THE OENTRE ‘ReponTen. THURSDAY, MAY | 18, 1016. Thirty-five Years Ago. July 19, 1883,—The apple crop In our county will not be abundant, the prospect being that there will be enough only for home consumption. James Duck, of Gregg township, has purchased a steam engine and thresher, On Friday last the dwelling of D. H. Rote, at Aaronsburg, was struck by lightning. The flash struck the chim- ney and passed down into the kitchen upsetting the cook stove, C. W. Burd, of Asronsburg, while engaged in taking down the scaffold- ing after plastering the new church at Coburn, a few days ago, fell, breaking the right arm above the wrist, I'he trial of binders took place on the Huston farm, near Centre Hall, on Monday afternoon, Four machines appeared on the ground, a twenty- acre fleld of fine wheat with a few spots that were lodged. 'vhe machines were the Wood, the Osborne, the Deering and the Champion. There were probably 100 spectators present, some from quite a distance, The team to each binder conelsted of three horses, and sll good stout animals. The binders went to work together, one being a short distance ahead of the other, thus rounding the field all afternoon, with a short stop at each round. There was no committee of judges appointed and each ove very properly was left to judge the work of the binders himself. The machines and their work were carefully scrutin- ized, Taking them altogether there was not a binder which was not thought to be worth having or which anyone felt like condemning. Each one appeared to have some particular point in its favor. Peter Breopn, ten- ant on the farm, and an experienced farmer of good judgment, after cloee observation, intending to select the mschine which in his jodgment seemed best, fixed upon the Deering, and purchased it. John Harper, on the adjoining farm, purchased a Wood binder. I——— A ——————— The Coming Circus, Sparks World Famous Bhows are billed to exhibit at Bellefonte, Thurs- day, May 23, and from the newspaper reports preceding them their exhi- bition will be worlh going many miles to witness, Of the many features carried by the show this season, some of the Animal Acts are without doubt the most wonderful and thrilling ever presented to an American sudience. The big groupe of fighting forest-bred lione, all full grown males, give an exhibition that is full of thrills, and the audience is left with a positive feeling of awe at man’s wonderful mastery over the brute creation. Another extraordinary festure with the show is Capt. Wesley's troupe of educated Seals and Sea Lions. These interesting sea animals perform the most seemingly impossible feats ; bal- ancing chairs, umbrellas and whirling brands of fire while climbing ladders, walking tight ropes and riding Lhe backs of galloping horses, This feature baffles description and must be seen to be appreciated, Many other wonderful things ate to be seen with this mammoth show, and the main performance beneath the big tents will present a rumber of the most marvelous foreign acts of the century. The menagerie of wild animals car- ried with the show is complete In every detall, and contains rare and curious specimens of the earth’s most interesting and curious animals, A mile long street parade of dszzling sp'endor, beautiful women, and band- some horses, interspersed with three brass bands and a steam calliope will traverse the streets shortly before noon, and this feature alone will be worth going many miles to see. Don’t forget the date and the place of exhibition, Bellefonte, Thursday, May 23. A ——— CENTRE MILLS Walter, the little son of Arthdr Cummings, is confined to the house with rheumatism. Mre.
