POINTS TO VISIT.
The points to visit by the
| who will be at the picnic next week, and
which will be of interest, will be
i ma follows:
I. The top of Nittany mountain, im« |

road for walkiog or driving leads
fand the distance is only

| 3. Visit the points close to the pienie
| ground, the sight of the oid fort, the
{ *pring, connected with incidents of fron- |
white man fought around a tree with!
{ knives until both were found dead bes |
| neath the tree, and where the grave of
{ the Indian is still to be seen—distance
| 3¢ mile from picnic ground.
i 4. The Reronrer office, in which is |
| Priuied the oldest paper in Central |
{ Pennsylvania, founded in 1828, where |
files of the firet issues can be seen. The |
paper has leit its mark upon the county, |
ns a political advocate of what is good, |
| right and jost, and is proud of what it
| has done towards furthering edocation, |
| progress and improvement, and the good |
| it has effected in thie direction, Its ios |
dependence in standing by good men |
and correct principles has often called
down upon it the wrath of time-servers, |
and it has actually been boycotted for |
the last four years, because the Revrortar
would not swerve from the path of duty
boycotted, we mean, not men-cotted.
b. A delightful drive taking in the
beautiful villages of Spring Mills, Penn
Hall, Millheim and Aaronsburg—dis-
tance 12 miles.
6. Potters Mills and SBeven Mountains
Potters Mills was the home of Gen. Pot
ter, of revolutionary fame, and around
centre many incidents of days that tried
men’s souls, The Seven Mountaine,
close to Potters Mills will be found a ro-
mantic region.
7. The beautifal Lutheran church
Centre Hall.
8. A drive to State Solloge, 11 miles
distant, taking in Linden Hall and Dan
Hess, and Boalsburg, Oak Hall and Le-
mont,
9. A most delightful drive to Belle-
fonte, 7} miles, and its new iron works,
beautiful springs, i hotels, and whole
souled people, and ruins of big fires,
10. Centre Hall roller flouring mills,
where the complete roller system for
making flour, by the best machinery
out, can be seen. At this mill the
best brands of flour are made, equal to
any western.
hus it will be seen that the visitor to
the picnic can put in an entire week at
Centre Hall and get ten times the worth
of his money.
