One of Miss Eva Brady's eyes has been crossed for some years, causing a deformity. She submitted to an opera tion last week by Dr. Brown which re sulted in making the eye straight. All the iron works are closed in Danville. The men were asked to sign a new schedule of wages, which they refused There is no indication of a compromise. Rev. F. B. Biddle is making great improvements on his dwelling house on Centre street. The brick and wood work is all being painted, and the car penters and masons making general repairs. The side walks along First street between Market and Centre, and along Fifth street between East and Catharine, need the attention of our progressive Council. They are very dangerous and should be graded and paved at once. Catawissa had a big time on the 4th. An eloquent address was delivered by Fred T. Ikeler, and Judge Ikeler made an impromptu speech at the request of the chairman. There was a big crowd and fine parade. In the even ing there was a nice display of fire works.

Mr. Townsend is a fine, and careful workman, has had experience in the leading jewelry store at Carlisle, a graduate of the Ophthalmic college of Chicago, and withal a first-class bus iness man. We are glad to learn of his location in Berwick, and wish him the abundant success his ability de serves. The Columbian last week con tained about eleven columns of matter concerning the Normal School and Commencement week exercises. The paper was on sale with a synopsis of all the essays and orations within an hour after their delivery. This exhi bition of newspaper enterprise was re warded by the sale of about 700 extra copies of the paper. We are indebted to Prof. Albert fur much valuable as sistance in preparing the reports, and to Keller Albert for his efficiency as a newsboy.

If the weather should be unfavorable that day, excursion will go next day. Everybody invited. The many patrons of The Colum bian who have responded so prompt ly and cheerfully to our request for settlement of subscription arrear ages, have our thanks. There are still a number from whom we would like to hear It is estimated that seven hundred people attended the excursion up the B. & S. to Central on triday, from Espy, Bloomsburg, Lightstreet, and Orangeville. It was a bright day, and everything passed off pleasantly, Quite a number of the party dined at the Proctor Inn, Jamison Litv. George Breisch of Main township is announced this week as a candidate for sheriff. His name should have appeared two weeks ago, but the copy was accidentally lost, and its on.ission was not observed by the editors until attention was called to it this week. The omission was entirely uninten tional, and we regret that it happened. Be a man I Some men take a news paper for four our five years without paying for it, and then when a bill is presented they get mad and say, "the paper is no good anyhow. There's nothing in it." If you don't like a newspaper, pay up and stop it. Don t sponge on the editor for several years and then abuse him when he wants his pay. Be a man ! It is said that the body of Smiler, one of the men executed at Sing Sing by electricity, on Tuesday, was bad ly burned. His face was scarred and seamed, his eyes mutilated, his hair, mustache and eyebrows singed off, and his left leg burned to the bone by the electrodes. The bodies ot the other three murderers were buried in quick time. The past year at the Normal schoo! has been one of the most successful in the history of the school. Prof J. P. Welsh and his estimable wife have proven themselves entirely competent, Prof. Welsh is not only a thorough disciplinarian, a man of broad views, and extensive learning, but he is also a man of plain, common-sense, every day, practical business ideas, and he carries these into the management of the school in all that he does. The prospects for a large attendance in the fall are very bright It is a source of gratifiicattonto the citizens of Columbia County to know that the Wilkes Barre & Western Rail Road has completed its line to Orange ville and that the time tables show the runnini; of the trains arranged so that citizens of Bloomsburg and throughout the entire Fishingcreek valley, desiring to visit the north western portions of the county and V est Branch Valley can do so.

