of his new farm house completed, ard

Yoluntary Contribations,
With the best calculations there are
always unforseen expenses on an oces-
sion like the Dr. Wolf reunion to be
held August 7, and in order to meet
the now koown and the unforseen ex-
penses incident to the occasion, the
finance commitlee requests that each
student make n small contribution to
ward the fund to be used for that pur-
pose. Remittances can be made to
Hou. Wm. M. Allison, Spring Mills.
The other members of the finance com-
mittee are, Rev. A. E. Gobble, D. D.,
New Berlin; W. M. Grove, Esq, Cen.

Hall; A. C. Ripka, Centre Hill.

Penns Valiey Intellect Recognized,
Prof. J. Frank Meyer, principal of
the Lower Merion High School, near
Philadelphia, has accep'ed a position
fn the University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, as instructor in physics,
and will therefore become a member
of the faculty of that institution. The
position came to him without outside
influence being brought to bear, or
even an informal request on the part
of Mr. Meyer —merit opened the door,
Prof. Meyer is ason of J. B Meyer,
Esq, of Penn Hall, a graduate of
Franklin and Marshall College and af-
terward took a post-graduating course
at Johns Hopkins University. He is
a young man of pleasant address and
entirely upassumiog in manners and
will be heard from later.
The University of Pennsylvania
recently gradusted five hundred and
seven students. Three thousand grad-
- ustes returned for the celebration of
alumni day.
SMALL FRUIT GRO WING,
tervier, Plams, Cherries, Givaper, Poche n,
ste, are Heevaving AtLlention,
The growing of small fruit Is receiv.
ing considerable attention by lot own-
ers in and adjweent to Centre Hall,
The cutting up of a portion of the Hof-
fer farm into quarter acre lots by
Messrs. Arvey and Mingle, about four-
ten years ago, gave choice territory
for the growing of all kinds of vegeta-
bles and small fruit. These lots lying
east of Hofler street, were quickly
bought up, and today are worth con-
siderable more than was paid the orig-
inal owners, On some of these lots
pretty homes have been erected, oth-
ers are used for pasture lots, others are
set to fruit which will be bearing ere
long.
Ou the lots of Messrs. Mingle and
Brisbin are growlog great varieties of
thrifty fruit trees, vines #nd canes,
These lots rival the fruit plot of Hen-
ry Witmer, when in its prime bearing,
more then twenty-five years ago.
Messrs, Frank Arpey and Harry
Dioges also have growing a great vari-
ety of fruit. They have entered the
fruit growing business for profit, and
are today marketing a large number of
choice raspberries, which have been
carefully cultivated and scientifically
pruned since setting in the soil,
No one unacquainted with fruit
growing can properly conceive the
great quantity of fruit that can be
grown on a small plot, unless he enters
upon the premises of ove of these gen-
tleruen for inspection. Neither can
the amount of care and labor necessa-
ry to grow fruit be properly conceived
until these young men, or others en-
gaged in the same business, are led in-
to talking the matter over,
The beavy crop and the prices ob-
tained for berries, is leaving the grow-
er none the poorer for his work.

Rain and Hall,
Considerable rain fell this, Thurs-
day, morning. At State College a grest
quantity of hail fell, but did no partic-
ular damage.

A Disappointing Crop,
The prospects for an oats crop in
Penns Valley could searcely be better.
The late rains developed the oat stalks
like magic, and where a few weeks ago
the best judgment of man declared the
crop must be a failure, today there is
material evidence that a fipe crop may
be reaped.

Brungart Elected st MiMinbarg.
Prof, Edward L.. Brungart, of Re-

Prof. U. R. Nefl as principal of the
Mifflinburg High School. For two

position in Cross Forks, Potter coup-
ty, and was offered an increase In sala-

FPremioms for Gold Dollars,
The United States gold dollar is so
scarce that daalers in old and rare
coins are advertising everywhere for
them, offering from $1.50 to §3 apiece
for as many as they can get. Bince
15880 the United States Mints have not
coined any gold dollars.
Those marked C. (Carson City) are
worth from §1 70 to $2.50. Those mark-
ed I. (Denver) are worth from $2 to
$2.50; those marked 8. (San Francisco)
are worth from $2 to $5, and those
without any mark, indicating they
were minted in Philadelphia, are
worth from $1.50 to $1.70.

