Shope, Henry How It Happened, Jacob Kepler, editor of the Tionesta Democrat makes the following explana | tion of the recent unpleasantness at Pine Grove Mills this county. He says: Some of our exchanges are so badly mixed on the little occurrence in Fer guson township, Centre county that a brief statement of the facts will not be out of place. On the dayin question two men drove up to the proprietor of this paper in Ferguson township and inquired | if these were the “Kepler farms.” The answer was in the affirmative. One umped out of the buggy, drew a paper out of his pocket and asked where Da- vid P. asl? We told him he was down at the lower barn unloading Weaver w | hay. They then went down to the barn | and after a while came back and called the vard fence.

That isall there is in the case, DeCOSSATY Death of Judge Irvin, at his residence on High street. He had been suffering for over a week from a paralytic attack which prostrated him and terminated in his death, The de. ceased was one of Bellefonte's oldest and most respected citizens. He was years ago interested In large iron opera: tions at Howard. From that place he came to Bellefonte, and for several years was engaged in the hardware trade. He was also elected Associate Judge in this county. He had held other prominent positions in this com. munity. Hisage is about 82 years, Incorrect, The statement made by the Bellefonte paper that on. 8. R. Peale had rented three rooms in the Cryder building in that borough for law offices turns out to be incorrect. We have it on the author. ity of the ex-Senator himself that he has not done so. He says in the note to Tue DexocnrAT: “1 have been Kindly urged to open an office in Bellefonte, were I have had some business for a number of years, but thus far I have not seen my way clear to do so, owing to the pressure of work elsewhere.”—So says the Lock Haven Democrat, 6.111 People Drowned at Johestown, It has been ascertai by careful estimates, compiled fro pts in the possession of the board of Inquiry at Johnstown, that 6,111 people were drowned by the flood.
