opinion that, "all g-Ml citia'-n as well as
Christian jev-pie will doom it a privilege
to help forward this work which so evi
dentlv serves to promote the highest wel
fare of the rising generation." •
Many and extravagant were the ex
clamations of admiration which spectators
show-rod ujxm the firemen in their parade
previous to ti- punic iat Friday morning
Nobler I..king m< n thun th-*o ladol.ging
to the Undine and L-gan H"se comjainies
* snnot bo found anywhere, and they never
made a tinor app-earan. e than when th'-y
parad-d the street in the bracing atmos
phere of last Friday morning. Ticket* for
the dinner which was afterwards *pread in
the grove were left al this ofll. •, and it
was only lack of lime and distance width
prevented us from partaking of it. The
picnic throughout from its beginning to the
closing dance in the evening passed off
pleasantly.
—The usual gathering of our borough
council was held on Monday night, but
only four members and the clerk were
present. Not much of ifnj>>rlanrc was
transacted. The Street Committee rejfort
ed that because of the unsafe oondilion of
l-amb street bridge they deemed it proper
to close the same to the public. The clerk
reported that the market fix*- for the two
weeks ending September 16 amounted to
$lO 00. The usual hills were either ap
proved or action on them postponed and
council adjourned to meet again on the
first Monday evening in October.
—The thriving borough of Millheim 1
was agitated last week over a social event
of more than passing imjiortance. It was ;
the marriage of Miss M J IJelle, the ac
complished daughter of Mr. Daniel A. j
Musscr, and Mr. C. y\. Slurgis, of Lewis
burg. There was a large attendance of
invited friends present at the ceremony,
and the happy young couple received
hearty congratulations from all. May
prosperity and happiness go with thorn
through life.
—October promises to Im Ms month in
this vicinity for weddings. We know of j
at least five young couples who have been
paying most devotes! attention to one anoth- ,
er during the summer months, and we are
almost certain that these budding love*
will blossom into full-blown wedding*
during next month. Well, fall flower* al
ways are tha best ( because thny are more
hardy and last longer than the more bril
liant summer blossom* which to <|uick!y
lose their beauty.
—Among the superior and attractive
stock to be exhibited al the coming agri
cultural fair will be an half-Alderney hull,
owned by Joseph Ross, of Pleasant (lap.
Besides being driven like a horse, this hull
will do many other wonderful things which
show great sagacity and intelligence.
There is every reason why this animal
should be an unusually excellent on i
however, a* he rejoice* in the name of
"Judge."
—The new September moon appeared for
the first time last Tuesday night. As this
is perhaps the last moon we will have dur
ing which the evening* will be at all com
fortable for a walk, those who enjoy "a
moonlight night for a ramble" will do
well to Improve the opportunity.
—Mr. K. S. Hergtiresser, of lluhlers
burg, la exhibiting a model of a corn
planter, of which he is patentee, at the
Stele fair, Philadelphia.
—On Sunday next, thn 21st snslant
the days, which have been steadily decreas
ing in Icngiii, will have dwindled down to
be equal with the night*. For a lung lime
it seems as though a struggle has prevailed
between summer and fall—the latter gain
ing most of llie victories this season- us to
which shall gain the supremacy, and the
day which marks the equal length of light
and darkness seems also to herald the linal
victory of fall. The day begins to yield
Itself up to approaching darkness, heat and
light hastily retreat, and the earth prepare
itself to he bound ill the icy clasp of winter.
Humanity is forced to provide arlilleial
' light, and ceasing to perspire begins to
shiver. .Stoves are brought forth from
hiding places and made to blush rosy r<-d
with glowing flame. Closets and ward
robes yield up their dark, heavy, woollen
content* to be piled upon the sons of men
to keep them from the cold. But all these
i efforts are fruitless. The cold, Icy fingers
j of winter j>cnetrate every crack and cran
' ny, and after a few months of effort, King
Winter triumphantly throws over the
earth bis mantle of white, and lighting his
pHtli with the pale, white, cold moon,
strides forth some December night a jM-r
-| feet victor.

