Quite a curiosity was discovered on a farm in Patton township, this coun- ty, the other day while laborers were clearing away rubbish on the side of a hill to get a field ready for plowing. It was the entrance to a cave, This cave is a great curiosity in many ways. There was a small open- ing which had become filled up with rubbish and dirt, which, after having been cleared out, was seen to be over three feet square, so that a person could crawl in on his hands and knees. The passage was about twenty feet long and opened into a large room about twenty feet square and nine feet high, having the appearance of having been cut by human hands. This must have been a good while ago, as there was quite a lot of the most beautiful stalactite and stalagmite formations of a calcareous nature. In several places in the floor there were large crevices, down which you could see and hear water running. From off this cavern room there runs a passage, through which you have to crawl for quite a distance, but which has not been thoroughly explored as yet, although it is thought that quite a lot of caverns will be found when the cave is thoroughly explored. The reason the cave is thought to have been cut out and these forma- tions believed to have grown since in this limestone country, where they grow rapidly, is the evidences of hewn niches and rough-cut pictures and hi eroglyphics. On the floor there wer many instruments of stone and burnt clay that were in very good condition. I'hey looked like Indian articles and the place had evidently been an In- dian habitation some two hundred years ago. The owner expects to de velop the cave in the near future to find out whether the passageway leads to more discoveries of asimilar nature, the limestone growth having nearly closed it up. i ——— Lemont Evangelical Charch, The REPORTER learns from an infor mant that the Lemont Evangelica church by virtue of certain stipula- tions which have not been adhered to is likely to be forfeited by the Esher wing. It appears that Mr. John I Thompson, of Lemont, donated the ground, ete, to the Evangel. Church Association, =o long as the Association worships in said church, and in case ot a failure to do so, the property is to re vert to Mr. Thompson. There having been no wosship held in this chureh under the Ev. As, for quite a period of time, Mr. Thompson now claims, with some plausibility, that the property re verts to him and that the Esher peo ple have forfeited their title. Mr. Thompson is a staunch Preshy terian, and if his position ean be legal ly maintained, he will turn the prop erty over to the Unit. Ev. Ch., with which he sympathises in its troubles, and because all, or nearly all, the Ev angelical people at Lemont, are in ac- cord with Bishop Dubs. Hs —— AA A SS Woodward Hastiog Varty. A party of hunters, ten in number, from Woodward, drove thro here » few days ago, bound for the “Green in Clearfield county, for a two weeks’ deer hunt ; the distance is some 70 miles, and they expected to reach their destination in a two days’ drive, We hope they will average at least one deer per day with some bears thrown in. We are inclined to think that game has been thinned out as muel in Clearfield county as in the once fa- mous 7 Moutain and Narrows districts of our own county. RI A SA err, Bellefonte's Coming Military Event. At a meeting of military officials at Bellefonte Saturday night it was de cided to dedicate the new $25,000 ar- mory being erected by Col. W. Fred Reynolds, of the Governor's staff, for Company B, of that place, December 14. The Governor and officers of the National Guard, as well as regular ar- my officers, will be present. It will be a great military event, AA Big Radish, Tuesday morning a radish was brought to the REPORTER office, which for size was bordering on a monstrosi- ty. It measured twenty-five inches in circumferance, and was fifteen inches in length. John Kelichan was the owner of it, and raised it at his home, about two miles west of Centre Hall, SI MP PI. Saved by His Mother, The little son of John Soyder, Pine Grove Mills, this county, was saved from death Saturday by his heroic mother. The lad fell into a mill race. His companions ran away in alarm, but Mrs. Snyder plunged into the wa- ter and rescued her son when life was almost extinet, woods" Got Out a Petition, Residents of Btone Valley have peti. tioned the Bellefonte Central railroad company to extend its line though that velley to Huntingdon, offering $75,000 and free right of way. ~Lewins, Bellefonte, has the most experienced cutter in these parts and at his establishment you can be suited in a manner befitting a princeand at at reasonable