finest groceries to be found in tho market.
—The bellej'onte Morning Sew a says

tion, are invited to be present.
—A citizens meeting was held at Lock
Haven, on Saturday evening and a suffi
cient amount of money subscribed to se

to their city from the enterprise.
—Capt. Geo. Michaels, an old and high
ly respectable citizen, formerly of Potter
township In this county, but for a number
of years past residing in Karthaus town

ly on Tuesday evening of last week. He

They deserve, and we hope will receive, a
liberal patronage.
—Our old and esteemed friend J. W.
Ponnington, Esq., of Philadelphia, drop

Mr. Ponnington is still engaged in the
boot and shoo trade and will no doubt
favor his numerous customers with a sight
of his genial face, and accept all tho orders
they can give him. Ho travels for tho
well known and reliable house of David
J. Hoar & Co., GUI Market street.
—A happy party of our young folk took
the Snow Shoo train at Bellefonte, on last
Saturday morning, to enjoy the pleasure
of a picnic at tho Intersection. The party
was in charge of Mrs. John P. Harris and
Mrs. A. O. Furst, and was miulo up prin
cipally of one section of Mr. Hughes'
school. Tho youngsters returned in tho
afternoon, after having spent a charming
day, delighted with tho amusements and
udventures of which they were the heroes
and heroines.
—From the Daily Journal , wo learn
that tho Board of Trustees of tho Central

