Mr.. eddy" Graham, who went to
Philadelphia some time ago for medical
treatment, was taken seriously i'll while
there and his father was sent for. We
understand he is now convalescent but not

unit in wishing him speedy recovery.

After all that any of us can say is
said it will be acknowledged that our
statement is correct that Messrs. s. & A.
Loeb are to-day enjoying larger trade
than any other of the general merchants
in Bellefonte. 1t seems as though the
usual inactivity of trade at this period of
the year has little or no effect upon them.

AT this time, during the heated term
it is very natural for us to desire to wear
as little clothing as possible. But the
time is coming when heavier garments
will be needed and there is no reason why
preparation should not be made now. The
Philadelphia Branch disposed of great
deal of summer clothing during the season

Mr.. Levin and see whether or not he can
give you bargain in fall clothing. There
are many inducements that he is prepared
to extend during the coming thirty days.
The basket-lunch Sunday.school con-
vention at Centre Hill on Thursday, the
18th inst, was the first experiment of the

of the convention was the manifest and
sweetly experienced proof of an essential
unanimity among all the servants of the
Lord. G.

not appear to be one too many on Sunday.
Both were we'll attended, more white peo-
pie being present than colored ones. The
sermon Of Rev. John Palmer, In the after
noon, was exceedingly creditable. We
inferred that it was his "farewell Sermon,
and should he leave Bellefonte, he will
have the pleasure of knowing that his up
right course here has commanded the re-
spect and esteem of all. The parties who
desecrated the Sabbath by loud, boisterous
singing, on the way to town from the
grounds, shonld profit by the good example
Of their sable friends,
