Dr. Orndorf, of Ferguson paid our

The headquarters of tho Greenback
party have been removed to the dad story
ofSeth Yocum's white hat. Seth is and

Remember that A. G. Curtin favors
retiring the National bank note* and hav

sound principle and meets the daaires of
democrats as well as greenbackers, it
would save the country some 20 millions
in interest every year.
There is a great rush at the Stand

On last Friday one of the ou'.build
ings of Lafayette Jfeff took fire, and the
greater part of tha roof and gable burned
before the dame* were extinguished.
Timely assistance saved the main build
ing. Mr. Jfeffreceived some severeburns
in his efforts to put out the fire.
An outhouse of Mr. John Dauber
man took fire one day last week, threaten
ing destruction to the larger buildings,
but through timely aid the fire was extin
guished.
The dwelling house of Mr. John
Conley, about 2 mile east ef Ilall,
was destroyed by fire on last Friday, about
midnight. The fire originated in the
wash house near the main build
ing, where they had been boiling apple
butter during the day. The outbuilding
was all ablaze and the family only awoke
by the flames striking the windows of the
chamber on the second story where Mr.
and Mrs. Conley slept, and in a few mo
ments the main building was on fire also.
The flames spread so rapidly that the fam
ily coald not save anything but the con
tents of one room on the first floor. All
their clothing, furniture, papers, and pro
visions in cellar and buildings were burn
ed. There were sor ie GO bushels of potatoes
in the cellar. Mr. Conley in attempting to
save things from the upper story found his
retreat cut off by the fire and escaped by
jumping from a window. The total loss is
not less than slßoo—insurance about SI2(W
in the Pennsvalley company. The barn
would undoubtedly have been burned al
so, but fortunately there was no current
of air in that direction. The house was
erected only a few years ago. Many of
our people were soon on the spot, but
render no assistance.

On Friday during the races at the M iffiin
county fair at Lewistown, the sheriff sud
denly put in an appearance and levied on
all the real and personal property of the
society that was found on tho fair grounds
including the gate money and the funds
in the hands of the treasurer. It is not
positively knawn if these proceedings will
preclude the payment of the usual pre
miums offered by the association to exhi
bitors, hut it is more than likely that they
will. Tho affair has created quite a sensa
tion.
Just before the Rev. A. 11. Augho died
on the floor of tho Evangelical Lutheran
church in Milfiintown, during the session
of the svnod, he laid an onvolopo on the
window-sill, says tho Democrat and Reg

sting of death is hero," He had placed
the envelope in a side pocket of his coat
and was just silling down when death
struck him.

Diptheria broke out in tho family of
Samuel Randall, of Mankato, Minn., last

little coffins were carried to the grave
yard at the same time in the presence of
an immense concourse of people.
For Mr. Tlios. Harper, A>f Aarons

We last week noticed the death of a
son of Mr. David Bollinger, of Aarons
burg, by a kick from a horse. This week
we learn of a sad accident that befell Mr.
Bollinger himself, on last Friday. 110 fell
from an apple tree, a distance of 18 feet,
since which lime he has remained uncon
scious and has not spoken a word. Veri
ly misfortunes do not come singly. Mr.
B.'s family deserve the sympathy of tho
community.
Wo admire Newman's courage, it
is a benefit to the people, he is bound not
to be undersold by any one in clothing,
and guarantees to sell the cheapest Cloth

found to be a man of honor and good as
bis word.

