THE CENTRE REPORTER. FRED KURTZ, . . . Editor a o———-—— —— —————— a —————— Centre HALL. Pa, Jun. 18, 1883, The Largest Paper in Centre County, Lock HaveN Journal: The New York Construction Company, who have taken the contract to build the Williamsport and Clearfield (Saylor) railroad from the mouth of Beech Creak to Snow Shoe, are sxpected here this week to sublet the work, The Susquehanna and Southwestern lets ting will also take place this month, - Well, well, our “intellectual” neighbor, the Journal man, at Millheim, is clean ont-o-sorte, and complains of-the Reror- Ter for not complimenting him. We are sorry; but suca important papers as the RerorTER, the N. Y. Herald, and the like, vou know, can not afford to fling around compliments to the exclusion of more important things, He has been growling at us ever since New Years To put him in better humor, we say that his Journal has improved most decided- ly in tone in the last three weeks, by stopping its continued begging for pon- hoes, sausages, mush, apples, and other truck, and t king to talk about the Re- rortER. This is a decided improvement, indeed —often did we think that the Overseers doan there were vot doing their duty. Then our portly friend of the “intelleo~ tal” organ, seems to be crusty because the ReporTER Will not question his age. Why, what do we care how old yon claim to be—it would not do for us to call upon you to say when you were born, it wonld confuse vou terribly, and we can't be so cruel. As for the Reror- TER, we took it, its editor, books, papers, files, title, record+, its democeacy—soul and spirit—a'l that really constitutes a journal, to Centre Hall, in '68, and went rizht on without interraption, commeno- ing its new series. The dear man of the Journal hh 8 none of these—only some of the old worn-out type, which in printing office parlance, were only fit for “hell” He thinks any one purchasing the Reror TER'S worn out type, and setting up a hebdomadal esewhere, conld ciaim to be the ReporrEr. What nonsense from this Millbeim Solomon ! He boasts of snccession—Stover, Foot and B. O. D.—=ail simon pure republi- caus, haters of democracy they abaudon nawe of the pa: er to boot. ‘Lhe Reror- TER has always heen edited by a Demo- orat —the Millheim Journal always by Republicans. ‘The RepoRTER is always democratic, rain or shine: the Journal wan shifts around with the wind. And then the court—Judge Maver, we believe, presiding-—decided that you wera no paper at all, in all this time, Stiil we don’t growl. Dut he says onr dixie ipsit (see, we know Latin too) don't setfie the matter. Yes, we say to our dignified peighbor, it does, in view of the above, and 10 view of the further fact that we are the only really sane man of those interested io this; yon are no judge —it 1s generally couceded that a Jack-of-all-trades is jadge and master of none. Why, he is not even a printer, and he wants to know. “whats got wrong” with us; we're all right, siuce we are never subject to spells of junacy. Say you are 100 years old, good neigh- bor; whet care we—the Journal certain- ly has very old looks. Now we just have before us a lengthy letter from Ars thur wasting us to give him our views on Civil Service Reform, and a postal from Grant wanting to know whether we think him sound on the Fitz-Joha Por- ter case; so you see, we must drop you and pay attention tosome of the other big fish too. Take the advice of a prin- ter, ireep up the present tone of your sheet, it is a vast improvement on i's former sausage, wurst, saitz, and pon- hoss literature.

