House Barned,
On Saturday afternoon the large
house on the farm of Mr. George Dale,
at Dale’s Summit, near Lemont,
caught fire and was entirely destroy-
ed. The family occupying the same
succeeded in getting the most of their
furniture out,;but some of it was burn-
ed. The origin of the fire is a myste-
ry. The loss is about $2,500, partially
insured.

Festival,
The base-ball nine of this place, will
hold a festival in Smith's grove, at the
lower end of town, next Saturday
evening, the 22nd. Ice-cream, cake,

tions of the evening will be a grand
cake walk. All are invited.

Potato Bags Galore,
Potato bugs are showing themselves
quite numerous, much to the annoy-
ance of potato raisers who find it ne-
cessary to fire Paris green at the pests
to keep them down. The dry weather
we are having, no doubt, is favorable
to the breeding of this insect.
Bikes and Bikers,
On Sunday, noon, the front of the
hotel here, was fenced in with bicyles,
while back of them stood a little regi-
ment of riders enjoying the shade.
They were principally from Bellefonte
and were making use of Sunday as a
“day of rest.”
Sanday School Plonle,
The picnic season will be opened
by the Reformed Sunday school; they
will hold their picnic in the grove at
the Fort today. It isa basket pienic
and we know the day will be one
much enjoyed by all present.

of Rebersburg, will preach in the Lu-

Was a Success,
The festival held in Allison's grove
last Saturday evening by the Potter's
Mills Cornet band was a great success,
The boys had engaged the Milroy band
to furnish musie for the occasion, and
a pleasant time was had by the large
crowd, while the boys cleared fifty-five
dollars. This band has been lately or-
