Ex-Gov. A. G. CURTIE-Dear Sir !.
Yours of the 14th inst, received, and in
reply we think 1t due to you to say that wa
accept the trust in the spirit in which IL is
rendered. It is only necessary to add that

time representing the unanimous wishes of
the Democracy of Centre county.

-"Take Sechler out 2" our foreman
was heard saying to one of the compost
tors, which set us to thinking (rather un-
usual too, by the way,) and the result of
the meditation was that Mr.. Sechler is one
OF those whom to "take out" is decidedly
difficult. His manner of dealing, the quail
ity of the groceries and other goods he
keeps in stock is such that he is permanent
ly intrenched in the affections and good
graces of large majority of our city's

"A great many persons outside of the
Catholic church approve the action of that
body in prohibiting round dancing. 1t
has never been made very plain why it
should be right for young man, a perfect
stranger, perhaps, to throw his arm around
young woman on ball room floor, and
have the same performance be considered
improper and indecent anywhere else.
In this way ladies are not infrequently
brought in direct collusion with gentle
men (2) whose behavior and general de-
pertinent render them any thing but de-
sirsble society friends of genteel ladies.
There are too many evils covered and hid
den by actions generally conceded to be
harmless. Bishop Laheche, however, when
he prohibited "curled hair and handsome
dress" probably shot clear over the mark
he intended to hit, for an occasional in
stance is made public where hair will curl
in spite of you, and even our plain Metho-
dist lady friends are we'll aware of the
fact that handsome dresses are often mex
pensive ones. Bishop Lafleche may really
desire a return to the plain customs and
common mannerisms of the time of John
Wesley, and if he could. effect this there
would be considerable falling off of bangs
and other fummery that now constitute
such an important part of the average
female make up.

In few weeks the public schools of
Belefonte will be in active operation
Teachers and pupils will return to their
work benefited by the vacation now
about to close. In performing the duties
assigned them it is to be hoped the in
structors will be guided solely by desire
to instruct too many teachers become
masters and thus fail to subserve the end
whereunto they were sent. To those who
will begin with the ensuing term, we
would say teaching is work, nowhere is
dilatorness, Indifference and lazlness less
excusable, and nowhere are the i'll effects
of this plan of action so obvious. Your
work, and the seed you sow, will have
little in it that is good unless your efforts
are guided by earnest, candid desire to i'm
prove those with whom you are brought in
contact. The boys and girls car material
ly assist in the great work by being studi-
Gus, manncrly and obedient. Your parents
and friends will expect improvement.

Somebody writes to the Pittsburg Ga

camp ground. There are SO many things
actually needed-a parade ground free
from fence, a rifle range properly equipped,
sinks at retiring places, buildings for
the safe keeping of forage, tents, and ra-

Why did not the correspondent also stip-

for storing forage, permanent rifle range

The pulpit OF the Presbyterian church
was filled on Sunday morning aud evening
by Rev. Mr.. Marquis, of st. Louis, Mo.
Rarely are Bellefonte audiences treated to
as mastery discussions Of scriptural topics
as they were fortunate in being favored
with on Sabbath last. The morning sub
ject Watchman, what of the night ?" was
intended to inspire those who are prone to
become despondent when circumstances,
over which they have no control, render
everything dark and gloomy, and the
breaking of the day never to be realized,
with courage to enable them to trust in
Him who orders all things wisely. Seldom
is the hungry soul invited to partakc of a
repast so strengthening. In the evening
the problem, so vexatious to commentators
and expounders of the bible, the unpardon-
able sin, was discussed with the same abil-
ity that characterized his morning sermon.
Mr.. Marquis left town on Monday and
will be followed TO his Western home by

INSTRUMENTATION notice in the

resolution was offered appointing you
congressional conferees, which met the an
proval of the convention but from per-

the appointment.
Being of the opinion that the conven.

ask you to accept the trust the convention
would clearly have given you if the amend

posed.

have congressional conierees appointed by
