the Temperanco Union of Bellefonte, last ;
Thursday evening, it was determined to
hold two meetings each month hereafter.
The next meeting of tho Union will be
held on Thursday evening, the 17th in
stant.
—lt is said the people of Pari* are jeal
ous of Sarah Bernhardt because she was
received with *0 much enthusiasm in
America. That may be true ; but as long
as the people of Centre county can pur
chase groceries at Sechlcr A Co. s store
they need not be jealous of anybody.
—About two week* ago Rev. J. Benson
Akers, the talented M. E. divine of Penn
Hall, roceived a donation visit from twen
ty or thirty members of bis congregation
They came bountifully laden with the
good things cf life, and the pastor's pantry
will be supplied for some time to come.
—Owing to ill management, or some
thing else, the Permanent Exhibition in
Philadelphia has proved a failure. The
permanent exhibition of everything that is
new, novel and attractive in the grocery
line, at Sechler A Co.'* store in this place,
ha* proved a grand success. Everybody
rashes to see them and usually carries
some away as mementoes of the occasion.
Messrs. Edward and Charles Brown,
of this place, are sorrowing over the death
of their brother William, which occurred
at Houtzdale on Saturday. Hi* remains
were brought to this piece on Monday,
and on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock the
sad and Imposing ceremony of High Mas*
was performed over the body at the Cath
olic church. We sympathize with his
numerous relative* and friends in their
affliction.
—The member* of the Presbyterian
church at Butler, Pa., of which Bev. W.
T. WylU I* pastor, held a congregational
meeting the beginning of this year and
paid off a debt of SB,OOO with which the
church was burdened. At the seme meet
ing a resolution was passed determining
never again to incur debt, as "it is dishon
oring to God and damaging to all the in
terests of His church, both temporal and
spiritual." Bev. Wylie was the former
pastor of the Bellefonte cbnrch.
Mr*. Hurri>, wife of the United
.States Consul t Vonice, has been #0 ill
that her life whs despaired of, and sho lib.
nearly lout her eyesight. Hho was very
prominent durinn the civil war, having
been secretary of the Ladies' Aid .Society
of Philadelphia, the ftrat aid locioty or
ganized,
The abovo we clip from the Philadelphia
Record. The Mr*. Harris referred lowa*
a Mis* Orbison, of Huntingdon county,
this State, and a sister of tho late Unv. .Mr.
Orbison, the respected husband of Mrs.
Nannie Orbison, of this place, but who is
now numbered with tho SHlnted dead.
She is the wife of tho learned and accom
plished l)r. John Harris, a native of this
place, and who, although a very aged
gentleman, is now serving tho Government
abroad as Consul at Venice. Mr. Harris
was a prominent physician and is an uncle
of our worthy townsman, Dr. George Har
ris. After Dr. .Ino. Harris and .Miss Orbi
son were married they resided in this
place, where tho former practiced his pro
fession with great success. Their friends
will look anxiously for a cablegram an
nouncing Mrs. Harris' recovery.
Mr-. Herman SSM, n sister of Mr.
Sam'l K Faust, of Miles twp.,died at her
home in Dubuque, lowa, on Friday morn
ing, January 11. The deceased, whose
maiden name was Mary Faust, was born
in this county on the 13th of January,
1838. She removed with her parents to
Dubuque thirty years ago. Being a lady
of strong constitution and robust physique,
her death, which was the result of a severe
cold settling into lung fever, was a gi.nt
shock to her many friends. The deceased
was much beloved for her devoted Chris
tian character and womanly qualities.
Her death was rendered more sad following
as it did so closely upon that of her moth- ;
er, which occurred on tho 30th of Novem- j
her last and was duly recorded in the ,
DEMOCRAT. We sympathise with our 1
friend, Mr. Faust, in his two-fold be
reavement.
—A thoughtful exchange remarks that j
"if Washington had only waited until this 1
winter he could have crossed the Delaware
on solid ice, and saved his soldiers a heap
of work. ' When we submit this memo
rable expedition of Washington's to a
critical examination there are numerous
objections that may he urged again-t it,
not tho least of which i that if he had
only thought to postpone it until the pres.
ent time lie might have purchased such a
superb collection of groceries of S. A.
Brew A Son, of this plaeo, that his soldiers j
would have regarded it more as a "grand
lark" than the serious and ha/.arduu* ad- I
venture it reaily was. But, it is not often
that grocery stores equal to that of S. A. j
Brew A Son can be found.
—The World KsnowneU Jubilee Singers |
1 colored 1, of this placet returned from their j
tour of the county last wreck highly elated
at their unexpected success. At Pino
(trove their receipts wero $32, and at
Boalsburg the hall was 10 thronged that
the people almost stood on each other s j
heads in their engernes to hear every note, j
Tho result was a S3B house. The people of j
Pennsylvania Furnace are very anxious to
receive a visit from them, but we believe ;
the company have determined to make
their next trip in the direction of llebers- i
burg and Wolf's Store.
—Mr. Jonathan Barter, of Millheim,
who was recently so generous as to donate
SIOOO toward the erection of the new
Lutheran church at that place, is a modest,
unassuming gentleman, and is considerably
perturbed about the extended circulation
which hi* unusually generous action has
received. Such deeds of generosity are so
rare and at the same time so commendable
that they form a pleasant subject for com
ment. Thus their influence become* salu
tary, not only in the community where
they are performed, but wherever they are
known.
—The Clearfield Republican, of a recent
issue, say* that the members of the bar of
that county have "held a meeting for tho
purpose of taking step,* to look after the
proper measure In bringing about the for
mation of a new Judicial District, a* con
templated by thnconstitution." As Clear-
Held county has, according to the census
returns, tho requisite number of inhabi
tants for a separate judicial district, wo
suppose it will not be long beforo she
withdraws from the district now combined
of the three "Cs"—Clearfield, Clinton and
Centre.
—Mr. Toller, of the Brockerhoff House,
says the rate* of board at tbat popular
place of entertainment will not be raised
in the event of the car works going igto
operation next spring. The proprietor of
the Bush House has made a similar asser
tion. As we have no doubt the proprietor
of the Barman House will pursue the same
sensible course, there will be no lack of
royal accommodation at popular price* for
the mighty throng who shall make this
place the Mecca of their prilgrimage* next
summer.
—Pine Hall is now indulging in the
pleasant diversion of a successful musical
convention, conducted by Prof. A. J.
Hwartz, of Pleasant Gap. Miss Kmma
Swart/, preside* at the organ, and the
Washington cornet band contribute* to the
musical programme with some of it* best

