JIKK SRERNTINOH KSNXN UV DRATII. —
The final end of this life is not always
looked forward to with dread and appre
hension hy those who are nenririg it* goal,
hut it is olleii hailed with joy as the close of
a long period of suffering. Thus it was
with Mrs. Catharine Schnell, who pa —I
away froth earth lit I Friday morning at
hall-past eleven o'clock. It i seldom that
one is called on to endure more than she,
ami perhaps nover since the time of Job
has mere humanity endured it with more
saintly resignation. It is said that she ha
suffered npiro or less for the la-t thirty
years, and for the fourteen closing years of
her life has been confined to her bed.
During the pat year her weakness hail so
increased that she could not even move,
and to this has been added the affliction of
blindness. Rut with the departure of phys
ical health and sight, came to her a strong
spiritual faith and trust, arid with her
hand tightly clasped in that of her
Redeemer and her sightless eyes fixed on
Him she passed triumphantly forth.
Mrs. Schnell, whose maiden name wa*
Catherine Hrew, was horn in Springmoulh,
County Clare, Ireland,on the lfith of May,
lHlfi. She Was the daughter of Thaddeu*
and Mary Brew, and wa- one of a numer
ous and eminently respcctible family. There
were four other daughters and two sons.
This large family emigrated from Ireland to
litis country in the year I 1, and arrived in
Centre county, we believe, on the 7th of
June, of that year. The family i* shown to
Im> one of considerable lonevltv from the (act
that several of its original representative,
are yet among the well-known and honor
ed citizens of this liorougli. Among tbein
are Mr Austin Hrew, the youngest son ;
Mr- Hamilton, thu oldest daughter, now
living on 18-ward street : also Mrs. Nolan
and Mrs. McClain, resident* of thi* l>r
ough. Mrs. Kalley, the fifth sister, now
resides in lowa
Ml** Catherine Hr-w was married, in
the year lx::|. to Mr Joseph S hnell, one
of the overseer* of the isor <-f this borough
A large family has grow n up about them.
Hut all of it* member* are so well known
in thi* community that it i* anm-cessary t"
mention their name*. Among them i Mr
T M Schnell, of Chicago, the fir-', tele,
graph o|r*lor in this place Mrs. S hnell
was a life-long mom tier of the Roman
Catholic ( hurrh, and the funeral services
over her remains, which h'k plaee last
Friday morning, were conduct**! with all
tl.e materialistic form and ceremony which
that church holds so dear and which the
earnest faith of deceased led her to believe
wa* proje-r. The residence of deceas*-!
and the church w- re throng'-l by t'i" num
erous friend* and relative* who desired to
• bow this evidence of their earnest regard
and ole m frlo r many virtues. An ad
■lre** appnq.riate to tlieoc<asin was de
livered In English by the officiating pric*t
Father Powers, of Isock Haven, and a
Herman priest, whose name wo did not
learn, assisted Father Kennedy in the ser
vo e. At twelve o clock the service* closed
and the body was carried to its !at resting
place.

tinuance of this journal, our townsman,
John T. Johnston, Esq , learned hi* trade
with Mr. Shoemaker, and in the year of
I*s! entered Into partnership with him.
In 1858 Mr. Johnston retired, when Mr.
Shoemaker again became sole manager,
continuing until 1855. During Gov. Pol
lock's administration, Mr. Shoemaker was
clerk in the School Departmental Harris
burg. He also served as postmaster in
thi* place under the administration of
Zarhary Taylor, entering on his duties In
March, 185{. After this he went to Wash

employ of the Government printing office
at Washington.

constructed under the stable, and the floor
over it is old and too weak to sutain the

of Reber*burg, was robbed <(f about sixty
(l<*llar* worth of its contents, consisting of
good* of almost every description. A*
Judge Frsmk, the senior partner, #j>-
proached the store on the following morn
ing, he discovered that the door was un
lo* kod. The first glance at the interior
revealed the fart that chairs and boot*
were scattered over the fl,r in a miscel
lanoou* manner, a* if the robber* only
carried away th.*e boots that fitted them,
rejecting the other*. Three pairs of boots
were taken They also carried off a No.
I double l*arrel revolving rifle, three wool
hats, ten yard* all-wool cassimere, some
eggs, tobacca, hose, su|**>nders, church keys,
Ac. Almost every box and drawer in the
establishment was opened, and from one
money drawer two dollar* were obtained
1 he robber* left none of their own posses
sion* in exchange for those articles except
a hickory club, burnt at one end, which
suggests tbst they were tramps, although
it might have belonged to other parlies.
False key* were used in unlocking the
door. This is the fourth attempt made to
roh this store within a year, which shows
that tlie good* sold by the Judge are of an
unusually excellent quality, and there is
some one in this world determined to ob
tain them at all har.ard*.
