dcncc of 7. 4. Lee, on Eighth avenue, was
struck by lightning and narrowly escaped
being burned to the ground, and several
accidents of miner importance happened.
In Tyrone the storm was even more furi-
Gus. The county bridge which spans tho
Juniata was wrecked beyond repair, the
large corrugated iron roof bark shed OF
| ID. T.. Ray was demolished, the machine
shops OF w. ii. II. Nivling & Co. were
badly damaged, and Mr.. Joshua Cox, a
machinist, was seriously injured by falling
timbcrs. Immense damage was also done
to fruit and shade trees, and several per-
sons narrowly escaped with their lives.
On the whole we can congratulate our
selves that We reside in Bellefontc, for
those two towns, particularly Altoona, are
constantly devising some way to kill of
their surplus population, and now 1t ap.
pears that the elements themselves have
conspred to aid them.
| Last week on Wednesday nineteen
persons arrived at the Bush House This
number was exceeded on the following
day, twenty.one arriving. This evidences
pretty sound condition of prosperity,
when n hotel, at a time when there is 10
especial inducemcnt, can thus attract
guests. This is mainly due TO judicious
advertising. Mr.. Hopes, in addition 70
advertising in all the county papers, has
his card inserted in three city papers. 'Tis
| true, that such elegant accommodations ne
can be obtained at tho Bush House will aid
in giving popularity, but landlord may
give good entertainment until he grows old
and his hair becomes gray, and unless he
advcrtiscs it would be better for him TO
cease his business Immediately.
One Of our exchanges, which is to US
| Of special local value, is tho Millhcim
Journal. We frequently take the liberty
Of clipping from its columns always Civ
ing it credit We hope this statement will
commend itself TO the proprie;ors Of ,ha,
paper n sufficient reason why they
should always be careful to send Us q we'll
printed copy as doing so will prove mu-
tually advantageous. The contents Of the
last number was good, but the print was
scarcely visible to the naked eye.
The Millhcim journal gives the names
Of the delegates who will represent tho
! Synod Of Central Pennsylvania at the
General Synod Of the Lutheran church Of
the United States, which met at Woos-
ter, Ohio, on the llth instant. The clcri-
cal members, are Revs. John Tomlinson,
J. G.. Anspach j. X. Miller aud A. Linsz
-Four lay members are also appointed, viz:
d. l.. Derr, NJ. D., s. B. Hoffman, W.
Koldcr and Col VIM. Willis.
| The class of Mrs. Thomas Reynolds,
in the Episcopal Sabbath-school, seems to
be especially "full Of good works" The
last exploit in this direction Was when they
visited the Centennial Club Room and had
it thoroughly cleaned and improved in
general appearance by their united eiFor,s
It was this same class that presented
prayer desk recently 70 Rev. Hewitt, the
rector, and We shall wait patiently to hear