always one of the chief feature* of such
occasions, will lake place Oaxl Saturday

DEATH or THOMAS M-GHEE —We
learn from the Lock Haven Daily Journal
that F.x-Sheriff Thoma* McGbee, of t.'lin
ton county, died on Sunday morning laat,
at the Danville Insane Asylum, aged ,
about 70 years. Sheriff McGbee was, w- .
believe, a native of Centre county, having j
passed the years of his early life in Mile*
township, from whence the family remov
ed to Lamar township. He was at one
time a prominent candidate for sheriff
of the county. Lamar becoming a part
of Clinton county, the I-ock Haven
Journal remarks that "In the early day*
of tho county he served *■ Prothon
otary and Sheriff. Ilia last official position
was that of Court Ciier, which he filled up
to the lime of tho failing of hit mind *ov
eral years ago. Deceased was one of the
beat auctioneers In the State, and had a
great reputation in that business. In
religious faith he was a Methodist, and
one of the most active member* of that
denomination in thi* city." Sheriff
MeGhee was a pleasant, genial and
generous hearted man and had hosts
of warm friends wherever he was known.
Hi* remains were brought to Lock Haven
for interment, the funeral taking place
yeaterday afternoon.
KARTHUUAK E*.— Wetuppnse that Moth
er Shipton'a prophesy and the fact that
certain planet* are now in perihelia have
nothing to do with ft, but we are reliably
informed the alarming news
that one day last week—Wednesday, we
believe—shocks of an earthquake were
perceptibly fell at Aeronsburg, this county.
At about the same time, It is reported,
earthquake shocks were noticed at Hun bury
and Lowiaburg, this State, and along the
Hudson river. The fact that these shock*
were simultaneously reported at so many
surrounding point* seriously impresses us
with the belief that It was a genuine con
vulsion of Mother Earth, and to know
that il extended so near as Aaronsburg it
disagreeable in the extreme. How soon
will thla snow mantled trrra fir ma over
which we now walk in such security open
it* capacious bosom and swallow ua all in
(the car work* included) 1 Here's a prob
lem for tho wicked to solve.

