beautiful floral visitors of spring time,

resentative of the refined taste of its fair
owner.
—Gen. Grant, it is reported, will remain

Where he expects to go during his absence

eral has visited almost all the other at
tractive places ip the world, it
that he will come here to examine Into
the workings of Bechler & Co s grocery
store. He has often heard of this wonder
ful grocery store, and will not rest aatiafled
until he sees it.
—"Heller," the magician, was pro
grainmsd to give an exhibition of his
magical skill in this place on Friday eve
ning last, but when he discovered that an
entertainment so excellent aa the Anglo-
American Marionettes failed to attract an
audience, he knew it waa useless for him
to attempt to do so, and gave up the ex
periment in disgust. He paid bis printing
bills, however, with a promptness worthy
of better success.
KofhfVn to Lioiat.ATic TTi'Ojr.—Tho
usual number of borough councilman met
last Monday night, but it was found that
thoro la little business of importance at
present demanding their attention. Re
quests were received for the erection of
two gas lamps—one on High streot near
Mr. Patrick Dooloy's new residence and
ono in tho vicinity of the Friends' mooting
house on Piko street; also ft request that
the water pipes bo extended along Linn
stroot to Mr. Morris Cowdrick's residence.
Then the Mnrkot committee wont through
the form of submitting a report, showing
that tho market fees had reached $2.60.
Tho Finance committee reported a small
amount paid on tax duplicates. All the
legislation ponding was speedily dispatched
and council adjourned to meet again on
May 17th.
—Although the Constitution asserts that
all men are endowed with equal rights,
it is, nevertheless, true that they are not
gifted "tvith equal capabilities. Some men
have capabilities for ono pursuit in life
and some for another, and they are given
these in a greater or less degree. No ob
serving mind can doubt that Sechler & Co.
are exactly tho men to keep a llrst-class
grocery store. Their success in the past
and their prosperity in tho present inspire
confidence, and are attracting to them a
large part of Centre county's patronage.
Every season witnesses tho perfecting
of some new art in tlio preservation in a
pure state of fruits, meats, &c. New ves
sels are patented in which to safely keep
and conveniently measure syrup* and oils.
Then there are instruments for cutting the
exact amount wanted of dried meats,
cheese and article* of a similar nature.
These all add to the complicity of the
grocery business, as every enterprising
grocer must have his store well supplied
with modern appliances. Among the gro
ceries which excel in this respect is the
store of 8. A. Brew & Son. They provide
in every possible manner for the cemfort
and convenience of their customers.
Mr. John Wolf, a worthy citizen of
thi* place, wn* the victim of a serious ac
cident on Wednesday morning of last
week. As he was engaged in painting the
residence of Mr. Nicholas Bower, on Bish
op street, he attempted to step from the
ladder to tho roof of the house, and in
doing so slipped and fell to the ground, a
distance of twenty feet. Hi left arm was
fractured in several places, with a very
seriou* break at the elbow. It is feared
that he will never regain the u*e of his
arm, although hope# are entertained that
the skill of the attending physician may
avert such an unhappy result. At present,
lie is getting along very well.
—Tho Anglo-American Marionettes,
who visited this place on Wednesday and
Thursday last, gave a most charming and
moral entertainment. The large amount
of scenery introduced set off the per
formance was of the most elegant descrip
tion, and in combination with the bril
liant toilets adorning the bodies of the
little wooden figure*, cro*td an agreeable
stage effect. But the attendance on Thurs
day was so small that it was hardly worthy
a performance. Tho company were not
disheartened, however, as they receive
well-merited support in other places they
visit, and travel with a well-filled exche
quer. They paid their bill* "like a man."
But tlioy will not be apt to repeat their
visit to this place.
—"Advance and Retrent" i the title of
the |>othumou* book of General J. B.
Hood, whoc modest personal bravery was
the admiration of every one during the
late war. It is a narrative of hi* personal

