FITTING.

The fitting season has about COM
menced and from now till April
III st inclusive many families will be
obliged to shift quarters. Our town
and township Will have its full share
of "moves" rs usual. Although a
half dozen new houses were built
last summer the want in this dIrec-
ton still seems TO be rs pressing as
ever. Half n dozen or mere houses
could easily be rented away until
April, il they were here. Several
families ar still unprOvided for
while others would doubtless come
if houses could be had at anything
like fair rents. The growth and
prosperity of our town requires that
more dwellings, be built, and it
should be the first object of every
young couple to endeavor to acquire
an own home.
The following is Il list Of the fit
tings for this spring, as far as we
could ascertain &: Philip LeitZeil,
from Penn Hall. moves into the te-
nant house cf w. K. Alexander, or
the hill. II. II. WeiSer, moves one
door west into his fathers house.
Wash Slower goes into his own ne,c
house, on Penn Street, and JUICE
Hartman and Constable Lamy do
the same thing. ID. l. Brown goes
in where Wash goes out, and T. J..
Decker succeeds IL. IL Weiser. A.
T.. Musser moves into Mr.. Foote'S
house, and Emil. Motz, from Wood
ward, takes Musser's place in Stras-
burg. Capt VanValin, comes from
Woodward, to occupy John Breon s
house North Street., and Mr.. Huey,
the present occupant, takes his fa-
theirs house few doors above. j..
Weaver. stage contractor, goes to
Howard ,and makes place for John
Painter, miller. John Cummings
vacates Mrs. Hare's house and VIM.
Derr will fill it again. jeff Swanger
goes into the house where I. j..
Decker now is. Jacob Alter moves
INTO Gephart's house near Foote'S
Foundry. Samuel Walisa leaves
Mr.. Titlows hose, and expects to
build habitation of his own, in
Frogtown. John Kerstetter also
expects to build on Penn Street.
S. G. Clark takes charge of the Ul-
rich property, North of town, and
Samuel Weiser, Jr., takes Clark's
place in the white house. James
Dutweiler, gets the second floor of
the Grocery while Harry keeps the
first. Jonathan Harter takes pos
session of his home on Penn Street
and Sacob Breon gets the farm.
John Hall goes to Mill Hall, and
Mrs. Stine moves into that house.
John D. Keen moves to Harris

The Millheimers are truly n noble,
generous, unselfish people, and it IS
on this ground Of kindred feeling
that we become attached to Mill
helm more strongly every DAY, and
Millheim to us. Think Of it'-just
as the Nillheimers were about ready
TO commence active operations on
the branch rail road, they bethOnght
themselves that the Centre HalldnS
had no rail road at all. Now it was
considered and resolved that it
would inceed he cfnell 10 ask ttro
rail roads when their neighbors, who
are just. rs goOd-if not better ---and
had paid just rs much7if not more
to the l.. C.. x :. c., had none.
SO it was concluded not to begin the
branch untitt the extension To Centre
Hall had begun. 1t is .now settled
upon Us about the square thing that
the branch ana the extension should
commence and be completed Simul-
tdneouSty. In this way one enter
prise will prompt and encourage the
other, and the interests of both
towns would be advanced.

The Rfpublicdn of last week says
"there is a great deal of useless and
absurd discussion upon the question
of Republican candidate for the of
fee Of president judge of this dis
trict." That's exactly what We
thought all along. Judge Mayer
has filled the position very accepta-
bly, to all parties and classes, and all
discussion looking to his succession
by new and untried man is Ger
tainly as "absurd" as it is use
less" and the Republican for once
hits the nail square on the head.
The peopleSof this judicial district
mean to retain 1.-THE services OF the
able and upright judge, and are not
In the least disposed to take any
risks by venturing on new material.
That's fixed. If the Republicans,
merely for the sake of party, see fit
to romirate and vote for Mr.. Fnrst,
or any other man, we don't see any
particular harm in it, only it shows
what partisan bigotry will do.
