tinsel plaids and stripes in all shades and
effects at tho Bee Hive.
—An expert from Pittsburg succeeded
in opening tho safe in the treasurer s office,
. without damaging the lock.
—Business in the Clearfield post office
will be conducted by Mr. 8. J. Row, editor
of tbo Raftsman'* Journal , hereafter.
—The lecture of George Scoville, Esq.,
Guiteau's attorney, at Williamsport, on
"Modem Politics," is spoken of a* credit
able.
—Mrs. Dr. G. M. Swart/., who ha* for
some time been confined to her room, is,
we are sorry to state, not improving very
rapidly.
—Millheim enjoys the supreme luxury
of a Republican chief burge**. lr. 8. G.
Gutelius came out one ahead in a con
test with Mr. J. H. Kroamer.
—The improvement in the local de
partment of the .WITS and Rrpublitan l#
owing to the fact that Editor Tuten has
hold of the helm, in person.
Ladies coats, jacket*, dolmans, circu- '
lars and ulstercttes, in endless variety, ;
styles and colors, and prices lower than ■
elsewhere at 8. & A. Loeb's.
—Mrs. Edward Snyder, of Brnokrille,
Jefferson county, accompanied ky her son,
John, is visiting Centre county friends.
Wa wish them a pleaant time.
Mr. Conrad Lescb, one of Zion's best
citizen*, and most uncompromising Demo
crats, called upon us on Saturday and left j
with us some of "the root of all evil."
—Saturday was cleaning out day in the
court bouse. All the office* were nicely
scrubbed, and present a real clean appear
ance. Parties using the weed will here- 1
after expectorate no more on the floor.
—The delightful weather of Monday ;
coaxed our jovial friend E-quire Smith t<> '
try hi* hand at fishing. It i* needles* to j
say that "awry nibble at hi* bait was sure
to prove a bite."
Mr. M. 11. Haines slicks hi* pen into
the hair aro-md his ear, when weary work
ing upon the books of A. Je Morris, of
Tyrone. He Is a good a< cftntant, and a
splendid fellow.
—lf some of the foolish boys, who still
persist in jumping upon moving trains, do
not suffer severely for their indiscretion
then we sea no connection whatever be
tween cause and effect.
—Rebarsburg had a musical convention
last week. As to what progress any of
the students may have made we do not
know, but are sura of one thing, that visit
ing musician* were royally entertained.
—The boys have inaugurated the old
time game of "shinny." The warning,
"shinny on your own side," comes too
lata often time* to prevent one's coming in
contact with a body, small, but moving
with accelerated velocity.
—Mr. J. R. Bartroffhas broken ground
for the erection of extensive shops, on the
vacant lot north of the water works.
After his removal from hi* present place of
business the old shop wilt be removed and
a dwelling bouse erected in it* stead.
—Mr. W. Miles Walker, as commission
er's clerk, is giving general satisfaction.
Mo doubt his pleasant address and genteel
bearing will win him many friends, while
a thorough business training lit* him for
tbe duties incumbent upon him.
—An amusing feature of the varied pro
gramme on Tuesday, was the attempt of
many to keep their clothes dry, as they
faared the water might fade them. Yet
no one who patronises Lewin seemed to
care. Mo fade in any bought at tbe Phila
delphia Branch.
—That perfect baking and cooking stove,
tbe "Pioneer," is for sale only by Wilson,
McParlane A Co. All superfluous orna
mentation has been dispensed with to se
cure a first-class kitchen stove. For weight,
strength and durability It cannot be sur
passed. In purchasing this stove you are
not paying for nickle trimmings and beau
tiful finish, but you are getting what is far
better and what you need in a good cook
ftove—a good, reliable baker and cook.
—Dogs, in their conduct and manner*,
often resemble their ina*ter*. The othor
day a gontocl looking specimen of the
