The building was of frame and in a short time the entire building was a roaring mass, Mr. Henney is an old gentleman and was confined to his bed with sickness at the time and it was with difficulty he was taken out. Owing to the loca- tion and lack of assistance, only a few household articles were saved, and the rest were destroyed with the building.

Stricken with Apoplexy. —Denth of Mrs, Klinger, The widow of Jesse Klinger, of Bellefonte, was found unconscious in bed early last Friday morning, from a stroke of apoplexy. She seemed in her usual health the evening before, cheerful and attending to little house- hold affairs, altho about 81 years of age. The attack was a severe one, as she was found blind, speechless and unconscious, She is the mother of Mrs. Simon Harper, of this place. She lingered until Sunday morning, when, at 4,80, the messenger called her hence, She was a Christian and a de- voted member of the Refor'd church.

Every reader of this paper will regret to learn that ex-treasurer J. J. Gramly has fallen into financial difficulties, for he is every inch a worthy man. Boon after the expiration of his term as treasurer he went into the grocery business in Bellefonte and on Friday last his store was closed by the sheriff, judgments to the amount of $10,000 having been entered up against him, We think our friend Gramly is pos sessed of real estate far beyond this and that no one is in danger of losing a dollar by him, and that, if let alone he will get over this trouble. Possi- bly the move upon him was uncalled for and more injury has been done him than good to any one else, as he is properly classed among those who will not purposely cheat any one out one dollar's honest debt. children, one of whom died about six months ago. The funeral services where held at the family residence, and were in charge of several secret societies, to which he belonged. Mr. Shearer was a former citizen of this valley and resided at Rebersburg. He was married to a daughter of Mr. Andy Bell, deceased, of Aaronsburg. eed fm m— Another Reet, A Seventh Day Adventist Mission- ary labored in Bellefonte a month or more ago, and succeeded in securing enough followers of his faith to start a Mission. The doctrines and beliefs of this sect are opposed in many lines to that taught by the other Christian de nominations. One of the prominent features is the observance of Saturday as the Sabbath day. The Missionary ereated no little stir in Bellefonte reli- gious circles by his teachings and his work was viewed with much appre hension by some. —— uu — The Patrons’ Pleale, ’ The executive committee at a recent September for the next pie-nic at Cen- tre Hall.

Thomas, mine inspector at Philipsburg, and his cousin, the little daughter of Matthew Morris, went in- to an out building at the home of the inspector to play, taking with them a number of matches, On entering they locked the door. In the building a bundle of straw had been stored, and shortly after the children entered the building neigh- bors saw smoke coming through the roof. The door was broken open and the children found near the door. Both were unconscious, the girl lying over the body of the boy. One leg of the latter was burned almost to a crisp and other portions of his body were badly burned. The little girl's injuries seem to be wholly internal, The little girl died from her iujuries, but the boy will likely recover. BOM no — ide Central Pa.

Philipsburg, the live town at the other end of the county wants a Board of Trade, and wants it bad too. Belle fonte wanted one too some months ago, and got it, along with a tremen- dous lot of enthusiasm, but the latter breed of cats seems to have petered out, and it is now seldom heard of.
