—A trout was caught in Spring Creek

"We believe that Mr. Frank Blair became

Mrs. James Mitchell and her daugh
ter, Miss Ollie Mitchell, of this place, de
parted on the HMO train Tuesday morning
to visit friends at Latrobe, Westmoreland
county. They will be absent about two
weeks.
—Now the rain has come and made us
all feel glad ; wo must never, never, never
more be bail. So, thoee ladies who con
sider themselves very, very fair should go
at once to the Bee Ilivo store and get
something nice to wear.
—We recommend our numerous renders,
and what few other persons there may he
In county, to buy their groceries from
the elegant stock of our grocers, H. A.
Brew A Hon. Those who cannot be satis
fied there wo verily believe would cry if

—Wo cheerfully pay a deserved compti
inont to Mr. door go \V. lbidgor*, the nmi
potent gentleman who now control* tho
wutor work*. It i* truo Unit ovor since ho
ha* occupied this poltion a ceaseless
stream of pure "Adam's Al" has conlinu
lod to How through tho pipe*. Temperance
1 pooplo especially have reason to bo grateful
for this, ax during tho dry, warm weather
which now prevail* much of tho tempta
tion to imbibe •omething stronger hax boon
removed, a* none can givd scarcity of wa
ter for nn excuse. Wo have not of latu
heard any complaint* from any quarter of
tho town about lack of water, and Mr.
George W. Rodger* can oomider our hat*
off to him a* a great public benefactor.
—Rev. John Hewitt, rector of the Kpis
copal church, led the meeting of the
Young Men'* Christian Association, la*t
Sunday afternoon, and delighted all who
heard him by the good taste he displayed
in choosing and treating hi* subject, hi*
smooth, (lowing atul convincing language
and eay delivery. The exercise* were
further engaged in by (ien. Beaver and
Mr. Jarne*Sommervillo, of this place, Mr.
Young, of Baltimore, and Rev*. Hughes
and Laurie, of this place. The Association
hope* to have the pleasure of enjoying the
presence and aid of Rev. Hewitt frequently
in the future.
—lt i* quite refreshing to notice tho
many superior qualities constantly being
discovered in the general make-up of our
h-gul and learned friend, Judge Orvia. It
hax long boon recognized that as a legisla
tor and Judge he hax no superior, and now
| our exchanges convey the additional infor-
I mnlion that tho Judge i* the most expert
angler in the State. We had more than
half suspected this, and will Ik> fully con
: viuced on the practical attestation of it in
j _ 1
tho receipt of a dozen or more fair-sized
I'rexh mountain trout —fruit of tho Judge'*
own piscatorial skill.
—The sermon of Rev. Frank Wetzel,
who preached in the Lutheran church of
this place ]at Sunday morning, is describ
ed by those who heard it a* an ahlo pro
duction. Though provided with copious
notes, he was enabled, after proceeding
with his sermon, to speak almost without
referring to them. The subject was in
reference to tho "I'nity of tho Church of
Christ." It is quite evident that, endued
a* tho young gentleman i with a love for
hi* occupation, careful and earnest practice
only is required to make him a moalefTect
| ivo preacher.
A large number of guest* are soon to
urrive and take up their summer residence

able to furnish sufficient entertainment to
give a plea*ant summer to all.

