can find out by visiting the store.

several other worthy citizens live about
half a mile further out the street, and are

will endeavor to bo present at each session.
—On Monday last a work of exquisite
beauty was standing on the counter in the
Bush House office, the production of tho
Bohemian glass blowers who exhibited in
town laat week. The groundwork was a
silver sea of foam. Above this, upon the
branches of trees, were per.-hed birds of
brilliant plumage. A noble ship was also
riding upon the billowy sea. A glass
vase covered this delicate and beautiful
piece of workmanship. It was offered Ibr
sale at $26, and would make a most superb,
though costly, mantle ornament. We be
lieve, it did not find a purchaser, and was
taken away by the company.
—Suddenly nnd unexpectedly on Friday
afternoon last old Boreas blue a perfect
hurricano. Ladies' chignons and gentle
men'* hats were lifted from their head*.
Some were recovered, while others wero
blown into Spring creek jind are now
swiftly floating tewnrd Chesapeake Hay.
•Mr. John Sourbeek's bill hoards fell bo
fore the blast. The wind concentrated
itself on the rear of Joseph Brothers'
handsome brick store structure and forced
in the gable end of the building. The fall
ing bricks were stopped by the substantial
attic floor, and hut slight damage done.
Persons in the store, however, were great
ly frightened and almost imagined for a
short time that the entire building would
come tumbling about their heads. A ven
erable tree near the M. K. church was
prostrated. In the country considerable
havoc was created, in Coalville almost
every out building and fence yielding to
the forco of the wind. Between this-place
and .Jacksonville, three large derricks con
nected with the ore hanks have been blown
down. We hear that a large cattle shed
on the farm of Mr. John Woodward, near
Howard, was also prostrated. It was a
general March blow.
I desire to call the attention of Centre
county farmers to the fact that I am hand
ling again this season Fitehe's Onondaga
I'taster, which gave such universal satisfac
tion last year. My sales then were unex
pectedly large, but from the present outlook
I expect them to ho doubled the coming
season. The manufacturer of this plaster
claims that its quality is improving and
that it now contains I!'J per cent, more
Gypsum than any other other plaster quar
ried in the United States ami will prove it
by analysis, cortilicates, Ac. On applica
tion I will send to any address, free of
charge, an interesting little book on plaster,
showing its discovery, introduction and
use in the United States, and the compara
tive value of tho different plasters as prov
en by the State Board of Agriculture.

—The Y. M. C. A. service on Sunday
afternoon last, owing to thesudden illness of
; Itev. J. F. Belong, of the Reformed church,
who had been appointed to lead, was con
ducted by Prof. John Mason Duncan. It
! is unnecessary to say that Mr. Duncan ac
quitted himself with even more than his
usual ability. His exposition of the sever
al passages of Scripture which ho had
chosen for tho occasion, was exceedingly
fine. Hev. Decker, of Alloona, also eugag
"d in the service. Several of Bcllcfontc's
beet male -ingers were present, rendering
I the music much better than usual. Al
though there was but a slight attendance,
owing to the inclemency of the weather, it
proved to be an unusually pleasant meet
ing.
—The fact that Mr. Jacob Baker, of
, Howard, holds nine commissions as justice
of the peace is just now attracting atten
. lion. His administration as justice covers
a period of forty years, and he is still the
popular candidate. Before he was elected
justice of Howard borough he was a town
ship judge, which accounts for his extra
commisdon. It is seldom that men of such
j integrity can be found. At every succeeding
term hi- fellow citizens vote for him, be
because they can trust him. All who wish
the scales of justice to balance evenly over
the affairs of that ancient burg, also wish
lor Mr. Baker a prolonged life and many
more terms of oflk-o.

