—From the Watchman, wo copy tha
notice of four death* which occurred in a
single family, at Boaver Mill#, Ku#h town
ship, thin county, all of which occurred
during the first two week* of the present
month and show en almost unparalleled
instance of fatality and a truly distressing
dis))onsation of Providence. The family
upon whom this great attllction has fallen
is that of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Hmay, and
the names of the four children who have
been so suddenly called from earth to the
future world are given in the quadruple
death notice in another column. Diph
theria, wo are told, was the instrument
which death used in these instances to
accomplish its fearful work. We are sure
that none can read this announcement
without a pang of sorrow and a responseof
heartfelt sympathy. May it be truly said
that they "are not dead, hut gone before"
to bo four links binding the hearts and
affections of those left behind yet closer to
licnven. The source from which we glean
this sad bit of news does not say if there
are any other children still remaining to
comfort the grief-stricken parent*. It is
a sad circumstance, such a* we hope it will
never be necessary to record again.
—lt is thought even by some liquor men
that the Local Option law will be re-enact
ed this winter. Dosjiornte effort# are being
made to have it accomplished. There is
mora said on the subject of temperance
just now than ever before, and every news
paper seem# to be full of it. Henry Ward
Bcecher is said to have got off the follow
ing on Thursday night at a temjiorance
meeting in Plymouth church: "The
question of superstimulation is one which
affect* the man, the household, the neigh
borhood, the state, tho whole country.
The whole force of religion and society's
full moral force must be exerted against an
evil so vast that it fills our pour-houses,
hospiuls and jails. We will not let a man
carry dynamite through the strceU, and
rum drinking ia an evil which in iU vol
ume, vastness and misery overtop# all other
forms. It is the very devil among devils.
It 1# a notorious fact that the existing laws
in regard to the liquor traffic are shame
fully broken, suubbed and trodden under
foot. Every good citizen should sec that
they arc enforced."
—The usual monthly gathering* which
are held in tho Young Mn's Christian
Association room the first Sunday in each
month are always well attended, and often
found quite interesting. Next Sunday af
ternoon, being the Hint Sunday in March,
will bo tho ooea#ion for another of these
meeting*. Everybody is invited to attend,
and they cannot go any place where their
presence will be more welcome. The ex-
ercise# next Sunday will consist, during
the first quarter of an boui, of music from
"Moody and Sankey," No. 3, led by a
choir, after which service# of a different
character will be rewutued. The meeting*
commence at exactly four o'clock, just in
lime for Ihone returning from Sunday
school to drop in and spend another hour
profitably.
—The sale bills are out for a grand auc
tion of dry good* and notion* at the store
of Jame* Dunlap A Co., at Pine Drove
Mill*. The firm are desirous of di*|,ofing
of their present stock, and take this means
of doing so. The sale will commence on
Wednesday, the fttb of March, and continue
through the ">th, fith and Tth, when a
choice stock of dry goods, hats, cap*, boot#,
hardware and willow ware will be offered.
This will he a groat advantage to residents
in and around Pine Grove Mills, and all
will have an opportunity to provide them
selves with a fresh supply quickly and
cheaply. Sale* commence each day at 1
o'clock r. M. and continue through the
evenings. >
—The alarm of fire which sounded early
Monday morning was occasioned by a
slight conflagration in the tailoring estab
lishment of Mr. Henry Montgomery, in
MeCafferty's block, on High street. A
wooden box which surrounded the
stove caught Are, and brought the Lo
gan hose carriage tearing down High
street, and induced the Undine boy* to
bring their carriage as far a* High and
Spring. Ry this time the flame* were sub
dued and everybody retired in disgust.
—To-morrow will complete thin month,

the very mode*t kind, do not care for it,

choose to guard with jealou* care.
—An aged lady—Mrs. John Baney of
Zion—had the misfortune to fall on tbe ice

attended to by Dr. P. S. Fisher, and we
are pleased to hear that the prospects of
her recovery are good.

tion of the Court of Common Pleas to

issue follow their marriage.
—A new straight-out democratic paper
is to be started in Altoona. Tbe preseht

