STI BE BURNT.— The store belonging to
Mes-rs. Zellers A Stine in Mattcrnville
was de>troved by fire on last Friday night.
The building witch belonged to John Mat
tern was totally destroyed. There was no
insurance on it. The fire is supposed to
have been the work of incendiaries—par
ties who intended tcrob and blunder. This
is very evident from the fact that some
goods were found near the store by the
people running to tho fire. The alarm
was given at half past eleven but by that
time the flame had become so strong that
it was impossible to save any amount of
goods.
The books were saved and an inconsid
erable amount of dry-goods, but almost
the entire stock was totally destroyed.
Fortunately it was insurrd for ?27C0,C0,
but tbis will not nearly cover the loss.—

A QUEER CASEL!—A week or more since
Nr. John Hoy, who lives on his farm be
low town, had a dream that his large
steam saw-mill in "West Virginia-ywhere
he owns a considerable amount of timber
lands—had burned to the ground, lie told
his family about it at breakfast, but they
laughed at the folly of paying any atten
tion to "such foolishness." The presenti
ment, however, was so firmly fixed in his
mind that his mill had been lost that he
came to town that day to await any news
that mightcome. He told several friends
here of his loss and how he found it out but
of course everybody thought he was fool
ish to borrow trouble in that-way.
Talking with a party the next day on the
street corner, a telegram was placed in his
hand. He said "I know it contains news
of the loss of my West Virginia Mill."
Upon opening it, however, he found it
was from an entirely different quarter.
Still he maintained that there could be no
doubt about the presentiment. A day or
two afterward his son Harvey arrived from
Wc>t Verginia, bringing the expected
news that the mill with all machinery and
other contents had been destroyed by fire
on the very night of the singular dream.
And still people will continue to practice
that dangerous habit.— Tuten Republican.

Correspondence of the Reporter.
A trip from home by a quiet dutch far
mer is quite an c ent, at least it was to me,
but it would be uninteresting to your
readers to recount all the sensations, of one
not given to much traveling. At Harris
burg the cry "Ail aboard for Cumberland
Valley,' brought a goodly number into
the cars, and away acrossjthe river we go,
then through the whole length of the Val
ley, but, beautiful, fertile, well cultivated,
with splendid buildings, thriving towns
and villages, with thrift and prosperity
stamped everywhere, yet your interest is
not enlisted to its fullest extent, because
you see but a counterpart ef our own val
ley on a much larger scale. As you cross
the state line, pass Hsgerstown, you leave
large dwelling houses bank barns and
white pine behind you, different modes of
cultivation meet th* eye and you feel for
the first time that you are in a strange
land- Crossing the Potomac you speedily
arrive at Martinsburg, the teriuinousof the
C. V. R. and connecting with the Rait. A
Ohio UR. Next morning, before break
fast, a train stops right at the door of the
"Berkeley House" ready to take you to
Harper's Ferry, where you are set down
with a keen appetite, your mind filled
with stories of "old John Brown inscrip
tions to his memory arc still chalked on
several stable doers. And now for Win
chester—the "Winchestertown" of the
famous "Sheridan's Ride "—thence up the
Shcnaudeah Valley; here limestone greet
you again, only too many of them at a
lime, arid giants at that, up and onward,
past big boulders, little houses and no
barns, along the little Shenandoah through
a broken country, and right in among the
hills you are at Stauntoi, a look at the
Female Seminary, the extensive buildings
and beautiful grounds of the insane asylum
—well repay the walk. Onward, due east,
and you wonder how the Blue ridge is
scaled, presently all is dark and you dash
into n tunnel, a mile or more in length,
another tunnel, deep cuts, and you arc in
east Virginia, and directly at Charlotls
viile, but what a disappointment! imag
ination and former dreams would not
harmonize with reality. And the country
fur miles around! talk about hills, Penn's
valley has none, and such ravines and
gullies. Sixty miles south with nothing
but hills and gullies, log cabins and patch
es of tobacco, to feast your eyes on, you
come to a place where a dozen bills are
piled together, and on top of each other,
and right there is Lynchburg the largest
and best tobacco market in the world.
Leaving Lynchburg, going cast, the hills
dwindle down and you reach bottom lands
with gentie elevations on either side*
Farmviile, is announced, and a walk of
two miles, brought me to Mr. Saru'lGeltig
in time for an old fashioned Centre Co.
dinner and Finns, dutch. Although
their house was burned down, yet they are
not scared, having fixed up some of their

