Centre JPraocrat. Thursday Morning, November 18,1880. CoasisroxncNra, containing Important n<'Ws,ollclt <>d from ouy part of the county. No communications inserted unless accompanied by the real nanis of the writer. Local Department. —Court begins next Monday. —Clothing for men and boys at the Philadelphia Branch. —Business has I icon very lively in tho coal trade this week. —More lovely than tho brightest stars Are Harry Green's choicest cigars. —Men's and boys' clothing at reduced prices at the Philadelphia Branch. —lt has become an axium that Harry Green's cigars excel all others. —A large number of people in this place aro atilicted with diphtheria. —The new church at Logansvillo, Sugar Valley, will be dedicated next Sunday. —A new iron fence has been placed around Mr. George Valentines' residence. —Merchants will soon be stocking their stores with beautiful articles for Christmas girts. —A small sum of money will purchase a serviceable, genteel suit at the Philadelphia Branch. —Delays are dangerous in diseases of tho kidneys. Day's Kidney Pad is tho sure cure. —Tho Philadelphia Branch clothing store shows great enterprizo and deserves to prosper. —The pavement on tho Spring street side of Mrs. BrockerhotTs residence is being repaired. —Defy the cold weather of winter by procuring a warm, comfortable suit at tho Philadelphia Branch. —The window casements in Mr. E. C. Humes' handsome bank building are re ceiving an application of paint. —The real estate advertised in the "Sheriffs Sales" will be disposed of at the Court Houso at one o'clock p. M., on Sat urday next. —On Tuesday morning last, a little girl named Minnie Fusser was bitten by a dog owned by Mr. Isaac Guggenheimer, how seriously we have not heard. —lf tho result of your suit in court next week is not to your satisfaction, you can probably procure a suit that will please you at the Philadelphia Branch. —All the members of the borough cor.n cil seemed to be either ill or out of town last Monday night and consequently there was no meeting of that august body. —The drama is to be represented in this place again quite soon in that ever popular play—half tragedy, half comedy— "Uncle Tom's Cabin," with variations. —Wo had another glimpse of Indian summer yesterday.— Daily A'eics. Wont you please impart to us the secret of her abiding place so that wo can enjoy a glance at her, too. —The exterior of the residence of Adam Hoy, Esq., on High street, has received several applications of fresh white paint during the past week. Messrs. Fasig & Son were the artists. —lt is a great pity that some of the Re publicans who are at present boiling over with rage and indignation about the Morey letter had not thought of making "forgery in politics" odious in 1876. —We hear that a large barn located in Ferguson township was destroyed by fire last week, with all iu contents, involving a loss of fouror five hundred dollars. We have not learned the name of the owner of the barn. —Communion services of an exceedingly solemn and elevating character formed a part of the religious exercises in the Pres byterian church la9t Sunday, the presence and exertions of Rev. Dr. Erskine, who assisted Rev. Laurie, giving to them an unusual interest. —One way of becoming wealthy is to get on the back of a mule—you soon find out that you are better off. A surer way is to purchase groceries of Scchler & Co. Every purchase saves you a few cents, which soon amounts to a large sum. —That beautiful and exceedingly orna mental structure known as the Presby terian "Wigwam'' has be.en receiving re pairs this week, such as new shingles on the roof and very tight-fitting blinds on the windows. Mr. John Waggoner was the contractor. —The repairs on the Presbyterian church are not yet completed and workmen are ■till engaged at the main towor. As it is feared that moro of the stones may fall at any moment it will be strengthened with solid masonry and rendered perfectly se cure. —The new barn now being erected on the farm of our townsman Mr. Samuel Van Tries, was raised by the contractor, Mr. J. 8. Frederick, on Thursday the 4tb instant, over one hundred people assem bling to witness tbe event. The new barn is 98x46 feet. Commissioner Swab is the occupant of the farm. —The dairy interest of the United States is a rapidly growing one and tbe annual production of butter and cheese amounts to $360,000,000. Is it any won der, then, that farmers are becoming rich? They all can live on the best the land af fords, and what they cannot raise on their farms can be procured at 8. A. Braw & & Son'a grocery store. Those