KNOW HllOK.—Among the many compli mentary remarks which have been made about tho pleasant village of Know Shoe I none are more deserving of republication I than the following correspondence of the j Northumberland l)c inner at KNOW SHOE, August 16, IR75'. MR. EDITOR : —Thinking a breath of mountain air might prove refreshing to j your numerous resides, I concluded t semi you a short account of this place and it* surroundings. , This neat little town is one thousand five hundred and seventy-two feet above sea level, ami consul* of a small number of i house*, spires ami a large hotel The Ist | ter is owned by tho "Bellefonte ami Know | Shoe Railroad Company," under the pro ! prietorship of Mr E. N Nolan, a tuost | obliging landlord. Several iM-autiful drives lead "Ut from the village, thus giving ample opfiorluni lies f„r viewing the surrounding charming I scenery. The thermometer never rics beyond the eighties, and usually ranges from fifty , eight to seventy degrees. Among the prim ipal stirs) lions of the place are the blturaiuou* coal mine*, s.tu ated alxiut a mile and a half from the ho tel ; a public librarv, called the "Sea li brary," supplying book* Pi the summer visitors, free of expense. A park of about three acres, filled up with numerous rustic s aU, croquet sets, and two guardetis filled with most lovely flower*, owned by Mr Stewart, a wealtfiy bachelor, and Mr and Mrs. Williams, whose kindness p, stran gers and taste in flowers are quite remark i able. Near the mine* i* a spring of clear, cold water containing free sulphuric acid iin largo quantities. This is railed the i"Sous Springs." It* medicinal qualities have not yet been ascertained. The only drawback to the hopd is the absence of any musical instrument. It is sup|.o*c<d the reason of ibis, I# the number of friends 'owning the road. The principal product* of the neighhor hood are bitumin*u< < <al. lumber and • liar coal, vast quantities wbi< h an- trump"!ted daily. The quality of the coal is almost equal pi that . f the celebrated Pittsburgh mine*, in harJness and in gas producing proj rlies. I ntil to-day the Post-office Department ailowi-d hut a Iri-weekly mail, and we were obliged pi depend ujon the kindness of Mr. Rhode*, the Superintendent of the road, to obtain letters and daily pa|-r* from Bellefonte, twenty-one mils* distant. Through the influence of a psetiiion pro senlnd hv Dr. C\ K McOay, of Baltimore, a daily mail has been allowed, much to the delight of the gue*ts now here. The weather is cool and delightful, re quiring double blanket* every night. The j culinery department of the hotel is all that could be desired. We would advise any of your readers deirous of spending a few weeks berond i the reach of malaria and exhausting Wat, at a reasonable expense, to pay Know Shoe a visit. M. C. PICNIC or THE VETERANS.—We ear neatly hope that next week on Saturday the sun will thine brightly and tho (de ment* in every way be propitioua for a thoroughly good time on the occaaion of , the annua) picnic of the veteran* of our . county. Thi* club of veteran* is formed of those citizen soldier*, "resident* of Centre county, who have survived the various war* in which wc have been engaged, and who have been honorably discharged from the military service of the United Htatee." They have banded Pigether that the lie* of friendship which war made may be perpet uated, that tho memory of the dead who died on many a field may be ever held dear, and that the member* of the Club may be of such mutual assistance to each other a* is proper and right. Surely an object to which the heart of every veteran should respond. Tho by-laws require that the annual pic nic shall be held "on the Saturday falling on or immediately preceding the 12th day of September, at such place in Centre county as may be fixed by the Club or the Executive Committee thereof," which de termine* tho time this year on Saturday) September 6, and tho Executive Commit tee have, in response to a hearty invitation, decided to accept tho hospitality of the kind people of Pleasant Gap. They will therefore meet in Gettle'* Grove at 10 o'clock A. M., and will spend the day in friendly intercourse, in listening to speech es and in assembling in group* to partake of the indispensable dinner which is always so bountifully provided. The present officers of the Club are President, Gen. James A. Beaver; Vice President, Lieut. George M. Boa), of Can. tre Hall; Secretary, Col. D. 8. Keller; and Treasurer, CapL Austin Curtin, of Roland. MEETIX'J OS TIIK Adßir ULTURAI. B<i j < IKTT MONDAY KVKNINO.—As announc ed last week a meeting of the Agricultural Hoeicty was held last Monday evening, a small representation being present. All were anxious to gain Information about the usual fall fair, as the time for It is fast approaching and no definite information regarding it lias as yet been made public. Tim President of tho Society was not pres ent, and Mr. John Foster, of Harris town ship, was made President pro tern. Kocre tary Boeder called the roll and read the minutes of previous meeting. Chairman of Executive committee being absent, Mr. W. F. Feeder stated that the committee had met on the previous Tues day and adopted last year's premium list, with a few alterations. That tho list it now in the hands of the printers and will be published in tho Watchman and llrpuh liean. That the Philipsburg Journal, Ite p<>rter and DEMOCRAT had promised to circulate tho list by supplement* to their subscriber*. That the Millbeim Journal had not