tends to locate.
—Col. John L. Eckel, of Sugar Valley,
is the possessor of some Continental money
dated February 21, 1777—over one hun
dred years old. While we admire antiqui
ty in coins, it is exactly the opposite quali
ty we require in good groceries. Indeed,
the fresher they are, the more desirable
they become, and therefore all should
patronize Sechlcr & Co.'s grocery store,
wiiich keeps nothing but fresh goods.
—One hundred thousand people witness

most and best groceries.

—An attempt at a runaway took place

team of two mules and two horses, at
tached to a heavily loaded lumber wagon.

the substantial post in front of tho depot,
effectually stopping their further progress.
—To-morrow evening a considerable
number of our beuux and belles will go to
State College to witness tho representation
of "Eugene Aram," by tho College ])ra
matic Club. After the buggy hire has been

tend will witness a fine entertainment and
have a jolly time.
—The corner stone of the new Evangel
ical church, near Howard, was laid ou
Sabbath of last week, as per announcement
in tho DEMOCRAT. The ceremony was (
performed by Ucv. Mr. Dick, pastor the !
of tho church, in the presence of very
large audience, many of whom were from
u distance. Mr. Isaac Frain, of Marion
township, presented to the officiating cler- '
gyman, tho book, papers, list of names,
Ac., which were placed in tho stone.
—The numerous cyclones and fires which
have mado the spring of lhftO quite remark
able are HISO the occasion of many false re
|iorU. For instance, lust week a report
prevailed that tho City of Lock Haven j
had been destroyed by storm, but she still
stands as of yore on the banks of the Sns- i
quehnnnu. A report, however, in which
nil can place entire confidence, is that 8. A.
Brew & Son have one of the best groceries
in or out of Centre county. The best way
to prove tho truth of this rumor >s to try it.
—Ambrose and Samuel, sons of Mr.
Thus. Khodcs, of this place, were amusing
themselves with an old loaded pistol on
Friday morning last. While the danger
ous instrument was in the hnnds of Am
brose, it went off, and as Sammy was
standing in n direct line with the passing
ball, it inflicted a severe flesh wohnd in
the calf of his right leg. It is fortunate
however that the ball did not puss a little
higher up. Moral—do not allow children
to handle firearms until they understand
how to use them.
—-Mr. Cyrus Deitz, of Howard township,
met with a serious misfortune by fire last
week. His little children got hold of
some matches, and going to the barn to
play, managed to set them otf among the
straw, and burned the barn with nil its
j contents. The horses were fortunately out
at work, but valuable colt, with spring
I wagon, harness and tools were all cen
j-unied. Mr. Deilz had no insurance, and
as he is just starling to clear up a farm for
1 himself, his loss falls upon him with great
I severity. There is much sympathy for
| him in the community, and we learn that
. steps are being taken by some of his neigh
' bors to give hitn assistance.
—lt falls to every one's lot to annually
; have what is known as a birthday. If we
wished to bo pednntic, we would say the
anniversary of one's birth. But without
entering into any learned disquisition upon
the construction of the (pieen's English,
we pause to say that Mr. W. R. Teller,
the genial and justly popular proprietor of
the Brockerholf House, suddenly remem
bered one day last week, that another cycle
had been completed, and that he was—but,
out of consideration for tho gentleman's
feelings we are constrained to suppress the
concluding {airtion of the sentence. At
any rate ho was "blank" years old and he
invited his friends to enjoy a royal lunch
in tho evening in commemoration of his
good luck in not having been called upon
to hand in his cheeks and square up with
the board. We wish him many happy
returns of the day.
—Company "B," N. 0., of this place,
has been disbanded and a now company
formed, to lake tho place thus vacated in
the Fifth Regiment. "Bellefonte Fenci
bles" is the cognomen by which they are
known, borrowing the appellation from a
similar organization existing in this place
during the war. The first thirty-five gen
tlemen who offered their lives, liberties
and sacred honors upon their country's
altar form a very formidable array and aro
aa follows :
Amos Mullen, Wilbur F. Malin,

