This was the first time I attended a | funeral at sea, and 1 hope it will be th, last. This woman was coming home to die at Derry. She had plenty of money, but it did not save her. A gentleman offered 2500 to keep her until we would reach shore, but it was refused as the officers did not want any trouble | the oflicers of Derry that she had who discovered her death first.

The 13th of July was celebrated with imposing ceremonies by the Orange or- der, about 85 bands, There were about twenty-five or thirty preachers, repre. senting every shade of belief in Ireland on the stand, with as many politicians, The speeches and resolutions of this wonderful gathering were not as might olie brethern, but it was the very oppo.

Edwin Rhul, is the son of Mr. David Rhul, proprietod of the Spring Mills hotel and is a very popular young man, amd his bride, Miss Burrel, is a very handsome young lady, and Edwin is to be congratulated upon the success of his choice of a better half. The couple will continue to reside Spring Mills in the future.

This order any United States jp» nsion { has been issued to prevent the perpetra- | tion of fraud upon the pensioner of Uncle Sam, which has been frequent of { 1ate years in the Bension department. Death at Spring Mills. Mr. Joseph Rishell, a highly respected citizen, living near Spring Mills, died on Tuesday night of last week, of dropsy after a illness of over a year, He was ‘a farmer by occupation until a short time ago when on account of delicate health he moved from the farm to the residence where he died. He was well (up in years and a member of the Luth- eran church, Former Bellefonte Lady Dead. Mis.

Paying an Old Debt As our readers well know, the former commissioners of Centre county spent all the surplus money left in the county treasury and then used the State's funds in order to keep up appearances. This was a direct violation of the law, but that did not worry them. For the year 1880 they thus used $145.67, andfor 1590, 27001.89. When the present board went into office they found that #8.461.56 had thus been missapplied. Last week the present democratic board paid off the last of this debt of #8,461.56 to the State Treasurer.
