Mrs. Rishel's death was with- out premonition, and was quite a shock to that community, She had been in her customary good health and on that morning was up and around as well as usual, She had gone to the barn to attend to chores and while re- turning, staggered and fell. Her grand-daughter, Miss Emma Swartz, saw the aged lady fall and ran at once to her assistance, but the vital spark had already fled and life was extinct. Death was supposed to have been caus- ed by heart trouble. Mrs, Rishel’s age was over eighty years, and she is sur- vived by one daughter, Mrs. SBamuel Swartz, at Tusseyville, On March 1st, last, just two months previous, the death of her husband oe- curred under almost similar circum- stances and it is a strange coincidence that his aged wife should follow him to the dim beyond in so short a period of time and without any warning or previous illness, Mrs. Rishel was a native of Clinton county. She was a devout Christian lady and a member of the United Evangelical church. The funeral will take place on Fri- day morning at 9.30 o'clock at Tussey- ville. Interment will be made in the United Evangelical cemetery, z | The announcement last week of the recommendation of the appointment of the sensus enumerators for Centre county did not include the district of Centre Hall.

A Relie, In the Reporter office is a relic from away back, aun iron hand press, known as the Bmith press. A hundred years ago, or over, it was used to print the old Lycoming Gazette, at Willlams- port, and was in service in that office until 1868, when it was purchased for the Reporter office and its issues for one year printed from it, wheu a pow- er press was required for a rapidly in- creasing circulation. We are using it now as a proof press. Theodore Wright editor-in-chief of the Philadelphia Reo ord, who was proprietor of the Lycom, ing Gazette near half a century ago, pulled this press and did some to wear the deep hollow in its lever.

Muncy re cently lost an industry employing five hunderd hands because the citizens of the town were continually giving it a black eye.