An Excellent Drama Well Pbo
ovi'bd—lt is not often the flowing de
scription* which herald th advent of lec
turer* and actors arc fully supported, but
the expectations of all wcro more than
realised in the grand rendition of that
touching drama "Damon and Pythias," in
the Court House, on Friday evening. The
audience which assembled to hear was
largo and manifested their appreciation by
a silence which could almost l>e felt. We
did ndt ei|M>ct so intensely interesting an
entertainment, as wo knew what a difficult
task tho gentleman had beforo him, and
how impossible it is for ono person to pro
duce tho expressions and intonations of
voice belonging to so many persons in such
a variety of situations. We also know
that few |>ersons, at best, appreciate the
style pf drama contained in "Damon and
Pythias," and therefore we can com pii
mcnt tho audience for the perfect attention
which prevailed.
Mr. Cope was introduced by It. M. Ma
gee, Ksq. , and prefaced the first act by
■tating that it would not be of great in
terest as it was merely preliminary to the
play. In this the gentleman committed
the only error which we think open to
criticism. lie hurried through the first
act, pronouncing the grave discussions of
the Senator* altogether too quickly, and
threw very little expression into the impe
rious command, "On soldiers! hew him
down Tho gentleman seemed to have
reserved his strength for the second act,
and produced the fiery indignation and
afterwards the dignified yet humble sup
plications of mercy which Damon is forced
to utter, with excellent etTect. In the third
act, in consequence of a slight disturbance
in the audience, much of the effect which
would otherwise have been produced by
the exciting situations and earnest words
fell apparently dead on the hearer*. The
fourth act was the best of the evening, and
throughout was rendered with dramatic
effect. From the exciting scene* between
Damon end Pythias the actor carried hi*
hearer* to the equally affecting one at tbo
home of Damon, and in the passionate
{•lea of Damon'* wife for her husband to
secure hi* lilerty, and in the heroic replica
of Datnon, occurred one of the neatest hit*
of acting of tho evening. The interest
arouMxl hero wa successfully maintained
throughout the fourth and concluding act*
until the welcome new* came from the
tyrant Diony*iu* that the execution *hould
be stopped. We do not hesitate to say
that Mr. Cope *howed greater talent* a*
an elocutionist and dramatic reciter than
any one who ha* visited IbU place for a
long time.
The pause* occurring between the act*
were well filled with delightful music by
tho Temperance Orchestra.
A* an antidote to the moisture occasion
ed by the affecting drama, Mr. Cope con
cluded with the recital of Mark Twain's
humorous sketch entitled, "Uncle Daniel's
Apparition."
BBLLRVOXTR'* Xiw P*oDt;i-TlO*.—We
always thought that the people of thU
county had more than their thare of talent,
but never knew until Thursday evening
last that they could produce tucb a firtl
claat mlntlrel troupe ai at that lime gave
iu initiatory entertainment. The com
pany c<intte of Charley Nolan, AI. Hsney,
AI. H. Ilaupt, Matt Dolon, f'hria. Nolan.
J. 8. Kyan, T. J. Newell and Sam I>*w
on, and all who witneaeed the performance
were agreeably turprited to discover what
excellent artitl* they are. AI. Itaney and
Chria. Nolan were the "end men," and
•ucceeded in getting off aome excellent
jokea, many of which were new and were
delivered with the moat imperturahkt
gravity, ('barley Nolan, AI. Ilaupt and
Malt. Ifcilan each aang tonga—both tenli

edly enchored, at waa alto AI. Ilaupt in a

ment to the othera to tay that Cbrit. Nolan
waa the "alar" performer, He ia certainly
unturpaaaed in the manner and tkill in
which he delineatea the comic Iriah char
acter. All of hie aonga were vociferoutly
applauded. The Temperance Orchestra
furnithed the muaic, which waa flne.
The whole performance waa unusually
good and free from anything objectionable.
We can assure for them that if they give
any entertainments in the future the per
formance will be well worth witnessing.
A Oaxxnr I'IIKAMAXT.—Bird* *eem to
be eating, eating, eating all day long, and
their appetite* are apparently not appeared.
But we never realiaed how much they
really do conrume, until the truth wa*
demonstrated the other day by Mr. John
O. Warner, of near Nittany Hall. One
day la*t week he bad the good fortune to
•boot a pbeaaant which wa* on ona of the
Irene in hi* orchard. I'pon examining the
bird, he wa* surprised to And it* craw eery

