Judge Hale bas received a new roof and
other improvements during the past week.
—Adam would never have made clothes
of flg leaves If the Philadelphia Branch
store had been located near the Garden of
Eden.
—Shakespeare had only 1600 words in
his vocabulary, and might truthfully have
used them all in praise of Harry Green's
cigars.
—The interior of Mrs. BrockerhofTs res
idence on the corner of Bishop and Spring
streets is being beautified with fresh appli
cations of paint.
—The Morning New* says the late Re.
publican procession was a half an hour in
passing a given point. True. The given
point was a lager beer saloon.
—The yard surrounding Mr. George
Valentine's new residence has been graded
and is now being covered with beautiful
soil, which gives a decidedly finished and
elegant appearance to the promises.
—We are Indebted to Joseph Baker,
Esq., of College township, for a basket of
elegant apples, presented to us last week.
We hope the Bquire realir.es how much
more blessed It is to give than to receive.
—An exchange remarks, "It does not
by any means follow that a woman who
hugs her preacher embraces Christianity."
But if the woman will buy her groceries of
Bechier & Co. she can save money and get
good nrtlcles.
PKRHONALH, —Mr. Demino Tomlinson,
son of Bev. Toinlinson, of Aaronsburg,
this county, passed through this place on
his return from the West, last Thursday.
Ho has been in Portland, Oregon, sinco
last January, and will probably return to
the West after the election.
—Mr. John Hayes, of Milllinburg,
Union county, accompanied by his wife

week as the guests of our excellent citizen,
I)r. Thomas K. Hayes.
—The report in the Philadelphia llrrord
that Gen. Beaver, of this place, was in
jured by the cars at Oloan, Now York
State, was incorrect. Ho was Providen
tially forced to forego delivering a few
Stalwart speeches by not making the prop
er connection on the cars, and that, we are
pleased to state, was the extent of the ac
cident. The General is well, and was in
town on Sunday.
—Mr. Jacob Mnnasscs, of this place,
departed on Tuesday for Philadelphia,
where ho and his family will hereafter

Mrs. Elizabeth Long, mother of Mrs.
Harry Teats, of this place, arrived in town

evening. She is almost 76 years of age,
and intends making her homo with Mrs.
Teats for some time to come. The aged
lady could not have selected a more pleas
ant place to pass the remainder of her
days, as Mrs. Teats is the queen of enter
tainers and will do hor utmost to render
her mother's visit perfectly agreeable, as
sho does for all who sojourn with her.
—Rev. John Hewitt, rector of the Epis
copal church, preached last Sunday even
ing from tho text, "We all do fade as a
leaf." From the leaf ho drew numerous
arguments in support of the doctrine of
the resurrection, and the touching sadness
of his remarks as he compared the decay
of tho leaf to the end of our own material
existence drew tears to many eyes.
—Hon. S. 11. Yocum and lady, of this
place, departed to New York on Monday
on the pleasant mission of witnessing the
marriage of Miss Louise Horton, a sister
of Mrs. Yocum.
—Mr. E. S. Garver, formerly a resident

