cial attention to its dress goods department-
A new advertisement appears to-day in

—Ho worth's Grand Hibernia Combina
tion, which exhibited here Wednesday

largest sale* of the season and persons who
can will do well to attend.
—A and artistic stjle
of hat now adorns tho heads of our young
ladies. It is designed to combine the larg
est possibly amount of straw, ribbon* and
flowers and cover the least possible
amount of head. An ordinary hat of this
kind would cover two hesuis if properly
distributed, but the wearer generally bal
ance* it artistically on her right ear. Un
der the eve* of tho hat on top of the head
a bouquet is inserted. From thence it all
flow* gracefully down until it touches the
right shoulder. Altogether it is fragrant
with associations of a brilliant floral dia
play on the southern slope of a hill.

And yet, notwithstanding bis "sidewalk"
or his "footstep," it is the sitting down,
after all, that test* his bottom.— BelUfonte
H'alchtnan. Yes, sspecially if he should
assume this recumbent position on a wasp'*
nest you would probsbly see hi* flesh creep,
hi* teeth chatter and bi* heart flutter.
—Among the various select schools now
in progrssa in the public school building
none, perhaps, will be more successfully
conducted than the one now taught by the
accomplished lady instructor, Mint Roaa
Woods. It was Mis* Wood*' intention to
attend a young ladies College In New
York City during the holiday*, and theta
fore she neglected to announce the opening
of her school previous to this. But her
many friend* and those parents who desire
to send their children s few months longer
to • good school will rsjoice at the fact that
Miss Woods has concluded to remain, and
will receive a limited number of scholars.
She occupies the room formerly used by
the Principal, Mr. David Lleb, and parent*
cannot do belter than to send their children
to her.
—The usual preparations are making for
Decoration Day, on Friday tho 30th of
this month. Tho oxercise* will consist of
a grand parade in which all the military
and civic societies will Join, together with
an oration and the customary decoration
ceremonies. It is not cortalnly known
yet who will deliver tho oration, but we
understand that Rev. W. A. Biggart, the
popular clergyman of the Baptist church,
will l>o requested to do so. The usual
decorations for the occasion will lie fur
nished by the ladies of the town. Front tho
circular issued by the Grand Army of the
Republic to tho several posts in regard to
tho observance of the day wo copy tho fol
lowing very sensible suggestion : '
"It is suggested that each post prepare
a record of all soldiers buried within its
limits, giving name, age, rank, company,
regiment, date and cause of death of each,
and that this record be preserved in some
appropriate manner, and that the ceremo
nies of decoration be made more impress
ive by the reading of it. Kach year addi
tional names will be added until tiie last
veteran lias been mustered out, when it
can be handed down to posterity and bo
pri/.od, il may be, as tiie roll of honor by
tho town or village to which it belongs.
In this way tho record of even tho hum
blust comrade may be at least partially
perpetuated, and his patriotic devotion and
licroic deed* remembered."

—A ragged tramp lately knocked at the
residence of ono of our citizens and a-ked
the lady of tho house who came to iho door
if she could give him a pair of pants. "I
would gladly do so," answered the generous
ladv, "but my husband has only ono leg
and consequently all of his ca*l-off pants
aro minus one necessary appendage, but if
they will be of any use to you you can have
them." The tramp glanced ruefully at the
pair ho wore and at last said : "Well,
Madam, I will take them for I guess even
a pair with ono whole leg will be better
than these I have on."
—We regret hi learn of tho doath of
Mr. Abram Peifer, of Howard township
Mr. Peifor was an old citizen of Centre
county, having spent many years in Nit
tan y and Penn't Valleys beforo locating
in Howard. He was well and generally
known in the localities in which ho had
lived, and the vacancy caused by his death
will be long felt In the daily walks of life
by those with whom he was most familiar.
We are requested to tender the thanks ol
tho family to the neighbors and friends
who have been so kind and attentive dur
ing Mr. Peifer * long illness.
—A very valuable and rare old .Swiss
watch is now in the possession of our ex
perienced jeweler, Mr. Richards. It is the
property of Mr. Louis Haas, and has been
in the possession of his family for such a
very long time that the memory of him or
any of his kin "runneth not to the contra
ry." He knows it to have been in the
possession of his grandfather. Mr. Haas
would not now take S6OO dollars for the
watch.

