We have received a copy of the "The Cata logue and Circular," of the State Normal School, at BIoomBburg, Columbia .'county, in this State, for the years 1878-79. In reading this pamphlet we were very forcibly impressed with the high standard of Ihe instruction which characterizes this institution. On n fuller ex amination of the pamphlet we observed tLe names of the gentlemen who constitute the Board of Trustees and the Faculty of the school and thus It was manifest why this standard was so marked. It ought to be a subject for vast pride that there is an educational institution in this State which merits the commendation that due to the liloomsburg Normal School.

A public meeting of Ihe citizens of Blooms burg was held In the Opera House, on Saturday evening, Aug- 2, 1879. The meeting was organized by electing Rev. D. J. Waller Sr, President and Frank P. Billmeyer, Secretary. Mr. L. N. Moyer being called upon, stated Ihat the citizens had been assembled together, to again consider Ihe question o f a supply of fresh water for our town. The plan formerly con sidered and thought expedienl,of inducing fore ign capital and enterprise to build our water works, must now be abandoned , because of the requirement, that our Town Authorities agree to pay $3,000 per year for fire hydrants. It Is necessary then to take hold of some more feasi ble plan, and now is the time to do it. Now, while our wealthy and influential citizens are seemingly anxious to have some efficient and reliable means of extinguishing fires and while nearly every person in our 'town is fav orably inclined toward obtaining a supply of fresh and wholesome water, Is the lime to de velop the earnestness already shown and push the matter to a prompt and successful termina tion. The proposition now, is to Lrganize a home company, with a capital stock of not less than $25,000 nor more than $50,000 In shares of the par value of $10. Through the personal canvass of a self- appointed commilleelherehas been already sub scribed stock to the amount of $14,000. This is certainly encouraging for home enterprise. Let each property owner manifest his inteseit in the subject by taking at Meast one share of stock, aud soon water works will be a real- i'r. Remarks were msde by many of the other citizens presen t. The whole matter of water supply and fire protection was openly and fairly discussed and a degree of enthusiasm was pro' duced, which resulted In additional stock sub, Bcripllons of $0,230, making a total of $20,230, in bona fide supscripllons. On motion of Win. Neal, the President was authorized to appoint a committee, to make a vigorous canvass of the town and solicit subi acriptions tor stock, where upon Wm, Neal, D, Lowenberg and L, N. Moyer were appointed members of said committee. On motion of O. B, Brockway.lt wasreolved that when this meeting adjourns, It adjourn to meet on next Saturday even!ng,Aug. 9th, 1879, at 8 o'clock In the Opera House, to hear Ihe report of said committee.

The officers of Ihe Orangevllle Reformed Charge met In annual session on the 2nd Inst, Opened with singing and prayer. The salary account with the pastor for the year just closing was balanced.

During his pastorate of ten yeara in this charge he has preached 1590 sermons, delivered 700 lectures bsptized , 120, confirmed 132, rrceived on certificate 33, buried 110, and officiated at 50 weddings. The charge during this time has been more than doubled in its membership and benevolence. The following resolutions were then unani mously adopted by the Consistory. Sesotred, that the Orangevllle Reformed church as now constituted wss never In a more prosperous condition than at Ihe present. Resolved, that our pastor, the Rev. A.

