year ago.
—Our boat club is to be a permanent

linished, and highly prizod by tho mom
berg of the club.
—Mrs. Bond Valentine, who had been
at Ocean Grove in quest of renewed vigor (
died at that place on Friday, 25tli instant.
Although Mrs. Valentine was known to
have been in poor health for some time, no
ono thought she would be called away so
suddenly. The news of her death surpris
ed her many friends here at home.
—The initial number of tho Bellefonto
Y. M. C. A. Bulletin will be issued from
this office early next month. The origina
tors and conductors deserve a liberul sup
port and we have no reason to doubt the
ontire success of the undertaking. Ad
vertising space, which is valuable, is being
rapidly disposed of to merchants and oth
ers.
—A physician says it's unhealthy to run
up stairs. That's so. Look at the hotel
porter. He is a picture of health and
strength. He docs not run up stairs, nor
anywhere else. Not by a constantly in
creasing majority he doesn't. If you
will persist in running up stairs, however,
do so with one of Harry Green's cigars in
your mouth.

have been received for distribution.
—Ail is activity in the theatrical world.
Theatre managers have ordored their an
nual supply of brilliants and the season
promises to be one of the most delightful

be called upon to contribute her share to
fill the depleted wallets of somo of the
"stars,which will be all well enough if
you can afford it; remember, however,
that you and your family must eat, gro
ceries must be bought and paid for, and to
meet this demand Mr. Hammon Sechlor,
whose place of business is in the Bush
House Block, has largely increased his
stock of elegant fresh groceries, fruits,
meat and goodness only knows what all.
Pay him a friendly visit, whether you de
sire to purchase or not, and, our word for
it, he will treat you kindly.
—With profound regret we chronicle
tho death of Mrs. Kezia Van Ormer, of
Mililintown, Pa., mother of our townsman
Mr. J. N. Van Ormer. She had lived 70
years, ft months and 4 days, and up to
March 1880 had enjoyed continuous good
health, when an attack of paralysis con.
fined her to her bed from which she never
arose. During this long and trying illness
she evidencod that resignation found only
among thoso who are true beliovers in a
practical Christian philosophy. Her life
was ono of constant uninterrupted devo
tion to those she loved, whoso loss can
only be fully realized by the many who
have followed the rumains of that dearest
of all dear friends—a mother—to tho silent
city of the dead, and there bid it a linger
ing final adieu. Tho obsequies, on Sun
day, were conducted during a drenching
rain, rendering, all the more impressive
tho solemnity of tho occasion. Nino chil
dren were entrusted to her care, all of
whom survive her, and attended the last
sad overtures of kindness paid \o mortals.
Of these tho eldest is 57 years of age and
the youngest 29,' some not having met for
15 years, until summoned to surround the
last resting place of her to whom they all
applied tho endearing term "Mother."
Dear friends, even though tho separation
be painful, remember she has only journey
ed hence shortly in advance of us, and
will anxiously await the coming of each.
—Our best teachers agree in saying that
a well organized and impartially conducted
system of " rewards " or " merit marks "
in the school-room is productive not alone
of much good but renders the work con
nected with teaching much less arduous
and a very great deal more interesting.
Pupils will attend more regularly and be
present more promptly if they arc given
to understand that their effort is appreciat
ed, and we know of no better method of
recognizing the honest desire of boys and
girls than to institute a regular, perma
nent code of regulations combined with
adequate remuneration for faithful per
formance of duty. In this connection we
desiro to direct the attention of our educa
tional friends to "The National Bank of
Education," a new system of merits and
money combined. Among other advan
tages that might be enumerated we men
tion, its novelty, it will secure punctual
attendance, it will cultivate habits of
cleanliness, accuracy and industry, it will
assist younger pupils in obtaining a know'-
edge of the relative values of numbers,
etc. The author, R. W. McKee, Baldwin,
Pa., to wbom all letterg of inquiry should
be nddressed, is desirous of placing the
"Bank" in every school in Centre county,
and will promptly reply to all business
communications.
—With a sigh of relief wo herald the
announcement that hoops, not the ones
used to keep barrel staves intact, but the
sort that has rendered lovemaking a nui
sance and fortilied maidens fair so lung,
are about to be discarded, at least so says
Madam La Mode whose dictates, in this
case, will be obeyed with wonderful alacri
ty and unanimity. But, ah, yes! but men
must needs continue to adorn their beauti
fully formed lower extremities with pan
taloons so tight that to sit down moans to
endanger tho cohnsiveness of their several
constituent parts. Now, tho kind Lewin,
proprietor of tho Philadelphia Branch,
whose clothing hus been tendered compli
ment after compliment, soils will not rip.

