The Waterman says that "Mrs Bow
er, grand aunt of G. NJ. Bower, Esq, of
this place, died in Aaronsburg few days
ago. She was 81 years old"
The stanzas by "Carl Schreiber,"
which appear elsewhere in the DEMOCRAT,
were inspired by cigar. 1t was proba-
bly, purchased at Green's drug store, where
all the inspiring cigars come from.
If one half that is said proves true in
regard to the changes of residence to take
place among the people of this borough on
the first of April next, it will be one of
the greatest "Hitting" days on record.
If there is one reason more than
another why the ladies should envy their
husbands it is because the latter can dress
so nicely by spending few dollars at the
Philadelphia Branch, while the former
poor creatures-must spend hundreds Of
dollars to produce the same effect.
Eli Green, Altoona's fat man, died
last week. He weighed 440 pounds and
this excessive weight was all in his body
as his limbs were of the ordinary dimen-
sions. He had fallen on the ice twice this
winter, ard his death is thought to have
been caused by injuries received in this
manner.
Our Republican contemporary suggests
the election of colored man as member
of the school board and suggests Mr..
George Skinner. If the voters shall see
fit to choose q representative of the African
race, George is perhaps better fitted for
that position than any other that could be
found.
The death of Miss Maggie Apt, daugh-
ter of the late Mr.. Martin Apt, of Hub
lersburg, occurred on Friday of last week.
Her death was the result of injuries re-
ceived in falling from tree last fall. The
funeral took place on Monday, her body
being consigned TO the earth in the Cath
olic cemetery of this place.

Mems Christian Association Of this place.

and throughout the county. All are in
vited.

for them to wait until 1884, when they
will again have the royal right to "pop
the question"
We have recently seen report that
the long lost Charlie Ross has been dis
covered among the Tuscarora Indians.
We cannot vouch for the truth Of this
rumor, but are quite sure that the best
place TO purchase groceries is on Allegheny
street of this borough. II is known as
the store of s. A. Brew & Son, Give it
q call.
1t is commonly rumored on the street
that large store will soon be opened in
Bellefonte and will be conducted upon
strictly cash principles. The goods are to
be sold al Philadelphia prices and the long
credit system is to be rooted out. II Is
saId that Mr.. ID. p. Peters, Of the Bush
House, Is interested in this enterprise,
and If go 1t will no doubt be successfully
carried out.
