He preached his farewell sermon on Sunday, tho 22d of February. —John Sourbeck has repainted his littlo frame building on High street and again opened a green grocery store. A refrig erator bus been built ut the rear of the building to keep summer fruits. Messrs.

She was born near Lebanon, but spent a large part of her life and wedded Mr. W il liaui Farley in this place. Her maiden name was Barbara Gingerich. She was about sixty-eight years old. —The price of paper has now ascended to an almost dizzy height. As bustles are no longer fashionable among the ladies and many city dailies will dispense with their usual supplements, the amount of paper used will bo greatly reduced and manufacturers will net find the advance in price a benefit. ' —February, tho shortest month uf the year, is gone, and, notwithstanding it# short stay, Secbler A Co. sold tho usual amount of groceries. People knew that the month, having so many Sundays, was unusually good, and therefore had the sound sense to go to the store that sells tho best groceries. —Lamb A Calaway, the painters fram | Baltimore, who have recently established i themselves at the old boot and shoe stand ; of Louis Doll, on High street, nave bud | circulars and bill head* printed and are prepared to embark in a progressive busi ness. They already have about a dozen engagements to fill. —On Sunday next at 4 o'clock, will oc cur the usual monthly meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association. Rev. J. F. Delong, of the Reformed church, has consented to conduct the services, and it i will be an opportunity for many who have not yet heard tho reverend gentleman, to :do so. All are invited. —This is-tho month of March, generally | considered the most disagreeable in all the year. It receives its name from the planet Mars. It is the month of strong winds and changeable weather, but as it is the first month of spring, its great faults aro over looked, for the pleasant weather of spring and early summer follow*. —On Friday evening last the barn, or stable, of Mr. Jacob Rohn, of near B<>als burg, was entirely destroyed by fire. With it were burned thirteen head uf cattle and three valuable horses. The loss was a serious one and will fall heavily upon Mr. Bohn. Little if any insurance existed upon the property destroyed. Rev. Mr. Wood, of the Pleasant Gap M. K. church, has recently been conduct ing a very profitable revival meeting at that place. Since his pastorate com menced there he has been tho means of ac complishing much good, and his congrega tion will petition conference to continue .him with them for another year. —Mr. John Wesley Glenn, who, about three years since, removed from Millheiin to Kansas, met a sad death at his home in that State, by being struck on the temple with the handle of a windlas. This de plorable event occurred on tho 80th of last January. He was about forty-three years of age and well known in Penns Valley. —The death of Mr*. Elizabeth Rider, wife of George Rider, of Milesburg, oc curred on the 18th of last month. Her death was caused by a large tumor of the liver. She was attended during her final hours by Dr. Thomas R. Hayes, of this ptace. She was a Christian lady and reached in triumph that bourne whence no traveler returns. —On Saturday, tho 20th instant, Mr. William 11. Fry, wilt dispose of at public sale, at his residence two mile* west of Pine Grove Mills, a very large collection of farm stock and machinery. Four head of horses, one brood mare with foal, a good trotting buggy, a South Bend plow, a new superior fertilizer drill and a thrashing machine are mentioned among numerous other valuable articles. Those interested will do well to attend. Messrs. Fasic & Son arc ut" present repainting tho residence of Mrs. William P. Wilson, on High street. As spring approaches and nature dons her loveliest garb, this comfortable, home-like residence will also assume a correspondingly beauti ful exterior. —The adult rending room in connection with tho Young Men's Christian Associa tion was opened last Monday evening, and will be continued the first four evenings of each week, as long as it is appreciated by the public. —Miss Kva Rhea, of Willinmsport, sis ter-in-law of Mrs. Oliver lthen, nee MISB Multio Morrison, formerly of this place, was married on Thursday last In the Mul berry street M. K. church, of Williams port, to Dr. H. W. Williamson, of that city. Rev. R. Crittenden delivered a sermon in the Presbyterian church, this place, last Sabbath morning. In the evening there was no service in the church, owing, we believe, to tho illness of the pastor, Bev. William Laurie. Mr. Al. Grow, editor of