N. Y., and Messrs. 11. 11. Fish, of Wil
liamsport, and A. C. Kemball, of Osceola,

Hotel over Sunday. They are nil largo,
handsome gentlemen, and attracted con
siderable attention when they appeared on
the street.
—ln our report of the Centre county
fair, last week, we stated that the hand
painted pin cushion which attracted so
much attention among tho exhibits in the
Home Department was the work of Miss
Elizabeth Humes. AA'e have since loarned,
however, that the artist who placed it on
exhibition is Miss Emily Harris, daughter
of Mr. John P. Harris, of Linn
street, who deserves much praise for the
beautiful manner in which it was executed.
—Mr. J. 11. Myers, the former genial
proprietor of the Bush House, but who
has recently been residing on Linn street,
is now engaged in business at Norristown,
and removed his family to that place this
week. Ho was born and reared in this
community and is deeply attached to Cen
tre county and her people. No other place
will ever seem like home to him, and he I
promises to return as soon as he can form
a lucrative business engagement in our
midst. We regret to hear of his departure.
—Mrs. Sourbeck, of Pittsburg, mother
of our Assistant Burgess, is visiting her
friends in this place, and will remain until
January.
—D. W. Holt, Philipsburg's enterpris
ing lumberman, bas received the contract
to furnish the white pine sawed bill lumber
for the new elevator to he built at Locust
Point, Baltimore, for the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. This contract
exceeds 1,000,000 feet of lumber and is to
be completed by the fifteenth of December
next.
—Messrs. AY. 11. AVilkinson and Harry
A'alenline, of this place, indulged in a
glass ball shooting contest on the Fair
ground, last Thursday afternoon, and tho
result shows that they have attained re
' maskable skill. Three scores were shot,
r the first two of ten balls each and the third
of six balls. Mr. Wilkinson made a clear
string in every score, and Mr. Valentine
1 missed but one ball in the third score.
The fortunate gentlemen challenge any
parties in Centre county to a trial of skill.
—Mrs. Thomas Reynolds and Mrs. AV.
11. AVilkinson, of this place, havo each
' been suffering a long period of illness.
—Monte AVard, of this place, who is one
of the most skillful base ball pitchers in

-1 mainder of the season. He was formerly
associated with the Providence club.
1 —A well known clergyman of Toledo,
I Ohio, says: "I commenced to wear a
I Day's Kidney Pad after my Doctor told
me 1 could not get well, and within two
, months I had completely recovered."

CniMKs ruoM - rn E WKDDINU BELLS.—
On Tuesday afternoon at half-pant two <
o'clock a very happy event occurred at the i
residence of Mrs. Mary Moran, on Alle
gheny street, it being the wedding of Mr <
\V. E. Hnrchtield, the register of this
county, and the fair mistress of the man
sion. The ceremony was performed by
ltov. William Laurie, pastor of the Prea
byteriun church, in the presence of the
immediate relatives of the contracting
parties. The groom was a widower, and
is one of the most popular gentlemen in
the county. The bride wus a widow, and
is highly educated and fascinating. Thus
it was quite natural that this similarity of
circumstances should produce a responsive
chord of sympathy ami affection, and that
tho gentle "divinity which shapes our
ends" should bring them together in a
loving union of hearts und hands. The
afternoon train conveyed them on a brief
wedding tour. They have our best wishes
for tho future.
—Tho residence of Mrs. Sarah Boak, of
Pino (ilen, was the scene of a pleasant
gathering on Thursday morning of last
week, tho occasion being tho marriage of
her daughter, Miss Anna, to .Mr. C. S.
Weakly, of Harrisburg. Kev. 11. M.
Ash, of Huntingdon, officiated. A few
invited guests were present and the occa
sion throughout was exceedingly pleasant.
Tho happy couple were the recipients of
