A Card.
It having come to my knowledge that
the authorship of a communication in tho
Bellefonte Jtrpublican of the 14lh inst.,
from Miliheim in tiiis county, in which an
untrue account is given of the Democratic
ratification meeting Ht that place, on Sat
urday evening the 10th inst., is attributed
to nie, 1 take this public manner of brand
ing such statement as talse. Whoever is
responsible for the circulation of this silly
canard does me a gross injustice and is
indebted to his imagination for his alleged
tacts. J. N. VAN ORMKR.

DEATH OK ANOTHER VENERAHI.E CITI
ZEN OK TIIIH COUNT*.—ON Saturday,
.July the sable cloud of (loath cloned over
tho earthly life of Mr. Henry Wlttnor, no
aged citizen of Centre Hull. A* the poriod
of hin residence In thin county extended
over fifty years his death merit* more than
a passing notice. He wax a sun of Mr.
Peter Witiner, a farmer of Lebanon coun
ty, where on the 22d of July, 17H8, he first
saw the light of day. The youngest of
ten children, he lived to mourn tho death
of all his brother* and sisters, following the
last to the grave about two years ago.
Young Henry begun his battle with this
busy life in tho town of Lebanon, where
he learned the saddler trade. In 1828,
Henry—then a man of thirty years—
cutnu to Aaronxburg, this county, where
he opened a hotel and saddler shop. A
few years after this we find him living on
tho farm, near Auronsburg, now owned
by Mr. John H. Musser, hut he remained
there only a short time, when ho again re
sumed his occupation as landlord and sad
dler ut his old stand, adding theret'f a gen
eral country produce store. Soon he dis
continued the suddler business, and in the
year 18411 disposed of his hotel and store,
removing to new buildings erected by him
the previous year on the site where now
the thriving Village of Centre Hall is lo
cated. There he aguin became the pro
prietor of a hotel and store, and laid the
foundation of Centre Hall. After contin
uing in the store for six years and in the
hotel nine years, he disposed of both, and
retired from ail participation in business
affair*.
Although a man of cons.derablu activity
and energy, he experienced frequent at
tacks of illness. In September, 187, he
received a stroke of paralysis, from the
etlects of which, in connection with can
cer in hi* face, ho has been conlined to the
house for a considerable ftortion of tho in
tervening time. On the loth of last June
a second stroke of paralysis greatly added
to his infirmities, arid on tho 3d of July
death ended his sufferings.
That he was esteemed not only in secu
lur but also in religious affairs, it is only
necessary to add that for fourteen year* he
was an elder in the Reformed church. He
was 81 years, II months and 11 days old.

northern part of Michigan, and worked
with him a week, at the end of which
time he enticed him into a saloon to lake a
"social glass," when, at an unguarded

main track. A special train of about
forty coal ear* crashed into this at tho
time above mentioned with a tretnendou*
shock, throwing the entire train from the

Nome of the cars were thrown at least
twenty-five feet from the track, while tho
dr.hrin was scattered along the track for a
quarter of a mile. The engine wa* only
lightly injured, hut twenty-three of the
cars were demolished, while a few of them
were ground into kindling wood. Fortu
nately, none of the employe* were korious
ly hurt. The engineer jumped from the
track, while the firemen, Mr. Sam. Daw
son, of this place, stuck to his post like
grim death. Two brakemen received slight
injuries.
Many person* gathered ut the wreck on
.Saturday, viewing it* wonderful propor

loss of property was large, but there was a
fortunate c*cap from lo* of life.

Pi. i: AN A NT GAT. —According to previous
announcement, the lUqKiblicans met at
Hang Hall, on Saturday evening, for the
purpose of organizing a Garfield and Ar
thur Club. The friends of the party at the
Gap left nothing undone to create an im
pression on the community ; they had the
hail nicely decorated with portrait* Of
Garfield and Arthur, and when tbe hour
j for the meeting arrived all sat 1n waiting
, (or the crowd to gather. It would have
been a very small crowd hut for the timely
nrrival of two wngon load* of people from
' Valentines' works and Mann's axe factory.
This procession was led hy four shining
and talented lights of the party from Belle-
I fonte, viz : Rankin, Love, Furst and Gray,
i The Pleasant Gap band played some of
1 its choicest music, but the boy* all
i thought they were playing for a lost cause.
; Chairman Rankin called the house to order,
and the following officers were then elec
ted : President, Cameron Burnside ; Vice
i Presidents, William Bell and William
I Lovo ; Secretaries, Matthew Riddle and
i S. F. Heverly ; Treasurer, A. V, Miller,
j Being now duly orgamaad, speeches were
; next in order. That illustrious stalwart,
| John G. Love, Esq., first took the stand,
j stammered, coughed, cleared bis throat,
I and then pitched into the Demwcrats gen
erally. He said Hancock was a good man
and a good soldier, then be blew hi* noc
i on the blouJy ihirt and at down quite ex
hausted by hi* powerful effort. During
tho time occupied by the first speech, the
secretaries prepared a paper for the boy* to
ign which was something in the nature
of a pledge that would bind them to stick
to the ticket. Mr. Bell, one of the Vice
President*, then elbowed hi* way to the far
end of the room in search of R proper sub
ject to head the list and finally bit upon a
worthy citizen and brother of pure African
blood who was led to the front where ha
immediately signed hi* name to tbe pledge.
After tbia the whito brethren were given a
chance to sign and some forty or fifty
name* were placed upon the roll.
The house was again called to order and
Mr. Gray wa* introduced as the next
speaker. He made a desperate effort to
ay something that would calm the excited
feeling* of the boy* after they passed
through the ordeal of signing the pledge,
but alt to no avail—the great majority of
them slipping out of the room In search
of something more soothing than Gray
could give them. Gray wa* followed by
Mr. Fur*t, who spoke in rather a mild
manner, only abusing the Mouth and the
southern people. He also said Gen. Han
cock was a good soldier and if elected
would make a good President, but thought
It better for all Republicans to support the
Ohio mule driver, who wa* very poor—
even now after many year* of public ser
vice being worth only about twenty thou
sand dollars. The meeting then adjourned
to meet In two week*. T>g Goltmr. I
