might have been seen going to the Phila
delphia Branch to buy clothing.

Orbison, Mm. Roberta, Mrs. Hayes, Mrs.

the work of spreading the Gospel is being
pursued in an energetic manner. Tho
ladies returned home much encouraged,
and will dovoto themselves to tho accom
plishment of tho ends and aims of tho
society more vigorously than over boforc.
—As will be seen by reference to our
advertising columns, tho old and reliable
mercantile firm of S. & A. Locb has ro
cently undergone a slight change in its
administration by the admission of Mr.
William Graucr to sn interest in the busi
ness. Mr. Orauer has long officiated as
clerk in tho establishment, and hercatter
will attend to the demands of customers
more assiduously than ever, as his interest
in tho general welfare of the business has
increased. The name, style and title of
the ilrm remains unchanged, but as they
desire to balance their old accounts and
start afresh, they request all who are in
debted to the old ilrm to call immediately
and tnake payment.
We are in receipt of a specimen num
ber of Mollis' Floral Instruction, published
at tho noted Mohawk Valley Seed Gardens,
located at Conajoharie, M. Y. We are
informed that at these Gardens large quan
tities of both vegetablo and flower seeds
are annually grown and put up and sold
direct to the planter, a featuro that cannot
bo over estimated. Tho proprietor, A. C,
Mollis, offers great inducements in the
seed line, both to tho wholesale and retail
trade, and offers to send a sample number
of his beautiful quarterly and a packet of
choice vegetable and flower seeds for a to.
stamp.
—Judge Samuel Linn, of Williami|>ort,
| has received the appointment of master in
i the case of tho heirs of Asa l'acker vs. the
Lehigh Valley Railroad. This appoint
ment is one of great importance, as the
amount involved exceeds SOOO,OOO, and
tho business connected with it will require
the presence of Judge Linn in Philadelphia
for about two months. Judge Linn is a
j lawyer of great learning, especially in all
| things relating to the land laws, and the
appointment, made by Judge Morrow, of
I Towanda. was most worthily bestowed.
' .
| —Gn Friday, tbo 2*>th instant. Mrs
Ellen Ryman will expose for sale at the
I late residence of Mr. Jacob Ryman, de
j ceased, at Milesburg, some very desirable

t —The M E. congregation was somewhat
startled last Sunday evening, during the !
i progress of the usual s.t vices in that churrh, '
I by the discharge of a revolver. The
weapon was in the possession of some boy
who took that opportunity to display it Us |
his companions. But when boys attend ;
church they should leave their carnal
weapons at home, and if they are afraid to i
go home with the girls without the pro
tection of a revolver, well—it would be
better if they would go to bed before it
gets dark.
Rev M*e Pincknev (colored preach- j
ed to the members of the J,og*n Hose ,
Company in their pleasant hall, last Hun
day afternoon. An elaborate eulogy of ;
the great name and extensive fame of the
company formed a prominent feature of
hi* discourse. This modern Moses, unlike
his famous predecessor who was born in
the bulrushes, excels in loquacity, and
does not need an Aaron to make his
speeches. His sermon on this occasion,
however, was quite brief.
—At tho regular monthly meeting of
the borough council, on Monday evening,
Mr. Richard Mctafferty was sworn in as a
member of that body. A request rereived
from the Undine Hose Company for re
pairs U> their hose house, was referred to a
committee for consideration. Complaints
were also received in regard to the condi
tion of the pavement in front of the Cum
mings House. Mo other business of im
portance was transacted.
Rutherford B. Hayes and family with
their suite arrived at Altoona in a special
palace car last Saturday night and tarried
in that city during Sunday, attending di
vine service in the M K. churches both
morning and evening. A few citizens
called upon them, but otherwise their stay
in the Railroad City was unmarked by any
exciting event. Gn Monday morning they
continued their journey to their homes in
Ohio.