Howell, In some neighboring counties we notice small towns and village! with less advantages than those we possess do a largo and thriving business. Their facilities are less, and the question arises as to tho cause. As to Blooms burg we believe it comes from tho want of a true public spirit. Obstructionists and old fog ies oppose every improvement, and what is done is done by n few. Wo remember how strenuously the erection of a poor house was opposed when our taxes were fifteen mills on the dollar for poor purposes. A'owwe have a fino poor house, which is paid for, but a few inmates,and n tux of nearly four mills. Again our town organization was contested inch by inch, yet who would go back to the previous chastic and reckless management 7 So the improvement ofour streets and sidewalks was strenuously opposed by many, and yet we believe that therd is not a citizen in town who desires to return to the old condition of affairs. Wo Aaie gas, and mil have water. Then we will challenge th. state to name a handsomer town. Wo are splendidly located for all sorts of manufactures. Our railroad facilities are perfect our edu cational advantages are without an equal, and our location as to health unexcelled. Nestled in a beautiful plain between the Susquehanna and Fishingcrcek, with magnificant scenery and splendid drives, with fine hotels and cheap rates, Bloomsburg invites the tourist, the in valid, those who would retire from business or enter into it, those who wish to educate their children or seek a summer resort. Our citi zens arc morsl, We believe in proportion to its population there is not as large a church going peoplo in the State. Tho laws are faith fully executed, and crime is rare. But we lack local enterprise in many respects especially in the support of local papers. To those abroad they are an index of the business and culture of tho place. We regret to suy that business men do not advertise their busi ness, as a rule, and tho few who do so expect to .have 'the work done at starvation rates. Patronize your home papers and your business is bound lo increase. VAN t'LEVE IN A NEW ROLE. Some of the Remants cf Ilia last visit to Tamaqua Where the Emngelist is now Summerinfj, Thousands of persons in Tamaqua are thor oughly acquainted with Major H. L. Van Cleve, the eminent temperance 'evangelist who came into town last April and preached and prayed for the cold water cause. Nightly in the sanctuary Ihe portly pol-gutted form of the major moved to and fro over the pulpit, and thrilling stoiies were told of how he became a convert from the botlle, and how others were saved from early graves by giving up their toddy and gentle tipple. Van Cleve was a per suasive speaker, generally very lengthy and gave particular attention to money matters. There is another picture to the good work. While in Trruaqua he gave Mr. George Wil ford, tailor, on Hunter street, orders to make up a very stylish dress suit Ihe one he travel led and exhibited himself in being a very seedy one. On Decoration day he visited town coming from St. Clair, and calling at Wilford's ordered a cassimere suit, which the evangelist now wears and has not paid for. At the same time the Major went into the while vest bust' ness, ordering two at a stroke, and thought that while he was about Ihe thing he might as well order a winter overcoat also. But th latter orders were never filled, A day or two afterward Mr. Wilford delivered the goods and was promised Immediate payment, but the pay ment has never been made. Van Cleve took the Foundry Hill route to the depot where Mr, ilford had gone to meet him. The evangel ist gave a plausible excuse and escaped again. un his recent trip around the country, or ganizing temperance 'unions, pledge societies and meetings to draw li cash.Mr. Van Cleve was accompanied by the Misses Emm. and Irene Randall, whose expenses he was to defray and pay them b' ddei $10 a week. Recently the Major sent tbe young ladles home with a note to Mr. Waller Randsll.telllng htm that he (Van Cleve) would pass through Tamaqua on a certain day, and Mr. Randall should meet him at the train and receive some money. The appointed day passed two weeks ago and al though Mr. Randall has visited every train since then, he has filled to meet the "Evan, gelisl," How many others over town had money borrowed from them la not known and perhaps never will be. The Major Is now summering in Philadel phia and writes to Mr. Randall lo simply address his letters in that way which indica tes a desire to conceal his whereabouts. While la town he showed a remarkable taste to hurry along the financial meetings, more to than could be thought possible in one engaged In his labors. He has since bern in