Our SICK.-Mr. VIM. Miller is slow
ly improving but still confined to th'
house. Mr.. Michael Smith is able t(
be out of bed, but Mr.. VIM. Reifsny
der, Sr., does not seem to be improving
any. He is afflicted with a cancerous
affection in the face. They all have
our hearty sympathies.

SUSAN STEPHENS.
j. A. L,mbert is really one of the
most accommodating and reliable fel-
lows that ever drove stage. Through
out the year he carries very large a.
mount of express goods all along the
route, aud delivers them in person.
Everything is always right and his
charges are really moderate. You can
safely entrust our business to him.
The bakers dozen of prisoners
now in the Bellefonte Jail are strongly
bent on escape. They have made sew
eral attempts to get out and the last
one, the other Thursday night, we'll
nigh proved successful. The vigilance
of Sheriff Dunkle, assisted by chief
of police, Montgomery, w. G. Heinle
and D. Fl. Hastings thwatted the
Jail birds. There are evidently some
very bad characters among them.
Mr.. Morrison's school closed on
Friday and on Saturday he left for
Port Matilda, bis home. He is with
out question one of the best teachers in
the county and a most estimable gen.
tleman throughout, and has endeared
himself to the people of this communi-
ty, both old and young, by strict, COZ
sclentious discharge of duty and an ex-
amplarY walk and conduct. We sin-
cerelY regret his departure.
How TO RAISE CROP OF PLUMS.-
A valued friend gives us his expert
ence in raising plums, as follows Just
before your trees go into blooming
spread a good coating of quick lime un-
der them making the radius as large as
the branches spread. This sure pre-
ventive against the rayages of curculiO
and will not fail to insure plentiful
crop of the delicate fruit.

If every man in town who has a
home and family-no matter whether
he owns the home or occupies it only
as a renter-would make up his mind
to put everything in the best possible
trim, what difference it would very
soon make in the general appearance of
things. And this is the proper time to
do it. Not only should houses and Gel
lars be thoroughly cleansed and disin'
fected, bat stables, wood sheds and
other outhouses should haYe attention.
Gardens should be cleaned up, yards
and fronts raked and swept, ash piles
and othsr rubbish removed, fences
Strengthened and white washed, trees
pruned and flower beds trimmed and
