Twenty Members Added to the Reformed Congregation at Chis Place. On Saturday evening last Rev. 8, H. Eisenberg held a special service in the Reformed church at this place, at which ten young persons were made members of the church by confirma- tion. At the communion service held on Sunday morning ten persons were also received by certificate, making, in all, twenty members added to the con- gregation at this time. At the latter service the church was completely filled by the large congre- gation present. The service was im- pressive and the sermon of the usual very able and excellent character of the sermons always enjoyed by Rev. Eisenberg’s hearers. A special collection, which will be devoted to foreign missions, was tak- en. Under the pastorate of Rev. Eisen- berg the Reformed congregation has been enjoying a period of marked prosperity and progress. It has in- creased in numbers and the zeal of its members in all Christian activity has been kept awakened to a degree most praiseworthy. Mr. Eisenberg isa man of fine education, in which he keeps fully abreast of the times, a preacher of great ability and a pastor who is dear to the hearts of all his people. While he remains at its head, his pres- ent charge can feel assured of its con- tinued prosperity. eile imi ini SUDDEN DEATH, eart Disease Causes the Death of Lewis Mussleman, Lewis Musselman, a resident of Cen- tre Hall, living on Water street, very suddenly last Friday evening at his home, of heart disease, at the age of over 72 year. Mr. Mussleman had been down town that evening and in his usual health, and was suffering from no se- rious ailment. He went to his home, and about nine o'clock was suddenly taken ill, and in a short time expired. The body was taken to the home of his son-in-law, John Puff, on Sunday evening, where religious services were held by Rev 8. H. Eisenberg. On Monday morning the remains were taken to Selinsgrove on the 7.06 train, where they were interred in the ceme- tery at that place. The corpse was taken in charge by the Odd Fellows of which order the deceased was a member, and under the rites of the order it was interred.

Owing to the disagreeable weather the committee appointed to make ar- rangements for the proper observance of Arbor Day in Bellefonte, decided to postpone the exercises until Friday the 27th day of April. The cold weather would prove injurious to planting young trees. It is a good idea to postpone it until then.

DEATH OF MRS, JOHN McCOY, At Potters Mills, on Friday Morning Last, On Friday morning last, at four o'clock, Mrs. John McCoy died at her home at Potters Mills, aged seventy- four years. The cause of her death was neuralgia of the heart, from which she had been suffering during the past winter and which became worse about a week before her death. Mrs, MeCoy was widely known and respected as a consistent Christian wo- man and her death is a cause of sorrow to a host of sincere and loving friends. She was an active and highly-esteem- ed member of the Presbyterian church. The funeral, at which Rev. Basker- ville officiated, took place on Bunday afternoon. Interment was made in the Centre Hill cemetery, Mrs. McCoy is survived by her hus- band and five children, Alex, at home, John, in California, Mrs. Robert Sar- tain, of Mercersburg, Pa., Mrs. J.

At the fire which destroyed Lose's steam saw mill in Brush valley about three weeks ago, a boy named Houtz, aged about fourteen years, who was subject to falling fits, took a spell when the fire started and fell into the flames near the furnace. One of the men saw the boys predicament almost Immedi- ately and at once picked him up and threw him into a stream close at hand to extinguish his burning clothes. It turned out the unfortunate lad was badly burned in face and hands, It was since found necessary to ampu- tate one of his hands and the chances are that the other hand may also need amputation, The boy's life is still in danger. marae af m— Four-Weeks-Old Bride Dies, The community of Salona wus sad- dened Sunday afternoon by the sud- den death of Mrs. Nora Knapp, who only four weeks ago became the bride of William Knapp. Mrs. Knapp was bright and cheerful as usual during the day, but after three o'clock was suddenly seized with a sinking spell; her husband laid her down and quick- ly sent for a physician. Before the physician arrived, however, the lady expired. Heart disense was the cause of death. The deceased was a daugh- ter of Jacob Miller, of Brockwayville, who formerly resided in Salona. She was in her twentieth year. es —————. Musionl Works.

