Harpster came to attend the funeral of his sister-in-law, Mrs Sarah Harpster and for the purpose of paying his brother Mr. Jacob Harp- ster a visit, but in the latter he was sorely disappointed. Not until he stopped in front of the old home of his brother was he aware that the family had removed from Centre Hall to Montana, and the information was a sudden shock to him, which he could scarcely realize, His being igno- rant of the fact can be attributed to the unreliability of the mails, Three letters hud been mailed him by his brother but Rev. Harpster never re ceived one, and he came on expecting to put in a week or more in the com- panionship of his brother and regale themselves in the reminiscences of their boyhood days. Rev. Harpster has decided to leave his charge at Can- ton and will sail for Guntour, India, about October 1st, taking several months to arrive there, visiting all cities in Europe en route. He will be- come a missionary of the Lutheran church and with his wife will take No of a Lutheran mission. ———— —— ff — A Short Cat, An electrie road from Philipsburg to Bellefonte and Centre Hall would be a short cut.
