This is the case with Fishing Creek in Bugar Valley near its head. There is now only water in the deep holes, and the residents of the valley have placed the trout in these deep places in order to keep them alive. Fishing Creek was fully as low five years ago as it is now, and the trout were cared for that time in a similar manner, - ps Scarcity of Water In the Valley, Most of the small streams in Nit any Valley are entirely dried up and the farmers are greatly inconvenienc- ed. To procure water for the cattle and other live stock is considerable of a task and in some places they are driven three milesffto water. A rain of several days duration is badly need- ed.

A very pretty home wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander McCoy, at Potters Mills, last Thursday, when their ac- complished daughter, Miss Agnes, was wedded to Rev, A. D. Potts, of Pleas- ant Unity, Pa. Promptly at high noon the beauti- ful strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, rendered by Miss Jessie Durst, were struck up, and the wedding par- ty slowly filed into the room where the guests had assembled. The ush- ers, Mr. Samuel McCoy, brother of the bride, and Mr. E. M. Potts, of Phila- delphia, preceded the party. Follow- ing them was the groomsman, Mr. George Gongaware, of Philadelphia, and bridesmaid, Miss Maude Evans, of Potters Mills. The bride and groom came last. They took their places be- fore the minister, Rev, A. H. Parker, of Reedsville, assisted by Rev. Yontz, D. D., of Greensburg, Pa., and the couple were quickly made one. A delicious wedding feast was serv- ed in a large tent upon the spacious lawn. It had been carefully prepared, and it rapidly vanished before the guests, The bride received a large number of costly and useful presents from her friends. A beautiful gold watch and chain was her present from the groom. Mr. and Mrs. Potts were driven to Centre Hall and departed on the 4.01 train for Pleasant Unity, where Rev. Potts ably fills the pulpit of the Luth- eran church. Over one hundred guests were pres- ent, many coming from a distance, Wc fp A True Snake Story. The wife of John David Snook, liv- ing in New Lancaster Valley, about a mile and a half above Locke's Mills, was one of a party seeking for late huckleberries Betty's knob last Thursday, and vefore going home sat down to rest while the others visited a spring near by to quench their thirst. After the party had reached the foot of the mountain a daughter observed an unusual movement under Mrs. Snook’s dress and quickly called attention to it. It took bat moment for the alarming discovery to be made that a four-foot black snake had taken refuge in the folds of her clothing, and in shaking it out and getting out of the way Mrs. Bnook unfortunately gave her ankle a severe wrench which after- wards was the cause of considerable pain. The reptile was dispatched and its measurment taken.

A A ——— New Rallroad, It is again rumored that the railroad laid out from Selinsgrove to Mifflin- town will shortly be built. The road from Mifflintown down Path Valley is in course of construction and will likely be extended south to connect with the Baltimore and Ohio. This can easily be connected there with the Reading Road at Clement, opposite Sunbury. cecil isan Nine Appointments for Centre County, Centre county, the home of Gover- nor Hastings, has fared exceedingly well by this administration.

Nary a Centre Haller in It. We thought our pretty town and valley had some rich men, but we are mistaken, when we consult the regis- ter of the earth’s wealthy ones, The six richest men in the world are Li Hung Chang, John D. Rockefeller, Colonel North, the Duke of Westmin- ster, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Woh Qua, the Chinese tea magnate, whose total fortunes aggregate $1,080,000,000, Years ago the richest man in Penn's valley, was Daniel Reed, of Haines township, who died over a score of years ago, and was put down as being worth not less than a solid $75,000, which went to his children, Jacob Reed, of Aaronsburg, and Mrs. Noah Stover, of Millheim. Wedo not think our valley to-day can claim a farmer worth $75,000 to match farmer Reed, nor do we see any prospect of any one from this territory getting his name added as the seventh in the above list of unhappy rich men. steams ironies - Interesting Local Jottings, A festival will be held at the home of Daniel Ripka, near Spring Mills, on Saturday evening, Oct. 19, with ice- cream and other refreshments, Apples for boiling butter are selling at Z5¢. per bushel ; picked winter ap- ples bring 40 to 60c. per bushel, Cider sells at 5¢. per quart, Our grain dealers say they will pay only 30¢. per bushel for corn out of the field.
