We don't know that this fact will make any material difference in the workings of that body, but the democrats have so little opportunity of having a say in the boro affairs that they should take advan. tage of the opportunity when it happens to come to them. There are a few to our | pickings that might be judiciously dis. tributed among some of the democratic brethren who have gone bungry fora long time, Furnace News, During the past week a few men have been at work about the idle Valentine fur. nace plant, at this place. This has aroused comment and the report was current on the street that the plant would soon be put in operation. That is hard. ly correct. Some eastern parties have been interested in the project and have asked for an estimate of the amount of expense that would be entailed to make needed repairs so that it conid be put mw operation. Men have been sent out to examine the interior of the ovens, con. dition of machinery, etc., and make a re- port. That is sufficient to warrant the prediction that if repairs are not too ex. pensive, it may be put in operation ere long. Jonathan H.

He was in feeble health for several years, and had been at Colorado Springs some two years hop- ing to improve his health but derived no benefit from his stay there. He was a son of J. D. Murray, of Centre Hall, where he remained with his parents un. til he left for F. & M. college at Lan. caster, and after a two year's stay went to Princeton in which institution he graduated. He later entered the law office of Beaver & Dale in this place and was admitted to the Centre county bar, He was an exceptionally bright young young man, and a writer of elegance and force, and served about a year as a reporter for the New York Sum in that city. His health demanded a change of climate and physicians advised a remov- al to Colorado Springs, as above referred to. After leaving Bellefonte Mr. Mar. ray became a partner in the Vandersiice law.office in Philadelphia, and after his connection with the same upwards of two years, he opened an office on his own account with the most pros pects, until the condition of his health blasted a bright future.
