Quiet. social com forts OF home for
the bus tie, the hurry and furry of
hotel life After a trial OF few
days, who is not happy to be again
at home ? These reasons, then, are
entirely sufficient to induce us to
vote "against acceptance" and
there are other considerations that
ought to weigh heavily with our tax
payers.
Is it not q fact patent to all that
our public buildings, our court
houses and prisons, always cost us
much more than they should-often
nearly double their actual value ?
Has not Centre county n sorry histO-
nv i'm this respect ? Take our Jail ms
an example. 1t was built, IL we cor
rectly remember, in the summer of
1857. The contract price was. we
think, between $40. 600 and $45. 900,
but it cost the county half as much
more By the time it was completed.
Completed did We say ? No. It
never was completed in the sense
that q private citizen would call his
new building complete. 1t was
grossly defective in many material
respects. ''Repairs" have been the
order of the day ever since 1t is built.
Only last year it had to be re-roofed,
re-spouted, re-painted and repaired
generally, at q cost Of nearly $4,000.
This is fair instance OF how coun-
ty buildings are huilt and kept up
9th er counties fare no better then
Centre. Many similar cases could
be cited il necessary. Could the
county, or rather uoald it do any
better in buying q farm and building
"Home for the Destitute ?" We
fear not, and for this additional rea-
son will vote "No." reform is
necessary" and should we not pre-
fer not to bug and build than run
such fearful risks ?
A final objection to the proposed
"Home'' Is that gross mismanage-
ment, often great cruelty Is practic-
ed in our poor houses. The object
is very often lost sight OF In the job
berry and speculation OF managers
and stewards. This liz the case with
the Bucks county Poor House to-day,
and the same is said OF Schuylkill,
Northampton, Lehigh, Miflin, and
perhaps other counties in Pennsyl-
vania Besides, where poor house
is closely proximate to q larger town
or city, it tends to increase pauper-
ism and its attendant vices. We are
reliably informed that the Miffiin Co,
Poor House has frequent causes of
fornication and basterdy, by reason
Of its nedrneSs to LetciSto,cY.
We have tried to treat the subject
impartially and with n sole view TO
the public good. For ourself We
find ample reasons to vote against
the Home for the Dest't,de, the euph-
ony of the name to the contrary not
withstanding.

Mr.. Hayes Four-to-One Com

Mr.. Hayes Four-to-One Com
mission are now giving their "con-
clusions" to the world, and very
strange conclusions they are. They
conclude that although Packard was
elected Governor of Louisiana, he
had better desist fIom exercising the
functions of that office, but leave all
such trifilng matters to MFR. Nichols,
who although never elected, yet pro-
ceeds to act and do just as il he had
been. Now this seems to be very
considerate and tender towards the
ex-rtEels of Louisiana, for a Com
mission four tifths Republican. But
since Commissions are so fashiona.
BILE just now, had not Mr.. HAYES bet
ter make a clean job of it and ap-
point another Commission to inquire
into the validity and soundness Of
his own title to the office of Presi-
dent of the United State. There are
quite a number of people who have
serious misgivings on that particular
point, and we doubt very much
whether Mr.. Hayes himself feels al
together able to ''read his title clear"
to the high Office. Would it not help
his sleep amazingingly to know to a
certainty that he is President dc jaac
as well as dc facto ? What say you
to our suggestion, Rutherford ?

A few davs hence the citizens of
Centre county will be called upon to
vote for or against a Poor House.
Are they prepared I? We fear the
subject has not received that atten-
tion which its importance demands,
We have tried to gather some infor-
nation on the matter and have come
to the conclusion to vote against the
proposed Home for the Destitute.
As far as our observation goes the
poor of the several townships are de-
Gently kept and well cared for. There
may be exceptions to the rule-as
there are to every rule-but these
are certainly very rare. 1t may and
does sometimes happen that men
are elected to the office of overseer
who have no proper conceptions OF
the sacredness of their trust, bat
such instances happen seldom. True,
our vision in this matter is limited
confined to the secluded and peaceful
vallies where much the greater part
of our life was spent-but il the
other parts of the county provide as
well for their poor as do Penns and
Brush Vallies, then, indeed, there
is no need to erect a Home, in the
delusive hope of increasing the com.
forts Of that unfortunate class who
are to be its inmates. On the main
question then-the well being of the
poor--we have our serious doubts
whether poor house would be an
Improvement on the present system.
AS things are, the poor are distri.

