L n
man evening school promises to p'
much better than the first.
--Bellefonte has elected colored
school director and brother Tuten is sc
happy over it.
Our band will be very much weak
ened by the leaving Of several of Its
members and the disability of the lead
er, DIR. John f. Harter, whom his ply
sician has advised to quit playing for
the present. Ae as we'll as the band
have our sympathies.
Mr.. Lot G. Runkle is now circu-
lating q subscription fer n summer
school. He is worthy young man.
has good qualifications and deserves to
be encouraged. Send your children.
Don't allow them to spend all their
time ia idleness and mischief.
1t affords us much pleasure to
state that the concert by our Cornet
Band on Saturnay evening was a COM
plete success, both as regards the per-
formances and attendance. The boys
have money enough to pay OIL the
debts resulting from their disastrous
Mifflinburg trip-and are happy.
DEATH FROM A WoUND.-About
the 9th irst., while using feed cutter,
Mr.. VIM. Bingaman, of Hartley Twp,
cut one of his thumbs very badly. 1t
became quite sore-inflamed to the
shoulder-and caused his death on the
10Th, He leaves a widow with six
small children.
You will miss rich literary treat
if you fail to attend the German exhi-
bltion.
After long silence our old friend,
Pete Roieum, out in Oildom, again
gives signs of life. Pete wields the
pen gracefully, and his short, pointed
and spicy articles are always welcome
TO the Journal and its readers. Shall
be happy to hear fromyou often Peter
and when )lca you come yourself we
will give your big, brawny hand
hearty shake.

niger who is confined to his bed with
debility, is slowly improving. DR.. }.

afflicted neighbors and friends
F. 2. Otto and E. w. Mauck were
sent to Washington by our town, to
see to it, that everythingis done right
at the inauguration Of the new Presi-

AS spring approaches number of
our men will leave for other places in
order to get the employment which our
townand neighborhood does not afford.
George Reimstone expects to 90 to
Lock Haven, Sam'l Weiser. Jr., al
though, just elected to fat Office, al
so talks of leaving. sJohn Kerstettsr
