To him the prin- | ciples of the Democracy was an abid- | ing falth, and all his life he was | found as an aggressive exponent of those doctrines. In this connection we quote from Hon. John B. Linn, In his “History of Centre and Clinton counties” to wit: “He was elected to the Legisla- ture in 18668 over Gen. James A. Beaver, and re-elected in 1867 by a largely increased majority, and the highest vote upon the Demo- cratic ticket. His record as a leg- fslator was unsullied, and rendered him still more popular amqng, his constiteents. : “Among other indications of this fs the fact that at a public meeting of the citizens of the county, lrre- spective of party, held at Belle- fonte In the winter of 1867, his] eourse In opposition to the railroad monopoly was heartily indgssed by "Hon. H. N. McAllister and other leading citizens. “It is to the credit, too, of Mr. Kurtz that he was one of the hard- @#st and ;most earnest workers for railroad facilities for Penn's valley, devoting days and weeks canvass- Ing - for. subscriptions, and giving the enterprise continued. . editorial support, and he wis also one of the most liberal subscribers for the stock. “Mr. Kurtz always has taken high ground in support of educational interests, especially advacating the establishment of teachers’ Insti- tutes, and speaking on the behalf at various points in the valley" From Illingworth's “Passing Glance of Pennsvalley,” 1886, the following | is taken, to wit: “Centre Hall owes fo | the enterprising spirit of Mr. Kurtis, | namely, its admirable water works, | its excellent roller fouring mills, the grading of its schools, and the | town's first creditable school bul. | Ing, besides several houses.

For a dozen Or more years he had been president of the joint | council of the Lutheran charge: | has been elected president of the Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Centre county for about ten years; has been president of the Centre Hall Water Company for about twenty-six years. Was chairman of the building committee in the erection of the fine Lutheran church in Centre Hall, and for near- | ly ten years was an in the church. These positions were serv- | ed by Mr. Kurtz with great credit and to the entire satisfaction of the represented constituencies.

The painter is likely to be brusque Even when he possesses a bit of tact he is not wont to waste it on “Phillis tines,” even If they are customers and persons of distinction. No such charge however, can be brought against an eighteenth century painter named Chandler. He was commissioned by William IV. to paint the attack com of Clarence on a fortress on the Span {sh coast. The attack took place at night, and with the view of relieving the somber vell of midnight the artist took the liberty of Introducing sea gulls skimming the clouds. “Hello!” exclaimed his majesty when he first saw the painting, “It will nevar do to have the birds flying about at night.