who have not yet patronized Brew's store should do #o immediately. —For a very long timo an effort has been put forth by our citizens to socuro the presence of Kov. Dr. Vincent in this place to deliver one of his exceedingly entertain ing lectures to n Bellefonto audience. When a formor invitation was extended to the Doctor to visit llollefonte ho happened to bo just starting on a European tour, and consequently could not come. It is with great pleasure, therefore, that we are at length permitted to announce that the Doctor will ho in this place on Thursday, the lGth prox. Thus tho desire of tlioso who are proclaiming so loudly for a course of popular lectures will he in a measure satisfied, for if tho experiment with Doctor Vincont is successful he will bo followed by others equally eminent. Doctor Vin cent is so widely known that it is unneces sary to refer to him at length, 110 is universally acknowledged to bo tho most eminent Sabbath-school worker in tho world, and ho is almost equally conspicuous as a platform lecturer, his most famous lecture being untitled "That BoyofOur's." To secure such a superior lecturer involves great expense, and tho enterprizo can only be made pecuniarily successful by receiving a very generous support from our citizens. Tho price of admission will be tifty cents. —We have thus far refrained from doing so, but wo suppose our readers will expect us to observe, in unison with about all our other exchanges, that tho beloved globe upon which we reside is now crossing the track of the November meteors. We were not in existence in tho year of our Lord 1833, but the fame of tho meteoric shower which occurred in November of that year has created in us an intense desire to see a repetition of tho brilliant spectacle. The subject of meteors is one of tho most mys terious and interesting upon which the heavenly science of astronomy treats. Yet exactly what a meteor may be is not very clearly defined in our mind. But, impelled by a strong desire, we stationed ourselves at our chamber window on the night of tho 12th instant (tho timo speci fied for the most brilliant exhibition) and with uplifted eyo scanned the dark blue sky, anxious to seo a meteor dart athwart its broad expanse of starry blue. But the chill of night came on, the hour grew late and no meteors wero visible. Recollecting that the year 1899 is, after all, the time appointed for a real repetition of tho dis play of 1833, and that bad colds are more frequent than meteors in these "offyears," we gave up the unsuccessful task of look ing for meteors, and will not repeat the experiment until November 1899. Our stock in all tho meteors that will appear in the intervening years has fallen far below par. —Tho members of the Young Men's Christian Association, of this place, desire us to offer in their behalf another request to tho benevolent people of our town for a fresh supply of magazines and papers with which to stock their reading room. Those who know of a periodical of an elevated moral tone which they consider suitable to place before the boys who frequent the reading room will confer a favor hy send ing a six months' subscription to the Asso ciation. There are also many people who have an accumulation of old magazines and papers stored away in their garrets, which are of little or no interest to them, but which would be devoured with avidity by tho intellectually famished lads who may be found in the reading room. Send anything, from those publications contain ing philosophical or scientific disquisitions to the daily or weekly newspaper, or the child's paper or alphabet chart. A pre ponderance of primary literature is desira ble, as those who come to the room are principally of a juvenile character. The reading room was of much benefit last year; it is the desire of the Association to make it even more successful during this winter. —lt is with infinite pleasure wo learn that the large and commodious apartment in Bush's Arcade, formerly occupied hy the Hancock Club, will continue to be de voted to a good and useful object. The Baptist congregation, of this place, have leased it for church purposes, and hence forth their services will be held in that room. The change from the old M. E. church to their present place of worship is necessitated by a desire to reduce expen ses and pay a debt now resting heavily upon tho congregation. Their efforts in this direction should bo encouraged by all Christian people, and they have been peculiarly fortunate in their first step in securing a room which has been heretofore dovoted to so