Ducks Eat the Spawn and Oateh Live Fish from our Streams, With all the stocking done to our trout streams fish are becoming scar- cer each year and we are attributing it all to illegal fishing by men. But we learn there is another, and far greater reason for It in the ducks along creeks which fish day and night all the year round. This was brought to ourknowlege the other day by our friend, Fred. Decker, of near Lemont, who gave our office a call. Ducks continually scour the streams eating up the spawn and feed- ing upon live fish with an insatiable appetite. Mr, Decker tells us he has seen ducks bring suckers out of the water, 10 to 12 inches long, two or more ducks having hold of it, and de- vouring the fish on shore. A small stream near his home, some years ago, was alive with trout, finally ducks were raised along the creek and in a few years it was entirely depopu- lated, the fish and spawn having been devoured by the ducks. We think Mr. Decker’s observations are correct, this cause of the destruction of fish is quite plausible and needs looking af- ter. All who follow the streams have noticed the many ducks along the wa- ter busy as bees, The fish laws should be amended to apply to ducks as well as to men, and owners of ducks should not be allowed to leave them cruise the streams to the utter destruction of fish. Any one de- siring to have ducks can easily limit them to an artificial pond fed from a rivulet on the premises or from a gut- ter connecting with the main stream. Ducks surely should not be allowed to destroy fish any more than men, and they evidently are more danger- ous as they destroy the spawn and the fish. re — a —— New Spring Goods Wolf & Crawford are now in the eastern cities purchasing their stock of goods for the spring trade. Their purchase of Dress Goods and Dry Goods in the past is sufficient guaran- tee that the stock to be purchased will be equal and far better than any here tofore brought to the valley. The se lections made will all be of the latest styles and shades, at prices that will be in accordance with panic times. The goods will arrive by Saturday when they will be opened for the in- spection of the public which is cordi- ally invited. You need not purchase, only look at the goods. They are sure to please both the eye and the purse; wait for them and see the latest out in everything. ini ——— Will Use a Stencil.

Henry Potter is erecting a new ten- ant house on his farm. Jared Kraemer, of Boalsburg, while visiting friends here last week got snowed up, which prolonged "his stay two days, and gave him a chance to listen to some big stories, Frank Bhutt returned from Stone- mill the other day and reports doing big business in his new place. Stricken by Paralysis, Mrs. Micheal Musser, of Aaronsburg had a severe attack of paralysis, a few days ago, leaving her one side para- lized, and in a critical condition.

Baking Powder A Strong Temperance Object Lesson. "Squire Patton has a bottle of beer in his office which was taken from an Italian who was killed on the railroad at this place several months ago, says the Huntingdon News. He has offer- ed the bottle of beer to a score or more persons without money or any other consideration than simply to take it away, but not one has accepted the of- fer and the "Squire is likely to keep the bottle for an indefinite period. The bottle is sealed and the beer is just as { good as any beer that is sold in the sa- loon, but the thought that it was tak- en from a dead man’s body is repug- nant to the taste, and nobody wants it. The other day the 'Bquire offered it to a person who is known to be inor- dinately fond of beer. He took the bottle in his hand and was about to put it into his pocket, when the "Squire related the circumstances under which he obtained the beer, but before he had finished the story the man handed the bottle back and, with a look of disgust, remarked that he didn’t want it, That bottle of beer should be present- ed to some temperance society, to be used as an object lesson to demonstrate that, while liquor does kill people, no- body wants to drink liquor found on a dead man’s body. esas fp A ———— Minor Locals of Interest.

Whose fame and doings are probably household words in every hamlet in this and other countries; but I am sorry to know that I have a nephew who is such a big fool as to imagine himself a second Savior upon earth.” Mr, Coxey seems to have the correct idea of things, even if he is an uncle of the famous Captain of the Commonweal army. and less Marriage Licenses.