WHAT A GREAT* NEWSPAPER
SAYS OF THE COMING
GREAT SHOW.
Unquestionably, by far the greatest
Mcnagarie and Circus that has ever visited
this place will reach Bellefonte by its spec
ial trains on Saturday, October 12th, and
that is the Great European Soven Ele
pbant Railroad Exposition of the Sells
Bros. Its proportions aro simply enor
mous, and its educational and amusement
resources almost beyond computation. It
is also as superior in refinement and ele
gance of presentation ai it it overshadow
ing in easiness, and comes recommended
and endorsed in the highest and most un
qualified terms by the entire press wherev
er it has pitched its mammoth tents. Such
indi-putable authority as the Pittsburgh
Daily Dispatch emphatically praises it at
follows :
"The 7 elephants, to which such promi
nence bat been given in our advertising
columns, arrived by the Pan Handle yes
terday, together with the balance of the
big new menegarie and circus by which
thejr are employed as a distinctive title.
The really superb and sensational parade
on tbe South Side in the morning, togeth
er with tbe highly original and successful
advertising etcepade of tbe two-horned
rhinoceros, gave the show such a first-class
•end-off that business was excellent in the
afternoon and extraordinary at night,
when the smoke-tinged|brawn and muscle
of Birmingham rallied in admirable disor
der to forget the furnace, factory and forge
■ in the presence of the "Tropical Terrors"
- and tbe "Monarcha<of Muscle." Well
recommended as the show bat come, and
, liberal as were its promises, it fully merits
* the one and redeems the other. Much
* liberality, originality and ingenuity it dia
| played in its street pageant, which teems
! to compass the limits of possibility in that
* direction, and give an excellent free idea
" of what comes after for pay. The inena-
gerie it very large and complete, and no
i tably cosmopolitan. The circus troupe is
* an uuusually large one, and combinas a
wide diversity of talent. The bareback
, riding is of tbe best, mod the various gym
i nastic feats command continual applause.
* Willis Cobb's educated dogt, monkeys
t and goats give most ontertaining and
- laughable variety to the programme."
Farmers if you take your grain to
L. L. Brown, near depot, Bollefonte, you
will get the highest cash price. He
alio sells all kinds of coal at lowest prices.
WHOSE?
The concluding article on the subject of
a New Series of text books for our schools
did not appear as contemplated. The aec
oivf was delayed one week in consequence
of crowded columns, god the thiri partial-1
iy anticipated by the action of the Bow#
i of Potter twp, on the 9Hh ult. Withal,
by tho Editor's permission, tho answer to
. tho question above will bo given as duo to
' all parties. It was intended to call tho at
tontion ol tho public and tho Hoard, in
tho second paper, to the propriety ot
adopting a History of such a grade as
could be used by pupils of the third read
er, also a general History to supplement
tho llrief Course now in u-o. We need
not say that the study of History Is an im
portant one. and that early life is the most
opportune season for Its cultivation and
mastery. The general prevalence of fic
ticious reading among the young, and tho
consequent distaste for works of History,;
Science and Travel, ought to he argument
sufficient in favor of making History a test
book throughout the whole course of Cow
men School Education With the
view of attaining this and, Paor. SWUTON
of New York, has prepared a series of
School Histories. The series consists of
throe books two on l\ 8. History, and
a third on Outlines of tieneral history.
They are sufficiently comprehensive for
such a course as can he taken ia Interme
diate, Orammar. and High Schools. The
plan of the books is clear, the style, pure.
We are sure the Hoard would have done
a good day's work in acting on these
Histories. The Geographies and Spellers
adopted by the Hoards of Potter and
Gregg twps are from the pen of the same
author —Prof. Swinton, The adoption of
these works is a move in tho right di
rection—the choice of the Hoards judi
cious. To see the name of Prof. S. upon
the back or title page of a book it sufficient
fcr pronouncing it a work of the Ai ghost
merit. We have yet to commend the ac
tion of the Hoard in the selection of Read
ere-qualily, not quantity seems to have
led to the selection of the Graded series, ll
this matter of introducing new books into
our schools was less important, wo would
apologise for the space we have taken ;
since it is fraught with interest to ourselves
and the future it deserves more than a
passing notice. G. W. FOETKIV.

A curious discovery has lately
liecu made, while repairing the house S
i formerly occupied by the Jacobin
■ Club during the great Ivcvolution, 1
'and known as the liotel dc Lonrires,
in the liue St. Hyaciuthe, St. Honre. '
The Club, which guided the destioiee
df the revolution during some few -
years, had often boasted of allowing
the ambition of Robespierre and other
leaders to progess so far, and no farth
er ; and the members hy vote had
passed a law which entitled the nta
joritv to exclude from any particular
tcan'ce any particular member whose' 1
interests might lead him to sway the
opinion of the Club. Kobespierie.
. whose ambition had rendered him an|
object of suspicion, bad often been,
' voted out of the assembly ; and it has
been a matter of surprise to tho his
f torian of the time, that he could so
• long maintain his influence in spite of
! the violence of the opposition thus oer ,
milled. The secret is now revealed
• A small room —a hiding plaeo in the
■ thickness of the wall—has just been
! discovered, opening by a trap door in
. to the very hall where the delibcra
| lions were being carried on, aud
t whence ho could listen to the meas
ures to be taken against him, and thus
' forearmed, have power to defeat them.
l f It is evident thut this hiding place
i must have been occupied bv Robes
" pierrc ; and when first entered by the
' workmen tho tracts of his prcseuoe
were still visible in the journal which
f lay upon the table, and the wriling
j paper, from which had been torn a
small portion, as if for the purpose of
r making a memorandum. The only
'• book which was found in the place
was a voluftic of Florain, open at the
second chapter of Claudine. It was
covered with snuff, which had evident
ly been shaken from the reader's shirt
frill, and bore testimony to the truth
of history which records the simplicity
! of the literaiy tastes of Robespierre.
I His presence seemed still to hang
b about that small space, as though lie
had quitted it but the moment before;
'j aud, singular enough, the marks of
I- the feet, as though ho had recently
y trodden through the mud, were still
j visible on the tiles of which tho floor
. ing is composed.— J'otltr's American
