The public schools of every place really ought to be visited oftencr by parents and by tho directors.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week, Jauuary 20, 27 and 29, will long bo remembered for the "blizzard" In this state. Railroads were blockaded all , oyer the state and in many places abandoned. Snow drifts obstructed the trayel on all the roads leading to this place. Even the main thoroughfare between here and Berwick was impassable in many places, tho drifts being as high as the fences, and the roads completely filled. Persons who have a great deal of writ ing frequently experience cramps in tho fingers, which, not infrequently, Incrcaso In violence until it disables tho owner.. The ailment Is thought to proceed from the constant contact of the hand with cold pa per. To prevent this, n small pieco of woolen cloth that will bo perfectly flat should be laid on the paper.

This will supply a demand much felt by Bloomsburg. There has not been a t'mo in the history of the town when houses haye been so much in demand as at present, and tho prospects aro that the demand will continue to Increase. Tuesday evening two large sled loads "of merry peoplo went to the country to sur. prise Mr, Calvin Kressler, son of John Eressler. Tuo party arrived there about seven o'clock, unnoticed by any one until they entered tho door. Calvin as well as his father John Kressler, were completely surprised.

There is but one mall a day from here and that on the 8:44 train in the morning. Tbl Is no improvement over the stage line.

The following communication was mis. laid last week : To the Editor of tho Columbian Sir, will you pleaBO correct the report ot the pro. ceedlngs ot the court, slttlig as a License Court, Jan. 10th, 1888, In the following par. tlculars.

Becauso the rule of court, fixing the 10th day of Feby. 1838, as the time for granting licenses, was inconslstant with the acts of General Assembly in such cases. Tho above aro exceptions to the jurisdic tions of court and not remonstrances. Rout. 8. Howell. There was one young man who awoke last Baturday morning with a throbbing brow and a reproving conscience. He came to town from up the river to attend Gorton's minstrel show, but owing to the fact that ho devoted too much tlmo to un packing glass before tho performance be gan, be entered tho opera house with his interior overcrowded with tbo liquid that Inebriates. He became too talkative and somewhat boisterous, and after being noti fied several times by Policeman Knorr that he must keep quiet and paying no atten tion to tho gentlemanly admonition, he was very properly and without any unnecessary ceremony, ''bounced" from the hall. He thought he was having lots of fun, but when he came to think of it next morning when hid bat was too small for bis bead, wo doubt very much whether he thought it was so very funny after all. The moral is that the Bloomsburg Opera House is no place for drunken men, and they may as well take notice that If they come In and do not behave themselves, they will be put out. Division of Licence Money. There were sixty.five applications for liquor license filed in this county. Of these, 37 were for taverns, 1C for restaur ants, S for wholesale stores, 6 for distiller ies, 3 for bottlers. One application for dis tillery license was withdrawn, tw,o appli cations for restaurant were refused, and two hotels, one in Berwick and ono in Espy, held over until next week. The 11 censo money of wholesalo stores, bottlers and distillers is paid into tbo state treasury. In boroughs the fco for hotels and restaur ants Is $150, and three-fifths go to the bor ough, ono fifth to the county, and one fifth to the stato. In townships tho fee is $75, of which one-halt goes to the township, one-fourth to thn county, and one-fourth to tho State.

