—New York Evening P*i.
—lt is a boy, and our amiable friend,
"William K. ltcber, Esq., is exceedingly
happy.
—Bead the advertisement of Mr. D. M.
Cowher in our advertising column* this
week. He offers great bargains in the
Family Singer Sewing machine, and is
worthy of patronage.
—Mr. Thomas Burnsido can now claim
to be tho boss fisherman of Bellefonte. On
Friday and Saturday last he caught a num
ber of fine bass in Spring Creek, and was
greatly elated over his good luck.
—The work upon the new Reformed
church is now being pushed forward with
considerable energy. When completed it
will be a very handsome improvement to
our town, especially to Linn street.
—There is nothing that a smoker enjoys
so much as a fine cigar after dinner. The
place to find what you want is at Green's
drug store in the Bush House block, where
Harry will be found ready and willing to
sell you an extra cigar for five cents.
—While at work on the new Evangeli
cal church at Aaronsburg, Mr. Thomas
Hull, of that place, wa* so unfortunate
one day last week as to fall from the scaf
folding a distance of fifteen or twenty feet
to the ground, receiving severe injuries.
—A congressman told a friend that he
was filled with amazement; and the friend
went down to the bar and called for
"amazement." If he bad been troubled
with a cough, the proper thing to call for
would have been "Green's Comp. Syrup
of Tar, Honey and Bloodroot."
—The other evening wo noticed Mr
William Lyon, of Bishop street, driving a
very handsome black horse. This horse
wa* recently purchased by Mr. Lyon in
Bradford county. He is said to be a fast
stepper, and certainly in style and appear
ance is not excelled by any other animal
of the horse kind in Bellefonte.
—Messrs. Yeager A Downing set out an
elegant free lunch at their popular and
well conducted restaurant, on Allegheny
street, every forenoon which Is greatly en
joyed by their customers. Persons desir
ing meals can also always be accommoda
ted at resuonable rates. Their clam soup
on Tuesday was delicious and we know
that those who partook of it will want to
know when the next supply appear*.
—Mtllheim was quite well represented
in Bellefonte on last .Saturday. F. P.
Museer, 'Squire Reifsnyder, Michael IH
rich and Charles Albright, were among
those whom it was our pleasure to meet.
They were interested in the contested elec
tion case of Reifsnyder against Musser for
the office of justice of the peace. Testi
mony in the case was on that day taken
before H. A. McKee, Esq.
—The proprietors of the Brockerhoff
House have placed an elegant new hotel
register upon their office counte;. It was
made by Mr. F. L. Hatter, of Harrishurg,
and is a very beautiful and substantial
specimen of blank book manufacture. Mr.
Hutter makes frequent visits to Bellefonte
after orders in his line of business, and
persons having books to bind, or desiring
to have blank books made to order, cannot
do better than by entrusting their work to
him. fie is a reliable young gentleman
and will faithfully fulfill bis contracts.
—The Philadelphia Branch never per
mit* it* stock of elegant clothing to run
down. Full assortment* may always ho
found, and customers arc never disappoint
ed. Lew in knows how to provide for tho
wants of all.
A very enjoyable hop was given on
last Thursday ovening by Mr. Teller, tho
popular proprietor of tho Bush House. Jt
was quito largely attended by thu young
ladios and gentlemen of town, and parties
from Altoona, Tyrone ami Lock Haven
also graced tho affair with their presence.
Tho music was furnished by Fred Smith's
orchestra.
—The Centre Hall Hrporttr tells of u
cat belonging to Mr. John T. Lee, of that
piace, that recently gnvo birth to "three
kittens grown together at tho under hind
part of tho body." This is certainly a
Btrango freak of nature, and tho Rr/mrter
adds that "tho triplets have perfect bodies
and members and seem moro lively ihun
another and remaining one of the same
litter."
—Vennor predicted that June would be
warm to tho eleventh and cold from that
date to the twentieth. He was slightly
mistaken. The cold snap came a week
previous to tho tiino stated by the great
prophet. His predictions for the balance
of tho month are as follows : Frosts on the
twenty-second and twenty-third, and from
tho twenty-fourth to the twenty-sixth very
hot weather.