Last Sunday some of the Bellefonte
young ladies appeared in bewilderingly
beautifully costumes. Those mado of a
combination of dark and light summer silks,
or those all of pure white material relieved
by a rose or two were the most charming.
A. confusion of bright colors, especially if
they are not chosen with Yegard to artistic
effect, notwithstanding the expense of the
material of which they may he composed,
spoils the beauty of any young lady. AVe
saw two costumes which could not be sur
passed for perfect taste, but refrain from
mentioning the names of the young ladies
who wore fhem.
LOCK HAVEN'S MCRDKK SENSATION.—
Hcarcoly had the jury in the Lycoming
county Court, at Williarnsport, decided
that the two person* recently tried hy it
for the high crime of murder, were
guilty of that heinous offence, than Lock
Haven, a city which rivals the former in
more ways than in the amount of lumber
sold, also cornea forward with every evi
dence that a similar horrible crime has
been committed within her own fair bor
ders—und that, ton, obscured by all the
mystery that men and women, money and
lire can throw around it.
A house situated on Bald Kagle street
was burned to the ground quite early on
Saturday morning, and in its dying em
ber# was found the body of its unfortunate
occupant, Mrs. Mary K. Friedel, a woman
of flfty-flvo years of age. Miss Josie De
land, who lives in the next house, was at
her window at half past two o'clock in the
morning, and heard a noise in Mrs. Fried
el's house, but did not attach importance
to it, as she thought Mrs. Friedel was
only engaged in a pugilistic encounter
with her daughter. This young female,
und also Mrs. Friedel'# daughter and son
are positive there was money in the house, ;
Henry Friedel, the son, placing the j
amount a# high as of
which was in gold.
Inquiries instituted by the Daily Journal
and also the post-rnortoin examination in
dicate that Mrs. Friedel was murdered be
fore the house was fired. George Wagner,
a German, employed at Gossler A Co s |
planing mill, was arrested on suspicion, j
The only evidence connecting hirn with
the crime appears to be that he frequently
visited Mrs. Friedel, and was consequently
aware that she kept money in the house.
At all events, the Clinton county courts ;
seem destined to be the scene of an excit
ing murder trial.
"Or* Bon" MARRIED. — Mr. Robert
Larimer, #on of i'leasanl Gap's good citi
zen, Mr. J. G. Larimer, and whom it is
extremely convenient as well as apropo* to
dub "Our Bob," because he has been con
nected with the DEMOCRAT office during
| its entire existence, departed on the train
last Wednesday afternoon for Clearfield.
i There was nothing strange about that, how -
i ever, as lie had frequently journeyed to that
j town before, and whenever he chose to
depart for any length of time from the
j honored precinct# of the printing office.
! an attraction, delightful in it# essence and
| strong in its power, drew him irresistably
in that direction, often we guessed the
| sweet attraction which enticed him thither, I
and as ollen ho declined to acknowledge
| it. But at last as the May sun grew strong
and the days grew long, and the flower#
i put forth their glowing jmtals, "Bob"
' again renewed his preparations for a visit
to the town in which his affection# seemed
to b most firmly fixed. Those inexplica
ble but unmistakable sign# which suggest a
momentous event in life were plainly evi
dent in the actions of "Bob," and we sus
pected strongly, and, as events proved,
; truly, that the coming trip would be an
. important one to "Bob and perhaps to
1 another.
He reached his destination, though the
i cars did travel slowly, and was married on
I Thursday night to Mis Kiiia Mcl'herson,
at the residence of her mother, Mrs. John
McPherson, in Clearfield. The wedding
was appropriately solemnized bv Rev.
; George Leidy, of the M. K. church of
that plan*
The happy couple returned the following
| day to this place and were driven immedi
ately to the groom's home at Pleasant
| Gap, w here hospitality ever stands with
| ojien arms bidding all "to enter. There an
| other happy scene took place.
The bride is a sister of Ross Mcl'herson,
j Esq., ex-Sheriff of Clearfield county, and
j spoken of in terms of the highest praise.
The groom—well, he is so well known that
!he requires no introduction. Everybody
joins in wishing theni a married fife of
mucji happiness and prosperity.
AN EVENING IN SPIRIT LAND. —Prof.
Cecil, the greatest and most successful
Spiritualistic exposer in the world, will
.give one of his marvelous and mirth pro
voking entertainments in the Opera House,
lon Thursday (this) evening, May 27. The
Boone, Ta., Rrjmhliran, in speaking of him,
says : "The entertainment given by Prof.
Cecil, last evening, was a gratifying ex
posure of the spiritualistic baubles and the
superstitious notions which have pervaded
to a remarkable degree the unparalleled
civilization of the nineteenth century.
During the past summer the people, to the
number of 10,(100 at a time, have assem
bled In mass meetings throughout the
•onntry to attest their devotion to spirit
ualism, and have endured the fraudulent
inflictions of so-called mediums with a
composure and evident satisfaction which
is startling to men of intelligence and
reason. At the entertainment in question
the audience were permitted to go behind
the scenes. There were few prominent
operations which take effect in the dark

Blc#t nre the martyred dead who lie
In holy grave# for freedom won
Whose storied deeds shall never <Jie,
While coming years their circle# run.
Blest he the ground where heroes sleep,
Arid blest the flag that o'er them wave-
Its radiant star# their watch shall keep,
And brightly beam on hallowed grave#
While freedom lives, their fame shall live
In Glory on her blazing scroll :
And love her sacrifice shall give,
While anthems round the altar roll.
Year after year our bands shall le-nr
Immortal flowers in vernal bloom.
Till God shall (all lis borne to e I,r - -
immortal life beyond the tomb.