ITU) A LONO, DELL INTERVAL In tllO amusement season, tbo past week has, come llko an oasis In tho desert. Every night during the week oxcopt Satur day there has been an entertainment ot somo kind and lovers of comic opera and minstrelsy have had an excellent opportun. tty to witness two ot tho best companies In UiCBo lines that are now trarellng. A company of glass blowers havo been at Muslo Hall since Tuesday and will contln. uo to glvo their entertainments both after, noon and evening throughout tho week. MlNBTBBLBT. When tho curtain rolled up on the first part ot Gorton's Minstrels at tbo Opera House last Friday evening, thcro waa ono of the largest audiences In attendance that has been present at any show during tho past season. These minstrels aro favorites here and arc assured of first-class houses every time they visit our town; and they deserve them, too. Tbo playing of tbo band Is excellent; although tboy did not parado In thn afternoon or play beforo the pcrtormanco In the evening as long as they would have done had It not been so cold, the music they did mako was first-class. Hank Goodman, ono of the few really funny end men, is still with tho troupe and Is just as funny as ever. Tho other thrco end men aro good. The clog dancing of Lnrry McEvoy, tho Turkish patrol and tho acrobatic dancing of Wclby and Pearl wero all flno. Hank Goodman was good in a sketch with O. W. Yreeland entitled "Ktcp your eye on the horn:" tho cornet playing of Prof. Harry Baxter wns excel, lent; John Styles delivered a speech entit led "The future of our country," which was loudly applauded; the afterpiece was good, and tbo show taken as a wholo was the best ono of Its kind that has been seen in this place for somo time. Ol'EItA. The Bennett and Moulton Comic Opera Company opened Uiclr engagement at the Opera House Monday evening with "Mas cot" and played successively on Tuesday evening, Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday evening, "Olivette," "Pinafore" and "Chimes of Normandy". That tho people of this placo were well pleased with tho company was shown by the good-sized audiences that greeted them at every per formancc. All tho comments we have heard havo been favorable. Miss Siegfried is a good actress an 1 has a sweet voice, and the remainder of the company aro well up In their parts. Tho two comedians, Slat- tery and Clayton aro very good. On Mon- day night in tho "Mascot" they kept tho house in a continual roar whenever tiny were on tho stage. In "Olivette" as 'Coquellcot" Mr. Slattery sang "Bob up Serenely," bringing in somo local bits that brought down tho house. Tho matinee, Wcdnes lay afternoon at which Pinafore," was played, was attend. cd by a larpe number of school children; this opera, though It has been sung so murh, is still well worth hearing. The company closed their engagement hero with the "Chimes of Normandy," Wednesday evening, which was given in excellent stylo There was an unusually large audience present. Miss Siegfried was at her best. and sang very prettily, and tho music of this pretty opera was well rendered by the entire company. Mr. Clayton, as Gas- pard, the miser, and Mr. Slattery, as tho Bailll, wero both good. Slg. Cluzettl, the tenor, labored under a disadvantage as he was suffering with a severe cold, and bis singing could not be judged by bis work hero ; Miss Etta Reed took tho part ot Ger maine very nicely and Frank Wooley sang well as Henri. The company will probably play here again next season, and will with out doubt be greeted by crowded houses. The Glass Blowers. Madam Thompson's Bohemian Glass Blowers and European Novelty Troupo who began a series ot scientific exhibitions at Music Hall, bn Tuesday evening Jan. 31st a first class company In every respect. The artistic working of tho commonest kind of glass Into beautiful birds of para dise, ships, and in fact evory conceivable object is something that interests cveryono and forms an exhibition of rare sclcnco und skill. In addition to Madam Thompson's full troupe of Crystal Workers will bo found Prof. Griffin, the Illusionist, Ventriloquist and Fire King, assisted by Mllo Olivia, justly termed the White Witch, a myster ious lady with snow white hair and pink eyes, who reads your innermost thoughts; they appear In continuous houily performances, from 1 to 5 and 7 to 10 p. thus making the exhibition doubly at tractive, both amusing and instructive. The managers have a novel method of glv Ing away tho various artlces manufactured by the glass blowers. Giand voting con- tests take place daily. Tho most pop. ular lady, the handsomest Miss or the homeliest man, as the caso may be, who secures 'he largest number of votes, receives a handsome glass present valued at from $18 to $25. Saturday is school children's day, when the little ones will have an opportunity of showing their appreciation of their favorite teacher. Tho most popular school teacher present re celvlng a magnificent glass present, manu factured by Madam Thompson, and valued at $30.00. The admission Is but 10 cents and each purchaser ot a ticket is entitled to a present and one vote free. Don't for get the place, Muslo Hall, formerly Skating Rink. Third street. Amusement Notes.

Gorton's Minstrels went from hero to Milton where they played in Milton -Opera House Baturday evening. The Jennie Yeamans Company that was booked to 'play "Our Jennie" at Milton Monday night, failed to show up. Duncan Clarke's minstrel show, which played In Danville a short time ago, was pronounced by all the Danvillo papers a "snide." "Under the Lash," a drama that was pre scnled here last Bpring by tho Walter San ford company, has been playing In New York and Philadelphia theatres tor some time past. "Tho Little Tycoon," was presented in Milton Thursday evening of last week by Willard Spencer's company. The perform, anco was highly spekcu ot by the Milton papers.
