—During the coming iummor Bellafonto

sence of a worthy citixen, Mr. Levi Stroub
He left town on Monday morning last for
Altoona and will be engaged in a planing
mill in that place. Ilia family, however,
will remain here. Wo are sorry he is
gone, but glad that he IIBS found the em
ployment which he so anxiously sought.
—On the authority of "Anon," who
write* from Kcbefsburg to the Millheim
Journal, we see that a company from Lew
isburg have purchased, from Melchtor
Bierly. thirty acres of timber land about
one mile south-west of Kebersburg, on
which they will erect a steam saw mill.
The purchase price was s'!,"isO. Such an
enterprise will doubtless be a welcome vis
itor to that part of the county.
Every day a large number of new
guest* register at the Bush House. Mr.
Hoppcs, the proprietor, is the most genial
of landlords, while the new clerk, Mr-
Penn Bigony, understands the art of wel
coming strangers a* very few hotel clerks
do. He ba had extended experience in vari
ous large hotel* throughout the country,
and the Bush House, reaping the benefit of
this, will certainly prosper under the
rtgxmt of these two veterans at the busi
neas.
—We are quite sorry that in about a
week Mr. Hamilton Otto will consider it
to hi* advantage to pull up slake* and de
part for other region* of business. He has
won golden opinion* from all since coming
to this place, has captured one of our pretty
young ladies, and next week threaten* Us
depart for Milton Us there engage in the
tobacco business. There are too many
venders of the weed in Bdlefonte for mil
lions to be made at the busin<ws, and he
hope* U> do better at that place, which we
hope will be the case.
—The Centre Hall Rrpi-rtrr raises the
frightful question as to whether the town
of Aaronsburg really belongs Us the in
habitants of the place who now claim
peaceable possession, or U> the heir* of one
Aaron Levy, an Israelite, who arc now
searching through the records of Northum
berland county for the proofs that will *-
tablish their claim, which, they say, was
willed to them by the paternal Levy. The
Rrp"rlrr thinks, however, that there i* no
reason for the present incumbent* Us bo
apprehensive of an adverse result.
—The hills around Bel Monte, which
have for three months been locked in snow
and ice, are free once more and will soon
exhibit their joy by bringing forth bright
spring-time beauty. Theae bands of snow
and ice have yielded to the gentle beam* of
a welcome sun, and this apparently weak
instrument has done more than all the
power of man could accomplish in again
restoring beauty to the coming year. The
apprehended danger of great disease, of
terrible floods and of foreboding imaginary
evils have been mercifully removed from
us, and a* the sdfcson advances the water
will In all probability be no higher than is
desirable for successful lumber operation*.
These almost miraculous blessings should
assuredly have the effect on man of also
unlocking the icy band* and fetters that
have been oppressing him and hi* heart
should go out even as nature in sponta
neous thankfulness and praise* for such
benedictions and glorious beauty.
—The Centre Hall Reporter auks for in
formation on a very simple question, which
we are happy to (fire. It says: "What
would the quiet people of Aaronsburg say,
to wake up one morning and And them
selves gobbled up by the heir* of Aaron
Levy ?" Our dear and Kurt(eous) friend,
in the sad event which you have described, >
we think that the quiet people of that
town would be *o unusually silent as to be
beyond saying anything. It would have
been more to the point if you had asked
what the heirs of the said Aaron would
say. They would be the greatest sufTerers
and would probably be like the individual
who exclaimed in agony:
"It's that nsfaM rwMbe
I'w sal aa4 r. sa't Sla<aS."
If you would like to "put yourself in
his place," Just try to swallow one of
the editorials which emanate from over "
Haupt's tin shop. '
—There is ono article of household furni
ture that deserves especial attention in iU
manufacture, and which it seem* ha* ro
coivod it, for in the hint few year* it ha*
undergone wonderful development in ine
chanical skill. That article ii the kitchen

I)A ATii or DAVID WAV*._Kor many

boat known citiauns in all Centre county
and who was born and raised within its
borders, has boon prostrated, as it were,

—We are about to direct the attention of
parents and all interested in the welfare
and instruction of childron to accompany
us along Allegheny street into the interior
of that great stono building to which a
large nuuibor of the children of our town
go every day, in which they spend six or
seven hours of each twenty-lour, and re
ceive a training, which, be it good or evil,
must tend largely towards forming the
character and shaping the morals width
will mark their future lives. The building
itself, thougli admirably arranged with
communicating apartments, is not so well
ventilated as might be. The rooms arc
delightful {daces for study. They are all
abundantly lighted and well furnished,
which accessories so much aid the student,
and contribute materially to cheerfulness
and habits of application.
It would teem im|s>aaib]o to select more
competent instructors than are the bril
liant corps of teachers now in charge of
the various detriment*. The I'rincipal,
Mr. David Leib, and his Assistant, John
Mason Duncan, are young men but just
entering the full power* of their man
hood. They are fresh from thorough and
excellent courses of study, whi< h has made
them fine students, and at the same time
they have the ad vantage of the most mod
ern method* and ideas of imparling in
struction to the children under their care.
We do not wish to convey the impression
that they follow that mistaken line of
modern instruction which would cram the
children with the higher branches before a
fair foundation of primary instruction has
been laid. Mr. Leib, the Principal, exert*
the strictest and most exact surveillance
: over every department arid is particularly
emphatic that the little ones shall be drill
ed in the most thorough manner. In each
school the order maintained is pcrfort,
and we are sure would be a model for any
place of instruction.
The Principal and his Assistant have the
larger pupil* in the two commodious
front rooms on the first floor. The young
ladies and gentlemen are exrepihmably in
telligent-looking. They make rapid pro
gress in their studiea. At the lime w<*
were there a drill in History was in pro
gress, while a few Latin sentence* outlined
>n thc.blaekboard suggested that other stud
ies received their due share of attention.