Uriah Muyer, the condemned man who is to be huog on the 28th of Febru ary for the complicity in the murder of ibe Kintzler family, views with horror the coming day of his “taking off.” The following 1s from the Middieburg Post: “We found him sitting on his bed and his countenance rhowed unmistakable sigos of vivlent grief, A few introducto- ry remarks and the subject was ape proached. He seemed horror-stricken when contemplating the awful ordeal through which he had to pass, and at times wept aloud. doue the killing of the Kintzler family, but made no reference to the charge of having had complicity in the horrible deed. He shuddered when speaking of #oeing the hanging of his brother Jona- than on the gallows on which he is to be execnted, and feelingly spoke of his aged mother, He complained that as he evuld not read he had no way to pass his time than coatemplating his mpidly sp- promching doom, which occupied his thoughts by day snd his dreams by night. His description to us of a dream he had the night previous to our visit was most pathetic. He dreamt that his two little children now living in Schoolcraft, Mich, had called to see him and he kissed them over and over again, and while in this ecstacy of delight be awoke to find himself alone, forsaken and hope- less, With this sad picture indelibly stamped on our mind we bid him fare well and took our departure, promising him another call, which we hope to post. pone until the duties of our profession compel us.” - li of A A A — ~The Philadelphia and Erie railroad will be double-tracked from Lock Haven to Willismsport in the near futare. w—eCanned and dried fruit, such as yon get at Secliier’s grocery, is far cheap- er and batter than that families put up for themselves, Sechiers never get any of those goods except from the best and most reliable canning houses in the country.

A rock upon which many make ship- wreck of themselves is this matter of Election. Some regard the doctrine of Elecyon as & bard thing, making a mere machine of men. Others look upon it as a comforting truth and rejoice in it, Now ia order to obtain a just understand- ing of this whole question, it is well for us in the first place to settle down upon this fact, namely: That the doctrine of redestination is the doctrine ot God. t is part of His word. To attempt to eliminate it is to incur the anathema of its Author. We find the words “predes- tination,” “election” and ‘‘eternal pur- pose” in the Book we profess to take as our spiritual guide. Now we ought to know what these words mean, and knowing their meaning we should love it. Thuis doctrine of Election and the Bible are forever married—no law of di- vorce can sever them, What is this doc- trine? Bimply God's eternal purpose to rule his universe just as He does. And certainly if any ove is satisfied with God's roling as he does, he should not be dissatisfied with His predestination to rule just as he does, God's predestination is only His eternal plan of government — His eternal decree. And turther, God's decrees affect no one but himself. They are the wise plans—eoternal and un- changeablo—upon which he chooses to act. To be 8 wise God He must be a God of order snd plan, else “Haphazard’ would be king. If he has had plan and order only since time began then He is a changeable Being without dignity, and aaworthy of my trust, If He changed once He may change again ad-infinitum. Pian God must have before there can be election on His part, or else He is the least wise of all intelligent beings in the universe, I can know his pian only when he acts His decrees are laws for Himself not for me. There is nothing in them for my will or that demands my ohelience or that compels me in any matter. By His eternal decrees He has determined before he acts what and how ne will act. I may not enjoy His meth. ods of doiog, but He has his own ways, and He has considered them well, so that I am obliged to hesitate before I attempt to criticise the Infinite, We are never to WILDE TAKEN IN BY BUNKO STEERERS. New York, December 28. Capt, Wil- lian 8 bas verified the story that Oscar Wilde was “taken in” by bunko steerers The Captain says two weeks ago Oscar while walking up Broadway near Union Square, was accosted by a hatchet-faced young man, who introduced himselfas a son of Drexel, the banker. As he had seen the poet in his father's office he took the liberty, ete. Wilde was delight- ed. He had been in Drexel's bankiog office, but did not remember the young man. The two went to a restaurant, where Mr, Drexel ate as though hungry. Wilde remembered this, and not with an wsthetic smile, later in the day, when informed by Capt. Williams that “Mr. Drexel” was “Hangry Joe,” a noted banko steerer. During the meal Drexel mentioned he had won a lottery prize, and suggested the poet accompany him to get the money. Oscar did so. They went to a bouse on Fifteenth or Beven- teenth stree*, Beveral men were throw- ing dice. Drexel threw for the poet and won quite a sum, Oscar was then per- suaded to join in, and of course began to lose, Fir:t it was $60, then $100, until becoming excited over the game he played until he lost in all $1,060, He signed a check on the Madison Square Bank for the amount, rushed into the street, jumped into a cab and drove rap- idly to the bank, where he stopped pry- ment, The check was later returned to Captain Williams, In the rogues’ gallery Oscar picked out a picture of his friend and companion, “Mr. Drexel,” alias “Hungry Joe.” BREVITY.