and K. JV. Hale, 11. P. Blair, James I
Dennis, Samuel T. Johnston and Howard
Watley, of Philip*burg, this county.
—Among the distinguished I'hiladei
phian* in town this week, we notice the
name* of \V. W. Me K wen, of the grocery
house of Wainwright V Co., and Tnoma*
' Foster, of tho Frislirnuth tobacco house,
regi* tered at th< Bna kerhoff; and James
11. oung, of Zeigler <fc Swearlngen's
notion house, at the Hush House. We have
no doubt their numerous customers here
were ail glad to see them.
Wilson, McFarlann V Co. are head
quarters for the farmers. Wo notice A
large number of Cultivators, Shovel-Plows.
Double Harpoon Hay Fork" and Rope and
Pulleys of all sizes. The latest improve
ments are always secured by them and *dd
at the lowest prices. They are willing to
give the farmer as low prices as ho can
secure directly from the manufacturer.
—As the season advances J, Newman,
Jr., still enjoy* a very large share of pa
tronage. He employs such elegant work
men, and constantly has on hand such a
large and complete stock of ready-made
clothing, thst people of Centre county are
| thoroughly conrinccd that it is to their
interest to buy of him.
Mr. Jamrs McCartney hss a very
handsome design of ornamental tissue fly
pafier which he is prepared to hang in
stores, shop* and saloon* at a reasonable
price. Person* desiring anything of tho
kind would do well to give Mac a chance.
Order* may be loft at Yeager' Saloon.
They will roceivo prompt attention.
—Newman, Jr., is his name and some
people call him King;.but then these
great men zre not dismayed when we
titles at them fling. He's a bigger man
than (Irani, every time; and tho way he
manufactures gent clothes is just subline ;
gentlemen, buy of him and you will always
look fine.
—-\t ilson, McFarlsno A Co. have se
cured the sole agency for Centre cotin'y of
the unsurpassed Double Harpoon Hay
Fork, which gave such universal satisfac
tion last year. Farmers, bewara of the
useless imitation* of this wonderful fork.
Buy none but the genuine.
—The Rev. W. A. Biggsrl seem* to be
an indefatigable worker. In addition to
the oration Friday afternoon, he preached
in the country on Saturday night, and per
formed his usual duties on Sunday.
WISDOM FitoM TIIK Pct.RlT.—Tho two
sermons delivenal by Rov. John Hewitt
last Sunday were caelum interesting and in
structlvo tlint they canuot bo passed over
without notice, The morning discourse
wu# founded on Deuteronomy 10:10, "Three
timer n yenr shall nil the male# appear he
foru tlio Lord thy Goil in the plnoo which
he shall choose ; in the feast of unleuvened
bread, nnd in the feast of weeks, and in !
the feast of tabernacle* , hut ye shall not
come tiefore the Lord empty." The rector
referred to the services of the church.
That collect* were known to have been
' compiled as early as the fourth century, |
j and are in use by the Lutheran and several 1
j other denominations. That they each have
reference to some separate blessing we re
[ reive from God, and all point to Christ as
the chief corner-stone of the church. That
the services of the church ure divided into i
I two part*—first, those having reference to !
' tho mysteries of religion, and, second, \
i those putting the same into practical ap- I
plication. That Whit Sunday, or l'cnte-
I cost, was tho close of the first part. In
| the early days of the church no distinction |
i wa< made between communicants and non- !
communicant*. All who were baptized '
J were admitted to the privilege, which it ,
' was customary to celebrate whenever thcv !
I
I met together, nnd although it wan not nec
| essary for all to Join on each oceasion, they
' were r< quired to do so at least three time*
in the year. At these times they must not
I come before the Lord empty-handed, but
j must give of what they have according as j
, the Lord ha* prosjiered them, at least ones
i tenth of their income. The Imril : # iv •to
; in the capability to accumulate wealth ;
and ha* a Just right to demand a full part
nership. This i* no recent demftnd, either,
as it was required a* long ago as the time
of Abraham, who gave tithe* to Melchiz
"dec. The discourse closed with a strong
exhortation for all to present them selves a*
often as potsiblo for communion.
The first clause of Job 13 fi was the top
ic in the evening, "Ho takelh the wise in
their own craftiness. " Prominent instance*
were given in illustration, principally the
somewhat notorious Tom Paine. The ut
terances made by hitn wl.cn in hi* days of
health, and th -<• made afterwards when on
u wa-ting bed of sickness were contrasted
with line effect. It was known that Tom
Paine wrote much le-fore he died, but
these writings have never been published.
If they had consisted of-snore intidcl argu
| ment* his assr-ciato* would hastily have
given them to the world. M-n make reason
their God. They conrlnde that all r< wards
*nd punishments are visited on people jn
this life and hence p.#, ludo that there is
no hereafter. The revelation* we have of
th*.] are t<> strong to las overthrown.
