Try them. —Our town is visited by quite a large number of our country people who are in attendance at court. —Ls win, at the Philadelphia Branch clothing establishment, has suits that will fit everybody. Call on him. —The new store of A. J.

As tho remedy is simple it may be worth a trial. —Vennor, the famous weather prophet, has accepted an invitation to attend the t meeting of the State Grange Association, to be held in Cumberland county. —The next annual convention of the State Sunday School Association will be held at Johnstown, commencing October 18, and continuing in session three days. —To many small boys, behind big cigars, on the streets at night.

Tbey should be kept in every household. —Considerable damage has been done in the Snow Shoe region by the late forest fires. The saw mill of George Trullinger A Co., narrowly escaped destruction and a number of dwellings in the same neigh borhood were also in great danger. Master Willie Doak, aged about ten years, a son of Kobert Doak, was danger ously burned about the breast and should ers on last Sunday, while trying to light a cigar with a match. The burning match in some way ignited his sbirt, and before the Ore was extinguished he received in juries* which it I* feared may prove fatal. —There is every reason why thoee gro cers who are particular to keep clean store* and a fresh stock of goods should re ceive the patronage of ail. Tbey spend their time and money for the beneflt of the public and the good appearance of the town. They take pride in keeping a fine establishment. Of this kind is the grocery store of Secblef A Co. Thoee who go there cannot but be satisfied. —Some one met Dave Wagner on the street the other day and told him Lucretia Borgia had been looking for him. This great histrionic student asked bit inform ant who she was. "Did she ever live with meT" he asked. A negative reply was followed by the question : "Is sh# white or black?" Thejedge had forgotten the historic prominence of the blonde Borgia whom he gased so intently upon on Monday evening. '] i M —Wo loam from our sprightly contem porary tho Daily Newt, that Mr. John Wilson, an honest and worthy citizen of iialfmoon township, was made tho victim tho other day of an enterprising sharper who appeared in that secluded neighbor hood to ply hit avocation, lie wont by the name of Churchill and llnding in tho pleasant and healthful residence of Mr. Wilson as a desirable place to spend the heated term without drawing upon his own private exchequer, projiosed to lease a plot of ground upon Mr. Wilson's farm on which to erect a creamery, and found a now industrial enterprise to enliven the monotony of farm life. Laborer* were employed to prepare tho sito and orders given to saw and manufacture tho neces sary lumber, in proper proportions for tho building to bo erected. This all being ac complished satisfactorily, it became neco*. sary for Mr. Churchill to repair to Tyrone to obtain tho necessary funds from hi* banker to moot expenses thus far incurn>d, and rc-emburse Mr. Wilson for some gen erous advances. Mr. Churchill* clothes being somewhat soiled by this time, and desiring to present a rcspectablo ap|>ear atico in Tyrone, Mr. Wilson with hi* usual kindness and courtesy, did not hesitate to accept a suggestion that his Sunday suit would lend enchantment to Mr. Churchill's outer man. This, too, was at his service, but unfortunately tho disguise became 100 complete—tho bank did not know him— ho was a stranger to Tyrone. In short, the enterprising Churchill got lost, and our excellent friend Wilson among other things, lost his Sunday suit. —From the journal of the tenth annual convention of tho Episcopal diocese of Pennsylvania, in charge of Bishop Howe, of Heading, tho following statistics are taken : Clergymen, including the bishop, ;•; ; parishes and missions, 126; ordinations, 6; of which one to the priesthood, candi date* for holy orders, 3; churches conse crated, 4 ; lamilies, 5,214 ; church accom modations, 27,804 ; baptised persons, 12.- 068; baptism", 1.180; of which l'.'T were adult; confirmed, 015; communicants, 7,(>64 ; marriages, 221 •; burials, 611; Sun day-school scholars, 10,163 ; Bible Has* scholars, 084 ; parish school scholars, 185 ; churches and chapels, 118; rectories. 42; school houses, 12 ; ccm-teries. 12.

