If you have money prepare to spend it now. —Clothing for holiday presents should he purchased at tho Philadelphia Branch. —The students of Stato College are en joying a three weeks' vacation which began last week. —lt is better to smoke a cigar than to sinoko a lamp globe, especially the cigars sold by Harry Green. —Splendid mixtures 2-> cents per pound —formerly sold lor 40 cents—at Wilson's, Brockerhotl" House block. —Workmen are engaged repairing tho npartment recently injured hv lire in ex- Gov.

Leap year has al most departed and we have not yet receiv ed one proposal. Can it be that we are doomed to wait until 1884? —Mr. George Marks, of Gregg town ship, died quite suddenly on Sunday last of lung fevor. He was about sixty years of ago and ; very respectable man. —Vennor Vail not increase his reputation of a true wlather prophet unless he sends us some swhw very soon. Only three inches of th£t eleven feet of snow has yet appeared anjd that is almost gone. —Don't to stop at Wilson's, Broek erhoff Houjie block, lie has got just what you want/—a fancy box of candy or a ' beautiful'basket of fruit. Either would make an excellent Christmas present. —On dit that a young disciple of Coke and Blackstone has had a serious affair of the heart on hand for some time. Humor hath it that the affair is off, there being nothing but tho heart left to tell the tale. —The attractive contents of the show window in S. A. Brew & Son's store proved a temptation too powerful for somebody. On Sunday night in was brok en into and some of the confectionery taken. —This issue—No. 02—completes Vol. 2 of the DEMOCRAT. Our next issue will ap pear on Thursday, January 6, 1881. We wish our large and increasing number of readers a "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." —A special effort should be made to attend the lecture by Rev. I). K. Nesbit in : the Court House of this place next Tuesday evening. The subject, "Objections to In- fidelity," is important, and is said to he discussed in an able manner. No admis sion will be charged. —lt is announced that the sun will riso partially eclipsed on Friday morning, the 81st instant. The requisites for a proper observance of the celestial phenomena are an early toilet, a bit of smoked glass, a clear sky and a position commanding A view of tho eastern horizon. —The interior of the Episcopal church of this place is now being decorated with j evergreens in preparation for the Christmas morning service at lOj o'clock, at which an appropriate sermon will be delivered by the Rector. The service will close with the administration of the Holy Com munion. —The amusement loving public will be afforded an opportunity to witness the fine performance to he given by Baird's New Orleans Minstrels in Reynolds' Opera House next Tuesday, the 28th instant. Wo believe the company is quite excellent, and ai entertainments of the kind have been rare of late the audience will be cor respondingly large. The usual price of admission. —Mr. D. P. Peters, of the Bush House, desires it to be known that tho rumors in circulation as to the cause of his being taken to Moadville recently are grossly un true and do him great injustice. He says his arrest was simply an attempt at black mail and was dictated by the malice of a man whose hotel he occupied over a year ago. Mr. Peters says he does not owe any man in Meadvtlle one dollar and that this attempt of an old enemy to injure him will recoil upon the prosecutor when tho case is called for trial in February. Mr. Peters is a citizen of this country and hit good name is as dear to him as that of any other citizen and we take pleasuro in giving this taiement to our readers. —Sovcr&l ordinance* which emanated from council in years gono by, and have for lunic timo remained H dead letter, were revived last week. One of them—the nuisance ordinance—recites a number of articles which are forbidden to be thrown on the public streets, shavings and ashes being in the list. Now, thero is nothing inoro cleanly, buulthful, pure or beautiful than a new pine shaving as it rests, curled in most fantastic shape, upon the bosom of Mother Kurth. It is delicious in aroma and attractive to vision. Ashes—although not so sightly—make a smooth, hard road bed, are redolent with purifying properties and promote health. When stowed away in cellars, in barrels or against buildings they are dangerous, and have been known to retain heat so long as to ignite