many valuable and beautiful gifts. They
departed on the evening train for Phila
delphia, accompanied by Mr. T. O. Boak
and Mrs. 11. E. Yarnell, friends of tho
bride and groom. The young couple have
our best wishes.
—Mr. .Monroe Tobias, of Mackeyville,
Clinton county, and Miss Elgio Leathers
of Mount Eagle, this county, were united
in inarriago on Wednesday of last week.
The ceremony took place at the residence
of the bride's parents, in the presence of
eighty-four invited guests, Kev. N. J.
Mitchell being tho officiating clergyman.
After the nuptials were consummated an
elegant collation was spread. The happy j
pair received some very valuable presents. ;
We wish them much joy.
TIIK TOMII. —It becomes our duty, this j
week, to record tho death of Mr. Daniel ;
Mussor, an old and respected citi/.en of
Harris township. He died at bis home in
Boalsburg last Friday, leaving a wife and
several children. The funeral services j
over hi* remains took place on Monday.
—Wo learn with pain of the death, last
Friday, of the infant son of Samuel and
Mnrilla Dawson, of this place. He wa a
bright and promising little fellow, only |
seven months old, but a merciful Father j
has seen tit to removo from the "evil to
come." The funeral took place on Sunday
morning.
—Kev. A. G. Deininger, who for many
years resided in this county, died at his i
home in East Berlin, Adam* county, on |
Wednesday, September '29, aged 85 years. I
He was born in Beinstein, nenr Waiblin- |
gen, in the Kingdom of Wurtemburg, j
but removed to this country at an early ;
I
age, settling in this county and marrying
Mis# Susan Phoebe Brown of Aaronsburg.
He entered the ministry of tho Lutheran j
church, and, 11 fly-one years ago, received j
a call from the East Berlin charge, where
he remained until the time of hi* death. '
Fivo separate congregations—numbering 1
in all fourteen hundred member*—are now
located within the boundaries of hi* origi- j
nal charge, largely tho fruit# of hi* indi
vidual effort*. All who knew him deeply
regret hi* death.
MKKTINO or Cot'JJCIL. —Last Monday
night the Street Committee of Council
were empowered to receive bid* for im
proving the bridge aeros tho rare on Lamb j
street and also for widening tho bridge i
crossing tho race on High street, but Coun- j
cii reserved tho right to reject all bids at |
it# pleasuro. In the opinion of good judge*
the outlay of money to effect these im
provement# will amount to hundreds of
dollars.
The borough affairs have been managed
morn economically this year than last as
will be evident by tho following summary
embracing tho expense# from April 6,
1880, to October 18,1880: Water depart
ment last year during the above period
cost $1,651.06; this year, $1,802. Street
department, last year, cost $1,680 06; this
year, $1,881.08. Fire and Police depart
ment, last year, $863.44 ; this year, $868.61.
Expense* of Finance department, last year,
$311.48; this year, $178.28. The Market
and Nuisance Committees, last year, spent
$18.41; this year, $16.16. Total, last year,
$f,32.*>.84; this year, $3,680.07.
—The stately Presbyterian church edi
fice, which has recently been undergoing
extensive repairs, is now again about ready
for tho reception of the congregation.
Those in control of the affairs of tho
church deemed it advisable to repair the
present structure rather than to rebuild,
and, accordingly, the open space in the rear
of the choir has been filled in with a solid
wall of masonry, and other necessary
changes made. The building is now con
sidered (at least, by many who are abund
antly competent to judge) as entirely safe.
This week the chandeliers have been low
ered, which will have the effect of render
ing the interior illumination much more
brilliant than was formerly tho case. It Is
oxpccted that the flrst services will be held
in the church noxt Sunday,
—ln dry goods, dress goods, shoes and
ladies' millinery, we can show you the
largest and best stock in the county.

