SNYDERTowY, June &c, 1882.

EDITORS DEMoCRAT-GenHen Our
communication this week will be somewhat
curtailed in length compared with last
week owing to the upper tendency of the
thermometer and severe thunder storms,
which kept our old women confined to
their cellars and ice houses.
SOur old Democratic friend, Henry Beck,
familiarly known as "Grandpap Beck" is
now permanently fixed in his new resi-
dence which will stand as monument to
the builder as well as protector. Our space
forbids US giving minute description of
this handsome domicile, suffice to say it is
more comfortable to sit in than to set on
bag of dollars and as old Mr.. BIS head is
sivered DER by the frosts of many winters
and his cheeks blanched by the tolls and
labor of as many summers, he will no
doubt appreciate what he has justly and
honestly amassed. May his declining
years be as happy as his surroundings in
dicate.
We presume next Friday, the Both inst,
will witness the vindication of the law in
the execution of Guiteau. We would sug-
gest that he be suspended from the Capitol
dome with an OK yoke until dead, then
shot into the Atlantic, swallowed by
shark, the shark swallowed by whale, the
whale swallowed by the Devil, and he
chained in Hades with the door locked,
key lost, blind man hunting for it and
no locksmith found to forge another.
Our worthy citizen David Walters,
member of Post No 95, 6. A. R. is de-
serving of great credit for the interest
he is constantly manifesting in regard to
comrades living as we'll as dead. He
keeps the graves of dead comrades in our
cemetery neatly trimmed with flowers TO
perpetuate their memory and is exerting
himself in behalf of those who are trying
to obtain pensions for disabilities incurred
from exposure while in their country's
defense.
Our farmers are busy overhauling their
machines preparatory for the coming har-
vest, the women are straining their nerves
to know what to place on the table to re-
fresh the inner man and soon the scriptural
injunction, ain the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, ;" will be verified.
Wb;io ,r;dino orreoivos or, tLo total da
struction of the potato bug for the time
being, our dignity has been somewhat low
cred by substitute, ten fold more de-
structive, in the shape of the grape lug,
They have eaten the leaves of the grape
clean as we'll as most of the beans, and
yesterday attacked the artificial flowers on
lady's hat while in church, after de-
vouring that they tried her fan for dessert.
On Wednesday last our champion pedes-
trian, f. j. Warner, walked from here TO
Wayne Station and back by the way of
Howard, distance of fifty miles, consid-
ering he has but one arm to walk with it
was quite feat.
We expect to have two or three we'd
dings to record soon, if we are to Judge
from the amount of billing and cooling
done and from the chewed up psling every
where noticeable.
Having just come in contact with the
business end of bumblebee we will close
by asking pardon for our seeming trans
gression from what VIC intended at the
start. Eros.

Half an hour spent in the grocery
store of Sechler & Co., will give one an
idea of the immense proportions of the
provision trade in Belleconte. The stock
is so arranged as not only to be at all times
accessible to clerks, and thus facilitate
purchasing, but in such a tasty manner as
to cause beholders to compliment the skill
displayed. The consumers of groceries
will find this the most reliable house in
town. Remember they sell anything edi-
BILE at rock bottom prices.

THE PEsNsvAL1EY CAVE. -Geogra.