combus tible material after being deposited in this manner for many hours. If for the words "shavings" and "ashes" a clause forbid ding the trespass of the highway cow was substituted, a real nuisance would be reach ed, for she is a terror to nervous female pedestrians, a horror to farmers who may have any bay in their wagons when they visit town and a nuisance in mnny ways better imagined tliHn described. —The baker in the employ of Mr. J. 11. Sands is certainly a greut artist. Last week we were shown an ornament manu factured by hitn for a handsome cake, which is the most superb creation of tho kind we ever beheld. It consists of a cen tral stem from which proceeds spiral branches drooping in a regular and grace ful manner. In appearance it resembled an elaborate glass ornament such as can be produced only by professional glass blow ers, and when we know that it was really made of pure taffy and was tho work of tho baker at that establishment we can faintly understand the consummate art shown in its manufacture. Resting on this structure was what looked like a ball of silk cord as it glistened in the gas light, but this was also of taffy, fashioned by the same skillful hands. What a beauty that would he upon a well-spread table, tempting to the appetite, very pleasing to she sight, down our throats to tako its flight. —There was a time when we could get up big snow storms and reasonably cold 1 weather without any assistance from abroad. Now it seems that local weather is of no account, and if we wish to have a "spell" of it we must draw on the Anti podes. There appears to be an enterprising fellow up in Manitoba who is engaged in the manufacture of cold waves, tie is sending them out in relays and there is no telling when they will make their appear ance. Snow storms are bottled up in Canada and shipped in unknown quantities. There used t<> ho n faint Idea that the weather bureau wasn't located in either Canada or Manitoba, hut this must have been a mistake. We wonder whether Boh Ingersoll hadn't something to do with the change. —Daniel Kreamer, of I'enn township, in this county, has just passed his eighty eighth year Ho has been a Democrat hll his life and in consequence has enjoyed good health and the respect of his fellow citizens. He has eight children living whoso combined weights aggregate over 2000 pounds, Jacob Kreamer, John Krea mer, Willinm Kreamer, Jonathan Krea mer, (our old friend "Yohno"), I)Mnic| Kreamer, Eiias Kreamer, Henry Kreamer and Elizabeth Kreainer. This list is ar ranged in reference to their respective ages, and beginning with the eldest, ends with the baby. These children are all well advanced in life, and surely the aged father in the serenity of his old Hge can look over this brood and consider that his work in the world has been well done. May he live to vote for another Democratic candidate for President. —lt is currently reported—but wo only refer to it as one of those rumors thit are too good to bo true—that one-half inter est in the car works at tins place has been sold to Mr. Michael Schall, of the Empire car works, of York, I'M., who will imme diately fit them up and start them in ope ration to their fullest capacity. Mr. Schall is said to be a practical gentleman with extensive experience in this line of business. The busy hum of industry is a music which we never thought to hear again in our borough, and if this report is a reality, and not a delusion as all the others have been, a special thanksgiving day for Belle, fonte should be appointed. —Mrs. ScottHiddons says: "Boston and Philadelphia are the places where I have seen the greatest amount of beauty in a short time—especially in very young wo men." Fortunately for the girls in Boston and Philadelphia, however, Mrs. Hiddons never stood "a short time" in the entrance of Sochler & Co.'s store and looked at the "very young women" passing in that store and returning with packages under their arms, or she would have given a different opinion. Mrs. George Wells, of this place, died last Friday after a long illness, and was buried on Monday. She and her children were the occupants of the house on Logan street which was destroyed by fire two weeks ago. Since that unfortunate event she has been residing with her sister, Mrs. Fred Bmith, on Bishop street, until her stay on earth was terminated by her de cease at the time above mentioned. —lt m tha winter wild, Whlls ths liran!