A PROFITABLE DEMOCRATIC MKKTINO
ON TUESDAY KVKNlNO. —Previous to the
meeting in tho Democratic club room of
this place, last Tuesday night, the Han
cock Legion made a very beautiful street
parade. Tho severe cold and the fulling
rain deterred the usual number from join
ing in the procession and prevented them I
from pursuing an extended route, but all
competent Judges who had the good fortune
to witness tho parade acknowledge it to
have been one of tho most elegant specta
cles which has been seen during tho pres
ent campaign. Under the disci].line of
Captain Snyder tho Legion lias become
more proficient, if possible, than ever iri
tho manual of arms. Their beautiful lamps
were carried at an exact height forming a
continuous and unbroken line of fire, an
accomplishment which apparently hud not
been thought of by the clubs which par
ticipated in the Kepublican parade of last
Friday night. The route of parade ex
tended from the club room to Spring
street, thence to Bishop street, along Bish
op to Allegheny, along Allegheny to High,
and thence to the club room. After gath
ering in the club room, tho Legion, and
many others who had met with them, were
entertained by a stirring ami able speech
from the lip* of that eloquent orutor, Ira
C. Mitchell, Esq., of Lock Haven. His
remarks wero so exceptionally strong and
hrilliunt that we would gladly present our
readers with a retinue of them if our space
would permit. It was conceded by all I
present—and the club room was literally
packed—that Mr. Mitchell's speech was \
one of the ablest presentations of the
Democratic cause heard in Bellefonte dur
ing this campaign, and the effect upon his
auditors was most salutary and inspiring.
After the conclusion of Mr. Mitchell's
speech un interesting ceremony took place
—that of presenting a handsome Hag to
the Legion, the gift of the junior young
ladies of Bellefonte. D. F. Fortnev, Esq.,
made the presentation speech in his usual j
able manner, and it was received by W'.
| F. Keber, Esq., in u few very appropriate !
; remarks. All the proceedings of Tuesday
i evening were exceedingly satisfactory, arid
i show that the Democrats in this vicinity j
I are quite certain of a National victory on
Tuesday week.
—The Green hackers of Centre county
met in convention at the Bush House, Belle,
fonte, one day last week, and placed in
j nomination the following ticket:
Assembly —Leonard Bhone and J. Miles
Green.
District Attorney —Aaron Williams.
County Surveyor —Samuel T. Gray.
| George Alexander, Jacob Harlet and
Jacob V. Thomas were appointed Con
gressional conferees and Jacob V. Thomas
was relected chairman of the County
Committee. It will be noticed by refer
ence to the letter of Mr. Aaron Williams
I < lscwhero in the DEMOCRAT that hi# name
. was used for tho office of District Attorney
j without hi* knowledge or consent, and he
j respectfully declines the honor of the nom
j ination conferred upon him. Mr. Wil
liams is a sound Democrat and wo# never in
any way identified with the Greenbackers
and they should not have made use of hi*
I name in connection with their nomina-
j lion*.
i —Mr. D. I*. Peters, the popular propri
etor of the Bush House, i* personal
! friend of General George B. McClellan,
end in common with all the people of
Centre county, has been exceedingly anx
ious to have him come to Bellefonte. Mr.
Peters wrote the great warrior and distin
: guished statesman, inviting him to come
here and say to our voters that his brother
soldier, Hancock, should be elected Presi
dent of the Cnited States. The following
is General McClellan't letter to Mr. Peters:
TRKNTON, N. J., October 10, 1K0.
Dear Sir: Governor McClellan desires
me to say in answer to your very polite
invitation that he finds it impossible to
visit Bellefonte as his time is all taken up
with engagement* previously made from
now until Nov. 1 He thanks you roost
kindly for the invitation and expresses the
hope that his old and esteemed friend, Gov.
Curtin, will be returned to Congress from
your district by a very large majority.
Your* very truly,
JNO. A. HALL for
GKO. B. MOCLKI.I.A*.
—The most busy and animating scene in f
our town at present is at the site* of the J
new Reformed church, now under process 1
of erection on the corner of'Linu and >
Lamb street*. A dozen or more men are j
at work, most of whom are stone masons |
brought from a distance for this especial |
purpose, and are a very pleasant looking '
body of men. "Click, click, click," goes i
the hammer on the stone, and a# the fine i
fragments are sent Hying in every direc- '
tion, the stone under the workman's hand* ]
is gradually brought into the required i
shape to fit into the place for which it is '
designed. The men all work with com- '
mendable industry and the edifice may ]
soon be expected to become one of the (
fairest ornaments of Linn street.
—When you come to Bellefonte call at ,
Lyon & Co.'* and see the largest and finest '
stock of overcoats that can be found out- 1
side of Philadelphia. We have them at ]
$2.76 and $3.76. We have hrown beaver i
overcoat* at $6.26 .nd $<1.60. You can't 1
beat them anywhere else at $7.60 and SB.
We have the finest blue and black beaver
overcoats. We have a roversible overcoat,
two sides to wear out, or two coate in one.
We have the best chinchilla overcoats at