A FARM HOUHE KIKE.—On Saturday
morning last Mr. George Hastings, of Bon
ner township, mot with a serious misfor
tune in tho destruction of tho house in
which he resided by Urn. IJuita early in
the morning ho bad risen, lighted a fire
and loft tho houso, his wife and children
still asleep. Shortly after this Mrs. Hast
ings awoke and was surprised and alarmed
to discover Ore issuing from tho loft over
tho kitchen. Seeing instantly that it had
attained such headway as to be beyond her
efforts to subdue the flames, she instantly
aroused her children and with what cloth
ing she could collect retired from the house.
Mr. Hastings saw them and this was the
first intimation he had received that any
thing was the matter, lie arid his wife,
with the assistance of Mr. Uriah Stover
who soon came to their assistance, succeed
ed in saving a small amount of furniture.
The house, we are informed, was the prop
erly of Mr. Hastings' mother, who resides
on Spring street. Both the house and fur
niture was fully insured.
On Saturday Mr. Uriah Stover, David
Knox, Mr. Grove and several other neigh
bors assisted Mr. Hastings in planting a
Hold of corn which he had in progress.
Kro tlii* they have likely assisted him in
erecting a temporary residence to occupy
until he shall rebuild his house. 'Die h>s*
is a great inconvenience to Mr. Hastings,
hut we are glad to bear he is surrounded by
friends who testify to their sympathy by
aiding him in hi* misfortune.

ing very near. It is to be held in the Sec
ond Presbyterian church, Altoona, on
Tuesday, Wednesday aril Thursday, the
3d, 4th and 6th of June. Il will be of un
usual interest, not only because Altoona is
but a few hours' ride from Bellefonte, and
easy of access, but also on account of the
large number of distinguished clergymen
and laymen who will !*• present. Indeed,
if ail are present who arc programmed for
tho occasion, llio place will be perfectly
luminous with the accumulated wisdom,
wit and learning. Among the more nota
ble of those who will attend are Rev Rich

