Ourcitizecs were greatly impressed with tl;e
gentlemanly conduct of the members of the 131st

Mjldicrly conduct has won the etecm of our ci
tizens. Conih-ctohs Railroads. The appoint
ment of ticket agents ou passenger trains, origi
nated, we understand, through a suspicion of
dishonesty on the part of several conductors in
the northern part of this State. Since the ap
pointment of the agents ou these roads, the com
panies discovered that their apprehensions were
correct. We have not heard, however, of a tin
gle case on any other road. We presume that
a conduct oiship is similar to other business, and
companies are just :s apt to employ, occasional
ly, dishonest men, as well as bankers, manufac
turers, sc., but to hire men to watch over them,
in our opinion, i a matter calculated to dishear-
tea those w ho have been true to the interests of
the:: employers. Many of t lies.' employees have
been lead to dishouesty from not receiving siiUl
cicul wages to defray the nccesjiy expenses in
cident to their situation. A conductor's position
is one of great responsibility, and tiny should
lie liberally rewarded. They Mre required through
the nature of the position to be at greater ex
pense than an ordinary hand as they are requir
ed to mingle in the society of those having
means, and were tt.ey t appear as mere servants
aiiioiig them, tiiote in whose employ they are,
would soon dispense with their services no mat

e with the remark of a
I passenger ou the train lately, who is a gentle
i man of mcius, that if railroad companies were
to add half the wages they pay ticket agents to
the wages of conductors, they would save one
half, and have more honc.-t conductors in their
employ.
Tuf. editor of the Daily, of Friday last, says he
was informed that the overseers of the poor have
in some instances refused lodging aud breakfast
to stranger vagrants. We have b. m informed
by one of the overseers that such is not the case
that all vagrants who have applied, thus far
were properly careA for excepting one. and he
was seen during the day spending his money for
I whiskey, and when lie applied was in a state of
j beastly intoxication. The overseers believe all
j such persons uuworthy, and when parties are
known to squander their money for liquor they
do not believe that they would be doing the pub
lic just ice by giving them aid.

the porkeis which he has just put up for winter
use and the stock remaining in the pcu, he will
be bard to beat iu the pork line. Having too, a
beautiful residence iu our sister town with all
the conveniences, and such an abundauce of

Rev. John Hewitv, of St. Paul's Episcopal
church, lJloomsbur'., has finally determined uot
to accept the cal! of the church at Lock Haven.
When the o:,uouiici-ment was made here that
such a call had been made and was b.-ing seri
ously considered by Mr. Hewitt, a spontaneous
aud nuauimous sentiment was at once aroused
and a determination expressed to retain him.
The vestry and cougreeution promptly aud un
animously protested against the change, made
an addition to his salary, and proffered other
acts of kindness and confidence which Mr. Hew
itt could not disregard. We believe the reverend
gentleman had two other calls under considera

up with an entire new stock of goods. The stock
having been let run down to get all the old styles
out of the way. Mr. Dissinger has gone to the
city where lie is now buy ing au entire new stock
while goods are low, and will open in a few days
a larger stock than ever. As he is buying liiB
slock for cash, he will be able to undersell all
others for the cash, w hich will be a great benefit
to the purchaser as they will be able to make a

Wi: observe by the newspapers, that the Ba'ti
more fire place heaters have takeu the highest
premium at the Fair of the 'Americau Institute,"
in New York, which closed a few weeks since.
These heaters are manufactured by Messrs. Bibb
.t Co.. in Baltimore, who in the last six or tight
years have made every improvement that inge
nuity and experience could suggest. The radi
ating surface is unusually large, aud the maga
zine most capacious. These are very important
requisites in ttoves of this character. These
heaters have :i world wide reputation, and justly
so. They are not only more beautiful than the
ordinary stove, but more couviuient, and per
form quite as much service, in the room where
located, besides healing the secoud, and often
the third story rooms mo-t effectually. Th'-ir
best recommendation is, perhaps, the fact that
where they are once introduced they are almori
always duplicated, and no other class of stoves
come in competition with them.
