Although new houses nre going up in all parts of town, the supply is far from being equal to the demand. Millheim is to have a Lutheran church. Ground was broken for the new structure a short time ago, and when completed it will bo quite a handsome improvement to tho town. It is expected to put the building under roof this fail. —Mr. Henry Bollinger and family, of Millheim, have removed to Montana ter ritory with the intention of making their home in that far distant region. In Mr. Bollinger, Montana will receive a peace ful and useful citizen. —An exchange says that "the true way to advance another's virtue is to follow it, and the best way to cry down another's vice is to decline it." Just so; and the best way to get good groceries, provision*, etc , is to buy them of Sechler A Co. Mr. Jame* Geddns and wife, of Phil adelphia, aro among the guests at present registered at the Hrockerhoff House. They arrived hero last week, and the Hrocker hoff brother* have done much to make their sojourn pleasant to them. Mr. Ged do* expresses himself as delighted with Bellefonte and it* surroundings. —Tho bar-room of the Brockorhoff House will be one of the finest rooms of the kind in this section of the Bute when the repair* now under way aro completed. The wainscoting of while ash now being placed around the walls is one of tho pret tiest job* of work wo have ever seen. Joseph Fox, a skillful mechanic ha* charge of the work, and he is doing it in class order. —Notice was given in the churches of Bellefonte on last Sabbath morning that a Union prayer meeting would be held that afternoon in the Court House to offer up prayer for the recovery of the President. At the appointed hour a large assemblage met and a deeply lmpre*#ivo and solemn service of prayer wa* held. All present were profoundly impressed with a sense of fbe dangers which encompassed tho Chief Magistrate of the nation, and fervent and sincere were the petitions that a merciful Providence might find it in Ills wisdom to ward off the impending calamity. —Our esteemed contemporary, the Ilar risburg Patriot, recently spoko of Charley Hrelsford'* Circus and Menagerie, which it said was then exhibiting In the capital city. Mr. Hrelsford i well known In thin vicinity and hi* ordinary occupation wa understood to be that of a commercial tourist. Several of our merchants could testify that ho had sold them limns on sev eral occasions ; therefore there wu* some surprise expressed on the announcement that the genial Mr. Hrelsford hail changed his occupation. A little inquiry develops the tact that Hrelsford'* circus caine from Centre county. An innocent Individual from the Hald Kaglo ridges cutnc down here one day and sold Mr. Teller of the Hush House, a cub bcur, representing it to be three months old. Mr. Teller soon dis covered that instead of it being a cub it was really übout six years old. Ho looked over his list of acquaintances and concluded that Mr. Hrelsford was of just about the size to take caro of it. He accordingly shipped this old hear to him and wrote him a letter setting forth the comical parts of this "cub" and ended by presenting it to him. It appears Hrelsford was as badly taken in as Mr. Teller and had his "cub" on exhibition f<>r a long time in Harris bi.rg until tho sell was discovered. Hrels ford had once met a beur at English Cen tre, in Lycoming county, but the elevation in tlie tree he immediately assumed pre cluded iiis taking very correct observa tions ol the animal, hence his mistake. He hus sold out the show and is still in dicting hams on bis customers. Ftnic.—The dwelling house of Mr. Ttios. Shearer, situated on the Lewislown pike near Humes' mill, übout two miles from Hellefontc, was totally destroyed by lire at an early hour i n lat Tuesday morning. Mr. Shearer cannot account for tho origin of tho lire, hut thinks it mu-1 have been caused by a defective flue into which the pipe of the cooking stove passed. When first discovered the dames were so far un der headway that it was seen to he im possible to save the building. In fact the dre burned so rapidly that there was no time after the family hud been aroused ur.d the children removed to a place of safety to secure nnv of tho furniture and household goods that the burning stro ture contained. Mr. Shearer had an insurance of one thousand dollars upon tho building, but still bis loss is considerable and he can illy utTbrd to bear it. We are sorry this misfortune should have befallen him. —We learn that the I'nion Sunday school picnic near Pine crock school house, in Haines township, on lu-t Saturday, was a grand success. All the Sunday-schools of the township—six in number, namely, two from Aaronsburg, one from Wood ward, one from St. I'aul 4 church, one from Wolf- -. ho I house and one from Pino creek—were present in full force, and the day was passed in the most agree able manner. The arrangements for the occasion were perfect and the committee charged with the duty of making them deserve great credit and commendation for the successful manner in which they were carri>-d out. It is estimated that there were two thousand persons—men. women and children—BpM l||||lllllll4 and there was a bountiful supply of good things to eat. It was throughout a day of pleasure, ami all who participated in the enjoyment* of the occasion will retain pleasant memo ries of it for a long time to come. —The extensive improvements inaugu rated at the Hrockerhoff House are rapidly nearing completion. The sample room proper and the small room, to be used as a private apartment for the patrons of the hotel already have assumed shape. The private room is handsomely wainscoted in yellow pine whilst it* more pretentious rival Is wainscoted in the very finest ash A magnificent refrigerator, one of tho most elegant ever seen in Hellefonte, will add much to the general appearance of the new bar room. When these room* are completed we will give our readers a full description of them. —On last Saturday afternoon tho He brew resident* of Hellefonte assembled at the hall in the dwelling of Mr. A. .Stern berg for tho purpose of offering their prayers to Almighty God for the resto ration of President Garfield to health. Many of the merchant* of the town of that religious faith closed their places of businea* and look part in the solemn exer cise* of the occaaion. We have heard that the ervico wa* of an exceedingly interest ing and impre*ivn character. —Mrs. John Cheesman, a daughter f our good friend John Sweeny, of Pleasant Gap, and Misa Ada Sweeny, a granddaugh ter, who have been on a visit at the old homestead, returned to their present home at We*t Lebanon, Indian, to-day.