have boen aU*dily proeecuted and tho
number of attraction* which it will in
clude have so increaaed, that tho onter
taimnent promise* to bo much more ox ton

nent among the attraction* will bo the urt
gallery, which will occupy tho principal
room of tin* I'o*t. Hero will hang rare
and valuable picture*, representing tho
■cone* of "Auld Lang Syne." llero will
also be found an extensive collection of
other article* to remind u* of the day* of
our great-grandparent*. Another apart
ment will be devoted to sitluble articles,
manufactured by the fair ladies of tho
town, and the booths where they are vend
ed will doubtless be presided over by the
fairest of the fair. Everybody will have
nn opportunity t buy jurt what he or she
ha* been craving for a long time. The
choicest refreshment* w ill be for sal- con
stantly. Oyster* will form a part of the !
bill-ot-fare if it is possible to secure the
delicious bivalves "for love or money."
Preparations have also been completed for
a grand concert under the auspice* of the
Post, to be held in the Court House on
Tuesday evening, the '-".'l instant The
■Jubilee hungers and all the other bom ■
tnui<al talent that can be procured will
positively be present and a.-isl in the
melody of the evening. Thus it will l>e
sen that the Post has arranged to give
our oiti/.en* a full week of pleasant and
instructive recreation, which is the best of
medicine that can be prescribed, and will '
do much to prevent tho lanquor and lssi
tude consequent u;>on the approach of the
spring season. These fair* have proved
successful wherever they have been tried
and we hope that Belief into will bo no ex
cepiion l" the rule.
The proceeds of the fair will he u-d in
defraying an indebtedness on the corns -
tcry lot belonging to Gr-gg Post and to
aid indigent members and their families.
TIIE DEATH or AN AI.EU CITIZEN or
I'NIONVII.I E— An event of more than or
dinary importance incurrcd at I'n. mville
on Tuesday morning of )*st week, in the
death of Mr. Iticbard Catlow, an aged and
highly esteemed resident of that place. It
was our pleasure to meet the deceased
while on a visit to Union ville tone two
years g.., anil we were ihcu agreeably
imj ress.,| with the sprightly and youthful
manners exhibited by one far advanced
into the shady walk* of life. We remem
ber that he could then read without the
aid of sprrl*tles and derived much pleas
ure from the contemplation and discussion
of the varied themes of interest in his
neighborhi-i-d. We were, therefore, some,
what surprised at the announcement of
his death. In reference to the deceased,
the ll'AfrtiM*, of la-t week, gives the fol
lowing a I litional information
Mr. Hii hard Catlow, a venerable and
much respected citizen of I'nionville, this
county, died at his residence in that bor
ough on Tuesday morning last, the Ist
instant. Ilis age was about M years. Mr.
Catlow was an Knghsbman by birth and
came t,, America something like slxtv
years ago He has left a venerable wife
and three children, all married. One son
who lives In the west, is now in Union
ville. Hi* daughters are Mrs. I'hiiip
Teat., of Altocna, and Mrs Harvey Hoov
er, of I'nion township The funeral took
place Thursday morning, and was largely
attended. Mr Catlow was ari ardent
Democrat politically, and a sincere Chris
tian. He was a man of much intelligence
and information, well booked up tn bolb
religious and profane history. lie former
ly lived in Huston township, where he had
leen a justice of the pence for many years.
He has lieen a resident of I'nionville for
about fifteen years.
INAUOURAL NONSENSE. —We do not
give our endorsement at all to the elaborate
and absurd preparations which are making
to install Mr. James A. (Jarfleld into the
Presidential chair. It would be much bet
ter if our official ceremonies were so ar
ranged as to impress other nations with
our simplicity of manner and refined taste
rather than to ape tha gaudy show and
glitter of foreign courts. But, notwith
standing what we may say to the contrary,
the extensive preparations for the tth of
March next will be carried InloeffecL An
order has been issued to the flth regiment,
N. G. of Pa., which includes Company It,
of this place, to attend on that occasion
and "parade in full uniform of the Na
tional Guard of Pennsylvania, great coat*,
blanket-bags, haversack* and canteen*, and
carry three days' rations. The Quarter
master's Department will furnish the nec
essary transportation." The order lurth
er recites that "on the morning of the
parade the Division will Inspected by
the Brigade Inspector-, under the supervi
sion of the Division Inspector, and any
officer or enlisted man not ftilly equipped
In the uniform, a* proscribed by General
Order No. ft, 11. fv, IftftO, Adjutant Gene,
ral'a office, will not be permitted to pa
rade." The order D countersigned by D.
8. Keller, Asst. AdJ't Gen.
We might add further in regard to the
inauguration that alt who attend will have
to "pay dear for the whistle." Room*and
even windows from which to view the
grand parade are being disposed of at fab
ulou* prices, and tboae who do not have
everything engaged before they start will
fare badly. We hear of sveral persons
from ilellefonte who intend to go.