>orii child All meanly wr*|>! In llie rods manger llm. Nature lu aws to Him Has doffed her gaudy trim, With ber great Master so to sympathise. —(Mitton. PKRSONAI.. —Mr. George Brew has re turned from his western tour nfter a pro longed absence. —Tho Dailt/ AVtos says that Al. Dale "had lite misfortune to freeze one of his feet" white hunting last week. Now, we urc inclined to think that the cold weather did it, as Al. would never knowingly per form such a disagreeable feat as that. —Signer l'hilippi arrived in town the other day nfter an absence of considerable duration. —Prothonotary Cal. Harper received his Christmas present last Sunday. It is a sweet little boy, and Cal. is now one of the proudest lathers in Bellefonte. —We noticed our kind friend, Mr. Samuel K. Faust, of Miles township, pass ing through our streets, on Tuesday morn ing, witli a lot of splendid new sleighs of his own manufacture. Sum. is un enter prising mechanic and generally finds a deniHtid for the excellent products of his establishment. —We had tho pleasuro of meeting a number of Miles township friends in Bellefonte last urid also a few front the sarno locality this week. Among those whom wo saw la-t week were Simon M. Spangler and his good wife and Jeremiah Brumgard. This week wo met Esquire Haines, Thomas K. Royer and Charles Bierly. Spangler, Royer and Bierly were honored members of Company A, of the 148 th regiment, and with them wo could revive old recollections of the time we served together "at the front." Mr. David L. Kerr and wife, of Cen tre Hill, passed through Bellefonte one day last week on their way to the West. They are visiting friends in Will county, Illinois, and expect to be absent until the Hr-t of February. We wish them a pleas ant trip and a safe return home. —Mis* Ella Rhone, the accomplished daughter of Dr. J. W. Rhone, who IIHS been attending school at I.uthcraburg, Md., is spending her vacation at home. She re turned from school on Saturday last. —There is much that is mysterious and witching in the closing hours of an annual | cycle of time. Then the elf* of mirth and good nature b- i<- forth and drive dull care away. For this reason tho Logan Hose Company hold their annual hall on New Year's eve. It is the time they know the music will be gayest, youthful spirit* light est, Htid the dance most fascinating. Their hall appointed for the appronching New Year's eve Friday evening, the 31st inst.) will he fully equal to any of its predeces sors, and that is speaking volumes. Most of the young folks of the town will be present and ring the rounds of tho dance to the music of adelighful orchestra, while the year I*Bo passe* into historv and the advent of youthful 1881 marks another period in the progress of this wondorfu world. MHJ. .NY. A. S. Taylor, of Norfolk, Ya.—who will he recalled by numerous friends in Bellefonte as a most genial and accomplished gentleman recentlv sent Mr. \\ . R. Teller, of the BrockerhofT House, a barrel of the finest oysters that have been seen here this season. Mr. Teller made tho occasion of the tapping of the "imrT' very pleasant for many of his friends, by bidding them be present to see the redoubtable Maj. Spiller skillfully open the delicious bivalves and gracefully pass them to the invited guests. The host was kind, the "Majah" wa urbane and the oyster* were sirnplv superb, while Mr. Taylor was so kindly s|iken of between oysters that we think he ought to come hack. —The annual statement of the borough auditors lias been given to the public and as usual contain" many evidence* of mu nicipal extravagance and mismanagement. There nre many items open to more than eriti LAW. —The following de cision was mado in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recently, and its admonition will apply especially to this locality. Except at crossings, where the public have the right ol way, a man who steps his foot upon a railroad track does so at his peril. The company has not only the right of way, hut it is exclusive at all times and for all purposes. It also ought to b" equally well under stood that parents who permit their chil dren to trespass upon the track of a rail road arc guiity of negligence. It is not only gross but culpable negligence, as it imperils the lives of the children so tres passing, as also the lives of tho traveling public. PROFIT A IILK PATIKNT*. —The most won derful and marvelous success in cases where |e>rsons are sick or wasting away from a condition of miterahleneM, that no one knows what ails them, (profitable pa tients for doctors,) is obtained by the use of Hop Hitters. They begin to cure from the first dose and keep it up until perfect health and strength is restored. Whoever is afflicted in this way need not suffer when they can get Hop Bitters. Cincinnati Star- A CHRISTMAS VISITOR.