Home is the most attracti

Home Is the most ATTRACTIVE,
the most lovely place upon earth. Ii
this is not the case with any partic-
ular home, the fault is certainly with
the inmates. Much as we all love
home, we can not always remain at
home. Business and sometimes
pleasure call us away. How pleas
ing then when abroad, to find a
place as nearly like home, as possible.
There are really but few Hotels that
bear any comparison at all to hap
py home, but the Bush House ut
Bellefonte, is one Of the rare excep-
tions to this rule. We stayed there
last week, for the first time in our
life, and are free to say that We were
delighted with all there is in and
ab6 ut it. The gentlemanly proprie-
tor, Mr.. f. ID. M'Collum, showed us
around in every part of the spacious
building, yards, stabling, sheds and
all. A system of order and neat
ness prevails throughout that makes
one feel entirely at home. What
pleased us more than all was that
there was no drunkenness TO be seen
no profanity heard.
An impression used to be general
ly prevalent that the BUSH HOUSE
was intended more particularly for
tourists, city folks and uDper-ten-
dom generally. This is certainly not
the case with Mr.. M'Collum as pro-
prietor. To him the farmer and me-
ch*nic are just as welcome as the
Senator and professional man. 1t is
the anxious desire of Mr.. M'Collum
to disabuse the people of Centre Co,
of any false notions Of high-ton eisn
oncerning the Bush House. TIC
our friends and patrons we say, try
the Bush.

Modern civilization REQUIRES tha'

Modern civilization requires that
a good cigar store should be very
close to a good hotel. Now this is
exactly the case at the Bush House,
Bellefonts. If you come out of the
front entrance after meals, Or nc any
time in fact, you have only step to
your left and you are right at the
Head Quarters Of A. j. Cruise, who
sells by odds the best cigars we have
smoked for long time. We don't
advise men to smoke for that would
be wrong; but they will smoke
whether it suits us or not. Now
the best advice we can give you un-
der the circumstances is, smoke
good cigars, and the place to get
them while at Bellefonte is Cruse'S.
Try it, and YOU will say so too.

One indication that business Is
about to revive is the fact that a
certain Mr.. Blaine of Maine and an
uncertain Mr.. Butler, of Massachu-
setts-the two busy BIS, from the
two celebrated A's-are about to
start up in business, under the sig-
niicant name, style and firm of Cred
it Mobilier IL Spoons, head quarters
at Washington, ID. g. They will
set up in direct opposition, yea, un-
der the very noses of that other new
firm scarcely yet established-Mr. r.
B. Hayes s. Co. There will be sharp
competition for the business Of the
country, and while one firm has de-
cided advantages insome respects,
the other has the inside track in
others. The Spoon firm unites the ex-
perierce of ripe old age with the vigor
of manhood, it is true, but the make
up Of the firm and the kind of goods
they propose to deal in are a little
unpopular to insure entire success.
Their policy will be Opposition to
the firm Of Hayes & Co. Their
goods-Credit Mobilier, Spoons,
Bloody Shirts, a little worse for
wear, Sectional Hatred, Political
Animosities, Rebels, Traitors, Cop
perheads, ETC., etc.
The firm of Hayes s. Co., will
mostly..deal in such staple goods as
Peace, Local Self Government, Civil
Rule, Reform, to some extent, Com
missions, &C., while in the Notion
Department may be found Errors,
some Bungling, Experiments, Hesi-
tation and other Fancy Goods.
Hayes & Co., promise to keep a
large number of qualified and gentle
manly Clerks, Carriers and Psrters.
In short they seem very anxious to
secure the confidence Of their pat
rons and the public generally.
AS neither firm has an yet given
the JOURNAL any advertising or
JOB WORK, we do not feel bound to
recommend either to our readers,
but will wait awhile to see which
sells the most goods or does the best
business.

IT, isa real Measure when or

1t is a real pleasure when one
enters store and finds full line of
goods, low prices and gentlemanly
proprietors. Such a favorable COM
bination must gain many friends
and cUstome rs. Now this is EN-
platically the case with the Hard
ware store of James Harris u CO.,
Bellefonte. Everything you can
think of in their line is there, and at
prices to suit these panic times ex-
actly. The senior of the firm Mr..
Harris, has been in the business for
many years, and knows exactly how
to handle a Hardware store. We
can assure our eaders that they can
find no better or cheaper place than
