Mr. Holmes, Altoona'#dairyman, whs in town yesterday. —Mr. Harry Williams, of Philipsburg, was in town on Sunday last. Mr. William P. Duncan has been spending a few day# in town. —The exterior of the Bush House is now undergoing a thorough re-painting. —Gen. Tom Thumb and hi# minute car riage pleased the children yesterday morn ing. —The now hall at Pleasant (lap will be dedicated with appropriate ceremonies on July 4. —Telephones now stretch in every di rection snd business men sjiend their leis ure time in gossiping with one another. Editor Tuten will connect his office and bouse by telephone so that he can give orders as to what shall bo p.eparcd for meals. —We were pleased to sco Michael P. Holt, £*q., of Howard, who favored us with a call while in town last Friday morning. —Mr. Jacob Bower, ono of the substan tial farmers of Haines township, is in town this week on a visit to his son, C. M. Bower, Esq. —Tho Undine* expect to have a good time at Harrisburg on the Fourth, a# the Mayor of that city writes that he ha* n<# doubt the company will bo welcomo there on that day. —For the best groceries people will do well to visit the establishment of 8 A Brew & Son, on Allegheny street, next the Post-office. Thoir prices are reasonable and their goods of the best. —At the meeting of Gregg Post of Grand Army of tho Republic on Tuesday night nine new members were mustered in. The Post will hereafter meet on the first and third Saturday# of each month. —The favorite dish just now with those who can afford it is strawberry shortcake , and the favorite place with all gentlemen to buy clothing is the Eagle Clothing Hall on Allegheny street, kept by J. Newman, Jr. —Lost week a number of the staid riti *,cn# of Bellefonte were somewhat disposed to be belligerant. Wo do not like to par ticularise, but Adolph Loeb tells a good story and so does Jock Spangler. For further information go to them. —We were delighted to welcome the tail and handsome form of Mr. Cyrus C. Rrumgard, of Mile# township, to our office lost Saturday morning. We hope he found the few moments spent with us sufficiently pleasant to induce him to call again. —The Millheim Journal says that on Friday, the 30th of May, a little daughter of Mr. C. W. Hartman, of that place, had the misfortune to fall down the step* in the rear of his residence and break her collar bone. At last accounts she was doing well. —Mr. Olio Meek, of this place, ac cording to the Altoona Trihunr, was in that city lat Thur*day. H* had been in attendance upon the funeral of hi* uncle, the late Daniel L. Martin, of Martinburg ) which occurred on tho Wednesday pre vious. —Wo have had a very large number of pleasant callers since our lat issue, and among them wo cannot refrain from men tioning thone of Daniel Irwin, Esq., of Julian Furnace, and Mr. P. J. Dunkln, of Handy Ridge, each of whom wc trust will call again. —An exchange says that "a sensible man in Indiana last week willed $l,OOO to each of bis county paper*." If there is any gentleman in this neighborhood ar ranging matters for a happy exit from this world, we call his attention to this Indiana man's action. —We had always understood that the in habitant* of Paradise neither " die or are given in marriage;" but, according to the Hun bury Dtmorral, Benjamin C. Burkey and Hannah Louisa Ditxler, both hailing from Paradise, were married on the 22d of last March. —Tba team of horses belonging to Mr Vonada, who was attending market last Saturday morning, ran off, and one of them, we believe, was somewhat injured. Mr. V. left them stsnd a moment, when two of those useful (7) animals—dogs—engaged in a set-to near the horses feet with the above result. —Mr. and Mrs. Frank Reed, of Lock llaven, visited Bellefonte last weak and favored our office with a call. Mr*. Reed was formerly Miss Mary Campbell, of this place. Time deals gently with this young couple, and on each succeeding visit to Bellefonte tbey seem to grow more band tome than before. —Altoona und Tyrone were, lost week, on Thursday after noon and nljflit, visited by terrible storms of wind and rain, ac contpaniod by lightning, Iho one at night being particularly aavero. In Altoona a telegraph pole wo* demolished, the rei donee of I*. K. Lee, on Eighth avenue, wait ntrtick by lightning and narrowly camped being burned to tbo ground, and aoveral accident* of miner irnportanee happened. In Tyrone the storm m even more furl ouit. The county bridgo which span* the Juniata wan wrecked boyond repair, the largo corrugated iron roof bark shod of 1). I*. Kay was demolished, the machine shops of W. 11. II Nivling & Co. wore badly damaged, and Mr. Joshua Cox, a machinist, was seriously injured by fulling timber*. Immense damage was also done to fruit and shade trees, and several per sons narrowly escaped with their lives. On the whole wo can congratulate our selves that we reside in llollefonte, for those two towns, particularly Altoona, are constantly devising soma way to kill off their surplus population, and now it ap pear* that the element* themselves have conspired to aid them. Last week on Wednesday nineteen person# arrived at the llush House. This number was exceeded on the following day, twenty-one urriving. This evidences a pretty sound condition of prosperity, when a hotel, at a time when