Last week we had a notice prepared

—When J. Newman, Jr., order* goods

stand all about it.

his power to recover it. The manufacturer
in England saw the advertisement, and
telegraphed to Mr. Laulh that he had re
ceived word that the watch was at Cincin

cinnati and now haa the watch safely In

—The water question i# on" of grat im
psirtance to tli citir.cn* of licllafunta.
That the present Hindu of supply i* alto
gether too ex|Hiii*ivo and burdensome is a
conceded fact, and there appears to be a
general demand upon the borough coun
cil to do something to lesson tho cost of
running the work* at the Spring, which,
at best, in time* of need, rarely furnish
an adequate supply. In 1M77 the expense
of running the engine at the water works
was, for

We understand that last Monday even

proposition to tliu town Council : First,
He would sell them, for $'.,000, a piower nl
the Planing mill of all tho water that
would pa** through one hundred and forty
four square inches, under a presmro of
twelve feet head, which could be taken in
H fifteen inch pipe to tho Hig Spring,
where a wheel could be put in at a co-t of
more, making aiiout thirty-live
horse power at s>*,2oo tho interest on
which would bo s('.*2 p<-r annum. Second,
lie would furnish and keep in repair tin*
power at the Spring for sl,l#*'per annum.
The-o proposition* of Mr. Rush would
seem to demand the careful consideration
of the borough council.

—The Opera lloilse saloon is being or
namented in a style that must certainly bo
very satisfactory to it* numerou* frequent

IjT popular rostauraul that it* old patrons
will scarcely recogniae iC Mesr* Yeager
Ac Downing, it* proprietors, doservo great
credit for this improvement, and they will

—Some of the young folk# in Itellefonte
are agitating the subject of organising n
Archery Club. What'# the use of that?—
our young ladies already understand the
art to perfection. They are a* arch and a#
saucy as we would rare to have them.
And when they once attempt to shoot—
e#|>o<;ial)y If the missiles IK? Cupid's arrox s
—they go straight to tho male heart every
time. Don't organise an Archery Club, or
we will have to get a new suit of armor for
protection.
—The market for gentlemen's dress
goods of ail kind# is very active, and man
ufacturers are preparing for a large tra<le.
Tills Is owing largely to the immense sales
madn by J. Newman, Jr., on Allegheny
street; and a* lie only sells tho bo#t goods,
it has caused the manufacturers all over
the country to give more care to the manu
facture of this kind of good*.
Federmycr, the man who recently
walked through Milesburg on hia way to
New York trundling a wheelbarrow, is ex

Poller, his competitor, it a long distance

quence of Fedcrmyer riding in a wagon
twenty-three milca and not going to Halt
Lake, Potter is likely to receive the purse.
—The temperance meetings in connec.
lion with the Women'* Christian Temper,

