From Miss Jean long, 16 Reynolds Ave., Bellefonte, Pa.” The first thunder and lightning of the season we had on the night of the 28th of February ; on the same date Bald Eagle and Spring creek, got their backs up destroying property at a terrible rate. At McCoy & Linn's iron works timbers, forebay, bridges were on the move. The water ran through the forge and rolling mill ; the men in the mill got one heat rolled and had to quit work ; one of the forge fires was washed down, fences left their quiet resting places, as far as your eyes would permit you could see many acres of land covered with water. In Central City dwellings and stores were filled with water, A. A.

Harry Grubb and Miss Susan McClel. lan were married on the 26th of Feb. by 11 Squire William B. Grassmire, Lemont.
