I school building. •
j —Not a single house is at present being
j erected in the limits of the City of Lock
! Haven, which shows that place to be in
' even a more confirmed state of dullness j
than this town. Bellefonte can boast of nt
least one elegant residence and a barn now
in process of erection —and a* to repairs, '
their nnine is legion.
—Lewin, at the Philadelphia Branch
Clothing store, U au enterprising gentle
man, and is never behind anyone in the way

one hundred varieties of thorn and they
aro really very pietty pictures. Ho ha*
kindly remembered uj in the distribution

William Thomas, ticket agent at the depot
at this place, was wedded to Miss Barah
Zimmerman, at the residence of the
bride's parents in Milesburg, Rev. W. O.
Wright, of that place, performing tho
ceremony. Mr. Thomas and his happy
bride departed on a honeymoon tour to
the West. We wish ihetn a life filled to
overflowing with happiness. Mr. Martin
Haines, of Milesburg, is filling Mr. Thom
as' place at the dejot, until his return.
—Mr. Charles Cromloy lingered for a
few days in town last week. Ho looks
very much a* of yore, except that his
dapper little figure is now surmounted by a
tall silk hat. Mrs. Cromley also accom
panied him. They departed for home on
Tuesday, having enjoyed themselves thor
oughly. Charley is engaged In the tea
business in Alteor.a. and is of such a vivac
ious disposition that he is well suited to
make his business a success in that lively
city.
Mr. Robert Lloyd, of Philipsburg,
was a visiter in town on Saturday, and
lighted up our sanctum with his genial
presence. Mr. Lloyd is a gentleman who
creates a favorable impression upon first
acquaintance, and the impression deepens
as the acquaintance ripens into intimacy.
He is proprietor of that excellent retreat
for travelers, the Lloyd House, at Philps
burg, and makes a most obliging and gra
cious landlord. The Lloyd House Is a
favorite hotel among sojourners in that
pleasant town.
—The pin manufacturer* of the United
States have formed a strong combination
and advanced the price of these useful
little articles. This will prove sad news
for the ladies. For if there is one thing
more peculiar than another about the
apparel of a woman, it is the number of
pin* she uses. But, although fancy prices
are demanded for pins, It is a great source
of consolation that groceries cannot ad
vance. Bechler remains firm and always
sells choice, fresh groceries at prices which
defy all competition.
—The Mountain City Band has again
been singularly fortunate in procuring a
loader to £ike the place of Mr. W. E.
Burchfietd, who did so much in bringing
it to its present status. The new leader is
Mr. Richard Willis, of New York, who
is well known by the title of "the world
renowned cornet soloist," and who will
arrive next Saturday or Monday to begin
operations. He has a fine reputation as a
musician. Under his skillful instructions,
the excellent material of which the hand
ia composed will be cultivated to its full
development, and become more than ever
before an bonor to the town and a credit
to itself.
—The officers nnd members of tho
National Guard havo not yet decided upon
a place in which to pitch their tents for
tho week's holiday they expect to take
during August, and they will doubtless go
wherever they ploaso notwithstanding
whut outsiders may say. But tho place
tlioy do favor with their presence will havo
ii lively and not unprofitable time during
their stay. The thrco brigades are com
posed of about five thousand men, nnd
thero will he a large number of other
visitors attracted to th#scene. The only
courtesy they will demand of the citizens
among whom they cast their fortunes for
that week are horses for their officers,
transportation for their ammunition nnd
accoutrements to and from railroad depots,
und straw for their horses and tents. In
return, they will leave behind fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars to bo distributed
among tho business men of the town.
—Notwithstanding tho very disagreeable
state of the weather on Saturday and
Sunday last, the attendance at all the ses
sion- of tho Y. M. C. A. local convention,
was decidedly encouraging. The good
people of Centre Hall, being enlightened
as to tho object and aim of tho Association,
were drawn toward it by the tender bond
of sympathy. As a rusult, many persons
who havo hitherto held themselves aloof
from It, expressed their determination to
henceforth uphold it with their hearty
support. A collection for tho benefit of
the Centre Hall Association was taken up
on Sunday evening, reaching about eight !
dollars.
