Bellefonte," is the military-Biblical title
the Lock Haven Daily Journal gives to
our friend.
Mr. J. N. Van Ornier is ut present
deeply engaged in testing the merits of a
new invention of which ho hoard a few
days since.
—The ladies have to form a "co-opera
tive dress establishment,'' hut the gentle
men have their fondest hopes realized in
the Philadelphia Branch.

fact that Genuine Key West cigars, made
from Havana tobacco, are being sold at

nounced to be held in the hall in the Bush

of the Bush House in another column.
This hotel is first-class in every particular
and no one can make a mistake by hang- |
ing his hat up with Mr. Peters.
—A work by Susan Ii Anthony has

It was written B. C'. 20 and is dedicated to ;
Augustus Caoar. For sale by all druggists.
—The family of Mr. John Bhifflcr, of
Pleasant Gap, are greatly afflicted with
scarlet fever. Three of his children are

—"O, woodman spare that tree," can he
quite appropriately addressed to Mr. John

*of 4,000,000 feet of square and round tim
ber, which the first spring freshet will |

—The annual meeting of the Pennsylva
nia Board of Agriculture will be held at
Harrisburg, commencing Wednesday, Jan
uary 26. Farmers throughout the county
will find it to their interest to bear this
mattar in mind, and also remember to buy
their groceries of Hechler A Co., the model
grocer* of this place.
—Consult the advertisement of a "Farm j
for Sale," on another page. Tho property
is located in Howard township, on the
north aide of the Bald Eagle creek, and is
described as beautiful for location and fer- I
tile in soil. It will make a pleasant home
for its purchaser. The owner desires to
sell, because he already possesses more
land than can be cultivated to the best ad
vantage.
We understand that the grand concert
recently given at Lemont wa* a brilliant
success, both artistically and financially.
Among the musicians were the best pro
fessional and amateur talent of .State (Hi
lege and this place. As the element* were
propitious and the sleighing unsurpassed,
the audience was large and enthusiastic
and the receipts about fifty dollars over
and above expense*.
—Ol every 100,000 people in this coun
try, tays a statistician, l'.,000 get up
crow in the morning. That proportion is
about correct, but the people in Centre
county who buy their groceries of 8. A.
Brew & Son are among the 81,000 who
don't get up cross in the morning. They
are always in a good humor, because the
pure groceries they purchase give them
perfect digestion and sound health.
—The editor of the Daily Newt is ex
tremely anxious to have Bob Hurdelte,
John B. Gough, Tilton, Talmage or some
other celebrity letcure in Bellefonte. Why
don't he give them a personal invitation to
come ? They will cheerfully respond for
a couple of hundred dollar* ey-h, and the
editor of an important Republican news
paper like the Nncn should be glad of the
opportunity to lose money in an enterprise
so beneficial to the "dear people." Other
people have tried it and den t raro to re
pt the experiment.
