—Dog days will end August 28.
—Call and examine tho furniture at tho
now store of A. J. Brown A Co., on Bishop
street.
—Neat, substantial suits at marvelously
low price* at the Philadelphia Branch
clothing house.
—As a means of inducing young men
to attend church, it is proposed to intro
duce lady usher*.
—The very best cigars within a radius
of twenty miles are those sold by Harry
Green. 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. Brown A Co.,
on Bishop street, is the place to obtain the
cheapest, neatest and most durable furni
ture.
—lt is said that a tea made of black
berry leaves is a sure cure for cholera
morbus. 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. The parents of
these children will experience the inevita
ble results in after years. They have only
themselves to blame.
—Only the purest materials are used in
the composition of Green's Liver Pills ;
they arc then carefully coated with sugar,
the No. 1 with white and and the No. 2
witt pink. 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.

—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

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. Port (.'raw- |
ford of the Huntingdon Monitor, ha* al- I
ready purchased a blue muslin coat, and
our own Hupley will have bis blue suit
washed for the occasion, and perhaps have
his plug hat re-laundried. 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 water ditch a vein was sturck at the

TIIK HTKRLINO COMEDY COMPANY.—
Some days ago it was noised about that
liellefoulu was to bo visited by u celebrat
ed theatrical company. Thn most diligent
inquiry failed to trace the report to relia
ble source, although flaming poster* and
exquisitely gotten up cards informed our
people that "The Sterling Comedy Com
pany" would tread tho classic boards of
Reynolds' Opera House, on Monday and
Tuesday evening* of ibis week. Mis*
May Robert* appeared to be tho bright
particular star of this mundane combina
tion. She was remorselessly butchered in
bad wood cuts and colored so as to resem
ble a Knmscatska maiden in full dress.
The fact that a strolling hand of players
were to invado our city was not in itself a
matb r of great importance, neither was it
unusual. Rut tho corning of "Thn Ster
ling Comedy Company" was heralded in a
most mysterious manner. In the first
place Van Pelt disappeared from town and
his whereabout* could not be ascertained'.
Suddenly ho was visible on tho streets,
and the burden of his conversation wo*
the surpassing excellence of "The Sterling
Comedy Company" whose fine acting he
said he had witnessed in Miliheim. Mr.
Van l'elt is renowned for his strict adher
ence to the truth. He is said to be a pro
found admirer of the memory of Wash
ington and believes in the hatchet and
cherry tree story. Under such circum
stances Mr. Van Pelt's endorsement of
"Tho Sterling Comedy Comedy" went a
great ways. Rut on Monday the truthful
Van Pelt was reinforced by Pierce Muts> r
He likewise took cpe< ial pain* b> inter
view all his friend* and inform them that
"Tho Sterling Comedy Company w*
really one of the most remarkable combi
nations on the road—to bankruptcy. The
generous puffing of then- two gentlemen
resulted in bringing a very fair audience
to the Opera Houn.' on )at Monday arid
Tuesday evenings. The first representa
tion essayed by this grand congregation of
stars from all the great theatres of the
world, was Victor Hugo's "Lucrelia Ihr
gia." Bellefonte was peculiarly fortunate.
It is seldom that an aodieme is treated to
a sight of a blonde I! •rgis, enveloja-d in a
Spanish mantilla. Rut this little idiosyn
crasy would have b<-en readily forgiven
bad it not been for tb legs of Lucre, s
lover. Of course any woman's lover wou'.d
have cut a sorry figure without legs
but Lucrelia is renowned f r In r g..<j
taste in choosing well develo|>cd men
both for immolation and pleasure This
youth, however, was evidently forg.dton
when well filled out ankles were {,*••< <i
around. 1I has a sort of sepuh hral hoh
that was undoubtedly fa'hioried to !• a
walking corpse. All the nni* these {*-. {.!<•
were murdering the English and
causing one to hope that Lucrelia would
poison the entire troupe, Van Pelt and
Peirce Muaser occupied front seats ani
fairly mad* the rafter* shake with their
applause. They were presently reinforced
by the imposing presence of Judge Wag
ner, who aired his capacious white vest and
enormous chest on one of the front seat*
The "Bankers Daughter" was crucified on
Tuesday evening and Van Pelt and Mus
ser are the cause of a good deal of first
class profanity. The pregnant question is,
what was the reaaon of the great interest
of tnese two respectable men in this mod
ern representation of the Venetian Bor
gia? II the original is not belied, she was
a very dangerous person. The great
French novelist and dramatist has neglec
ted to say that she wa* kisses] not only by
the genial suns of her own Italy, but also
by about the entire portion of the male
population of her kingdom. Can it be
{soMible that this interesting fait had any
influence upon the gentlemen above refer
red to ? Did they see in ibis white haired
Borgia any of the trait* of tho historic
murderess ? The question is respectfully
referred to that court from which there is
no appeal. Messrs. Van l'elt and Musser
will have no diffleulty in finding the judge.
It usually stays up at night o that there
shall be no miscarriage of justice.
TIIK ANAICRLTFRAI. SOCIETY. —The Ex

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.

may, therefore, fioint to it* broad page*
for evidence of it* torn* and doctrine.
\\ ith the nomination of General Han
cock for Presidency, it* editor renewed
In* relation* with tin* Democratic party.
No disappointment with tin* ideas of the
Republican party prompted hi* decision ;
but be saw that the manager* of that party
had made hostility to the South a condi
tion of continued membership, arid that
• ven the illustrious services of General
Hancock to the counjry had made no im
pre*.ion u|ioi> men who, without those ser
vice., would have bad neither country nor
party. Together, with hundreds of Thous
and* of others, the editor of "J'KOOKK** '
ih'-refore t'>k ground for the cause of
peace, patriotism, and reconciliation ; and
every subsequent hour ha* confirmed in
Inm the wisdom of his action.
The closeness of the |wipular vote in
when the Republican* tarried tho
'lay only by panic and tapital, and the
• mall majority in Congress, with hundred*
f thousands of office-holder*, forced to
Vote to keep their places, proved the JeiWi-r
! of the great party founded by Jrffsrson