there is no especial inducement, can thus attract guests. This is mainly due to judicious advertising. Mr. lloppcs, in addition hi advertising in all the county pajs'rs, lias hi# c*rd inserted in three city papers. Ti# true, that such elegant accommodations as can be obtained at the Hush House will aid in giving popularity, but a landlord may give good entertainment until he grows old and his hair becomes gray, and unless he advertises it would be better for him to cease his business immediately. —Onn of our exchanges, which is to us of special local value, is the Millheim Journal. We frequently take the liberty of clipping from its columns, alway# giv ing it credit We ho|>o this statement will commend itself to the proprietors of that paper as a sufficient mason why they should always be careful to send us a well printed copy, as doing so will prove mu tually advantageous. The content* of the last number was good, but the print was scarcely visible to the naked eye. —The Millheim Journal give* the names of tho delegate* who will represent the Synod of Central Pennsylvania at the General Synod of the Lutheran church of tho I'nitcd States, which met at Woo*- tor, Ohio, on tho 11th instant. The cleri cal members, are Hevs John Tomlinson, J. G. Anspacb, J. K. Miller and A. Lines. Four lay members are also appointed, via: I). L D.-rr, M D., ft. H. II .ffman, W. Kolder and Col. Wm. Willis. —The cla of Mrs. Thomas Reynolds, in tho Episcopal Sabbath-sehoo!, seems to bo especially "full of good works." The last exploit in this direction was when they visited tho Centennial Club Koom and had it thoroughly cleaned and improved in general appearance by their united efforts It was this samo class that presented a prayer desk recently to Rev. Hewitt, the rector, and we shall wait patiently to hear of more good works from them. —Tho following communication from Roland, this county, came just too late for admission in last week's Dkmochat : Ki.it->** I'SCT*T ['ivtiit With , -nt (en iti' n, f wlh to flat* ihruii|h jrwr -ImtM that lr.

The Centra Hall ID/>orlrr, which of course wn on the spot and got the benefit of it all, ha* this to say : "The orator for the occasion, Hon. John H. Linn, was then introduced, and delivered his address, which was well prepared and delivered iq a distinct tone, and was full <.f patriotic sentiment. The deeds of valor of the Union soldier, who forsook home and all that was dear to him, for hi* country's sake, were eloquently alluded too. Mr. Linn also told some Interesting Incidents of the days of '7' l, in which the early set tler* of our valley were participators. His address throughout was listened too with breathless silence.

F. Fortrky, Chairman. OIL Is KLR'l. —Oil has developed a new tic -IN of transporting itself from place to pi*. and in that has gained an advantage 'over Iron, which ha* so long reigned as King. The arrival of oil from the Brad ford oil districts to the city of William*- J*'RT ha# an a* JEVT as amusing as it* re sult was successful. As soon as the oil commenced running into the pipes at the Bradford end of the line, the J.onp]E of Williamsport, one hundred mile* away, who had gathered at the neurit of the pijc, imagined that they could hear tho noise caused by escaping air. For three or four LONG days there those plnnt Wil liam*pnrter STOOD with mouths agajic, and eyes WIJO open, El|>ecting each moment to behold the slipjiery liquid come rushing forth. Several time* the entire stillness was disturbed by the premature announce ment that the oil had arrived, as some one thought he felt the splash of an oily spray, but, on examination, it proved to be only an unusual exudatiou of perspiration, which warm weather and agony of expectation is calculated to force from the skin. But time wore on ; and as the hour when the oil must arrive drew near, the dignitaries of the pipe line came flocking to W., and on Tuesday, moved by a* GREAT excitement a* marks a Presidential election, they sat around the month of that pipe all night. At last morning dawned, the rushing noise of the coming oil became louder and louder, the heart* of those Wllliamsportcr# quaked, checks tingled and eyes sparkled with ex citement, and a mighty shout rent the air as at last the first smsll stream of oil came trickling through the pipe. Williamsport bond stock instantly mounted up one hun dred percent.; tho hungry creditor# an nounced that an extension of time will be allowed ; and the general exultation of the people Is on a par with the tops of the beautiful hill* which surround the rity. Altogether It was an occasion of great trlat to W. Morr About Decoration Dat.— We believe that the Decoration ceremonies at Millheim and Asronthurg were the only one# held in the county of which wo could not get authentic information in lime to report last week. From the account In the Journal, we perceive that they were conducted at Millheim in a manner befit ting the occasion. Addresses were made at the cemetery by Rev*. W. R. Whitney and S. G. Shannon. The procession wa# large, the soldiers under command of Captain Van Valin being especially notice able. Bev. 8. G. Shannon also delivered a lecture in evening in Odd Fellows' Hall on the subject of • Odd Fellowship." At Aaronsburg the decoration com menced at 6 R- m. there being the graves of six soldiers in the Lutheran cemetery and two In the Reformed cemetery. The procession wa* all that could he desired. Addresses were delivered hy Rev. J. G. Shoemaker and by Messrs. 