variety, they have wheat, corn, oats, irish
and sweet potatoes, squashes, water mel
ons, field peas, beans, peanuts, tobacco
and intend Dying a little cotton ; located
near town they have market for any thing
they may grow.
To Mrs. Wm. Zeigler belongs the credit
of having a tip top garden. Mr Zeigler**

lives on it. Mr. Geiser jr is all right, and
fully able to take care of himself. And

Elias Hoy bus unbounded faith in Virgin

Christ lloffer—and what of him ?—well,
he is doing finely, is well and likes it, and
is not in the fix of the fellow, who had to
sigh and sing of the "Gill I left behind."
All of our Centre Co. men have nice
farms and there ure plenty more to be had
A man who has a few thousand dollars,
health, willingness to work and patience,
can do well. The natives are neighborly
and anxious for northern men to settle
among them. Schools are good, but as
yet somewhat fur apart. Grangers are
numerous, lands cheap und markets good,
it takes only labor.und patience to make
their's one cf Jthe most pleusunt localities
in the world, but, without money there is
no use going, nor should any one take his
family there without having first seen for
himself. All who desire cheap houses
should go to Cumberland Co. Vu.

Al* PALI.I Nt VATASTROPH K
Sad Ending of a Strawberry Festival
—The Floor of a Church CJivea
Way—lUX) Person* Hurictl in the
Ruin*.
Syracuse, June lit. A strawberry festi
val was being held at the parlors of the
Central Haptist Church, when, without
any premonition, the floor gave way. pro
oipitaling a room toll into the story below.
The parlor was on ttie second floor, and
the room underneath wa* also full.
"The little ones, who were present in
great numbers, ami who bad been looking
forward to the occasion with high hopes of
a jelly time, were preparing iheuiselvrs
tor the bast, when the floor ot the rooms
in which they were began to crack, and
the building seemed to sway as though a
hurricane had struck it suddenly Seter
•I of the grown people became alarmed
and lett the building precipitately, taking
their children with them, and in the com
motion tiv o or six ladies w ere thrown down
anj trampled upon, their limbs fractured,
in one or two instances sustaining lata!
internal injuries Through the almost
superhuman exertions of the Rev tieurge
T, Howling, paster of the church, who was
assisted by Dr Wainwrighl and Jas K.
Putin, quiet was to some degree restored,
and then the tears of the little ones and
ladies were overcome, and the ceremonies
allowed to proceed without immediate
interference. The terror that was experi
eneed, however, threw a damper over the
affair, and ruatiy were preparing to quit
the building, despite tke assurances given
by the pastor aud his associates, when sud
denly the shock was repeated, and before
the terrible position ; n which they were
placed couid be rcaliseJ, the floor gave
way and precipitated the entire assemblage
into the rooms below. It was the second
'ooin that gave way, and the destruction
of life which followed was dealt in great
measures to those who occupied the ground,
parlors. The shrieks ot the women and
children who had been crushed, coupled
with the groans of the dying men, were sc
terrible that they could bo heard at a great]
distance. Scarce Sve minutes had elapsed
ere the alarm was communicated to the
tire and police departments, summoning
immediate assistance therefrom. The in-
habitants ot the city also turned out < >
maur, not knowing what was the matter,:
and applying to each other lor information j
as to the cause of the excitement. The re- !
suit of these inquiries w as, as is invariably
the case on like occasions, the most ex
travagant rumors, confirming the gcueral
impression that an earthquake had visited
the city. The firemen, however, who
knew of the w hereabouts of the disaster,
were soon on the spot, and began system
atically to clear away the debris, notwith
standing the excited pepulace, who could
be counted bv the thousands, and who
kept up the most horrible din, rushing
tint one way, then another, and in many
cases inflicting serious injuries upon each
other. The announcement that the Bap
list Church had fallen in, burying iu ruim
over one hundred human beings, increas
ed the clamor tenfold, and those of the
multitude who feared tor the safety of!
their friends rent the atmosphere with