canine fraternity came ilowly down atreet,
and by tho furtive glance* he over arid
anon caat on each side, ho told that he
wa* a stranger. Suddenly three resident
dogs, in a body, turned a corner, and by
mutual agreement tho largest one flow
upon tho stranger and instituted a warfare,
compared with which tho battle of tho
U't pales, and so adroitly was the attack
ing Uend disposed of, and tho remaining two
pounced upon and severely chewed by tho
meek looking visitor, that in a moment,
as it were, ho wa* master of tho Held ; with
a look of conquered pride, caused by the
consciousness of having been a parly to an
act not at all commendable, ho resumed
his walk, saying as plainly, ns though bo
had spoken, "You never know a person
until you have travelled with him."
-UtMl the tlrraoia of rwollwtkm !
Many tilings recall the days of youth, that
time so fraught with cherished, pleasing
anticipation, and it is ever with pleasure
that wo cast a retrosjioctive glance to the
halcyon days when wo held one end of
the ropo that was dextruusly "jumped" by
tbo bevy of lovely little ladies, wbilo side
glances told in unmistakable language,
that some danger was to bo apprehended
from the possible tripping of one's affec
tions, as well as tho probability of tho
fair ones making a misstep. Sweet surges
of fond remembrance rolled irrcsisUbly
over our soul on Saturday as wo gazed,
enraptured, upon the animated scene in
front of tho rcsidenco of Mr. Cyrus Strick
land, and as a special request, we ask the
participants to favor us frequently in the
future.
—Tho annual entertainment given by
Gregg Post on the ovening of the 'JJ, con
sisted of an address by Major Frank A. M.
Krepa, of Pittsburgh, and recitations by
his son Walter, a bright, cheery little fo|.
low, whoso declamations of "Iloraliut"
and "Tho Chargo of the Light Brigade,"
were in tho best stylo of elocutionary
ability. Tho Major, in a perfectly eay
ami natural conversational manner, re
lated the thrilling and often time, humor
ous incidents of his long captivity, so that
even children sat through the evening
without apparent discomfort and in per
fect silence. AH who were so fortunate as
to get to the court bouse that evening were
amply repaid for tho effort to get there,
and we think if the Post could secure the
Major s services upon some future occasion,
in continuation of this story, the court
bouse would not hold the audience that
would ffock to hour him.
—Tho member* of Cornpnny B, X. O.
P., of tbi* place, desiring more room in
which to spread themselves, have, by re
moving partitions, tearing up platforms
etc., doubled the size of the old armory,
and now havo one of the handiest and
finest room* in the Slate. This organiza
tion is the <1 'Wer of regiment 5, to which
it belongs ; and by gentlemanly conduct,
proficiency in drill, excellent condition of
arms and uniforms, and implicit obedience
to orders, they always rank high during
encampment, at Brigade headquarters. The
improvements were made by therompany,
and paid for with funds from its own ex
chequer. \\ o should be pleased to extend
this notice, but lime, over drill master,
yells "order arms I " and down g<*' our
quill.
—Tax collector* a* a class are by no
means universally loved. The very nature
of their business render* them obnoxious
to some, and that collector, who ran in
duce the people to p>ay up promptly, and
at the same time gam and retain their
good will deserves no small amount of
credit. Mm. 11. Miller, collector, em
ployed by the Spring township school
board, is one of tho few. So gentlemanly
I* he in the prosecution of hit work that
the majority of tax payors consider it a
privilege to setllo for the amount owing
by them, when they can do so by taking
Mr. Miller's receipt.

