beef is the deadest of dead losses

Subsequently, he SOLD the sewing machine to

on the scene, and reclaimed his property

Rev. Il. NJ. Kerr, at one time and only
few years ago the much esteemed pastor
of the Presbyterian church in this place but
now a resident of Mercer, Pa, is among us
this week, accompanied by his estimabie
wife, and is of course receiving the How
dye do's?' and hearty welcomes of his
many friends in this vicinity. Mr.. Kerr
looks as well preserved physically as in days
of yore, and intends, if rightly in
formed, to Ill his old pulpit on Sunday next.
when no doubt an immense congregation
will be in attendance to listen to his elo-
quent and always forcible enunciation of
gospel truths as he understands them.
A respectable looking white woman,
who arrived in Bellefonte few days ago
and put up at first-class hotel, was discov-
cred late on Sunday night last in bed with
two buck negroes, one on each side Of her |
1t was the landlord who made the discov-
cry, and the way the darkies got up and !
garments, is said to have been a sight worth
travelling few hundred miles to witness |
What became of the wretched creature who |
SO damnably disgraced Eer and her
race, we know not, but if she got off without |
good ducking, or coat of tar and feath- |
ers, it was certainly more clemency than |
such depraved wretch is worthy of.
Through the kindness of Mr. w. L. !
Foulk, advertising agent, Pittsburgh, and a |
corresponding courtesy on part of Mr.. ID. 8.
Thomas, press agent of Barnum's gigantic |
Hippodrome, we were placed in possession |
OF tickets for two reserved seats at the exhi- |
bition of that colossal establishment in AL |
legheny City, on Monday afternoon last, and |
having, in company with friend, avaiied !
ourself of the generous privilege thus ex- |
tended, we must say that we were greatly |
delighted with the entertainment through !
out The performances, each and all. were |
of the highest order, and the spectacular /
exhibition entitled ''The Congress of Ma |
tions, is beyond question the most brilliant |
cavaicade that has ever been presented for |
public approval. We advise all who can
spare the time and the money to go to-mor- |
row, the last day of the big show and the |
last chance they will have for visiting Pitts |
burgh and this wonderful entertainment |
and returning home to this place on the |
night of the same day, all for the remarka- |
BILE low price of 81 so.
The Young man George Conger, ac- !
count of whose arrest and imprisonment, on
a charge of stealing two railroad tickets at
Sonman, we publish elsewhere, is still in |
durance vile, having thus far failed TO Sc
cure the bail necessary for his release. HIS
young wife, an estimable lady, with her in
fant child, lis at the residence of Mr.. Hartman
Berg in this place, to whom she is related
She complains very much OF the indignity
heaped upon her In the matter of her arrest
and retention in the Huntingdon Jail along
with her husband, alleging, what is no
doubt true, that il the tickets were stolen she
had no knowledge of the fact, and of course
could not have been participant in the al
legged crime. The husband, too, declares
his innocence, but admits his inability to ex-
plain away the suspicious circumstances
which surround the entire transaction, al
though he declares he is the victim of a deep
laid conspiracy. Be that as it may, his un-
enviable position is calculated to excite pity
for him and earnest sympathy for his young
wife and innocent babe, for whose sake we
trust that he may be able In some way 10
establish his innocence.