—Chester Munson, treasurer of the
Philipsburg Water company, ha i-ued a
call for tho payment of an instalment of
ten per cent. ujs>n tho amount of stock
subscribed by stockholders. Prompt pay
ment is desired in order to avoid delay in
securing the charter of tho company and
the prosecution of tho works. It is <-x
--pected to have the works completed by the
first of September next.
—The sermon delivered by ltev. John
Hewitt, of the Protestant Kpiscopal church,
of Bellefonte, before Gregg Post, (i. A. It .
on Sunday the 2*Jlh of May, will b found
on the second page of this week's iuc of
the I>r.\io. HAT, under the caption of "Ma
hariaim.' Our readers will find it an able,
eloquent and instructive discourse. It was
exceedingly appropriate to the occasion
that called it forth, ami tan bo read with
profit by every one.
Mrs. Barbara Weight, an aged lady,
died in Miles township on Tuesday - f !at
week. Mrs. Weight had passed her W>th
year, and we are Informed that insurance
policies on her life to tho amount of *lO,.
000 had been taken out in various simula
tive insurance companies in the State It
is not probable, however, that near that
amount will be realized upon the policies.
Possibly some of the expmtant le-m-li ,a
ries will be glad t get bark from the
companies tho amounts thay paid in.
—The Centre Hall }lrjjrirr give* the
following account of tho memorial wrticei
in Potter township on Decoration day
"At Sprucetown the day WM fittingly
observed in the afternoon, and an address
delivered by Col D. 11. Hastings. In tho
evening the ceremonies took place at Cen
tre Hall. Tho cemetery bad been set in
order and the graves of soldier* freshened
with new earth, and evergreens, and a
floral monument erected in honor of the
fallen ones whose bodies rest in other parts.
Tho four Sabbath-schools formed in line at
the lower end of town, and followed by
citir.ens marched to the cemetery, howled
by the veteran club of Potter, "preceded
bv tho bra band, with Col. A f'regg, as
chief marshal. After the flowers wore
strewn upon the graves, Col. Hastings de
livered an address. He spoke about half an
hour, but hts utterances were rich in fine
thought and sentiment.'
—A week ago, on last Monday morning,
a man named Montgomery Hrewer was
found dead in the mow of the Lloyd House
stable at Philipsburg. The Jmirnal of
that place says: "A coroner's jury was
summoned, composed of J. W. Jones, A.
J. Dress, John H. Howe, (}. \V Davis,
Isaac Shimmel and Thos. Holt, who de
ferred their verdict until a /*>*/ mortrm
examination was made by Drs. Allport
and Lytle, which revealed the fact that
the decased came to his death from a pa
thological condition known as heart clot.
Mr. Brewer has been a well known resi
dent of Philipsburg for a number of years,"
but unfortunately was addicted to the in
temperate use of strong drink. We sup
pose him to have been about fifty or fifty
five years of age. He leaves behind him
four children to mourn his sudden demise,
his wife having died several years ago."
—We have received from Baal field's Mu
sic Store, 889 Broadway, New York, some
thing in the way of a "'Ten-Cent Library
of Music," that fairly takes our breath
away. It is a publication that this enter
prising house has decided to issue every
month. (Subscription price, SI.OO a year,
Single numbers, lOcU. each), which is got
ten up in the same style and shape as any
other music, no matter how high priced,
and yet containing sixteen pages of the
most popular music for 10 cents. It is cer
tainly astonishing. The number which
has Just come to hand contains a five page
Lancers on Olivette, a beautiful set of
Waltsea which are very popular in New
York, called the "Amatori" a charming
new song of Danks, "When first I saw my
Darling's face," and another piece. Some
of the latest numbers contain the popular
Racquet WalU, Miss Thursby s Twicken
ham Ferry, Boccaccio March, Lardy Deb,
complete Potpourris on "Billee Taylor,"
and "Pirates on Peneanoe," which ordin
arily retail at SI.OO alone, whilst in this
case 10 cents buys two pieces besides.

-—Snow Shoe was the scene of a destruct
ive fire on last Sunday morning. The
property burned was the large and valuable
steam saw mill belonging to the Snow
Shoe coal company and operated by P. B.
Crider & Son. The fire occurred at about
o'clock in the morning and i* supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary.