yet been heard from, but supposed it was all right. Gn motion, tho Executive Committee was instructed to invito the Grange to uniDi with the Society in making a special exhibit. On motion the Executive Committee was instructed to invite some competent person to deliver an address before the I Society at it* next quarterly meeting, ujion ■ the gra#xhop|*>r and the best means oft de stroying it. | The President suggested that the Society j sjM-nd some time in discussing the culture | of tobacco, and invited Captain Hunter to give the Society the benefit o( his experience. The Captain said be had given attention to : it* culture for several years, but upon a ; farm of two hundred acre* cleared he had j never allowed his tobacco crop to occupv inor- than four acre*. After all ex;e-nsos were paid be had realised as much a $l6O |*r acre. That hi tobacco was considered equal to that rai<d in Lam ater county or the Connecticut Valley. That he would advise farmers not to allow this crop to consume more than four acres, as it ex haust* tho soil and furnishes no manure, and he would only give u> it* cultivation that amount of ;sc that he could always keep well manured. President Foster said that he had once devoted liis attention to tobacco culture on bis place at Oak Hall Mr. Stewart, one the members of the Society, said that several y**ars ago a stranger bad spent the night at his b<-m and on leaving the following morning had suggested to him the propriety of cultivat ing tobacco ; that his soil was well adapted l" it. Ac. The farmer thought over the subject all day and it troublrd his dreams at night. The conclusion be arrived at was that he could not induce himself to I cultivate the "weed" which was doing so much harm, and so he arose the following morning and threw all bit tobacco sod out the window, and this ended hi* culture of tobacco. During these remarks, Clement Dale, Kq , Chairman of Executive Committee, arrivd. and by request stated that the fair ground, with the attention of a rarjentcr for about one week, could be put in good condition, and that the prospect* for a suc cessful fair thi# fall arc excellent. A motion w as made and adopted that the County Commissioner* i* requested to ex amine the local option law relating to dogs and sheep,, passed by the legislature of 18,8, and suomit it to the p<eopdc. Society adjourned. ONE or LAST ST* N HAT'B SERMONS.— . Rev. K K. Furst, of the Lutheran church, ! always deliver* pleasing and instructive discourses, and his congregation are rejuic i ing and growing in the Christian graces j from the effect# of hi* faithful ministra tions. Last Sunday morning he chose for his text the word* of St. Paul's epistle to tb* Roman* 8:1: "For there is therefore now no condem nation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the ; Spirit." ! Tha reverend gentleman dwelt on the compreliensive.no** of thi* chapter, and the number of u*eful lessons which It contains ; that from beginning to clone it j* full of comfort and consolation, lie said that the textdoo* not affirm that thoro i* no cor niptinn or VMMIISM in those who are in Christ Jesus. Nor doe# it say that there is no eorrerfion needed ; that correction i* needed that there may be no condemna tion. Neither doe* it aay that there i* no eaute for condemnation. And it doee not aay that there will nerer be any condemna tion, but that there i* "therefore now no condemnation." These and several other point* were elaborated in illustration of tho first part of the text. He then showed how many comforting thought* are con tained in the latter part of the text, for those, "who walk not after the fleh, but after the spirit." That they can day by day separate more and more from world ly thought* and action* and place their affection* on heavenly things. That this promise alone is sufficient to rejoice the heart of those who will walk after the Hpirit and thus have the condemnation re moved. Thi* is but an imperfect synopsis of a discourse such as his congregation have the privilege of hearing twice every 'Sabbath, and which impart such truths aa can not fail in being effective for good. —The lulheran denomination of this place have an efficient choir. Last Sun day morning thera were five ladies and sis gentlemen in it. —After next Monday squirrel* and wild ducka aad geese may be legally shot. NOTICE.

From Lock llxvix to Howard ok a VRLociriPß.—The Clinton county Demo. crnf says that John M. Schicd, engineer at Hippie A Nelson's planing mill, and a prac tical machinist, while employed at Howard, conceived the idea of having bis own con veyance to return to Lk k Haven Satur day nights to his family, and built himself a velocipede that will run on the railroad track , but as he shortly returned to Lock Haven to work he didn't need to try "his own eonversneo.'' He has had it out on the ro#<l at different times, and it slips along finely. He says he can go four miles in twenty minutes. It consists of one large w heel with a flange like a car wheel. In front of this is a seat placed below tho centre of the big wheel. In front of the seat is a small wheel, also with a flange on it, connected with the big wheel. Across from big wheel runt a light beam with a small wheel on its end like a roller, just heavy enough to keep it down to the op posite rail on which it rests. The party riding sits facing the liitle wheel, and handles comes down from the big wheel behind, which can be worked with tho hands or the feet. You make your motion and away you go. MARRIAGES.
