| SQUAW CORN. On his recent visit
to the Seneca Cornplanter Reservations
the Indians gave Rev. r. Crittenden a
few ears of what is called "Squaw
| Corn" 1t is said to be little earlier
than the common sweet corn and an
excellent variety for table use, as well
as forage plant, having an abundant
growth Of leaves.
Mr.. Critttenden says, Amy mem
ber of any Sunday School in Centre
county can have enough seed for three
or four hills by sending two three cent
stamps to pay package and postage, or
ten cents for mission use, to NJ iss
Jennie Crittenden, Bellefonte, Pa. We
hope at least some of our Millheim
Sunday School toys and girls will man
ifest enough missionary spirit to in
vest the few cents.
THE ROYCE REAPER Mr.. Lem.
Campbell, who has recently become a
resident of Sunbury, is general agent
for the sale Of the Royce Reaper, one
of the popular machines Of the day,
manufactured y l.. Sweet 81 Co., at
Wellsville, n. Y. As IN indication
Of the increasing popularity of these
machines We VIII state tnat Mr.. Camp
bell took the agency for them in this
neighborhood in 1879, in which year he
sold 81 OF them; in 1880 his SaleSamoun-
ted TO 81 and in 81 the number he hand
led ran up to rs, ,an increase of over one
hundred per cent. each year. He has
orders already for over l0J this season,
and viii no doubt double that number
! before harvest. We doubt whether any
other machine can show an equal in.
crease in popularity in the same
length Of time. This may he attributed
to the excellent qualities of the Royce
Reaper, it being of the lightest draught
and is the easiest handled machine in
the market, and as To durability it is
uneXcelled. He is also selling the best
mowers in the market, together with
rakeS and general variety of agricul-
Jural implements. st
BOLD BURGLARY.-On last Friday
night bold burglary was attempted
upon Mr.. David krape, the President
of the Millheim Banking Company.
Mr.. Krape resides about three miles
east Of Aarorsburg, some distance
north of the pike. 1t WAS long after
midnight that the burglars visited the
house. They f st went up stairs and
! securely fastened the door of Mr..
| Krape's room, making him a prisoner,
and then commenced operations on the
safe below. They had already drilled
and charged it with powder, ready to
explode, when for slme cause they be-
came frightened aud made a hasty re-
| treat. This WAS the condition of
things as Mr.. Krape found it in the
morning when he WAS released FROM
his room by nrighbor. No clue has
yet developed Is to who the burglars
were.
Mr.. Levin of the Philadelphia
Branch Clothing Store at Bellefonte,
has given away hundreds of whips bat
the demand still continues; and the
same may be said of his immense and
excellent stock of clothing AMI gents
furnishing goods. Mr.. Levin under
stands his business thoroughly-kuOws
hoW to buy and how to sell-knows ex-
actly what the people want and last
but not least, he knows that free, judi
cious adve ItisiEg pays, and that he en-
joys the full benefit OF printers ink.
'Rah for Levin. 2t
Last week we bad the pleasure Of
a call by two of our editorial brethren
from Bellefonte, Bir Tuten, of the
Republican and Mr.. VanO rmer, of the
Democrat. Reese, who is one of our
own boys, is known by everybody
here. He looks we'll and happy, and
reports himself co mfortable and satIs-
fed in bis new vocation. When he
had US alone, away from the rest of
the company, lie said something about
''getting ma rried," but for the life of
us we can't remember the exact words
and will therefore say no more about
it, lest we state something not strictly
true, which is not our fashion as all the
world knows.
Mr.. Tuten is not much acquainted
with our people. His wicked politics
and Yankee prejudices keep him a
stranger to US. Yet he is a full sized
gentleman for all that, social and gen
