—A bold but unsuccessful attempt was
made on Monday night to burglarise the

had been present tho amount provided for
tho great feast would have been sufficient
to supply all.
The invited guest* assembled from all
part* of tho town at the usual dinner hour.
Many of tho prominent gentlemen came
accompanied by their ladi<-s. Person* from
every Occupation and from every station in

generous hospitality. Including the many
permanent boarder*, there must have been
over one hundred guest* in all who seated

Orange. J j r James Cald<-r and Brother*
J. A. Hunter, G. I>ale and Col. Weaver
were present and took active parts in all
the discussions. Worthy Master Leonard

held on the top of Nittanv Mountain, six
mile# south of Bellefonte, on the ground#
of Brother Henry Keller, on the 25th of
September, Two of tho most appropriate
and timely resolutions contained in the re

State College, via:

very great deal of astonishment, the report
presented to the last session of the Stale
legislature concerning the l'ennstlvania
State- College; that from cur knowfedge of
the pur|M>see and work of the institution,
the ability of its instructor* and students
we denounce said report as untruthful and
malicious in intent
lifKilrfti, That with a desire to benefit
the agricultural community, we heartily
commend the Collego to the patronage of
all who have aons and daughter# to educate
After a pleasing address by I)r, Calder
in which he said that the Grangers were

identical with the famous editor of the M ill

engraving of the "Lord's Supper." Then
the happy Granger* looked around at the
elegant carpet, the fine lace curtains and
the general luxuriousneas with which they
were surrounded in tbeir commodious hall,
they soon dispersed, each thoroughly Im
pressed with the idea that this had been
the most successful year that ever crowned
the effort* of the Grange organisation.
—With commendable enterprise the
proprietors of the Brvckerhoif House have

