Frequent services will be held in the Episcopal church of this place during Lent, which began yesterday. Two ser vices were held yesterday—Ash Wednes day—and the Litany will be said on Fri day afternoon at 4 o'clock. March came in neither roaring like a lion nor bleating like a lamb. We don't know what animal to aompare it with, but guess that the monkey will suit. But when March comes in like any other ani mal than a lion or lamb it gives us no basis upon which to foretell how it will go out. —Thomas Carlyle, in speaking of Amer ica, once said, "The secret of happiness in America is that ye have a vast deal of land for a very few people. '' The eminent philosopher erred in neglecting to state ; that an important item in the happiness of j Americans is tbat they have such flnegro- : eery stores as that of S. A. Brew A Son. j All the land in Centre county would fail j to make a man happy if he did not have a first-class grocery store near by. —The three planet*, Saturn, Jupiter and Venus, illuminate the western heavens, and are most beautiful just after the sun has retired behind tho horizon.

After looking eagerly around the handsomely furnished room where he sat, he exclaimed, inquiringly. "Oh, grand ma, where is the miserable table papa saya you keep?" "Oh, we have a good table now, my dear," answered grandma;" we have commenced buying our groceries of Hechler JA Co., aud our cook is now able to prepare some of the nicest dinners you ever tasted. Last Sunday night was one of the times when tho darkness was so intebse that it could almost be felt. The street lamps were In their usual places, but they were not visible to mortal eye, end only served a* obstructions to impede the prog ,;-ee# of pedeetrian*—and their hard iron surface is by no means the most agreeabl* substance in the world to come in forcible contact with. We believe ijrith Artemu* Ward that this should not be thus, and are of opinion thet it will not be heeltby for the borough authorities to have too many "this thucs." In plain word*, why were not the street lamps lit? Are the borough authorities in league with the evil powers to keep people away from church ? < ; ' ( f r . : THK LATEST FRESHET. —Wo hopo tho Hood which agitated tho bosom of Hprlng crook last Monday morning may bo tho concluding ono for tbi oa*on at loaat. Tho pretty stream, with iU IribuUry, Logan branch, row very rapidly last Sun day night, caused by a violent rain storm which began about 4 o'clock on tho after noon of that day and continued with una bated fury for fourteen hours. At 4 o'clock on Monday morning it had attained a height seldom known bofore. Tho im mense body of snow along (ho banks of tho tao streams was transformed into water, and descended liko an avalanche into tho roaring Hood. Considerable damage was wrought by tho destructive waters. Tho dam above tho car works was in imminent danger of bursting its banks, in which case tho de struction would have been increased to an almost limitless extent. Tho smallor dams at Mann's Axe Works and at Valentines' Ironworks gave way, and sent thoir con tents down to swell tho mighty flood. A trestle which supports Valentines' railroad across Spring creek was only prevented from floating olf by being secured on one end. An immense cako of ice struck ono of the piers oi the High street bridge, considerably endangering tho safety of tho structure. Further down tho creek tho bridge lending to tho Hush House stables was carried away. Tho bridge on Lamb street was greatly damaged as were also several other similar structures further down tho stream. Tho dam at Linn A McCoy's Ironworks was damaged to a considerable extent. All along tho course of tho creek cellars wero flooded, causing much destruction and inconvenience. Tho waters subsided almost as soon a they had risen. It is not a comforting thought that sufficient snow remains to again swell the creek with a raging torrent if wo should be visited soon by the same amount of rain. I'ERRONALS.—Senator C. T. Alexander bestowed his agreeable presence on Bollo fonte during last Sunday. Miss Jennie I)are has returned home from Philadelphia, and will again enliven ttie society of ItcUefonto with her presence. ltcv. Mr. N'esbitl, of Lock Haven, preached two splendid sermons for the Presbyterian congregation, of this place, on ; Sunday last. The audience present at tho [ morning service was aneof tho largest that ! ever assembled in the church. Kev. Wm. Laurie filled Kev.

