It is a very good production, al though not the best that has been made ot the opera; It is perhaps the best that has yet been on the road. Mr. Bpcnscr carries a large tioupe, comprising in all 52 persons, Including a good-sized and excellent or. chestra. The costumes used in the per. formance are specially fine. Quite a largo number ot people from Bloomsburg went down to see It, many driving down, while a number went down In the cars and re mained over night.

Tho W. & W. railroad has a branch running from Eycrsgrovc, termin ating at Mlllville. Some, trade is carried from tho surrounding country to Watson town, since the Introduction of tho rail road.

Tho first Is finished in birch and will bo used as tho office. Tho next is a handsome, large dining room. The walls and coil Ings of these rooms were neatly papered and painted by Messrs. Bodlne and Barn hard. The front of the second floor Is an elegant parlor, and the remaining rooms are for boarders. Tho third floor is divid ed Into fourteen large sleeping rooms. Many of the rooms are laree enough to ac comodate several beds upon an emergency. Mr. Girton can fell proud of his new hotel, and by keeping a first-class house should soon be liberally patronized. Get all tlielr Money Back. In 1873, several ot our leading citisens wero induced to insuro in the New 1ork Life Insurance Company. They took plain life policies, at tho lo-vest rate of premium for the protection ot their families, In case ot death ; but by tho famous tontioo principles in uso with that company, pro vided for settlement with themselves, It living, at tho expiration of fifteen years. Now, tho time being up, they are offered a choice ot settlement, paid up lnsurauce, &c.,cash,to continue at less than half rates, In every case, tho cash offered exceeds tho whole amount paid by each. Thus, after fifteen years insurance, they get all their money back, and a profit besides. Messrs Little & Co,, of Pottsvllle, rep resent this old substantial Lite Company. ISaHt Ilcntou.

Daniel Aihelman, ot this place, Is erect ing a wind mill, on top of his barn, from which he expects sufllclent power to run a pair ot choppers, threshing machine, or other machinery that he may wish to at. tach to It. It wilt be a novel affair in our locality, as none of the kind lua over been erected hereabouts. We hope its introduc tion will prove a successful enterprise.

Robtilna'n Winter Circus nt Amer ican limtltutc, New York. Frank A. Robblns. who anocarcd In this Mamh nan h.

Tho Now York JiVenmo Sun has this to say of his en terprise i "Mr. Robbtns's show well de serves substantial encouragement. It Is excellently put together) Its surroundings aro in all ways favorable ; In the matter ot expenso tho projector has been generous, and the Adoption ot a moderate scale of prices gives the venture a peculiar claim to popular patronage. The American Institute Building at Third avenuo and Sixty-third street has been tlansformed into a circus hcadquar. tcrs fully equal In space and general ar rangement to tho demands mado upon It by the Robbtns outfit. The ccntro of tho long floor Is occupied by an elevated stage, and at each end Is a circus ring. In the placo of the famllliar ellipse la a boarded walk, by means of which' access to the boxes and tho ticn of seats is mado easy, Tho boxes skirt the ellipse all the way round. They aro cosey and new, and so aro all tho seats, which rise back of them eight or ten tiers high. The entire struc ture has been decked in flags, streamers, coats of arms, Ac. Quarters for the anl mats and dressing rooms for the perform ers are at botti sides of tha building, while the mcnagcrio is situated back of the scats, from which a stout wooden partition di vides them. It Is greatly to Mr. Kobblns's credit that bis show has no dull moments. Every thing has been rehearsed well, even to the work of tho dozen trained elephants. Tho menagerie Is of good size and re markably sweet smelling. Electric lights In plenty and a powerful beating apparatus do their sharo of making the building com fortable The attaches, Wo, seem more alert and more courteous than the us ual run of circus supernumeraries. In short, all the signs favorable to success are noted In this show, and Mr. Robbtns's en couragement ought to bo substantial." Mr. Rnbbins expects to visit us with his circus and mcnagcrio next season. High Scientific Authority.

