sava the apple is about the size of the

the attention of fruit growers as a profitable
variety to cultivate.
—A telegram from Leadville, Colorado,

whose death is announced in our obituary
notices of this week, states that the l>ody of
Mrs. W. would leave that place on Mon

—The overseers of Spring township, we
are informed, propose to procure a home,
suitably located, where their poor may be
more comfortably maintained and at less
cost and trouble than the present mode of
boarding around. The change would nec
essarily have to he made with the consent
of tho tax-payers, but if tho plan meets
general approbation an excellent location
might be found on the farm of William
Bell or at tho residence of Mrs. Oottle, of
Pleasant Gap.
—Tho fifth semi-annual convention of
the Pennsylvania Millers' State Associa
tion will ho held at the Lochiel Hotel,
Harrisburg, Pa., on next Tuesday, Jan

ship, was elected President ; Lafayette
Neff, of Potter, Vice-President; George
Taylor, of Boggs, .Secretary, and J. 11.
Barnhart, of Spring, Treasurer. This
company seems to be gaining a very sub
stantial footing in our community. In
the last thirty days it has insured property
to the amount of S4I,(XM), and at the pres
ent time it carries insurance in the county
to the amount of over $1,000,000. This
may lie considered a very good showing for
a company that has beoff in existence not
quite two years. We trust its prosperity
will continue, believing as we do that local
institutions of the kind when properly con
ducted, as we have no doubt this company
is, deserve encouragement. *"