YOR TIIJC KOBKH or RKJOICINO.— The following remarks concerning tho season upon which we have jut entered are copied from tho Altoona Tribune.: The penitential season of Lent began on Wed nesday of thin week. To many it U a season of fasting and prayer, whilu to all, especially tho gayer world, it is a tinio for much needod rent from social demands, such as parties, balls, entertainments, etc. It concludes with Saturday, the 10th of April, at which time tin; white robes of Easier rejoicing aro brought forth. The setting apart of forty days as a season of fasting and special devotion has its origin in simi lar seasons mentioned both in tho Old Testament and tho New. Moses was on Mount Sinai with tho Almighty lor forty days and nights. Elijah fasted forty days and nights as ho went to Mount lioreb. When Jonah proclaimed to the Ninuvites that their city would he destroyed if they did not repent, their term of grace was fixed at forty days, during which time they "proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from tho greatest to the least." When Jesus Christ went into tho wilderness to be tempted by the devil, his term of exile was forty days and nights, during which lime he fasted Jly the people of tho Old Tes tament fasting was observed as an accom paniment to prayer and other acts of devo tion. Thoro aro intimations in tho New Testament that lasting, i( devoutly prac ticed, would be acceptable to God. In the early church there seems to have boon as great diversity of opinion about the duly of fasting as among modern Christians. In the first century fasting was joined with prayer in connection with the rito of bap tism. In tho second century it became customary to fast before Easter, not in such protracted measure as tho fast, but rather with a series of solemn services. These were principally on Fri days, to commemorate the day of the cru cifixion. At Alexandria Wednesdays and Fridays were observed as fast days, com memorative of the betrayal of our !ord on Wednesday and his crucifixion on Friday As regular days of fasting became more and more fixed institutions the custom in creased of preparing by feasting on the Jays preceding the fast. There is high authority for this in the account of Elijah and bis fast. Before entering on his forty days of abstinence ho ate a substantial repast and "went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto lioreb, the Mount of God." In the limes of the early fathers, Chrysostom, Augus tine and others, this feasting was so greatly in excess as to cause tho outspoken con demnationof theie Godly men. But human nature is much the snme in all generations. As fasting became more of a prescribed duty preliminary h-asling grew in favor. In countries where the fat is made the most of tho carnivals which precede It are most eminently flavored with jollity and the consumption of creature comforts. The season of Lent in its forty-day con tinuance gradually became a fixed custom, both in the Eastern and tho Western churches. For a long time fasting was voluntary. By the Council of Orleans in oil it was made obligatory. The Eighth Council of Trent in the next century for bade the use of meat during the fast before Easter, and decreed that thoso who ato it during that time should go without it for the rest of the year. Various councils from time to time took action as to the details of fasting In tho English Church Lent was commanded by Ercombert, sev enth King of Kent, in the eighth century. The Protestant Episcopal church of this country has closely followed the practices of the Church of England as to Lent. In ail the churches which observe the Ash Wednesday services aro partially solemn and |>enilcntial. There is a general abstinence from worldly business if not from food. In all the churches where fasting prevails tho rules of abstinence from food are now so modified that no privation need be undergone so great as to he dangerous to health. The sick, tho feeble and the hard working are exempted from fasting as it would be injurious to the physical system. To th>triiiy devout who accept the duty of fasting as a help to spiritual life and to communion with God it would seem that there must be advan tage in it. Tho world sutlers from glut tony and overfeeding far more than from eating too little. —Among the officers recently elected to preside over the alfairs of the borough of Pbiliprburg were three gentlemen—VV. T. Bain, 8. F. Lytle and L. C. Jonea—who were chosen to fill the somewhat novel position of church trustees. When their names were published in last week's DIM OCRAT we did not understand the duties of this honorable position. Our ignorance on the subject was, doubtless, shared by others, for in its recent issue the Philiptburg Journal feels called upon to ofTor the fol lowing explanation: I<ong years ago before church denomi nations had an existence in this ancient "burg," a property was set aside bv the founder of the village, and a building erected denominated the "Union Church," whose doors ws'e always one.i to ministers of the gospel for preaching and public worship This property is under the con trol of the borough authorities, and the voters elect annually three trustees, whose duty it Is to supervise the same. Expenses for repairs ana incidentals are paid out of the borough tax assessment. —Tuesday last was what is commonly known at "Bbrove Tuesday," and was the proper time to eat doughnuU—a very wel come occasion for the children, whe would rejoice to have It universally observed. LINKS ABOUT LKNT.