of Prof. Kurzenknabe's convention IL
the orchestral music, which interspersts
: the exercises of each day. The orchestra
does excellent playing and fairly de-
lights its hearers with their sweet,
melodic strains.

Mr.. Jacob Wolf hS s returned from
the west, after an absence Of over
three mo nths, spent mostly in Kansas
and Illinois. He visited many old friends
and acquaintance, is delighted with the
kind treatment received everywhere, buI
thinks that old Ben rSSlfahnhnV is
about as good place to stay as any
other.
HEAVY Loss. Our friend Hon. w.
K. Alexander sustained an almost ir
reparable loss last week. He was out
on the mountain chopping wood when
a messe niger came for him to doctor up
4 sick colt. William made haste to
VISIT the patient which had in the mean
time recov red, and thus he lost half
day at his WORK. He has the sympa-
thies of the entire community.
Prof. J. III. kurZenknabe'S music
al convention in town is now fairly
urder way, aud there is goodly num-
Der of singers present. Some of the
finest music is being executed and the
class is composed Of some Of the best
talent in these valleys. The concert
which is to finish the occasion on Sat
urday evening promises to be one Of
the grandest treats ever witnessed
in this vicinity.
| WHITCoMB,-T boss clothier of
Lock Haven, again has something new
to say to you in another column.
Whitcomb is as successful in busi-
ness as he is enterprising, and as en-
terprising as successful. He under.
stands the value of printers ink, freely
and judiciously used. Read the new
announcement, for it is to your intel
est to do so. III you buy Of Whitcomb
once you will 60 there again and again.
Fact.
Our friend Rev. J. G.. Shoemaker
came nobly to our reliei this week
just when we needed help so much
with a long and interesting letter. The
reverend gentleman breaches fine SER
mons and writes splendid letters only
he winds up this time little abruptly
by requesting to have his JOURNAL
sent to West Alexandria, Preble coun-
ty, Ohio, whence LIE is soon going,

-The-e is no better place in Penn's
Valley, or for that matter in Centre
county, to buy furniture, than w. r.
Camps, at Centre Hall Mr. Camp un-
derstands his business thoroughly and
is square man to deal with. His
furniture is made OF the best material,
we'll put together, neat and tasty in de-
sign and ofiexcellent finish. If you need
anything in lis lire you would do well
| to give him call, and examine his
stock and prices before going else
| where.
The slate roof on the new church
is complete, as far as it can be made for
the present. 1t is a splendid job of
work and looks well. Mr. Duan Neff,
of Milton, had the contract and the
work reflects credit on the mechanic.
Re has much experience in the busi-
ness and Is reliable man. We pre-
| dict that slate roofs Will become more
general In short time as the costs
are only about one third more than
skingle roofs. Read Mr.. Neff's adver-
tisement in another column.
The Philadelphia Times always hits
the nail squarely on the head, every
stroke-whether in matters Of news or
matters of opinion. The following lit
tie tap is a ''iust splendid" specimen in
the latter line, and it makes 1ls poor
country editors'' feel 50 proud and
happy:
The Milheim Journal has entered up