— Bright and early on Saturday morning our carrier dove, Mr. Israel Sternberg, will be at your doors offering for sale copies of his prettily bound Christmas poems and New Year's greetings. He has called on you every week dining the past year bringing with him a ray of sunshine which has relieved the tedium of many a long day. He should he met with a pleasant welcome and re ceive a generous price for hi* merry Christmas songs. —Wilbur Harris, son of M r. Henry Har ris, of Howard street, broke through the thin ice while skating on the mill dam, last Monday, and owes his rescue from a watery grave to the prompt exertions of his companion*. Mr. Cooper Dare ren dered himself the hero of the occasion by hi* presence of mind. Ha drew off hi* overcoat and extendi '! ine end of it to Wilbur. Retaining the other end, he drew his fish safely Upon firm ice. We are glad the adventure had such a fortu nate termination and hope Wilbur will not suffer from hi* unseasonable batb. —By far the most enjoyable ball of the season will he given to-morrow evening in Bush's Hall, by Mr. C. Hmilh, the popular baker in Hush's Arcade. Mr. Smith i* quite proficient in the art of catering to the entertainment of tha public, and will employ his best effort* in making the ball a social success. He ha* circulated Invita tions for the occasion, and those who at tend will find a cheerful welcome, and will spend the closing hours of Christmas eve and the opening hour* of Christmas morn ing in a very pleasant and merry manner —Buy your next new overcoat at tha Philadelphia Branch. REV. DR. YIHCENT'H YJ.IT AND THE KAiiHATH-rt< nooL CONTENTION.— The em inent gentleman whose riHme in rri*riticn*-'J in the above title arrived in Bellefonte last Thursday morning in response t en invite tion from the officer* of the Centre County Sabbath -school Association. The reverend gentleman i* actively concerned in Habbnth tchool Hll'airs, in President of the Chautau (jiia Literary and Scientific Circle, which has member* all over the country, and take* a prominent part in other benevolent I enterprise* of national reputation. 11 i visit proved to he ax enjoyable a wax ex pected.

The receipts were SBO, just sufficient to pay tins lecturer arid oth er incidental expense*. On Friday he was present at each res-ion of tin* Sjhhath school Convention, which wn held in the Presbyterian church of this place, taking an active part in all the proceedings of that gathering. The Friday evening ses sion of the Convention was attended by an immense audience, the attraction being I>r. Vincent's lecture on "Modern Sunday school Ideas." He departed on Saturday morning after a few farewell words to the Convention. About forty delegates from all parts of the county were present at the sessions of the Convention. Music, ren dered by a large choir of trained vocalists, was a pleasing feature of the exercise*. The occasion throughout was very satis factory. Centre Hall was selected for the next place of meeting.

Hereafter it will be an Inde pendent Democratic paper, retaining all its eclectic leaturee, discussing society, finance, the drama, railroads, and foreign affairs. Its price has been reduced to S2 60 per annum, or 5 cent* a number. As I have placed all my means in the reorganized enterprise, and propose to de vote all my time to it, I have no hesitation in asking my f>ereona! and political friends to give me the benefit of their prompt and active co-operation. When we recollect that over 76,000 votes were cast for Gen eral Hancock in the city of Philadelphia alone, on the 2d of November, and in Pennsylvania 400/00, and in the country at large about five million of votes, there ought to be a ready and liberal response to the scheme of an Independent Ib-mocratic weekly paper of the highest class in Phil aaelpbii. The hour of Democratic defeat, procured hV open purchase of the suffrage, , n d by deliberate intimidation of the deio-nden't citizen, should also lie the hour of Demo cratic education and preparation for the great work of organization and action, in the present and the future.