—On Saturday, April 10, a tramp,
" wayworn, weary and tired," called at
the residences of Mr. W. F. Weaver, in
j I'enns Valley, seeking for charily. Mr.
; Weaver kindly bade him enter and re
; main until he should be able to pursue his
j journey. The guest remained until some
lime during Sunday night. Early Mon
day morning Mr..Weaver arose, discov
ered his guest's room unoccupied, found a
pile of soiled garments lying on the floor,
und looked in vain for his fine broadcloth
| suit. It had departed with the tramp to
parts unknown, where the tramp, in his
1 new disguise, is, perhaps, imposing upon
j some other hospitable individual.
—They say—and what "they say" is
• always true—that Forepaugh's show in
tends to pass this important town and
proceed West. Well, let Forcpaugb go
where he please*. What is his eternal
J loss is our everlasting gain. The crowds
will come to town, even if the grent show
| man don't favor us with bis show. Secblcr
! ha.i a show, and a better one than Fore
paugh's. He is constantly showing his
fine groceries, and the people are buying
them, nnd it is better to give him the
money than allow a traveling showman to
take it out west with him.
—The regular quarterly meeting of the
Agricultural Society of Centre county
took place in the Court Houte, Monday
night, eliciting the usual amount ef inter
est. President E. W. Halo was present,
presiding with dignity and grace. Capt.
George M. Boat, Captain John A. Hunter
and William Shorllldge were chosen dele
gates to attend the annual meetnig at tho
State College to elect trustees. Addresses
were delivered by Mr. William Shortlidgo,
John Rishel, Esq., Captain George M.
Roal, of Potter lowmhin, and Mr. Albert
Owen, of Philinsburg, all containing much
sound sense and practical wisdom.
—The thirty-second convention of the
: Susquehanna Dental Association, in con
nection with the I-ebanon Valley Dental
! Association, will be held at Mauch Chunk,
Pa., on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs-
I day, the ftth, Mb and 10th of June. The
Mansion House, at Mauch Chunk, will be
the headquarters of the convention, and
the rates of entertainment will be reduced
to two dollars per day. All members of
the profession are invited whether they are
members of either of the societies or not.
—The members of Gregg Post, of the
G. A. R., of Bellefonte, are already mak
ing pro[rations to observe Decoration
Day with proper ceremonies. They bare
secured Hon. Jo*. W. Parker, of Mifflin
county, to deliver the oration ; and as Mr.
Parker is an attractive and eloquent public
speaker, he will no doubt honor the occa
sion with an appropriate, instructive and
entertaining address.
—The internal appearance of 8. A. Brew
& Son's grocery has very much improved
during the past week. The proprietors
have become victims to the "rage" for im
provements, and their store, which always
looked fine, is now handsomer than ever.
This store is patronized by a large number
of buyers, and the Brews—both father and
son—ars considered among the most com
petent and skillful grocers in town.
—All tho members of Logan Hose Com
pany having hats, shirt* or belt* in their
possession are requested to return them to
to the hose house before the next regular
meeting, Tuesday evening, May 4, and
receive new one*, or report the same to
Mr. William lllllibisb, the secretary.
From this we infer that the new uniforms
have become a substantia) reality, and it
will not be necessary to repeat such a
reasonable request.
-—lf. W. Foutz, of tho Bellefonte Plan
ing Mill, intends toclo*eout hi* business
by the Ist of May, and from this time will
sell sash, doors and mouldings at extreme
ly low prices. Persons desiring anything
of the kind will make bargains by calling
upon him soon. 17-2t.

while Measrs. Henry F. and David Bart
ley were at work upon the tatter's house
in Spring township, the scaffolding upon
which llisy stood gava way and tbey both
fell to tho ground, ten feet below. Mr.