The PENNsvALLEY CAVE. -Geogra-
pliers delight to note and descant upon the
wonderful beauties and marvellous forma-
tion of the "Giant's Causeway," "Fingal's
Cave" and "Niagara Falls" but owing
to its comparatively recent discovery, our,
in all probability, the greatest, grandest
and most sublime of the manifold freaks
of Nature, has remained unknown to the
ontside world.
This cave is situated in the centre of the
beautiful, productive valley forming the
eastern portion of our county, on the farm
of Mr.. - Long, about thirteen miles
from Bellefonte, just far enough to render
pleasant the drive there from this place.
The entrance to the cave is effected by
descending long, steep fight of steps, to
the yawning mouth of the suhterranean
wonder, which in its apparent anxiety to
engulf visitors, is sufficient to frightcn
many of those who venture there. A
number of boats are anchored at various
parts of the waters edge, for the floor of
the cavern is covered, to depth of from
ten to twenty feet, with water remarkable
for its purity and clearness, over the
bosom of which the boat bearing the
pleasure seekers is slowly and cautiously
propelled by the guide, whose upright
form, in the shadows cast by numerous
lights, reminds one of pictures of the CO.
lossus of Rhodes, SO void of explanatory
information is he. After distance of
twelve hundred and sixty feet, has been
traversed the boat is turned around, and
so innumerable are the wonders that every
thing seems new. Stalactites resembling
punches of bananas, curtains, icicles, some
so thin, Transparent and gause-like as TO
excite the covetousness of ladies, who
often remark that no lace can be more
delicately beautiful. These stalactites if
favorable opportunity is afforded are eager
ly broken off and carried away.
Two dry chambers, less extensive than
the one described, add to the interest of
the cave. In these the stalagmitic forma-
tions resemble different objects, the most
curious of all is the pulpit, perfect in all
its appointments, and impreSsing the be-
holder with revcrential awe. These an
nexes to the cavern proper afford geolo-
gists an excellent opportunity to examine
and analyzc geological curiosities.
Taken all in all we do not doubt that
the time is not Ear distant when the Ienns-
valley Cave will be as extensively and
favorably known as any other of the great
wonders of the world.

The Mill Hall Woolen mills, at Mill
Hall, were discovered to be on fire at one
O'Clock this morning in the northwest
corner of the building under the stairs.
The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary
origin, and was the second time the factory
has been on fire during the past month,
The loss is variously estimated at from
$4,000 to S11 900 on which there was an
insurance to the amount of $7,250.
The destruction of the mill will throw
number of hands out of employment and
will be q serious loss TO Mill Hail. We
have not learned whether IL will be rebuilt.

Fort Dunkle, had for some time Law.

Fort Dunkle, had for some time lav-
ished all its wonted hospitality upon two
men-Murray and McAlley, and every
effort was made by the persons in charge
to render their stay pleasant and comfort
able, but with the contrariness that char
acterizes mankind in general, they found
the accommodations insufficient, got mad
and left. Now most persons suppose that
prisoners cannot walk out of Jail whenever
they may feel inclined to go elsewhere.
They effected their escape through the cell
floor to the apartments of the Sheriff,
thence to the back yard, scaled the prison
walls and are still among the missing.
The crimes they had committed were of
little consequence, perhaps, but it would
have been the same had they been guilty
of the most glaring offences, and the atten-
ton of the Commissioners is once more
called to the existing defects in the Jail.
From private telegram from Houtz-
dale we learn that brutal prize fight took
place near that town, commencing ut 5
o'clock yesterday morning. The comba-
tants were two local pugilists named Thos.
Reese and Daniel Reese. We are not in
formed whether any relationship exists
between them. Forty-three rattling rounds
were fought in forty nine minutes, when
the sponge, their man being so dreadfully
punished that he was not able to respond
to the call of time. The battle was fought
for the purpose of deciding which was the
better man, but stake of 500 side was
thrown in to make the contest exciting.
A large crowd of men and boys witnessed
the mill, and the local authorities made no
attempt to nterfere-Attoona Tribune.

CLEANLINESS IN THE DAIRY The sides
and udder Of every COW should, before
milking, be thoroughly brushed and cleans
ed of everything that can fall into the milk
pan. The farmer should place over the
can which is to convey his milk, two cloth
straners, of unequal thickness, the thicker
one being below the other. The lower
one is best made of thick woolen flannel.
A woolen strainer will often take out a
good deal of foreign matter that a linen or
cotton one would let through. AS often
as matter accumulates upon them. they
should bo turned over and rinsed till they
are clean. This would be but small
item for each dairyman to do, and it would
make n material difference in the quality
of the butter or cheese that is to be made
from it. This little attention to cleanliness
would, like every other tidy act connected
with the dairy, pay we'll in the long run,
because it would make the goods so much
more satisfactory and desirable. 1t would
not remove entirely the necessity for
straining at the factory, because flies and
other objects which it is impossible to
avoid are always liable to drop into milk
while being handled, that must be got out,
but it would keep out so much soluble
matter that now goes in, as to make q
material improvement in the products oi
the factories - Chicago Lire StOct Journal