man, Jr., Esq's., are now on a trip to the
large ckies. Next to Grant, these two
gentlemen will of course create the most
startling sensation. For a few daya the
cltlee will be vieingonn with another to do
them honor. They will spend a large
amount of money judiciously while absent
and will bring home with them a stock
such as has never before been seen in
Bollefonte. This will lie displayed in the
"Bee Hive" store, and will afford an ex
cellent opportunity for those who desire
to purchase tho very latest spring and
summer styles.
—Heavy folds of white ribbon hung from
tho tightly cloeed doors of Mr. Louis Doll's
largo I>oot and shoe establishment last
Tuesday, bospeaklng the deep grief which
was occasioned by the death of some mem
ber of his household. Upon inquiry, we
found it to be true—that his youngest child
had, on the previous day, been stricken by
death and carried by the angels to Ilim
who said "Buffer the little ones to come
unto me."
—The first of April approaches and peo
ple who intend to move are greatly delight
ed at the prospect I It is thought that a
much larger number of persons than usual
will change their place of residence. Those
who do so will, as a rule, move from one
house into another. Those who do not
"flit" will continue to occupy their pres
ent abodes. Wo wish all of them Joy.

cellent place for person* in that vicinity to 1

—Last week we gave some particulars
of a fatal accident that happened on the

| learn that the young man was a son of Mr.
| Joseph Weaver, of Gregg township. lie
j was twenty-two years old. At the time
of the accident he was returning from
Spring Mills, where he had delivered a
load of wood. His funeral, which was
largely attended,ocurred on tho following
Monday.
—An organization has been effected
which is to be known as the Bollefonte
Sportsmen's Club. The purpose of this or
ganization is to see that laws applicable to
tho protection of game and llsh are en
forced. Mr. John A. Wagner has been
duly appointed fish warden by the fish
commissioner of the State, and is delegated
to make any information which will lead
to the arrest of any one who violates the
law in this particular, and the organiza
tion above named have pledged themselves

