It has late ly been rumored around hero flint there in throughout Centre county, aft well as in Bellefonte, a certain se cret mutual organization thut preach and are preparing for the end of the world, which they confidently he. lieve will he next year, 1W0. Throughout thin county alone, from the moHt accurate data poHsiUe to obtain, it is safe to estimate that there are at leant 1,100 and possibly 2,000 adherent of this strange or ganization, if organization it can bo termed. So far aH it won posHible to penetrate into their working, no real perfected organization witl legalized officers and appoiuted head could be found, but simply a mutua association who work in great se crecy.and who look to the most pro nounced one in their midst as the proper one to lead. The majority of tho adherents are professors of Christianity, and mem ber h of different denominational churches, and no special church is represented more than another. The Bible they take for the foundation of their belief and the occurrences of tho day as proof that their belief is well founded. Most prominent among the events brought up to prove their faith is the recent mul tiplicity of Hoods and firerf, with wars and rumors of wars, the in crcuMo of crime nnd disaster and the uprising of prophets and false teach ers. The association's work consists briefly of preaching its doctrine and substantiating it by practice, in making preparation for tho final din solution of this world. Tho only man who could be prevailed upon to say much about the association and belief was C. D. Miller, a wealthy farmer, and one of the strongest ud- hereuts of tho belief. He said : I behove tho world will come to an end in lH!l(), and there are hun dreds of othci'B more than a thous and, perhaps throughout this coun try that believo the samo thing, This belief nnd association lias been A current ior years, ami must in no w ise bo connected with the prophe cies of 'Mother Shipton' or nny o; the kind. It has sprung solely from the teachings of tho Bible, am' every day is made more plain nni convincing by the events occurring around us. I tell you what it is, we nil want to think less of self or nccu mulutuig money and such other material things, nnd give more tit ionium 10 i ue preparation ot our selves for the final dissolution which is Kure to come." mien as ked nsto when ho first believed the end of the would bo in t.iii.i I 1 1 tit m . . iw, no n piieu : as lur Hack ns fifteen years ago I prophesied that the end of tho world would bo in IH'.M), ami that as it neared that tune the prophecies in the Bible would be full'ilkd and made very plain to everyone." Mr. Miller then called attention to the recent floods. "Wo believers in this doctrine anticipated all the startling disasters that have lately occurred, though, of course, we did not know at what time or place they would occur. But all these recent floods, large fires, earthquakes, rail road accidents, increase of crime, prophecies and teachings of this later day have all been predestinated, and are a sure sign of the approach of tho end." Mr. Miller could not definitely say just why tho year 18!0 was set as the time for the end of the world, but in some unaccounted way they felt certain that was the time. Mr. Miller is a well informed and intelli gent man, and is thoroughly sineero in what he teaches. The believers mode of work is to preach to their friends. The only object in view, so far as could bo learned, was to have all prepared spiritually. In some places churches have taken up tho idea and preachers are discours ing over the theme to their eongre gat ion. Ti!oxelvii.i.e. The copious show er of Friday night and Saturday forenoon was a very welcome visitor to alL Our farmers were'nearly all stuck on plowing. The fast fading hopes of a large potato crop are again revived. Mr. and Mrs. William worth of Missouri, visited By the time this is seen in print, the oats will all be cut nnd the greater part of it stored away. The crop is unusually heavy. On Saturday forenoon as John A. Fetterolf was coming home from the Seven mountains, just as he had passed Lick gap, a large buck deer bounced out of the bushes in to the road not over ten yards ahead of him where he stopped.andlooked at the vetern slayer of his upecies, without the least visible seign of of fear. Seeing tho boldness of the animal, and the recollection of his adventure he had with the panthers just about a year ago, the hair com menced to crawll up and stand out in all directions, whereupon John ask ed. "What do you want T" The deer of course did not answer, and John continued, "Yon chappie must not think that you can scare me, I havo seen some worse looking fel lows than you are. I am the man that stood one whole night up in Wolf swamp with my back against a pine tree keeping an old she panther with her cubs at bay, with nothing to defend myself but this trusty old barlow," at the saiie timo ho got his knife out and made a double-quick charge on the antlered monarch, who slowly gal loped off towards Moll's, making gestures with his tail as much as to say, "Johnnie, catch me if you can John says he was a beauty, with large horns, which were as black as a, cart-whip. The horns are all black at this time of the year. The velvet not being scoured off yet. Considerable growling is heard concerning the course taken by our County Commissioners in awarding tho contract for rebuilding the bridge across Middlecreek, known as Kahley's. It is claimed that there is no bridge in tho county that is more extensively used than this one, and should by all means have been iron instead of a wooden one. Camfohma Joe.
