We hope the "talk" will resolve itself

—The members of tho African M. K.

Ohio, son of William Harter, Esq., of
Anronsburg, met with n severe misfortune
on Friday the 2Gth of March. His rnsi- j
dence with a largo portion of its conteots
wa* entirely consumed by fire. The loss
wss sbout $5OO, upon which there wss no
insurance. He has met with several simi
lar losses since his residenco in Nevada.
—A slight conflagration occurred yes
terday morning about six o'clock at the
residence of Mr. Abram Ryan, on Thom
as street. It caught near the chimney,
and was discovered by Mr. Hamuel Ryan,
while on bis way to the Water Work*.
Without making an alarm, the hasty ap
plication of a bucket of water effectually
quenched the dames, and what might have
been a serious fire wss prevented.
—Among the recent business changes in
our community we notice thst our friend,
Mr. J. N. Van Ormer, has taken |*es
tion of the Humes mill, in .Spring town
ship. Mr. Van Ormer has the reputation
of being a first class miller, and he i* pro
pared to let his work speak for itself. His
new neighbors will find him a pleasant
and obliging man, and he will no doubt
speedily make friends in bis new borne.
—lt is with most genuine feeling of pain
that we record an accident to our former
citizen, Mr. Hiram Holler, now of Tyrone.
A few days ago he was standing on a step
ladder at one of the show windows of his
new store in that city, when he slipped,
! alighting upon one of bis limbs in such a
manner as to break it, how seriously we
did not ascertain. It is well known that
one of his limbs was shorter than the oth
er,, and it was the shorter limb, we under
stand, that was broktn. It wa sn exceed
ing unfortunate occurrence.
—The strike at the Clearfield mines still
continues with but little prospect of an
early settlement between the operators and
miners. If things exist, as represented,
that the miners are wiUing to labor fi>r the
some price heretofore paid, 60 cents per ton
provided their earnings are paid in cash,
they would seem to have justice on their
side. But they claim that they are obliged
to receive their pay in orders upon certain
dealers who pay a bonus to the operators
to obtain them. Tho miners do the work
and ehould have fair play. If they must
receive orders instead of cash let it be their
own choice aa to the dealing place, and not
oonflno them to specific plsces where they
must be bled to mske up the bonus paid the
operators.
—The reliable Millheim firm of grain
dealers, Messrs. Gephsrt A Musser, have
recently become the purchasers of the
large grain house erected by Mr. Smith at
Coburn, on the Lewbburg and Tyrone
railaaad, where it Is their intention to
carry on an extensive trade In grain, flour,
feed, coal, plaster, Ac. Messrs. G. AM.
are enterprising business men,-hare an
abundance of capital, and with the ample
facilitlaa at their command there is no
reason why they should not make things
lirely about Coburn. We know both
gentlemen so well, that we bastard little In
saying that la their business relations with
the community, fklr dealing will always
be the rule on their part. Success to you,
gentlemen. 1
—There am people who believe in living
on vegetable diet exclusively and abstain
from eating meat. Their number is very
small in this community, and tliey only
prevail in largo numbers in places where
|>oor meat shops exist. If all communities
hnd in their midst meat markets like that
of Hechler & Co. no one could resist the
temptation of eating meat.
—The school taught by Mr. Daniel
Dunkle, at Marah Creek, gave an enter
tainment on Wednesday evening, March
ill, which was attended by about two hun
dred and fifty persons. The exercise* did
much credit to the teacher and scholars.
Masters Wilson anil Jackson lleaton each
distinguished themselves —tho lormer in
an oration on "Woman's Bights" and the
latter in the prominent pHrt he took in a
dialogue.
—The grocery store of S. A. Brew A
Hon is perhaps more conveniently located
than any other in town. It is next to the
Post-office, and but a few steps from the
Court House, to which everybody must go
when they visit town. It is also one of
the best grocery stores in town, and is n
fair representative of groceries outside of
the large cities. All the necessaries and
many of tho delicacies of life can bo
bought there.
