The public sale has other merits for there friend meets friend and debtor the creditor. Musical conventions also come in for their share of recognition, Centre county people are blessed with musical talents and they are not neglected. Singing schools are organized in most every town and school district which generally end up with a grand musical convention and an elaborate feast of song. The first of the season was held in Rebersburg, famous for its hospitable citizens and musical talented people The convention was held last week un. der the direction of Prof. P. H. Meyer, of Linden Hall, was largely attended and was a grand success in every par. ticular, This week music will reign supreme at an other convention at Linden Hall which will close with a concert on Fridayevening Jan. 4th. ~Mifllinburg is almost at a stand still this year, all on account of the weather. The reason is that the chief industries of the town are the manufacture of buggies and sleighs. A large stock of sleighs have been manufactured, but there is no snow—and consequently no purchasers. For the benefit of Miflin. burg, let us have a slide. On Friday evening Dr. Robert Aourse of Washington, D. C., will de liver the third lecture of the star course, in the Court House. The subject will be Dr. Jekyel and Mr, Hyde, and is highly recommended as a first class lecture, This course thus far has been of the best and all can feel assured of a rare treat on this occasion also. ~On Saturday evening there was some excitement at the rink occasioned by a little fire.

Killed by the Cars, Saturday afternoon, at about 2:50 o'clock, a team belonging to Mr G. W, Dickey, at Houtzdale, ran off in the di. rection of the milroad.

The building will be of brick, with two towers in front, large windows and is very nicely proportioned. The entrances will be through the main tower and at theside. The main audi- ence room will have pews in circular form with a gentle sloping of the floor to the pulpit. A novel feature of the in. terior is that the pulpit is placed in the corner with the choir in a recess to the right, It is claimed that by this ar rangement speaking will be much easier, To the rear of the main room is a small recom for Sunday school and prayer meeting. The building is well designed and if the architects plans are followed the congregation will have a convenient and handsome house of worship, Robert | Cole, of Bellefonte, is the architect. ~The new station is slowly nearing completion. The tracks are about all dowrron the west side and the platforms will furnish a fine place for an evening promenade, The interior of the station building is receiving the finishing touches and will soon be ready for oe cupancy. Much has been sald in regard to the new bufiding, most of which is very uncomplismsentary to officials and the company In general. The new building when completed will be a neat and cony little straeture, but for a town Beliefonte hus, it is entirely too small. The walting rooms in it wre barely as large as in the old freight depot and they were entirely too small for the passengers who gather in to wait on trains The traffic on this road is rp] idly Inereasing and will have to rebuild in short time to accommodate it.
