Irwin, Esq., of Clearfield, were recommended for State Trustees Prom these the State Superintendent will | elect two. —Spring trade has opened very favor ably in Bellefonte. The stores are tilled with new stock and daily present scenes of business activity that must be very en couraging to the proprietors. Nowhere is this more manifest than at the extensive and popular grocery of S. A. Brew A Son They have a splendid -lock of everything in their line which they are selling out at a rapid rate. They spare no pains to please their customers and consequently always have a big run of trade. I —lt is a fact acknowledged by everyone [ ' that the grocery store of Sechler A Co., in , I the Bush House block, is a model estab ! lishment. They take particular care t" ' always keep in stock the very freshest and j choicest goods that can tie found in the | markets. The meat* and fruits, coffees, ton. spires, Ac., to lie purrha-d there will at all times be found superior in quality and reasonable in price.

No one better do- ; serves a position of the kind. Ho was a gallant soldier, and beside* the loss of a i leg bears upon his jierson the scars of sev- j oral other wounds. He is also, in every I I respect, well qualified, his long experience ' in the business of a pension claim agent j making him perfectly familiar with the ' ; laws in relation to fiensions and also with I the rules of the bureau.

As a step in this direction 1 they have engaged Captain .1. Merrill Linn, of Lewisburg, a brother of our townsman, John B. Linn, to deliver the oration on the occasion. Captain Linn'wa* a gallant soldier, serving with great credit in the filit, a regiment that was highly distinguished throughout the war, and that contained the names of a great many- Centre county men upon its rolls. Capt. Linn is an accomplished gentleman, a fine writer and speaker, and it may be expected that his oration will be an eloquent and entertaining production. —Among the spectator* whom we were pleased to see in the Court House last week, taking in the proceedings of court, was Mr. fismuel Weiser, fir., of Millheim. Old father time has made some visible in road* upon the once vigorous and com manding form of our old and esteemed frienfl, yet as we grasped him by the hand, we were gratiflod to learn that hi* present state of health is reasonably good. Mr. Weiser is now probably one of the oldest residents of the town of Millheim that it contain*. For many year* he followed tho business of blacksmilhing, and in his prime year* could accomplish as much In a day at any branch of bis trade, from the shoeing of horse to the Ironing of a farm wagon, a* any man who ever worked at it.

To perform tho duties required of him Judge Linn recent ly went to Towanda, the county scat of liradford county, and in tho Hevitiu of that place, tho following complimentary notice, which wo transfer with extreme pleasure to tho column* of tho DKMOCRAT, wa* made ol hi* pretence : "It i* not known to many of our people that Judge Linn wa* formerly a resident of our county, but uch i* the fact.

Many of his trienda and acquaintance* are gone 'tis true, hut many remain who will extend to him warm bands and cor- ! dial greetings, and make hi* sojourn 1 among us a# pleasant as possible. After he loft our county, he read law at j Carlisle, was admitted to tho bar in 1843, practiced hi profession in Bellefonto until when ho was elected President Judge of the district compoeed of Clinton, l>n- ; I tro and Clearfield. After nerving out nearly bit term, he resigned, and about twelve years ago came to Williarnsport, where his practice has been large and lu crative. He it ono of the ablest lawyers j of tho State.

Centre county takes great pride , and interest in thi# fast-becoming city, j j BnUalaatl sends her wealth to help her 1 along, and not only her wealth, but some jof her best citizens.
