People all seem to have lost cont
dence in the weather prophets, They
all missed It by much, except probably
Mr.. Noll, the snow prophet of Union
county. lie seems to bc entirely relia-
ble.
We met Prof. Wolf, in Bellefonte
last week and he showed us the new
gold watch presented to him by the
teachers of the county at the recent
session of the county institute. Ii is u
real fine one.
The Sel;nsgroYe Tribune says tina
gentleman who recently visited the
eastern penitcntiary and who seen Is
rael Erb, says that the old man is al
work on the shOemaker's bench and
looks quite natural.
The open tcinter still continues.
On Friday morning mercury was down
to S degrees below zero, and on Satur-
day morning down to Is. Since then
the weather was little more moderate
with some snow every day.
ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr.. Philip c.
Frank, residing above Madlsonburg, in
Brush Valley, wishes to announce 10
to the voters of Gregg township that
he is a candidate for the Office of con-
stable, at the coming election.
Prof. Hamilton, of State College
has invented what is considered a very
good Drill, known as Hamlinton's
Seed Drill and Regulator. An effort
is now being made TO form il stock
company for the manufacture of these
drills at Bellefonte.
Mr.. Ole Meek, for many years the
foreman Of the lTdtcnmdn Office, has
recently been appointed to clerKship
at Washington. Mr.. Meek is one of
the best printers in the state, a gentle
man of the first order, aud is both con-
petent and deserving of promotion.
Mr.. Emanuel Brown, late of Mad
isonburg, well known ty the people OF
these valleys, now keeps the Cummings
House, Bellefonte. Mr.. Brown is we'll
liked as landlord and does a good bus
mess, especially do his old friends and
neighbors from the valleys like to stop
with Nan. u
Mr.. ]. r. Smith of Milton, was in
town last week looking up business in
terests and gave the JOURNAL office a
call. He reports their furniture esta0-
lishment at Milton in booming, con-
dition, which we do not doubt, be-
cause we know that they always carry
very large and-fine stock of furniture
and sell at very reasonable figures.
The Harrisburg Patriot in its new
dress looks fresh and clean like new
pin. But this is only small part of
it's merit. 1t is ably conducted, full
of the latest news, and is altogether
the best and most reliable paper we
know of. The Patriot is always day
ahead of Philadelphia papers in the
news.
The Sunbury Democrat speaks of
a law that was passed last winter to
the effect that councilmen this spring
will be elected for one, two and three
wears. The Democrat does not say
whether this law is local or general.
Who can tell what it is ? If it applies
to all boroughs Millheim would this
year elect two councilmen for three
years, two for two years and two for
one year, and this is the way it should
be.
"A part of the building committee
of the Evangelical church, consisting
of Mr.. c. Alexander, w. r. Renney
and Jacob Gephart, accompanied by
Samuel and Elias Lose, visited Milton
last week to take view Of the several
churches there. These gentlemen al
agree that the Methodist church is the
best arranged and best adapted church
in Milton. and they expect as we learn
to model after it to some extent.
On one thing at least, all the pa
pers of the county seem TO be agreed,
an that is the efficiency of our present
board of county commissioners, John
Wolf, A. J. Griest and ii. G.. Campbell.
They have managed the county finan-
ces most excellently in all particulars,
and haye largely reduced the county
debt, as will be seen when the forth
coming county statement comes out.
Not as mere matter of empty praise
and hattery, but in justice and candor
it must be said that our commissioners
deserve the thanks Of the people of all
parties and classes for the manner in
which they performed their duties.