The mill was completely destroyed. We
do not know the extent of the loss, but
there was an insurance of $2,600 upon it.
—What occasions so much traffic over
our railroads * Car after car rolls into our
station with their precious contents. On
many of the most firmly packed boxes
j may be observed the inscription "Sechler
A Co., Rellefonte, Pa." This is the secret.
Sechler \ Co.- keep the best groceries in
the market. In doing so they increase
trade, create a greater demand, and thus
benefit the consumer, and all to whom
they entrust the details of their businca*.
—The fifth anniversary of the marriage

them together was made one of great en
joyment and pleasure.

M KEENS. KMTOHS I have read James
(lilliland's "Historical Sketch of the Snow
Sfcoe Region." It is an interesting sec
tion of our county, and I am pleased that
we have two townships in Centre county
whose history can bo traced from the time
the first settler felled the first tree to the
present day. If a similar history could
be produced of the county east of the
mountain* it would be an acceptable book
to the preaent generation and gratify a de
sire long felt and often expressed.
I have often hoard ol Samuel Atkey,
the great hunter, and therefore read hii ad
venture* with much internet, especially the
"Raltleanake Den" anecdote. 1 have fre
quently heard of rattlesnake dona, but have
never met with any person who saw one,
and person* who have been a great deal In
the mountains are not disposed to believe
that rattlesnake* congregate In dens. I
make this reference to them with a view
to call out further testimony on the sub-
Joct. Kxuutiuta.
Gov. Ct'KtlN AT MONONUAHEI.A CITT,
—Gov. A. G. Curtin waa the orator at
Monongahuia City, Washington county,
I'ii., on Decoration Day, and delivered an
address to an immense audience which was
received with groat favor. Tho Daily Re.
publican, of that plaoo, says their city
"was honored by tho prose nee of its dis
tinguished guest, and on every hand ho
met the most onthusiaslic welcome." Of
the address delivered on tho occasion, the
same journal remarks that it "was elo
qucii*. forcible and scholarly—every sen
tence complete, each thought a study, each
sentiment a patriotic utteranco." The
Governor began by saying that "he was
not the orator for.lhl* occasion. 'The ora
tors of to-day sleep in yonder cemetery
and speak from tlmir grave*.' He review
ed the history of the war ; it had In come,
Washington, Jefferson, both the Adams
hud seen it coming in prophetic vision ;
Henry Clay wished to die before it should
come. He then paid a tribute to all who
bad contributed to the success of tbe war,
but, said he, 'your sinceresl homage is due
the private soldier, tbe man who carried
the musket and the sabre.' The speaker
then made u plea for je*ace; forget the
war, remember tbe crime ; forgive the
rebel soldier ; hate tho crime of tho arch
conspiracy; build monuments to brave
men, hut none to mark the place where
Greek met Greek ; let this he tho Deloa < f
the world. This was a land of jeace,
founded in peace ; William Bonn hud no
soldiers in his ccdony for its first 70 years ;
tho only emblem of authority was the
mace of the constabulary. Dedicate the
land to peace; welcome the coming of
emigrants so that our prairie may bear
wheal, at once tho crown of nature and
i the food of man.
<>ne of tho pleasing and appropriate
incidents of the day was the mark of af
fectionate regard paid to the old War
Governor by the representative* of tbe
soldiers' orphans' who made him the recip
ient of a badge and basket of flowers.
Tbe scene is thus described by the Repub
lican
"One of tbe most touching episode* of
i the decoration service* wa, when May
Rose made her neat little presentation of a
bodge, tbe grand old man, whose honor
able life has been almost one contiruous
ovation from the people h loves, recog
nized this humble little representative of
the soldiers' orphans, and stooping, kissed
her. It was a tribute that did honor to his
noble heart, and #j-ko more eloquently
than a thousand words. And when Jack
: King, in his manly little speech, gave the
'! wer bakei to the Governor, he recog.
! nized that manhood by a respectful prasp
|of the hand, greeting him with as much
j deference as he could have paid to an Km
;--ror The w hole scene formed a picture
j that will linger long in the mem >ry of our
|<eople.
! SraiNo MM.I-H ITKM- —I suppose you
i think I have forgotten you, friend editors,
j hut this letter will convince you to the
j contrary, notwithstanding.