—Mr. 11. Byxbe, foreman of the llrjntb
liean office, will issue, next Monday morn
ing, what will certainly be an innovation
in Bellefonte—a daily morning paper—
which promises to be a permanent institu
tion. It will be called tho Morning Sewn.
Wo wish for it the greatest prosperity,
hoping that it will continue as the Morn
ing Sews, and never, from ill-support, or
other cause, have reason t<> appear in the :
character of tho mourning news.
—The average attendance at the Belle
fonte Young Men's Christian Association
reading room for boys, during the past
winter, has been equal to that of a similar
institution at Harrisburg. The amount of
lawless mischief and crime committed by
boys in this place during that time has
been less than for many years before.
Money has been saved tho county for the
punishment of crime, and the moral
character of the Bellefonte boys has been j
elevated.
—The Convocation of Williamsport is a
small organization of ministers of the '
Kpiseopnl church, which meet* every three '
I months. The next meeting is to be held
i in the Ht. John's rhurcb, Bellefonte, on
1 Tuesday the '2oth instant. Bishop Howe,
; of the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania,
; to which Jurisdiction Bellefonte belongs,
I will be present and administer Confirma
tion. The meeting will doubtless tie an
interesting one to the members of the •
Episcopal denomination, as the question of |
dividing the diocese, so as to form a new i
one with Bellefonte, as the new bishop's :
home, will tie discussed. All the meetings
will be open to the public except one to be
held at o'clock on Wednesday morning. !
—Court was called this week for the
trial ol certain casea that the partis* had
agreed to submit to the judge*. The list
was made up of throe cases, as follows : Ist,
The Bird C'oal A Iron Company vs. The
Bellefonte A Snow Shoe Railroad Com
pany ; 2nd, Robert Valentine and others
vs. The Bird Coal A Iron Company; 3d,
Henry BrockerholTs Administrators vs.
I<ewis Haas. For the trial of these causes
, court met on Tuesday, with Judge M*yer
and Associate Judges Franck and Hjven
on the bench. The second case on the
list was called and has since occupied the
j time of the court, Beaver A Gcpbart and
E. Blanchard appearing for the plaintiffs
and Hon. Joshua W. Comly, of Danville,
Hon. 8. K. Peale, of Lock Haven, and
Alexander A Bower for tho defendant*.
( Tho case I* an ejectment, involving the
title to certain lands in Hnow Shoe town
| ship, and at the time of going to pros* had
: not been concluded. The first case is of
the same character, involving about the
j same questions. At tho conclusion of tho
suit on trial it is expected that the court
will proceed with the case of Brockerhoff
against Haas.
—Mr. O. W. Rumberger, teacher of
Patton township school, in rendering a
report for the past school term says that
Lillie Kepheart, I.aura Kumberger and
Harry Kumberger were each present every
day. Miss Laura Kutnhcrgifr and Edward
McKntire have the reputation of being the
beet spellers in the school. As a general
student Mis* Lillie Kepheart take* front
rank, while Harry K. Norris is excellent
in Algebra, Arithmetic and (irammar.
Among the cla**e*, that in the 2nd Oeog
raphy is considered best. Its member* are
are: Mary Wise, Mary Gray, Minnie
Norris, Nelia and Mattie Rumberger,
Delia and Mattie Iloekman, Lizzie Wise,
Joneph Hoven, Arthur Norris, Allen
Green, Alfred Maguire, 7.ne Gray and
Harry McEnllre. Ellsworth Hellers, Tom
my Gray, Edward McEntire, Laura Kep
heart, lUy Green, Mattie and Delia Heck
man kept the neatest and cleanest copy
book*. Mattie Gray excel* a* a reader.
William lleckman, Mary K. Norri* t £fien
Green, John C. Kumberger and Thomas
Gray promisa to make good dselaimer*.
