A LIVELY THEATRICAL ENTERTAIN MENT. — Mr. P. S. Chanfrau, with a vory full and complete support, performed the play of "Kit, the Arkansas Traveler," in Reynolds' flail, on Tuesday night. In the personnel of the troupe thcro is not a poor actor, while Mr. Chanfrau and sev eral other* are really excellent. The two "dead beats'/—Messrs. William Maurice ami C. Howard—were a success in every movement. Mr. R. Fulton Russell, a* "Manuel Rond," made as complete and heartless a villian as one would care to meet. Miss Josephine Raker as "Kit's Wife," and afterwards as "Alice Red ding," boro the two roles in an excellent manner. With a few exceptions, this drama deals with either very odd or vory rude persons, depicting the vulgar side of life, and is devoid of anything of an elevating char acter. Cards, pistols and bowie knives in troduced between drinks form most of the thrilling incidents, with a slight bit of sentiment appearing at intervals. Rut the drama is replete with wit, which makes you laugh, while the numerous thrilling situations causes the blood to tingle a little faster through your veins. The only prolit there is in such dramas is the laugh and consequent physical refreshment to the spectator. The stage might be made a public educator and tho representation of the drama a noble profession if actors would devote their talunts to more refined personations. Mr. Chanfrau was greeted with a largo audience of the best people in this place, and should )>e pleased with his reception. All expressed themselves as well satisfied.

By an "occultation" is meant that the planet i* hidden for a short time by the moon. It is said to be very rare for the moon to deign to put out the light of a planet. The last time surh an event oc curred wa* in 1870, when, on the oth of August and again on the 3d of Septemlier, Saturn was hidden for a short time by fair Lunn. The spectacle is an interesting one to astronomers, but all ordinary person* care about tho matter i* to know that *uch an event did occur. Only the most favora ble circumstance* will induce them to take the tronbfe to look at it, and even then thev do it at the ri*k of receiving a stiff neclc for their pain*. Buy Power* it Son'* good guaranteed shoe* for ladica or gentlemen. You will then have a reliable article, exactly as rep revenled, and will not be manufactured from any of the different fancy-named leathers so often sold for a first-class good*, so-called for the purpose of coloring and misrepresenting, such a* grain and buff, which mean* split, Indian goat, which mean* sheep, and many other leathers which, if properly namod, all mean shoddy. Power* & Hon guarantee one iiair of their first-class shoe* to outwear lor pair* of the good* above described. —The Great Island House, of Lock Haven, ha* been rented by Mr. Krom, of the Camming* Hon**, and Mr. W. Penn Rigony, formerly of the Bush House, thi* place, who will lake possession about the first of next month. The control of thi* bouse by thee gentlemen will give our *itor city a first-glass hotel, which will frequently be the resort of Bellefonter* while in that place. —We have just received a very fine lot of ladiee' imitation French kid button gaiter*. They are very neatly gotten up, and cal culated to deceive almost any one unlea* they are (Misled in the different kind* of leather. We have also on hand the same representing goat In button or laoa.

