Three thousand catalomirs for tht
Normal School were printed last Sum
mer, Dut the demand was so great for
them that the supply was exhausted
early in the fall. Another edition of
twelve hundred has just been com-
pieteu at tms ottice.
We notice that there is quite a little
port among foot ball nlavers since
the row and the ruction " among
ine more pacific lase-bailers began.
And it is already remarked that the
Normal team of Bloomsburg is very
apt to nold its own in the general
scramble of this now popular game.
C. B. Chrisman is doing business at

Because of scarcity of fuel, and
trouble with the steam power the B.
& S. train leaving here at 6:40 P. M.
on Saturday reached Jamison City
just in time to avoid bending the Sab

intent and purpose of the B. & S. is
all right.
We thought somebody would im
mortalize himself in our day, and,
sure enough, W. M. Demott, of Brook-
ville, is the artist. He has just invent

a monument reaching so high that he
can easily step from its pinnacle into
heaven.
Editors, as a rule, are kind-hearted
and liberal. An exchange tells of a
subscriber who died and left fourteen
years' subscription unpaid. The edi
tor of the paper appeared just as the
undertaker was screwing down the
coffin lid and put in a linen duster, a
thermometer, a palm leaf fan, and a
recipe for making ice.
A new Evangelical (Dubsite)
church, costing $5,000, is now under
course of construction at Bethlehem,
Pa. The cornerstone was laid by
Bishop Haman on Sunday, the 25th
inst. Thus it will be seen that this
wing of that church are not yet
bankrupt, nor entirely disheartened
by their recent disposession of all
their church ptoperty.
A deer that was no doubt driven
from the mountain by dogs was shot
in the village of Register last week.
In Vermont where the game protect

reported as entirely too numerous to

grain.

which occurred November i, 1804.
were adopted by the Sunday School of

Home, Father Unangst, of whom

A PBOPOSITIM.
To the County Commissioner and to the
Public Generally.
"The Road Question" has agitated
the public mind for some time, and
many extreme views have been pub
lished iii reference thereto. But the
question of good roads is not of local
significance alone. It is applicable
to the universal, or general benefit.
But there is a question of more im
mediate importance than the road
question, and that is the question of
bridges, the material of which our
bridges have formerly been built has
disappeared and the old wooden
structures are rotten and ready to
crumble, and many not safe for public
use ; the question arises, how shall we
replace them ? Since the second
growth of timber is both expensfve,
undesirable, and unendurable, only
temporary bridges can be constructed
from it at enormous expense. Stone
arch bridges are permanent bridges,
but they cost a good deal of money.
Benton township has built several
within the past few years, but to re
place all the old bridges with stone
arches in rapid succession is beyond
our financial ability. Hence the
proposition here offered, is, that the
county appropriate annually not less
than three hundred ($300) dollars to
each township in the county for the
construction of permanent bridges
with the proviso that the townships
furnish an equal amount for the same
purpose, viz : the construction of per
manent bridges, until the whole coun
ty is safely and permanently bridged.
And those townships first accomplish
ing the object in view, and all others
succeeding, to use the annual county
appropriation with a like township
fund, over and above the necessary
road repair taxes, to be used for the
permanent improvement of public
roads.
All persons interested in the above
questions, whether in harmony or in
opposition to the views herein given,
will confer a public favor by express
ing them in the columns of the Col
umbia county newspapers. Let the
Bridge and Road Questions be Agita

Kentuck is a first class legitimate
play well worthy to form an evening's
entertainment at any theatre in the
country. It will certainly rank with
the best of American plays in plot
and action, in language, situations,
picturesqueness and individuality of
characterization. The play is from
the pen of J. J. McCloskey, and was
suggested by facts presented to him
by a well known society iaay 01 jlouis
ville. The principal scenes are laid,
in Fayette county and the drama is
founded on a rivalry between two Ken
tucky aristocratic families. At the
Opera House, Friday, Nov. 30th.