At Is usual, the school doaed with a liter
ary entertainment. Three director*—Mr.
John Muster, Col, G. Dorsey Green and
Mr. Anthony Wise—were present and
made remarks of an encouraging nature.
Professors Heston and Christy, of Bute
College, who were also at tho entertain
ment, became sufficiently enthusiastic to
treat the school to speeches. Mr. Rum
borger Is highly pleased with his school,
and both directors and scholars return the
sentiment with Interest.
ACCIDENT NEAR NITTANY HALL.—A
sad accident befell tho family of Mr.
Joseph McCaleb, residing near Nittany
Hall, one day last week. As we are in
formed, Mr. McCaleb went out to cut up
a largo tree that hud been blown down by
the storm of a few days previous. After
being at work for some time, ho discovered
that lie had been followed by two of his
little children, aged respectively five and
three years. Not wishing to have them
so near him while using his axe, he direct
ed them to go away, which they did. It
seems, however, that instead of going fur
away, tliey went, w'thout being noticed
by their father, into the excavation made
by the uprooted tree upon which he was at
work, where they remained. After the
fallen trunk of the tree had been cut oil",
the uprooted stump immediately flew back
into its upright jtoxition, and Mr. McCa
leb discovered to his horror that his little
ones wore buried beneath it. When taken
out the youngest one was found to be dead,
and the other one insensible and seriously
injured. The dead child was buried on
last Friday, at which time our informant
told us the other child was still living.
MEETING OK TIL K PREMUYTKRV OK
HUNTINGDON IN TIIIH I'I.ACR.— The num
ber of ministers and elders who assembled
in this place on Tuesday morning to parti
cipate in the deliberations of the l'resby
tcry of Huntingdon, was, we judge, cijual
to expectations. Including the ministers,
elders and, in some instances, members of
their families, the visitors certainly ex.
ceeded one hundred in number. These all
gathered at the opening meeting ut 11 A. M.
in the church, and listened to exorcises j
in every respect the same as a Sabbath j
morning service, the sermon being preach- 1
ed by Kev. Wilbelm, the retiring rnodera
tor. The number of persons from town
who attended the opening meeting was
not large, they perhaps being more inter
ested in preparing dinner for the visitors
than in any other exercise.
The afternoon session of Presbytery was
devoted to business. At the evening ses
sion a missionary sermon was delivered.
It was also determined to hold the next
annual meeting at Birmingham. An ad- ,
|journed meeting of Presbytery was also j
1 appointed to meet at Milroy on tho third
i Tuesday of June. Business session- were !
held yesterday.
AITAIR.- AT TIIR FORGE.—A decidedly
unpleasant occurrence took place last week
at Valentines forge, fourteen or fifteen of
their employes being discharged. It was
in consequence of the men joining a Union i
such as is in existence among the iron men :
at Pittsburg, and in op[>oilion to the i
wishes of their employers. The advan- j
; tages afforded tho men in becoming rnern
l tiers of this Union and the objection to its I
t existence here we do not know. But with- j
out committing ourselves in any way to
either side of this trouble, we belieTe to
express the universal sentiment of our com
munity In a desire to see the difficulty ar
ranged in a manner satisfactory to both |
the parties to it. No one wishns to see
, the prosperity of these Important manu
facturing industries in any way re
-1 tardvd, and much less is it desired
I that the laboring men and their families
; shall be brought to suffering through lack
'of employment. Wo therefore trust that
j an amicable arrangement may lie s|ieodily
' brought about.
MAOAZINE* AND PAI-ERS WANTED.—
The Young Men's Christian Association,
i of thia place, would be extremely thankful
I for the donation of a new stock of illustrated
[ magazine* and papers. Those in the boys'
reading room have been read and re-read
repeatedly by the large number of boys in
attendance. To continue the interest among
them, there should be a fresh supply—
something new for them to look at. Pub
i lications with simple composition and
large illustrations are preferable. Old
magazines or papers that you have laid
away in your garret will do as well as
new ones—only be sure that tbey are chaste,
moral and entertaining. A postal card
directed to any member of the Association
I informing him that you have magazine* or
i papers at hit disposal, will he honored by a
j call to receive them.

