The New Jail. We are rejoiced to see that
the last Grand Jury liaj the good sensce to re
commend, almost unanimously, a new jail Tor
this county and avoid further disgrace in having
it noticed in the State records a? the worst build
ing of the kind in Pennsylvania, or perhaps in
the United States. We hope now, that the
County Commissioners will do thenis'-lves credit
by erecting a building of the most approved
modern plan, oik: that will not only be credita

mencing the wo: ii. It will require considerable
foresight to erect the right kiud of building to
be occupied probably for a century to come, and
the Commissioners cannot be too cautious in cs
ercising their judgment in the matter. A few
thousands more or less judiciously applied now
may save tens of thousands hereafter.

supper of Northumberland Lodge, No. l'.IG, I. O.
of O. F., on last New Year's evening, was one
of the most pleasant features of that town dur
ing the holidays. The members of the Lodge
have kept up the custom of an annual supper
in their lodge room for many years, when the
wives lake part aud give encouragement to their
husbauds to continue in the good cause iu w hich
they are engaged. The occasion is one of plea
sure, as there is a rc-u:iion of all the members
and their families, who meet to give expressions
of joy that they are permitted to encourage
each other in doing gK).l an 1 benefitting their
fellow men. The supjvr was grand, aud was
presided over by our old esteemed friend John
A. Taylor, now t he o; lest Oil Fellow in this
State. After some two hundred were seated
around the tables impressive prayers were oller
ed up by two ministers, thanking Him, who
rule the nuivere, for the bountiful jrifts, and
to be again permitted to meet together in their
ai:nual meeting. The Northumberland Cornet
Band was present aud discoursed excellent mu
sic. After all having done justice to the good
things spread before them, 1). D. G. M., A. N.
Iliiee, and Grand Warden. S. U. lioyer, were
called on and delivered short addresses, after
which the meeting adjourned at a late hour all

Death or an Aged Citiex or Cavfhon.
On Tuesday, the 4th inst., John Eoycr, or Cam
eron towuship, died after a lingering and pain
ful illneis, at the advanced age of years.

assuming gentleman, beloved by all who knew
liiiu for his exemplary character. He was one
of the early pioneers of Cameron towuship, and

A IIam'Some Present to a Paitoi:. The

ning or the ti.lh ult., surpnscd their pastor,
Rev. W. W. Col burn, by present ing him with a
handsome bible at the parsonage, with the names
of the donors printed on in gilt letters. The
Reverend gentleman has been I lie pusior of the
church for nearly three vtar. and will soon
part w ith the congregation under the rule of the
M. E. church denomination, and this token of
their appreciation of services must certainly hate
been giatifying to him. The bible was pre

and was received by the pastor with much feel
ing. Our young friends in That vicinity know
how to appreciate worth end how to m.-.ke

paired. The Court ('tier and his room are both in a
good state of preservation, ami it may not be
generally known that the desk and eagle quill in
hie room dale back to 1771!. Our friend B.-ckicy
endeavored to make us Ir licve t lie ink stand was
equally aged, but we have some doubt on that
question.
Alter visiting all the rooms up stairs we re
paired to the county offices, nil of which we find
in good order. Wc recoiumeud a new desk for
the Treasurer's room. Also, double desk, case,
for blanks, Campbell's system of indexing and
repairing of gas fixtures for Prolhonotary.
The privy is in the same filthy coudition Grand
Juries always find it. and would rcconimsud
cleaning and a liberal sprinkling of lime.
Wc called on the new Sheriff, who very kind
ly showed ua through the worst constructed, illy
ventilated and most insecure jail in renueylva
nia, if not iu the United States, and as so many
repairs were necessary we concluded the best
thing to do was to say nothing about the needed
repairs but recommend a new jail, which we
most heartily do.
The (irand Jury unanimously request it copy

The maintenance of health is often more dif
ficult than its recovery. Vitiated conditions of
the atmosphere, unhealthy occupations, ex
tremes or heat or cold, and constant exposure to
rough weather, are all so many provocations of
disease. There is hut one sine way of effectually
guarding the system when thus subjected to in
fluences prejudicial to health, aud that is to es
tablish, by judicious tonic and alterative medi
cation, vigur of the body and regularity of its
functions. The properties of an invigorant and
corrective arc happily combined In Ilostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which at the same time that it
infuses unwonted vitality into the system, over
comes all tendency of the btoiuach. liver bowels
and miliary orrans to deviate from regularity in
tiie discharge of functions upou which tho wel
fare of tlie-cntire physical organization is de
pendent. Health cannot ho more (ll'ect'.tally
maintained than by using the Bitters.
