Mr. S. L. Sellcck, representing the

pleased to recieve patrons and offer
inducements to all in need of sewing
machines. He assures fair dealing
and competitive rates to all.
If dull, spiritless and stupid ; if your
blood is thick and sluggish ; if your ap
petite is capricious and uncertain, you
need a Sarsaparilla. For best results
take DeWitt's. It recommends itself.
W. S. Rishton, Druggist. tf.
In a brief interview with Mr. Hers
kovitch, editor of the Ccntralia Jour
nal, who is the unfortunate guest of
Mr. Mourey, Sheriff of Bloomsburg,
our reporter (being something of a
phrenologist, in his mind) elicited the
frank confession from Mr. Hersko
vitch that it is difficult to know just
when to drop the pen when writing
under po itical excitement.
Francis P. Drinker, the President
of Town Council, very wisely again
admonishes our townsmen and women
to beware of small pox. We think
the efficacy of vaccination is sufficient
ly demonstiated to make it a safe
guard, and that the sore arm result
ing from vaccination is as nothing
compared with small pox, when a
thousand little vaccinations assail the
flesh at once.
DeWitt's Sarsaparilla is prepared
for cleansing the blood from impuri
ties and disease. It does this and
more. It builds up and strengthens
constitutions impaired by disease. It
recommends itself. W. S. Rishton,
Druggist. tf

Under the masterly slrokes of
Messrs. Thos. Gorry s carpenters, and
Wm. Bodine and others who painted
and papered, The Columbian print
ing office is now the neatest estab
lishment of the kind that this section
affords.
For the past week or more this office
has been in a state of confusion, owing
to the presence of carpenters, painters
and paper hangers, i he work is now
completed, and we are now in posses
sion ot as neat, commodious anu com
plete a printing office as there is in
this end of the state. The public is

With the small-pox prevalent- at
points not very far distant up and
down the river, and with numerous
cases of measles and several of scar

time for the Board of Health to get a
move on.
John S. Williams has gained a wide
reputation as an auctioneer. He has
been crying sales of horses recently at
Wuliamsport, Kingston and Berwick,
and will go to New Bloomfield, Perry
county, on the 30th inst. on similar
business. Good prices are always
realized at his sales.
As these are days of small margins
in every line of business, this office is
prepared to compete in prices, in all
lines ot printing, with any office in
this section. As a sample, we quote
envelopes with business card printed
on corner, at $i.oo a thousand; state
ments, at $1.25; bill heads, 1.75 to
4.50, according to size and quality;
Note heads, 2.00; and so on. These
goods are of good quality, and answer
every purpose. Of course, we hive
better stock at higher figures. Call
and see samples and get prices. 2t
Just as we had an idea that our
doctors were thickening, so to speak,
because of our numerous medical
students ; and just as we began to
anticipate reduced doctor bills in
consequence, word comes from Russia
that they have but one doctor to every

and demand holds good, and our su-

A Prevarication.
According to latest chronological
events, there is one editor in Heaven.
How he got there is not surely knowr.,
but it is conjectured that he passed
himself off for a minister and stepped
in unsuspected. When the dodge was
discovered, they searched the realms
of felicity in all their length and
breadth for a lawyer to draw up the
papers lor his ejectment, but they fail
ed to find one, and of course the
editor is still holding the fort.
hTpluoked THEM.
Mr. Thos. L. l'lucker, of Philadel
phia, as a committee of one represent
ing the Organized Charties of ihe city,
recently pioceeded to pluck the chari
tably disposed by passing himself off
as the nephew of the Mayor, and
taking whatever was given to relieve
the distressed. Considering himself
first in this category, he seems to have
husbanded all revenue thus collected
until he was finally pulled in for for
gery and obtaining money under false
pretenses. Not peing the Mayor's
nephew, in default of bail he went to
jail.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
In making up a newspaper it is
sometimes ncccssaiy to carry interest
ing correspondence, &c, over to next
issue. Time of its arrival, space re
quired, and the temporary or perma
nent application of the writing, neces
sarily enter into consideration. We
mention it because we deem it due
our worthy correspondents whose
writings we generally appreciate.

James II. Mercer, P. M.
The theme of Dr. Graydon in the
Y. M. C. A. hall, on last Monday
night, was "Nursing from a Physi
cian's Standpoint." While we could
not help thinking the doctor's minute
directions would be difficult to com
ply with in most cases, for want of
means, yet we believe his remarks
were all along the line of good advice,
and well received generally. We
think he, as a doctor, had the entire
sympathy of the audience when he ie
ferred to the carelessness of some
nurses in allowing a poultice to slide
from th; base of its proper location
and put in its fine work somewhere
else. The music furnished under di
rection of Mr. Elwell, organist of the
Episcopal church, was well rendered
and fully appreciated by the audience
who returned a vote of thanks.