H A. McKee, Esq., our youthful and
able young legal friend, has been suffering
a protracted spell of illness, but has recov
ered sufficiently to bo about again. Hope
it will be a long time before sickness shall
again confine hitn to tho house.
—We learn that Mr. Teller,the popular
proprietor of tho lirockcrhoff House, con
templates leaving that hotel this spring.
It Is to be hoped the rumor i* unfounded,
a* that gentleman, aside from being a host
who has no peer in hi* profession. i also
a most agreeable and accomplished gentle
man.
—Thero is a prospect that among the
many desirable accession* to Bellefonto'#

tionist, will sometime in the near future,
give an entertainment in the Presbyterian
church of Milesburg, for the purpose of
raising money to repair the parsonage.
The dale will be announced in due time.

; first to cross the dark water* was Adam

I lamented by a host of surviving friends
and neighbors. A few days later a Mr*.

girl by death after a short illness. John
, Kmorick, a citizen of the lower part <>s the
Valloy, whs buried on the same day. Mrs.
; Curson, wife of William (.'arson, the vet
eran constable of Potter township, died on
Wednesday, the 2'id of February, at the
■ residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Freder

' 26th ult., John Taylor, an aged and re
spooled citizen of Farmers' Mills, was laid
■ beneath tho clods of the valley. For many
■ long weeks he had been confined to a bed
of suffering, but now he rest* from hi*
troubles in that happy land, we trust,
where sorrows never enter. A large con
' course of mourning friends and relative*
r followed his body to it* la*l resting place.
I <>n the same day, the 26th ult., George

I —AI. Luce, who sold hi* homo in the

Messrs Editors
Rev. N. J Mitchell, of Howard, who
| is so well known and highly respected
throughout the eounty, was the recipient
of a very pleasing complimentary visit
from a few of hi# neighbor# on Wednesday
evening the 2d instant, it l>eing the seven
ty-third anniversary of his birth. Not
withstanding the dignity of his years and
hi* calling, the Rev. gentleman it unusual
ly popular with hi* yowny friends, and
happening to meet some of them on Mon
day who kindly inquired for his health
and welfare, be casually remarked that he
would be "seventy-three year* old to-mor

together, and resolved to give the old vet
eran in Christ's service a "surprise dona
tion party.'', A* a result of this resolve a
delightful company of friend* and neigh
bor# appeared al his residence the following
evening, bringing with them gift*, not "of
frankincense and myrrh," but of the sub
stantial thingsof life ; which, because they
were offered in token of the affection of
the givers, and of their appreciation of hi*
high standing a* a man and preacher, and
hi* useful and blarnel**# life a* a Christian,
were mora grateful far to the dear old
man than sweet perfume* or burning in

merry crowd, who, after spending a de
lightful evening, partaking of an elegant
collation—brought with them and served
by themselves— and listening to an elo
quent expression of thank* from the recip
ient of the visit, departed, leaving behind
them such generous tokens of their love
for Mr. Mitchell a* will serve to cheer and
brighten bis memories for all the years
that are yet in store for bim.