—Tho following ! protty poem, appropriate to Lent, Is from tho pen of MM. Marcella V. Hardenbergh, of Brooklyn, and appears in a neat little volume recently issued by her under tho title "From Heart to Heart." The poem is entitled "A I RTIBLJ SIR." It is tiic solemn Lenten time, When from the world apart, We Christians should review our life, And try our inmost heart. Before Jehovah's searching sight. All guilty we must he, But yet I think our crying sin Is lack of charity. Proud Pharisees, wo thank the Lord, We not as others seeut, Our glass can magnify the "mote," But quite o'crlook tho "beam." Is our own garb so undofilod, Our heart so while within, That we can draw our robes aside, And spurn the child of sin ? Can we stand up witli spotless hands, Pass sentence on another, Unpitying lift the murderous stone And slay an erring brother? If Christ such mercy showed to us, As we to others show, How swift would be our punishment, llow sure would be our woe! Lord, in the holy Lenten time, Teach us our guilt to see ; Oh send, most needed of all gifts, The grace of charity. IN MIMORIAM.—At Linden Hail, Cen tre county, Pa., January 1", 1 1, Lucy Boss, aged 63 year* and •> months, wife of John L. Boss. \VIIXRK AS, it has pleased the Great Master in Hit all-wise providence to enter j our Grange circle by death for the second time, removing from our midst another of our charter members—our beloved Bister Lucy ROM—after a sojourn of seven years with u. Rrthlreil, That in tho death of Bister Hots, Victor Grange has lost a worthy member, her husband and son a kind and affectionate wife and mother, the church a devoted Christian, yet we truly believe that their loss is her infinite gain. Jlet -lvrJ, That we sympathi/.e with the bereaved husband and son and commend thein to God, who it too wise to err and too J good to do wrong. RThat the foregoing resolutions I ! i>e recorded on the minutes of Victor j Grange No. lot.

MRS. G W. CA Mils KM., "| MRS J. R. DAI.X, -Com. M k*. E It. I OAI., j LIABILITY or TOWNSHlPS.—Supervisors about going into office should lake heed of i recent decisions of the Supreme Court in j 1 relation to roads and bridges, so that they will place and keep all such in condition \ that will ensure the safety of travelers and save the township damage* The Supreme Court has decided that if a public road, running through a township, is so danger. I ous by reason of its proximity to a preci picc that common prudence require* extra j precaution In order to ecuro safety to j travelers, the township is bound to use such precaution, and the omission to do so is negligence. Townshij*, a well as other municipalities, as a city or borough, are j bound to creel walls or barriers along the sides of it* mad. if that i necessary to the ( safety of travelers. In another caw the Supreme Court also decided that, where the plaintiff wa* driv ing over an unrailed township bridge and the horse look fright at a plank nailed over a hole in the bridge, and before be could be prevented, backed over the bridge into the creek, by which the horse, carriage and harness were injured, judgment WM properly entered upon a verdict for SB3, in ' favor of the plaintiff and against the town ship, who should have kept the bridge in a safe condition. DKATII os MRS WIAVIR.—Thia lady, the wife of George 11. Weaver, Esq., of Howard street, died on Monday morning la*t, of consumption, with which she had been for a long time a sufferer. She was a lady of great amiability and energy, and would not la'lieve that death was so newr until it had almo*t arrived. A husband and several children survive her, who d'-wrve the profoundest sympathy in their cffiiclion. Her maiden name was Mist •Susan Ingram. She was in her f.lst year. Mr. Harry Mall, a former resident of Milesburg, died recently at Maryville, Nodaway county, Mo., aged 78 year*. He wa* a stone mason by trade, and worked on the Presbyterian church at Milesburg during the process of its erection. A a citir.cn he was thoroughly respected by all who knew him, and his* death is greatly regretted. Mr*. J. A. Wallace, net Miss Mary J. Williams, died at the home of her husband at Alexis, Warren county, Illinois, on Fri day, tbe 2fllh of January. Mrs. Wallace's maiden home was in this place, where she was married, her husband rwiding here for some time and pursuing the occupation ola sign writer and also being connected with the Mountain City Rand as leader. —Mr*. Margaret Carson, wife of Wil liam Carton, died at her home in Bpring Mill* on the 23d ult. She was an excellent woman and a devoted member of the M. E. church. Her rest is peace. —A coincidence occurred at Pbitipsburg on Sunday morning, the 20th instant. Rev. I)r. Woodend, the new pastor of the Presbyterian church, had just announced hit text, "Let fire come out of tbe bramble, and devour the cedar* ol Lebanon," when a smell of fire and smoke pervaded the sanctuary, and tbe floor of the church waa discovered to be on fire, caused by an overheated furnace. A few buckets of water checked the progress of the flames, and Dr. Woodend proceeded with his In terrupted discourse. It Is not often that such an immediate response follows the eiorlntioni of a minister.
