Use Day's Kidney Pad. —The members of the Executive Com mittee of the Young Men's Christian As sociation are requested to meet in the As sociation audience room to-morrow even ing at 7J o'clock. —The thermometer marked 2\° at Mt. Washington on Wednesday of last week. This is a conclusive evidence that winter is approaching, and that this is the best month in the year to buy groceries at S- A. Brew & Son'a elegant grocery store. —Mr. B. F. Shaffer, of Nittany, has a pair of heavy draught horses and a small family driving horse which he desires to sell and advertizes them in these columns. Those interested should call on or corres pond with him and they will secure a bar gain. —Col. Jacob Ballade, former editor of the Williamsport Sun, has been succeeded in that position by Mr. 11. M. Wolf, Jr., who announces his intention to make that paper more thoroughly Democratic and able than ever before. May the Sun shine brightly under his guidance. —On Monday evening about 6 o'clock a kerosene lamp exploded in the rear end of Lyon <& Co's. store, and for a short time the flames threatened serious results. They were subdued, however, before the arrival of the fire company. Overcoats and othe r clothing were damaged to the amount of about $l6O. —lt is said that there were 70,000 men in the great Democratic torchlight proces sion in New York City last Thursday night. Verily, this is an age in which people do not intend to hide their lights under a bushel, and, therefore, all the people of Centre county buy their groce ries of Sechler & Co. —The Inman steamer, City of Rich, mond, containing Madame Ktelka Gerster. "the ayren-voiced queen of the opera," left London on Friday and will arrive at New York in a few days. We hope the noble ship will bear ber precious form in safety to our shores. Meanwhile, people can buy their groceries of Sechler A Co., as of yore. —Mitchell Cunningham, a young son of Mr. Mert Cunningham, of this place, received a forcible reminder of the attrac tion of gravitation on Monday morning when a heavy bar of pig iron fell from a car which he was unloading, upon his right foot. It was an unfortunate accident, and its effects will be felt for some time. —Williamsport rejoices in the possession of a new Democratic hebdomadal news paper called the I/yeoming Chronicle, and edited by that veteran Democratic jour nalist, Col. Levi L. Tate. It is creditable in appearance and strong in Democratic sentiment, and will doubtless receive the encouraging success that has greeted the Colonel's former efforts in the same direc tion. —Mr. Falkcn B. Williams, of Julian Furnace, Huston township, died at bin home at that placo last Friday morning, of dropsy of the heart. Mr. Williams was a prominent citi/.en and a highly respected gentleman. During tho rebel lion ho sorved his country bravely as a member of Company A, 45th Hogiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, lie was only 83 years of ago and leaves a widow and 11 vo children to mourn his decease. Tho death of ono so brave and good, in tho years of early manhood, and tho anguish of tho desolato widow and children must draw forth tho deepest sympathy. Mr. Williams was interred at Martha Furnace, on Sunday, ltov. J. A. Woodcock officiat ing at tho funeral ceremony. A delegation of Gregg Post, No. 05, of this place, and tho tJnionville drum corps were present, and tho Post ceremony was performed over his grave. —Among tho numerous specimens of superior painting and paper hanging foupd in many of tho principal buildings of this county none approach nearer perfection than that which now adorns the laboratory at State College. To beautify this apartment, where professors and students must neces sarily pass so large a portion of their time, tho best services of tho chief artists have boon called into requisition. Tho wood work has been exquisitely finished in dark walnut graining, and lino paper of an at tractive pattern has been placed on the walls. Tho excellence of this work is due to Mr. James Houser, of Pleasant Gap, to whose skill it was entrusted, and all simi lar work submitted to him receives his careful attention. —Excursion tickets to and from this place wilt be sold during the continuance of the fair, as appears by tho following letter: Wilbur F. Feeder, E.v/., Bellefonte, I'a. Dkak Sir : Yours of the 'J4ih in regard to the Centre county lair is received. We will sell excursion tickets to Bellefonte on October its destination what a change came over the faco of nuture. As if