Pastor Charles Wagner, the French clergyman-sauthor of * The Bimple Life,”’ writes of his visit at the White House, and with simple direct- ness tells of the children and the household life of the President as he saw them. Among the exhibits of special inter est to the writer was a plate of garden huckleberries, raised by Peter Breon, of Milibeim. These berries have been cultivated by Mr, Breon for several years, They aie larger than the moun. tain berry, and have the general ap- pearance of the common ‘poke berry.” They begin to ripen about the first of August, and continue to yield fruit until the frosts come. The grower states that the berries make pies of no less delicious flavor thau the mountain huckleberry. Monday of this week Frank Blooms ster returned to Kasson, McKean county, his home, after having been in Centre Hall for several months. While here he was engaged as a drill er, by Contiactor Brown, in putting down the test well. Mr. Bloomster is a young man of many good traits, and left Centre Hall with a good imprese sion of the town and its inhabitants, He reluctantly took his leave, and his acquaintances were just as sorry to see him depart, av every one wishes him well in the future.

E. Harshbarger, of Philadelphia, to take his vacation at this time and spend the time at Potters Mills with his pa- rents, Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Harshbarg- er, and, of course, attend the picnic, Mr. Harshbarger fitted himself for the ups and downs in life at the Schisler College, Norristown, and for the past three years has been in the city of Brotherly Love. He is at present bookkeeper at the wholesale notion house of Sullivan Brothers, and they are fortunate in securing the services of such a steady, honorable young man. The Encampment and Fair at Cen- tre Hall was not quite as great an af- fair as the Lewis and Clark Exposi- tion, but to Mr, and Mrs. M. L. Smith, of Johnstown, who just returned from the western show, the gathering af forded much pleastire. Here they met old friends and associates, a pleasure not on tap in Portland, Oregon. While in the far west, Mr. and Mrs. Smith also attended the Grand Army Ene campment, at Denver, Colorado, Mr. Smith is one of the prospering, fortu- nate lads in the Flood City ; each year he builds a new dwelling with the rentals received during the preceding year, Hoon.
