He positively promises to signalize his last appearance by assuming for tbe first time in several years, his un approachable role of Clown. This is sug gestive of an oratorical and mirtli pro voking treat that needs no aid of ours to irresistabiy attract. Mr. Rice will exhibit arid lecture U|H)U his beautiful and rare herd of Sacred Cattle—the only ones of their interesting species iu the civilized world. He will also introduce his mar vel of equine sagacity—tbe blind talking i.orse Excelsior, Jr.; the magnificent tuorobre I trick horse Stephen A. Doug las, the immensely funny clown mules Pete and Barney, and a whole troupe of equestrian monkeys. We are assured that nothing in the least improper, or offensive 1 > the most sensitive, will be tolerated, and ii#ok to see the great representative of American humor receive a hearty greeting. Hog 3, &c. —We notice bills posted up by the High Constable requiring hogs, horses, mules, and sheep to be penned up by the 20th April. Our streets generally are in good condition, hut a number of alleys never were in worse. Of these the one leading from Main to Brown streets is almost impassable to vehicles, it being in some places completely blockaded with coal ashes, manure, rubbish, the trim mings of rose bushes, Ac. No notice of removal ought to be given in such cases, out the ordinances at once enforced, pre cisely in the same way as if a street would be obstructed. Money Lost or Stolen. —N. J. Rudisill Inst week lost or was robbed of about §IOO on the ears between Philadelphia and Down ingtown. He had been purchasing some good*, and on returning very injudicious ly counted what money he had left while seated in the curs. Although he supposes no one saw him, there is little doubt one of the numerous pickpockets always 011 the lookout saw it in his possession some where, and made a "spec." Moral—Never eount in public or show any considerable sum of money away from home. The Gcllectorship.—Johnson still contin ues the farce of nominating candidates for the colieetorship of this district —( Jen. John Boss having last week been nomi nated and rejected, and since then Edward Roberts has been brought on the carpet for senatorial examination. There was no reason in the first place for removing .Mr. Rover, a faithful, resjwmsible and ef ficient officer, and as the Senate is now assert ing its undoubted prerogative of i - ing a part of the ap|>oiiiting j>o\ver, we trust it will reject all the time-serving politicians who may now lie offered un til he is restored, or leave the office in statu quo. The Childien's Jubiiee, held in the Presby terian church on Sunday afternoon last, was the largest gathering of the kind ever assembled in Lewistown. Not less than seven hundred Sunday School scholars made the edifice resound with merry peals of song, going up like the shout of a great army inarching to victory, which was taken up by a veteran corps of officers, teachers, and friends of the cause, num bering several hundred more. Rev. Ed win M. Long, of Philadelphia, delivered a children's sermon on Hiding Places, il lustrated by large paintings. After other interesting exercises the audience dispers ed, satisfied more fully than before per haps, that such fraternity is promotive of much good to the work of love in which they arc engaged. Who Would Not be Beautiful''—All may possess a clear, unblemished skin, of ala baster whiteness, hv the use of CHASTEL LAR'S WHITE LiqriD E.VAMKI,. It is the most perfect article in use, for removing all impurities of the skin, and unlike all other cosmetics, contains nothing that will injure the cuticle-; being vegetable, it is perfetly harmless.

The grain crop looks remarkably well. ACCIDENT ON THE RAILROAD.— On the evening of the 4th Mr. William Extine, I of Patterson, was fatally injured by being thrown from a hand car.

He had in his possession a goose, picked aud cleaned ready for cooking, and it is sup {>osed he was traveling and foraging as he went along.

'1 he Bellefonte Press gives the particu lars of a fire that occurred in Stormstown, 011 Sunday afternoon a week, which, in the amount ot distress etui set 1 by any sim ilar misfortune in Centre county, is without parallel in this region. The larger port ion of the town, and that which constituted the business part of it, inclu ding the best buildings, the hotels, stores, shops, &c., is now a mass of unsightly ruins. Only two or three individuals had effected an insurance and that indeed was but slight. Mr. Lever's policy had ex pired but a few days before, but unfortu nately he was ignorant of the fact. The insurance companies interested are the Lycoming Mutual, and the Clinton and C<-litre Farmers' and Mechanics' Mutual. The lire originated in the garret of the hotel property owned by George Mat tern, a part of which building was occupied by M. & G. Gray as a dry good store. The town was built along both sides of the street running very nearly due East and West, and while it is remembered that a high west wind prevailed at the time, amounting almost to a tornado, the com plete havoc made by the fire will not be a matter of sm prise."

We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu sical instrument more perfect, although we are slow to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be attained. Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe tition with instruments of the best makers of this country and Europe, and received the reward of mer it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It is but justice to say tnat the judgment thus pronounced has not been overruled by the musical world. Still, by the improvements lately applied by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in strument has been made. They have accordingly achieved the paradox of making excellence more excellent. Surely, after this, they are entitled to the motto "Excelsior." novl4-ly ITCH ! ITCH ! ITCH ! SCRATCH ! SCRATCH !
