—Considering the inoxcusable behavior
of the weather in the course of the present

21, when it enters Libra.

of intere*t.
—An alarm of lire wa raised the other
day by the burning of the grass in the
back part of the yard surrounding the
residence of Mr. Daniel Khoadea on Linn
street. It i* not known how the grass
took lire. It was long and dry and of
course burned quite rapidly, but the llaincs
were stayed beforo they reached any of
the buildings. The only damage done was
to shrubbery and perhaps a few trees.
—When a person goes to u store to pur
chase supplies for the family, it is always
i a pleasure to tlnd fresh and pure groceries
! for sale. Where such are to be found you
will always see a rush of business. This
is the case at tho store of Secbler A Co.
They keep the best of everything and no
one is ever deceived or disappointed in tho
goods bought at this establishment. Make
a note of this fact.
—Tho Patrons of Husbandry, it vsill be
seen by a notice elsewhere, aro to hold
their annual picnic on the top of Nittany
Mountain on tho I.lth inst. These delight
ful gathering* of the farmers ol Centre
county and their families aro every year
increasing in favor, and those who have
never been present to witness the cordial
greetings on these occasions have denied
themselves a real pleasure, which we ad
vise them to enjoy at the approaching
picnic.
—The fruit-canning season is an impor
tant period in tho life of the housekeeper,
and as economy is always to he consider-d
, all housekeepers should know that sugar |
I boiled with an acid, if it he hut three min
utes, will be converted into glucose, which
is the form of sugar found in sweet ap
ples. < ne pound of sugar has as much
sweetening power as two and a quarter
pounds of glucose ; in other words, one
pound of sugar stirred into the fruit after
it is cooked and while yet warm, will
make the fruit a* sweet a* two and a j
quarter pound* addd while the fruit, i*
boiling.
—The strictures of the M'irn.ng .Win
upon tho proprietors of the Bedford
springs Hotel in relation to the treatment
received by the excursionist* who stopped
| there on Friday and Saturday last ar" en- I
lirely too severe. The gentlemen who run i
the hotel do not deserve the censure which i
1 i' heaped upon them by th" .Wir*. Aside !
j from a slight misunder.tanding in regard ]
, to the terms upon which the party was to
I be ent'-rtained there was no trouble. That
, difficulty was soon adjusted, and we believe !
j that all who remained until Saturday '
afternoon were satisfied with their enter- |
tainment.
—An exchange *ay : A d -ctor will sit
down and write a prescription ; time, five
1 seconds, paper and ink, one-fourth of a
rent, and the patient pays one, two, three
five or ten dollars, as the , ase may lie. A
lawyer writes ten or twenty word* "f ad
vice and gets from ten to twenty dollars
from his client. An-editor writes a half
column puff for a man. pays a man from
fitly cent* to a dollar for putting it in type,
prints it on several dollars' worth of paper,
sends it to several thousand people and j
surprise* the puffed man if ho makes any |
charge. Strange world, this.
—The ltepubliean county convention
will meet at the court house, in llellcfonte,
on next Tuesday for the purpose of putting
in nomination a county ticket to lie sun
*
ported by the party at the November elec
tion. The following candidates are an
nounced in the ReptMifttn: For Sheriff,
Andrew (iregg, of Potter township, and
Isaac Lose, of lioUcfonte; for lfegister,
Harry C. Williams, of Pbiiipsburg; for
County Commissioners, Hun on M. H pan
ics, of Miles, .John I. Kankin, of Belle
fonte, Christian Dale, Jr., of Bonner; Jno.
S. Holmes, of Marion, H. W. .Shipley, of
Unionville, J. B. Leitxell, of Gregg,
Absalom Musaer, of Haines, James Tur
ner, of Howard, Henry C. Campbell, of
Ferguson and George Taylor, of Miles
burg. There will no doubt be * contest in
the convention upon tho question of nom
! inating one or two persons for Commis
sioner, and the announcement of ten
names for tho position will probably cause
an animated struggle among the friend* of
the various persons named for the success
of their favorite*.
—On Tuesday last a new and improved
cooking range was placed in the kitchen of
the Bush House. This favorite hotel has
been doing a large business during the
past summer, and the Improvement* now
under way will give Mr. Teller additional
facilitle* to entertain hi* guests in a satis
factory manner. Tho now range just put
up was furnished by the well known and
popular hardwaro firm of Wilson, Mc-
Farlane A Co., and the finishing touches
to the Job were witnessed on Tueeday
evening by quite a number of gentlemen
who seemed to be greatly Interested In the
progre** of the work. Kyle McFarlano
manipulated a paint brush in away that
extorted unbounded admiration, while
Maj. Spiller applied the stove blacking in
a manner that showed him to be a genuine
artist ia tbat line of business.
PRAYER FOR THIS PRESIDENT.— On Sat
urday last Gov. Hoyt issued it proclama
tion to tho pooplo of Pennsylvania, invit
ing thorn to assemble between thu hour* of
ton nd twolvo o'clock, on Tuesday, tho
<>lh instant, for tho purpose of uniting in