their lamentations. The cries of the little
•nee, too, and the waitings of anxious
mothers as they rushed hither and thither
in search of their otTspring, were enough,
to paralyze stout hearts. The floor gavei
way at half past 'J o'clock, and the excite>
merit was at its height ten minutes later.
Cause of the Accidwul.
"The accident was caused by the giving!
way of the joist that supported the floor.
The joist ran trow both sides of the room
to a cross stringer, the middle ot wbuh
was supported by iron rods from the roof i
The supporting truss was composed of
planks spiked together. The stringer gave
way, pulling the ceiling and roof down
upon the people aud precipitating iheui
into the room below. It wiil thus be seen
that defective construction of the building
•lone accounu for the disaster.
TILTO.N-BEKCHKR SCANDAL.
The Reopeuing of the Cue by lie
newed Accusations.
The news of Mr. Theodore Tilton's trip
to New Haven, and his presentation there
to the Rev. Dr. Leonard Bacon of a state
ment relating to the UeecLer scandal, was
printed in the papers recently. This inti
mation of a reopening of the case ma
bombshell in the Plymouth congregation,
many of whom stubornly denied the cor
rectness of the publication. On 25th, ult.
hsviter, Mr. Tilton gave in his Golden
Age the full text of the document, which
is largely a reply to a series of articles
written by Dr. Bacon, Moderator of the
famous Council, in which that leader in
Congregationalism assumed that Mr. Til
ton wa- a calumniator whom Mr. Beecher
forebore to crush ; but there are in it new
declarations as to the accusation against
Mr. Beecher. The plainest of these are
in the tollewing language ;
After I had been for fifteen years a
member of Plymouth Church,and had be
come meanwhile an intimate friend of the
pastor, knowledge caino tome in 1870 that
he had committed against me an offense
which I forbear to name or characterize.
Prompted by my self-respect, 1 immedi
ately and forever cea'ed my attendance at
his ministry. Informed him of this deter
mination as early as January, 1871. in the
presence of a mutual friend, Mr. Francis
D. Moullon. • • • The pastor com
municated to me in writing an apology,
signed by his name. He also appeulcd to
me to protect him from bringing reproach
to the cause of religion. II alleged that
an exposure would forbid him to reascend
his pulpit.
The Drift of Comment.
An old story that Mrs. Tilton made the
alleged disclosures about Mr. Beecher
while in a spiritualistic trance, was reviv
ed by Mr. Tilton's reference to it in his
letter. It was told in substance to Mr. K.
K. Denyse, a newsp iper reporter, by Mr.
Shearman, the clerk of Plymouth Church
and was printed in the Brooklyn linion.
When Mr. Tilton read it lie procured the
sworn statement of Denyse as to the ac
curacy of the report, and then demanded
of Mr. Sherman a written retraction per
sonally delivered in tho presence of Mr
Beecher. This was promptly acceded to,
so Mr. Tilton says, an J the apology was
delivered at the house of Mr. Francis D.
Moullon, in Brooklyn. Another point
generally seized upon for comment was
Mr. Tilton's solemn assertion : "The
reason why Plymouth Church avoided an
investigation into the scandal with which
I was charged, was not because I, but
anotlier man, had brought dishonor on the
Christian name. And yet this other per
son, a clorgyinun, permitted his church to
brand me before the Council with un ac
cusation which, had 1 been in his place
and he in mine, 1 would have voluntarily
horne for ruyself insteud ol casting on an
other" In general discussion this was
coupled with Mr. Tilton's statement that
• n effort had been made to buy his silence,
drawing out the following reply :
May 1 1874.
Henry Ward Jltceher.
SIR: Mr. F. B. Carpenter, mentions to
me your saying to him that under certain
conditions, involving certain disavowals
by IIIC, a sum of money would or could be
raised to send me, with my family to Eu
rope for a term of years.
The occasion compels nie to state ex
plicitly that so long us life and self-respect
continue to exist together in my breast, 1
shall be debarred from receiving either
directly or indirectly, any pecuniary or
other favor at your hands.
The reason for this feeling on my part
you know so well that I will spure you the
statement of it. Yours truly.

