Young and Old Alike Enjoying Themselves Pienleing and Camping, The picnic season in our valley and county is at its best now, and will keep up until the weather is too cool. Young and old are bent upon enjoying |! themselves, picnicing and camping— Sunday schools, churches, bands, soci- eties and social circles are in it right along and on the go. The rage for this kind of pleasure seeking has in- creased to an extent to induce the lo- cation of special parks in different quarters for the accommodation of all who hunger and thirst for an outing, while nature's forests and our moun- tain wilds with their rippling streams and fresh water springs and fresh air are much resortod to to escape the heat and get a week's enjoyment at little This is healthy and as en- oyable as the fashionable sea side re- Youdon’'t get tired of romantic mountains as soon as you ocean waves—the changing and the nusic of the laughing brooks dispels ull ennui.

He was stricken with paralysis on last Wed- nesday, and never recovered from the stroke, gradually growing weaker un- til the end came, Mr. Noll was one of the oldest and most respected citizens in his vicinity, and was aged 86 years, 7 months and 26 days. He was born in Lebanon county at Sheridan Station, and re- moved to Centre county in 1827, and settled sometime after upon the farm where he died, living upon the home- stead for over fifty years. He was a man robust in health, scarcely knowing a sick day in all his life, His belief in the principles of the Democratic party were strong, and was an influential man in his com- munity. He was the father of five three sons and two daughters. They are, Wm. H. Noll, Jr.,, Bamuel Noll, and Susan Noll, all residing at Pleas- ant Gap; John Noll, of Bellefonte, and Mrs. Lucy Btine, in Oklahoma Territory.

Immediately after the whole roof was ablaze, In the barn were two horses, one belonging to Mr, Shaffer and the other belonging to Mr, Johnson, of Jacksonville, a son-in-law who, with his family was visiting Mr. Shaffer, for the day. Men ran to lead the horses out of the building, but when they entered the stable they found that both animals had been struck by the lightning, the one dead and the other dying. The dead horse presented a sickening sight, the marks of the stroke being visible all over the body. The barn burned so fast that the men did not save anything but a few articles, which they hastily grab- bed and carried to a safe place. The barn, the two dead animals, sixteen tons of hay, about sixteen tons of straw, a quantity of chop and wheat, one or two vehicles: and lee house, were entirely consumed, Mr. Shaffer formerly was the hotel keeper at Coburn, A short distance Lightning Causes wood from the Shaffer buildings was the barn owned by N.
