—The festival at the "Wigwam" last
T Thursduy evening was a pleasant affair.
—Have you yet broken those good reso
lutions you made at tho beginning of this
year?
—Most people of late have seemed to
think that a death by suffocation is prefer- i
able to one by freezing.
—On and after this date, overcoat* will j
bo sold at cost at Newman's Kaglc Cloth
-3 I
ing Hall. Ketnctnl>er this. 2-tf
—No meeting of tho Young Men's Chris
tian Association will bo held to-morrow
night because of the week of prayer.
—Try Isaac Haupl's two for 5 cent
cigars. Those that have tried them say
they are equal to any & cent cigar in town.
—Mr. Edward Garman is attending
Crittenden's Business College, corner
Twelfth and Chestnut streets, Philadel
phia.
—Wo are informed by Mr. Leonard
Rhone that the Centre County Pomona
Grange will meet at Centre Hull on Tues- !
day, January 14. There will bo three
sessions, viz: at 10 A. M., 2 and 7P. M.
L —lt was the universal opinion that Fri
day last was the coldest day ever cxperi- .
enced; and we shall continue to think so,
all assertions of statisticians to the contrary
notwithstanding ; yea, even if our worthy
Pilgrim fathers should rise from their
graves and tell us that the Mayflower saw
colder days.
—The musical convention and concert at
Jacksonville lost week is reported a success.
The unusual severity of the weather pre- :
vented the attendance from being so large
a* it otherwise would have been. The
programme for the Saturday night concert
f is spoken of with enthusiasm by those who
had the pleasure of hearing it.
—The Presbyterian Sabbath-school of
this place is in good circumstances, po- I
sessing Building Association stock and
having a balance of over $4OO in the
treasury. On last Sunday it voted $-'<o to
the Board of Publication for the purpose of
buying books and other necessaries for
Sunday-schools not so well situated.
—The collections in the Presbyterian
Sabbath-school of thia place during the
present month are to be devoted to pur
chasing necessaries for the needy in our
midst. A commendable object, and parents
sending their children to that Sunday
school and who possess the means should
see that they are well equipped with small
change.
—We venture to assert, without having
been present, that cz-Sheriff Shaffer's
hospitable home, in Jiittany Valley, was
the scene of a* much innocent hilarity and
real happiness on Christmas day as could
have been found in any other home in
Centre county. A twenty-four pound tur
key, as we learn from "M. M.," in the
Clinton Democrat, furnished the feast.
—We direct attention to the term* of the
Harrisburg daily and weekly Patriot , pub
lished in another column of this paper.
Persons desiring a newspaper from the
™ capital of the State cannot do better than
to send for tbe Patriot. It is an ably
edited journal, always filled with fresh
news, and, during the session of the Legis
lature, contains full and accurate daily
reports of the proceedings of both house*.
—WilUarosport is happy over it* Loan
Art Exhibition. Among the novel and
curious things that attract attention we
notice in tbe Gazette and liulletin a refer
ence to a piece Of a tree, called tho iioly
Cross Tree, in tbe centre of which is the
perfect form of a Maltese Crose. The
specimen on exhibition was sent from
Brazil to Capt. I). B. Else, by Mr. Clar
is ence Johnston, well known in Bellefonte.
—Some of our sportsmen have shown
evidence of extraordinary marksmanship
during the past season, but we have heard
of none more successful than Mr. George
Gross. lie, with his equally celebrated
setter dog, "Sport," ha* killed eighty-two
pheasants and thirty-five rabbits. He is
not SBtitfled with killing these animals by
the dozen, but, true to his name, he liter
ally destroys them by the pro**. We
M advise i'aeee poor creatures to band together
into an alliance offensive and defensive,
and when this natural enemy of theirs
comes around armed with his gun and
accompanied by this famous dog, to scam
per away as fast as possible.
A FARM nft'jat Bmin VKARJACKSON
vtLi.R. —Thdhrin house on one of tho farm*
belonging to the estate of the Into Thotnna
Huston, A short distance above Jackson
ville, burtoni on Friday night last and
camo very near consuming with it the
entire family of Mr. Andrew McClintock,
the occupant. Mr. McClintock retired
about the usual time, but Mr*. M., on
account of the extreme cold, remained up
an hour or two later, keeping the (ire*
going. Soon after retiring and getting to
sleep, Mr. and Mr*. M. were both awak
ened by the smell of smoke, and found the
room and entire house tilled with it. Has
tily waking their two little children, they
gra*[H<d the clothing on the bed* they were
occupying and groped their way through
the smothering smoke to the open air just
in titno to avoid being cut off by the
Humes. A boy who was sleeping in
another part of the house, started for the
stairs, but was met and turned back by the
tlamcs, and nrndo his escape through one
of the second story windows. None of the
party saved any portion of their clothing
except the night drosses which they Wore.
The cold was fearful, and in a few mo
ments—almost seconds—Mrs. McClintock,
while trying to wrap her two little girls in
the bedding they had brought nut with
them, ami thus protect them, had her feet
terribly frozen. In a short time help
arrived from Mr. McCaimout'a and other
neighbors. Horses were bitched ami the
chilled sufferers taken to the hospitable
homo of Mrs. II"Alley, where they were
kindly eared for. The building was lulully
destroyed, and was, wo are informed,
without insurance. Mr. McClintock lost
all the personal and household effects of
himself and family, and is left literally
naked in the world. Ho bad an insurance
of sf>oo upon his property. The entire
family are now at the hoii " of Mrs. \lc-
Clintock's father, Abrnm IVifer, Esq.,
near Howard, and it is hoped that with
careful treatment Mrs. M. will in time
I recover entirely the use of her feet. We
learn that our townsman, Mr. John Mason
Duncan, who was visiting at Mr< Bral ley's,
acquitted hinucif nobly in Ruining to care
for the sufferers.
Usr. !IKWITT"STAIKKJ<ACLC.—The old
Tabernacle which our Hebrew brethren

