Unwelcome as the information may be, our death record would be incomplete without referring to the decease of Mr. Samuel Wilson, of Potter township, who expired on Saturday last at the advanced age of 90 years. Mr. Wilson was widely known, and many years ago was promi nently identified with the history of this county. So long ago as the trial of James Monks for murder, Mr. Wilson's name appears among those of the twelve jurors who convicted that notorious criminal. Several of his sons and daughters who survive him are respected residents of this county, among whom may be mentioned Mrs Joseph Crotzer, at whose residence, near Centre Hall, her father died, and Mrs. Hahn, who resides at Milesburg. —A few days ago it was our pleasure to feast our eyes if not our stomachs by look ing at a collection of potatoes which would rejoice the heart of any farmer. They were then in the possession of Capt. W. W. Potter, the kind and obliging station agent at this placa, who called us in to see them. Eight of the largest were selected and tipped the scales at sixteen pounds— an average of two pounds a piece. One of them would be sufficient for a single meal in a family of ordinary appetites. These huge snd lovely specimens of tho esculent root tre of the Irish Blood variety snd were grown by Mr. John T. Fowler, on his Greenwood farm, in Bald Eagle Val ley. They demonstrate what can be done by the farmers of that section If they try. PERSONAL GOSSIP.— Mr. Spencer Ogdon departs for Philadelphia to-iuorrow morn ing. Girls, prepare to say farewell. ' —Hov.

Fifty persons in all were present, including his brother Michael and family, and his eight children with their families. The occasion was rendered doubly delight ful by tho affectionate and familiar greet ings of friend with friend, by appropriate gifts from the children to their honored sire, and by him to those gathered about him, and culminated by all gathering about the festive board, which was laden with a collation of those good things which a father's love for his children led him to provide, and which always taste so much better in the "old home" than in any other place on earth. After returning thanks to the Father of all for this happy ro-union, the Joyful company separated. —We have before incidentally alluded to the fact that Mr. D. P. Peters, the proprietor of the Bush House, has estab lished a restaurant in connection with his hotel, and on Tuesday we received a prac tical proof of its merits when a most tempting mid-day lunch of fried oysters and the accompanying side dishes found its way direct from that establishment to the table in our sanctum. This month is often called the saddest in tho year, because now the leaves begin to fade and fall and arc trampled like dead hopes beneath our feet; but, because it is the first that contains the magic "R," which gives the privilege of lifting the fat, luscious oyster from its liquid bed and sending it abroad to dolight the universal palate, it also possesses some claims to be considered the brightest of months. Therefore, we are glad, and everybody should rejoice that Mr. Peters has been so thoughtful and enterprising as to open a restaurant to which the most fastidious lady or gentleman can resort for a treat of these delicate bivalves or a doaen other edibles equally tempting. He intends to conduct his establishment in first-class style, which past experience abundantly enables him to do. His efforts should meet with hoarty encouragement.

JONATHAN MOYKK.— Wo wore inexpressibly pained to hoar of tbe sudden death of Dr. Jonathan Meyer, of Logansvllle, Clinton county, which sad event occurred early on Wednesday morn ing of last week, at Lock Haven. Dr. Meyer was a native of Miles township, Centro county, where bis brothers, tho venerable Henry, living at a very ad\%nc ed age, John and Reuben still reside. On reaching man's estate, and soon after com pleting hi* medical education, the Doctor settled in Sugar Valley, where he contin- i ued to livo during all his life, actively engaged in the duties of bit profession, j except during a term that he filled the office of prothonolary of Clinton county, j Ho ranked high as a physician, had greut ' experience as a practitioner, and filled u useful and beneficent place in the commun ity. In tbe early years of Doctor Meyer's professional life, Hugar Valley was sorely afflicted with an epidemic of typhoid fever, of a type so malignant that it baffled the skill of tho best physicians. Tbe disease was new to the section and for some time did not have a technical name, but was known and dreaded M* tbe Sugar Valley fever, i It would not yield to the heroic remedies , of those days; deatli was in almost every household and the period of its duration was full of sorrow, affliction and even terror to the inhabitants of the valley. It appeared that its ravage* could not tie stayed, and it was at this time, as we once heard the late Dr. Robert Vanvalzuh, of Spring Mills, (then a young physician practicing in Brush Valley with the yet well remembered Dr. Samuel Htrohecker,} remark that Dr. Mover, after much obser vation, thought and study, wa* in advance of them all in concluding that a new method of treating the disease mut be adopted. He made the change, was soon rewarded with gratifying results, and his mode of treatment was afterwards sub *tuntially followed by his fellow prarti- J tioners. We thought at tbe time we heard j this statement that it was high corn -1 mendation for one physician to bestow u;>on another, and it lias been vividly re called to our mind by Dr. Mover's death. On tho day preceding his sudden end he went to Lock Haven for the purpose of attending to a business affair and also to i be present at the Democratic meeting of : that evening. It wo* our pleasure to meet j him that afternoon and to receive from | him an old time friendly greeting. He j called during the afternoon to pay hit re | sjiects to Gov. Curtin, for whom he enter tained a sincere and ardent friendship, j After the first words of greeting he cn- I gaged in a conversation with the Governor, and a strange episode of the interview, taken in connection with the sad circum stance that followed so speedily, wa a short dissertation ho introduced on the longevity of man. He stated a* a fact, well established by scientific observa tion, that after reaching the years of manhood, the really dangerous period was between the age# of fifty and sixty ; that Hfter passing sixty years, unless called off by accident or some other unusual or vio lent cause, a man had a reasonable certain ty of life for ten or fifteen years longer 1 He spoke of this in a seeming tone of self congratulation at having safely passed his sixtieth year, and at the fair prospect of the year* that were still before him. But, alas, in a few fleeting hour*, while sitting in the court bouse, listening to the glowing eloquence of his honored friend, he was seized with the fatal attack that ended his earthly career. When discovered paralysis hod already ensued, and before tbe dawn of another day he wot in the cold embrace of death. Sad and startling I Dr. Moyer was about 64 year* of age. His funeral took place at on last Sabbath, and wa* largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends. Wo shall ever re member him as a genial, kind hearted and intelligent man. May he rest in peace. DEATH or AN ESTIMAHI.K LADT.— Mr*.
