BY the Belleionte WdtchmG,
we learn that our friend Mr. G. c
Zeigler, of Rebersburg, has takeI
his departure from Centre county
for Philadelphia, where he expect
to engage in the high and honor
able calling Of journalism. Mr.
Zeigler has fine talents as writeI
and we have no doubt will make
his mark Glueck Su.
That: pleasant, chatty gentleman
Mr.. J. A. Aikens, of the firm OF Bun
nell & Aikens, the enterprislng music
firm of Bellefonte, gave US friendly
call last week. Mr.. Aikens assures Us
that their Arm sells the same kind OF
instruments for less money than any
other establishment in this part of the
State. For example they sell o fine
octave four setts of reed organ at Sos.
Those who contemplate buying an or.
gan or piano would do we'll to call and
see them before purchasing elsewhere.

long experience as a teacher, and his
reputation Is so well known through
out the county that no words of ours

Tomorrow is the first of April
all fools day, as it Ia commonly
called. Guess there will be the
usuaramount Of fools and fooling
throug ghout the county, although
money is less tight than it has been
for several years past and there
should be less fooling on that score
than people have been used to lat
terly. Wish about several hundred
of our subscribers named fool" US
by forking over about a dollar re-
spectively and respectfully. Such
fooling would make our poor heart
rejoice.
-"S326, ,132,67 lying in our banks
subject to check" That's what a
Lewisburg paper says, and adds that
it is entirely too big au amount of
cash TO be lying idle in bank vaults.
Just so brother Cornelius, and if you
but just arrange the matter with your
bankers to have our check honored for
about half the amount we agree to
draw ir out instanter and put 1t to
''liYely use," too. Please advise US by
return mail.
JUDGE H. w. WILLIAMS, Presi-
dent Judge of the district embracing
Potter county, gives a flattering ac-
count of the public morals, economy
and comfort of the people of the coun-
ty that is yet without railway and is
the paradise Of the sports who seek the
deer and the fowl. He says: I'm
twenty years there has not been q
Licensed hotel Or restaurant within the
confines Of the county. There are 9.
! nough of both at all suitable places for
the accommodation Of the public, but
IN none of them Is there a public bar
The sale is conducted therefore al
great disadvantage, clandestinely, and
Is very limited in amount. AS to re-
suits, I can say that while the country
is steadily growing in population and
business, pauperism and crime have
steadily decreased. For the past five
years thecOunty Jail has been fully one
half the time without any other in
mate than the keeper and his family
Twice within the past ten years have
at the regular terms Of court, diScharg
ed the jury on the second day of th'
term without their having been calico
to consider case OF any description
The effect of this system is felt IL
many ways; taxes are reduced, tn
business of the criminal courts greatly
diminished, industry and sobriet'
take the place Of idleness and dissipa
tiun, and intelligence and morality ar,
advanced.