in the If'oCAsnosi that Messrs. Reese and

some tall cucumbers. IbUefonte will hare
to "try again." if it intends t" keep ahead
of our little borough with thirteen inch
cucumbers. Mr It. V. Shaff.-r, our popu
lar hotelist, has a vine in hi* garden, on
which are several specimens of the oolicy
fruit that arc simply enormous. During a
recent call at Mr. Hhaffer's the writer BJ
plied the yard stick to the throe largest,
and they measured respectively thirty.thrrt,
forty and forty.oh* Inches. "Three to one"
boat# 'em pretty bad, don't it. Of course
they are Democratic cucumbers. Friend

Graham, late a teacher in our public

day evening last al the residence of the
bride's father, Kev. John Hewitt, Hector
l of Episcopal church, officiating. They de
parted on the evening train for a wedding
tour, and we can most sincerely follow
them with our earnest congratulation*.
Of course, they will include the Stale fair
! in their trip.
A GOOD Caor. —Snow Shoe can not only
tioast of being a beautiful place in regard to
location, but the following statement shoes
that there must be some of the best land
and most csreful farmers In that vicinity of
which old Centre county can boast. Mr,
Robert Haines, this year, raised 2U3 buffi
els of wheat of excellent quality on only
10 sere* of ground. This seem* to be an
unusually excellent showing, and we doubt
if there arc many farmers in other sections
of the county who can beat it.
—Our friend, Editor Tuten,ha* again re
turned to the kindly shadow* of Peon's
Wood*. Ho has been absent for a long
time visiting the granite hills of New
Hampshire, the wonderful hays and the
cultivated cities of Massachusetts, and other
scenes of his former home. Ih-llefnnte
stretches out her arm* and hid* blm "wel