THE NEW I'R EHIIJENT INDUCTED

CONSENT or 0M-
I'ANT l.
Washington, I), c., March 0, 'Bl.
Tho ceremonies are over. The grandest
pageant ever witr.e#ed ha* pa**.-,! from
sight like the "baseless fabric of a vision,"
and all that is left of the wonderful picture
i* a bright and pl>-a*irig memory. 1
know you will have a detailed account of
the Inauguration, and will thoreforo con
fine rnyseif to (ho movement* of the visit
ing •la teamen from Bellefonto, and the
feature* of the great event which moat
concern the reader* of the DKMOI HAT.
When the Fencibles boarded the elegant
car provided for their transportation to
Washington at Bellefonto on last Thurs
day, amidst the well withe* of their friend*
and a well developed now torrn, there
were lively anticipation* of a good time
ahead stirring the manly boiorn* of the
brave fellow* who wore tho blue. There
was nothing calculated to disturb these
pleasant thought* during the trip until we
found ourselve* at Maryiville, a few miles
thil side of ilarrisburg. The storm had
increased in violence. The snow came
i down in a blinding sheet and the prospect
of seeing the Capitol of the Nation in her
pristine glory diminished at every step.
Arriving at Marysville, we were inconti
nently dumped on a siding and very decid
edly left. It was a desolate place There
were no particular attractions to speak of
in the situation. In fact, it was lonely.
Time passed and then passed again and we
were still there. The boys beguiled the
time by making a good deal of noise in a
vain attempt to sing, but still the hours
i dragged wearily. We were surrounded bv
desolation and about two feet of snow
('apt. Mullen and Lieut*. Potter and Hale
did tbeir best to keep up the spirits of the
men, but as the approaching dawn gradu
ally made itself felt through the car win
dows the impression deepened that we
would g'-t no Washington in ours. In the
meantime trains were passing us in rapid
succession over the main line of the Penn
sylvania Kailroad. At 7 o clock in the
morning wo found ourselves in Ilarrisburg
with no prospect of getting further The
storm at this time was simply indescril*-
ble. Col. Hastings, who by the way acted
toward the Bellcfonte boys in so kind and
j courteous a manner as to win for him the
1 everlasting good will of every tnari in the
j company, brought u* the news that we
were ordered to move. And move we did.
We went down the Northern Central at
! the rate of forty miles an hour. Van Pelt
and Kay vainly protested against the rate
of speed, but we rushed on regardless of
their objections. At Baltimore we passed
(sen Blair, who was just returning from
Washington. At hall-past one o'clock we
arrived at our destination and were re
iceived by a committee of citizens. In a
few moments we were formed in line on
Sixth street within fifty feet of Pennsyl
, vania avenue, where the procession was
j passing. General Beaver and bis staff put
: in an appearance at this time and were
heartily cheered. The scene here was very
(animated. The crowd was immense and
i varied. .Several men in the company
wondered whether the entire population ol
Washington was colored, as the man and
brother predominated largely. Soon we
j were in the line, and here the sight beg
gars description. The whole length of the
j Avenue, from the Capitol grounds to the
Treasury Department, was one vast, seeth
| ing, turbulent sea of people. It was with
the utmost difficulty that the procession
could succeed in forcing its way in good
order. On we swept in company front,
when on reaching Fourteenth street we
were astonished to hear some one cry out
above the din and confusion, "Hurrah for
Bellefonto. " I/ooking up, Mr. Tom Ilicks,
formerly of our town, was observed in the
fifth story window of a large building, en
thusiastically greeting hi* one-time neigh
bors. At the Treasury Department, as we
turned toward the White House, K. C.
Humes and Frank Montgomery gave us
generous applause, and further on Aaron
William! rushed out to tell u* he was on
deck. Here we paused the grand stand,
upon which were President Garfield, (Gen
eral* Hancock, Sheridan and McDowell.
The remainder of the march was without
incident until General Beaver, who was
riding a high mettled bay horae, was
thrown violently to the ground through
the stupidity of a driver of a covered
wagon. Here were General Sherman and
bis staff, Gov. lloytand General Hartranft,
with a large number of officers. General
Reaver'* accident caused a halt and almost
a break In the whole division, as some of
the men showed a disposition to bayonet
the driver who had been the cauae of the
General's misfortune. He was quickly on
his horse again and ordered u* forward.
He was considerably hurt and went at
once to his quarters. By this time the
men were completely ash suited, and the
movements ordered by the officers were
executed with great difficulty. Wa reach
ed our quarters at sis o'clock and found
them to be as comfortable as possible under
the circumstance*. They were conven
iently located on Seventh street but n short
distance from Pennsylvania avenue, and
ware provided with everything calculated
to make the men think of home. We are
indebted to Tom Nolan for this, and he
will be held in grateful remembrance by
the Company. The great event of our first
evening was the fire works. They were
discharged from the ground* of the Treas
ury Department and wore lino and taste
fully selected. Pennaylrania avenue wa*
crowded for square* and there wan much
enthusiasm, The Inauguration hall wa* a
aolect affair, and only tho*e who were on
the ground floor could procure ticket*. The
men have enjoyed themaelvea hegoly.
Kvery point of inherent in the city ha*
been visited, and to-day almot the entire
company have gone to Alexandria and Ar
lington Washington i* wrapfxid in hun
ting a* if with a garment. The decora*
tiona are profuse and beautirel and would
require column* to fittingly deacribe.
