BELLEHoETE ACADEMY-1 School foy.
Young Boys.-Specisl provision is made
this year for the careful training Of young
boys Of from eight 10 twelve years Of age.
The number will be select and bad boys
will not be retained in the school. The
Principal himself will render special AS
sistance in the teHching Of this department
We fully realize that this Is the hopeful
period in which VIC can do the best work
for the young.
The Primary Department will be under
the care Of Mrs. L. c. Ogden, who, during
the past two years, has proven herself 50
admirably adapted TO the management and
teaching Of young children.
The yoong Ladies' Department will be
under the charge Of Mrs. w. w. Robinson,
who has already so worthily commended
herself to the patrons Of the Academy as
the right teacher IN the righ; place, and as
the accomplished and experienced lady 10
whose faithful care and watch.ulness
parents may confidently commit the edu-
cation of their daughters.
The Classical Department will be under
the charge Of Mr. Charles Heebner, whose
classes at the last examinations showed
such thorough training, such finish and
such proficiency, and whose teaching and
discipline in the class room throughout
the entire year proved him to be in talent,
tact and culture teacher of much more
than ordinary rank.
The Principal will carefully interest
himself in all the departments. and look
after the needs Of every pupil.
Under such favorable auspices we enter
upon the twelfth year OF our educational
work in this community; and of all, who
can in any measure appreciate and estimate
the advantages Of having such q school at
their own doors, we earnestly ask hearty
and living interest and cooperation in all
that concerns the welfare and prosperity Of
the Academy. The next session will open
on Wednesday, the first Of September.

Hancock and Gettysburg.
Forneys Progress.

Forneys Progress.
The nomination Of Gen Hancock will
increase public interest in the battle Of
Gettysburg, in which he was such q con.
spicuous figure. Although that great
struggle did not end the war, it furnish.
ed such a clear indication of the final
issue that leading Confederate generals
have since acknowledged that they
continued to fight without a rational
hope Of victory, and only for the pur-
pose of securing advantageous terms.
The historians of the future, in enum.
Grating the decisive battles of all ages,
will always assign TO the terrific struggle
on the soil OF this State a commanding
position. Large bodies of soldiers from
nearly every State in the Union min.
gled their blood on that sanguinary
field, and nowhere else did the Confed-
eracy give such proofs of its strength
and valor. For the only mighty aggres.
sive demonst stration made on free soil.
the greatest possible concentration Of
Southern energy and resources was per.
fected, and il required matchless vigil
ance, courage, heroism, determination,
and military skill TO repel this most for.
midable OF all invasions. Rarely, If
ever, have larger opposing armies been
brought into direct conflict, and never
has greater degree of daring and her.
oism been displayed by all the soldiers
OF two great contending armies. Gettys.
burg will be forever hallowed by sad
and glorious memories. There the
fratricidal strife loomed up into its most
terrible proportions and there feeling
of mutual respect between the opposing
legions, whose blood was shed like wa
ter, was enkindled, which has permeat.
ed the most remote portions Of this re.
public. While war reared it's horrid
front, numbering its victims by tens of
thousands, making the earth reel with
the roar of artillery, and riddling for.
ests with bullets, il was the war of
giants struggling with = desperation
that reflected TO the fullest ext ent the
convictions by which each of the con.
tending hosts we're inspired but il was
not stained by any act of wanton cruel.
ty, or by any neglect Of the amenities,
by which the horrors of the strife OF
civilized nations are mitigated. Amid
all the complications growing out Of
the carnage the master spirit, who was
first in command at the point of great
est danger. and whose keen vision,
prompt decision and heroic energy ssy.
ed an imperilled State and nation at
the most critical point in its history,
was Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock.

THERE can be no better indication
of the desperate straits to which the
Republicans are reduced in Centre
county, than the evident trepidation
of the local leaders. The small fry,
who have been wont to manage the
machine and conduct campaigns, are
summarily remanded to the rear,
while the grave, dignifed heavy
weights, who have only been visible
on extraordinary occasions in the
past, are now hastily hustled to the
front and compelled to become hewers
of wood and drawers of water. Even
General Beaver, the distinguished re.
cipient of Don Cameron's questionable
favors at Chicago, who is gazing with
longing eyes toward the Gubernato-
rial mansion at Harrisburg, has been
compelled TO stoop from the lofty ped
estal upon which his soaring ambition
has placed him, to do the ordinary
work Of the ward striker. 1t was
a sight for the Gods as General
Beaver swung himself from post to
pillar in Bellefonte, paper in hand,
pleading with the soldier element to
pledge themselves IN writing TO sup.
port Garfield. Truly the taskmaster
draws heavily upon his vassals, and
General Beaver is dearly earning
whatever reward tickle leaders may
have in store for him in the future.