BIBLE LECTURE*. —Tho people of thi*
placo have been much favored this week
by the presence in their midst of Mrs.
Hitnri*li Whiieall Hmilh, a very talented
lady and a deep Bible student. Blie Is
known to the public a* a prominent worker
in Gospel meetings and also as the author
of several books, among which D the
"Secret of a Happy Life." Last Sunday
afternoon vim began a series of Bible lec
ture* in Humes' IJnll, many coming
from a distance to hear her. She is an
agreeable, fascinating speaker, and for
over nn hour held the large audience in
close attention. It is at once apparent to
all that she has been an indefatigable
Bible student, and it* holy word i* a light
to her mind and a fountain of living treas
ure in her heart. Shu consider* that the
different portion* of the Bible are in great
er harmony and bear a closer relation to
each other than many of those who follow
it precept* have yet dreamed of. All of
the Old Testament is to her a perfect tv pe
of Christian experience, and her explana
tion of it is extremely beautiful. Some of
the conclusion* which she draw* from
these types, however, purtake of n doc
trinal nature and nro not likely to be very
generally received in this community.
The meetings, which were continued every
afternoon and evening of this week, have
la-en very interesting They w ill conclude
Sunday afternoon at I o clock. They can
not fall to be profitable to ail who attend,
even il all of her audience cannot agree
with the lady in every unessential particu
lar. We hope her labors will be blessed
in the conversion of many.
Music AT I'I.EA-AM GAl*.— The mu
sical convention,' which has been heard of
in every portion of Centre country this
winter, will stop for a week at Pleasant
Gap, In-ginning next Monday morning and
closing in a grand concert on Saturday
night. Its voice has received severe train
ing this winter and that it has now grown
sweet, full and melodious will l- apparent
to all who go to the Gap next week.
Profs. IV H. Meyer, of P. -a'.sburc, and L.
M Meyer, of Centre Hall, have Iseen

efforts to make the affair a gtand success,

ties w ill I- in attendance, and if it is not
j <qul to Ti.ee-1-adorn Thomas' orchestra
•r Gilrnorc'a Band we are wrong in our
conclusions The M K <hurrh will la
the attractive place from whence the mu
sic will proceed. All who attend will be
turnishod with l-k free. We hope the
present sgreeable weather will continue
and that the enthusiastic expectations - f
those in charge will IK- abundantly realised.

A number of our farmer friends orgs

it composed of about thirty members, and
tbey will doubtless derive much pleasure
from their social gatherings.
—Tho excellent sloigbi-ig has caused the
farmers in this vicinity to protide them
selves with their usual supply of fire wood
for another year. They have also hauled
their crops to market, and more grain has
been taken from h-re to the markets of
Nillany and Bald Eagle Valley than ever
before.
—Very successful meetings have recently
been held by Rev. Dick in the Kvangelical
church at this place.
Mrs. Lydia Bickel, of this place, died
on Tuesday, the Ist instant. She was the
widow of Mr. Jacob Ilu kle, who was run
over by the cars in the vicinity of Duncan
A Hale's mill, near Iletlefonte, about eight
years ago. Five children were born to
her, two of whom—one son and one daugh
ter—still survive. She was conveyed to
her last resting placo on Friday, the tth

A* I bava placed all my means in the
reorganlnod enterprise, and propose to de
vote all my time to tt, I have no hesitation
in asking my personal and political friends
to give me the benefit of their prompt and
active co-operaiion. When we recollect
that over 7H.000 vote* were cast for Gen
eral Hancock in the city of Philadelphia
alone, on the 2d of November, and in
Pennsylvania 400,000, and in the country
at large about Ova million of votes, there
ought to be a reedv and liberal response to
the scheme of an Independent Democratic
waekly paper of tha highest class in Phil
adelphia.
The hour of Democratic defeat, procured
hy open purchase of the suffrage, and by
deliberate intimidation of the dependent