M KETINO OF BOKOL'MII LxuIht.ATORH.— The motnbnr* present at the regular meet ing of Council on Monday night were President I fume* and Me**r*. Ardell, Hunter, McClure, Meek, Reynolds and Hhortlidge. Cliairuian of the Water Committee Rey nold* reported that Duncan, Hale & Co. had refused to erect their part of the fence along Spring creek. Mr. Ardell, however, submitted a minority report to the effect that Dr. Hale had consented to do hi* part provided other properly owner* will do the same. The following written report wa* aub mitted to the Water Committee : "The Water Committee beg leave to re port: That the machinery at tho Water Work* is in complete working order arid the engineer and superintendent of water pipes continue to perforin their duties to the satisfaction of your committee. " Your committee do further report, that it ha* come to their knowledge that the dam adjacent to the Spring and Water Work* ha* been raised eight or nine inches within a few years, backing an excess of water on the turbine water wheel, thereby reducing its power from eight to ten per cent., which amounts to at least 100,000 gallon* per week. The witnesses to these facts are Albwt Ammernian, George A. Rayanl, Rartrnm Galbrailh, Jesse K linger, Cyrus Strickland, James L. Sotnmerviile and John A. Wagner. In view of these facts, your committee respectfully recom mend that the solicitor be instructed to institute such proceedings in equity a shall require the owners of said dam to re duce the breast of the same to its legal height. WILLIAM SIIORTLIIKIE, Chair'n Committee. Bellefonto, Pa., March 16, 1N80." This report was adopted, when Mr. Mo- Clure, seconded by Mr. Meek, introduced tho following resolution, which was also agreed to: "Jlrsolrftl , That in accordance with the report of the Water Committee, submitted at this meeting, tho solicitor b* directed to commence proceeding* forthwith to have the dam of Halo A Duncan lowered to the projier height, so that there may ho no obstruction to tho flow of water from the Spring." The Fire and Police committee, through Mr. Ardell, reported that Mr. Lescure agree* to close a contract for hose for the I'ndine Hose Company at the samo price paid for that purchased for the Logan Hose Company, and to pay $0 a section for the old hose. Also that Mr. Lescure is ir. town, at his own expense, to give instruc tions with regard to the oiling and taking care of the hose. An application was made for two coal oil lamp* on Howard street, east of Alle gheny ; also for a lamp near Rush's Row. A communication wa* received from the I inline Hose Company for Council to use their room and supply light, fuel and jani tor. Also a communication from the Logan Hose Company, tendering their room. It proved the sense of Council to accept the invitation of the Imogen llose Company. Therefore, on motion of Mr. Hhortlidge, it wa* resolved that when Council adjourn it be to meet at the Hose House on the first Monday of April, at'.' o'clock A. M. President Humes -aid that he had im portant business to present to Council, and therefore called a special meeting fur 0.30 p. M. on Tuesday, March 10. LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT AT HOW ARD.— In our issue of February 12,' a Howard correspondent made favorable mention of the Literary Society at that place, and staled that arrangements bad been completed for a public entertainment to be given sometime in March. We now have information that next Saturday eve ning, March 20, ha* been fixed upon a* the time, a.id Lucas' Hall as the place for the fulfillmnpt of thi* promise. The pro gramme is varied and interesting, em bracing tableaux, recitations, music, etc. ; but the chief attraction of. the eve ning will bo the well-known comedy en titled "The People'* Lawyer," in which Solon Shingle make* himself so prominent. We are assured that Uie different parts in this comedy have b*n appropriately assigned, and that th j characters have been thoroughly studied, with a view to having the impersonation* as correct and real a* possible. Our young friend* en gaged in thi* very commendable enterprise solely for tho purposes of self-cultivation and entertainment, and not with any idea of money making, and have therefore placed the price of admission at ten cents, with the expectation of realising only suf ficient to pay incidental expense*. We have no doubt the neat little hall will be crowded to it* utmost capacity. IMrKovEMENTR.—The great stock of silverware brought to town by Frank Blair for the holiday* wa* disposed of at auction, and since that event the gcnllo man in question ha* been making some marked improvements in the appointment* of the store room in which he is located. That a change ha# taken place is apparent on entering the store. Paint, recently ap plied, contribute* much to its beauty and neatness. But what arrest* the eye are the remarkably deep and elegant new glass show cases, four of which have lately been added. They are all of glass and are the receptacles of many jewels, which they ex hibit to great advantage. MONDAY, January 6, 1880.—Our stock of woolens for the spring and summer season of 1880 Just received. Leave your order now. Respectfully, MONTQOMRRT A e., Tailors. —Mr. John G. Hess, the carriage man ufacturer on Bishop street, removed last week to his former home at Pine Grove. Mr. John Bartroff will carry on the same bnslnee* at the old location. FIOIITINO TU k FLAMKH.