SUPERINTENDENT JOHNSTON'S EEPORT- On assuming my official duties most of the schools of the county were found to be in fair condition . however a number were not in as good condition as they may and should be. Good work wherever observed and there has been some good work done this year has been encouraged and impractical methods have been dis couraged. Substantial buildings were erected : in Orange, Fishingcreek, and Sugarloaf ! townships. One in each. I Slate black-boards were put in one ; scnooi m uemiocic. tnree in oreen wood, and seven in Locust. Locust now has such boards in all the schools. Flags were put in the schools of Centralia and ConynghaT. 1 he Bloom directors having exam ined many courses of study of the best schools of the country have adopted a new course for their schools. Practical business training, short hand, and Type writing are included in the course, and such instruction is contemplated as will fit the graduates of the High school to enter the Senior class at the Normal. This Board is also considering the subject of Manual Training. Improvements are being made throughout the county in the school houses, apparatus and furniture, but not sufficient attention is given to the out-buildings and the grounds. Fifty-seven of our teachers are Nor mal graduates; five hold permanent certificates; twenty-eight hold profes sionals ; and one hundred and twenty two hold provisionals. The standard is being gradually raised and there is an encouraging ten dency among teachers to secure higher grade certificates As a rule our teachers are earnest, faithful workers. There are still a few who do not seem to realize what is re quired of a teacher, or, realizing it, lack the energy to do that which may justly be expected of them Vet with our present teachers doing more professional reading ; working more unitedly with the same definite end in view; taking more interest in Teachers' Associations; and with closer supervision which appears in the distance, there is no limit to the good that may be accomplished by our schools. Our directors are doing commenda blc work. They seem to be earnestly working to have better school-facilities and better schools. The Directors' Association is in a flourishing condition. Every school in the county was visi ited once, and a number twice. It is possible to Aisit schools twice in districts having a term of eight or ten months. Once before the other schools have commenced and once after the others have closed. But owing to the large territory to go over one visit is all that can be made to schools having the minimum term. In every district one or more direc tors and sometimes citizens usually accompanied me in my visits. In several districts the directors visit the schools regularly. It is most desirable that such be the case in all. The Normal school under the able leadership of Prof. Welsh is in a very prosperous condition. The largest class in the history of the school was graduated this year. Prof. Russel with three assistants is doing good work at the Greenwood Seminary. . The Orangeville Academy in charge of Prof. Moore is sustaining its reputa tion among the institutions of learning of the county, A good and largely patronized Pri vate school in Bloomsburg is conduct ed bv an efficient educator, Miss Amel ia Armstrong, ably assisted by Miss Mildred Knorr, a graduate of Vasspr. The Berwick, Catawissa, and Cen tralia High Schools sent out a number of graduates. By those competent to judge, the county institute was a great success. The instructors and lecturers pres ent were Hon. D. J. Waller, Jr., Supt. Walton, Misses Armstrong, Knorr, and Miller, Mrs. Welsh, Profs. Welsh, Wilbur, Noetling. Becht, Cope, Har kins, Albert, Geddis, Richardson, Hall, Rev. Steck, Dr. Hedley, Meig Sisters, and Mrs. Mary A. Livermore. Dr. Je rome Allen of New York city, and Prof. Brumbaugh of Huntingdon were absent on account of sickness. Seven successful local institutes were held during the year. As brief accqunts of each were given in the monthly reports nothing further will be said here. My thanks are due and heartily ten dered to the Department for friendly counsel ; to the press of the county for valuable service rendered , to directors, teachers, scholars, and citizens for their kindness and co-operation.

The coal "jim mies" or "hoppers" were condemned by the company at that time. There are, however, 1 1,000 of these unsight ly cars on the road. Under a recent act of the Legislature of the State of New York, on and after September 1st, 1892, all cars entering the State of New York must have patent coup lers. This act also forbids the run ning of four-wheeled coal cars. This necessitates between now and then the demolition of 11,000 coal "jim mies," and the erection of a great number of eight wheeled cars to take the place. These cars will be made largely by the Jackson & Woodin Manufacturing Co., at Berwick, and the prospects are that business in that town in consequence will be very lively for the next year or two.