—The Rrpuhliean wants to know wheth
er Mr. Olie Meek, the newly elected
member of the school board from the
West ward, wbo is a Democrat, and will
fill tbe place vacated by Mr. Wm. Mills,
will tako especial charge of the colored
school, or not. That tbe school referred
to will be properly taken care of we do
not doubt, inasmuch as the proper training
and educating of tbe colored youth of oar
town is a matter of no little importance.
But why tingle out Mr. Meek as one
specially duty bound to spread over them
tbe protection of bis official wing 7
—Beecber speaks: What a pity flowers
can utter no sound I A staging rose, a
whispering violet, a murmuring honey
suckle, oh I Lewins says : "A comfortable
coat, a fitting vest snd properly made pair
of trousers. I have 'em, come and see."
Ab f
—-The injunction granted some time ago,
•I Lock Haven, to Miss Clara V. Milliken
restraining her trustee, Mr. •lames Mil
liken from making any disposition of
funds in his possession belonging to her,
was argued before bis Hunor, .Judge
Mayer, on Monday evening. Kinirient
counsel, Hoy and lilanchurd* for plaintiff,
and Heaver .V Gepbart, Judge Linn and
K. W. Woods for defendant, has been re
tnined, and in alt probability the Supreme
Court will b<t called upon to decide tho
legality of tho deed of trust now held by
the defendant. Tho lofty position held by
all tho parties concerned, as well us the
amount of money involved, attracts the
attention of all, and wo doubt whether
such another assembly of wealthy, impor
tant gentlemen was ever seen within the
confines of Centre county's court room, as
met there on Monday Inst.
—Young lady, remember that, even
though you may be able to smile more be
nignly than she, and have been promoted
to the dignity of a bang arliOcier, parlor
lounger, piano thumper and questionable
novel reader, that Ar, your mother, the
power behind the throne, spent sleepless
nights in watching over, and raring for
you, lias worried herself in having you
properly attired, and at all times present
able, is entitled to your sincere respect;
never snub her, never cause her dear old
heart to arbo on account of any flippant
remark, or unlady-liko slight, licr's is
tho only truly disinterested friendship,
that will ever bo yours, and the love she
lias for you is as boundless as space, and da
what you may she will never discard you.
Treat her not as an inferior, or an equal,
but as a superior and you will bo happier.
—The Supremo C'eurt of this Stat", sus
tained the decision of tho lower court in
tho case of Spangler vs. Kune*. In the
matter of the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany vs. Thomas MtQuilleii and wife, the
decision was reversed. In the latter case
action wo* brought to recover tho value of
a sewing machine sold to Mrs. Thomas
McQuillan by one of the company's agents,
and the case has been looked upon at one
of rather a test nature. This rendering
settles finally the fart that a woman s note,
taken in payment for a sewing machine,
does not hind her husband.
—Tho concert, or musical entertain
ment, given by Prof. P. 11. Mover's sing
ing class at Penn Ilali, on the 18th ultimo,
fully satisfied all who wero present. We
heard the comical "Spelling Bee," as sung
by Misses Clara (seise and Susie Hosier
man, and C. C., and J. S. Meyer, especial
ly spoken of as being good. Many others
deserve notice but space will not allow a
more extended summary.
—Mr. A. W. Kinsloe, of the CTin/n
ItrfiuHiran, visited Bellefonte on Tuesday,
owing to the fact that business called him
here, he could not spend with us as mueh
time, as he desired. He is a lire newspa
per man, wholly devoted to the interests
of his paper, and an exceedingly compan
ionable gentleman personally. The solid
appearance of everything in and about
our town surprised him not a little while
a short ramble over our many hills b de
clared to be a delicious morning exercise.
Call often.
—Something should be done with those,
who will, after having repeatedly been re
quest'd not to, for nearly a square, arrange
themselves in lines along the sidewalk,
after the services at church are over. It
is exceedingly embarrassing for ladies to
have to run this gauntlet of hard cheek,
blooming noses and bleared eyes, particu
larly when unattended.
Mr. Hayes Bchroyer, at one time city
editor of the Daily Nines, and latterly fore
man of the Rr)>uhhran office, has accepted
a position in an express office in Lancaster
He is to receive a good salary and with
out any doubt will like hia new work, as
well as be liked by the company by which
he is employed. Mr. Bchroyer it one of
Bellefonte's most promising young men
and we are aorry to lose him. •
Mr. Thomas Weaver, of Bpring town
ship, one of the best of our many good
teachers, has been engsged to learh the
school lately resigned by Mrs. J. J. Jodon.
Thomas understands fully jnst what is
needed, and better still, is qualified and
willing to do the work.
—The summer term of Penn Hall
Aradomy will begin on Mopqdf, April 17,
18*2. Lewis Reiler, A. iT, principal, is a
teacher of acknowledged ability, and a man
in every respect worthy to succeed Prof.
D. M. Wolf, the former principal. Be*
advertisement elsewhere.
—Bellefonto Is promised a book bindery
in the near future. The gentlemen having
the matter under consideration ara per
sons upon whom the public can depend,
and men in every way qualified to become
desirable acquisitions to our force of excel
lent business men.
—On next Monday Prof. Bamuel Jack
ton, proprietor, and Charles Van Horn, an
employe of the Cheater pyrotechnic works,
will appear In Cbeeter county court to
answer to the charge of the coroner and
bit Jury of criminal carelessness.