He scarcely said these words when the
lady arrived with the promised foot, Don
Antonio opened the box and examined
his relic with interest. The foot was
perfectly mumitied, but well conserved. •
This interview ceased shortly after, and
I was highly pleased in renewing the ac
quaintance of a man who, in spite of his
many errors and acts of cruelty, proved
about the only man who knew how to pre
serve order and govern the country, I
hope that Congress will restore to him
part of hi* confiscated estates, or at least
give him a decent pension.-Oorrttjtond

-FIVE MEN KILLED.
New York, Juno 25. Last evening an
immense stone grist mill owned by L.

a tremendous crash.
Eleven men were at work in the mills at
the time the disaster occured. Immediate
ly after the roof was swept away the mas

thing now as they used to do, because itsj
tbo party nominee, they have got over
that idea We are glad that you I aVe
spoken out in the Reporter the intentions;
of the people, in lime to prevent disatis
faction in our ranks, in the formation of
the democratic ticket Therefore tbe se
lection of deiegalt-s is an important mat
ter They will.have to nominate the men
whom the people will be asked to send to
repreecnt us in the national and stale rep
resentative halls, and lo disj-ense justice
in our courts, that no higher function
could devolve up< n the delegate lo dis*'
charge with a determination te cast aside
all personal predilection for mm. and te
act with a simple eye to the best interests
of bis country
In mutt iDiltncut heretofore tee r

pledged beforu lime* to tot® for the now
• nation f one politician or another, and
going into the conveiiti >n to pu*h to tur
ceti tlia candidate to whose influence In
owat hit place. In a word, under the
coeer of party the* go for their man Jia-,
regarding the J<:Tcrotiiri requirement,
"It he hone*!, it he capable;" and it i* no
tariout that there have been candidate*'
who hare re* >rtod to the lowc.t and moil
reprehentble [trick* and device* of the
political trader, and who are willing to
wade through any depth* of political rnire
to toeure their object But it mud bej
clear to every intelligent man that at no
time ha* the democratic organisation been
in tuch need of candidate* of integrity,
ability and strong in public confidence atj
now. There are bummer* in the rank*,
and worae than all, there i* dipoit!on to
break away from party line* if political!
intriguer*, *clf-*ccker* and jobber* arei
placed in nomination who puth thora-,
•elvea Tot ward to secure prise* ot such
honor and responibilily; yet, should luchj
political trimmer* *urcced in their i
schemes, they w ill make the election day j
the raoat memorable one for scratchinir
they have ever known, a* tho pre*en<j
temper of the people i* demanding more
persistently than ever before, that honest
and able men should bo clioicn to office,
and must be above suspicion both us to
ability and character. In .Mackey for
Congress, Wallace for Senator, andj
Orvis for Judge, we have such men, and
their nomination for tho respective office*
will be best carrying out tho will of the
people. For the Legislature we require
candidates of known ability and hon
esty to represent us. Under tho newr Con
stitution there is yet much to be done in
the framing of general laws, us questions
of vital importance will come up for dis
cussion ; therefore it is important that men
of integrity and influence should be sent
jto Harrisburg to represent Centre county
and democrats should see to it that can
didates of this stamp are placed on the
ticket. The delegate* need not go outside
the strictest party lines to find candidates
of assured integrity and indisputable
1 purity and possessing the confidence of
their fellow-citi/.ens If the democratic
party of Centre will he guided by such
considerations in its nominations, there
need be no fear of tho result of the elec