The Swindler,
The country papers are full of ao
counts of swindlers practicing their
wiles on country folks, who persist in
dealing with strangers in a manner
that would cause immediate suspicion
if his nearest neighbor or dealer, whom
he knows all about, would suggest it.
To avoid being swindled, deal with
men you know; deal with firms who
sdvertise their business and methods
in newspapers, because they are not
ashamed of them. The swindler who
travels through the country aims to
keep his business out of the publie
press; avoids the county newspaper
the same as he does a police, Beware
of strangers; patronize the man you
know,
Bosisharg Lutheran FPastorage.
At arpecial meeting of the Joint
Counell of the Boalsburg Pastorage of
the Evangelical Lutheran church,
which met at Shilo, on Tuesday, July
8, 1902, to consider the resignation of
Rev, G. W. Leisher as pastor, the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted :
Whereas, Rev. G W. Lebhher has served us
most eMclently and acceptably for almost nine
years, and now a ks us to scoept his res'guation

ated by us all, therefore be it

that we acoept the resignation ofour very faith.

selfishly for the building up of our congregadon
and the strengthening of our spiritual lives

bas been advanced fo our congregation by the
noble and untiring efforts and patient labors of
Rev. Leisher and his very excellent family,
Resolved, Theat without exceptions his ser.
mons were always appreciated, as they were
thoughtful, practical and brim-full of spiritual
nourishment,
Resolved, That we pray God's blessing upon
Rev. G. W. Lelsher and family, as they go from
us, and we commend them to the confidence of
all Christian people.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
given Rev. Lefaher snd that they be published in

COMING TO THE RESCUE,
Fhe Wetehman Tukes the Stand of the He
porter on the School Question,
The Democratic Watchman, in a
recent lssue, in speaking of the Belle-
fonte public schools, says :
“ We do hope that both the board and teachers
will unite in an effort to pay more attention to a
few of the rudimentary] studies in our schools,
The spelling aud grammar of our High school
graduates has been such as to eall forth serious
question as to the employment of the scholars
time, The latter Lranch, especially, is dropped
eatirely too soon fur the good of most all of them
and there is nothing that brands our schools as
inefficient so soon as the * I seen" “ I done " and
“1 have saw" expressions that can be heard
almost daily, when a few of the upper classmen
of the schools are gathered t gether, If it is
necessary to slight these very essential elemen-
tary studies in order to give time for others in
the course grade the schools up and make the
term a year longer. The girls and boys are belog
forced entirely too fast nowadays. They are
gradusted before thelr minds are mature enough
to comprehend the situation they find themselves
in."
This is precisely the position held
by the Reporter, and the argument
presented time and again in its
columus,
The same idea on the High School
question was presented so strongly
that the Reporter was regarded with
suspicion by the head of the public
schools of Ceutre county—the paper
was charged with insincerity or lack
of proper information on the subject,
The Watchman’s expression comes
at a very opportune time, and its
opinion should be regarded. The Re-
porter feels that it is no longer alone
in advocating that the higher branches
in the public schools should not be
taken up until pupils have thoroughly
mastered the common branches. Of
course, every newspaper in Centre
county will say that that was just ex-
actly its opinion, yet it permitted the
common branches to be sacrificed in
order that public school scholars might
study Latin, ancient history, geome-
try, ete, before they had a clear con-
ception of what they were about to do,
without entering a protest,
A bLitofspurriog up of the education-
al leaders by the newspapers will work
wonders in bringing back the public
school system to a practical, sensible
basis,
First the common branches-
in’, 'ritin’, 'rithmetic, grammar,
graphy—then as much more as can be
crammed into the head.