Pottsville, St. Clair and Catawlssa. The man should be passed around. Temperance people every where have an Interest In getting such men as Major II. L. Van Cleve out of aight and where they belong, Ihmafua Cbun'tr, OBITUARY. WILLIAM B BOONS. Our community was startled on Monday last to learn of tho sudden death of William B. Koons, well known to tho people of our county. From the Wilkes Barre correspondent of the&ranfon Republican and other sources we glean the following information. "W. B. Koons, late proprietor of the Bristol House of this city, died yesterday morning at lhis residence on Public Square, about nine o'clock. He had been Indisposed for about a month, acd on last Friday night he was seized with a paralysil of Iho brain, spinal chord, and left side as far as tho loins. Ho became unconscious at that time, and did not afterward recover sufficiently lo recognize any of his famlty. His death was therefore not unexpected, and ho passed away without a struggle. His age was a (rifle over forty-nine years. He Ieayes a wife and two sons, both young men, tho elder of whom is now. and has for some months been, tho proprietor of the Jlristol House, The deceased was a veteran in the hotel business. He took charge of the old Exchange Hotel at Bloomsburg In 18G0, upon the retirement of Dcebler, and conducted it until 1809, when he assumed the proprietorship of the Luzerne House here, but remained only a short time, going back to Bloomsburg to be again the host of the Exchange, which not long after burned down. Mr. Koons rebuilt the hotel, making it, both in dimensions and style, rather extravagant for tho village, and It proved a financial failuro. He came to Wilkes-Barre in Novomber last aud took the Bristol House, keeping it until May, when his older son succeed him as proprietor. W. U. Koons was the son of the lato ex Sheriff William Koons, of Shickshinny. He was a very prominent member of tho Masonic order, belonging to Lodge 205 of Bloomsburg. He was also a chapter man and a prominent Knight Templar of the Commandery at Bloomsburg. The remains will be taken from hero to Shickshinny to-morrow morning on the 10:20 train, and interred at Hunliugton, six miles from the former village, in tho burial place of the family. Deceased, though not long a resident of Wilkes Barre, has made many friends here by his uniformly courteous and accommodating manner. He has been deservedly popular as a landlord, and but for his desiro to keep a better house than the town in which it was located seemed to warrant, would have been a successful one. His death has occasioned hearifelt sorrow among those who knew him here, and he will doubtless bo interred with Masonic honors by tho organization of which he was an officer with few superiors." nernay add that whilst a citizen of this town he served as a member of our Town Council and Board of School Directors. DEATH OP JACOB 0. LEIDV. Carb'-ge, Mo. Aug. 2 1879. Editopi Columbian : A great many of the reade-s of your valuable paper will, no doubl be pained to learn of the death of Jacob Leidy, formerly of Buckhorn, Columbia County Pa., which occurred In this cily on Thursday morning last. Mr Leidy has for over two years past been suflerii,g from a disease that has Indeed baffled the skill of the best of phy sicians abroad as well as at home, He visited various health resorts in this State and Arkan sas, and early last fait went to his old home at Buckhorn and Bloomsburg, and consulted the best physicians there and at Philadelphia without receiving any encouraging hope of cure- It was not (positively known until after his death what the exact nature of the malady was, when it was discovered to be a large tumor weighing six pounds about two Inches above the heart. Mr. Leidy was born in Buckhorn in 1835. In 1801 in company with his brother Martin, he went to the Pacific coast, and visited a number ot territories ; returning to his home for a short time only he again returned out into the West on a prospecting tour, and final ly in 1809, with his brother, Jackson Leidy he came to Carthage, where ho has lived with the exception of a short period ever since. He first started in business by keeping a hotel, and selling out, went to Texas and engaged for a short timo only in buying cattle for the Eastern markets. Returning to Carthage he embaikcd in the furniture business. In 1872 John Bottcnfield, of Ohio went into partner ship with him, and in 1874 Martin and Jack son Leidy, his brothers,were added to the firm, all remaining therein up to Ihe time of Mr L.'a death, under the firm name of Leidy Bros. & Co. Through the energy and ambition com bined with good business qualifications of J. U. Leidy tho firm has established an immense business far