Green's No. 1 and 2 Liver Pills.
—For want of dwellings, says the Jour
nal, many persons are prevented from lo
cating in I'hilipsburg. 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

—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

homestead, returned to their present home
at We*t Lebanon, Indian, to-day. Their

ANNUAL PU NIC or TIIEVKTKRAM CLUB
or CENTRE COUNTY.—AH announced in
the DEMOCRAT, of lent week, tint annual
re-union and picnic of tho Votoran Club
of Centre county will thin yonr bo held at
Spring Milia, on Saturday, September 10.
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. After theclosing
•cene on the grounds the committee had
•juite a j b in returning the things they
iiad borrowed, after which they ail return
ed to their respective homes. 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.
We expect to hoar a grand display of
eloquence a* J. M. F. has a new pall—go
In boys, I am keeping a sharp lookout for
you; if George M., is at your back you
will be looked after on all occasion*.

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."