I Our little railroad city is all astir. The
i>ark men are bringing in the products of
| their la-t m >nth's labor, and shipping it to
to the city. Bark j-coling has gt to be
quite an industry in this part of the valley,
j and also at Cohurn, the first station east of
! this. Bark is selling here at $7 per ton ta
cord if not too much dried out will weigh
j a ton' This is an advance of one dollar
! over last year s price. In some future let
j tor I will try to give you some statistic* of
the amount shipped from this place.
The grain in the eastern part of this
valley, say from about two or three mile*
east of Centre Hall down to the narrows,
at Woodward, looks very well, and gives
promise of a good crop. I wish I could
say as much for the grain of the middle
section of this valley ; and also for many
grain fields in parts of Nittany valley.
I see by last week's paper you had quite
an interesting occasion on Memorial Day,
in Bellefontc. Well, Spring Mills was not
behind her neighboring villages in honor
ing her soldier dead, At two o'clock the
few members of tho Veteran Club in this
place, assisted by the Millheim Odd Fel
lows, and a goodly number of citizens pro
ceeded to the George's Valley burying
ground, where they were joined by the
Ur.ion Sabbath-school of that place, and
there paid a memorial tribute to the grave*
of those of our Nation's defenders whose
remains lio within it* enclosure. After
their return they were met at Grenoble's
Hal) by the Spring Mills Sabbalh-school,
'and a large concourse of citizens, when
they proceeded to tho burying ground at the
Pre*bytorian church and decorated the
graves of the soldiers lying there. After
the decorating part had been performs*],
and they were ready for tbe addresses, the
threatening aspect of the black clouds that
hung overhead warned the people that It
was time to leave, and Revs. Tnmlinson
and Wolf wore lell with their speech** un
said. Rev J. Benson Aker* spoke at the
Georges Valley grave yard. The Farmer*'
Mill* Cornet Band furnished the music for
the occasion. James Kennelley acted a*
marshal and performed hi* part of the
work well.
Before I close, I would add that from
your candidate column, I le*rn that Spring
Mill* ha* a candidate (<fi the nomination
for the office of Register, vis : T. B. Jami
son. Well, I have known Tom for ranr#
than 20 years, and the worst I can say
about him D, that I hare always found
him a straight forward, honest, upright
man, and an uncompromising Democrat.
1 can recommend hlni to tbe voters of our
county a* a man well worthy of the nomi
nation. %•

THE LICENSE QUESTION.—At the last
term of the Clinton county court, Judge
Mayer delivered an opinion upon the
question or granting licenses to hotels to
•ell liquor, which we copy from the Clin
ton I)*nurat, a* a matter ol Information
to those who reel an interest in the subject.
law. uTI T rta ' U, " W l "
law. i* not generally understood and it is
clearly presented in Judge Mayer's opin
ion, which reads as follows :
It. V . hhaffer presented his petition to
the Court of (Quarter Hesslons, complj .
ance with the requirement* ol the Act of
Assembly regulating the granting of li
censes, and a-ks the Court to grant him a
license to keep a hotel in the Borough of
Mill JIAI). N
Objection* were made to the granting of
the license, and a remonstrance signed by
a number of resectable citizens raiding
in Mill J full and vicinity wan rjrcM?riU*d,
in which they protest against a license be
ing granted to the petitioner, for the fol
lowing principal reasons, viz : "They be
lieve the sale of intoxicating liquors to ire
wrong in principle and vicious in prac
licc. "1 bat there is no necessity for the
bouse. ' "And they have seen the evil
i fleets resulting heretofore from the .ale of
i intoxicating liquors."
Evidence was taken by d<qto*itions on
the partof the objectors and the petitioner,
which was read and submitted to the
Court \V e give lull consideration and
weight to the case, as it was presented, in
tho remonstrance and depositions, and
have concluded le put on record our rea
sons for the conclusion to which the Court
has come,
| To entitle on applicant to a license, three
i facts trust be set forth in his petition arid
certified to bv at least twelve reputable cit
izens of the borough or township in which
-ueh hotel is proposed to be kept
Ist. Thst the place propped to be
licensed is necessary to accommodate the
public arid entertain strangers or travelers.
-d. 1 lial the applicant is of good repute
for honesty and temperance.