ashamed of its gloomy aspect in the presence of tho sun ny smiles of the picnicers, tho clouds with drew Hnd Old Sol beamed forth in all his glory. Tho cool chill changed to a warm glow. Never did a more perfect day for a picnic succeed such an unpleasant morning* For several days previous the good peo ple of t'oionville had been vieing with one another to do their utmost to make the occasion, so far as they were concerned, a glorious success. Beautiful arches of spruce and hunting spanned the streets, residences were tastefully and elaborately decorated with flags and evergreens, and, a* will afterwards appear, extensive preparations were made to feed those who should come unprovided. Thus, a scene of great beau ty and activity greeted tho eyes of those who alighted from the train at Unionville, and as they mingled with the throng* who had assembled from all portions of the county, there was a concourse of fieople, which in numbers, animation and gayety ha* rarely if ever been equalled in the an nals of Centre county picnics. The military and musical organizations formed in procession and took up a line of mnrrh beneath the beautiful arche* and along the gaily ornamented thoroughfares. Their course lay through Allegheny street to Union, thence to Chestnut street, and then to McK wen's lieautiful grove. "With in this cool and shady retreat were more evidences of tho extreme care and fore sight displayed by tho people of Unionville. All underbrush and stone* had been hauled away, long tables erected and a grand stand constructed for tho accomodation of the speakers. When all had assembled, Rev. J. A. Woodcock, of Milesburg, spoke the words of welcome to the veterans and their friends in behalf of tho people of Unionville, but it needed not formal words to tell what the ample preparations around thorn so fully attested. Col. D. 8. Keller, tho .Secretary of the Club, responded in a feeling manner. For tho purpose of orga nization, Colonel Keller nominated Dr. G. F. Harris for presiding officer, and a prayer was offered by Rev. H. Lundy, of Snow Hhoc. President Harris appointed a committee of nino on place of next meet ing, with Col. Andrew Gregg chairman, and a similar committee on officers for the ensuing year, of which Lieut. John W. Stewart was chairman. After the roll of voterans was called recess was announced until 2 o'clock r. M. The people separated from the speaker's stand and hastened in all directions. Lunch baskets and boxes were produced and soon the ground was dotted with snowy table, cloths. Then came bread and bhcuits, celery and coldmeats, jellies and marma lades, pie# and cake* and perhaps bottles of sweet cream and cold coffee—nothing stronger. Around these young isdics and gentlemen, old folks and children grouped themselves in genuine picturesque picnio attitudes, and the content* of the table cloth* quickly vanished—not by magic— but in that manner which all who have ever been blessed with a picnio appetite so well understand. Whet if a few of those crawling inhabitant* of the trees overhead did fall down and mingle with the delicious viands beneath, they 'were all partaken of with equal relish. And now the utility of the long table* to which we have alluded became apparent. Upon them the kind ladies of Unionville heaped the rich treas ure of cookery which must have cost them days of labor, and when the tables were laden with all they would contain, bade those not otherwise provided for to gather around and partake. None could resist so earnest an invitation. With full stomachs and happy hearts the people once more drew near to tbe grand stand. The Zion scd Pleasant Gap bands discoursed dolightful music. The committee on next mooting named .Spring 1 Mills, and the committee on offlcor* woro of opinion that the present efficient list of officers should he retained. Treasurer Curtin submitted his finuricial report. All the reports were adopted. After being regaled with music by the Fine Hall Band, speeches were in order. Ex-Governor Curtin led off with one of his touching and graceful tributes to the nation's heroes, which are always filled with so much earnestness and ardor on such occasions lie was succeeded by the following gentle men in five-minute talks: Jlev. W. A. liidge, of Eaglevillo j JJ. F. Portnny, Esq., Major H. H. Porster and Col. I). H. Hast ings, of this place, and Col. Jas. F. Wea ver, of Milcsburg. Capt. Austin Curtin moved that thanks be extended to the citizens of Unionville for their royal entertainment, to the several loeul com mittees for their untiring efforts, to the bands for their sweet music, and to the Bellefonte Fencibles for important services rendered, ("apt. John Hamilton seconded the motion and it was carried amid much enthusiasm. The exercises closed with the Benediction by Rev. J. A. Woodcock. As the hour was growing late the people now began to clamber into their vehicles and start on their dusty journey home. A largo number of persons who started to the picnic in private conveyances after they were assured that the day would be fine arrived only in time to turn about and go home again, so that a larger number | visited the picnic during tbe day than was at first estimated. After some delay, tbe special passenger coaches with their burden of human freight, departed from the pleas ant town where such a happy day had been passed, and depositing part of their contents at the stations on the route, drew into Bellefonte just as the sun retired for the night. The tired and dusty picnicers, as a rule, followed the sun's example. A "LOVE" or AN ENOINK — The firm of Gordon A Landis always submit the engines which they sell to a severe test before trusting them to the of the parties for whom they are intended, and during last week started a pretty little farm engine in operation. The senior mem ber of the firm remarked that from first to last the engine had given him more satis faction than any he ever had anything to do with (and that is speaking volumesi, j as at the first trial it started ofT with an ease and regularity quite wonderful. The sound of it* movement is soft and musical, and, apparently, might be stop[-d by it touch of the linger, and not until we know that it is ton-horse power do we realize its importance. A special feature HIK>UI the engine is that, owing to a new and inge nious arrangement attached to its safety I ; valve. It will never start in operation of ( itself, and is entirely safe in the hands of ; inexperienced parties. Its name is "Pax- | son," and it is intended for Mr. Philip Gephart, of Zion, to whom it will be both ornamental and useful. BUSINESS AT THE " BKE HIVE. — As may be seen by reference to our adver. j ligaments, the firm of Bauland A Newman i announce their grand fall opening. The members of the 11 rm have been spending a long lime in the large cities selecting ' goods and are confident that no establish- 1 merit in this town contains a stock so complete in all its departments. It in- \ eludes dry goods, carpets, notions, yarns, boot# and shoes, Ac. In another room is an elegant assortment of men's furnishing goods, and especial attention wilt lie given to custom-made clothing. Those who call early, of course, secure the best bargains. —On Tuesday evening last a handsome flag was presented by the Republican ladies of this place to the organization known as the Garfield Guards. The affair was a feeblo imitation of a meeting held in the Court House a few weeks ago when the Democratic ladies presented a banner to the Hancock In. H war l Ip , George Miller, Gregg. I'.

It is not often the pleasure of the writer to listen to a speech made by a stump speaker of either party, wherein t|,,. speaker's enthusiusrn does not run j.,,i with his argument and good sen e, fcr ,,j thereby frequently fails to make a point which might be calculated to . date and more firmly establish the prii.H. plea he advocates, or refute and annihilate the doctrine of the opposition ; but the speech of Mr. Fortney, on this or< . 1M ; was one that the most bitter partisan ,j take no exceptions too. Jt was lu<.i well as terse, forcible s well as convi:. . ing. He [.Hid little utlentiorj to the a i,, of the Republican [.arty; but on tl,. other hand rather complimented momi,.r. of It by referring to the neat and glowd • tribute which one of the Jtepubli-an tor* of this county [.aid at the N .-t.-rar. - reunion ul Union ville, "to the la-ar. ! and prosperous condition of the wt country, ' by laying that all Repul were willing to admit off the stump, that there was no sectional strife, but that p.*"- and harmony prevailed; hut wh'-n-w they stepped out to make a polite si speech, all sectionalism must be revived the remembrances of the late war, wi. t. have been burled for fifteen years in the bosom of time, must be resurrected by digging up the graves of the late war and dragging therefrom the ghastly *s. ton of the rebellion for the j.urjs • of arousing sectional hatred and engenderir • bitter feelings against neighbors ami friends.