spected citizen of Haines township, died

Fowler station, on the Lewisburg and
Spruce Creek railroad, on Monday morn
ing of last week. While in tho act of
signing a letter, he fell over and instantly
expired. Mr. Fowler had long been a
resident "in the mountains" of Haines
township where at one time he was exten
sively engaged in the lumber business.
He was about 75 years of age.
—We had the pleasure of meeting Mr.
Ferdinand Winters, of Altoona, during
his visit to Bellefonte last week. We were
exceedingly glad to recognize in Mr. Win
ters an old friend whom wo had not seen
for many years. He is a reliable and
trustworthy gentleman, and an accom
plished musician. We understand ho ex
pects to come to Bellefonte regularly for
the purpose of tuning pianos, and persons
having work of that kind to do can en
trust their instruments to him with the
assurance of receiving satisfactory results.
—The surveying party, headed by Ellis
Orvis, which has been engaged for the
past three or four weeks in running lines
on lands lying upon Beech creek, in Curtin
township, came home on Saturday. The
survey which these gentlemen are making
covers 15,000 acres of land, and will
require several weeks more for its comple
tion. The party went back on Monday to
continuo the work. During their late
perambulations through the wilds of that
region, the monotony of work was varied
by encounters with no less than fifteen
ruttlesnakes.
—A part of Mr. Duncan's school visited
the cave, in Penn's Valley on last Saturday.
While proceeding on their way in the
"Mountain Echo," —the large wagon now
owned by Mr. Barnes—the party met with
a slight mishap by the breaking of an
axle. The accident occurred near Mr.
Everly's blacksmith shop, on the turnpike
between this place and Pleasant Gap.
Dismounting from the wagon, they went
to Pleasant Gap and there succeeded in
getting Mr. Bilger's band wagon in which
to continue the journey. They returned
in the evening by the same conveyance
without further accident or untoward nd
venture tojnterfere with the pleasures of
the day.
—Tho concert given by Miss Snowden,
in Humes' Hall, on Thursday evening of
last week, was a most enjoyable affair.
Her pupils—one and all—acquitb-d them
selves with great credit. As a result of
careful and painstaking instruction thby
showed remarkable proficiency in the exe
cution of all tho music set before them for
the evening's entertainment. The Belle
fonte Orchestra added thpir sweet strains
to the occasion, and Miss Kate Curtin also
favored the audience with one of her
charming songs, which was received with
an enthusiastic encore,. Mr. Willis, tho
famous cornetist, also rendered several of
his beautiful solos. Altogether this con
cert was a success of which Miss Hnowden
may well be proud, and wo hope it brought
her substantial results.
—Edward C. Humes, Esq., displayed in
tho window of John C. Miller's book store,
on Tuesday, a beautiful specimen of pen
manship, presented to him many years ago
by Rev. John Tonner, so well remembered
by people of Centre county. In his day
Mr. Tonner was celebrated for his elegant
penmanship, as the rocords of the county
during the period of nine years that he
filled the office of Register and Recorder
testify. The specimen of his work shown
by Mr. Humes is a "Time Indicator,"
showing the difference in time between all
the principal cities of the United States
arranged in the shape of dials around a
centre—New York befhg the centre pioce
with the bands of the dial at twelve o'clock.
We presume it was called forth by the
discussions that took place on the differ
ence of time between the East and Chicago
after the deliberations of tho Republican
National Convention began at that city.
It is a splendid piece of work and a real
study.
—The barn of George B. Porter, with
six bond of horses, ten of cuttlo, throe hun
dred bushels of wheat, a lot of rye and
oats, wagons, buggies, horse-gears, cured
moat farm machinery, vuluod at S2, (AX),
on Warrior Ridge, two miles from Peters
burg, Huntingdon county, was destroyed
by lire between 11 and 12 on tho night of
tho 17th ult. Tho ilro is believed to have
originated from parties who visited tho
barn for plunder.
—Messrs. Bliss & Sons advertisement of
Sweet Potato plants was intended for our
agricultural pages, but did not arrive in
time. There is scarcely a farm in Cenlro
county which does not afford ground
adapted to tho sweet potato, and it should
be grown more generally than It is for
family use. The proper time to plant, in
this latitude, is from Juno 15 to 25. Tho
