An ominous report that the towr
was to be laid in ashes on last Saturday
night, resulted in frightening nearly
all the women and children in town
and many of them had a sleepless night
in consequence Of it. OF course the
report proved only empty talk, but we
say the less talk Of that kind the better.
AT meeting of the Evangelical
Ladies' Aid Society of Millheim, last

of officers took place with the following

bells, that made noise enough to scare
a ghost out of his boots.
An exchange says that the time to
plant corn, according to the Indian
custom, is when the leaf of the white
oak is as large as a young squirrels ear,
and the rapid developemeut of the
leaves the past few days has caused the
leaf of the white oak 10 attain the pro-
portions desired therefore. the proper
time has arrived for corn planting.
Owing to the rain last Friday eve
ming, which prevented the Brushvalley
Post of the G. 4. r. from coming over,
it was impossible to effect an organ
ization of post in this place at that

Aaronsburg. however, had turned out
strong in spite of the wet weather and
meeting was held in the OddFellows'
hall on Penn street. A few of the G..
A. r. men from Bellefonte were on
hand, among them Commander Austin
Curtin. The work of organization was
postponed until next Monday evening
and if the weather be sair then suc-
cessful meeting is expected.