disajipoared over a thousand years ago;
but the one .Mr. Hewitt had on exhibition
last Friday night ia brand new. Weibould
judge by hia remark* that it came a* a * -rt
of an elephant on hi* hand*, and so he, las'.
Friday night, politely invited everybody to
the Court HOUMI to "ace bia elephant"—for
twenty-live cent* per head! At the time
the Court Houae bell called the people
together the thermometer indicated 100'
below aero and atill a freezing, and so
many people preferred to remain in their
own comfortable "tabernacle*" at borne.
But thoae who safsly renohed the Court
Houae were amply repaid for their effort*,
for was one of the tint warm place* we
had encountered that day. How the man
ager* ever uecc*ded in making that Court
Hou*e no comfortable on a night like that
ia a wonder even to wt*e fellow* like our

of the audience, which mint have number
ed two hundred. But thi* grateful heat
was not the only thing which repaid thoae
who attended, a* Kcv. Hewitt had a really

exhibit. Ho placed the varioua part* of
the Tabernacle in their proper poeition
in view of the audience, offering a he did
*o an explanatory lecture. He *howed how
every part of the Tabernacle I.* *ymbolica!
in it* minute*t particular, and how inter
e*ting and in*tructive a study it U to search
out their different significations. But it
would take many night* to thoroughly

and exhibitions of this character are pier
hap* tnore beneficial in every way than
any that could be placed before the public.
Death or a Cektkkxariaw. — On
Tuesday morning, December 81, 1878, the
venerable Mrs. Jane M. Burroughs <lio<! at
the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Koliert
Irvin, in Lock Haven, at the remarkable
age of 100 years, 6 months and 7 days. The
following extract la taken from the notice
of her death, which appeared in the Clinton
Democrat of last week : "It will be remem
bered by our readers that her 1001b birth
day was celebrated on the - Ith of last July,
when the pretty and venerable old lady
was called upon by many citixens, and
received with evident pleasure. She was
born at Yardlcy ville, Bucks county, IV,
July 24. 1778. Her maiden name was
Jane M. Matthews. She married at 19.
Her husband died many years ago. They
had seven children, and there are sixteen
grand-children, thirty-six great-grand
children, and four great-great-grand-chll
dren. She had three daughters living in
the same house with her—Mrs. Irvin, In
her 61st year; Mr*. Dalrymple, 64; and
Mrs. Wilson, aged 75.
—What might have been a serious run
e-way occurred just as the afternoon mail
train arrived on Saturday. A team of
horaea belonging to Mr. Michael Grove
and attached to a light sled, took fright,
probably at tha train, and rushed rapidly
down High street and out Wator, dragging
behind them the sled, occupied by a lady
and gentleman. The animals were brought
to a halt when they had reached the spring,
and after the occupants had fastened the
harness and gathered up some articles
that had fallea along the road in the rapid
flight, they onoe more resumed their seat*
ana drove on their way rejoicing ft the
fortunate escape.

