generous instincts, Bellefonte aroused her.
self last Saturday TO send immediate assist
ance TO her suffering sister city Of Milton.
As Bellefonte has been almost entirely ex-

six or eight years, the noble action Of
Saturday was eminently appropriate. Be-

filed seven or eight large boxes, which
we're sent as quickly as possible TO the
stricken city. A special meeting Of the
Masonic Lodge was called for Saturday

As this is the idylic season when gen.
ial suns, the sweet scent Of numberless
flowers and all the beautiful accessories Of
spring tempt the young and trusting to all
sorts of pleasure, both on sea and land, IL is
not surprising that a happy party Of our
young folk were seen bravely daring the
tempestuous waves of Mann's dam one dav
last week. The air was delicious, the party
happy and-the boat leaky. From intense
enjoyment the whole party suddenly took
part in Transformation scene and found
themselves safely deposited in the mud at
the feet Of the treacherous waters. The

that the expectations were realized was

The applause showed that the more simple

ciated, and the sweet solos and lively ma
tionAl aIrs drew forth the most demonstra-

"Pilgrim Fathers, by Mr.. Frank Keller,

well received and followed by an encore,

fcrce of the conclusion made by the cars

fore the train could be stopped heavily

right arm near the body. DR.. Hiblcr, Of
this place, was summoned to his assistance,
but found the unfortunate man too weak
to submit to an operation. The Doctor

made his last hours pass more easily. lie
fingered until Friday evening, when his
end came. He was about twenty-five years
OF age.
BITTEN m 4 FERoCIous DoG.-A Fad
and what might have proved fatal event
occurred at Pleasant Gap last Thursday.
Mr.. John r. Tate and his son, Mr.. W. S.
Tate occupy neighboring houses at that
place. Mr.. W. s. Tate was the possessor Of
large and very ferocious coach dog, but
itswas not supposed that ne would attack
any member of the family. On Thursday,
Miss Ollie, daughter of Mr.. W. s. Tate.
came from the residence Of her grand
parents to enter that of her father. As
she approached the porch upon which the
dog was lying, he looked at her and ex-
hibited evidences of anger. She spoke to
the dog kindly, when he jumped at her,
threw her down and bIt her savagely upon
the arm and body. Her mother ran TO her
assistance and threw herself with all her
strength upon the body Of the dog, drag
ging him from her daughter. Miss Ollie
hastened into the house, and it was with
difficulty that the savage canine was pre-
vented entering after her. Since the event,
Miss Ollie has been greatly prostra,ed from
the injuries together with theneryous fright
received, but by this time has perhaps al
most recovered. The dog was, OF course,
shot, Mr.. Flory sending the necessary
powder and ball through him.
