Smithgall, o Austin, arrived in Centre Hall Satur. day to remain for a short time. They came to Bellefonte on account of the death of Miss Apne Harris, an inti- mate friend of Mrs. Smithgall.

The material in the old Reporter office will be used sheds on the farm of Prof. H. F. Bit- ner, south of Centre Hall, and at Millbeim Mrs, W. K. Alexander sold a small barn on her lot to W. J Mauck, who will take it down, haul it to Nittany, and set it up again. A week or 80 ago it was anpounced in these columns that Charles E. Me- Clellan had sold bis property in Mill heim, and now he purchased the lot from Jerome BSpigelmyer, adjoining Dr. F. E. Gutelius on the east, which is in the burnt district in Millbeim. Clellan will at once begin the erection of a store building, and hopes to have it completed for occupancy by the first of May or thereabouts, The site is an admirable one for business. The Pennsylvania Railroad Compa- ny made no charge for running the extra train from Bellefonte to Coburn on the day of the Millheim fire. The cost ordinarily would have been some- thing over three hundred dollars, but when s bill was asked for by that borough, Mr. Hutchinson, the Belle. fonte agent, was equipped with author- ity to say that no charge had been made. This act was one of genuine generosity shown the Millhelm bor- ough, and one which that town will not be able to repay in favors of any character since the company’s road does not pass through the Millheim borough limita, Now one of the leading mercantile firms in Millheim is A. A. Frank & Bons. Mr. Frank has been in business in Millheim for quite a long time, and has been one of the most successful merchants in lower Penns Valley. During the recent fire, his store bulld- ing and large stock of goods were all burned, and the loss was considerably in excess of the insurance carried. He is now preparing to rebuild on a larger scale, and has given his sons, Harry T. and Thomas K. Frank, an interest ia the business, The young men had previously assisted their father in con- ducting his business, and have shown themselves worthy of being named in the firm.

In 1867 Small Eyes, a Blackfoot who had come down from the north and Joined the Arapahoes and lived with them, told Black Kettle, a Cheyenne in George Bent's lodge, about having killed, between the Clmarron and leaver creek, a tributary of the north fork of the Canadian, a buffalo bull which had only one hind leg. Accord- ing to Small Eyes’ story, it did not ap- pear that the bull had lost one of its hind legs, but rather that it never had had more than one. The hind leg was very large, seemed to be in the mid- dle of the body Instead of at one side, and there was no sign of any missing leg. It looked as if the two hind legs which the buffalo ordinarily has had in some way fused together The war party with which Bmall Eves was traveling was passing along near a hollow when the bull came up out of it, and sonfe of the men ran ahead, got around It and shot It with a gun It was not able to run fast, but rather hobbled along. —Forest and Stream Saved by a Photograph.