0 Sumner Musser. Kd. Shoemaker, Jacob M. Stover, James D. Boyer and J. P. Unburn. Cuußcutta o* Suroay Lat.— At tho Episcopal church, on Sunday morning, Kov. John Hewitt, preached with hit usual eloquence on the subject of "The Trinity." Job 23 : fi, 0, 10 was chosen a* bis text, and the importance which llio church places on the belief in this doctrine was much dwelt Upon. Persons who do not believe it are excluded from membership. The objection j to it because there is a mystery involved is foolish, as there Is so much in nature, providence and grace which must las nr. cepted without a thorough understanding. The Kevnrend gentleman regarded it ratti er the so lutum of a mystery than the mys tery itself, as God is represented in tho Scriptures us ojierating through his Hon and Spirit, and in no other way can this three-fold nature be projierly explained. "Baptism" was the topic of the evening. Itcv. Hewitt said that the mode of admin istering this rile is not considered by the Bilde as un eesential, the only necessary form being the application of water in the name of the Trinity. He, however, con sidered that the burden of proof is in fu\or of the mode taught hy the church, viz., louring. But to attempt to do justice to the many argument* given in favor of tin* particular form of administration, by tbe Beverend gentleman, would be so inade quate with the original that we desist. 11 seemed to be conclusive to all who beard | him. The Presbyterian congregation on Sun day listened to two new voices from their pulpit, in the morning Ilev. Bingham delivered an impressive sermon and con cluded with an appeal in behalf of an edu cational institution, in the interest of which he is traveling Prof. Beach, who taught at the Bellefonte Academy last x<-sr, and who has sj-ent two years at Princeton Theological Seminary, delivered the ser mon in the evening. 1 Tiir. Goon Timk Comir' —At time* when we have suffered a fit of melancholy to c<>me over us, we've sal in our aanrtum lanrtorium and thought how nice it would be if we but had the wings of the morning and could fly away over all tbe land and listen to some of the great orator# of the present day, whose flowing language and jnlisfu-d rhetoric would soothe our troub : lons fi-chngs. We ve thought how much there is in the world, and how little it ha* U-en our pleasure to see. But now there comes a realizing sense of how vain are all such wishes. An announcement tills us that on Friday, the 2th of this month, a colored ramp-nu-eling will eminence, in the beautiful grove of Mrs. Thomas, north-west of tbe fair ground, wht< h will continue until Monday, June 30. The particularly pleasing fart of this announce ment is that which tells us that they will bring with thi in living representative* of all tbe great ministers of the day, and that merely with the exertion of tho energy which is required to carry us to an average agricultural fair we can hear all the gri-at speaker* and singer* who are worth bear ing The announcement promises the pre. - MOO of "Tho People's Favorite," "The Theologian of the Conference," "The In vincible," "The Young Mpurgeon of the A.

Sept 7. diw OniTrxßV. —lt is with sincere pain the duty devolves upon us to announce the death of Mrs. Harriet McCafferty,the wife of Charles McCaffertr, of this place, in the 51th year of her age. Mrs. McCaffc.'ty was the youngest daughter of the late James Williams, whom our older ritisen* will re member with pleasant recollections. It ia alway* distressing to separate from our friends and consign them to the tomb, but when the grim monster rlaims I our loved one* it soften* our grief to be as sured that death ha* no terror for them and that they can, aa in tbi* instance our friend did, calmly and trustingly look for- ward to "the sleep that knows no waking '' . in this world, as tbo reward of a well-spent lifts. Mr*. McCafFerty had boat* of friend* and relations, but to her husband and chil dren her loss is irreparable. She wasadtvot ed wife and mother, and ever rendered her home the happiest place on earth to them, and they in return clung to her with that confiding love and affection that a good wife and mother only is r*|tne of whom have just arrived at manhood, who, as time furrows their own brow*, will cherish a* tbeir brighiwt recollections the beautiful character they loved in their mother. 8. Teachers, Attentio*.— The Bellefonto School Board met last Thursday morning, for organisation, and elected Mr. A. O. Furst, as President, Mr. John Harris, Treasurer, and W. C. Heinle, Esq., Secre tary. The new board will meet again on Tuesday the 24th of June, when teachers for the coming school term will be elected. This is an important proceeding and it i* desirable to have a full attendance of the Board. —We have heard that both Mr. William Wolf and his son, of this place, rerontly lost cow* on the railroad, one being killed outright and the other being *o maimed aa to necessitate shooting. —Our genial old friend, A.O. Hinton, ex-County Commissioner, did not forget to make the Democrat a pleasant call on his last visit to BelUfonia.