•id. That he is well provided with the
| necessary bed-rooms and beds for the ex
elusive use of travelers.
Those p-erequisites of the act of assem
bly having been complied with, tho appli
( ant ha- made out a prinm facie case*.
Then the duty of the Court attaches,
which is to determine from evidence or
i p< raonal knowledge, after an examination
into the merits ol ear h particular applica
tion, who shall have license and who shall
not.
Erroneous opinions prevail in regard to
the power and duty of the Court in the
matter of granting or refusing licenses,
"-one maintain that it is obligatory on the
Court to grant every license where* the *p
plir ant has conformed to the provisions of
the law, as to the terms of his application.
• Mhers contend that as "the sale of Inloxi
rating liquors is wrong in principle and
vicious in practice, the Court is not bound
to grant any licenses.
Neither of th<-se opinions is maintain
able under the law.
To follow the former and grant indis
criminately ail licenses, would bo to dis
regard that provision ol the act of assem
bly which imjowes ujion the Court tbe duty
of exercising their discretion upon the
circumstances of each application as it is
presented, and grantor refuse the license,
"whenever in the opinion of the t'ourt
such hotel is or is not necessary for the ac
comodation of tbe public, and entertain
ment of stranger* and travelers.
To adopt the latter and refuse all licenses
would be an unwarranted assumption of
power, and a plain violation of duty. It
is not for Court to pass upon the propriety
or impropriety of granting licenses.
This is a matter which has been deter
mined by the Legislature, and as long as
the law authorizing the granting of
licenses remains unnq-ealed, Courts are
bound to administer it, but they should be
careful that they exercise the discretion
conferred Upon them by the ac t of assem
bly fairly and impartially in granting or
refusing them.
In the case o f Nr hlaudecker vs. Mar
hall, 72, I'a , M. Hearts, page 20i, the
Supreme Court hu laid d<>wn the rule to
be observed in the granting 0 f licensor,
which it in our duty to follow
C. •! Agnew, in delivering the opinion
of the Court say* :
"Whether any or nil license* should be
granted if a Legislative, not a judicial
que*lion. Court sit* to administer the
law fairly, as it i given to them, and not
to make or repeal it. The law of the land
has determined that license* shall exist,
and has imposed upon the Court the dutv
of ascertaining the proper instance# in
which the license hall be granted, and
therefore has given it to the Court to de
cide upon each case as it arise* in due
course of law The act of deciding is
judicial and not arbitrary or wilful. The
discretion vested in the Court is, therefore,
a sound judicial discretion, and to be a
rightful judgment it must be exercised in
the particular case, and upon the facts and
circumstance* before the Court, after they
have been heard and duly considered ; in
other words, to be examined upon the
merit* of each rase, according to the rule
given by the act of Assembly. To say
that I will grant no license to anyone, or
that I will grant it to everyone is not to
deride judicially on the merits of the case,
but to determine beforehand without a
hearing or else to disregard what has been
heard. It is the duty of the Court, there
fore, to bear and determine each case on
its evidence and lact*; to ascertain the fit
ness of the applicant, the necessity of his
house for the public accommodation a* a
hotel (and this involves the number of
each in the particular locality,) and to see
that the apidicant has fully complied with
the law, before his license can be granted.
This is a large discretion, and it to be ex
ercised primarily for the public good, and
secondarily for the private interest, and
this being the power and authority of the
Court of (Quarter Sessions, It the measure
also of their duty."
In the present case, the petitioner bat
fully complied with the act of assembly in
regard to the terms of hi* application.
There 1* nothing in the remonstrance or
depositions to impeach the correctness of
the statements contained In hia petition,
except a* to the necessity ol the house for
the accommodation of "the public. The
determination of this question mutt de
pend upon the weight and preponderance
of the evidence, which, the Court are
unanimous In their opinion, is on the side
of the petitioner. \t hether the evil effects
which are set forth in the remonstrance
will result from the granting of this If.
cense cannot be anticipated by the Court.
If such consequences should happen, tbey
will be considered, when the applicant
f. resents hit petition for a renewal of his
icense. We cannot assume that such will
be the case, and on that ground refuse the
license. It would be to condemn without
a hearing or evidence. The praver of the
petition it granted—all the judges con
curring. By the Court:
