In last week's Reporter we punted an Item of the burning of tho Cutmeu chil dren in Mitllin county * From the le istown Garettc.of 10, we obtain further particulars: The house of Daniel Cutu.au, w ho re aides iu .Oliver township, some miles northwest of McYeytowu. caught fire uKiut one o'clock ou the night of the -*i May, front the stove-pipe which ran through the roof. The lather had U*eii ont to stay with a sick neighbor, uiidtlu mother was up late. Four children, two boys aud two girls, all slept in the rv>oui up stairs, there bciug no partition in that part of the house. The fire dropping down on the beds awakened the boy a, and or eof them opened the door. when the ceiling fell, covering the beds with fire, joatis, plastering, kc. The two gir:> one aged about 14, the other t, were thus pinned down on the bed, and ex cepting the bones totally consumed. What was left of them was subsequent ly taken from the debris and buried on Friday, freely anything was saved, provisions, clothing and furniture ul. be ing neglected in the harrowing scene of the two children in the fiery mass, whose sufferings however were no doubt of short duration. The oldest boy i.- said to have displayed much presence of mind and more than ordinary heroism, and had human aid been capable of do ing it, would have rescued his sisters. Chicago should be happy now it has two fellows acting as Mayors of the city— Hoyne and Calvin. And on the 10 inst., the brick makers inaugurated a strike. About three hundred of them, armed with clubs, knives and revolvers, marched in a body to the yards and de manded higher wages. The police were promptly on hand and suppressed the mob for the time beiug. ,Says the Philad. Times of 13: V e have a number of communications from citizens and strangers complaining of extortionate charges at the Exhibition. One person writes that he pay five dollars for a plain beefsteak dinner: another was charged fifteen cents for "a thimbleful of soda-wateranother makes a general complaint against the tariff at the French restaurant, and yet another caps the climax with a specific complaint that he was charged fifteen sent* for a pretzel—an allegation which, unaccompanied by an affidavit, we re ceive with some incredulity. Itis reasou able to suppose that there is some ground for these numerous and various com plaints, and we earnestly advise the Centennial authorities to look into the subject at one. Nothing is more import ant to the successofthe Exhibition than that there shall be plenty to eat and to drink at moderate prices, and if it be not possible to regulate the tariff, the people having these concessions should at least be compelled to post their charges conspicuously. But we hope, when the Exhibition gets to working smoothly, to hear no more of such com plaints. Bill Brown held quite a reception lor his old subscribers, on Monday and Tuesday last. The rooms set apart for the occasion were those of the stoic Esq. Fury, in Garman's block, Bellefonte. Several hundred invitations were sent out into all parts of the county by Villvam, and the honored ones embrac ed the elite of Centre Ilall, Bald Eagle, Nittany and Penmnrallies. No less a dignitary than constable Lose was en trusted with serving the kind invitations. How an old editor can afford to get up a thing of this kind an so large a scale passes our comprehension. It was a perfect "surprise party" to Brown's old friends. We were not invited—and felt rather slighted—hcr.ce can't tell whether the refreshments were served up in courses or curses. What it means we don't know—perhaps the Col. has some intention of running for I-eftenant gov ernor and thus fastened down his old stand-bys ; maybe he did it of pure un selfishness, driven on by veneration for his old patrons, or urged ou by the pains of an empty exchequer. Long live Brown. Those who only intend to 'make one trip to the centennial are regretting their attendance at the opening. A month hence the show will be worth double the money it is now in its condi tion of incompleteness. The receipts for tickets on the first day of the opening of the centennial exhibition were $40,000. A great many persons obtained admission without paying. Isn't the Boston Post slightly mistaken when it says the Democrats of Ohit> think their Senator is Thur-man for the Presi dency ? The St Louis Convention will show you "who's who." Til-den, wait. Ex-Senator Dooliltlc will be one of the "Wisconsin delegates to the Democratic National Convention, lie was a Republi can in Lincoln's time. This country may be said to be suffer ing just now from a triple combination of disorders—Belknapery, Grantism, and Bubcockypop. — Louisville Courier Jour nal.