License Court, Monday was the day fixed by tho rules ot court for heating llcenso cases. Jnlge Hand of Scranton came down on tho noon train, and Judge Murphy drove up from Ceutralla, reaching hero at eleven o'clock. Judgo Mcllcnry catno down on the 11. Si 8. road oxpccttng to reach hero In time for court, but an accident to tho en gine delayed the truln nud It was four o'clock when ho canio Into tho court. At two o'clock tho votco ot court crier Coff. man announced that the court was In ses sion. As soon as the judges took their scats R, S. Howell Esq. presented a re monstranco against granting any licenses, because! tho publication of tho list of ap plicants In tho newspapers was not in ac cordance with the law, in that it did not describe tach bouse particularly; and I e causo the rule of court fixing tho third Monday of January as the time for hearing licenses was null and void, being contrary to the acts of assembly concerning licenses. Judge Hand over-ruled tho motion, on the ground that It was not filed seven days bo-foro-hSnd as required by tho rules of court, that It was not filed In any particular case; that the publication was all that tho law required, and that the court had full pow cr to make a rulo of court fixing a time for hearing license or to flx4a time without making any rule. Tho first case taken up was that of Geo. W. Klasc, applicant for a hotel llcenso fn Berwick. To this, a remonstrance had been filed, setting forth that tho license was not necessary, and that the applicant was a man ot intemperate habits. Three wit nesses were called by tho remonstrants nnd six by the applicant. Charles Haas one of the bondsmen in this case asked to be per mitted to withdraw his name from tho bond. The court granted a rule to show causo why he should not bo permitted io do this. E. 11. Llttlo and Geo. E. Elwell repre sented the remonstrants, and Col. Freeze and U. B. Jackson, the applicant. The case ot M. A. Marklo ot tho samo place was next heard, C. C. Evans repre senting tho applicant. To this a remon strance was also filed. Five witnesses were heard against, and six for tho llcenso. An objection was mado that the place for which llcenso was asked was not described with the particularity required by tho law, being described as situated "on the south erly side of Front street," but Judao Hand held that this was sufficient In a borough. When the case wi s finished in was six o'clock. Both cases wero held under ad visement. Judge Hand stated his views as follows: I regret that I cannot stay till these cases arc disposed of, but I am holding court my self this week, continued all cases to to morrow morning. I have expressed to the associate, judges my views of tho law coveri ig these cases, and I will state now publicly my view of tho law in regard to the granting of licenses. Some remark was made that the good people of this county were discouraged last year by rea son of the action of the associate judges, some remonstrants thinking that they wcru not treated with proper consideration. I think that if members of the bar could Bit at least one day upon tho bench, determin ing questions between applicants and re monstrants, they would find that tuch a remark was hardly called for, that it is a difficult matter to dispose of these ques tions. A judge cannot allow his own private opinion In regard to temperance to affect him in one way or tho other in deciding these matters; the law lays down a clear rulo for him to follow, as clear as Is laid down to guide him In tho disposition of other cases depending upon oral testimony and upon petitions and remonstrances. When an old house seeks reliccnsc, the presumption of law Is in fivor of tho old honsc, and they who remonstrate against tho granting of Its application most clearly establish that tho old house ought not to bo rcllccnsed; they may do this by testi mony or by tho number and character of the petitioners against the granting 'of the license. The court is obliged to take Into account the age of the house (tho length of time for which It has been licensed); and must weigh tho testimony and come to the best conclusion it can, beating In mind that the presumption In favor of tho house must be rebutted by sufficient testimony before tho application for license will bn refused. The presumption Is against a new house and tho applicant must clearly prove, tlit-t tho houso Is necessary and the applicant a tit person having proper accommodations for tho entertainment of the traveling pub lic; testimony must be confined to theso three points, and may bo limited by tho remonstrance itself to one or to two of these three. Though there be a number of remonstrances against an old bouse, the presumption in Its favor fromlhe length ot time it has been licensed may sometimes, taken together with the testimony in favor of the house, outweigh tha remonstrance, turn the tcale; and persons sometimes think that thu remonstrance is treated with contempt, when, If, they would take into account tho weight of tho testimony, they would not como to any such conclusion. In tbo case ot a new application, it is very much easier to find that the rcmonstronce Is sufficient and to refuse the license lu our district, wo have some places whero from time immemoiial no llcenso lias been granted, because the number and charact er of the remonstrants against it have been such as to satisfy the court that tne applica tion for license should be refused. It might bo different in tiie case of an old house, whero tha application is sustained by a large number of tho inhabitants of tbo dis trict, and persons testify that it Is neces sary for tho village or township, that its business requires tho house to be licensed. I have expressed my views briefly to the associates here In regard to this case and will have to leave the disposition of It with them. The only legal question that can arise is In regard to the distinction suggested by counsel for remonstrants for a hotel and an application for a license; my view Is that thero Is no difference, Pcoplo who peti tion for a hotel understand that they peti tion for a placo to accommodate strangers and travelers with lodging and food aud (it they require it) with Intoxicating drinks; it wltnosscs testify that a hotel is necessary; they testify that a licemed hotel is necessary for the accommodation of strangers and travelers with food and lodging and (If thoy require It) with a proper amount of intoxicating drinks. Consequently, we make no distinction as claimed by tho counsel; I don't lu my court; and have not heard of It elsewhere. Court then adjourned until 0 o'clock Tuesday morning. Court convened oo Tuesday morning, Judges Murphy and Mcllcnry on tho bench. Tha entire day was occupied In hearing tho contested cases ot B. F, Sponenbcrg and August Thlclo of Berwick. The form cr wss a new applicant for restaurant license,-and tho latter an old licenseo, but asking for a new place. It was ab'iut flvo o'clock in tho afternoon wheu the case ot Jacob Blosstr of Espy was c illed. A lareo number of people from Espy Including many ladies were present to hear this ease, whlcu was not concluded until Wednes. day noon. Messrs. Wlntersteen and Bark. Icy represented tbo applicant. Testimony was then hoard In all other new cases where thero were no contests. At three o'clock In the afternoon court adjourned until 0 o'clock Thursday morning, when the court announced Its decisions. All tho applications wero granted but M. A. Mtrkle and B. F. Sponenbcrg of Ber wick. Jacob lllossct's case was continued until tbo first Monday in February. MARRIED. HALTEUMAN BLOOMER.