commendablo an object as the election of the soldier-statesman Han cock. —This seems to be the time for annual re unions of those who have survived the horrors of war. We notice three distinct re-unions of this kind that have been ap pointed. Tbo first—that of tho 49th Regi ment, Pennsylvania Volunteers takes place to-day at Lewistown ; the 63d Regi ment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, will meet next Thursday at Huntingdon, and the 131 st Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, will assemble on Monday, tho 13th prox imo, at Hunbury. All will doubtless be pleasant gatherings. —Bush'* LI all will be the scene or another bell next Thursday—Thanksgiv. ing eve—to be given by en organisation called the '•Social Four." Music will be furnished by Mr. Smith's orchestra. The occasion will doubtless be very pleasant, and it will repay those who love the mar.y dance to attend. PERSONALS.— Major Wolf and family have removed from Bnow .Shoe to Philips burg. —Judge John 11. Orvi* presided over tho Huntingdon county court last week, in place of Judge Dean who was prevented by illnossin his family front doing so. —Messrs. Clint. Lindsay, of Houtzdale, and Harry Williams, of Philipsburg, spent Sunday last in town. —Rev. J. F. Del.ong, of this place, was summoned away from town last week to attend the funeral of his father. He re turned from his sail errand on Friday evening. —Friends have been visiting at the resi dence of Mrs. John Lieb, in this place, during the past week. They departed on Tuesday evening. —Rev. Keller, of Hoalsburg, has taken charge of tho Centre Hall Grammar school. —Mr. Amos Mullen and lady now occu py the largo stone residence near Valen tines' forge recently vacated by Mr. George Valentine. —Of tho work accomplished by tho eight pitchers in tho League, Ward, of the Providence team, leads in having the best average of earned runs—that is, the small est percentage of earned runs against his pitching.— l'h Hade I/ih i a Record. Of course, tho Ward to whom tho Record alludes is Mr. Monte Ward, of this place. Lieutenant James A. Ley den, U. S. A., has been visiting in town for the past week. Ilis present military location is in Nebraska with the Department of the Platte, and he is now at home on his first vacation, Miss Lizzie Campbell, who is teaching school in .Snow Shoe, spent last Sunday at her homo in this place. —Mr. Charles Bauer, ex-Professor of Penmanship in the public schools of this place and in the Hellefonte Academy, and who has been spending the fall months in Dußois, Clearfield county, is in town, in tending to remain for some time. Mr. George Potter was in town last week, visiting at the residence of his brother, .Mr. James Potter. —Generul James A. Hri-hin has written a new book, which J. B. Lippincott A Co. now have in press. It bears the economic title of "The Beef Bonanza, or How to Get Rich on the Plains. Mr. N. S. Sanders, of Howard town ship, who has heretofore been a Republi can voter, having cast bis vote at the late election for Hancock and the Democratic ticket, desires us to state the fact that he did so in accordance with his own judg ment ol tlie best public interest. He has nothing to regret in doing so, only that all his Republican friends could not take the same measure of public duty. If he can again have the privilege of voting for Gen Hancock he will certainly embrace the opportunity with the highest pleasure. Mr. A. W. Hayes, of Washington, father of Mrs. J. W. Gephart, of this place, is visiting in town. —Mr. William K. Wallace, son of Sen ator Wallace, whoso marriage to Miss Ilattie A eakley was recorded in our lnt issue, arrived at his home in Clearfield with his wife on Tuesday evening, where a bril liant reception was tendered them at the residence of .Senntor Wallace. On their journey home they spent Monday night at the LogHn House in Altoona. where many of their acquaintances tailed to see them. Mrs. Holliday, of this plaee, who has been visiting in Philadelphia for alajut three months, returned liotno on Tuesday. DEATH'S RECORD. —Mrs. Kate B. Mus ser died at her home in .Smith county, Kansas, on the 26th of October, aged 22 years. She was born at Pine Grove Mills in this county, and at tho early age of twelve years la-came a member of the church. About one year ago she was married and removed with her husband to Kansas. She was much beloved and her death will be sincerely condoled. Mrs. Sarah K. Graham, wife of Mr. William H. Graham, of Port Matilda, died on Sunday, October 31, aged about 32 years. She had been ill for a few months of