—Wo itro gla.l to bo iiblo to state that
the unpleasant news a(I out last winter re
garding the absence, from his home, of
Mr. Geo. C. Peifer, of Howard, bin been
proven to be utterly without foundation.
On Thursday of Inst week Mr. Peifor's
mother received a ling and affectionate
letter from him, enclosing a newly-taken
photograph which shows hirn to be in good
health and spirits, and giving an entirely
satisfactory explanation of his long silence.
The DEMOCRAT had good reason to doubt
the authenticity of tho stories at the timo
they were circulated, and takes pleasure
in giving this explicit und authoritative
denial of them.
—Woflesiro on behalf of Messrs. fcj. &
A. Loeb to call tho attention of buyers to
tho following facts regarding their busi
ness : The house was established in 1862
hence is .one of tho oldest in tho county ;
they deal in everything, and have made
every line of goods a specialty,—hence are
able to accomodate all at reasonable rates ;
their salesmen aro, genteel and obliging;
nothing advertised by them is ever want
ing when asked for, their motto is " Live
and lot live," and they honestly endoavor
to carry into actual business practice tho
theory it teaches, and they are fully alive
to the interests and necessities of their
customers.
—Mr. Joseph Sweyers, an aged and
much respected citizen of Howard bor
ough, was called to his long home early on
Sunday morning last. Mr. Sweyers' health
had been much broken for several years,
and although for this reason his death was
not entirely unexpected, his summons
came suddenly at tho last. He was about
his house and garden as usual on Saturday
and on Sunday was dead. Ho was a son
in-law of the late Sheriff Hall, of Miles
burg, and a brother-in-law of Col. James
P. Weaver, of Boggs township.

BELLEFONTE ACADEMY. —Tho schools
in the Academy huilding will begin on
Monday, Sept. 4th. Mrs. W. AV. Roberts,
who has been recruiting her health during
tho past year, will resume charge of the
A'oung Ladies' Department.
Mrs. E. M. Roberts will continue her
successful work in tho Primary School.
Mr. J. AV. Miller, who is favorably
known as a Christian workor among the
boys and young men of Bellefonte, wil'
assist in the male department. Ho ranked
high as a student in Latin, German and
the Sciences, and has proved himself a
successful teacher.
The school for writing, which is already
organized, is under tho direction of Mr.
S. T. Stephenson, who comes to us highly
recommended as a Christian gentleman, a
man of sterling worth and an accomplished
and success "hi instructor.
Tho Principal will take tho charge of
the Greek in addition to the English Gram
mar and Mathematical departments.
Four young gentlemen or young lady
boarders can bo accommodated at the
Academy on reasonable terms.
Pupils are requested to ho punctual in
their attendance at tho opening of the ses
sion, when the classes aro formed, that
they may recoivo tho full benefit of the
course. J. P. HUOHKS.
THE CURB STONE MARKET—A great
many of our citizens are finding fault with
those who attend the semi-weekly curb
market and offer different kinds of produce
for sale, saying the charges are greatly in
excess of what they should be and general
ly higher than the farmers ask merchant-'
to pay. Be this as it may it is evident the
venders on market morning are zealously
alive to their own interests and in their
anxiety to secure tho highest possible
price for every thing forget that customers
havo rights worthy some recognition.
As an institution of the town we have
nothing but praise and support for the
market, so long only however as tho par
ties evince a desire to deal equitably and
fairly. It happens sometimes that after
having offered certain articles for sale
and finding no purchasers, because the
prices were exhorbitant, tho stores were
visited and less in trade lahtn than had
jrreviwisly heen ashed in cash We do not
cure to summarize the different evils exist
ing and practiced, but would warn our
friends that in pursuing this course they
are really doing themselves an injury, and
predict tho possible abolition of the mark
et, which would bo a blessing to tho people
of town in view of all the facts govern
ing the ease.

Would save a poor sinner like me.
I wandered on in the darkness,
Not a ray of light id I see,
And the thought filled my heart with sadness,
There'a no hope for a sinner like me.
But then In that dark, lonely hour,
A voice sweetly whispered to me.

To save a poor sinner like thee."