The large dining hall at the Normal was filled with the members of the Al nmni Association, the trustees, the Faculty, and their friends, last week Thursday afternoon at the Alumni dinner. Nearly 300 people participat ed. John M. Clark presided as toast master, and after the dinner was over, a well prepared program was carried ou', beginning with vocal music by Messrs, Colley, Yost, Ent and Yetter. The toasts were as follows: "The Trustees," responded to by James C. Brown ; "The Faculty," responded to by Prof. J. M. Conghlin ; "Woman," responded to by Bess T. Wintersteen of '89 ; "The Teacher," responded to by Harry O. Hine, of '85; "The Alum ni -ae" responded to by John M. Gar son Esq. of 7 1 ; "The Class of "91" responded to by Kittie Longshore. Miss Bertha Colvin of '90 sang a pretty solo, and there was more good singing by the male quartette. It was one of the most successful events of the kind in the history of the school. REV. SINGER'S REPLY. Stillwater, July. 6, 1891. Editors of the Columbian. Gentlemen : In last week's issue of your paper, there is an article writ ten by Rev. Mr. Houtz, in which he says he has been informed that Mr. Singer is not in good standing in his own church. W ho ever told Mr. Houtz that told a falsehood. I have as good standing in as good a church as Mr. Houtz or any other preacher in Penna. for all of which I refer him to my let ters of commendation from the Zion Christian church, Spear P. O. Washing ton Co. Pa., signed by elders, John Fry, Lott Winnett and Samuel Fry. Attested by I. W. Hill, Elias McHenry Daniel McHenry, E. Beishline and V. L. McHenry Elders of the Christian church. Very Respy. Yours. R. H. Singer. The Potato Louse- A new insect has made its appear ance in this section of the State, and for want of a better name it has been christened the "potato louse." It is a worse pest than the potato bug, for the bugs can be shaken off the potato stalks, but the louse can not. Paris green will kill the bug but this poison does not appear to have any effect on the louse. The farmers have tried many ways to get rid of the louse but have not succeeded so far. The louse is very small, so small as to be hardly visible to the naked eye, and they cover the potato leaves so that scarcely any of the leaf can be seen. They eat the leaf and in a few days it will be withered. It does not take long for the insects to destroy acres of potatoes. Any one discovering a remedy to kill this pest will be a blessing to man kind. Ex. Hunger is the Best Sauce ! As a rule, a person who has a good appetite has good health. But how many there are who enjoy nothing they eat, and sit down to meals only as an unpleasant duty. Nature's anti dotes for this condition are so happily combined in Hood's Sarsaparilla that it soon restores good digestion, creates an appetite, and renovates and vital izes the blood so that the beneficial effect of good food is imparted to the whole body. Truly hunger is the best sauce, and Hood's Sarsaparilla induces hunger. The following letters are held at the Bloomsburg, Pa., post office and will be sent to the dead letter office July, 21, 1891. Philip Graham, Mrs. Annie Giger, Miss L. C. Howet, Mr. A. A. Kelley. Persons calling for these letters will please say they were advertised July 7, 1891. One cent will be charged on each letter advertised. A. B. Cathcaki', MARRIED. On July 1 1891, at the home of the bride's parents, Miss Jennie C. Rhoads of Sunbury and Mr. H. K Dieffenbacli of Bloomsburg were united in holy wedlock by the Rev. J. H. Weber. The bridesmaid was Miss Katie A. Neiss of Harrisbtirg, and the best man W. H. Treible of Hazlclon, Pa Miss Annie K. Dieffenbach of Turbotville, Pa., performed on the pi ano. While she played the sweet strains of a wedding march the happy couple marched slowly into the parlor aud appeared before the Hymeneal altar. After the ceremony was com pleted, all repaired to the dining room, where a bountiful repast consisting of dainties and delicacies, appropriate to the occasion, was partaken of. In the evening the newly married couple went to Bloomsburg to the home of the groom's parents to spend the hon eymoon. In one week they will .Jake a tour to Minneapolis, Minn., to visit the groom's sister, Mrs. O T. Weid man, where they will Sjtay for one month. When they return they will make their home at Sunbury.

The Germ Destroyer- In the field of discovery and inven tion, medicine has not kept pace with surgery. That, perhaps, is natural ; service surgery is the mechanical branch of medicine. The general ac ceptance of the germ theory of disease however, opens a new field for medi cine, and will take it completely away from the mediaeval supersititions that still cling to its skirts. And yet medi cine is not without its discoveries. It has long been known, and the fact is now recognized wherever the test has been made, that Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) will destroy the germs of malarial disease, the microbes of skin disease, and the bacilli of contagious and other forms of blood poisoning, ejects them from the blood, and purifies and bui'ds up the system. No medical discovery of our day has achieved such remark able success. Hot Weather Vacation. We will close our gallery on Satur day night, July 18th, for vacation. Will reopen on September 1st.