RECORD OK Fot'B I)KATII. —The many
friend* of the late Dr. P. D. NefT, of Cen
tre Hall, were much shocked on Thurkduy
morning la*t to hear of hi* *ud<len death
while attending a lady patient, Mr*. Butn
gardner, at Centre Hill. Or. Nell" wa*

ing and wa* largely attended. Mr*. Hum-*
gardner, who woe receiving hi* profession
al *ervice* at the time of hi* death, al*o
died, and wit# lying at her home a corpse
when the Doctor'* funeral took place.
—Among our death notice* will be found
thatol Mr. John Akey, of Fayette county,
lowa. Mr. Akkey wa* a native of Snow
Shoe township, this county, and for many
year* a highly esteemed and active citizen,
who*e death will be much regretted by
ho*t* of friend* and acquaintance*. Hi*
wa* a brother-in-law of Au*lin Hinton,
K<|.
—Mr. Joseph Shirk, of Potter town*hip,
aged about TO year*, died quite suddenly
last Sunday morning of pneumonia. He
had been ill but a very short time, a week
before being in active health. He wa* a
native of thi* county, and ha* resided for {
a very long time on the farm back of the |
Old Fort Hotel. Well known and highly
esteemed, he passed to hi* end lamented by
numerous relative* and friend*.
—We learn with regret of the death on
last Friday evening, of 'Squire George
Hperring, of Howard. Mr. Sperring was
a nufl'erer from asthma, and since the los*
of hi* wife in August lost, hi* health had
failed quite rapidly, and fur three week*
prior to hi* death he bad been confined to
hi* home. Notwithstanding this, death j
came to him somewhat suddenly, he hav- !
ing been walking about hi* house and j
yard the day previous to the night on !
which he died. Mr. Sperring wa* born in I
Kngland, in 1812, served nearly Ave years I
in the British army, bought hi* discharge I
in ]B3. r for £2O, and the ame year came
to this country, and joined hi* parent- and (
family, who had proceeded him, and were
then living in Bellefonte. His arrival in
Betlefonte wa* on a Sunday, and during
the absence of hi* family, who were at- :
tending church, at Miletburg. Properly
directed inquiries soon enabled him to find :
their home. Peering through the window |
he made *ure he was right bv seeing sun
dry articles of furniture which had been
familiar to him in the old home in England,
and at once climbed in at the window, and
wa* found in j>eaceable possession when
the family returned. In connection with
his father, Mr. Sperring took large con- !
tract* in building the Bald Eagle canal,
which located him at Howard, where he ;
married a daughter of the late William
Tipton, and ho* since resided. Mr. Sper
ring enjoyed to a large degree the confi
dence and respect of bis neighbors, by
whom he wa* elected to the office of Jus
tice of the Peace in 186(f, and re-elected in '
1871, and 1870. His funeral, on Monday, '
was largely attended, many of the older
citizens of Howard and vicinity being
present. The service* were conducted in
a very feeling manner by the venerable
N. J. Mitchell, who ha* l>een a constant
personal friend ol 'Sjuire Sperring s during
the forty-five years of his residence in this
country, and who took occasion to pay a
warm tribute to his worth and probity.
This is a noticeable instance of long-con
tinued pleasant relations between pastor
and people. Elder Mitchell married Mr.
Sperring and Mis* Tipton, in 1838; has
buried such of their children as have died ;
married those who are married ; baptised
those of them that have entered the church,
and having out-lived them both, ha* had
the sad duty of officiating at their obse
quies. Indeed, this is a series of duties,
which Elder Mitchell, in his long and
eminentlv successful pastorate ha* per
formed (or many families along the Bald
Eagle _ _ _
