—One of the sweetest old ladies in the
world died some time ago in Kentucky,
leaving $l,OOO to the Glasgow Times In
token of the benefit it has been to her du
ring her life. This, you may say, is not of

better than it did last Sabbath.
—Thirteen time* during the year the
moon waxe* "full." It* cheeks bulge out
and it enjoys a long, gay night of it. Last
Tuesday night wa* one of those occasions.

est. If its humble imitator* here below

alo do their best when "full" we might
wish they would remain in that condition
all the time, but it generally creates quite
a contrary effect.

How BKLLKVONTK LOOKS ON PAPER.—
Considering the loveliness of Bollofonln,
very little lias been said about it, and |>er
liaps no adequate description of It has ever
been written. It Is true no mere words
can convey its real beauty, yet as descrip
tion* of levoly place* have ever formed
fertile subject* for lively pen*, it is to be
wondered that none have yet been devoted
to ip# praise—for it is la belle town of
| Pennsylvania. Tbi* want of description is
| owing to the fact that tho inhabitant* of
i the town, although appreciating the loveli
ness and roaping tho benefit* of refining
scenery, are an eminently practical, matter
-1 of-fact people who enjoy without luring
controlled by enthusiasm. It can be said,
however, a* of no other place, that the eye
can glance in no direction without resting
upon some panorama of beauty. A* tho
weary traveler *tep* from the car# at the
J station at tho close of a long journey, al
, though he I* In the centre of the town, yet
even hero there are evidence* of natural
beauty which three-quarters of a century
of change huve failed to obliterate. High
street pns-es from east to west and ascends
in either direction. To the ca*t large brick
business blocks and private residence* suc
ceed one another to the top of the hill
where the tasteful Court House from behind
' tho graceful grove of trees tell* win ta Jus
tice i* supreme. Tho large building next
the depot is the lluh House, which, to
gether with the BrockerhofT House, (iar
man House, and several other hotel* invite
the traveler to stop and re*t. In a western
direction are more pretty dwelling*, and
but a few rods off rise- Half Moon hill. It
i* only necessary to ascend this eminence to
obtain a glorious view of Rellefonte. To
visit a scene of equal loveliness in any other
place, It Is frequently necessary to walk for
miles, Tlnn, too, crusting High street
near the dcjml i* Spring i reek —a stream of
purest water, which take.- to itself all the
angle* and forin any one can wish. Now
it flows peacefully along spreading to view
a Wide, rapacious bosom ; now it gather*
itself into a small compass and j.lunges
down a sleep declivity, and then anon it
will divide and form in its centre a minia
ture island covred with a thick growth
All these variation* and form* are to be
seen within a short radius of the depot.
And then to render the scene still more
enchanting in tbe oyee of some, the stream
>* swarming with that delight of anglers
and choicest of flsh—#p<>< kled trout, which,
a* twilight draw# near, leap fr >tn it* bosom
after the fly dancing in air, exposing their
beautiful forms to the ravished eye of the
angler.
Many prefer to walk tho entire length of
this lovely watery path, up to the great
basin constructed by the planing mill com
pany. Here a great sheet of water spreads
out before tho eye, in which rowing or
; bathing can be indulged if desires). On the
way you must pass tbe far-famed spring,
whose proportions so frequently have be. n
described, whose pearly depth* hate re.
fleeted bark their purity to so many eyes,
and whose cooling nerlar has quenched
thirst of great and small for a score of years
There are connoisurcs in scenery who
prefer the wild beauty of our rock# and
mountain These „:o without limit,
but we must conflneourselves tonne. Onlv
a mile from town the visitor can climb with
Alpine slock to McCoy * Point, a spot
from where, as from none other within a
radius of five counties ran such a compre
hensive view !*> obtained. A powerful
glass will bring into view the city of Lock
llsven fully twenty-five miles distant; the
State College is outlined twelve mile* off.
and a train of cars is seen winding round
the mountain. If w had time we might
mention the grand drives which will bring
the visitor to Niitany mountain, to the
I Mammoth Cave of Centre county, and
which will at every step open up to view
new scenes to delight the eye and ap[>en] to
the senses.
Tbe climate of our town is salubrious and
at equable a* can le found in Pennsylvania .
i the air is pure and bracing. Tbere i* a
freedom from those convulsions of nature
which in some resorts are so much to be
feared, No storms or earthquakes cause
our church lowers to crash and fall, but
ever boldly they lift their spire* to heaven
! invoking benedictions u|>on Ibis place so
i blessed by the god*.

A CKSTISK CorMT Pom. an v.—Spring
Mills rind Coburn have recently had a sen
• ati. n, and W. K. and i C. Smith, who
transacted business at Osburn under the
• naiiio of Smith V Co., hare beeti defrauded
i of m. ney to the extent of f 1 I'Kl, the fact*
of whiihwa glean from the Republican.
The fraud wbi'h wa* a foigery, was in the
main, viry cleverly managed. Smith A
! Co. have (seen accustomed to leave check*
• ndorsed with the firm name in the pos
sesion of their clerk, who kecj* the tame
firmly secured under lock and key. A
gentleman by the name of C Huston,
secured a key which would unlock the
drawer in which the check* were placed,
snd tce.k from the book several blanks,
extrac ting tbe entire leaf. Tho aforesaid
young man then become po*sc**ed of a
great longing to see the world, e#pc*dally
wa* be troubled with the western fever,
and started on hi* journey via. Bellefonte,
j of course, he could not go to the we*t with
! out a new suit of clothes, and accordingly
visits-d the popular clothier, J. Newman,
Jr., giving him a check filled up to the
amount of sB*lo. We supp >#e of course

Irew the money. This cheek was paid by
tbe Isewisburg bank, and a check for about
$?0 was honored by a man at Millbeim.
Those irregularities were not discovered
until Smith A Co. received from the Lewis
hung bsink a sutem.<nt of their account.
Suspicion immediately rested upon Hue.
ton, and a telegram was sent to the Cloud
County Rank slating the fact, on the 21th
•if April. On the If'th of the same month
Smith A Co. received the agr<vuble inlelli
! gence that their man wa* arrested and in
I prison at Atchison. The same day tbe
firm were before the grand jury where they
secured the necessary papers to obtain a
requisition from the Governor to bring
home the fugitive. Mr. W. K. Smith
quickly secured the requisition and started
for Kansas, and we presume will soon re
turn with his captive; but just who is to
lose the money will probably be a question
which will require legal lore to settle.