Henry Hartley's ankle was severely sprain
ed, but no other Injury ensued.

Rellefonte, April Ti, 1880.
HK!.LKK,TI!F. M aoiciax.—lt has been so
long since a genuine first-clas* magician
has visited this town that the appear
ance of the famous wizard, Heller, in Rcy. j
nolds' Hall to-morrow (Friday) evening,
will be received with pleasure. Ho Is an
nounced for but one exhibition, and those
desiring to witness his marvelous tricks of
slight-of-hand must take that opportunity.
He will give away some beautiful and
valuablo presents, consisting of sett of
furniture, lounges, silver-plated tea sets,
dress patterns, Ac. Every person will
draw something at there are no blank
tickets. The entertainment ftsclf will be
wonderful and worth a dozen times the
price of admission, which has been placed
at the moderate sum of 26 and 86 cents.
—Tho return of house-cieaning season
i* again at hand. Clouds of dust are float
ing through the air as carpels arc being
beat or shook in the rear yard. The man
with the whitewash brush smiles as lie plies
the brush along the ceiling for twenty
cents a coat, and the painter laughs
aloud as he covers tho soiled walls with
paper and paint. The "man of the house"
trie* to smile, but miserably fails, as ha
beholds the extensive and savory dinners
of mince pie, plum pudding and turkey
have now given place to whatever may be
most hastily and easily served. Beneath
his feet is the bare floor, upon tho table
arc boiled potatoes, bread and butter and
preserves, in the next room Is the ceaseless
din of the scrubbing brush, and the odor
of soap suds pervade* his nostrils. Oppo
site him is his wife who Is only posßive
about one thing—that she will work herself
to death before the house-cleaning it over.
At night he finds his bod removed from
its usual position to the other side of the
room, while the bureau has vanished en
tirely. ITi* wife thinks the new arrange
ment will improve the appearance. For
tunately for the maintenance of reason
on her' throne, this distracting state of
affairs only continues for a short time.
Then the wonder is how the same old
house and furniture can be to improved at
sucli slight cost. The out-door atmosphere
has been admitted todrivo forth the musty,
laey air of winter, and tha sweet sense
that a pure and healthy home hat been
re-established for another year takes pos
session of the mind.
—Oapt. Isaac Lytic, a gentleman well
known In and formerly a resident of
Centra county, died at Trenton, N. J., on
Tueaday, the 20th instant. #
C'KNLHK COUNTY PEOPLE IN THE WE*-
TERN CYCLOX E.— The now* of tho appall
ing disaster which brought death and dis
tress, weeping and mourning into every
home in the beautiful and thriving little
town of Marshfield, Webster county, Mo.,
wa* startling and terrible wherever it war
heard, but to many, even in our own
county, it wa* *ud in the extreme, becauae
of parent* or sister* or brother* who had i
emigrated to that western town and were i
victim* of the universal deatruction.
Through tho courtesy of a friend redding j
in the vicinity of Marshfield, we have re
ceived a copy of the Webtter County Newt, j
one of the two newspaper* published in ;
that ill-fated town—the one before u# being j
last Thursday's issue—which give# full and \
reliable particular* of the disastrous event, j
The town contained a population of \
eight hundred. Kighty were killed out
right, and two hundred were wounded, of ;
whom many are expected to die. A para
graph from an eye witm-M regarding the ,
storrn will prove interesting: "Sabbath I
day wa* cloudy, with a cool wind from the
west and southwest, with appearance of j
shower*. About 5 v. M. a heavy bank of *
black cloud* gathered in the *oulliwe#t and !
a* they concentrated it wa* evident that a i
storm wa* imminent, hut nono supposed j
that result* so horrible were in store for
us. Within a few minutes of OP. M. many
were startled by a loud roar in the south- i
west, and upon look in;; a cloud wa* seen, j
funnel shaped, revolving from east to west !
with terrible velocity. The base of the j
cloud wu* black as night, the centre being
lit up a* by electricity, causing many, at
first sight, to think it a burning building.
