tree on Saturday last, and for a time
his injuries appeared to be of very
serious nature, but he is now recover.
ing nicely. His bruises seemed mostly
to be about the head, which was badly
cut in several places. This should be
a warning to our boys. Too much
caution cannot be exercised.
Miss Nellie Kepler was summon.
ed again to the bedside of her father,
Mr.. j. M. Kepler, in Centre county,
whose illness has become 90 serious as
to leave little hope for his recovery.
Before leaving, Miss Kepler gave di.
rections to the young men who we're
getting out the Democrat to cease their
work, as the paper, for the present a.
least, would not be published.
Mrs. Wm. Hunter, of Nebraska,
died yesterday, after a lingering i'll.
ness. Mrs. Hunters husband died
about three years ago from the effects
Of injuries received in an accident on
the little lumber railroad at Nebraska.
She was a woman highly respected by
her neighbors, by whom she will be
much missed. She leaves a family
which is mostly grown, and who have
the sympathy of all in their affliction.
Speaking of big crops, Mr.. S. j.
Grove, who lives near the mouth of
Tubbs Run, has just cut what perhaps
excells anything in the corn line that
has yet been raised in this section.
He brought down couple of samples
last evening; one stalk measured full
thirteen feet, and contained two very
large, we'll developed ears. Mr.. Grove
says he husked % hills and obtained
two bushels Of cars. He has between
two and three acres and every part Of
it averages up.
"A game of ball was played here
Saturday afternoon last between the
juniors of this place and the Juniors of
Hickory. Although some of the play.
ing was quite good the game got so
one.sided toward the last as to be de.
void of interest. The Hickory boys
did not play anything like the game
they put up on previous occasion,
and allowed our boys to score % runs,
while Tionests held them down to two
tallies. They took their defeat with
good grace, however.
An unusual amount of counterfeit
bank notes and silver is reported TO be
in circulation in the eastern part of
this State. Circulars from Philadel.
phia warn the people to look out for
the deceptive stuff. One dangerous
counterfeit is 50.cent piece. 1t is a
beauty and shows great skill and care
in its make up. 1t is Of the series of
1887, and has the clear ring of the
genuine article. 1t is trihs thicker
than the genuine, and the shield on
the figure side shows slight depress.
ion.
Some ministers in one place and
another are obtaining a cheap noto.
riety by advocating the opening of the
Worlds Fair on Sunday. Such utter.
ances from the pulpit are eagerly re.
ported and in too many Instances
lsuded by the "liberal" press. To
one at this distance it looks as if these
same preachers were taking considers.
BILE liberty with "the word" To folks
who want it that way it may be graft.
flying, but to disinterested folks it
looks like treason. There is God,
and the Bible is His word, and even
ministers should be careful how they
make football of His commandments.
The County Commissioners Con.
veution, held at Lancaster last week,
was the largest aud most successful
one that has yet taken place in the
State. We observe among the pro.
ceedings that Forest county was &C.
corded a prominent place in the de.
liberations, Mr.. Brennan, clerk to our
board, having been made member of
the committee on topics and resolu.
tions, which committee selected him as
its Secretary. The questions discussed
were the most important to the people,
and resolutions were passed on vital
matters touching the welfare of the
public 10 general, not the least among
which was one to petition the next
legislature for the passage Of better
road law. 1t is argued that much
good will come out of these meetings,
the next of which is to be held in
Pittsburg year hence.
1t gives me pleasure to certify that