variety advertised by Messrs. Bliss is
specially adapted to cultivation in tho
Northern States, on account of its eurly
maturity.
—Tbe borough of Millheim was aroused
from the usual tenor of its way, on Mon
day evening of this week, by a suicide that
startled every one within its boundaries.
A young man, named Elmer Brown, a
blacksmith by trade and aged about 18
years, in a tit of mental aberration or de
spondency, sat down upon ono of the side
walks of the town, and plucing a loaded
pistol to his breast, pulled the trigger. Ho
never spoke, and in ten minutes was a
corpse. An inquest, headed by Esquire
Eiscnhuth, was immediately held upon the
body and the decision was in accordance
with tho facts as here stated.
—At a meeting of the Executive com
mittee of the Centre County Agricultural
Society, held last week, at the office of
Clement Dale, Esq., it was decided to hold
the county fair this year on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, the Glh, 7th and Xtli
days of October. Tho next meeting of
the committee will he held on Thursday,
the 17th inst., at which time it is expected
the premium list will he arranged, and
other business necessary for the success of
the coming annual fair transacted. It it
imjiortwit, therefore, that there should be
a full meeting of the committee at that
time.
Mr. Bti-h, with that energy so char
acteristic of him whenever he undertake*
to do a thing, is rapidly pushing his repairs
and improvements to the Bush House. A
large lot of new furniture arrived on Sat
urday and was immediately taken to the
hotel. The new carpets will be ready in a
day or two. The house will then be placed
in first-class condition for the reception of
summer guests, and wo hope to see it*
elegant and spacious rooms filled during
the entire season. Mr. Peters, the new
landlord, is a pleasant and obliging gentle
man, who seotns to thoroughly understand
his business.
From the Weekly Record, of Pitts
burg, we clip the following notice of Gen.
Beaver's speech on Decoration day ;,
"The speech of Gen. Beaver, of Belle
fonte, was exceedingly patriotic and con
servative. It is well known that that gen
tleman for several years ha* advocated
amnesty to all who fought on the other
side during our late war. No one doubts
tho patriotism of Gen. Beaver for so doing,
ns he gave a leg to the cause for which he
fought. The observance of the day at
Sewickly exceeded any previous demon
stration for a number of years, all the par
ticipants being residents of the borough."
| —Our friend, Mr. Henry Rothrock, of
Spring township, met with an accident
as ho was driving home from Bellefonte
on Saturday night. After turning tbe
corner at Allegheny and Bishop street*,
his horse became restive and began to
run. The horse brought up against a post,
and Mr. Rothrock was thrown from the
buggy. We understand, besides being
considerably bruised by tho fall, that Mr.
It. suffered a fracture of the jaw. We
hope it may not be so bad as this, and
trust the next time he comes to town he
will drive a safer horse.
—We are indebted to Col. Jatnes Oilli
land for a copy of the Montgomery Advo
cate, published at Rockville, Montgomery
county, Maryland. In glancing over its
psgce, our attention was attracted to the
proceeding* of the Democratic county
convention, and we were pleased to find
the name of our old friend among the list
of delegates to that body. James Gilli
land is a gentleman wbo is held in the
highest esteem in Centre county, and we
know that there are hundreds of his old
acquaintances who will be glad to learn
that with his honorable years, he does not
fail in taking a proper interest in public
affairs. ' .
Millhajpi was represented at Belle
fonte, on Tuesday, by a number of her
best citizens. We noticed among them
Hon. W. K. Alexander, Dr. D. U. Mingle,
Dr. Sam'l Gutellus, John Reifsnyder, Esq.,
and Messrs. William Mauck, Frank Knarr,
Elisha Campbell, Jacob Snook, A. O. Dein-
Inger, Jonathan Harter, Wm. Hennick and
M. Ulrich. The occasion that brought
these gentlemen to the county seat was a
suit at law brought by Michael Ulrich
against the town council of Millheim to
recover pay upon a contract for making
street crossings—seven in number—upon
which he claimed sixty-eight dollars. The
suit was heard before Esquire Renkin.
The prosecutor, Mr. Ulrich, was repre
sented by J. L. Hpangler, Esq., and the
defendants by Hon. C. T. Alexander. Tbe
case was finally settled by tbe parties—Mr
Ulrich agreeing to take $57.50 and the
borough to pay the coats.