" KOTKH Y ROM HOWARIJ. —Death seems
to bavc found a Held ripe for his sickle in
our good old neighborlwod and is gather
ing his harvest with unrelenting energy.
Within a few months an unusually large
number of our.old citixem havo answered
to his summons. Within ten days no less
than three who havo lived long, useful and
respected lives among us have gone down
into tho "deep dark valley," and as wo
write wo hear of others who are "only
waiting." On Sunday of last week, April
26, Michael Schenck, Sr., who had lived the
allotted "three score years and ten," in
this community, departed, following close
ly his lifb-long companion, and leaving
behind him the fragrant memory of a well
spent life. Mr. Schenck was a member of
ono of the oldest families on the Raid F.a
gle, and was "laid beside his fathers," in
the family burying ground a short distance
below the village. Old as Michael Schenck
was he left behind an uncle, Daniel Schenck,
who was a voter before Michael was born,
but who followed him to the same resting
place, but a few days after, at the ripe age
of ninety-two years, Daniel Schenck was
born in Lancaster county, April 2, 1788,
and removed with his parents to his late
home on the Hald Kugle in 1786. This
was then a wilderness, and was a part of
MiHlin county, compelling tho very few
inhabitants of these parts to journey all
the way to I.ewistown to attend court.
From a point of time at which the
Nineteenth century, noij rapidly nearing
it* close, was yet spoken of a* in the future,
until within a few days back, Daniel
Schenek has toiled and labored on the
same farm, on the banks of the benutiful
Bald Eagle ; and now calmly rests in his
last home on a portion of the land from
which, a* a boy, he helped remove the
grand old oaks which had held it in un
disputed possession for centuries. Mr.
Schenck's life was one of honest toil, and
unpretentious piety. For more than sixty
years he wa a consistent member of the
Mennonitc church, and lived in strict
observance of all its ordinance*. Mr. j
Schenck was in no sense a politician at
any )>criod of hi* life, hut esteemed highly
the privilege of franchise, and made a
conscience of voting at every election, '
first with the Whig* and afterward with ;
the Republican*. His labor ion* and pru
dent life wa rewarded with abundant suc
cess, and he leaves four farm, now occu
pied by hi# two sons. Hi* funeral, con
ducted by Rev. Mr. Carr# of this place,
and Ifcv. Jno. Bruhaker, a venerable
preacher of the Mcnnonile faith, was very !
largely attended by the relatives and !
friends, to whom he had been "I'ncle j
Daniel" for so many years.
I
Scarcely had our community recovered j
from the shock occasioned by the denth of I
so old and well known a citizen, before it >
received another in the announcement, by J
telegraph, of the death of Mis* Susan C. ;
Montgomery, daughter of the late Joseph
Montgomery. Miss Montgomery had fr
some time l>eon a sufferer ftora cancer, and
after seeking rplief in vain from repeated '
surgical operations, visited a sister, Mrs.
Campbell, living near Belleville, Mifflin
county, for the purpose of undergoing i
special treatment there. This also proved
futile, and on Monday lat, she gave up
the unequal struggle, and calmly yielded
to the great last enemy, in the fifty-sixth
year of her age. For near twenty-five
years Mis* Montgomery had been an
active and zealous member ol the Lick
Run Presbyterian church, and her loss in
this relation will prove only less irrepara- !
hie than that sustained by the family in (
which she wa held in such affectionate
esteem. Possessed of a religious character
of great purity ; much more than ordinary !
intelligence; great vivacity, and a never
ceasing flow of spirits, Miss Montgomery
was not only tho life of the home circle,
but so pleasing a social campanion that
her death will leave a void in the commu
nity that ean never he filled. She was
buried yesterday morning, and a* her re
lationship was very extensive, her funeral ,
was largely attended.
These deaths, so rapidly succeeding each
other, and following so close upon others ;
which have already been noticed in your i
paper, cast a shade of quiet over our com- j
■nunily, and vet the busy hum of life goes
on.
Mr. Lauth's Improvements of the old
Howard Iron Works make rapid progre**.
The new church built by him approaches
completion, and before many weeks will lie
ready for dedication. New houses, barns
and fences, are being erected on all side*,
and change* Intended to facilitate the bus
iness of the establishment seem to be
of daily occurrence.
A couple of young Indie*, daughter and
granddaughter of the late 'Squire Bper
ring, hare taken step* to improve what
seem* to he a good business opening, by
starting a fancy store in connection with
a millinery and dressmaking establishment.
The young ladies deserve to succeed, and
we hopo they may.
Our farmer* are as busy a* usual at this
season, and it is gratifying to notice that
they seem to be improving in their meth
ods. Land is tilled more carefully, and
more attention is paid to the prime necessi
ty of keeping It In good condition than
formerly. We learn that tobacco will he
tried to a considerable extent in this neigh
borhood this season.
A man named Lamsin, who came from
Clinton county to this neighborhood this
spring, seem* to have been sorely afflicted
shy ill health in hi* family. He brought
with him a lad of tome fifteen years who
for a fall third of his life had suffered from
a diseased leg. Dr. Hensr.l learned of it,
and of the father'* inability to meet the
heavy expense# of proper treatment, and
in the kindness of his big heart called to
soo tho lad. HO found liirn in a terrible con
dition, and decided that amputation alnrw
could save hi* life, sod with tlio chance*
aguinat him even then. Tho Doctor took
prompt measure* to make tho boy n public
ehurge, so far as expenses for proper food
and medicine wcro concerned, and after
some week* of nourinhmcnt and medication
to get tho little fellow'* *ylein in condition
to endure the operation, amputated the
leg, above tho knee, on Monday )a*t, being
assisted by Dr. Dobbin* of your tewn. It
i* needle** to *ay that tho operation wn* a
nkiilful and *ucce**ful one. The Doctor*
agreed that tho patient could not have
lived many month* with tho leg on. Tho
only chance for life he had wa in amputa
tion, and thin wan by no mean* a prorni*ing
one. The poor little fellow bore the *hock
of tho operation quite a* well a* it wa* ex
pected he would, and if he should get on
the next two or three day* a* well a* he
ha* so far, he may yet have a long and
measurably useful life. I)r. Hontxl de
serve* and receive* much credit for the
humanity and 'energy a* well a* kil!, dis
played in the case.
[The above communication wa* written
on Tuesday e ming, and a* we go to pre**
wo learn that the poor boy died Wednes
day morning.]

-It i* quite well known that I have rnarw
i tested some zeal, the pa, t two or three
year*, in repeated effort* to secure the
service* of Rev. J H. Vincent, D. it