Valentine.
TN* lIKJNWOKKKUM DEDICATE.—On
Sunday afternoon last a very largo part of
the public responded t<> tlin Invitation to
aid the iron worker* in dedicating the pretty
little building which they have just com
pleted near Valentines' Forgo*. Many of
our citizens rodu out in their private
conveyance*, but w joined the morn
*eleet few who walked through the thick
• lut to the place of destination. Kvery
available arid omu unavailable place* worn
occupied, and several manculine cranium*
could be seen looking In through the win
dow*. We Were glail to *ee that at b'B-t
two-third* of the audience were of the '
more attractive cx ; hilt mutt admit that
on such occasions it i* better if the gentle
men are in the majority, especially when
ihtt grand finale service cornea that of col
lecting money to pay oil' the debt. We
Were, however, sorry to sett that the fair
sex seemed on this occasion to be extreme
ly afraid of the gentlemen, and all crowd
ed together in one side of the room. A
graceful damsel, weighing about three
hundred pounds avoirdupois, would coma
floating in, ami would squqer.o herself into
space just sufficient to hold Ii fly pound*
with ease, arul would contemplate with
horror the possibility of le-ing compelled
t" take a seat with the gentlemen. Hut,
in consequence of being in the majority,
they were at lat compelled to approach
in Intimate contact with the steamer sei.
Jut before the services began, Key*.
Hewitt, Higgart, Laurie and Furst, of
this place, with Rev. King, of Mtlcshurg,
made their way to the platform, and pre
sented a very dignified tableau imbed a*
they settled quietly ill their positions ; and
caused a silence to fall over the audience,
who waitM in expectation. Then a choir
• f Ih-ilcfonte's favorite singer* Messrs.
Hlanchard and Keller and Misses Lyon
gathered around a pretty little organ—the
proje-rty, w<- Itclivve, of the ironworker*
and treated the a-'Cmhly with a lovely
voluntary rendered m a manner worthy
of the occasion. At the dictation of K-v.
King, the audienec were led in tinging
•'All llail. ' Then, after prayer by Rev.
Higgart arid fading of the Sri; lure, by
lb r. Laurie, a happy *ddre was made
by Rev. Hewitt, containing much - arm t
thought and g.l advice. Tbi >■ f I
lowed with a prayer by Rev Fur*t and
music, after which Mr. Kvan H!am bar I
r--ad the des-d of the building—tin* ln>t
being an intensely interesting n riiie!
Gen. Reaver, who lin<i j.il entered," made
some energetic r< mark, < all in ; attention to
the fact that about two hundred dollars are
due on the building, and that the trust's.,
de-ire to rai*e about five hundred dollars
to defray this debt and to furnish the up
l*>r apartment*. Five young gentlemen
then armed themselves with p*|*-r,
and hat*, and circulated through the audi
ence, collecting subscriptions and !<•*<• I
change Aia.ut ninety.threcr ddlars w.r<
immediately collected. An important part
of the closing pr<* ceding# was a return of
thanks by Mr. Robert Valentine, on behalf
of the trustees, to those w ho had helped to
make the occasion interesting and profita
ble. The audience was dimt>cd, after
having spent two hours very pleasantly.
TIIESTOKM ATftratwo Mit.i.*.--Regard
ing the storm which visited us on Friday,
11th instant, the following correspondence
of the Millheim Journal shows that in
that locality it was even more severe than
we ha*) thought It *ay "At John Chil
dren's it lore off* barn doors and uprooted
apple and cherry tree# At J. W. K vans'
it took away pari of the old chimney and
tore down a large number.of tree*. At
P. A. Aunian t part of the barn roof was
carries! away At M 11. I*eite||'s it threw
two large oak tress* into the garden, de
stmying nearly everything in it. The fine
willow trees in front of Mr. Peter Wilton s
were much injuresl. The road became so
obstructed a* to IKS impassible after the
storm. The road through George's Val
ley was entirely blockaded. Over 6.0C0
tree* were blown down from here up along
Sinking creek. At \V. F. Rcrick's the
storm tore off the barn doors, carried out
a buggy that was standing in the harn and
broke it into kindling wood. Near Farm
er's Mills Iten. Smith's stable wa* unroofed.
Mr. Geo. Spicer's house, with all the fur
niture in it, was blown to atoms and scat
tered to the winds; all that was left un
broken is one cup, one saucer and one
plate. The roof and second floor were car
ried over a woods into Rishel's field. Mr.
Spicer and family were absent at the time
the itirm happened, else the loss of some
live* would probably IKS mourned. Fish
er's *aw mill wa* unroofed, Kachau's chim
ney torn down, and much other damage
wa* done all around here to buildings,
fence* and trees."
DXATH FROM A RUKAWAT.—Tho infor
mation received by us on Saturday last
wa* heart rending in the extreme. It was
of the death of Mr. Michael Hettinger, of
George's Valley, on the Tuesday previou*.
We learn that Mr. 11. wa* driving two
spirited horses, which frightened at one of
the large treea that had been blown
down along the roadside and ran away.
Mr Hettinger wa# thrown from the vehicle,
and as hi* foot caught In the trace* he wa*
dragged a long distance. In the course of
this terrible ride be received a blow on the
head from some object from which he died.
The unfortunate man leaves eight children
and many friends to mourn hi* lose. Hi*
funeral, which occurred on Thursday last,
wa* the largest that ever took place In the
Valley. The bereaved friend* have our
earnest sympathy.

DKOWSRI* —On Wednesday evening,
sav * tlie* Ih*l number of the l'hjli|*sburg
J'lumaf, aeveral mall boy*, among whom
wa* Harry Hall, a lad of about nine year*
of ag, went in iwlmming, in the dam
connected with 11 over, Harri* A Co. a
• mill, below Hlue Ilall, and wa* acei
denlly drowned. From the rejort we
learn that Harry, who ha* been a member
of hi* uncle, Thorns- Cry an* family, for
some *i* vi a A | let, *tarl'-d from the house
alauit five nt ha k on that evening, with hie
companion*, boy* about hi* age and *iw* t
and jumped into the water which at ono
place i* raid t* be ten feet deep. The other
boys b iiig able to *wiin *otne little, could
pa Idle out of the ib* p water, but Harry
could not *witn and began to rink. The
boy* were unable to help him. and no one
ebe around that could render any aid, the
little fellow ank the last time. The alarm
wa* immediately given but the b*ly wa*
not recovered until nine or ten o'clock m
the evening, lb ing a grandson of Mr.
John May*, the funeral took place from
bi re.idenee Friday ni >ming.
BAMI F KTIVAL. —At a meeting hehl
!a*t Monday evening by the Mountain
City Rand it wa* determined to hold a fes
tival on Friday and Saturday evening* of
next week, the first and aocond of August.
The festival will lie hold In the usual place .
the vacant room in McClain'* building,
opposite our office. Now, the Almanac
ay (by the way, we have not consul tod
the Almanac, but we are convinced that it
should say so) that the first and second
day* of August will lie unusually warm,
and the only relief afforded from the heat
will be by partaking of some of the ice
. rreani which will be for sale at the festival
So it will lie well for evcrybsdy to prepare
lhem*clvos, financially and pbyically, for
j the reception of a large amount of ire
| cream and rake on that occasion. If the
articles for sale at the festival are a* g**l
as the music which the band produce*, it
will be a rare treat.
—Kv h lime we pass the grocery store of"
S. A. Brew A Son, the windows of the
store look different. Sometime* they will
Im* filled withconfectionerv. then there will
l>e fruit, and again the space will be occu
pied by some kind of groceries, both heavy
and light. They can only exhibit a por- ,
lion of their goods at one time, hut they
vary It from day to dav, putting them
selves to much trouble, attracting a
large trade.
