A fair sized audience greeted Wil fred Clarke and company last Satur day night at the Opera House. The play was fully up to the expectations of all present. Mr. Holmes ought to be supported in his efforts to give us first class entertainments.. The ice on the pavements about public buildings should not be allowed to freeze so hard that it can't be re moved till it thaws off. What's the matter with the contingent fund of Bloomsburg ? Contingent funds are generally elastic enough to cut ice and shovel snow. In the Lutheran church this has been denominated " a week ot prayer." The topics arranged by the Evangeli cal Alliance constituted the themes for dissertation by the pastor, Rev. Heilman, and others who participated every evening, and to spiritual ad vantage, no doubt. Hon. II. H. Gutter of Hughesville spent a few hours in town on Wed nesday. He joined Hon. A. L. Fritz here, and they went to Harrisburg on the four o'clock train. The legisla ture reconvened on Wednesday even ing. Hon. W. T. Creasy also went down the same day. On Friday evening E. W. Samuels, M. D., Grand Commander of the Knights of Malta, was royally enter tained by friends and members of the order of Bloomsburg. Mr. Samuels fully explained the worthy objects and principles of the order, in a well de livered and well received speech. En ' couraging responses were made by several members of the commandery before retiring to the banquet pre 0 pared for the occasion. Rev.'Pr. Coxe of Nanticoke preach ed two excellent sermons at St. Paul's church on Sunday. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, Jhe attendance was good. In the evening the choir sang an anthem that was prepared for Christmas. It will be repeated next Sundty. Rev. Mr. Ware of Ply mouth will officiate on Sunday morn ing and evening. The bells will not be rung. We have made arrangements by . which we can furnish this paper and the twice a week New Yoik World all for only $1.75 a year.

After the last fall of snow there were a good many sidewalks that were not cleaned off sufficiently to make walking either pleasant or safe. If accidents occur, some one may have a bill of damages to pay. The red-cheeked girls and boys who were taking delightful daily exercise at skating we regret to see are travel ing no more in that direction, because of the softening influence of the rain upon the snow and ice. The pavements of Bloomsburg are again about all clear of the snow and ice. When nature and art combines in an effort to reach terra firtna, its only a question of time during which the pavements are hidden from view. Trimmed hats, felt hats and fancy feathers reduced in price, at E. Bark ley's. Also an assortment of Ladies' and children's caps and yarns. Main below Market street. at.

It looks as though conflicting com mercial interests would occasion some diplomatic sparring for advantage between America and the Dutch over the tugar-beat and beet-sugar. Up to the present there is no doubt that the Dutch has the best of us on the sugar question. For it must be remembered that Mr. Havemeyer is a Dutchman. " The Tornado," Lincoln J. Carter's realistic play, which received its initial presentation at Havhn's about a fort night ago, will return to the same theatre for the coming' week. The realistic features of the piece as shown by its previous presentation proved to be the most elaborate of any of the attempts in that line that have been seen in Chicago. The tornado scene, in which buildings are swept away and whirling masses fly hither and thither on the stage, is a more ambitious effort along the line of realism than the storm scene in the Davenport production of Sardou's Cleopatra. The play which the author has fitted to his realistic effects contains human interests and natural results and com bines with the mechanical feature to make an interesting production. " The Tornado " is already booked in some of the large cities of England, although it has had less than a month of exist ence. The Tribune, Sunday, June 18. 1893. Opera House, January nth.