WaaHiNuTON's ill nth ijayCeleheatei*
at the W ARiiiNOToN Ghanok.—A oorre*-
pondent from Bute College write* us a
witty communication regarding the meet
ing of the Washington Grange, on Hatur
day last, which was the first Grange meet
ing he ever had the pleasure of attending.
We would like to publish his letter in Mo,
but want of space compel* us to be satisfied
with producing a few extracts. After say
ing that the first sound which saluted him
on approaching the meeting was "music
from a brass hand softly floating on the
midnight air," and "having had a rapid
glanceat things in general,"heand the party
with him "were introduced to the Master,
Dr. Calder, President of Stale College, who
made us acquainted with several interesting
facts concerning Granges in general
and their benefits to the farmer. We next
met Mr. Leonard Khone, Deputy of Centre
county, who seemed to be devoted to the
work of the Grange, and added facts to our
already well-filled memory." Mr. Khone
is an enthusiastic Granger and few iwcape
him without also becoming Grangers.
Among those in attendance were Messrs.
John Musser and George Dale, tine of
the most acceptable acquaintance* which
our correspondent made was the well-filled
table. To describe the content* of this
table our corres;iondctil felt himself incap
able, and despaired lest in the attempt he
should become lost in a "labyrinth of tur
key bones, pies and creams." All that the
busy mind of man could devise wa* spread
before those who sat at the table, great in
quantity and excellent in quality. At I'J
o'clock all were invited by Dr. Calder, of
Stale College, to partake of this abundant
repast. The order was quickly and wil
lingly obeyed, and by the time the meal
was over each one had eaten so much that
it was found necessary to allow a short
time for recovery.
After tbe table had been cleared and
transformed into benches, Dr. ('aider called
the meeting to order, with the remark that
"important business wa* impending." The
Dr. then called on Leonard Ithone, who
occupied the floor fur half an hour with in
structive remark* al>out Grange* in general
and their great use in helping the farmer to
become independent. He touched lightly
upon the "grinding monopolies,"' and
showed that of all the men sent to govern
the nation very few farmer* were among
tbem. Mr II ' remark* were well receiv
ed and seemed to be concurred in by the
majority of those present. After Mr
Ithone had ceased, the Pine Hall brass band
rendered some excellent music.
Mr. John Musser then addressed the
audience, opening bis remark* with the
remark that "with Dr. ("alder calling him
one way and bis wife pulling his coat in
another" his remark* would I* short.
Throughout his speech he kept the people
in a happy frame of mind, at the same time
working in some very sound arguments.
This speech wa* followed by a few prac
tical remark* from Mr. (*>rge Dale, say
ing that we mutt always put into practice
what we preach if we would accomplish
any good.
The meeting wa* cloecd by the liand
playing "Caleni a (Juirktlep.

condition. Last year the membert made

hat been elected to the tame (ettiiion.
HOWARD'# LITRRART KKTERTAIRMRRT.
—The celebration of Washington! birth
day by the literary aociety of Howard, and
it* invited guoalt, on latt Saturday evening,
waa quite a tuccea*. The hail wa* more
than crowded, it wat literally packed, and
docent, If not tcore*, went away, unable
to gain admittance. Intlrumental mu
aic, by the Howard String Band, and
vocal muaic by the Howard (Quartette club,
formed a very delightful part of the even
ing* entertainment. The Quartette club,
moat of the member* of which were person
al friend* of the deceased, rendered in a
feeling manner, the beautiful "Tribute to
Bradbury," in memory of Mr. John L.
I.uca*, the founder of the aociety, the new*
of whoae death In Florida, on Tuesday
evening laat, had jut I reached them.
D. L. Dunham, Ktq , the newly-elected
Supreme Judge of Howard township,
wielded the gavat, and bore hi* honor* with
blushing modesty. While Mitchell Gard
ner made an efßcient Secretary. An orig
inal oration by Mr. John Smith, which
evidenced considerable thought and care in
iU preparation, opened the eserriam, and
nfter muaic, wa* followed by "The I.a*t
Hour* of Mosart," eicellenlly rendered
by Mr. Strickland. M it* Dornblaxer, of
Hamburg, who bad been advertised a* an
eaaayiat, failed to put in nn appearance,
much to the disappointment of aome who
had turned out especially to bear her. The
question for debate,—"Acaofserf, That wo
man should have the right of suffrage,"
waa ably and eloquently diaruaaad by
Maaar*. David Pletcher, Dunham, NefT, of
R°ffSi Roving, of Marion, Reuben Pletch
er, 'Squire Barn hart and other*. Miaa
Gardner, and Meiers. Bricklsy and Hend
erson, who had been selected as jodgra,
gavs a decision In favor of the affirmative,
but when the audience was appealed to for
an opinion, It thundered out a negative
which muit have sent dismay to the bearU
of all woman auffrngiau present, and so
the evening pasted pleasantly and we trust
profitably, and we congratulate our friend*
of the ancient burg, upon the auocea* of
their celebration.

shower* and gentle gale, is not far off.
The ancient Polish superstition, which
gave particular power to certain gem* on

would be in requisition to enable poor
mortals to withstand the changes and