Committee on Resolutions.
Ex-Qov. A. G. Curtin, in response
to repeated calls and hearty applause, ap
peared. Our Representative confined him
self to a recital of events in the councils of
the nation during the limo he has taken an
active part in the deliberations of that
body. Air. Curtin was possessed of tho
identical spirit that swayed the, feelings of
his neighbors and friends years ago, arid
seemed younger than lie has at any time
within the past ten years. He expressed
his determination, nnd invoked his con
stituents, to insist upon practical reforms in
the civil service; a revision of tho laws
bestowing government lands upon corpu
lent corporations, in preference to actual
settlers, and will urge obedience to tho
statute declaring lands ceded to railroads,
on account of non-performance of con
tract, the property of the general govern
ment ; he gave a graphic description of his
expericnco as a member of the committee
on the civil service, in which ho encoun
tered "My Dear liubbel;" told why he
prevented tho passage of a vote of thanks
to Speaker Kiefer, styling his action mere"
ly a tender of "good for good." To say
that the faithful, venerable and highly
respected public servant waschcered to tho
echo, will be stating only what is common
when he faces an audience.
W. U. Ilonsel, e?q., chairman of the
Democratic State Comrnitteo, being intro
duced, thought the grief of a defeated
Republican candidate for Governor would
bo materially assuaged by a residence
among Centre county people, in the shad
ows of our hills and along the banks of
our streams, enjoying the felicity of homo
associations and the companionship of life
long friends. This had a pertinent rele
vancy to the address of Gen. Reaver upon
his return home alter his nomination, and
the point was well taken. Our townsman
is the candidate of a convention of one
that assembled at Chicago, where ho mis
represented the expressed wishes of those
whom he was sent to represent; coal weighs
I'2oo pounds per ton when furnished state
officials at llarrisburg, and prior to the
reign of l'attison in Philadelphia, that city
paid the price of ono ton for 800 pounds.
Mr. llensol challenged Mr. Reaver to sup
port his own declarations in his letter ac
cepting the nomination, and said he
(Heaver) dared not fulfill the promises ho
made. The gentleman, who is rather young
in his appearance, but old in experience as
u political leader, writer and organizer,
created a decidedly favorable impression
upon our people. He is our authority for
the announcement that after the ballots
shall have been deposited and the anxious
inquirer questions "Watchman, what of
the night?" the answer from Demo
cratic heralds will be "All is well."
Gov. Curtin then escorted J. Hitnpson
Africa, candidate fop Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs, to tho front, who spoke only a
moment or two. A lengthy speech was
not needed, this man is near and dear to a
vast majority of our people who were satis
fled to bo ufforded the pleasure of seeing
him.
Tho Committee on Resolutions reported
the following which were unanimously
adopted :
The Democratic party of Centre county
do resolve,
Ist. That wo denounce the corruption
and the abuses of power that have for so
many years marked tho administration of
fiubllc affairs under the rule of the Repub
ican party and especially do we deprecate
the rulo of bosses, rings, and the practice
of the spoils system under which immense
sums of money are annually filched from
the pockets of tho servants of the people,
for the purpose of debasing public sonti
ment, and corrupting the ballot box.
2nd. That we demand reform in the civil
service of the government, and pure meth
ods of administration which can never be
cor roc ted so long M the present party, so
extravagant and profligate, remains in
power as is abundantly proven by an ex
perience of many years.
3rd. That we are proud to give our
hearty endorsement to tho nominations of
Robert E. Pattisen for Governor, Chauncy
F. Black for Lieutenant Governor, J.
Simpson Africa for Secretary of Internal
A flairs, Mortimer F. Elliott for Congress
man at Largo 'and Silas M. Clark for
Judge of tho Supreme Court, believing
that in them our State Convention has
given us candidates of eminent ability,
high integrity, and great personal worth
whose election to the important State of
fices, for which they are named will re
dound to the honor and advantage of the
people of Pennsylvania.
4th. That we cordially recommend to
the voters of Centre county all the candi
dates placed in nomination by our late
County Convention and ask for them the
earnest and hearty support of our fellow
citizens.
oth. That the course of Hon. Andrew
G. Curtin, our member of Congress, meets
with our cordial approbation, that his ef
forts to influence a Republican Congress to
reduce the taxes which unnecessarily op
press the people, his eloquent vindication
of the rights of minorities, and his faithful
efforts to secure tho passage of measures
intended to benefit the public, deserves and
should receive the approbation of the peo