— On .Sunday afternoon last person* coining from the Presbyterian Sabbath-school discovered smoke issuing from the windows of the Reformed church and immediately gave an alarm of lire. The building was kept tightly clotted until the arrival of the hone companies, when two very eflecllvc streams of water were directed upon the flurnett, resulting in their speedy suppression, but not until the interior of the little edifice had been injured to a considerable extent. The lire originated in the basement of the building, it burned up between the walls, and bad gained considerable head way before it WHS discovered. Aside from the damage caused by the flames, the large amount ot water poured into the building completely ruined its interior, and several hundred dollars would be re quired to restore it to its former condition. There was no insurance on the building. We learn, however, that the congregation intend to erect an entirely now church edifloe on their present desirable site. As the Are occurred on .Sunday, a much larger crowd of people than usual were drawn together by it. Wherever there aro so many people and much water is used, of course, some one must receive a thorough deluge of it. ljuile a crowd was occupying the porch of the church, when a stream of water came whizzing into their midst. It struck a well-known and venerable gentleman directly upon the nose. From thence, passing in a direct line up his stately countenance, the watery stream lifted his hat rather violently from his head. This almost deprived the gen tleman of his breath as well as his equilib rium, hut at last he was able to exclaim in gasping notes, "Turn off that wa-ter"' Several other persons received so much of this shower, that a complete chango of garments was rendered a necessity. Mr. Hal Orbison is among those who can ex plain the sensations experienced bv an unexpected out-of-door* bath on a rather cold day in March. A "BOOM" A MONO TII E lii.vs.— Mr. iiaiscr Weber, of Howard, in connection with his good lady, are the owners of a well-bred, innocent hen which has lived and would have lived unknown to fame forever had nt our neighbor of the HiifrA man last week, got |M>session of an inter esting incident in iter humble existence and given it an airing before the public. It appears that because of her pretty Color this hen was |>cculiariy dear to the heart of Mrs. Italser Weber. One day the hen went in quest of something new arid rare to eat, and became wedged between the outside and inside walls of the stable. Here she remained mourned for ami at last almost forgotten f>r four wrecks, until some member of the family, in an explora tion after hidden hen's nests, heard a movement and a distant "cluck,' when back came the memory of the long-lost hen. Knowing that the ghosts of hens do not return, and that this mut he the original fowl, she was immediately ex tricated, greatly to the elation of all the family. The poor hen only weighed half a pound and was distressingly weak, but, under fhe care of her kind mistress, Mrs. Weber, she lias lawn resuscitated and is now about as lively as ever. This hen will never again be allowed to wonder away, as she is now among the most valued possesions of Mr. and Mrs. Raiser Weber. PUBLIC SALE.—Wo desire to again call the attention of our readers to the public sale to be made by Mr. William 11. Frv from his residence, two mile# west of Pine Grove Mills, next Saturday, March 20. So much good stock shd such a variety of farming utensils will be disposed of as to make the sale one of unusual importance. Particular attention is called to the fine black Norman stallion, the Aidernsy eows, the sixteen head of Lincoln sheep, the four head of horses, the horse gears, fly nets, Ac. There is also an endless variety of agricultural implements, which aro fully described is the printed bills. The sale commences at 10 o'clock A. M. MAN DROWNED. —A young man. named .Samuel Kelley, from Port Matilda, Centre county, and employed on Merrell's log drive, was drowned last Wednesday fore noon, in Wing A Bailey's dam, on Ander son creek, about two miles above Keckton. His body was recovered soon after it dis appeared in the water, but the vital spark had fled. The unfortunate man, it is sup posed, tripped and fell while walking over the logs, striking his forehead violently against one of them and stunning him so severely that he was perfectly helpless. Ilis associates made strenuous efTorts to save him , but they proved of no avail, lie was in the 241h year of his age, and unmarried. Ilis remains passed through this place on the Mail train Thursday afternoon, on their way to his former home in Centre county.—fTWr/leM Re/wMimn. —The fascinating game of 13-15-14 has had its "run" in this place and now the interest in it has wsned to give place to some other diversion. The fact lias been satisfactorily demonstrated that if any two of the numbers are transposed it is impos sible to again place all the blocks la their proper order, leaving the right hand space oi the lower row vacant.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Bellefonte Library Association wit I be held at their rooms on Monday, April 5, IWW, at P. xi., for the purpose of electing a Board of Managers for the en suing year and for any other business that may come before them. 41 JACOB V THOMAS, Sec, REV.
