Oliver Strick ler—ioth Drunk, ¥ Two drunken men, George W. Risb. el and P. Oliver Btrickler, both of Mifflinburg, became engaged io a mouth battle at the Commercial Hotel, Mifflinburg, Tuesday night of last week, when Btrickler struck Rishel with » beer bottle, felled him to the floor, and followed up with blows with his flat, Death followed within ten minutes, the blow with the bottle having fractured the skull. Both men were in the habit of drinking, and chancing to meet at the hotel named, together with compan- fons who had also gone there to drink, goon became engaged in a conflict of words, in which Harold Barber was also interested. Barber and Strickler made some expressions that enraged Rishel, who picked up a plate from the bar counter and threw it at Strick. ler, Then followed the assault that ended in Rishel’s death. The unfortunate man was about six- ty-five years of age. Besides his heart broken wife, he leaves two daughters—Mrs, Joseph Zieber, of Lewisburg and Mrs. 8. J. Rote, of Mifflinburg ; algo two sisters—Murs. H. FE. Gutelius and Mrs, H. Michael Getz, of Lewisburg. Strickler was placed under arrest and lodged ip jail, 5 LOCALS, Mrs. George Gates, of Nittany, was granted a pension of twelve dollars a month. Esther Bitner, the young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bitoer, of Tusseyville, was a guest at the home of the Misses Geiss over Bunday. I'he Lutheran missionary confer. ence held at Millbheim, last week, was by a goodly number of persons from Centre Hall and sur rounding points, The Reporter is pleased to state that Mrs. William Bressler returned from the Bellefonte hospital Saturday eve- ning, and that her condition is very much improved, she having been able to make the return trip in a vehicle, She had been at the hospital for five or gix weeks, t Monday morning Mr. and Mrs George IL. Goodhart, and Mr. and Mrs. D. W, Geiss and family went to Lewistown, where they were the guests of James M. Goodhart, one of Lewistown's prominent and substan tial citizens, After an illness of several months, during much of which time her condi tion was quite serious, Mrs. J. Frank Smith, is daily growing stronger and is at present able to be about the house and enjoy the company of her friends who eall frequently. Mr, and Mrs. Arbur Ocker and daughter are guests of Mr, and Mrs. Charles Weaver, west of Centre Hall, They are natives of Union county, bat have lived in Ballevue, Ohio, for a number of years, where Mr. Ocker is a railroad locomotive engineer on the Nickle Plate system, Charles D. Bartholomew, who Is making the growing of poultry and the production of eggs a business, is making extensive improvements on his poultry farm, near the Centre Hall railroad station. He recently pur. chased what is known as the William Emerick property, near the J. A. Keller farm, east of Centre Hall, and razed the buildings and thea recon- structed them on his poultry farm. Many other improvements were also made with a view of accommodating a large number of fowls during the Ne season. James A. Keller is back from his trip to the south, where he visited his sou Rev. John H. Keller, at Hickory, North Usrolipa. He had a very de- lightful trip. Harvesting is over in that state, and there were plenty ripe peaches, apples, etc. When ssked what he thought of the south, Mr, Keller gave this significant reply : * This country looks mighty good to me ; & man who can’t make a living here cau do so no where in the south, but he might live with a little less work. There was an excess of rain in North Carolinas, the same as here, which interfered with harvesting the crops. * ; Col. W. Fred Reynolds has deeded to the Bellefonte hospital the land in thie resr of the Evangelical church, ex tending from the esstern boundary of the present hospital grounds to the «rond running along the west side of the dam, containing a little more than two scres, according to a statement in the Watchman, The grounds will be cleared of all stone and rubbish, a roadway built through them and thus converted into a hospital park. Beats will also be built at various places in t 1e park which will afford a delightful retreat for lounging or the recreation of convalescing patients. Col. Reynolds is to be commended on his generosity in thus giving to the hospital ground for » park and if his sction was emu- lated by others who are able to do so attended stitution it would render less dif. « cult the matter of sustaining the hos : pital in the work It is doing, LR—— LETTELS FROM rUBSCHIBERS, Reporter Subscribers’ Correspondence Col. umn-—-New Department “ditor of the Reporter : The letter in your issue of June 9th, written by Rev A, A. Kerlin, surpris- ed me almost like a voice from the dead. Muany times I have wondered what became of my old teacher whose kind words. and chastening rod con- tributed very materially to whatever of success that has come to me through the trials and vicissitudes of hall a century. 1 used the term chastening rod realistically, Once I felt its weight on my back, wielded by his hand that atl the time seemed to me to be attached to the arm of Vulcan, It came in this way: I had traded a ball for a sponge, and if I recall the matter, it was the only one in school and I had to loan it a dozen times each day to clean the slates of my fellow pupils, One day a class was called up for recitation and John Lonebarger belonged toit. He and I were seal- mates and as he was returning to his seat I conceived a brilliant idea, namely : I had my sponge soaked full of water and as John was in the act of seating himself, I quietly slipped the sponge under him. When the water percolated through his pantaloons and connected with his epidermis, there went up a whoop that would have shamed a Comanche “Indian. And right there I missed out on my fun- ny business, Mr. Kerlin Invited me to come foreward and be a party lo a lit- tle seancg that I had neglected to note on the bills, What he did to me with a Nittany mountain hickory rod was a plenty and some to spare. It swish. ed through the alr like the tail of a frightened western mustang and found its way through my jabs most like a northwestern blizzard. Right then and there I wished I had never traded my ball for a sponge that could hold s pint of water and more genuine misery than a famine and an epidemic smallpox could bring. But I outlived the whipping and learned wisdom from the experiecca, But the name of ** Pige Blump”’ school house brings back to my mind the recoliections of my earlier boy- hood days. I remember well the old pine stump that stood between Lhe school house and the public road lead- ing to Centre Hall. It was about the height of the school house, but my It stood there built and the squarely on the top. when the house was it was sawed off and trict the name that now attaches to it The ravages of time made their io- roads on the stump the same 8s on jhose who went to school there, In course of time it began to decay and woodpeckers bored into the sappy part nad built their nesta in its sides in the * good old summer time.” day when the teacher, does not occur to me at this time, went to dinner a number of boys, among them being myself, cut down the stump. When the teacher came back from dinner he was furious bee cause an ancient land mark had been despoiled. He made us cut it ap into wood and until the Yssk was done he did not allow us recess privileges, Of the boys and girls who went lo school when Mr, Kerlin was teaching I can not recall half of them and can locate bul few, I have often long- ed to commune with them and to hear their sweet voices and to listen to the songs we used to sing. Happy and free from care were those days. E. B. GARVER, Grant City, Missouri. From Oxford, Kansas, Mrs B. F Brown, writes this: Everythiog in the farming sections looks fioe here, except the wheat, which is not very good. The oats look splendid, the corn is already knee-high and aleo looks fine, 1oo, There will be a good crop of peaches, which means much to this section, as almost every body has a large peach orchard. We have had an abundance of rain this summer, 1 often think of old Pennsylvania, A Lo AAAI John H. Krumbine, Vintondale, furniture dealer and undertaker, has this to say : * Business in all lines continues slow here ; everything was dull so long that it takes time to patch up. Living is very high, and there are no prospects of it getting cheaper soon.