have heard of some good bargain* in gold
and silver watches, silver ware and jewel
ry. The sales will continue until the en
tire stock is dl*poed of.
1 A MOD it HOME r<>R A MODKI. COUPLE.
—To-day Dr. mid Mr*. K. L. Dtirtt, will
occupy the beautiful frame residence on
Allegheny struct, which IIHS just been com
j pleted for their ocoupillion. From this
time until some other e<]unlly fortuniite
couple, gifted with llic Mime lino tastni
shall conclude to follow tho Doctor'* nx
ample, the liouso in question muit be de
nominated the model residence of it* kind
in Beilefonto. From tho porch, which
run* along the entire front of the house,
j entrance i* made into a spacious vestibule.
! Tho tirat door to the leit of the hall leads
1 into that most cozy of all rooms in any
home, the sitting, or living room. To the
rear of this is the dining room. In each
of these apartment* the wood-work which
i* dark i* veneered in a mo*t skillful and
elegant maimer. A beautiful and capa
cious china closet also occupies a conveni
ent recess in the dining room, while orna
mental (lrc-places in each apartment sug.
gest the cozy warmth which will bo afford
ed during the mellow days of spring and
fall. The kitchen, yet further to the rear,
is largo and convenient. ' In it is a largo
range, arid a commodious pantry adjoins
it. Another little apartment to the
right will ho constantly supplied witli '
warm and cold water. Again emerging j
into the rearof the hall, a door on the same
side leads into the Doctor's otlico, from
whence exit may lie made on to the stoop
at the side of the house. At this door i
persons who have any ailment* are ex
pected to call and be healed. The space in
front of tho office i* designed for tho par
lor and is quite elegant. On exploring
the basement floor will he found a large
wash room to the rear and a fine cellar In
front of the house. In the cellar is an im
meii-o furnace from whence heat proceeds
to all parts of the dwelling. Ascending to
the second-story either by the front or j
rear staircase, four large, commodious and
well finished sleeping apiirtmonts are
found. There is also a hall and a bath
room. But a little room in front of the
hall which every female who views it will
envy, is called the sewing room. Here
can the mistress, surrounded by her com
panions, sit, apparently buried deep in the
mysteries of sewing and needle work.
Hut on Qvery side of this apartment is a
window through which the average curi
osity of the female heart can have trans
ported to her vision everything that occurs j
either within or without the mansion.
The front window throw* into view the
elegant Lane mansion just opposite, the
side windows command a perspective for
an indefinite distance up and down Alle
gheny street, while tho windows in the
folding doors separating the a|>artroent
from the hall look hack into the heart of
the dwelling. We feel sure if wc had as
much curiosity as is credited to the weaker
sex such a room would make u* groan
with envy. This complete* all of the
house that any jierson may he supposed to
he interested in, as the several apartments
in tho attic are devoted at present for the
receptacle of old trumphery.
All the work about the residence is
much admired and satisfies the Doctor
yerfeclly. Tho veneering and painting
was executed hv those excellent artists, Mr.
Fasic and son, and also by those skillful
manipulators of the brush, I>oak A Lone
berger. The plastering all through the
house is |early white, pure and oven and
shows tho skill of Mr. Samuel Oottschal.
All the appurtenances of the dwelling do
honor to those having the work In charge.
TIIK DARK Mnsimix.—Again has
the dark messenger glided into the happy
homeof one of our esteemed friends taking
away his beloved companion and casting
over all the friends a sable cloud of sorrow-
The most afflicting and sorrowing one is
Mr. Michael Kunkle, of Spring township,
whose wife, Mrs. Anna Kunkle, died last
Sabbath morning at about eleven o'clock.
Consumption was the instrument which
the unwelcome visitor employed to steal
away the mortal life of this esteemed lady.
Mr*. Anna Kunkle was the daughter o'
the late Deorge Livingstone, Eq., who, it
will be remembered, at one time kept a
large stationery store in this place. From
her girlhood she has been well and favor
ably known by many of the older residents
of this place, and to all her death will be
for a long time to come an occasion of pro
found sorrow. Among the mourners to
whom her death was tho severing of a long
and affectionate tie is her daughter, Mrs.
Kush D. Larimer, of Pleasant Oap. The
funeral services over her remains took
place on Tuesday morning at ten o'clock.
FOOT CRUSHED.—Jt i* not often that ac
cidents occur at Mann's Axe Works, but
they will happen sometime* in the best
regulated families. It is with regret,
therefore, we record a painful accident
that happened to Mr. Philip Dross, the
foreman of the finishing department at tho
works, last Friday afternoon. In rolling
the huge grindstones, which weigh from
3,1100 to 8,600 pounds, into the works, it It
customary for one man to push the stone
from behind, while two others go before
guiding it by means of bars. The stone
swerved to one side, breaking the bar in
the hands of Mr. Oroas, and fell over
on it, the other end of the bar lying acroas
Mr. Dross' foot. Although the pressure
occasioned by this tremendous weight was
great, we are pleased to state that no hones
were broken, although Mr. D. will find it
necessary to-nurso a sore foot for sometime
to come. Mr. Dross is a much valued em
ploye at tho works, and it is hoped that be
will soon he able to resume hi* duties once
i more.
"KINO OUT THE OLD, KINO IN' THE
NEW,"—The matrimonial wave, which
set in during the fall, continues with una
bated Intensity, agituting tho largo num
ber of marriageable young men and maid
ens of our county to an unusual degree.
From every quarter of the county wc hear
of its effects. It is not dreaded so much
a* an Arctic wave, however, und instead of
making people look blue and cold, renders
them happy. It was New Year's Eve,
whin the cows are said to talk and all na
ture i* awake to hid the passing year a sad
farewell, tluit an unusually happy occur
rence took place in Miieshurgas a direct
result of this same matrimonial wave. That
tnomorablo evening Mr. Oeorge M. Null,
one of the very host and most cupuble
teachers of Pleasant Dap, led to the altar
Miss Ida L. hull, step-daughter of Mr.
Isaac Buftington, of Miiesburg. The
Baptist church, in wbich the happy affair
took place, wa* filled to its utmost capacity,
tho ceremony being [lerformed in an im
pressive manner by Kev. Henry Colcieaaer.
After receiving the hearty.congratulation*
of their numerous friends in .Miiesburg
the happy couple loft tho following day
for the home of the groom, where a tine
reception was given at the residence of the
groom's father, Mr. Edward Null. There
they received many more presents and con
gratulations. We are glad to learn that
Deorge, notwithstanding he teaches others,
has himself learned the lesson that it is
not good for man to live alone, and a* the
years pass on and their married life
grows older may their love become strong
er, and tho succeeding days reveal to each
of them something new to love snd admire
in the character of the other. .
DRAND ARMY "CAMP-KIKE."—On Tues
day morning next the "camp-tires" will be
kindled and the war-scarred veterans of
many battles who compose the Draud Army
of tho Republic will entertain their lec
turer, Col. J. B. Bachelder, with consider
able eclat. Posts of the Drand Army from
Williams port, I<ock Haven, Konovo and
several other neighboring places will he
present, and one of the important exercises
of the day will he a grand dinner in the
room of Dregg Post. Brave warriors a*
these members of the Grand Army claim
to be, they are nevertheless too delicate
and fastidious to cook their dinner hv a
genuine out-door "camp-fire" in true sol
dier fashion. The inclement weather
might soil their uniforms or freeze tho
fingers of the gallant troops. We said
"grand" dinner, hut perhaps did not use
the word advisedly, for most people will
not consider a dinner particularly grand
where the principal article of diet Is boiled
and baked beans. Arrangements are mak
ing by which seventy-five [K'rson* may be
fed at once. Charley Darner, who, it is
said, knows how to cook beans better than
any one else, will perform the culinary
duties. Of course, with all these "boys in
blue" in town, who are intensely interested
in the battle of Dctlysburv, there will lie
an overflowing audience in Reynolds' Hall
at night to hear Col. Bachelder lecture.
He is provided with twelve hundred feet
of canvas* on which to illustrate the posi
tions of each army on thai field of carnage.
We hope that Tuesday next will prove a
pleasant time for the Drand Army.
RECITALS AND MUSIC.—Tho lovers of
artistic skill in the schools of oratory
and music cannot but have been pleased,
nay enchanted, by the entertainment af
forded them on New Year's night. The
audience was large and sufficiently appre
ciative. Mrs. I-ove's orchestra was pres
ent, discoursing delightful music. Homer
D. Cope, aside from being himself a hand
some man, is a consummate artist and ha*
perfect command of voice and features.
Ho improve* wonderfully by practice, and
is much more effective in hi* rendition of
impassioned drama than in more humerouf
•election*. Wo imagine that the drama
of "Damon and Pythias" is his chief forte,
for the fourth act of that affecting story,
which he rendered by request on this occa
sion, wa* by far the happiest effort of the
evening. Immediately he plunged into
the deep emotion of that play, depicting
perfectly the agonixing parting scene be
tween Damon and his wife, and the over
towering passion displayed by Damon to
wards his servant. Many eyes in the as
sembly were dewed with tears during its
recital. We would not object to spend
another such a delightful evening in the
company of Homer I). Cope. .
OrrtcEß* ELECTED.— -A meeting of the
Logan Fire Company wa* held on New
Year's night at which the following officers
were elected to serve for tho ansuing year:

had been paid on the duplicate* of 1876,
1878 and IH7B, since the meeting three
weeks previous. Application* were receiv
ed and read for a coal oil street lamp on
the corner of Penn and Lamb street* and
aIA one on the corner of Kpring and I<ogan

for water tax was read and approved. The
solicitor was instructed to prepare the
neceasary paper* for the leaae of the
Wm. F. Reynolds' water power.
COMMIMIOVKM' OKKICR.— 'The follow
ing nro tho appointment* made by tho
County Commissioner* at tho mooting of
tho (ioaril on Monday of this wool* : Com

At tho meeting of the Hoard, week be

DEATH OK THOMAS AND HANNAH WIL
SON. —We have tbi* week to record the
death of a venerable couple in Half Moon
township, who, having lived together hap
pily for more than half a century, respect
ed and beloved by the entire community,
as well as by many friends elsewhere, have
together been called to the reward of virtu
ous and well spent live*. Thomas Wilson,
and Hannah Wilson, his wife, aged rejcct-
Iveiy M and h'i years, departed this life on
the 15th and 1 Hth of December, lh7'.<, at
their beautiful residence within sight of
the place* of their birth. This venerable
couple who were in their last moments
surrounded by and ministered to by seven
out of eight children—six matronly daugh
ters and one son bordering upon old age,
is a circumstance that but seldom occurs,
and must have !>een of exceeding comfort
to the dying. Mr. Wilson was the son of
George Wilson who settled in Half Moon
valley at a very early day, and with
Thomas Downing, the father of Mrs. Wil
son, and Thomas M-airo were the founders
of the society of Friends in this county, of
which the subject* of this notice were faith
ful and consistent member* for over six
ty years. Having walked together through
along life in |>aeeful Conliden, e and faith
ful |rformanre of duly, in death they
were not separated, but laid side by side in
the {Msaceful grave-yard of their beloved
society, to which so many of their friends
bad preceded them, to await the summons
of the Great Day. " •
A ScccKaart'L FESTIVAL. —The festival
inaugurated in the M. K. church of Pleas
ant (tap on New Year's Day, was con
tinued until .Saturday night, and from iu
beginning until It* close was a |>erfcct su. -
cess. Oysters, prepared in an appetizing
manner by the ladies of Pleasant Gap, wa
the chief article for sale, and that the peo
ple in that vicinity love the delicious bi
valves is fully attested by the amount con
sumed. Ho many oysters were taken from
tbia place to the festival that a panic in
oysters WM created on Saturday. A doll
was contested for by several of the quite
young ladies in the Sabbath-school, Miss
Lide Larimer b*itig the successful compet
itor. Saturday night found the church
one hundred and fifty-five dollars better off
then when the festival began. Our liesl
wish for the congregation is that their
spiritual condition may increase in propor
tion to their financial wealth.
