Page Two y | "Echoes From the Past | Fifty Yaars Ago The Fourth was a quiet day in our town, The attractions at Tyrone and Williamsport drew a large number of people while many others left for the mountains or to Penn's Cave. All the stores and business places closed and few people were on the streets. The only reminder that it was a National holiday was the report of firecrackers and the flash of fireworks in the evening Those who remained at home tried] to amuse themselves in this way. | Last week Peter Ashcroft, of] Philipsburg, was released from jail} where he had been held for violat- ing the liquor laws, The Ledger, of | that place, says “Mr. Peter Ash- | croft came home on Thursday night | in good health and spirits. He was| met at the depot by a large crowd of admiring and sympathizing friends, headed by the Amateur Band, and escorted to his home, where he held a reception. Peter says he was imprisoned without cause { One day last week one of the tralnmen on the Buffalo Run road noticed an object in the water near Waddles station. Upon exam- ination it proved to be the body of a middle-aged man. From the con- dition of the corpse it was evident that death had occurred several days previous. As it lay, a portion of the body was partly covered by water. The exposed part was badly decomposed while the part under the water was fairly well preserved The Justice of the Peace was in- formed at once of the matter and the remains were properly interred Up to this time it is not known who the man was. It is thought to have been a peddler or a tramp who had been in that section the week before. As there were no in- dications of foul play or bruises on the body it Is supposed that he might have been subject to fits and met his death by falling in the water | Last week a blind musician who makes his living by singing and sell- ing popular song books arrived in town. He registered at the Garman House that night. At about 10 p m., feeling somewhat fatigued, he expressed a desire to be shown to his room for the night. Mr. Al Garman promptly responded and after lighting a lamp kindly led the blind man upstairs and show- ed him to his quarters. Alter a short conversation the genial land- lord was about to leave the room and said, “Il put your lamp on that stand; you can find the match- es alongside of it.” That was too much for the blind man who ex- claimed ‘Get out with your matches and lamp! A blind man has no time to fool with such things" Al took the matches and lamp and started downstairs feel-| ing that he ought to hire a cheap boy to kick his trousers thorough- | . i Free delivery at last! Bellefonte tepped one notch foreward on Monday morning when the long talked-of and much discussed mail system went into effect. As the car- riers, Messrs. John Wagner, James Byard, Johnny Bair and Thomas Benner emerged early on that morning togged out in fresh, clean and nobby grey uniforms, every- body stopped to compliment them on their general appearance. The intention was to have the carriers begin the first of July but owing to delays in obtaining mail pouch- es and other equipment it was post- Charter No. 12192 REPORT OF THE poned for a week. On Saturday night the locks were placed on the boxes and the first mall was lifted on Monday morning.

After all the fighting among aspirants for these positions we believe that a mall carrier in the employment of Uncle Sam holds a position that requires much labor, and is more honorable than profit. able The Hale bullding on the corner of Allegheny and High streets, is being remodeled for two store rooms | who has obtained | by Mr. Crider, a lease on the property, Large glass fronts will face Allegheny street The one store will be occupied by a Mr. Auchenbach, of Willlamsport, and the other by a millinery store, and an addition will also be built later.

Mrs. Stover was a daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. David Rhine- smith, of near Bellefonte, and was a sister of Mrs. Prank Musser, who died a few weeks ago. The cause of her death was typhold fever which she contracted while caring for her mother and sister who were afflicted with the same disease. The interment occurred at Boalsburg on Friday morning On last Saturday afternoon Bee- zer & Gentzel held their first horse sale at Haag's Hotel, this place They had a carload of Iowa horses which were In demand and were purchased by the following persons gray horse, Martin Viehdorfer, Pine Glen, $201; black team, William Loose, Penn's Valley, $310; dapple gray, D.

The young man was assisting his father making hay on their farm. They were unloading in the barn and used a large Iron fork 10 carry the hay from the wagon to the mow The young man was on the wagon and after adjusting the fork in the hay gave the signal for the horses to pull it up to the mow. It raised above the wagon some distance when the rope in the loft broke and the heavy fron fork fell upon the young man. It plerced him in the side near the loins. It was soon withdrawn and medical ald was summoned. He bled so rapidly that in less than 10 minutes he was dead The prong had severed the main artery of his right leg.

This lesson is a continuation of our study of last week, Alter seven days of silence, In which the three friends of Job sat beside him Ww comfort him, there begins a discus- sion as Ww why this werrible punish- ment had been gent on Job by God One by one the friends speak and after each speaks, Job answers proclaiming his innocence of ihe sins which they insist he must have committed 10 have had these afflic- tions visited upon him, While we do not have the space tw discusl the arguments given by the Uiree friends, nor the answers given Job, those who would understand this lesson more fully would d well 10 read the Book of Job from the fourth chapter through nineteenth chapter—4he basis fo our consideration this week Although stoutly insisting that he is Innocent of the gins which his friends believe responsible for hl condition. Job finally sinks ino a slough of despondency. He cursed the day he was born and asks God that he be permitted 10 die if he can no longer count upon the favor of God. He denounces his friend: as “miserable comforters” and ut the words of James Altkens, he turns “once more from his {riends tw God himself, He craves again the opportunity to coniend with God face 10 face. As he rehearse: what would be his blessing, he for- gets his own sorrows the recol- lection of the sorrows of mankind and now for the first time Lhere gleams for him a light which flashes all over the darkness which surrounds him, his own angulsh and the anguish of the world. What if there be a life beyond the grave where the righteous, rescued out of B8heol by the hand of God, shall en- Joy his favor forever. The hope gieams for a moment and ig gone but iL recurs again Then another discourses begins between the three [riends and Job. They gecry his arrogance and apparent irreligiousness. Job's attitude during the first round ol the controversy is the exampie of 2 wicked man's impatience under Ca- amity, and their opinions that he was gulity of some secre! sin confirmed. Losing patience wilh Job, they use all the arguments they know 10 prove to him, by past experience and observation, that M is the wickegq who suffer and the righteous who are rewarded The effect of these accusations and the insistence of his friends that he wis a sinner rasied Job: suffering 10 the point of extreme mental anguish. He realizes the Lhe in 4 of round | his suffering apparent distrust of his friends, the fact that God has denied him jus- | tioe, has strippeq him of his glory relentlessly persecuted him and had wounded him almost unto death, However, Job's wondenfu, | faith In God cannot be destroyed | even by these unexplainable things | that have happened unto him. He knows that there must be some way for him to escape from his misery that there must be some reason for He thus reaches the spiritual crisis of his lfe—elther Be must gink into everlasting de- Pair or he mus. see God through all his suffering Job then utters his everlasting confession of faith in the goodness of God—"As for me, 1 know that my Redeemer liveth, and st last he will stand up upon the earth; and after my skin, even this body is de- sLroyed without my flesh shall I see God; whom 1 even 1 shall see on my side, and mine eyes shall be- and not as & stranger He was confident that even though he couldn't understand the workings of God in this lide, after death every- thing would be revealed to him and that ighteon Ie on earth Would be vindicated by a just God It would be well for us to re- member that many of the greatest advances that have cone (10 human beings have come through suffer- ing.