exceeding anything of the kind in Southwest Messouri. The other members of the firm are good business men and will main' tain the reputation the establishment possesses. The business houses, during the funeral ser vices were closed, by order of the President of ine iioaru ot Trade, ol which Mr. L. was a member. Mr . Leidy was held in high esteem, and considered one of tho leading and most active business men in this '.city, and whoso word was as good as his bond. Ho was in deed an example of diligence, perservance and integrity. Peace to his ashes. Respectfully, II. II. R UTTER. Chevr JACISON'S BlSTfewerl Navy Ttbaeem. A DRIVE ACUOSS THE MOUNTAINS. (Continued from last week.) My last letter left us at our journey's end, the village of Alba, situated between Canton and Troy in Bradford county. We find here a very different country from that which we left in Columbia county. It is almost exclusively a dairy region, "bradford county butter being celebrated far and near. Very little wheat is raised there. Il is a common thing for the farmers to keep from 15 to -10 cows. It was very interesting lo visit the dairies of some of our friends and observe tho systematic manner in which all the work was done. It must be extra quality of pasture which will enable these dairies to produce on an average 7 lbs. of butter to a cow per week, and that with no extra feeding. And another thing which ice liked was the ice cream with which our friends served us. It was simply rich cream, sweetened flavored and frozen. Alba is a small village, but it has a wide reputation for fine wogons. They have contract now for a number of coaches for Williainsport, to be run by Peter Ilerdlc in opposition to the street cars. It is said that uerdio is about to put up some sort of manufactory at Alba, Two miles from here are the famous Minequa Springs, formerly owned by Mr. Ilerdlc. The principal building was destroyed by fire last winter. The property was lately sold for $12,000. In drive through the ground we noticed several tents belonging to persons who were "camping out ;" we stopped and took a taste and smell of the waters and felt convinced of the medici r ol properties thereof. Canton and Troy ore thriving towns vying with each other in prosperity, Troy aspires to be the county seat of tbe proposed Minequa county. At Alba we had the pleasure of attending an entertainment, consisting of readings aur recitations, given by the noted actress Mrs. E L. Davenport and others, Mrs, D, has summer residence near canton. Afier nearly a week pleasantly spent among friends, we start on our journey borne by a dillerent route. e go down Towanda Creek to Monroetown 4 miles from Towanda. Thence we follow up the Sullivan and Erie R. It, to Dushore, New Albany li a little place on the road, 8 miles from Dushore, which was con sptcuoos for ill signs, almost every house) displaying a lettered board. Dushore although not the Capital', is tho Metropolis ol Sullivan county, We made a short stay of half an hour here and discovered that Dushore boasted a "five cent counter," Wo bought a hatchet with a view to "camping out," but as night came on we reached "Schreyvogels," and being Informed that they had but one large room with four beds to spare," we concluded to try that kind of camping. After 44 miles of travel we found these four beds very consoling. Arising early in tho morning we find the climate very different from what we have been accustomed to. We are very glad lo stay around tho stove while the breakfast is preparing. One of tho members of the party finding two bears chained in the yard, endeavors to mako friends wilh them but on receiving a nip from one of them retires in disgust. Leaving Schreyvogel's wo journey over 8 miles of very rough road, all tho way through the woods, without seeing a house till we reach the hotel at Long Pond. Capt. Conner of Orangevllle, who assists tho proprietor, F. L. Kickelts, received us very cordially. We spent a short time in this place c f exceeding beauty and quietness and then started on Iho last 25 miles of our journey. As wa go down Fishing Creek wo pronounce Columbia county roads to bo superior to any wo have passed over on our journey, and at about three p. in. wo near our little village, nestled at the foot of the knob, we are ready to exclaim, 'Home, sweet Home,' One op the Party. The invalid finds in "Dr. Lindsey's Blood Searcher" nature's great restorer. It Is wonder All. The Camp meeting at Rupert under the aus pices of the A. M. E. Church has been well at tended, and excellent order pr served. On Sunday last we are assured that at least 2000 people visited the ground. A boat load of 125 people are said to have come from Ber wick. A train on the P. A R.