Lock Haven's excellent daily Journal, gave his friends in this place a "short, but sweet" call one day last week. Al. seems to be prospering in his new enterprise, and he deserves the best smiles of fortune. i —Now has the golden *ag of clothing dawned upon Centre county. The new store of Goldsmith, Stein & Hexter is a -tar of the eleventh magnitude. Mr. I Samuel I.ewin, the manager, is a host |in himself. When you make your next visit to town call at the Branch store at the old stand of J. Newman, Jr. —The art of glass hall shooting is still a source of amusement to many of our most skillful marksmen. At a trial of skill that took place on the Fair Ground last Saturday the following score was made: Moore ..: I 0 1 t t 1 0 I 1 I— Ism liner 1 1 I 1 1 1 t I 1 0-0 .sun I I i u o i t t 1-; Tout I tele \ I I t u 1 t I 1 I I~* foeltr, SV K n 0 0 0 0 1 1 il I o—.l IV.t-r. X K I I 0 I 1 0 t 0 0 0-S T..UI IT —We perceive that Ovid F. Johnson, Esq., who formerly favored us with some j highly interesting sketches of travel in ; Europe, has been entertaining tho citizens ! of Harrisburg by a lecture on "Mirabeau," | for the benefit of the Young Men's ChrU j tian Association of that city. The subject | was well chosen, and judging from the ' notices in the newspapers, it w* ahlr jnd skillfully handled lecturer in de lineating the character of the great F'ench i man. —Mr. M. Shires, teacher of Pottor's Mill* Grammar school, gives a report for j the month of February, in which he say* : that Carrie McClaskey, Ileltie Landis, Eliza McKlroy, Linr.ie Evans and Richard Palmer were present each day. Master J. W. Nhires did not miss one word of five 1 hundred that were given him. Mr. Shires invites directors to visit his school, as only 'one —Mr. J. M. Gilliland—was present i last month. —lt gives us peculiar pleasure to an nounce that Prof. John Mason Duncan will open a select school for young ladies and gentlemen in one of tho rooms of the ! public school building, commencing the first Monday of May next. The Professor's unequal led qualifications for this duty, and the great respect and confidence in him self with which be has inspired the entire : community, render it superfluous for us to add anything. No other person could be mentioned to whom anxious parents would so willingly trust the intellectual and moral training of their children. Appli ! cation for admission to the school may be made at any timo to the Professor. —The Methodist congregation, of this place, aside from making a substantial sum of money by their festival enterprise on Friday and Saturday last, also had a pleas ant time. On Friday the greedy creature* actually six large turkeys and an equal number of the tarn* feathered fowl on Saturday. Many other toothsome dell carina were sold and as eagerly devoured. The oysters, turkey, ice cream and cake, &c , were each served at separate tables, which ensbled the visitor to partake of just what he desired, without investing an entire half dollar. If greater pains had been taken to givo the affair circulation through the public prints, the receipts would have doubled. A* it was, however, the congregation are to be congratulated on their success. Business hss now been partially sus pended, and the energies of our entire pop ulation brought to bear upon the solution of the 13-14-16 puzzle. This last boom is having a big run In the newspapers, and is unquestionably tho problem of the hour. What practical good is to be accomplished by fitting fifteen small blocks of wood in a small box U not apparent at the first blush, but we suppose there is some hidden pur pose, inscrutable but Important, to be gain ed by golling the block* arranged to suit the lunatic who designed this game of how not to do It. W. A. Sweeny, of the Con rad House billiard parlors, succeeded in properly arranging the innocent looking piece* of wood, hut he was so astonished at his success aa to be unable to repeat hi* performance a second time. Several others have stumbled into a correct combination, only to be baffled at every succeeding ef fort. In the meantime the craxe is at ita helghth and takes ita plae* along with the third term and the Addisonian Club. TUB ORATORIO or "CRKATIO.N."