It will uo longer bo necessary to present a fifty-cent note or coin. Two quarters, or any combination of fractional currency making fifty cents, will admit one person ; a dollar will admit two persona, and soon. The only restriction upon the public here after, its this regard, will bo that the exact change must be presented to the gate-keep era, In a few weeks t he democratic nation al convention Mill meet at St. Louis, when wo will nail to the mast-head of the Reporter its nominees for president ami vice-president. Who will he those nominees? Will the democratic party carry tin next presidential election ? I'h.se two quest ions are the nlhalnKM l>- itig ones among democrats now ; ami that the democracy may nominate good and able men who have the confidence of the people is the wish of all true pa triots without regard to party. As to the first question, it is difficult tii predict just now who Mill he the democratic standard bearer in the coin ing presidential election. I here is some very excellent material in the field from which to select. lYiiusylvania has Black and Hancock, either would do iMtio has Thurimiii, a very good man. Indiana has lleiniricks another excel lent man. Delaware oilers Bayard, whom anyh.Hly could support. New York brings her uuaurmous voice for Samuel J.Tihleu.the great democratic reformer, who has been waring upon the ring* and thieve* that have been plundering the empire state. We w ill cheerfully support any of the uliova named gentlemen, and heltevt that ifthe convention places one of t!.< m In nominatian, his election is certain be yond a doubt. They are all statesmen, with stainless rnx>r.U, and known to the people as pure patriots. The Keystone state can be carried for a candidate taken from among those mentioned above. New York can be relied on also, -..wii Ohio, Indiana, California. | Jersey. Oounccihtit, with nearly every state south of Mason and I'ixon s line I .dl of these are tired of viranli-ur aid. will vote for a reform candidate, be cause all the prominent republicans mentioned for president are taint ed with one or the other of the big steals that are now under investigation, ami the honest masses wish to have none of ibat kind of timber in the white house, having had a surfeit under the Grant regime. We aayitis difficult to predict who will Ik- the democratic nominee. But to judge from the public pulse as it is uow beating, we think the current is iu favor of Gov. Tilden. Several stuns are al ready known to be for him. and north, south east and west wo observe promi nent journals pronouncing iu his favor. Wo judge the direction of the wind from those straws, and we see them ily more thickly every day. The curreut is in favor of Tilden, but whether it will gather volume enough to carry him through at i-t. Louis, tit© Kc]H.>rtr will not now undertake to predict. lut w< tliink that he w ill have more -trength than any other candidate to go into the convention with. The democracy can elect the next president if thej St. Louis convention acts for the good of the party and makes a wise choice. We would prefer a good man—any of those mentioned above — without a platkmu. The record of these men is a good enough platform for auy honest voter. Platforms often swamp the beat men, and result in the election of bad ones. Give us a man iu whom the people have confidence, and throw platforms to the dogs. Let us make a nomination to win. let the !"-t. Louis convention be free from jobbers and perform a good work, and the people will yearn to ratify it. We need a change. The people cry and sigh fof it. and wise counsels at St. Louis, in June w ill bring it about. A few weeks will tell. WILL THE CESTESSIAI. EXHIBI TION PA F? It is estimated that 190,000 pedple visited the Centennial grounds upon the opening day. It is also estimated thai 30,000, or nearly one-fourth of the total number, marched in the noble army of deadheads, tho column led by Grant, and tailed by country editors, Philadel phia ward politicians, and relatives of Congressmen, even to the third and fourth degrees ofcousiuship. l>v an easy anil obvious arithmetical process, it will be seen that if there were 100,000 paying visitors at fifty cent® each the total receipts at the gates were just $50,0u0. But on Thursday the total at tendance fell to 3d,UW. Allowing that the deadhead attendance decreased in like ratio, which, by the way, is not at all probable, the second day's receipts were about 114,000, The great show, excluding any allow* a nee for current expenses while it is open,has cost about $3,500,000. Caterers cigar and pop-corn peddlers, and other individuals whoso patriotism has not obscured their enterprise, have paid in about $500,000 for concessions and privi leges. In order, therefore, to rejay the money contributed by the United States Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia, and private subscribers to Centennial stock, the Exhibition will have to net $8,000,- 000 over its running expenses. But to earn $8,000,000, even in gross, the receipts must nvorago more than $50,000 for every one of the one hun dred and fifty-mine days of the show. This would require a daily attendance of 100,000 paying visitors. Is it reasona ble to expect that this average will be reached? We fear not. Taking the season through, the average attendance is more likely to approach the second day's figures than those of the first. It is true that the situation might be improved by throw ing open the Kxhibi tion at half price on Sundays ami l>y cutting ofT every one of the 30,000 dead heads. But, even under these more favorable conditions, we do not see any probability of the repayment of the Government loan of $1,500,000, and none of the patriots who have subscribed to Centennial stock byway of speculation can congratulate themselves on tho prospect of a dividend.—.Sun.

Theologian* have writ ten a great il ■n'JiiliiHit rem-nUiice, perhaps too inurh. I think the thirty nine article* I of the Kpiacopal Church are about as clear on repentance as anything I have seen outc tide of the Biblo. In Acts xvli. 30th versn we read "But now coiuinandeth all men II very where to repont." The great theine of John was "r.pent!'' "repent!" i for tho kingdom of heaven is at hand. The same word* were uttered by 'Christ at the very beginning of Ilia piinis : try on earth, calling all men to repent, lut they rejected Him, and so He could I not set up II is kingdom among the Jews and then Ho set up His kingdom in the heart* ofthe people- I hope He will set up His kingdom in thousand* of heart* in J this building to-night. If you will but re-; pent He will do it. The disciples pieach-| ed the same doctrine of repentance. That was wliat Peter preached about on the day of Pentecost. 1 tell you the word of Ood loaches that an unpretending man will never livp within sight of heaven. Before u man repent* tie want* no communica tion with (100, but many think they have not repented long enough nor had enough godlv sorrow. 1 don't believe any man can have godly sorrow before he it con verted. That belong* to tho Christian. The Word of (lod don't teach that men must have a long conflict of sin and bitter ness. A man can repent and be born again nnd turn to (lod In One Minute, but I nrvor saw n person seared into the kingdom "I God. but they wore seared out jut as <]ui(*k. That kind of conversion i> not conversion nt nil. I wouldn't give mi jibing for the repentance of a niun who merely become* full of fmr under some grout sermon. People in H building on lire, or sailor* in a storm, w ill full on their kueet and pray Thntisnot true repent ante A man who is thoroughly convinc ed of hi* tin, and desires to livo a new life, it one who has genuine repentance. Such a man is ready to give up all for Christ. Don't let a rumsoller think ho is going to get into the kingdom of Heaven until he leaves his hellMi business, norn drunkard until bn leaves bis cups. Hut tiianks be to God. botli of those can repent now and turn to God. There are 6,000 people here to-night that aro convinced they ure wrong. That is the work of tho spirit. You can't And a place in tho Biblo where u man repented, but God received and pardoned him. Cain Might Have been Forgiven if ho had repented and confessed. Men may liavo remorse without repentance. God is full of forgiveness, but i. men won't repent God will not receive tiieiu. I think that David and the publican did very much the sumo thing j they both re pented nnd that was why they both got forgiveness, it is just aa much a command to men to repent as "Thou .shalt not swoar," "Thou shall not steal." l.et mo ask tiio question, Have you nothing to re 1 - ipent of f liavo you novor committed sins?
