There not appearing in the columns of this paper, any items from this place for some time we thought proper to give in the same some of the things interesting to our people. People were all busy picking and haul. ing apples, making cider and boiling applebutter, Our people were favored with two very able sermons on Sunday morning and evening, hy the Rev. Burket, from Ohio, | formerly a young man from this place. | The Rev. is a very able speaker. The following persons were to hear | the Rev. Burket, from Millheim on Sum- day evening : Wm. Kreamer and wife, Henry PFeidler and wife, Geo. B. Stover and wife and Mrs. Reifsnyder. Ed. Winters and wife, from Millheim, were seen in our town on Sunday. Ed. Burke!, from Michigan, is visiting friends at this place. Mrs. Clayton Royer was the guest of Mrs. C. J. Crouse during Sunday. The Bierly brothers are prosecuting their trade in Sugarvalley. Braid Houtz, living about two miles west of Rebersburg, was confined by jaundice, which proved fatal on last Wednesday. Funeral took place on Saturday a. m. Services were conduct. ed by the Rev. Buck, of the Evangelical Association. Mr. Houtz was for many years an active member of the said church. Though a cripple be will be much missed iu his home, tn the neigh. borhood and in the church especially, as be was always at his post. C. M. Gramley is havin office erected. This wil venience. Thomas Morris, from Clearfield, made a short visit to his brother J. C. Morris last week, being home to attend his mother’s sale, which took place on Sat. arday. Wm. Douty wears a broad smile be. cause it's a boy. He will undoubtedly call him Robert E. Pattison Douty, Mr. Carlin, the candidate for treas- urer, on the democratic ticket, is enter. taining great hopes, and rightly so, for his, and the entire ticket's success. We can vouch for Mr. Carlin’'s ability and integrity. And if elected will make an able official, as he is a thorough business man. The democratic meeting held on Sat urday evening was well attended consid. ering the weather, The number was small, but the enthusiasm was great Some of our republican friends, capacity for political information was very small as they bad to leave the meeting before it was over. Messrs. Walker and Meyer, from Bellefonte, ably addressed the peo ple on state issues, Mrs. Wm. Haines, from Mifflinburg, is at present staying with Geo. B. Haines Miss Grace Guisewite, from Harris. burg, is at present visiting friends of this place. Some of our boys wear a broad smile in consequence of the same, while some smiling Geo. B. Haines and wife, from this place, left on Monday for Pittsburg, where they will spend sometime with Mrs. O. C. Walker, their daughter, Roland. J. C.

Beautiful Arazon plumes, darts, Japanese buttons and French novelties were there in an | endless profusion. The Shepherdess hat with its lofty plume trimming, Is decided ly pretty od meets with great favor, while the Ping Pong and wild rose style are absolutely new correct ideas and strikingly handsome. Miss Stover has certainly displayed a charming taste in selecting her fall and winter line of goods. No wonder her parlors are daily thronged with the gay and anxious sight seers. Of late some of the roosts in this neighborhood show a marvelous disap- arance of chickens in the morning. The question is, where are they, have they sunk in the ground or been stolen ? Potatoes are being brought here in large quantities. O. T. Corman ships a car load every week, and is short in his orders, and will buy all that is offered, and will pay either in cash or trade. The brick work of the new Lutheran church is being rapidly pushed forward. It will be a very handsome building when completed, and a great improve. ment to the neighborhood. A Corman & Son made gallons of cider last week. P. H. Meyer, present commissioner and candidate for re-election, was here last week. Mr. Meyer looks well, is bappy and thinks his triumph as well as the whole ticket a matter of only a few days. Chestnuts and walnuts seem very | plentiful here and command good prices. Edward Jamison has a very high spirited team. On Tuesday last in draw. ing logs to the saw mill, they took a | notion it was slow work, and suddenly | ran off, logs and all. Of course it was { hard work, and after running consider. | able distance was glad to stop. No par- { ticular damage was done. nearly 3000 Axemann.

The next fellow to meet was a some one the boys called “Satan,” they said he was just returning from phia where he had been walking Boss for the Philadelphia street railway com- pany. He then inquired for a certain widow, but was told she had seen the face of her future husband in the well of fate. So he decided there was nothing doing for him, he would leave this town, when be saw some fellow comming down street, he said, “bellow Pat, can you tell me who writes for the Centre Democrat.” This fellow asked how he knew his name was Pat?

Cedar reek, originally part d, had formed separate congre- gations and had called Rev. David Wiley to be their pastor, Of Mr. Martin as a preacher Dr. Gib. sou says: “We have no hesitation in believing that be wag able, orthodox and popular.” He is said to have been a Very earnest, animated speaker. He had a familiar way on & warm summer day of taking off his coat and sometimes his vest and preaching in his shirt sleeves, One of his daughters in-law told Dr, Gibson that sometimes he would take off his wig, bolding it in his hand while he gestured. It was related to me by one of his descendants, that on one occasion two dogs began to fight in the aisle in front of the pulpit while he was preaching. Some one came forward and promptly separated them. Mr. Martin viewed the battle from his lofty perch, and call ing down cried, “Give that black one a good beating for he began it.” All this sounds oddly in our ears, and yet it may not have seemed 50 then. Perhaps Mr, Martin's familiar ways brought him in closer touch with the people of his flock than some of the rice manverisms and little proprieties in vogue today, could possibly have done, Back After 55 Years. In 1857 the family of George Shoup left Aaronsburg, for Ohio. With the family was one of the boys, Samuel, then aged about 14 years. Sam was a wild but good.natured boy, and a most apt scholar in the town school, when not playing truant. Last Sunday noted Samuel’s arrival in Bellefonte, with wife and child, having returned from the Grand Army encampment at Washing. ton, and stopped to visit the family of Andrew Bell, who was a playmate of the Shoup boys at Asrousburg. This was Semuel Shoup's first vi = it to Centre coun. ty, since the Shoup's moved to Ohio, in| 1857. He will be interested in the changes that have been wrought in his native county in the last half century | railroads, pew towns, new schools with high standards of in. struction, fine homes in villages and out on the farms, new people and faces like an awakening of Rip Vans Winkle. | Samuel, like his father, before him, is a millwright, His visit will be full of in. terest, and his relatives and acquaint. Ances are numerous. His mother's maid. en name was Kreamer, a sister of Michael Krezmer, dec'd. south of Asronsburg.