$lO. We can show you over SI,OOO worth
of overcoat*. " Lion A Co.

—The DEMOCRAT of last week alluded
to the vile slander published against Eman
uel Noll in the Morning Aries. The New H
of last Thursday morning contains the
following letters in refutation of tho
charge, and it is but justice to Mr. Noll
that they should be read by every one :
0 MILEHIIURO, PA., Oct. 12, 1880.
To the editor of the Morning Sews :
Your article of this morning, entitled
"A Model Hancock Veteran," does rue an
injustice which 1 urn loth to believe is
intentional. At this late day it is scarcely
necessary to acquaint the public with the
fact that serious and gross injustice was
done many soldiers of the iatc war by the
heedlessness of officers in marking as de
serters men who had become separated
from their commands by circumstances
wholly beyond their control.
The absence for which I was so reported
was caused by the giving out of my horse
on a forced cavalry march from Petersburg
to North Carolina and by my own sick
ness, brought about by my own exertions
to keep up with my command, on foot,
alter my horse had given out.
The charge of desertion was removed by
competent authority, after u full and care
ful investigation of the whole case, and I
received an honorable discharge—facts
which any inan, solicitous about my mili
tary record, can easily satisfy himself of.
Taking it for granted you will be glad to
correct the false impression* your article
may have given rise, I subscribe myself,
EMANUEL NOLL,
Late of Co. "C," 21st Cav'y.
P. S.— I never served in the 22d Cav
alry.
I). 8. Keller, Esq., supplements Mr.
Noll's letter with the following:
BELLEFONTE, PA., Oct. 12, 18W)
Editor Newt: The article referred to bv j
Noll certainly does hiui an injustice. It is
true, to my |>ersonul knowledge, that the
charge of desertion was removed by com
petent authority, and an honorable dis
charge granted Mr. Noll; and no one!
conversant with the strictness of the re- j
quireinents at military headquarters will
doubt that before this was done Mr. Noll
had to make out a clear case of blameless
ness.
I, myself, have seen the order removing
tho charge of desertion and the certificate
of honorable discharge granted Mr. Noll
arid I eannot but deprecate any disposition
to attack the record of soldiers, either |
orally or through the press, in this reck
less way.
Careful inquiry will satisfy any fair
minded person that it is not safe to predi
cate a charge of desertion on "Bates' j
Record," a work which, though excellent
in many respect#, is full of errors because j
completed from rolls themselves defective, j
Yours truly, I>. S. KELLER.
—The following charming stanzas upon j
"Indian .Summer" are certainly appropri- j
ate now. Anonymous though they are, j
it was surely a true poet's fancy and an :
artist's creative faculty that put them on

—What is the matter with our Kepub- 1
lican friends in Howard ? It appears that j
their exultation over the October election j
has had the effect of bringing out the j
latent spirit of intolerance which so natu
rally belongs to latter day Republicanism.
When the Democrats wished to fasten a
flag rope upon the building in which John
Stitzer lives, ho threatened to move out of
the house, and appealed to that pure,
spotless and very agreeable Republican j
patriot, John G. Love, is to whether he
was not justified, as his i love's) tenant, in
assuming that sort of an attitude. The
other day B. F. Iloltcr, another of How
ard's liberal Republican citizens, was asked
whether he would allow a bill, giving no
tice of a Democratic meeting, to be posted i
upon the door of hi* blacksmith shop. He
gave a ready and willing assent, and just
a* soon as it had been carefully put up, he
torn it down. This kind of conduct is to
be expected from follower* of the De
Golyer candidate and is of course calcu
lated to improve the temper of Mr. Holler
and Mr. Stitzer's Democratic neighbor*.
(Communicated.)
FRIDAY, October 16, 1880.
Editor* Centre Democrat: It l>eing my
good fortune to cross the mountain inio
the vicinity of Madisonburg, Miles town
ship, I was informed by a friend that the
Hancock and English pole (broken on the
Saturday previous! would be again elevated.
I, in company with several other Demo
crats, wended my way to the place, and
found a much larger pole than the one
previously broken, and also a large num
ber of people assembled to witness the
operation. Mr. Simon Haze], a veteran
Democrat, gave the word of command and
up the pole went about five feot, when a
halt was ordered. At this point a large
and handsome flag was presented by the
ladies of the town and vicinity with the
request that it be suspended on the top of
the pole. It was accordingly placed in
position, and at the word of command the
pole was raised to its full height and se
curely fastened. Mr. Kills Mhaffer, the
captain of the Madisonburg Hancock and
Kngliah Club, proposed three cheers for
Hancock and Knglish and the entire Dem
ocratic ticket, which were given with a
vim and enthusiasm unmistakable in their
significance. Three rousing cheers were
then given for Mr. Georgv Shaffer, who
had donated theground upon which the pole
stands, and the thanks ot all present were
tendered to the ladies for the beautiful
National emblem just received from them.
I noticed several venerable Hcnrv Clay
Whigs among the spectators who seemed
