man House register, last Monday, to con- 1
lain the names of the attendants at court

were so many of them.
Much dhsatisfaction is expressed with
the grocers of this town for purchasing
poor butter at the saino price they pay
for tho good article and making their j
customers suffer in consequence. Ills an
imposition. Which grocer will be the
first to make a distinction ?
—A reunion of the surviving soldiers of
the late war, residing in Tioga, Lycoming, I,
Potter, Bradford and Centre counties, is
to be held some time during this summer, i
the date and place hereafter to be fixed, j
Delegates are requested to meet at Wells- j
boro, Tioga county, on the .'Uith of May to
make arrangements for this interesting ;
event.
Mr. John H. McQuistion, of Butler, t 1
brother of our agreeable fellow-citizen, j 1
Mr. S. A. McQuistion, died on Tuesday of 1
last week in Hunbury. A few weeks ago i
he received a stroke of paralysis and had i
gone to the home of his sister, Mrs. Z, ig- 1
ler, of that place, to receive proper care 1
and attention. His death . quite sud- ' 1
den and unexpected.
—As the days grow warmer people be- j 1
gin to think of their summer trips to the j 1
sea-side or to the mountains. All the 1
summer resorts are hard at work getting 1
ready for the hot weather, and doubtless a
larger number of people from Centre coun- j
ty will visit thorn than over before. But
people who desire good groceries can re- j ,
sort to Sechler A Co's grocery store at all ,
times in the year, and they will always i
find an immense and excellent stock.
—The number of newspapers publi-10-d i
in Pennsylvania continues to multiply
with startling rapidity. The latestcontri- ■
bution to literary fame in this direction 1
which we have received is a diminutive
but readable daily paper called the Sun, '
and published at Blooinsburg, Columbia <
county. Its publishers are Aleni B. Tate i
and B. W. Kahler. It purports to be
"independent in all things, neutral in
nothing." So long a it adhere* to these '
high principle* wo bid it success.
—Another Polar expedition is on the !
tapis. It is to leave the port of San Fran
cisco about the first of June, with the os
tensible purpose of searching for the lost
ship Jeanette, from which nothing hss
been heard for a long time. We ho|>e the ,
mission of the investigating party may be
successful, but we are absolutely certain j
that if it sails from pole to polo it will not
find a bottery grocery storo than that of S ,
A. Brew A Son, of this place. Tho very '
best groceries are brought from ail over '
the world to furnish tho stock for this '
store.
—The first of May is the regular time
for New Yorkers to exchange their place*
of residence and is with them one of the ,
most important occasions of the year
Bellefonters can congratulate thcmslvc* !
i that this disagreeable duty is over with |
them for the year 1881. All the families
of this place arc now comfortably settled
in their new homes, and if they purchase
their groceries of Sechlcr A Co. they can
live in domestic peace and happiness. But
the most essential requisite to the above re
sult is that they buy all their groceries at
Hechler's store.
—One of the young misses of New('atle
is so infatuated with Thomas Murphy, sen
of tho temperance advocate, that sno drop
ped a note for him into the collection box
! last Sunday and it was handed to that
! gentleman on tho stage by one of the
deacons, attracting the attention of the
entire audience.— Phil'a Time*.
Evidently, Mr. Thomas Murphy is a
very captivating young gentleman, judg
i ing not only from tho above occurrence at
New Castle, but from similar actions on
the part of the yoiyig ladies of another
place not far distant in which he took oc
casion to spend a few days.
—Sunday last was the most beautiful
and balmy day of the season, and Spring
bonnet* were out in great numbers. They
are indescribably lovely, but our readers
may gain some Idea of their general ap
pearance by the following remarks of the
Rack/ami Qiurict :
The new spring style in bonnets is just
too sweet for anything. It is made out of
some kind of stuff, sort of delicate in tex
ture, and of a rather lightish color, kind
of cut away on the sides, and rollad hack
on the top, and scooped out underneath,
and trimmed with some sort of ribbon
•tuff that looks nice, and some kind of
other sort of material that is handsome,
and It I* all fixed on In that kind of way
which looks so much like something that
we can't remember, and the whole effect Is
very exquisite, reminding us of a most
beautiful something or other whose name
we can't just at present call to mind.

None who listened to his remark* could
fail to gather from them many suggestions
which would prove bom-lb ml in practice.
A few questions were a-k'-d the Professor
al the close of the lecture, afi r which tin
meeting adjourned.
CELESTIAL PHENOMENA -An exchange |
indulge- in iiii. following remark* regard
ing the interesting and novel |>sitiont
recently a.-um<d by the members of the
planetary system of which the earth is a
part. It rays:
" La. t Friday morning there happened,
as only happ- ns once in many years, a
grand assembly of tin- planets, ari l f.>r
hours the Sun,the Moon, Mercury, Venus, j
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and N-ptune, not j
to sp. ak ol i. < rowd or asteroids, w ho, like j
poor relative*, nr.- always on hand, kept
each other company in the regions of the
sky. The event was of a strictly private
character. Th.-se interested V'ilc-1 it a- 1 ,

that all the pint Is save I'r.vnu* were in
the -ame quarter of the heave.is, all rising
ami eiiing within a jteriod of two hours.
No two are suje-rimj lat any time, and '
so no useful observation can )"• made. The i

at the moment when all the planet* and

This situation, if it ever occurred, mu>l

remarkable gatherings f the planets take

sion, Christian. J- si-h arid Moharnedsn j
seers combined to (rophesy the world's
end It went on. however, just as la-fore,
and just a* it probably will after the pres
ent event. Hereafter, however, such
- ombination* may he rn -re observed in
reference to their effect on the sun spot*." I
Sivir FIRE CATTL*. — Col. Ceo. Shrop
shire, of Bourbon county, Kentucky, has
now on exhibition in the stables of the j
Carman House, a few splendid specimens
ot blooded Durham cattle. They consist
of one bull, five cow* and two heifer
. alve#, and are pronounced perfect beau- '
tic* by all who see them. Col. Shrop-
I shire will spend several day* in town,dur- '
, ing which time these noble animals can he j
viewed and admired by all who feel inclin

in the breast. He was carried into Her

tended to. We hope to hear that he will
speedily recover.

Son's Boot and Shoe Store, on Hishop-st.,
one thousand dollars' worth of those ele
gant boots and shoes, the remains of the
City Boot and Shoe Store, are offered for
sale at cost in lots or by the pair. This
offer will continue during the April court,
and prescnta a rare chance for cash buy
ers of which they should not fail to take
ad vantage. 17-R.
—On Monday morning an accident oc
curred at the railroad round house under
somewhat peculiar circumstance*. A load
ed coal car was pushed Into the round
house and when near the entrance was
detached from tho regular train, the proper
action of the brakes being relied upon to
check it* progress. * But for some some
cause those appliance* failed to fulfill their
usual office, and the car continued iU
course, coming in violent contact with the
wall of the structure. Tho car carried
away a portion of the brickwork and
shattered a window. The brakeoian es
caped injury by leaping from the car be
fore the concussion occurtcd.