ble price. ~—Bubscribe for the BEPORTER, ALONG DRIVE, Edwin Gephort and Family Drove from Kunsas to Bellefonte, About ten years ago Edwin Gephart, son of J, P. Gephart, of Zion, left Cen- tre county to locate in the west. After traveling around for some time he set- tled down in Elk county, Kansas, Since that time he had not been home but in September last he concluded to visit his friends in Centre county and bring his family, consisting of a wife and four children with him. On the 9th of September he put his conclu- sions into practice by hitching two mules into a large spring wagon to make the journey of over fourteen hun- dred miles. He fitted the wagon up They then made the start coming by the way of Fort Beott, Kansas, Ceda- lia and Hanibal, Mo., Bpringfield, Ind., Columbus, Ohio, Pittsburg and Altoona, Pa. They passed through Bellefonte on last Sabbath morning and went through to Mr. Gephart's old home at Zion. They were on the road about forty- seven days and they only slept out of the wagon one night which was disa- greeablee. When night would over- take them they would stop, eat their supper and go to bed. The family kept well and greatly enjoyed the trip. They passed over high towering moun- tains, deep chasms and by fertile fields. The trip cost about $35.50.— Bellefonte Gazette, \ A new church is in contemplation to New Church, be erected this fall, as we learn, by the United Evangelical Church of Tussey- ville. The house of worship hereto- fore used by these people, was the Zi- on church, which, under the late su- preme cuurt decision falls to the Esher wing of the denomination, and our in- formant says about one-fourth of the old members : while the other three ourths will go with the U.

When it was discovered he had taken the laudanum two doctors were promptly summoned and they remain- ed with him and worked ardently all night to save his life, but to no pur- pose. He was aged about twenty-one years and we learn was the young man who got into trouble some time ago when a clerk in the Tyrone postoffice, by opening letters. I lS lL wo Wednesday evening after the elec- tion while we were spending an hour with Gen. Hastings in his sitting room, the tooting of approaching tin horns was notice that a juvenile band was coming, and soon the youngsters ascended the long flight of stone steps and landed upon the porch and right up to the sitting room window and let out a few tinhorn blasts, The govern- or-elect went out, told the boys he was glad to see them and if they came around in the morning he would have something for them. Here the leader spoke up and asked the General if the tooting disturbed him. “Oh no,” he replied, “I like to hear it, but it might waken the baby.” The boy In a sub- dued tone then addressed his eompan- ions : “Boys, let's go, we might waken the baby.” And they withdrew with the quietness of a mousing pussy. sro mss AA Greatly Elated Our esteemed legal friend, Chas, P. Hewes, is pleased beyond measure over the recent Republican victory—his joy wink since the election and he feels better than if he had been elected gov- ernor or judge. Charles took a lively hand in the contest and it seems his efforts counted some. Gov. Hastings might do worse than to have Charles where midmay between Zion church ind Tusseyville. Subscriptions are be- ing taken and preliminary steps were taken a few days ago to go on with the new building. Wm. Rishel has prom- ised $500 and a lot for the new church. Z On the Bargiars' Track, “ he party that robbed Long's store and post office at Potter's bank last week have been spotted. Their start- ing point seems to have been Spring Mills, four in the Jot and obtained their tools there. After the robbery bits of packages found on the road in- licated they had gone to Milroy. On Tuesday one of the suspected fel- lows was offering to sell some under- wear at the station in this place ; the fellow happening to see Mr. Long and MeClintick not far off, he took to his heels with the constable and several others in pursuit. He was | formerly from Milroy but for some | time has been living here, We learn since that this party made proof he was innocent. onstable A —-— - - Evan M.

A Curious Election Bet, A bet of $100 to one cent was made between two residents of Binghamton, N. Y., that Morton would defeat Hill, with this additional proviso: That for every vote that Morton received in ex- cess of Hill the Democrat should pay one cent to the Republican. As Mor- ton’s plurality is now over 150,000 the Democrat stands to over $1500, The winner insists upon the full con- ditions of the wager. ss A ie lose ee ————— i s——— Dr. Talmage Hesigns, Rev.
