Before the average na tive of Centre county lives to he an hun dred years old ho learn* that there are a good many fraud* in the world, but he can congratulate himself that the grocery tore of Seohler A Co. i* exactly what it is represented to be. The proprietor, by fair dealing, has built up an immense trade. —A very sad event occurred at Julian on Monday of last wi-ek in the death of Mis* E. Datighenbaugh, a daughter of Mr. Levi Datighenbaugh, of that place. She w* n victim of consumption. Her jour ney over the dark waters of the river of death was illuminated by the light of a constant faith in Jesus. Her earthly church connection wa with the Methodist Episcopal congregation of that place. The funeral service* were conducted by h?r pastor, Bev. J. B. King. Mr. D. I*. Peters, of the Bush House, desire* it to lie known that the statement in the Morning A'ews, of the 2d inst., that he intended raising hi* rate* of board is un true. On the contrary, Mr. Peters says he has made arrangements to so lower the dally and weekly rate* of hoard as to meet any and every demand. Ho It increasing the facilities of his hotel with this object in view. We are glad to know that Mr. Peter* appreciates thesituation. —The Mitlbeim German evening school will give a public entertainment in the Town Hall of that place an Saturday evening, the 12th instant. Tho programme, part of which will consist of declamations \ and dialogues rendered in High German and Pennsylvania Dutch, will afford an endless amount of mirthful entertainment for those who shall attend. We hope it will also be financially profitable. —A meeting of the Centre county bar was held last Monday to take action in regard to holding the sessions of L,o Su preme Court in Philadelphia. It was the prevailing opinion of those present, how ever, that all the sessions should be held at ilarrlsburg, and the association so voted. —We're sitting at the table, Mary, Where we sat long ago ; Ah, then your hair wis black ujet, Hut now it's light as tow I Wo're eating of those groceries, Mary, You bought at Hcchler's store; And when we've eaten them aH up We'll surely wish for more. —Men and boys wbo buy clothing at the Philadelphia Branch can dreae the bast on the least outlay of money. * PERSONAL.—Mr. David L.

Ho wa# iu town on Monday. —We hear that Mr. Andy Lonoberger, of this place, bus secured a position on a railroad running between Prospect Park and Coney I-IHIMI and expect* to leave Bellefonte soon to enter upon bis new duties. Mr. L. is a good workman and an excellent citizen, and iiis place in our midst will not easily be tilled. Mr. William Laurie, of Philipsburg, was one of the handsome young gentlemen whom wo observed in town this week. -It is said that Rev. J. F. Do Long, the leader of the Union Normal Class which meets in the Y. M. C. A rooms, succeeds in rendering that organization very interesting. "BibloGeography' wa the topic discussed la-l Monday night Mr. Kichard Gitrmari lias returned to Coatsvillo after a very pleasant visit at his \ home in thi# place, Mr. Al. iluupt spent .Sunday last in town. Miss Ada Weaver, one of llio very agreeable daughters of Mr George Wea ver, of this place, returned home a few •lay# ago after a prolonged visit at Philips burg. Mrs. Heath and daughter, of Philadel phia, who have been visiting for several week* at the residence of Mr. Isaac Mitch ell, of this place, returned home on Mon- j day last. J —.Mr. John G. Love, of this place, lias recently been entertaining his sisters, the j MUM Love, ot I. .veville. | —Mrs. A. <.

They were then in the enjoyment of go.>d health. We hope that safety and prosjierity will con- , tinuo to attend them during their three years residence in that dark and benighted land of which we a< yet know so little. We are pleased to note that our young and accomplished friend, Mr. J Be.-... ! Van Ortner, last week received a perina ' nent teacher's commission from the !>•■- ' ! partment of Education at Harrisburg. Reese stands high in the ranks of the j i lea. iiers of Centre county and is altogether 1 I worthy ol the compliment bestowed upon him. —Mr Ira Mitchell, of Lock Haven, expect* soon to engage in the editorial j business, having been tendered a prnposi j torn to edit a Greonbaek paper in Forest I county.

His legal education is very fine and his general knowledge a* compre hensive as that of any young gentleman of his age whom we have ever met. His cast of countenance i# purely intellectual, i very much resembling that of England's ex-Prime Minister Disraeli. We predict for the young gentleman the brilliant fu ture which hi# great moral worth eminent ly merit*. —Dr. E. J. Deshler, of Aaronsburg, j was one of the welcome visitor* at the DEMOCRAT office this week. —We regret exceedingly to learn that Mr. Robert Cambridge, of Untonvillc, is very ill with pneumonia. We hope he may soon be restored to good health. —Our old friend,.!. Wesley Pennington, of Philadelphia, dropped in upon u# yes terday and report# business as good, but the snow as something a little worse than he ever remembers Mr. Pennington rep resents the reliable boot and shoe house of David J. Hoar lb Co., and should be remembered by ail hi* old friends in Cen tre county. (Cesimanlcalmd j MESSRS. EDITORS —lt is understood that the gentlemen who have store-room* and houses in Beliefonte, contemplate making large advance* in the rent of their buildings consequent upon the early re sumption of operations at the car works. We think these gentlemen are making a great mistake. Kent* are now notoriously high with us, and this fact, taken in con nection with our onerous borough taxes, make* tba cost of living here excessive in the extreme. Gentlemen, this is not the way in which to insura permanent pros perity and business importance to your town. You must pursue a more liberal and generous policy or you may in the end have cause to bitterly regret your lack of .forethought. Col. D. O. Bush, Major W. P. Reynolds, Thomas P. Reynolds, the BrockerbofT Estate, and oihers, have done much for Bellefonte in the past, for which they are entitled to great credit. In a spirit of kindness permit me therefore to say that I hope they will do nothing now to lessen in any way those feeliog* of re spect and good will—inspired by their past liberality and enterprise—which are felt for them by their fellow townsmen. An indiscriminate raiting of rent* at the pres ent time will not fail to act injuriously upon every business interest of our town, and should not be thought of. CITIEEX.

The flames proceeded from the neat little frame building on High street, owned and occupied by Mr. J. I). Sourbeck as a con fectionery and fruit store. Both fire com panies were promptly on hand and the flames were quickly subdued. Part of the contents of the store wss removed, but so much of it was either broken or carried away that his loss on slock will reach $ lfiO, and hi* loas on the building will amount to about $35, all of which is fully Insured.
