MONTGOMERY A Co. —The action of Bcllefontc's burgess in closing the hotel and saloon bars during and after the parade on Wodnesday even ing was either a pitiable exhibition of partisanship or else the burgees has little comprehension of bis municipal duties. As the head of tho commonalty of Belle fonte he repre-ent* all her citizens and not tho members of the political party with which he acts. The lives and property of Democrats arc as dear to thorn as they can be to their Republican fellow citizens, and are certainly entitled to equal protection from the authorities. On Tuesday even ing, while thousands of enthusiastic Demo crats were upon tho streets, tho burgess did not deem it necessary to institute pre cautionary measures to prevent disturb ances of the peace, and thanks to the order loving disposition of those who topk part in the great Hancock demonstration, such measures wera not needed, but on Wednes day evening when his own party friends were expected In force tho bead of our municipal government threw himself into the breach and issued his ukase closing the bars with all t\je pomp and circumstance which accompanies the edicts of the Lord Mayor of London. As a result the bars were closed and bis Republican friends were kept comparatively sober. We in dulge in these few remarks merely for tho purpose of (tailing the burgese' attention to the fact that he is not the officer of a party but of the whole people. —We have jut received the largest stock of fall and winter woollens, and we are constantly making tuiU to order at lower prices than can be got anywhere in Central Pennsylvania, We defy compe tition in anything in our line. .

THE POET BURRS. —A lecture entitled "The Poet Burns; the lesson of Ills Life and the Influence of Uls Song," will be | delivered in Ilumea' Hall this evening at 8 j o'clock. The lecturer is the Rev. Dr. John Moffat, the gentleman who spoke so elo quently on the subject ol temperance in the j Court House on Sunday evening. Dr. j Moffat is a native of the country in which the poet was born and in which be sang ' hi* sweet songs, and is therefore well fitted to understand the poet and the divine sen timents that fnspirod bis poems. The lec turo is highly spoken of by many who have j heard it, among whom may be mentioned | the Rev. Joel Swartz, of the Lutheran ! church, llarrisburg; Rev. K. R. Reeber, | of tho Presbyterian church, Danville, and Rev. J. 11. Brooks, of the Presbyterian j church, Susquehanna. An admission foe j of twenty-five cents will be charged. —lt was our intention not to say any thing about the personal rencounters, grow ing out of an excited state of political feel ing, which occurred In our town last week. We should have continued In that deter mination but for the unffiir and unjust version of the collision in front of the Brockerhoff House, which the Belle fonlo Republican laid before its readers, evidently for the purpose of forestall ing public opinion and making a little political capital for the Republican party in this community. We know nothing about the story In regard to Mr. Smith, and unleas there was good foundation for it are very sorry that a charge so deroga tory to him should have been circulated by any one. It may be true that "b* imme diately set out to hunt the originator of the charge and vindicate himself," but it I* certainly not true that either his manner or bis language when be met the "Demo crats" indicated that he was in their pres ence for "a peaceable settlement," as the Republican alleges. He was laboring under great excitement, used foul language and was the first to make an assault, and ii he got nioro than be bargained for be has only bimaelf to blame for the outcome While upon this matter, it may be proper to say that the Republican waa not so anxious to write up the particulars of the affair opposite the Bush Houae, on Satur day, perhaps because the treacherous assault behind made by a large man upon a small one afforded no material that would cut to political advantage. Of this ren counter neither the Re/mblican or Its daily echo, the Morning Mew*, has had a word to say. We deprecate scenes of personal violence as much as any one. They only engender bad blood between persons who should be at peace with each other, and we sincerely trust that throughout the remain der of the present political contest there may be entire immunity from them In our town and neigh borboed. —lt will pay you to call at one* and leave your order for a fine or medium suit of clothes.

JOHN ECEEXROTH.— The subject of the above title expired at his home In Pleasant Gap on Saturday morning, August 21. His death was a sad event both to hi* immediate family and to his Urge circle of friends. Hi* widow is an aged and very estimable lady and the removal of her best earthly friend in her declining years is a severe affliction. Sev eral children also live to mourn his loss, among whom are Charles, Jeremiah and Henry, all good cltlxens and the latter a justice of the peace. As acitisen and a* a member of the Lutheran church—of wbieh he was a devoted adherent—his death creates a vacancy which cannot be filled. His age was 66 years. The funeral took place on the following Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. —Company B, Bellefonte Fencibles, met on Tuesday night for drill and appeared on our streets for the first time in their new uniforqas.