M i'it I'll v Mkktimo.—Thn meeting of
the Murphy Temperance Society, lust
Thursday evonlng, wiu one of unusual
interest. Owing to tho extreme severity of
tho cold the attendance was liinitral, hut
thoM who wcro tbero worn amply repaid
for their trouble. Tho meeting win called
to order by tho President, Judge Orvl*.
Tho devotional exercise* were performed
by Sir. 11. V. Htitxer. Thatult was call*.!
end minute* of lh# last mooting rer.d by
the Secretary, Mr. I>. Orny. IJy vote, tho
hour of meeting wit* fixed at 7 : -iO P. tl.
Keuntrk* for the good of the temperance
cit'.iao then being in order, Judge Orvi*
proceeded to give omo fuel* in relation to
llio liquor traffic ip our town, which are
in their calculation*aituply appalling. The
Judge had promised to show by statistics
tlmt tho liquor traffic in Bcllefonle cost
more in it direct nuirim-r than the total
amount eijionded for the pour, for school
pui poses and religion, including chit relets
and Sunday-schools, and ho abundantly
demonstrated it to he a fact, lie said that
the amount of the poor tax levied in the
borough was $1,600. Add to tliin the
relief afforded by charitable citizens to the
poor outside of the poor lux, estimated at
$4,600 mora, milking in nil $9,000 for the
relief of the poor. The amount of school
lax levied i* $9,000. Add to this $l,B >0
mora expended in prirnlo schools and by
sending children uwuy to school, and we
have $13,600 devoted to school pit rpu .-•■*.
Estimate the very liberal amount, $22,3(81,
fr the support of churches and .Sunday
schools, Including all expenses, and we
have a total of sl.i,(XK> expended for thc
three purpose* —poverty, education and
religion. By carefully gather - I data taken
from thu account* of the different licensed
bar* of this borough, tho Judge clearly
showed that the cost to the consumer* of
; the malt nnd spirituous liquor* lold in these
eight licensed place# in our town is
, $J4,430. Add to this the direct losses to
the community of the labor, grain and
other valuable* u*-t<-d in its manufacture
and sale, which amount to $19,000, and w
have tho direct expenso of the liquor
tratfie in Ilelh-foiito to tho consumer and
tho community generally, $6:1,000, or
$8,600 more than is cxjvcnd<*d for charity,
ed ucatinn arid religion. Tho Judge did
not take info this account any indirect
losses in Court expense* arising from the
continual criminal ca*-* brought on by tho
use of infoxiraling drink, or other conse
quential damage fo the community from
the same source.
Upon motion, the Judge was unani
mously fi-quested fo prepare these slati'tlcs
in pr<q>er form for publication in the
various newsjapor* for the enlightenment
of tho public upon this question, which he
promised fo do at as early a time as hi*
duties would allow him.
This week being the week of grayer, n
meeting of this society will be h- Id until
Thursday, January It.

1 ly supported the e„jiri- ti. kei, thus proving
Ihauisclve* worthy of the future confl
. J nee and siipj- rt of the party.
I would suggest that the party, as far as
jiraet able, d'countenance th" custom
which has lw me so prevalent, in th" last
f<*w years, of candidate* canvassing th"
i county f r Wcsekt is-fore the delegvl" eler
, lion*. It is a C"'*t expense and 1 ■•* of
time to the candidate*#, a source of infinite
j annoyance to the je-oplc ; while, in many
instances, the candidates when thus travel
' ling over the county, are not satisfied ith
merely advocating their own claims, bit
sp nd their time in deprecating the claims,
and assailing the chorncter of other candi
dates. thus laying the foundation for g"n< -
rl dissatisfaction with the ticket, when
nominated. The announcement of the
candidacy of a j*'t*on in the newsi*j<er# of
the county, should he sufficient. Whether
a standing rule of the party uj>n this sub
ject would be advisable, I am not pr<-j<ared
• to say.
The existence >f the Greenback organi
sation, as a third party, ij this ooun'y,
drawing a* it diJ some four or five hun
dred votes from our party, came near leav
! ing us in the minority : and gave a ■ banco
I to the op|<tllion, whenever they would
unite, to elect their candidate* The re
publicans were willing to seize this op.
("■rtunity, and sacrifice all their rrctended
principle f.,r the mew pun> ec of defeating
the democratic ticket. They thus sup
l*<rtel the greenhaik candidate for Con
gress, for Senator, for Assembly and for
county Treasurer ; hut owing to the gen
-1 cral zeal and fidelity of our people, this
(otuhination failed to carry the county for
j anything. A'et this combination of honest
money republicans, with inflation repudia
: tionisls, was strong enough, when aided by
the treason of a few pretended dem'tcrats,
and bv a corrupt u* of money, to defeat our
candidate for Congress. That these ailiea
of the anemr, who have heretofore oskiai
and received the support and recognition
from our fiarty, will hereafter he recognized
and trrated a* they deserve, I have an
abiding confidence.
To the corps of able young speakers, who
canvassed the county, and to the many
other xealous and faithful democrats, who
aided in the assiduous labors of the cam
paign, I am under many obligations. To
the member* of the vigilance committees
of the various suh-districU, and to most
of the members of the county committee,
I return my sincere thanks for their very
efficient labors. The very few member* of
the county committee, who hetrayed the
trust replied In them by the party they
professed to belong to, and treacherouslv
Jjare aid and assistance to the enemy,
race to the future tender mercies ot the
party, and to the pangs of their own con
science*.
Having, fellow democrats, discharged to
the host of my abilities, the trust you re
posed in me for the allotted time, I gladly
resign it into the hands of mv duly ap
poin ed successor, and bespralc fo? him
your earnest support and confidence.