—Per haps a more delightful and appreciative audience tins never assembled to hear a concert in this place than that which gath ered in Humes' Hall last Thursday evening to listen to the grand rehearsal of Haydn's "Creation," the preparation of which for this special performance has cost months of assiduous labor by Miss Obnmacht and her devoted class. Not only were the youth, beauty and talent of this tofcn present, but Howard split Mr. Bernard Laulli and his family, while distinguished strangers from various places were in attendance. The large audience gathered early, filling every seat. The performers entering, the outside doors were closed to cxcludo inharmonious sounds, and the audience braced themselves to drink in the full flow of melody. In regard to the rendition of the oratorio, although there were slight errors, yet ail join in speaking naught but praise, as u more difficult selection of music could not have been chosen. From the sweet solo to the heavy chorus all exhibited much training. Mrs. Cove at the piano seemed the person ideation of music and was well followed by her orchestra. Purity, sweet ness, compass, power are the qualities which are instantly perceived in Miss Ohninaeht's voice, and each displayed it self to perfection this evening. For Mr. Kvau Bluiichard it is highest praise to say that his efforts last Thursday night were j equal to his best on any previous occasion. Miss McGttiley and Mr. Keller, always good, show evidences of great improve ment. They have not yet reached the zenith of their powers, equalities of soft ness and firmness in Miss McGinley's voice and of tenderness in Mr. Keller's are developing themselves, which were not noticed before Mrs. I)r. Thomas K. Hayes has an exceedingly bird-like voice, and, in connection with Mr. Orbison and Mr. Bradley, gave the concluding trio in a very sweet and graceful manner. The grand finale, "The Heavens Telling," was the most suj>erb part of the evening's entertainment. It seemed like the great work of creation finished, all nature com plete and animated, and the heavens in their gran! revolutions and beauty tellinjr the praises of God. Everybody was well | pleased with the evening's entertainment and Ml*# Whnmacht and her cl*- have j been the recipients of many compliments.

The carriage contained live occupants, but, •strange to relate, the little fellow escaped with but a slight cut on the back of his \ head and a bruised face. A very fortunate ■ result to what might have been a serious I accident. j —A meeting of the Undine Fire Com- I pany was held in their parlors on Tuesday | to take into consideration the request of | the council to be allowed to use the rooms | of the company as a place for the regular ; meetings of the municipal legislature.

Botue of their immediate descend ants are yet with us, now numbered amongst our old citizens, who must soon follow their forefathers to that "bourne from whence no traveler returns." Keach ing back to childish days, we have a glimmering recollection of George Ken ning, the hatter, who in "iang syne" was one of Bellefonte'* respected citizens. (If the old landmarks referred to but few re main. They have given place to the march of improvement. The Bellefonte of tho present is quite different from the Bellefonte of sixty years ago, but still not so entirely changed as to prevent Mr. limning tracing bis old play grounds. One tiling remains unchanged. Our glo rious "Big Spring" still continues to flow willi unabated vigor, throwing up its pure, icy, cold water at the rate of thousands of gallons per day. Eurly Recollections. To TIIK KIMTORS OV TIIK CENTRIC DEM- I OCRAT :—ln looking over a file of old ! papers, I came across two ancient docu j menls. One was the last will and lesta | menl of Jacob Helming, dat<*d Harrisburg, i Pa., March 21st, 1810. The other an or der drawn by Rzekiel Zimmerman on •lames Putter, Dr. Daniel Dubbins, John G. Lowery and Klishn Moore, guardians fur the heirs of Robert Boggs, deceased, in favor of Franklin B. Smith, and dat-d Milesburg, July IT, 1817, which order was afterwards assigned to my father, George | Helming. The*e have brought to mind ; my own recollections, as a child, of Bellc ! fun to and vicinity. I have it by tradition ' bat my great-grandfather, Boggs, settled ill tie- Bald Kagle valley previous to the Revolution and Indian wars, and partici pated in them. My grandfather, Robert j Boggs, was born a short distance below Milesburg, ami my mother and myself j were born on the same farm. There was I an old holiow button wood tri-e near the j Raid Kagle creek, on the Bogga farm, call , <*d liie Kngli-s Nest, from the (act that the •Id Indian chief, Bald Kagle. had ocru | pied it fur his wigwam. The story of my I grandfather shooting an Indian who at | tempted to decoy him into ambush, by im itating a wild turkey, may still be reinem iwred by some of your oldest citizens. In ; 1821 my lather removed to Milesburg, and HI upied the lu-u-e arid lot m xt below the j bridge. At that time there was a two or • three-story warehouse on the r.ar end of | the lot next the creek. The Lipton's Greens, Mil,es, Hoovers, McKtbbont, Ac., i are still familiar names to ruv ear. In 1823 we removed to bellefonte, my ' father purchasing the stone bouse on the ►outh end of Main street, near the road leading to the big spring William Irvin kept store north of us on the same side ol | the street. Judge Hu-ton's residence was opposite the store, and following a lane ent to the next street was the residence of Andrew Gregg, and opposite him lived a Mr. Reed, a jeweller. The southw<t corner from us was occupied by Mr. Mc (i<-e, a blacksmith. The old Academy on ■ the hill near the big spring was kept by a Mr. Kickock, and a Mr. Parker taught school on the street leading north from Pntriken's corner. There was the Simp- I son's mill and the Snyder's mill on Spring l creek, and the Ironworks on the same stream towards Milesburg. I can remem ber Judge Burnside, Roland Curtin, Hen !rv Petriken, the Armours, II u means, C. j Trcziyunly, Ac., Ac. The arrest of Munks for murdw, bis trial, conviction and exe cution were an exciting theme in those | days. My first recollection of-politic*, which I have dabbled in considerably since, was the Gubernatorial election in 1824, between Shultz and Oregg, and my boyish sympathies were with Gregg, as a Itelle fonter. In the spring of 1825 my father and family removed to libica, N. Y., and only onco since then bsve I visited in Bellefonte. On a return trip from Wash ington, in 1858, 1 made a flying visit to your place, intending to pass one day in looking over old scenes, without making myself known ; but Unfortunately in ask ing a simple question at Milesburg my identity became known, and pressing in vitation* for visit* from relatives and old family friends became so numerous thst in despair I took the early morning stsge for Birmingham, which I*have ever sinco regretted. I crave the pardon of those kind friend- who then tendered me their hospitalities, and would state that owing to force of circumsOhcw* which rendered it necessary for me to he home by a stated time I was compelled to trea't them so shabbily. Nothing would now afford mt more plurn than a visit to the home of my childhood. Of my father's family I am tho only remnant of the Pennsylvania stock loft. A brother and three sisters, born in New York, ara still living. My brother resides at Indianapo lis, and is general manager of the Indian apolis, Bloomington and Western railroad. Vary respectfully, Yours Ac., JOHN O. HKNMNO. HUDSON, Wis., February 25, 1880. —I desire to call the attention of Centre county farmers to the fact that I am hand ling again this season File-he's Onondaga Planter , which" gave such universal satisfac tion last year. My sales then were unex pectedly large, but from the present outlook I expect them to be doubled the coming season. The mess&stursr of this plaster claims thst Its quality is Improving and that it now contains 19J per cent, more Gypsum then any other other piaster quar ried in the United States and will prove it by analysis, certificates, Ac. On applica tion I will send to any addrees, free of charge, an interesting Rule book on plaster, showing iu discovery, introduction and use in the U nlted States, and the compara tive value of the different plasters as prov en by the Slate Board of Agrioulture. LAWRENCE L. BROWN. -—Mr. Penn Bigony sprat Tuesday last in Lock Haven. Sunday School Protrrean n KULTO as DEMOCRAT— /VOR Sim.- An other year of our Society work closes with the present month. If you bad space to record tbem, I could give you many fa< u of interest gathered from my part of the field which now embraces all of northern Pennsylvania. I state one of the latest items for this year's record. Within the past few days, it ha* been my privilege) y, see at least two new union Sunday-school* well organized with their different e)e merits successfully working together in harmony. Kacb of these will have an average attendance of over fifty. There are some denominational Sunday-school* gone into winter quarters, that should be "provoked to good works" by these union examples. Best of all is the e*i<Jence of Divine favor attending our united efforts It should hardly be necessary to say that all those who profess Christianity, "bi-h<;, priests and deacons, as well as missionaries and Hunday-school workers, should always be mutually helpful in ail Christian en. deavors for the spread of the gopo) and the conversion of the world. I desire, to express my sine r- thanks ar.d that of The American Sutulny-Sil,< I l' ra r to Christian minister* and all other friend* who have so kindly co-operated with * during this closing year.