IIUMUUUOEH AOAIN.—I raw so much
said about the merits of Hop Hitters, and
my wife who wa> always doctoring, and
never well, teased me so urgently to get
her some, I concluded to be humbugged
again ; and I am glad 1 did, for in less

wife was cured, and she has remained so
for eighteen months since. 1 like such

—Two lumbermen, who vainly endeav
ored to play cock-of-walk, were most gen
laely and rather hastily escorted to that
damjiener of over-healed imaginations—
tho borough lock-up, on Tuesday evening,
by the police, assisted by a number of citi
zens. Nothing in the world is as effective
in the removal of bad whisky, when takes
in two great quantities, as an hour or two
in the little house under the hill.
—There is every reason why those gro
cers who are particular to keep clean store*
and a fre*h stork of goods should receive
the patronage of all. They spend their
time and money for the benefit of the pub
lic and the good appearance of the town.
They take pride in keeping a fine eut
liebroenl. (If Ibis kind is the grocery

there can not but he satisfied.

| Mr. 11 has had much cxf-erieneo in busi

the public intelligently and deal with cur-
lomers squarely and satisfactorily.
—Do not fail to bear the queen of alo
j rutionists—Miss Laura Keller, of Lock

than a bird can fly without wings.
Kmanuel Foils, of Walker township,
Juniata county, was fined $2 u0 and costs,
for cutting the tails off, up to, and Into
the backbone of two hoga. Erehnnpt.
Why, was the crank not given five years
in the penitentiary ?
—One of the reasons why a side-saddle
resembles a four quart jug is because it
holds a gal-on. Now, what is the differ
ence between a butcher that trusts for his
meat and the man who use* "Green's Com
pound Byrup of Tar. Honey and Itiood
root t" One loses flesh and the other
Rfins. _
—The County Auditors have again been

—Persons who keep first class good*
always advertise. For instance, Harry
Green keeps the very best cigars ; and so
ho is proud of that fact, he advertises for
everybody to come and buy them.
Mr. Simon Hreidenbacli, speaking of
his physical strength thought he would
soon be as strong as a lion, because he ex