MINNION WORK AMONO THE LADIES
A largo number of ladies representing the
Women's Foreign Missionary Society of
tho Presbytery of Huntingdon, met in the
Second Presbyterian church of Altoona,
last Thursday. It was the occasion of their
annual meeting. Several ladies from this
place were present, and the exercises, a
portion of which we copy from tho Al
toona Tribune , were of great interest :
In the morning the meeting convened
and rejiorts w-ro handed Tn from the thir
ty-two societies and ba.ids composing the
presbytery. After organization an ud
| dress welcoming the sisters wtio were in at
j tendance from neighboring churches, was
delivered by Mrs. Dufllold, wife of the
j pastor of tho Second Presbyterian church.
This was responded to by tho president of
the meeting, Mrs. N. I>. Or bison, of Helle
fonte. Reports from the various societies
wore then read, From them we gather
the following : The society is now in the
fifth year of its existence. There has
been a steady growth in the number of so
cieties and young people's bands. Of the
former there are twenty-seven and of the
fitter five. There lias also been a con
stant increase in the yearly offerings, ot
spread the gospel in heathen lands. The
first year the amount contributed was
$812.20; the second year, $1670.12;
tho third year, $1811.13; the fourth
year, $1880.63; and tho present year,
$2239.86 i making a grand total of $B,.
618.03, contributed to the advancement of
religion, which would not have been ob
tained in any other way. An interesting
paper was read by Miss Htewart, the Sec
retary of the society. Mrs. Ogjcn. a re
turned African missionary, gave them a
very attractive description of the natives.
She had with her the full costume of ana
! tive African, and all her hearers seemed
to be of the opinion that it was more for
show than for protection from the weather.
All of the officers of the society were re
elected to serve for the ensuing year.
They were, President, Mrs. X. I). Orbi
; son, of liellefonte ; Recording Secretary,
j Mrs. Wm. I*. Wilson, of liellefonte; Cor
responding Secretary, Miss C. W. Stewart,
of Coleraine ; Treasurer. Mrs. William
Russet, of le-wistown. S-ven YieePresi-
I were also elected.
In the evening the church was filled
with ladies and gentlemen to hear an in
j teres ting lecture by Rev. Mr. Dufficld.
All the exercises were greatly enjoyed.
! GONE. WT.—Tuesday morning of last
I week was called the "Exodus day" by the
j people of Millheim. The reason was be
; cause forty-one |<ersons from that vicinity
thought it best to obey tbe sage counsel
1 of the immortal Horace Greeley, and on
that day had gathered at Coburn station
Ito board the train for the Great Writ
! Not only they, but all their kin and friends
had come also, and made one of the larg
est and most mournful assemblies ever
gathered at that station. Those who de
! parted to make their future abodes in west
ern homes are as follows : Mr. P. It. Stover
and family, and Mr. J. A. Bowersox—ten
l>ersons in all—went to Pleasant Valley,
! Lincoln county, Kansas ; Mr. Harry Hink
i son and family, Mr. Ambrose Yoneda and
. Mrs. Rachacl Young—sixteen persons—
all to Rovetta, Lincoln county, Kansas:
Mr. Jacob M. Ilarter and family and Mr.
John M. Harter—nine persons—tn Tipton,
Morgan county, Miasouri ; Mr. E. It.
i Wolf and family and Mr. George W
j Sharp—four persons—to Carthage, Jasfier
county, Missouri ; and Mr. E. W. Mauck,
i to Freeport, Stephenson county, 111.
His EARTHLY LIFE KNURL.—Last week
we made passing notice ol the severe ill*
ness of Mr. Jared St ruble, of Pleasant
Gap, who was seized with an attack of
pleurisy about thrae week* since. Notwith
standing the constaut care of physicians
and friends, Mr. Struble continued te
grow worse until his death on Friday
afternoon of last week. The deceased was
forty-four years of age. lie was a gentle
man with whom, either as a friend or citi
zen, it is painful to part. As one of the
most esteemed citizens of Pleasant Gap,
his death is a loss to the community. His
wife and three children have been called
upon to part with their best earthly friend,
and it will be many days ere the separation
shall cease to give pain to them. He was
a consistent member of the Lutheran
church and an earnest Christian roan.
His end was peace, and the memory of his
life will always he held in pleasant recol
lection by ail who knew him.
THE GAME OF FlFTEEN.—"Fifteen"
has now become the "perfect" number in
America. Almost every family in this
place possesses a set of the new and mys
terious game, and are puzzling their brains
to solvo the problem. Notwithstanding
the almost infinite number of combinations
the blocks may assume, many of our lady
friends, according to their own testimony,
have easily made them take the proper
form, hut, strange to say, they can never
do it before witneeeea nor explain how
they did IL Consequently, they cannot
secure the hundred dollnr priae. The
game may be bought for fifteen cents, or n
home-made set may he easily manufac
tured.
BELI.EFONTE, March 6. 1880.

'That a first-class audience will b* press::

Boston people would not relish, and it •
doubtful if without it the theatre-g .in,-
public would consider the season regularly
commenced. At least this is the ,y t
appeared lat evening, by the audmn. <• list
completely tilled the vast buiidiug. Th*

played, and when the curtain rose a; ■;> a> -•
long and loud greeted the well-kn n fa -
and form of the happy backwoodsman,
with hi* coon skin ana rifle, and w hen l
changed these garments for those of civ: -
xation, the applause was not lessened. T '
speak of the plot of the play w id he
useless and uncalled for, a it is probably
already well known, for while there sr->
doubtless many who have never M ni ■
play—and right here it is proper t • sy.
"do so"—they have read or leen t"'d < f
its details, of it# ruined home, the I.i'.'i"
Difficulty," and that famous game nf r- ker
Notwithstanding his travels and f atti--
with life, Mr. Chanfrau shows but little f
the wear and tear of time, and his person
ification of last evening was more perfect, I
if possible, than ever before. AVithoit
detracting from Mr. Chanfrau in the
slightest, it is a question which attract the
most attention, ''KU' 1 or "The Two
Beat*," the "Judge'' and ''Af n.,<r." T1 n
highest compliment that can be paid is to
say that if they should attempt the same
on the street that they perform on the
stage, their apiieals would never g" ur