tlcld. Tho proclamation of tho Governor
reads as follow* :
" In tho NO HI o und hv tho authority of
tho Common wealth of Pennsylvania, tho
people of Pennsylvania aro invited to as

Almighty God lor the restoration to health
und strength of the President of the G lilt
ed States and to invoke tho Divine aid und
blessing upon the Nation und State."
When the request of the Governor was
received at IJellefolito on Monday, it was
determined to comply with it by holding
a union prayer mooting in the Court House
at eleven o'clock, A. M ~ of the day named,
and Chief Uurgos* Powers issued a call for
that purpose early on Tuesday morning, a*
follows:
Proclamation. —ln accordance with tho
proclamation ol tho Governor, a Union
prayer meeting will bo hold this morn
ing at II o'clock, in tho Court Mouse, to
offer supplications for the recovery of the
President. I hope the place* of business
will bo closed and all who can will attend.
JOHN POWERS, C. 11.
Tho request of Chief Burgess Powers
ni"t with an earnest and sincere resjainse
from our citizens, and between tho hour*
named, on Tuesday, tho banks, stores, and
other place* of business were closed, and
for tho time being our street* presented
the quietness of a Sunday. At the ap
pointed time a large assemblage of ladie*
and gentlemen met at the Court Mouse fur
the purpose ol offering up prayer and sup
plication to Almighty God in this hour of
the nation * distrc-s, and the exercise*
w.-reof a peculiarly solemn and impressive
character.
The service was conducted by Ho v. Wil
liam Laurie, of lb'- Presbyterian church,
who opened the exercise* by requesting
the meeting to sing the 10" th hymn, from
"Gusjiol Hymn* and Sa< red Hong*,''

Aftr the singing of the hyinn, Mr.
Laurie read a part of the twentieth chaj>-
t"r of 'Jd Kings, a an appropriate lesson
for the occasion and then made an earnest
prayer. The if.'th hymn was then an
nounced,

Before the singing of this hymn Mr.
Laurie made a few remark* uj>on the pur-
I pose of prayer, and the spirit in which
| prayer should I*- offered on tho occasion
which ha l railed th" people together. The
! singing was followed bv prayer by Rev.

wa followed by Edward Humes, Esq. At
this stage of the proceedings Chief liurgets
Powers stepped forth with the dispatches [
announcing the progress of the train con- j
veying the President towards Long Branch
A deep silence pervaded the court room, '
and anxious solicitude was depicted upon
every countenance, as Mr. Laurie proceed
ed to read the words that had just come j
from tho wire*; and a sense of relief and i
thankfulness wa* apparent when it was
known that the journey was Iseing accom
plished so successfully, and with so little
discomfort to the illustrious sufferer. The
meeting wa* then requested to rise and
sing a part of the 61st hymn,

The benediction was pronounced by Rev.
John Hewitt, and the service closed. It
continued just one hour, and it* solemnity
mado deep impression upon all present.
THK DROUTII.—Never was rain more
needed than at present. The drouth has
been long, and the country has suffered
more from it than it has from the same
eauso in many years. Dry weather and
oppressive heat are tho complaint* that
come up from all quarters, and, next to
praying for tho recovery of President
Oarflold, we should have fervent supplica
tions fur copious showers to moisten
Mother Earth. In many sections tho
parched condition of the soil is already a
matter of serious concern, and people can
not help but regard with alarm the injury
that has been done to everything that
grow* in garden or upon farm. In many
places the supply of water is so short as to
causa real anxiety. Already there is suf
fering, and when water can be procured In
theee localities It la only by great labor
and inconvanlence. In our own section,
favored in some respects above others, the
corn and potato crop will he almost an en
tire fgllure, and this failure will of course
entail increased expense* for living upon
many who can illy afford to bear the extra
burden. Lowering clouds and refreshing
ruin* would therefore be n most welcome
visitation.