When the devout Arah was a*k--d how he
knew there was a God, he answered, "How
did I know that a earns-! passed my tent
la-t night but by these track* in the sand
and |jinliiig to the sun setting in the west
ern heavens, he said, "I know that those
re not the track* of man. The entire
discourse was replete with convincing in
cident and argument.
A*a most marvelous answer to pray- {
er, we ncesl only mention that on .Sunday
in many churches there went up from the
minister's lips the entreaty for "moderate
showers of rain, 1 ' and we listened with
pleasure to the fervent "Anient" which
followed the prayer; when lo! 'ere the
words of the evening petiti'.n have scarce
ly pasted from his li|s# there came the wel
, come sound of a refreshing shower. This
was f.dlow-d on Monday, after a prolong
ed drought, by one of the most delightful,
penetrating rains which ha* ever been ex
perienced. This should make us rejoiee,
and should also convey to us iu appropri
ate lesson.
—We were prai li> ally convinced of the
fact that the enterprising firm of Furoy A
Dawson have opened their delightful lee
cream saloon by the gift of some elegant
ice cream and cake Monday after
noon. If that sent IIM# a sample of what
may always be obtained at this establish
ment .we must say that they deserve and
will doubtless obtain most of the patron
age. Hereafter when a young lady hinU
to her beau that ico cream is very desir
able, wo would recommend her to mention
that Kuroy A Dawson's ico cream is par
ticuiarly so. They are located in Bush's
Arcade building.
—Oh, how wo should enjoy Wing at
Manhattan Beach on Saturday of next
wcok when this new summer resort will
open amid a crash of instrument* which is
advertise,! a* the finrtt prnj/ramme ever
ytrrsi at any concert in the Unite,t Stale*.
Then, every day tho charms of the place
will be intensified by the presence of Gil
morc's Band and tho far-famed Cornctisl. j
! "Levy." Tho finost hotel of ila kind in
tho world is there and a balloon ascends
every day. Any ono who want* a near
approach to Elysium itself need only re
main a few week at Manhattan Beach.
—The festival for the benefit of the M.
K. church last Friday and Saturday was a
success. The receipts wore over sixty dol
lar*, nnd fully fifty dollars of this will
prove a clear profit- Thi* should make our
M. K. brethren feel a* gay and festive a*
a big sun-flower and certainly merit* our
congralulalien.
-—Mr. John Anderson, of thi* place, lost
an interesting little boy, under distressing I
circumstances, last Sunday morning, lie
was attacked on the evening previous by
inflammation of the bowels, superinduced
by a bath, anl died early tho following i
morning.
PkOOfcUM OK lIIK RollllKKH —A N IrN
WL 1.1. IMM PRINONKR. Fortunately tho
course of robbery, liko that of true love,
doo* not always run smoothly. Homo per
son or person* who calculated on securing
a good haul from the residence of our yw.et
master, Mr John Johnson, last Saturday
I night, only succeeded in putting them
selves to much inconvenience and accom
plished nothing. The family of Mr. John
son remained up until a late hour on that
evening, and because of the oppressive
<tato of the utmospbero allowed the door*
of the house to remain open. Mr. Bobber
thought he WHS going to have what is
| called in language more expressive than
elegant a "soft" thing of it- w lien he
entered the open door of the basement
kitchen and concealed himself in a dark
corner. At about eleven o'clock the good
j lady of our postmaster descended to the
j kitchen and fastened the *oniewhnt cogppli
| cated lo< k of the outside door, which she
1 did with a blissful unconsciousness of this
terrible man gazing at li-r from the cor
' tier. On ascending from the kitchen, she
i as usual locked the door leading tip-stairs,
1 thus cutting off Mr. Robber's further en
! trance into the house. When he thought
, that the inmates were safely locked in the
arms of Morpheus, Mr. Robber commenced
making explorations in his underground
retreat. He found be could not with safe
ty force his way into the house, and find
j mg nothing to delight his eye or please
his taste in the kitchen, be considered that
a r.-treat would be the b< tier part of valor.
Rut 10, he could not manipulate the lock,
and his heart began to quake with guilty
tear at this prospect of his exit Wing cut
■ .ff. Desperation gave him strength and
ho succeeded in forcing hi* way out, hut
in doing so he awoke Mrs. Johnson.
On an examination Wing instituted, it was
found that nothing had been carried away
by this individual ; indeed, wo doubt not
he is now congratulating himself that he
<•>< aped with a whole skin.
It is also said that a being resembling
one of the genu* RobWr was s.i-n prow ling
around tlio residence of Gen. James A
Reaver, but that Mr. Cameron Burnside
looked at him and the robber fled.
TIIK TZMI'KKAXCE MASS MRKTINM. —
The evening of Decoration Day was ap

temperance mass meeting, which doubtless

treated our people to festival* on several
previous occasions, and only those who