—The beautiful, bright geranium* which
are blooming so luxuriantly before thn
residence of Dr. Thomas K. Hayes are a
rarely lovely sight, and evince that who
ever take* care of them I* a person of taste
in the cultivation of flowor*.
WHRCK OK A PAHMENOXK TRAIN, IN
WHICH THE LA DIEM' CAR I* DISPONED TO
HTAND ON ITS HEAD AND TIIK KNOINE
I svs TO Dili POTATOES. —In addition to
the slight wreck of the Hnow Hho# train
which a (M-(-urrnd on Wednesday last, re
ferred to elsewhere, one of greater tnijiort
uiico, mid which had ale-ut it some comical
features, occurred to the nlgbt express just
after it left this plasM*. The train was
i HIMUII quarter of an hour late and moved
away from the depot here at about fiftsss-n
minutes of nine o'clock. Most unfortu
nately for all concerned, as it drew near
j the old Hnow Shoe depot, Just outside of
town, the engine struck a venerable high
way cow which was either browsing or
was sinking into a refreshing sleep on the
! track. But the cow, oh, where was she*'
1 If she indeed awoke from her sleep, it was
to enter that abode where all go<el and had
animals go when they leave this earthly
! home.
Although the engine is accustomed every
-lay to run over pigs and chickens, and
sometime* even in knock cows from the
track without serious inconvenience, the
animal in this instance proved too much
' for it, and it suddenly left the track and
jumped thirty feet or more into a potato
put; h. Doubtless th<uw; potatoes were ready
to be taken from the ground, at least the
engine thought so, and with a desire to be
of some other uso in this large world than
to run forever on the railroad track, it
plowed up the ground *< uttering the j-ota
t*M- right and left in it* path. It was
quickly and most effectually done, and ag
riculturist* may iind in this ln< ident a hint
leading to the invention of a new machine
to dig j-otal-M-s : hut done as it was so un
expcctedly, the owner of the field did not
ai-pr-.-iat'- the gratuitous assistance, and
notifb • the Pennsylvania railroad that
when be wish'-* his j-.tat-M-s taken from
the ground he will give them notice and
they ian coine and do it in a j-roja-r man
ner.
Although ail the cars were brought to a
sudden halt and th- ir-- uj-ants frightened,
only on; -the ladies' car—le hav-l in an
itnj-rojier manner, and the way it acted
was jx-rfi-ctly outlandish. Irnmc -Ilately on
leading the ira< k, it c-ri. led itself, in an
almi.- t |.<-rpendi( ular jsosition, and plunged
the iadi'-s In a c ha- tic mass in the f.-re part
••f the car. Some were tumbled under the
s- sis, while others perched on the seat*
clutching to them with frantic energy. Ail
doubtless thought that the final end of ail
things terrestrial h*cl armed, are] that the
world was being rolled together in it* last
convulsions. But when at length all was
.uM-t again thev realised what was the real
difficulty, and the twinkling stars a- they
looked d wn that night al ten o'clock wit
nessed sundry fair females le-ing assisted
from the windows of the passenger e -a- h
much we might imagine they would dc
- c-nd from the leaning tower of Pixa. To
them it was an occurrence never to IM- for
g -lien and which they never wish again t-
xperic-nc It was discovered, to thc-ir
in tense gratification, that no one wa seri
ously ir.jurcvt, though of course sore limbs,
-crab lic-d face* and ruinocl garments were
numerous. Among the jca-sengers in the
train were Miss Gertie Else, Miss I'lara
Lucas and Miss Nanr.ie Delancy, of Mil<*-
hurg and Mr M illiam Thomas, of the
Pennsylvania railroad office, Prof. Magoe,
of this j.lace, and Mr. Frank Taylor, of
Linn \ McCoy's Works, all of whom arc
to IJO congratulated on their cscajie.
A wrecking train was sent for which
soon arrives! from Tyrone and In a few
hours every vestige of the wrock was re
moved and the track re-laid. The passen
ger* we re conveyed on their way by a fresh
train which arrived about 12 o'clock that
night. The engine was found to be some
what strained as the result of its noble ef
fort in the potato digging line, and the la
dies' car will be laid aside a short season
for rejiairs. Otherwise, it may be thank
fully said that "All it well that ends well."
HYnKAii ' FOR TRI FAIR OK 1879.
W® are glad the Agricultural Society
have secured such a skillful director for its
amusement department as Mr Frank
Cbainberlin. Almost every conceivable
variety of games hat been arranged for to
entertain those who will attend the fair.
The modern diversions of archery and glass
hall shooting will bo represented by per
sons who have become proficient in these
art*. The archery contest will be esjve
cially interesting, at least forty contestants,
embracing all the skillful shot* of the
county, having signified their willingncw*
to participate. Communications have also
been received from Williamsporl asking
if the "boss" shots from that city may also
take part in the match. Mr. Uhamberlin
also thinks that Tyrone and Altoona will
lie represented ere the entries close. The
miscellaneous game* which embrace all
that the most fun-loving person* could
possibly devise, will afford constant amuse
ment even If the programme it one-half
carried nut. We have also heard it statswl
that the Athletic and Providence base ball
clubs will be present on one of the principal
day* of tho fair and show the people how
to play tho "groat American game." All
may be oerUin that with such a fertile
brain to direct the affairs of this depart
ment a* Frank can bring to bear all the
arrangements will be carried out in a man
ner perhaps never before equalled al our
county fair*.

Mihhrn Death OF Mk John l>. Likk.
—On Monday night last at about <j car
ter of twelve o'clock, Mr. John J.
I.ieb, one of th* prominent and moat rr-
IJ lOC ted citizen* of thia borough, passe,]
suddenly away from earth. Wbon the '
new* of hi* death wia rniule known the
following morning it proved startling and
►ad information to all who heard it. Me
wa* apparently an unusually healthy, hale
man, and such an event a* hi* death was
not apprehended by any of his many
friends. For several days previous to his
death he had been feeling ill, and once
while at hi* [planing mill a> seized with 4
dizzir,*** and had to be assisted home. At
(our o clock on Monday afternoon he com
menced again to grow worse and continued
rapidly failing until hi* death at the time
above mentioned the same night-. He died
I pa'alysis of the heart. Me wa* about
j Ufly-fivn years of age.
Mr I.ieb wa* a most exemplary citizen,
and in r>-!igiou, social and business cirele*
wa universally re*] ay- ted. J[„ ,-n
-gaged actively in the lumber business, arid
was a prominent member of and a trusts*?
jin the M Y. church, of this place. He
.caves a very interesting family —a wife,
ibreo sons and two daughter* —1/> mourn