It ought to be noted that in many of the items of this summary the re [>ort is only an approximation of the truth, many parishes having omitted t<> make any return. Bishoh Howe, in his address, besides diocesan affairs, discusses tho ac tion of the general convention ujon vari ous matters. —On Monday afternoon of la*t week we learn from the Millheirn Journal that a painful accident happened to a ten-year old daughter of Mr. Henry M. Swart*, living a short distance from that place. The Journal ssys, "Mr. Swart* war en- | gaged in rolling a log to hi* saw mill, the little girl assisting. The log had been rolled a short distance and then left run ning down a little hill itself. The girl stood up close to the log, which caught her dress as it started, and was thrown clear over on the other side. It seems that then the end of the log must have struck the girl'a face bruising and lacerating the one side of it badly. It is not known yet whether the eye is injure*!. The wound is I a severo one though not necessarily dan gerous.*' —The preparations for the coming print er's picnic will be on a scale marvellously grand, saith the Altoona Sun.

George Akers, if he attends, will have new buttons put on hi* shoe*, and the Volktfuthrer folks will all wear white neckties. —Here is a new plan for raising fund* at church sociables : The ladies write their name and weighton slip* of paper, and the gentlemen drawing the slips, each taking the lady whose name he has drawn to sup per, and paying baii a cent a pound ac cording to the weight of his partner. If the ladies should happen to overestimate their weight, it isn't considered a sin, as it is for the benefit of the church. —The eighth annual tri-state picnic of the Patrons of Husbandry will be held in Williams' Grove, in Cumberland county, commencing to-day, and continuing until the 2d of September. This place has be come the great annual revolt of farmers in this and adjoining State*. Last year the exhibition was attended by 40,000 people. Excursion tickets are sold over all rail roads. —The Sunday-schools of Haines town ship, of all denominations, will hold a joint picnic near Pine Creek school house, in that township, on Saturday next. Should the day prore propitious there will be a very large attendance, and it will, no doubt, to use the words of the published invitation of the committee, "be a day of joy and gladness." —•"Fence board advertisements," ob served an old farmer, "are well enough a* landscape ornaments, but If you are desir ous of purchasing an article It is easier and more convenient to look through the columns of a newspaper to see who ha* it for sale than it is to hook up a team and drive around the country reading fences." —What is ths Philadelphia Branch ? It is the place to buy the best gentlemen's clothing ever brought to Bellefonte. A SCHOLAR*IIIP TO TIIK STATE COL LKOK.—A few weeks ngo It WHS our pleas ure to publish the caril of Hon. C. T.

They speak in the highest terms of Mr. Lucas and are only sorry that they did not have two scholarship* to award. The following is tho re|>ort of tho Committee : RKLLKKONTE, PA., Aug. 20, I*Bl. HON.

CENTRE COUNTY AORKCLTLRAL SO ■ IETY. —The regular quarterly meeting of the Centre County Agricultural Society wa held in the Court House, on Monday evening. Dr. K. W. Hale, president of the society, in the chair. After the minutes were read and approved, various subjects, which {certain to the welfare of the Kiety and the success of the coming annual fair, were then taken up and discussed by Dr E W. Hale, \Vm. Shortlidge, A A. Dale, Clement Dale, Selh 11. Yocum, John A.' Daley, Win. Thompson and other*. The question of most importance to the society and the one principally discussed at this I meeting was how the proceeds of our an nual fairs can be made to exceed fbe ex {•onees, and thus enable the officers of the society to pay all the expenses and prem iums each year. The propriety of reducing the amount of premiums was considered, but it was finally decided not to materially alter the premium list from last year. It was sug gested by different members of the society that th admission fee l>e raised to fifty rents for adults, the fee charge*) by nearly all agricultural societies that are in good financial standing, but this move, which was one in the right direction, also failed, and it was derided to charge the same ad mission as heretofore. A motion was made and carried to give no compliment ary ticket* and to charge an admission fee to all except those holding life member ship tickets, and those having immediate rare of stock. The society then adjourned. 8. D RAY, Srcrrtnry. —Her. O. W. Fortnry, a brother of our townsman, 11. F.
