Spring Mills. Mrs. Mary Sherman, of Belvidere, Ill, | daughter of Dr. J B Leitzell, a prominent physician, formerly of our village, is here visiting her uncle and aunt, Mr, and Mrs. Wm, Pealer, A day or two since I stepped into the factory office of |. I. Condo and discover ed the old veteran carefully packing and rearranging some of his valuable relics of the Civil war. Among quite a number of warlike implements was a gun screw driver and hand vice—odd looking things, a pair of well battered revolvers and a gun lock evidently of foreign make; also very handsome silver fife, which he found in the field at Appomatiox; he is uncertain weather it is Confederate or Union property; besides many other arti. | cles unnecessary to mention at present, but the ear piercing fife be prizes very highly and frequently plays upon it, and says that the shrill music,always recalled the bright days he had with his com- rades, and often too the sad scene wit- nessed before grim visaged war had smoothed his wrinkled face. The several committees ofthe Dr. D M. Wolf reunion (on 7th inst,) have about completed all the necessary ar- rangements for the grand event, and should the weather prove propitious it will be an occasion never before equal- led in Penns valley. The!Spring Mill plaining mills has been so crowded with orders that the plant has not only been running in full time, but also running at night. C. A. Krape has just had his store and post office building very handsomely painted and has also added some im- provements. His bargain counter is quite an institution. Wm. Ruhl is doing a very lively livery business, simply because his terms are always reasonable and terms reliable. Berries of all kinds have suddenly be come almost a drug in the market. Mis; Aona Corman left last week for Altoona to visit her sister, Mrs. Roland Gentzel, All our merchants report a very satis. factory business during July, commer. cial agents passing through here report traffic on the road as being fair. J. PF. Rearick has in his office a large globe shade over one of his ascetylene | gas burners, it almost equals an arc electric lamp in brilliancy, oue great and important fact with this gas is—to use a common expression—just as safe as a tallow candle. Merchant O. F. Corman is evidently the heaviest shipper of berries we have in the village, for the last ten days, he has shipped in an average fifty bushels per day, and has employed an extra force of men to put them in shipping order. For some time berries here have commanded good figures, but within a few days have become demoralized, and the prices of all kinds of berries have de. clined very considerably. The K. G. E. contemplate having a grand picnic during the month. 0. P. Corman purchased several bar. rels of apples from Fye & Stover.

Rachel Comly, Clayton Yarpell, William Ny- man, William Walker and Foster Poor- man, were the guests of A. G. Walker, Sunday. Michael Poorman Henry Heaton, High Valley. Tooth ache is prevailing here at pres- ent. Plenty of roasting ears at East End; never had such a crop on that farm. As to oats there is straw enough for 6o bushels to the acre. Potato crop good. The Rankeltown crop is not so good ; may be a good crop, depending what the fall will be. Jess Suyder don’t need a recommen: dation for a farmer his corn will tell. All that have wheat on hand had bet. ter take it to market, before the High valley crop comes in, as the East End farmers have already sold their crop and it is heavy. West end of High valley has no wheat, only calculated to raise cabbage, potatoes, rye, corn and whipperville apples. It has the same latitude as Georgetown. Hogs must be up as some have cheek enough to ask thirty dollars for old sows ; at that rate meat will fetch twenty cents per pound by fall. The peach growers in High valley needn't be afraid that thieves will break in and steal, if they do, they are fooled I often wondered why some people must do their business at night; during the day they loaf around bome. The old saying is never blame any one unless you're positive. Be sure he is the guilty one or else it will lead to trouble We have lots of such ones that will rub a mean dirty trick on the one that is pot guilty. Dr. Sayder said he likes mutton but can’t keep it. Some time ago he killed a fine one, cul it up, gave each of his neighbors a taste and left the balance stand in the cellar. During the night a miscreant sneaked in and took what was left ; last winter he believed the same miscreant was sneaking around his smoke house, but failed to wet in Jack Elmer is planing a machioe to place on cattle's feet for climbing trees; it will be a fine thing, it would save labor for those that feed their cattle on limbs, then they could climb up, eat what they want and come down, Aaronsburg.