The Bloomsburg Candy Factory is located on Centre Street in the Opera House building. It is conducted by John Bush & Co., in an efhcie nt man ner. They manufacture and deal in all lines of candy, and they handle dry and fresh fruit, nuts, &c. They will sell at either wholesale or retail, and at com pit tive rates. it. Gidding & Co. are having busy times these days Last Saturday was the opening of their Red Letter Sale of suits and overcoats and they've been kept pretty busy since. Of course this is supposed to be a dull season (after the holidays) but Gidding & Co. believe in selling goods and' keep ing busy all the time. Even if not at a profit, it keeps their stock new and fresh. This is the chance of a season to cloth one self at a low figure, and no doubt our readers wili take advan tage of it. Mr. F. M. Everett has resigned his position as assistant cashier at the Bloomsburg Banking Co., to take effect on the 15th inst. He has ac cepted the position of cashier of the Ml. Carmcl Banking Co., and will move to that place. While Mr. Everett's departure from our town with his family is to be regretted, Mt. Carmel is fortunate in securing them as residents, and the new bank has made a wise selection. The vacancy at the Banking Co. has not yet been filled. Lincoln J. Carter, who has made a great deal of money out of the scenic melodrama, "The Fast Mail," has fairly outdone its mechanical wonders in a new piece bearing the suggestive title of "The Tornado," that was presented to a large and enthusiastic audience that tested the capacity of Havlin's at both Sunday performances. The play is plentifully spiced with sensational situations. Among the scenic features are a collision at sea, a sinking ship, a burning house, and finally a tornado that displays to thrill ing advantages the present possibilities of stage illusion. Mr. Carter was called before the curtain and made a brief speech of thanks to the audience for their appreciation of his handi work. Chicago Inter Ocean, Tues day, Jvjay 30, '93. Opera House, January nth. Died near Fowlersville, Col. Co., Dec. 36th, James Kocher.aged 76 yrs. 1 mo. and 10 days. Deceased was one of the old resi dents of his neighborhood, having been born on the tame farm where his death occured ; was highly respected by all who knew him for his sterling qualities of honesty, industry, and kindness to his two neighbors and family, no one ever calling upon father Kocher for a favor in vain. He was the father of 7 children, 4 sons and 3 daughters, all of whom survive him. In addition to the 7 children living there are 31 grand children and 1 great grandchild. His wife had preceded him to the spirit world 6 years. He was buried in the Baptist Cemetery near Fowlersville, Rev. J. R Shipe of the M. E. Church officiating. There's Musio in Selleck's Instruments. At the establishment of Mr. S. L. Selleck, on Main street, may be found musieal instruments that will not only "soothe the savage," but they may also be made to console the civilized and christianized, under proper mani pulation. While a great dea depends upon the manipulation and the mani pulator, quite as much depends upon the kind of instrument manipulated. Mr. Selleck rather makes a specialty of the Kingsbury piano (whose sales have reached 165,000 ) and the Chicago Cottace organ that defies competitors. But, not being pre judiced, he handles other makes, of course, just to suit customers. For written music and all manner of in struments to make it, see Selleck. it.

The old-time carrier's address on one sheet reduced to poetry and de livered on New Year's morning by the carrier-boy for any amount the recipient might give, having about grown obsolete because of the indol ence of the muses or something, the Wilhain)ort Sun this year issued instead a very pretty combination of calendar, carrier's address in high water mark poetry, business advertise ments, map of Lycoming county, a Sun Almanac, and a goodly amount of useful data, making 31 pages, 8 by 10 inches, in a neat cover, and all for iy cents.

Hood's Sarsapaiilla Calendar for 1895 is out and may be obtained at the drug stores. It is one of the most beautiful that the firm has ever issued and the edition was the largest ever printed by any one concern, being over ten millions of copies. There are two faces on the calendar, both of children, representing " Summer " and 41 Winter." The design was by one of the most gifted artists in the country, aad the coloring is most exquisite. Tne calendar is not only beautiful, but it is also useful, as it presents all the desired information concerning astronomical events dur ing the vear. If your druggist does not have Hood's Sarsaparilla calendar it may be obtained by sending six cents in stamps to C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. Snow Slide. From Renova, Pa., comes report of a snow slide from the Allegheny mountains on the Cth, inst., which completely engulfed a Philadelphia and Erie railroad train near Hyner, Pa. Several hundred men were put to work and after tunneling about 5 miles through snow they released the train. A New Meat Market. Louis Lyons now has a new, bright, and clean meat market in the Soleder building on Main Street, opposite the Episcopal parsonage. He carries everything in the butcher's line, makes his own p'm-hash, pudding, sausage, &c, and sells at reasonable rates. The establishment is favorably locat ed and it is neat and attractive, it.