ple* m , "
fith. That our representative in the State
Senate Hon. C. T. Alexander has proven
himself an able, learned and faithful rep
resentative of this Senatorial district, and
wo cheerfully say, that he is one who de
serves well of hig constituents.
A motion to adjourn was carried, when
great numbers flocked around the speakers
of the evening, shakfng hands and offering
congratulations.
The Pleasant Gap bund furnished music
for the occasion. This band is growing
better every day and fully understands in
fusing life into a political meeting.
Death of James Martin.
This excellent i-liriHthui man wan horn November
21, A. D, 18l. r # in Dauphin comity, near
from whence he moved to Centre county in 183 C
wh re he resided up to his death, which took place
Aug. lfltb, IRB2, aged 66 years, H months ami 22 days.
At the age of twenty years he identified himself with
God's people in the Presbyterian church of which he
was u consistent member until the dear Master said to
him, "It is enough, come up higher/' Hoi was a
goodly man, as his life always attested. He lelieved
in the necessity of conversion and holiness of heart
ami life and ever bore with him a living testimony
that God dwells with man in the power of his spirit.
The graces of love, meekness, charity and untiring
zeal found in him a rare illustration and while his life
was an eminent exhibition of a christian character,
his death bore etjual testimony to the christian's
triumph.
About eleven years ago the hand of affliction laid
hold upon him. His disease was inflammatory rheu
matism. The mirroring and pain this kind ami chris
tian man endured during this time no pen can de
scribe, yet in all the times we called upon him we
never heard him murmur or even express a wish to be
relieved of his severe affliction, hut endured it pa
tiently until the final summons was sent froin on high-
He leaves to tnourn his loss a widow ami six children,
ail of whom were present to witness his burial, except
one daughter, 3!rs. llarr, who resides in Montgomery
county, lowa. The funeral service# were conducted
by Rev. Sechrist, Lutheran miuister of this cliarge.
lie chose* for his remarks the flrst chapter of Phil.,
and the 21st verse, "For me to live is Christ, to die is
gain," from which lie delivered a very able and ap
propriate sermon. Rev. Haughawaught, Presbyterian
minister of Mill Ilali, spoke a short time at the grave,
his teninrka b*dog ably delivered, ami very impressive
upon the occasion.
The community has indeed lost a kind ami aflec.
tioiiute citizen. We sympathize with the family in
their sod lereavenieiit,bnt ho|a their loss is only his
gain. *
BOYS' BRANCH PICNIC.—The following
account of the boy's picnic we take from
the Daily -Veto# :
The day in the woods which the mem
bers of the Boys' Branch of tho A'. M. C.
A. took advantage of on Friday was fully
as enjoyable as was anticipated. The par
ty If It town in the large hack, the vehicle
being compelled to make the trip twice to
carry all tho boys, tho older members of
the party going to the grounds in tho cars.
Avhen tho last member of the party ar
rived, tho first question that saluted his
ears was "Is it dinner time yet?" and the
question was frequently repeated until tbo
viands were spread before the hungry
boys. The quantity consumed was enor
mous, but their appetites were sufficiently
appeased before all the good things had
disappeared, Hub Orbison and J. AV. Mil
ler being the only persons upon whom the
fnintest shadow of suspicion rests of not
having eaten enough.
Before dinner an appetizer in the way
of a game of base ball was indulged in.
Tho sides wore captained by Harry Green
and Hal. Orbison, respectively, tho game
resulting in a victory for the former by a
scoro of 16 to 9.
After dinher there was an exciting "tug
of war," twenty-one of the picnlcers on
either side taking hold of a long, heavy
piece of rope and tugging at it with "might
and main." AVe forget tho loaders of the
opposing factions in this contest, but it
was tho occasion of much sport as well as
of physical benefit.
Another diversion was a foot race in
which seven took part, Messrs. AVashing
ton Rees and James Hughes evincing the
highest running speed and arriving at the
goal in tho order named. More base ball
concluded tho active sport of the day.
On the way homo the tired but merry
party sang snatches of songs and cheered
for everybody, their good will in this re
spect being unreserved and their enthusi
asm boundless.
All are of opinion that a hack is the
most enjoyable means of transportation to
and from picnic grounds.
—lt is our unpleasant duty to note
tho death of. the wife of Dr. A. Hibler, of
this place, which occurred at two o'clock
on Monday morning. Mrs. Hibler had
been an invalid for long time, and suf-
at limes. She was reared
noar Ilublersburg, her parents Mr. and
Mrs. AVillower still reside there, Many
friends, to whom she had, by ber pleasant
and agreeable manner, become endeared,
will sadly miss her. She was buried on
AVednesday afternoon. Sweet be her rest.

posal of Postmaster Burrows, of AVil
