burg, received by Bherifl Lee, bears
out the foregoing. Two of the lables
are in the county bastile, one in the
home of the sherifl’s brother-in-law,
Ebon Bower, in Bellefonte, and the
fourth is at Tusseyville, in the home
of C. A. Miller, aleo a brother-in-law
of Bheriff Lee.
One of the tables exhibited in the
hallway of the jail is made up of 24 600
pieces of all Kinds of hard wood, s0ome
pleces belong less than a quarter of an
fuch equare and others ranging from
one to two inches, The inlaid work
represents the most beautiful designs,
each piece of wood, no matter how
small, joined to the surroundiog pieces
so perfectly that only the different
colors of the wood reveal the dividing
lines, Bome designs are worked out
in varylogsiz:s. So cleverly are many
of these arranged that when viewed
from diferent angles some of the
pieces of wood seem to be raised a half
fooch or more above the others. The
suriace of the table, however, is perfect.
