The Major started u> Washington yester
day and will enter upon hi* duties immed
iately after his arrival. 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

the rules of the bureau. His many friends
will be gratified to learn of hit success.

1t,,0f Bellefonte, have already commenced

| ance of Decoration Day, which comes j

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.
We well remember the ringing music of his
strong blows upon the anvil, and whata tre
mendous worker he was. While in Rolle
fonte, Mr. Weiser we* the guest of his
brother-in-law, John Wagner, Esq., ef
Spring street. May he yet be spared meny
years In the enjoyment of gooa health.
HON. SAMUEL LINN. —Our distinguish
ed formur townsman, lion. Banuiol Linn,
no well known and #e highly rosjioctod liy
tbo people of Centre county, wu some
timo ago honored by Judge Morrow, of
HriuUord county, with the appointment of
mauler nnd examiner In u very important
equity suit in that county which involve#
large mini* of money. 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. Ho
came from Bellefonto hero in the year IKJO
at tho age of sixteen, and wa* an engineer
on tho North Branch canal under hi*
uncle, Mr Harris, who wa*chief engineer,
Ho remained hero till some time in tho
year 1839, and ha* often boon heard to say
that "they were tho three happiest year*
of hi* life." It i certain deep and pleas
ant impression* were made U|H>II hi* mind,
for he not only remember* event*, but the
name* of person* from Browntown to
Athens, their buiines* and peculiarities
lie think* he knew every man, woman and
child along the lino of the canal between
those two point*. A*ido from tho hard
work ho had to do, it i* not claimed but
that he enjoyed fun, and that hi* happi
ness in tlii* rcsi.ect wa not circumscribed.
It was tbo jubilant, jolly overflow not 1111-
cxpcctod in a young man of his ability and
sound bodily condition. And now after
forty-two year* of "hard knock*" in prac
tical life, he return* to u* in the maturity
of manhood, but inclined to leel young
again and live over the merry day* of '.'bi
ll. 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. Tho parlio* to the equity '
j -uit are fortunate to have a Master so able I
' and upright as Judge Linn is.'
I , ll!LIl'!tl K<i. —The remarkable growth j
and the present businc*# prosperity of Phil- i
ipsburg, Centre county, in contrast with
Osceola and Houtr.dale, Clearfield • canty, i
are the subj<ct of an excellent and inter- I
i osting article that appeared in the Osceola
| HrrnUr of last week Certainly the spirit i
' of thrift, energy and enterprise shown by
I the people of Pbiliptburg in the improve.
| inent and building upon their town cannot
be too highly commended. In IWHi the
population of Philiptburg was enumerates! j
with Hush township, when l*iih contained i
•'.*o inhabitant*. In I*so the numl-er re- i
turned in loth was only 371. In I*7" the
(•opulalion of I'hilipsburg alone wa* lOHfi,
and in 1880 it was I7"si, showing an in
crease in the decade between IH7O and 1880
iof nearly ill j*>r cent. Tho writer on the
IterrilU attribute# the success of our Cen
tre county town t*> "natural cause*,'
j among which it spocifisw five as follow*
"In the first place Philipshurg is an old
! town, and has the precedent of being the
i i entre of trade of this region f>r over :
( fifty year# —long before any of its rivals 1
! were thought of and of a sequence its cil- j
j i/.ens have acquired wealth and opulence, ;
i by which her tenure of ucces is made per
| inanent.
In the next place her merchants are
j there to stay, and with their surplus earn- i
. ing* invest in real estate, build themselves
j palatial residence# and gorgeous store.
I rooms, and beautify their town with ail
tho modern adornment* and convenience#
Thirdly ; her citir.ens are trtiir-awale,
enterprising and affable—act In harmony
| for the town's good, and are ever on the
alert to attract the stranger, seeking for a
location, to their fold They are generous
beyond measure, and sometimes hiss pi la- !
hie to their own inconvenience, a* Osceola
iar,s can attest.
Fourthly ; they are liberal in advertis- ]
ing, which has the effect of drawing the
j trade from many mile# around them.
Fifthly . 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. Among them we
may mention William P. Duncan, of Dun-
I can, Hale A Co.; (, W Hoover, of Hoov
er, Hughe* & Co. ; and Dr Hale, if he
: doe# not com* himself, largely invests in
1 ono or two interest# in tho place.
