DOES, The improvements made along the line of the 1. &. T, railroad, since it has been opened between Lewisburg and Belle- fonte are so marked as to attract the at. tention of all who were acquainted with the country thro’ which it passes, before the advent of the raiiroad. Vicksburg, 5 miles west of Lewisburg, as called into existence since the open ing of the road,and is a pretty hamlet with neat and cozy homes, Swengel, 7 miles west of Mifflinbarg, is a smart little village, of fine houses, and still growing. Millmont, 2 miles farther west, is a stirring new town, with stores, steam plaining mill, steam stave factory, and about 50 fine residences. Laure'ton—new Laugelton—is a ham- let of a few years growth and has some pretty homes. Pardee, in the mountains, is a new town, just showing its head, Tunnel and Fowler show improve- ments springing from the railroad. Coburn is a brisk town, growing right along, with hotel, stores, grain houses, plaining mill, and other industries, and about 100 houses, all new, pretty and of modern style—all since the advent of the railroad. SpfMng Mills more than doubled itself since the railroad was opened. A half dozen stores were added, a plaining mill, grain houses, and many handsome dwel- lings, Centre Hall shows the magic effects of a railroad. With the close of the com- ing summer the improvements will som up fally $100,000. A number of stores have been added, a first class roller mill, the water works enlarged and extended and a goodly number of fine dwellings haye been erected and the population of the town increased 50 per cent in three years. Linden Hall has grown with the com- ing of the iron horse, adding a grain house, coal yards and several pretty new bouses—these improvements mainly by Daniel Hess. Oak Hall comes in with grain houses, new store, and some fine dwelling hou- Lemont has shown good marks of ad. vancement, having added grain honses, and a number of fine new dwelling hou- ses with other evidences of growth still | in prospect, i The improvements noted above wonld | easily sum up $500,000—all of which was an item for lumbermen, mechanics and laborers—all attribatable to the life that was infused into the section traversed by the railroad. ee W\ © ANNIVERSARY, he L.H. & F.

A number of boys were playing on the ice there Tuesday on the river, when the grand break up occurred, and the ice be- gan to move, All the boys got off, ex. cept one, Herbert Adame, aged ten years | aod he floated five squares throngh the town, unable to make his escape, and the people apparently unable to rescue him. In spite of his screams and implor- ing gestures and to the great horror and agony of all who saw the terrible sight, he was washed off the ice and disappear- ed in the depths of the tremendous flood. Heaven only knows where that poor little body is, as it has not yet been recovered. It does seem that something might have been dove to save him, and yet, no boat and no man could have liv ed in that mighty push and crash of ice, a - CHURCH AT ZION ON FIRE. On Sunday afternoon last the Luthe ran church was discovered to be on fire, volumes of smoke issuing from the floor, The fire got considerable headway bot by the efforts of the citizens who were soon on the spot, the flames were arres- ted. One section of the edifice was de- stroyed, we believe it was the new addi- tion The damage amounta to from $500 to 8700, and is covered by insurance. The fire is thought to have originajed from the fine, Samuel Shearer put in some big licks trying to put out the fire, but isstill alive, - DEATH OF ADAM BEAR.

RIED AWAY. When the ice gorge from above Lack Haven on 9, reached there the pressure was so great on the boom that npwalkls of two million feet of saw logs were forced out and carried away. The logs will be a total loss to their owners, as no are hung below. -—— BARN BURNED, The barn of Clay Allison, at Cedar Rap, Clinton connty, was burned on Monday morning, with all its contents, Preparations bad been made for thresh. ing, bot it is not known how the fire originated. All the contents of the barn were burned, containing all last year’ crop. .

The above ticket was elected. The Republicans of Potter have no skunks among them, but stood up and made a straight township ticket on Sat. urday and stood defeat like men. The following were their nominations: Judge of election, Jacob BSlabig: In gpector, J B Btrobm; school directors, Alexander MeCoy, G M Boal: tax ool- lector, FF M Borkholder: suparvisora, Jerry Bhreffler, George Sweeny: over- seer of poor, Adam Smith, James Lingle; assessor, Michael Shires; registration as- sessor, Elmer Campbell; justice of the peace, Aodrew Grege; constable, Peter Shires; town clerk, Jacob Bible, Houses At the Democratic meetihg held in the school house on Saturday evening the following nominations were made for bo- ro’ officers: Chief Burgess H.

The half dozen persons who have engaged in this work of creating strife among Democrats out of sheer disappoint- ment, are those already known over the county for their attempts heretofore to defeat the party pominations, Our Re. publican neighbors welcome them with open arms and are glad to see their al- lies put themselves outside of the Demo. cratic organization, They have perma. nently organized, with ex-treasurer D. C. Keller as chairman, and W, P. 8hoop, red hot Republican, as secretary, for 1887, And the Republicans smile—and why should they not? Powerless inside the Democratic organization they step over among the Republicans to do their work of spite—in the end they spite themsel- ves, of which there's proof already. There are plenty of true and tried Democrats left to take care of the good old party— and we caution honest Democra's against being misled into the enemy's camp by a few chaps who have become desperate because their ugly ways have played jem out in the Democratic party.
