1t is reported by Wolfe people that Bea-
yer presented license petitions to the Centre
County Court. They endeavor to make
that point against him. Beaver says that
he presented the petitions to Court as
lawyer. When Wolfe was In the Legisla-
ture some member challenged him for hav-
ing taken one thousand dollars. Wolfe
answered that he received the money as a
lawyer. Two and two make four
On Thursday evening Mr.. and Mrs.

Of the young people of this place and vicin-

The following notice appeared in last
weeks SENTINEL AND REPUBLICAN: "Hen-
~ Farleman 6ied at his place of residence
at Mexico, Walker township, last Thursday,
aged about 65 years." The notice Is not
correct. 1t should have read Mrs. Eliza
Farlen,an, of Walker township, died at tho
residence of her husband, Mr.. Henry Farle-
man, on the 10th day of August, aged 46
years, months and 80 days. Interment in
Centre church graveyard, August 2lst,
1886.
Samuel Bergy died about 9 O'Clock last
Thursday evening at the house of his sister,
Mrs. Fink, on Water street. In the earlier
hours of the evening he had been up town
to see the family of his nephew, Samuel
Bergy. When he returned to his sisters
place, he was seized with sinking from
which he never rallied. During a number of
months past he had been subject to sudden
sinking sickness and his friends believed he
would be taken from them suddenly. He
was aged about 81 years.
The North American says: In N inter-
view given to representative of The North
American in this city June 10, Mr.. Wolf
said: sit is not necessary to be temper
ahce man IN order to be a Prohibitionist. ;"
This is the sort of Prohibitionist he is.
Drunkards can vote for that kind of prohi-
bition. Its merely a matter of law, not of
sentiment. There's nothing sentimental
about Mr.. Wolfe. He's entirely practical.
Whether he will continue to charge SIS for
each speech advocating his own election We
have not heard.
On Monday OF week before last, an eagle
swooped down upon an eight-year old son of
Jere Martin, of Hamilton township, Frank

While there the bird swooped down and
seized him by the head, threw him TO the
ground, but did not hurt him, with excep-
tion OF scratching him slightly. The boy
had whip three or four feet long, and in
the tussle with the bird the lash became
wrapped around the eagles neck. The bird
then ilew away, taking the whip alo ng with
it.-Franklin Repository.