Tho Kxecutlo Committee of the Club mat on last Saturday afternoon, in llollofonto, hi tho ollico of Col. 1). S. Keller, urd the fooling aiming all prosont was that this annual ineoting should bo inudo one of the most successful that ban yet boon hold by the votoran* of tho county. Them annual meetings have boon growing in interest over since the formation of the Club, eight years ago, and a* each succeeding year comes around wo have a gathering of old soldiers and comrades-in-arms that seems to surpass in numbers atid in the general enjoyment experienced by nil present than any that have preceded it. The meeting last year MI Unionville was a remarkable success, in every respect. It was, indeed, a day long to be remembered by every one who was upon the ground, and the hxecutive Committee at the meeting of last Saturday determined that nothing should bo left undone to make Saturday, the loth day of September, IHK 1, at Spring Mills,a day that wilt bo fraught with noth ing but plmsant recollections for every veteran of the county to carry into the future. The main objects of our annual meetings, in the language of the card of invitation issued by Con. Heaver, on be half of the Executive Committee, are to revive and renew tho ties of friendship formed by soldiers with their comrades in-arms, and to enroll the veterans who have not heretofore joined the Club, with a view of securing, if possible, the mili tary history of every man who entered tlitt service from Centre county." So, you see, comrades, that beside* tho plea sure to bo derived from a renewal of old associations there is another object in our meeting that is not only highly laud able, but may become very useful. Tho military history of our soldiers will make an invaluable record, and for that reason we should strive to make it as complete a> jM s-ible, and we hope to see at Spring Miils this year tho names of a largo num ber of comrades enrolled upon the b >ok of the Club who have never heretofore had a convenient op|K>rtunilv to meet with it. PLEASANT GAP JOTTINO- —Thefestival is over. Financially and socially it was' a grand succ<--. An unusually large crowd •if people wore in attendance on Saturday evening. The refreshments were of the choicest kind and the people of the place tiave great reason to be proud of the | *l - they received. The chur. h m>m. ! bership is small ; but in time of festival the sinner - and laymen ail join bands ar.d for the time forget that there i- any differ ence between saint an i sinner, and strange ! us it may appear, the good saints do most cordially welcome tbem.

On the ultimo, they reassembles! at the house of the treasurer. We do not know what they were doing, but we heard a jingling noise as we passed the house while returning I home from our devotions at church. Dear Brothers, could you not have found some other time to fix up your accounts than Sunday afternoon. Just think, while the ice cream churner was oat performing his pastoral duties, you fellows at home set tling up your accounts. Just think of hereafter. It is amusing to hear our stalwarts talk about how they will carry the county this fall. All right, boys ; though you have the offered service* of a certain number of disappointed Democrats, did it ever occur to you that persons who cannot do any thing for themselves politically will not be of much use to any other parlies 7 The fight in the county will end just as it usual ly doe* ; you will come out behind. The weather is unusually hot and dry. Vegetation is suffering and many of our citizen* hare to haul their water. Some of our farmers are seeding; a little soon, boys ; you should not be in such a hurry. Those devilish hogs that ate Mr. Haag's tomatoes should he dealt with according to law. W have no Owl at the Gap, but we have a Hawk that is playing the mis chief with our boys. We will have peace and quietness now until the Granger picnic, and a little rest will do us good.

TIIK STORK ORDER ACT.— The law, passed by tbn Legislature at It* last session, commonly known as tho storo order act, went into operation yesterday. We do not know wluit tho effect of this law may ho in Centre county, but it is well enough for persons interested in its requirements to understand just what they are In order that all may govern thorn solve* according ly.

DF-NTRVCTIYB LUMBER FIRE.— From the Osceola RrrrilU, we learn that on Tuesday night of last week, at about nine o'clock, the extensive lumber yard of Mr. D. W. llolt, at Loch Iomond, two and a half miles below I'htlipsburg, on the Mo shanon creek was discovered to be on fire, and before the flames could be subdued twelve million feet of lumber w*s des troyed. The RrtvilU say* the Are "is sup }M)*ed to have been the work of an incen diary," and further says, that "most of this lumber was sold, and would have been in market had it been possible to get car* to convey it. The loss is estimated at $175,000, partially insured. This is a great loss to Mr. Holt, who is one of the largest lumber manufacturers in this re gion, and in fact, in the Bute. He is now compelled to buy lumber wherever he can get it, to supply the place ol what was sold, among the destroyed."
