; 'though
not 'very large, yet well conducted and
very interesting. The Presbyterian
school is young, though - very respectable
in numbers, and promises very fair.—
The' Methodist school is the largest, num
bering one hundred andfifty. officers and
teachers included. I think this school
one of the first in the county; in fact, it
will compare very favorably with any
of our refined Eastern city schools. The
mode of imparting instructions is plain,
simple, instructive and comprehensive.
In connection with, and for the benefit
of the school, they have a very fine in
strument, (musical?) which contributes
very largely to the interest of the school.
In short, it is a model school, and one of
the most interesting it has ever been our
privilege t o visit. RAMMER.
For the _Republican
Thiioxviia.s.—We have been anxious

boy to fall out of a cherry tree and break

The Primary School of this place made
a vThr. favorable commencement on Mon
day, the sth inst., under the superintend

scholars, no doubt., will improve rapidly

scholar labor under a great disadvan•