Ibis awful bosom of destruction camo on
with great rapidity, struck the town of
Mur-hfield at the southwest corner, widen
ing and branching in its course, and
within thirty second* where stood our
beautiful town there was nothing but a
mass of rutns filled with the dead and
dying, and resounding with the cries of j
the maimed and wounded and the lamen
tations of the survivors who were left deso
late The cyclone proper was preceeded a
few moment* by a trembling sensation
that likened to mild shock* of earthquake,
which was quite apparent to those who
observed tbc phenomena closely. The
few moment* that preceeded the coming nj
the storm, after it* character wa* apparent
to those who noticed it, gave an opportu
nity to muny to seek place* of as great
safety as possible, but the great majority
were unaware of the proximity of danger
■ until it win upon tUc-m, or weroso *liick('ii
with terror a* to be utterly helpless. '
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Wright arc the
first name# of Centre county |ople whom
we notice a* victims of the storm. Their
j frame house and barn wa* swept away and
they were killed outright. Mr. Henry
Bollinger, who we believe was once s resi
dent of this town, was killed, and Mr*.
Mary Bollinger is reported a* bruised and
cut.
There were several person* from Bedford
county, this State, who were either killed
or injured. Among them were, Mrs.
Hush, wife of Msjor J. L. Rush, who had
a limb broken and was otherwise seriously
injured, while their family of si* children,
who were in the house, were all more or
less injured ; and Charlie Chritnan, who
bad both arms broken.
SLROULAR AFFLICTION OP A YOFXO
j LADY.—"Truth is stranger than fiction,"
j and the following from the Lock Ilaven
I Daily Journal is among the things which,
though remarkable, is vouched for by per
sons who have seen the young lady. The
story run* thus:
At Wolfe # Store, Centre county, Pa.,
reside* a family named Minich, which has
for a mrn-.lw-r a young lady now aged
twenty-four year*, who ha*" never been
able to sit up a minute. From her infancy
the wa# afflicted with a remarkable growth
of the bead, the other part# of the b>dv
remaining slender and powerless. Instead
of the parietal bones uniting at the top,
they separated and the "soft spot" common
to children under one year, remains yet.
while the entire head is "elongated and ha*
a circumference about a* large as that of a
common peck measure. She is about five
feet in length and has spent all her days in
the cradle. It is impossible for her to
raise her head by any muscular exertion,
and she require* the aatno attention that
was necessary when a mere baby. She is
quite sensible and converse* with members
of her own family, but is exceedinglv
averse to stranger*. The eye of curiosity
*o often obtained upon unfortunate foing*
of thi* class, cause* her to wince and blush
and giveother signs of uneasiness, showing
a native sensitiveness. Bhe seems to bide
her wearisome situation with a resignation
seldom found in the human kind.
DEATH or Man. JULIA LOKH.—From
the Morning JViswf, of Monday, wo learn
that Mr*'. Julia Loeb, widow of the late
Anselm Loeb, for many year* a resident of
thla placs, died on Friday morning last at
tho residence of her son-in-iaw, Colonel
Isaac May, 1536 North Tenth street, Phil
adelphia.' She was the mother of Ferdi
nand and Moses Loeb, who were engaged
fc# a number* of year* in the butchering
business at thi* place. Her remain* arriv
ed in town on the 6r. M. train on MomMy,
when tho hearse, followed by a Urge del
egation of friends, proceeded directly to
the Jewish remoter v on l-ogan street, where
the body was laid beside Oie grave* of her
friend* who had preceeded her into eter
nity.

John Boob. Although the nuet strenuout
efforts were put forth by the people of
Baileyville to supprcw* the fiatr.e*, the
appliance* at hand were found inadequate
to the occasion, and in a few moment* th*
house was in ruin# Most of the content#
of the bouse were saved. The adjoining
residence, occupied bv Dr. Van Trie#, wa
in imminent danger, and wa* only aved
by the persistent and united effort# of the* 1
who came to the rescue.*