—The Census Enumerator begun his
rounds on Tuesday, of last week. He is to
be pitied. A little patience, however/on
his part and on the part of the "Head of
the Fumily" will greatly expedite matters.
The penalty for refusing to answer the
questions propounded is SSO, and as the
Enumerator has the' strong arm of the
government to full bnck on, trouble t an he
avoided by promptly answering all bis
questions. So far as we can learn the gen

county are proceeding with their work in
a very satisfactory manner, ami will no
doubt send in complete and correct returns.

[quite an extensive building of the kind,
and we learn from an eye witness that the

Dear Sirs .'ln a reeeßt issue of your
paper, you say, "Rev. R. Crittenden and
family are visiting their friend* in Mon
troe." It is true that Mrs. C. is at Mon
trose enjoying a much needed rest, visiting
a sister in failing health. It i* also true
that Mr. C., without claiming or deserv
ing any credit for it, is quite busily oc
cupied in Sunday-school work. For the
sake of my friends who so nobly and sub
stantially sustain me, will you be kind
enough to say, in your next issue, that I
am not visiting friends or resting, but
working and hoping to accomplish some
thing for the welfare of my fellowmen

DEAR EDITOR* DEMOCRAT: Hince leav
ing Bellefonte I have seen many thing*
new and novel to myself, and liall take
pleasure in describing them to you. The
principal station* between Bellefonte and
Tyrone are so familiar that no additional
interest will he attached to them. The
feminine names of .Julian, Martha, Ma
tilda and Hannah have heen brought into
requisition to designate them until at
length, quite appropriately, a Vail close*
the Bald Kugle Division from sight and
sound, and brings the thriving town of
Tyrone into view. At that place a half
dozen or more persons whose faces and
forms are familiar in Bellefonte can usual
ly he found, waiting to enter their respec
tive trains. The present instance revealed
the judicial countenance of His Honor
Judge Charles A. Mayer, surmounted as
usual by that elegant silk hat which he
poises on his head with so much grace.
What a brilliant presence as well as judi
cial talent is lost to the Btate because he
failed to receive the nomination for Su
preme Judge ! Court Iteporter Keher was
also on his way home from his duties in
the Clearfield court. Mr. R. A. Kobb's
tall physiognomy was also observable. He
was corning from—somewhere—to Belle- |
fontc.
In about five minutes the train bound
from Tyrone to Pittsburg came steaming
into the depot, and soon went rolling out
hearing with it at least one additional
hundred pounds of avoirdupois. Altoona
is the first place of importance which ap
pears in view, and here those persons who
have been long on the route partake of
breakfast. The Logan ' House is an old
fashioned, hut a large, commodious, home
like hotel, and if the breakfast is as excel
lent in quantity and quality as the hotel
is handsome in appearance, the passengers
are most abundantly regaled. The most
noticeable object is the innumerable num
ber of railroads which intersect one anoth
er at this place, and as the puffing engines
roll back and forth the scene is one of in
tense activity. So many j>er*on* have
been injured or killed by passing trains
that every possible precaution is taken to
ensure the safely of travelers. The scenes
around the Altoona depot increase th#
already half-formed impression that Al
toona is the progressive city of Pennsyl
vania.
The beautiful panoramas which meet the
eye at every inile of the Pittsburg division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad have been
the theme of many paragraphs and often
formed the subject for the artist's pen and
pencil. The prettiest of these are within a
short distance of Altoona. Three engines
are required to pull the train up the steep
ascent to the Horse Shoe Bend, and so
abrupt are the curves in the road that the
three engine* were frequently in sight of
the car windows. Allegheny Tunnel, at
Gallitzin, a short distance further on is
another not altogether pleasant novelty to
the traveler. It is said to IK* three hundred
feet beneath the earth and one mile in
length. Instantly thecars enter into great
darkness, and for the first time it is noticed
that the lamps within the cars have been
lighted. All the car windows must lie
closed r the interior of the cars will he
filler! with smoke and gas. As it is, the
passengers emerged from the darkness in
convulsions of coughing. Further, on is
the village of Treason, a delightful resort,
which was, I believe, the rendri cow* of the
Juniata Valley Printers' Association last
annual picnic. Passengers now look long
and earnestly at the receding mountain
scenery, as it will soon pass from view.
The few languid streams on the route
grow black and the sky is obscured in
smoke as the train pulls into Pittsburg.
After a twenty minutes' dinner in the
Smoky City, a change of cars is made for
the West The Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and
Chicago road is the one to which I en
trusted myself. This train was to continue
on all nighi, yet, strange to say, no sleep
ing coaches were attached. The cars were
homely and dingy and in every way in
ferior to those from which I had just
alighted. The back* of the seats, especial
ly, were so low that a Ull peraon would
almost break his hack if be leaned against
them. Tbe western outskirts of Pittsburg
contain many fine residence* situated on
high bluffs which are visible from the
passing trains. The further I entered into
Ohio the more advanced vegetation seemed
to become, and the green changed to a
deeper hue. But with it disappeared the
romantic hills and tha landscape changed
to a monotonous level. After taking sup
per at Alliance darkness settled down over
the country, and the train dashed on
through Ohio and Indiana.
Tbo disagreeable characteristics of the
route increased. The cool of night pen*-
trated the cars. Deep pool* of water lay
over the broad stretches of country. From
them the weeds spring up in lavish luxuri
ance. Bright flowers, cold and blue, bloom
nmong the weeds, reflecting tbe chill of
the deep depth. I shivered at I gated into
the weedy brake, and did not wonder that
ague is the great enemy of these who In
habit tba towns and villages of Indiann.
The swamps of Indiana are haunted by
a gloomy spectre. A well-known com
roercinl traveler who did not believe in
spirits was once traversing this route and
had an opportunity to prove tbe existence
of this demon by actual experience. Two
gentlemen who were traveling with him
Udd him of the Bwnmp Demon, which
drew forth a laugh of derision from thr;
commercial gentleman. Hut be volunteer
ed to atop with them for one night and, if
possible, interview the Demon. At the
first convenient atation the three genth.
men left the car*. When the twilight
gathered the commercial gentleman hired
a horse and buggy and rode forth on hi*
miaaion. Although the chill wu* penetral
ing, he rode three mi lea without encount
ering anything U|*erriatural, and exult
ingly turned to ride back and make sport
of hit companion*, thorougly convineed
that the Swamp Demon wa* a myth.
Ju*t then a hla#t of wind *wept over the
