Who did more for tbe farmers, me chanics and laboring men of Centre coun ty, than J. Newman, jr., of tbe famous Clothing hail, Bellelonte? You can l mention any one—for be is the man who brought down the prices of clothing and thus enabled every man and boy to be de cently clothed and for very little money. No other establishment can compete with Newman and sell as cheap as be does, and in no business heme do you liad a more perfect gentleman. MEMORIAL! SERVlCE,—Trinity Re formed Congregation, at Centre Hall, Pa., purpose* holding a memorial service on the lltb ol Dec. '7B, it being tbe Twenty- Fifth Anniversary of the organization of this congregation. The services will be gin at 7 o'clock in the evening, when tbe Rev. W. H. Grob, of Boalsburg, will preach the sermon, who is the only sur viving minister that served this congrega tion besides the present incumbent. In the public schools of Tyrone, Pcnn., a course much like that described as late ly introduced in the Belgian and Boston schools has been gradually arrived at. For some years the principal, or the ablest of his assistant teachers, has had charge ol the entering six-year-olds during their first term. The only book used is a read er, at first the easy phrases of Monroe's chart, and then an ordinary first reader. They read these by sound ; they copy the letters in simple print, and they make simple signs for the sounds. They also make figures and begin to count on their little slates. Their spelling consists in writing words they have read and are fa miliar with from seeing only the homo graphic sound-signs. They delight in nil this, and in tbe Doctor's Ulks ; and every fifteen or twenty minutes they are allow ed to break the wonderful stillness and talk themselves ; or they sing, march, ges ticulate or otherwise exercise physically There are over a hundred in the room, all taught more effectively than one would lie—more pleasantly and perhaps as easily They are a happy crowd. Their prede cessors are pressinsr on upward with an eagerness which shows that they have been imbued with the sacred love of knowledge; and that the leaven intro duced into the infar t school is leavening the whole. Have you seen the new Howe ma chine? it works like a charm. Farmers, at L. L. Brown's grain warehouse, near the depot, is where you get the highest cash price for all kinds of grain and get the cheapest coal. Please look at the figures on your address and if you find yourself back two years and more, send us the money or a part, we must have money to keep go ing.

THE ISDEFBNDEST, of New York, probably the ablest. Urges:, and best re ligious newspaper in tbe world, offers in another column to give awav, absolutely, a Worcester's Unabridged Quarto Pictor ial Dictionary, which retails everywhere for $lO, and is, of course, a household ne cessity. THE INDEPENDENT is now publishing the Rev. Joseph Cook's tamous Uostea Monday Lectures, which are creating so much discussion everywhere. It will al so soon begin the publication of a series of articles on "Socialism and Communism. ' one of the most important questions of the day, by Ex-Pre* t Theo. D. Woolsey, D. L>" LLD. See advertisement of THE IN DEPENDENT in this paper. Lately, when in Philadelphia, after vis iting various places of note, we were ad vised by a lady friend to spend an hour in inspecting the great dry good* establish ment of Messrs Strawurulge 0: Clothier. Knowing this bouse to be a very popular one with the people of our county, and that our observations would be of interest to our lady readers, we concluded to do The sew structure .erected last summer, it one of tbe handsomest specimens of mer-i cactiie architecture we have ever seen! and, huge as it is, we saw a* we passed in to the interior that it no more than com lortably accommodated the array of buv er thai beseiged every department on the first floor Everything about the room is plain and massive, and adapted for its business use only. The general appear ance is very effective. On this floor are the many department* devoted to the sale of Silk*. Dress Goods. Black Goods, Cloths. Hosiery, Underwear, Prints, Dress Trimmings, Gloves, and numerous other articles. SVe recognized many familiar faces in the crowd, but. without stopping to con verse, descended by a bread and spacious stairway into a handsome room, a great part of which is under the street, and crowds of people daily walk over one o! the busiest scenes in Philadelphia By mean* of patent lights this room is as well lighted a* the one above Here we found Muslin.*, Linen*. Hcusefurnishing Need. Flannels, Blanket*. (JuilU, Carriage Rubes, etc., each being kept in a separata department, and having a counter and salespeople for its exclusive sale. In tbe pilotage of a gentleman connect ed with the house we re-ascended the stairway, and stepping into a handsomely furnished elevator, in a moment were lift ed to the second floor. This room, hand somely carpeted and furnished, is un doubtedly one of the finest salesrooms in ' the United States It is devoted to the! -ale of Ladies ready-made garments of all ! descriptions ; suits, shawls, cloaks, wraps, j and numerous other articles of dress, be- 1 side* Misses', Children'*, and little Boys' Clothing and Ladies' Underwear. This spacious and beautiful salesroom pre-ent ed an appearance of wonderful activity, and tbe spectacle was one of great inter est to tbe looker-on. Another story ascended and we are in a department of more interest to us than anything before seen—the Mail Order De partment. through wtiich the wants of dis tant customers are supplied. The demand far sample* of various kinds of dry goods has grown to such proportions that hand labor was found inadequate te make tbe great quantity daily needed, and machines are now used for the purpose- The rapid uv with which yards of fabrics can be con verted into samples, ticketed with width and price, is astonishing. We saw innu merable yards of silks and fine dress goods, a* well a* less costly material*, ready to be run tbrougQ the machines, arid as many more made into samples. We were in formed that tbousaads ot yard* of all kind* •if fabrics are annually converted into samples, Rod that requests for them are received daily from almost every State and Territory of the Union. The huge pile of package* that we saw ready for the mail and express, was evidence that a large proportion of the requests for samples come back orders, isevaral of these bun dle* were addressed to people in our county. After witnessing the perfect system In this department we are persuaded that it is almost useless for ladies living away from the city to viit it to do their shop ping, so perlectly can their needs be sup plied by this firm's system of attending to mail orders. We bava already occupeid more paec than wo intended, so wo clo-e, advising all who go to Philadelphia "ight-seoing' to visit, S one of the most interesting places, tbe vast establishment of Straw bridge dc Clothier.

Pesth, November 3"-A disratch to; the Pestber Lloyds from Berlin Rus sia is about to begin a diplomatic cam paign with England in relation to Afghan istan. General Kaufman ha* handed to his Government a memorandum, point ing out how dangerous to the security tho Southern frontiers of Turkestan i'. would be if the Khyber Passes wero permanently occupied by British troops, j General Kaufman regards as groundless the British apprehensions of Russia tbraat er.ing the northern frontier of India from Central Asia.

Tbe St. Petersburg Cabinet, relying on this re port, will esk serious guarantees from eng and that no ohenges will be made in the territory or the independent condition of Afghanistan.