Z. 1
CITIZEN# OF MILTON AT BKLMCFONTB.
—On Thursday, of last week, a number of
the most prominent and enterprising citi
zens of Milton, Northumberland county,
Pa., arrived in Bellefonte, on a business
mission of importance to themselves, and
thut ciifisted considerable interest on the
part of many of their friends here. Tho
party consisted of Mr. Robert M. Frick,
Col. John McCleery, Mr. It. F. Wil
son, Mr. A. C'adwsllader, Mr. D. G. Marsh,
Mr. H. W. Murray, J. Hainan,
Dr. U. IJ. Davis and (Japt. William I*.
Dougal.
The object of the visit of these gentle
men to Centre county was to witness tho
working of Mr. Harrison Levy's machine
for making horse shoes, in tho success of
which they are interested. Arriving here
in the afternoon, they took up quarters at
the Bush House, and the balance of tbe
day was spent in viewing tbe town and its
beautiful surrounding*, and, by some of
tho party, in making call* ujon friend* and
acquaintances. Many of our citizens called
at the Bush House during the evening, and
until bed time the fleeting hours were
passed in pb-nsaiil social conversation and
amusement, into which all present entered
with xe#t and heartine*#, receiving in re
turn a full measure of enjoyment and
pleasure.
On Friday morning the party, accom
panied by Hon. John B. Linn, Mr. John
P. Harris, Mr. William Jenkins, Mr
William P. Humes, Mr. J. W Zeigler
and one of the editors of the DEMOCRAT,
proceeded in < arriage# p, Miiesburg, where
Mr. Levy has hi* machine in operation.
The building in which the machine is
set up i located at the end of the Bald
Kaglo Y alley railroad bridge, and the ar
rival of the party there seem# to have been
anticipated, for tbe engine was puffing, and
the furnace was glowing with a fervent
heat. The huge phi •of machinery wa#
an objn t of curiosity and wa# closely
scrutinised by every one before it was et j
in motion. After a short delay, necessary
for the adjustment of some of the parts,
Mr. Levy wa# ready for l-uinc and the
• juration of r< overling the straight ir--n .
bar# into horse #hoe began. The flr-l bar i
that ptueed through the machine wa# #e- j
ctisgd by Mr. Wilson arid it proved to t*-
a# perfect a horse #hoo a# ever was made ■
by a machine. Other* followed in quick
succession, and all were highly elats-d at I
the apparent mccess of the trial. The i
shoes that came from the machine were 1
sjwodUy cooled, and a comparison with j
pecimen* from other machine* was |
made, and it wa* unanimously voted |
that these produced by tbe Levy ma
chine were in all rej>*ctt equal to |
■ny with which they were tested
An adjournment to Judge Proudfool's j
"Curtin House then took place, and the
next thing in order wa# dinner. The j
genial old Judge wa# prepare.! for hi* t
guest# and et before them a substantial
and well prepared dinner. The exert i*e i
of tbe morning bad induced sharp ajqe
tite# and all ate with a hearty relish of the !
good thing* set before thera. After dinner j
tho party reatteaibled at the works to wit- I
n a further trial in the afternoon, t'n- I
fortunately, however, it was discovered !
that thero wa# a slight derangement in j
some part of the machine that would )
require too much time for adjustment thnt !
day, and the operation* were susjended.
The gentlemen interested in the machine
were convinced fr<>m the morning's trial
that it is constructed on correct prineiplc#,
and that with tbe proper adjustment of a
few minor detail# it will prove in all re
•pcct* a SUCCOM. It doe* it# work thorough- i
ly well, and produce* a hoo as perfect in j
every particular a* lho*c made either hy j
Burden or l'crkint, whose thorn are now
generally preferred by blacksmith*.
The party then returned to Bellefonte.
On the way back the carriage that con- j
lained Dr. Davi* and Col. McCleery atop
jsed at McCoy * Iron work* where those
gentlemen ware permitted to quench their
thirst with a refreshing draught from the
famous iron *pring. The rolling mill of
the work* wa# in operation, and, while
there, Ihey witnessed with considerable in-
U-reet tho process of drawing wire for 1
which these works are celebrated. On tbe
return to Bcliefonte, a consultation was
held with Mr. I-evy, and we are informed
that the company immediately voted an
additional assessment of money to invest
in their project, and authorised Mr. Levy
to make certain contemplated improve
ment* in his machine to insure reliable
and certain results from it. They alto
agreed to furnish him with a quantity of
iron to work into shoe# that will be thrown
into the market by one of the gentlemen
connected with the company who U large
ly engaged in the hardware buiinos* in
Philadelphia. Fur the skill, energy and
perseverance with which Mr. Levy hat
pursued hit idea of constructing a new
machine for making horse shoe*, he de
serve* all the success that can possibly
come to him, and it will be a delight to
all his friend* to hear that he Anally
achieve# it.
For a complete and accurate description
of Mr. Levy's machine wo are indebted to
IhekindnoMof thattkllliu) machinist, Mr.
William Jenkins, of our well-known and
popular firm of Win. P. Duncan A Co.
For it we return him our sincere thanks.
It is a* follows -.
"The machine it rather difficult to de
scribe, but consist# of a main frame of a
peculiar form which supports the gearing
and machinery that gives the shoe the
proper shape. I t consist* essentially of two
parts, Urn "creator" and "former," the
first s wedging- the blank, and the second
bending and giving tho shoe tho desired
shape. Tho movement# of the different
part* are controlled by a series of earns,
each one necessarily performing it* part
will* prcf iniori and hI/HOIUU* regularity. Tho
operation of making shoe* j* a* follows:
""" 1" flr*t cut Into proper length#
and is then heater] in n furnace to a bright
red beat. J hen it i entered vertically
into a groove in the crnaaer ; when the
proper time come* it drops of it* own
weight into [position to be swedgod, which
I# done by mean* of a roll having at iu
periphery a *tel twadga or serrated cutter
which travels lengthwise of the blank and
form# the groove and countersink indenta
tion* for receiving the head* of the nail*.
After being swnjged. the pre** and gauge
which holda the blank In p rsitlon is auto
matically removed and the new iwedgr-d
iron fall* into position for being bent and
shaped. This is done by mean* of a sett
of forming roller* or "crimper*" which
travel backward* and forward* over a sett
of stationary guide* ao that the path of the
roller* I* of the general lorin of the outside
of the *hoe. The #ba|! of the inside is
given by mean* of a stationary die held
securely against the vertical portion of the
main frame. lin in-d lately after being bent
the shoe i* subject to a heavy pressure from
a die, which give# the required thickness
and general concave shape flatwise to the
now finished shoe. This last motion is
obtained by means of a heavy cross head
operated by a strong crank of' six inches
stroke. Alter this operation the shoe is
freed from the machine by means of the
"throw "IT," a device that i* operated by
means of a small cam in tbe r.-r part of
lb" machine. The shoe is now finished
with the exception of punching the nail
holes, which is done on *parata machinery.
The entire operation after the blank i fir't
entered into the machine is automs-ic.
The shoes produced by this machine arc
pronounced by judge# to be superior in
finish and general proportions to any now
in the market. The total weight of the
ma. bine i- about U-n ton* and is the inven
tion of Mr. Harrison Levy, of Milesburg,
and wa* built by W. P. Duncan A Co., of
thi* place. *
By the train of Friday evening tbe
gentlemen from Milton look their depart
ure for borne. They made a fine impres
sion upon all with whom they came in
contact while here, and we hare since
hoard many of our citi/.en* ay that as
representative burin*** men of the town in
which they live they are an honor to it,
and comprise a combination of enterprise,
business energy and iterllng [personal
, worth which any community might be
| proud to possess.
