by all a rich literary treat, and it manner
| "f delivery wa excellent, though rnany
thougbt the Rev. Dr. drew it a little 100
line in completely ignoring George Wash

of tho great men the world ever produced.

Philips burg
lt ha* been ugge*t*l that there should
be atta< h*l to the machinery at the Water
Work* a gauge, that would indicate the
number of feet of water in the reservoir.
Such an arrangement would make a car
: lainty of having a sufficient supply of
t water at all times, fur the engineer would
have but to look at the gauge, and could le
informed as pi the depth of water. An
other plan is suggested : A ball so arrang
ed as to be o]eraP-d by a float upon the
surface ~f the water of the reservoir, that
when the water is up to the required height,
it can not be seen from, say the Diamond,
hut when lower than such height that it
can tie seen. Thi* last suggestion will
not be quite so convenient for the engineer,
but citizen* can see how well ho is per
forming hi* duty.
—Notwithstanding tho late rise in prices
and the fact that almost every merchant
able commodity is bringing from 26 to Km
|-er cent, more than it did throe month*
ago, I have determined to make a largt
mi or turn In thn retail price of anthracite
coal. At the reduced figure* it is f/ual in
economy with coke or any other fuel, and
i* certainly superior and much more satis
factory to handle when used for family
purpose# I buy the best quality of Wilkos-
Iwrre coal and guarnnlrr that it will be
carefully screened, correctly weighed and
promptly delivered.

—The magnificent oyster* placed be
fore the numcrou* guest* present at the
recent elegant social event thai occurred
at Potter'* Mill* in thi* county, were fur
nihed by Yeager A Downing, of the
Opera Hou*e saloon, of thi* place. With

Mill*. The lusciou* bivalve* were thus
brought with a* little loss of time M possi
ble from the rich lied* of the Chesajieake
to grace the table at which they were
eaten. The people of Bellefonte are for
tunate in having such capable caterer* a*
Harry Yeager and Oeorpa Downing It
i but just to say that at their wall con
ducted restaurant can always be found
everything to tempt the palate. Their
oyter* are always fresh and of the best
quality, and the neatness of their table*
and the cleanliness of their table furniture
are proverbial. If it wa* not that the
reader* of the DEMOCRAT never drink, we
might venture to say that the beer and
porter sold over the counter of their saloon
L always as good, if not better, than any
beer or porter to be found elsewhere.

"*'•—The strong wind which prevailed on
1 liursday last to the consternation
Willi which the cry of lire wit* heard aliout
oiio on that day, and caused
thn gallant lirniiicn and bravo citizen* to
ha*toii with greater *|d to the rescue of
thu unfortunate ones, Moat unfortunately,
it win. discovered that the flame* bad origi
nated in the roof of a hou*n owned hy
Tho*. R. Reynold*, "Lsq., situated on U
gan street, cast of Allegheny, one of those
many eminences for which Bellefonte i*
peculiar, but which, because of their
height, render them unpleasant situation*
in the event of a lire. The firemen, both
companies being promptly on the ground,
put forth most valiant effort* to ave the
house of Charle* (rumor, the one adjoining
Mr.''KcyHold*', but the attempt was ue
le*. They had a strong wind and |>or
hose to contend with. In thi* effort Tho*.
| Newell and John Bchrook distinguished
themselves for bravery, remaining in the
burning house until forced from it by the
flume*. Hut the flame* *pread on, taking
in their otiwnrd cour*e an old church build
ing, venerable for age, and in which, in
former year*, the colored je-ople of thi*
! borough have olb-n assembled for worship.
The hut house burned wa* a small one
owned by Mr. Win Montgomery, and oc
occuph-d by Mrs. Holly. Across the street
| the flame* tried vainly to go, but with the
► mail stream* which the hose would throw,
with hut kcts of water which were deluged
| on tho roof, in the midst of intense heat,
i the flretnen fought bark the Are. A nuin
lx-r of firemen received painful burn* a* a
rceult of their bravery.
Tho house owned by Mr. Reynold* wa*
occupied by two families, that of Mr.
I Samuel Garrett, who works at Valentine*'
ore mine*, and a family named Bennett.
Mr Reynolds wa* insured with Joseph A
Rankin A Son. The occupants of the
house lost all their furniture. The los- to
Charles Gamer, who had ju*t moved into
his house, was extremely unfortunate.
He determined to have a house of his own,
I and had worked haid and denied himself
and family many comfort* during the sum
im r to complete hi* little home. He had
j no insurance, and loses hi* house, hi* clothes
! and about seventy dollars' worth of furni
lure. Since the fire, however, he ha* raised
aU>ut two hundred d<>liars, which literal
citiss-n* have contributed, and which will
go far toward* repairing hi* lf>t. The
house owned by Mr. Win Montgom
ery wa* insured A white house on the

John I'. Harris, wa- injured by the lire,
but i* insured with Joseph A. Rankin A

long time.
A SEVSIBI.K BI*RETH.—The meeting in
the room* of the Young Men Cbristiaii
AssiMialion, last .Sunday afternoon, wa*
attended by the usual number of person*.
Among the many remarks made, we con
sider those by (ten Jamee A. Beaver at
| eminently practical and sensible lie
spoke of the many children in this place
who have no comfortable homo* to which
| they <*n go, and that, although there are
a large number of wealthy, Chriilian j<eo
ple in the town, no place ha* been provid
ed to who h these children can rseort. As
! a consequence, they will seek for comfort
and enjoy menl in the billiard and drinking
saloon*, lie said that the Association hsd
! en<lavored to provide a place for the
I boys, but as the Christian people have
I refuse*! t* give the requisite aid, it will be
necessary this winter to exclude these
homeless boys from the reading room, a'
those who really will read and enjoy the
privileges of the room cannot l* interrupt
ed hy the presence and noise occasioned by
; the aforesaid boy*. He also said that
; the Aasoriation wa* compelled to send to
llarriiburg and burrow a magic lantern
! with which to give such children an en
tertainment. President Charles Cook fol
lowed, and said, among other things, that
the Association has received, during the
past year, the vast sum v( fifty dollar t from
the Christian community of Bellefonte.
With various other remark* of a similar
nature, the meeting closed.