Tiir. Philadelphia J'rrtt, in speaking of
the Pbila'ielphia election says: "The
contest of last Tuesday wa* between two
definitely marked parties—the Itefor
liters and the adherentaof the machine,
and the Kefortners won the day. The
party distinctions which are useful and
neees-ary in a National or State contest
only confuse and mislead when applied
to such a case as this. It was simply a
struggle of the taxpayers and househol
ders of a large city to rid themselvea of
a jrf'litiral incubus which was devour
ing their snbstance and acting in open
defiance of the popular will. A close
c<it)>ration of professional fioliticiana
had entertained themselves in our City
Government. By a judicious distribu
tion of patronage and plunder they
were able to maintain themselves in
control of the machinery of loth the
great political parties and to us* either
or both of thetn fur their own aggran
dizement. As long as no organized ef
fort was made inde|>en<lent of the regu
lar parties with the single purpose of
securing good government, the jieople
were helpless and could onlv periodical
ly express a preference for what seemed
to le the lesser of two evils. The Com
millee of One Hundred furnished the
long coveted opportunity to strike at
the King directly, and, measured by the
success already achieved, the extinc
tion of boss rule in this city seem* to be
not very far off."
Th* Denver Tnlnnr print* a sketch of
the career of John Flinn. of the edito
rial staff of the Chicago AVsas, who baa
just ix-en appointed Consul to Chem
nitz, illustrative of what determination
can accomplish even when had babita
doomed a man to irredimable ruin :
"Two years ago Flinn was a reporter in
St. Joseph, Mo. His habit* were very
dissolute arid he was generally regarded
as an undesirable character to have
around a newspa|er oflice. One day he
msrned a very pretty St. Joseph girl ;
the gir '* parents refused to recognise
the marriage and kept the girl locked
up at home till Flinn promised to give
ber up. Fiinn wound up bis career in
St. Joseph by getting uproariously drunk
and being immured in the calaboose,
from winch he contrived to make hia
esca|>e between two days. He made his
way to Chicago and, once there, deter
mined to brace up and lead a respecta
ble life. He spent a brief season at an
inebriate asylum and then entered the
• mploy of the Chicago A.Vrmng AVspa, at
that time a struggling institution. His
flue abilities soon asserted themselves,
and step hy step be fairly won bis way
to the editorial control of the party.
Then he went back to Bt. Joseph, claim
ed hia young wife, and she was restored
to bim amid tbe congratulations of all.
Now he ta appointed to the foreign
Consulship, and there are none who will
not rejoice in his good fortune."
Kitdeb through ignorance or partisan
mahce tbe repubhean organa persist in
repeating the charge that the supreme
court of Tennessee has delivered a de
cision which repudiates the state debt.
The Nashville Baa ner thus briefly ex
plains the financial effect of this much
abused and much misrepresented deci
sion. "The creditor* in their magnani
mity agreed to reduce the interest one
half if the coupon feature was attached.
The legislature said yea. hut the supreme
court says no. The bonds are still out,
ami drawing six per oeut. interest, and
instead of 100 3. tbe state is reponaible
for 100 6." The debt is not only not
repudisled, but it was not even celled
in question by the supreme court. The
plan of settlement adopted by the legis
Isture with the approval of tbe crnii
tors of Tennessee was alone before tbe
court, and that plan was decided un
constitutional. The results are, thet a
new plan of settlement must be adopted
and that the debt question will become
an exciting issue in tbe next campaign.
In the oonflict over the debt the repub
licans may he depended upon to take
whatever side thev can turn to partisan
advantages as in Virginia. In the mean
time tbe "honeet money" republican
organs, in remitting their alarm over
repudiation in Tennessee, may contem
plate the aituution in Virginia, where
the readjuters, through their aid and
encouragement, have (a-en able to pa
an act repudiating outright one-third of
the state deht. When they have duly
considered the result Produced in Vir
ginia by the disreputable republican al
liance with Iho Mahone r.-pudiatnrs,
they will have few team to shed over
Tennwwee.

TIIE Ulioilliztll COMJITION or THE EE
ilJll.Kals IN TUE illtSE.
W ABIIINOTON, February 28,—Tbe ap
propriations committee talk confidently
of ru bing the diplomatic and Indian
bill* through the house, but unless more
energy is shown than baa marked the
proceeding, thua far. the bill* will drag
along indefinitely. The democrat* have
about made up their mind* that nothing
of eonaerjnet will he done at thi* se
sion outside of the necessary appropria
tion bill*. Mr. Npringer aay* that tiie
calendrr* aie already gorged, and that
no bill* not reported have any living
chance. He think* f>ngres will do
nothing but para appropriation bills with
plenty of money in them. Another dem
ocrat says it | a a f e ( 0 propheiy that
nothing of consequence in general leg
islation will be accomplished. Thia in
ability ia due partly to complicated rule*
which hamper progress Hll<| contribute
largely to jealousy atucng the rival lead
en, of the republican*. The majority'a
unfortunate organisation of the house
ha* resulted in what i* almost a | araly
ration of business. Scarcely a single re
port from a committee ha* been tali fled
by the house. Never was |there such a
lack of those parliamentary leader* of
whom lllaine spoke yesterday. The
democrats are much better organited,
especially for the purpose of defense
and obstruction. The indefinite jew
ponement of the tariff commission hill,
by consent of the ways and means com
mittee, is a good illustration of the
a pat hy and Jack of method which pre
vail.
