Durst, of which estate Mre. Wagner is admipistratrix, Wilbur Henney is laid up for re- pairs, haviog fallen down a pair of steps at his stable on Friday and broke several ribs, He imagines that were the break in some one else's back, sand they wanted it done, he could plate them and make them just a8 good as new. The sale of cows and young cattle, advertised by W. O. Gramley, at Bpring Mille, for Tuesday, March 14th, bas been changed from an afternoon sale to a morning sale, the hour for beginning being 9:30 o'clock. An- other sale in that vicinity is the reason for the change. Henry 8. Meyer, vice-mayor of Williamsport, has paid the costs and discontinued his action for criminal libel againet the editor of the Will- iamsport Sup, who in noticing the ac- tion of Mr, Meyer, repeals the original charges. Mr, Meyer is a native of Potter township, and lived near here until having attained manhood, J. B. Bolt, proprietor of the Fred- erick ( Maryland ) Auto Garage, and a former resident of Centre Hall, sent the Reporter a copy of the Frederick Post containing an sccount of a farm sale that footed up over $11,100, The sale was attended by about two thous- and persons, Cows sold for se much re $270 each, but horses were topped at but $175.

He coms here to deliver a trial sermon, and there is a possibility of the Presby- terian congregation extending him a call to become pastor of the church whose pulpit bss been made vacant by the death of Rev. W. Henry Schuyler, Ph. D. Rev. Wissinger is a member of the Blsirville Presbytery and comes well recommended, connection with the account of “Uncle Ephraim’s Summer Board- ere,” the name of William Garis was inadvertently omitted, William play~ ed too important a part in the per- formance to be slighted in this man- ner, for it was his *“ winning ways” with the daughter of Uncle Ephraim that resulted in everything being met- tiled so satisfactorily and the old farm from passing away by the mor! gage route. William was known as Ralph Briggs, and it may be sald that if be would work the courtship game off the stage with anywhere near the ardor he manifested on the atage, he would early rank among the Bene- dicts, ' Steel Cars on LL. & T,.