consumption, and at last became its vic tim. —Mr. William Erhard, one of the prominent citizens of Spring Mills, this county, died quite suddenly of heart dis easo on Sunday last. On Friday ho was enjoying his usual health, and tho only premonition he had of the sad event was a slight indisposition on Saturday. He was a very respectable man and leavos a wife and children to mourn his loss. —Miss May Chancy, theyoungest daugh ter of Mr. Alexander Chancy, of tho firm of Channy A Thomson, at Port Matilda, died on Saturday, the 6th instant, of diph theria. One week before her death she was a merry, light-hearted school girl; now she is a corpse. The sad event is a great grief to all her friends. —Tho Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad, says the Williamsport Gaxettcand Bulletin, was opened on Monday, tho Bth, and will be operated by the Pennsylvania railroad company as a part of the Tyrone division. Tho following are the several stations thereon, and their respective distances from Tyrone: Weston's Mills, 1.7 miles; Pen nington, 6.1 miles; Warriorsmork, 7.4 milea ; Furnace Road, 10.4 miles ; Maren go, 13.8 miles; Hosier, 16.0 mile*; Penn sylvania Furnace, 16.0 mile*. There will be two passenger trains each way dally. —Attend the meetings In the Y. M. C. A. rooms held every evening during the remainder at this week at half-past seven o'clock. —A* will l>e een by the notice publiihed in thia issuo by Wilbur F. Render, Esq., Secretary of the Hoard of Trustees of tho M. E. church, the old church property be longing to that denomination on upper High utrcet will be ottered tor nale on Fri day of next week at 2 o'clock l'. M. Wo know that many of the member* of the M. K. church will part with this old build ing with regret, not on account of its fi nancial value, but because of the tender associations connected with it. Many of them love to resort there oven yet, for it was there they were first brought to know the true God and there they best love to worship Him. Hut it is to be sold on Friday of next week ; we hope it may not fall into unconsecrated hands. —lt has usually been considered neces sary for people who go hunting any kind of game to take something along with them with which to kill tho game. Most people who indulge in this kind of sport prefer guns, but Al. German and W. A. Swetny think a club is sufficient. They got them selves up in blue shirts and flowing neck ties und took the early morning train recently for Unionvillc for the purpose of I hunting English hare—which Mr. Sweeny cluims abound all over this section of the country —and after they had comfortably seated themselves in the car, and were eagerly discussing the prospects of carry ing death and destruction to English hares, they discovered that they had forgotten their guns. They hud a pleasant ride to I'nionville and admired the country very much. —An exceedingly pleasant matrimonial event occurred at tho Episcopal church at 7} o'clock last evening, it being the nuptial ceremony of Mr. E. Grecnougb, of Sunbury, and Mies Hewitt, sister of Kev. John Hewitt, the accomplished rector of the Episcopal church, this place. The Episcopal rectory has been filled with guests during this week who came to wit ness the ceremony. Mr. Greenough is a gentlemanly-looking young man, who doubtless merits the treasure he is secur ing. Miss Hewitt has resided with her brother in this place only a few months, during which she has won the unreserved esteem of her acquaintances. The young couple have our kindest wishes for* their future welfare. —They carry their nuptial rejoicings a little bit too far in our neighboring county of Miftlin.

It* price ha* been reduced to $2.60 per annum, or 6 cent* a number. A* I have placed all my mean* in the reorganized entcrpri*e, and propose to de vote all my time to it, I have no hesitation in asking my personal and political friend* to give me the benefit of their prompt and active co-operaiion. AVhen we recollect that over 76,000 vote* were cast for Gen eral Hancock in the city of Philadelphia alone, on tho 2d of November, and in Pennsylvania 400,(XX), and in the country at largo about five million of vote*, there ought to be a ready and liberal response to the scheme of an Independent Democratic weekly paper of the highest claw in Phil ad el phi a. The hour of Democratic defeat, procured by open purchase of the suffrage, and by deliberate intimidation of the dependent citiaen, should also be the hour of Demo cralic education and preparation for the great work of organisation and action, in the present and the future.