WANAMAKERS. Philadelphia. MomUr, Jan. 19, 1884. We think we have a trading mission, It's like a railway train with motive power and many cars, and many sub-divisions to the cars ; and many things to make it comfortable, quick, safe. It runs upon a solid roadbed with a track firm and true. One rail of the track is the best mer chandise; the other, the best methods. On this track we have brought unexampled service to the retail buyer. We propose to make the track longer, to run the train further. Therefore we can ill afford to do anything but the best mer chandising, which means that the best opportunities of the retail-trading-world must be found here. SCOTCH GINGHAMS. The Scottish Chiefs of cotton-cloth making give us high art in Ginghams. The highest art is in the plaids and stripes. A Scotch designer revels in a plaid. Some new trophies, twenty styles, drop on the coun ters to-day. 'T would be easy to write of them, but we only hint. 50 cents. The list stands : High novelties in Zephyr Ginghams, 50 cents. High novelties in plain woven Ginghams, 50 cents. Andersons' Ginghams, 40 cents. The aggregate assortment counts styles bv hundreds. COLORED HENRIETTAS. Henrietta Cloth in colors. That means a wool filling-thread woven on a silk warp. The silkworm and the sheep differ in questions of color. A skillful dyer not a thousand miles away has yoked them fast together. We show 32 colors ; price $1.25 a yard; 39 inches wide. There is science and art in these stuffs. The proportion of the fibres is right. They don't slip on the warp. You can make buttoif-holes that button and seams that hold. And colors ! your eye rests only on wool, but the sheen is like silk. Intuitive refinement alone can catch the fine touch of color shown by these shades. DRESSES AND WRAPS. Newmarkets : In rialds and Checks, wltb capes, reduced to S3.