"THE BAHHATII TO RESANCTIFIED."—
The able and earnest pastor of the Presby
terian church devoted the burthen of hi*
sermon, on Sunday morning last, to a di
euion of the sanctity of the Sabbath, tak
ing for hi* text the Fourth Commandment,
explaining the precept* which it inculcates
in a forcible and convincing manner. He
commenced by saying that the keeping of
one day in seven is no new thing, but as
old as creation itself. He gave many in
stances of the observance of it by the an
cient Hebrews. It was not a day appoint
ed by God for the Jew* alone, but all na
tions were to be benefitted by it. Neither
was It, a* ome people argued, a day for
amusement, but for hearing and studying
God's h<>iy word and instructing our fam
ilies In spiritual things. He spoke of the
desecration of the Sabbath in large cities ;
how stores are kept open in some quarter#
and business carried on as on week days.
He dwalt With particular emphasis on the
running of the cars, and furnaces being in
full blast, thus preventing the employes
from enjoying that day of religious rest
which (iod intended and expressly com
manded they should have. Speaking of
the neglect of the day leading people Into
crime, he repealed parts of a conversation
he had, at one lime, held with a policeman
of New York, who told him that extra
preparations were made at the police sta
tions and at the hospitals for such as were
hurt on the Sabbath, transgressions of the
law being most frequent in that city on
that da/. s
THE Cimcra TO-MORROW.—At an early
hour to-morrow morning Batchellor and
Doris' great cirrus and menagerie will ar
rive in town. The advent of a circus al
ways marks a gala day in Bellefonte, and
il is generally well attended. The gay and
novel street parade, the music and all the
lively appurtenance* of a circus are cal
culated to make the saddest feel gay. The
show which exhibits to-morrow promises
to be even more than ordinarily attractive,
and only one-half the usual admission fee
will be charged. The gay-colored potter*
which occupy the bill-board* are handsome
ly executed and so far as can be seen no
expense haa been saved to render it in all
respects a superior exhibition. The great
elephant, Empress, is such an intelligent
creature that it is said she.sometimes al
most stands on her head. The acrobats
perform their feats so well that they appear
to be flying through the air, wings only
being needed to render the illusion perfect.
Several star performers accompany the cir
cus, and—well, go and sao il to-morrow
and laarn the rest.
AM EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.—"That
our daughters may be M corner stone* JKll
lihed after tho similitude of a palace," il
tho exquisite motto with which Miw A. Y.
Wi/od ward preface* the pamphlet explain
ing hur elegant family and day school at
Harrlsburg, I'a. In an existence of twelve
years this school has attained a merit"!
and rapidly-increasing popularity in all
parts of the State. The full course of in
struction rovers a period of twelve years,
although young ladies may enter at any
stage of advancement. Very few other
schools can compare with it in the advan
tages which il offers to those who would
obtain a finith'-d education. It is presided
over by the lady Principal and six compe
tent assistants and the curriculum em
braces ail (hat can tend to finish and mould
a young lady into a "perfect woman nobly
planned" combined with that practical
knowledge and Christian training which
will give her true stability of character.
A limited number of young ladies will be
received as boarding siud< uU. and they
can with safety bo entrusted to tho care of
the managers of the school.
Having been a patron of the school dur
ing the past throe and a half we can
speak with a confident knowledge of its
rneriu and conscientiously recommend St to
the parent* of Outre county who are
obliged to look abroad for an institution in
which to educate their daughter*. Any
ono calling at the DKM<M :.T office can
procure a circular containing the names of
the faculty and board of adv err, course of
study, oxje-nm* of tuition and other infor
tnalion in regard to the school.
A STATEMENT or FACTS.—Newman, the
King Clothier, whoso name has become
csdcbralod in every town and hamlet in
Centre county, gives this week a grand
statement of facts which will convince all
who read that he can undersell ail his com
mittor*. Head the following statcmcnt and
reflect:
Ist. He is aware that people wish lose,
bs t from a large stock, and therefore he
keeps c onstantly on hand a stock of cloth
;gg and gents' furnirliing exceeding
the combined stock of any three mixed
stores.
'2d. He buys at the very lowest whole
sale price#, and as his stuck is confined to
men's wear, he sells more in that particular
branch than any three storm in th county,
giving his customers the benefit of these
advantages.
3d. He has in connection with his cloth
ing store a merchant tailoring department.
He studies the wants of his c ustomers close
ly. They can thus procure frotn his <-stab
iisbment cheaper and better clothing than
from any other store in Centre county.
ilk, and finally. Persons cannot read the
above without arriving at the conclusion
that New man run and set U unJrrtell all the
stores that keep a little of everything and
not much of anything, and thus try to de
ceive the people. Purchasers will find that
his motto is, "Honesty and square dealing,
the best of goods at the very lowest figures."
Tv *o*K' M. K. COXVIXTIOX.—The
first church convention of the Altoona
District, Central Pennsylvania Conference,
wdl assemble in Tyrone on the 27th, 2*th
and 2f*th of this month, and we see that
a large amount of Centre county talent i*
on the programme. Rev. A. R. Cronce
and our musical friend L. T. Eddy, are to
see that tho convention is well supplied
with music. Colonel I). If. Hastings is
instructed to show tho convention from the
depths of bis fertile brain "the best way to
secure the more general reading of whole
some literature." The convention will
also receive a little of the wisdom of Mr.
Austin Curtin on "How to promote sys
tematic giving." Our friend, Rev. A I)
Yucum, is perhaps better calculated to give
instruction on his special portion of the
programme than any one who could have
boon selected, via., "Christian courtesy, as
related to church growth." Professor John
8. W. Dean, of Slate College, will give his
osperience in "High Kducation as an Aux
iliary to Church Work." Rev. J. B.
Akers and Stewart S. Lyon will each v*n
tilatc the subject of "Class Meetings—our
duty as members of the church in relation
Ihereto and how best to conduct them."

Philipsburg Journal records some improve
ments which have recently been making
in that ancient burg. That energetic cit
iacn, Mr. J. N. Casesanova, is erecting a
handsome residence on the site of the
former residence of J. C. Allport, Kq.
He will probably introduce electric light
into the building. The brick edifice owned
and occupied by Esquire Herd in connec
tion with the Journal oflice and residence
are blooming under the influence of fresh
paint. The properties of Dr. Blackburn,
Mr. O. 1\ Jones, Mr. William Hudson
and C. T. Fryberger have each beea en

has also lately undergone additions for the
better accommodation of its guests.