Monitor Mam Mooting In tho Conrt IIOUHO on lait Mntnrday Evening. Hon. A. O. Ourtln'n Masterly lie ply to Woodford. HI'f.MHKH HY A. HOY, T. V. IIII'PI.E ANO WM. I'. KUBKY. If there existed tho slightest doubt a* to tho earnestness and -enthusiasm of Centre county Democrat* in than campaign, it wan effectually dissipated by the two grand meeting* of la*t week. The demonstration on Tuesday evening, Augut 24, wit ac knowledged by all to have been one of the gran dent political display* eve* witne**ed in thi* icction of the Htate. It wai not neeewary for DemocraU to oar into the realm* of fancy in ipeaking of their meet ing. Tho cold, hard, uncomproniiiing fact* were enough to fully juntify their most extravagant ebullition* of praine in alluding to It. To render that demopstra tion the magnificent success it wai, took much time and labor. Therein lie* the difference between it and the meeting in the Court lloutc on the Saturday evening following. Without any effort and with no intention of making it more than a town meeting, the simple announcement that ex-Gov. C'urtin would reply on that evening to District Attorney Woodford'* Bcllefonte speeches had the effect of bring ing to the Court liou*e an immcnic crowd, from all part* of the county that filled it* vaat (pace* to suffocation In fifteen minute* after the door* opened. Kven standing room wa* out of tho question ar.d hue dred* were turned away unable to even get near the door*. The aisles, window* and auditorum were one vast *ea of teething humanity. The Hancock Legion in their hand*ome uniform and with brilliant torche* made a *hort street parade and then repaired to the Court room, when the meeting wa* called to order by Chairman Spangler, who named Adam Hoy, E.q., a* chairman. Mr. Hoy upon assuming hi* dutie* made a short, ringing speech which wa* loudly applauded. He made *omc telling point* on the local Ilepub liran leader* and ridiculed their ottcnU tiou* and phari*aical claim of |>olitical morality. During hi* remark* Gov. Cur tin entered the room when tho scene* of the previou* Tuesday evening were repeat, ed with even greater vehemence than before. Cheer upon cheer rent the air, the va*t crowd ri*ing to their feet and giving way to the wilde*t enthu*ia*rn. There would be a lull and then the cheers would break forth again and again until from sheer exhaustion they were compelled Jto silence. Mr. Hoy concluded his spech and intro duced T. C. Hippie, Esq., of the Clinton county bar, who made a witty and elo quent speech whicb held ttie close attention of the audience for three-quarters of an hour. He was frequently interrupted by applause and hi* remark* were received with the liveliest evidence* of satisfaction. A* he took bis seat the imposing form and noble head of Gov. Curlin were visible just in front of the clerk * de#k. Thi* wa* the signal for a repetition of the wild enthusiasm which had greeted him on bi* entrance. The Governor wa* in splendid fighting trim and he proceeded to make what is universally pronounced one of the greatest speeches he ha* ever delivered. Old men who recollect him in the aenilh of hi* power* say he ha* made no *ucb effort for twenty year*. He took up Governor Woodford'* bloody ahirt harrangue and dissected it piecemeal. When he had most effectually disposed of the question of a •olid South, speaking of the marvelous growth and exceptional prosperity which had come to that section a* evidenced by lately taken census, he addressed him self to that particular portion of Wood ford's speech relating to the attitude of the Democratic party to the soldiers of the Union. This was the culminating point of his speech. \\ hen he spoke of the two hundred and seventy-five thousand men into whoae bands he himself had placed the national color*, as they went forth to win imperishable renown upon historic battle-fields, there occurred such a scene as was never before witnessed in that Court room. It simply beggared descrip tion. He next proceeded to an elaborate discussion of the tariff question, clearly demonstrating the position of Gen. Oar field, and fully and explicitly explaining the ftill scopo and meaning of the whole question. He proved from Garfield's speeches and votes in Congress that he wa* not in sympathy with the friends of American protection, and said when he wanted to find a champion of Pennsyl vania's Industrie* he would not look for him under the mantle of Joshua R. Did ding*. This portion of his remark* excited unusual interest from the fact that Gov. Curtin is himself largely interested In Centre county's Important iron industrial The Governor spoke for about an hour and a half with all the fire and vigor of his earlier deys, and hi* speech will never be forgotten by those who were for tunate enough to hear it W. P. Purey, Esq., of the Attoona Am, thon made a few remarks and this splendid meeting wa* ended. It was one of the finest and most enthusiastic ever held in this county. —The Centre county veterans' annual picnlo has been puiponed from Saturday, September 18, to Saturday, the 28th instant. Ihe veteran* and their friend* will please take notice. PIMOXAM.-MR. Thomas Reynold* ha* recently received a present of an exquisite ly life-like, full length portrait of hi* brother Col. Win.
