Pursuant to adjournment the Town Council met last Thurstlay night, all the members present. The subject of the indebtedness of the town and how to meet it, was dis cussed. The bonded debt is now $3794o.oo. The assessed valuation is $a,20o,ooo, 2 per cent, of which is $44,000, the limit to which bonds can be issued except by a vote of the people. It is proposed to submit the question to a vote, for permission to increase the bonds to $79,000.00. This is the only feasible plan, as the tax rate would otherwise have to be very high and burdensome in order to produce enough money to meet the debts that must be paid. W. S.

On Thursday of last week a strange c'og appeared in Oranceville, and went down the Main street, bitinz every dog it met. Ti e Oranceville AN OLD OFFENDER. S. E. Snively, a Harrisbure livery man passed through here Wednesday night with a bay mare he secured Tuesday at Fortyfort, which had been nogs must have been out on a parade, stolen from him on April 12. The ' nm 1 . . i e . 1 . . I . . . . -. ui luimecn 01 mem w;re met by the horse and buggy was hired to a man stranger and each one was bitten. A little daughter of Douglas Megargell narrowly escaped the teeth of the vicious animal. At the lower end of own the dog was shot by Jesse Freas. a general slaughter of the dogs that were bitten took place on Saturday. Among the lot were some valuable animals belonging to II. B. Low, M. A. Williams, Postmaster John Knorr, and others. The dog was no doubt mad, and came down the W. & W. railroad track, from the direction of Rohrsburg. If somebody would turn such a doe as that loose on the streets of Blooms burg about once a day, which would bite fourteen dogs every day, for a few weeks, thus requiring them to be slaughtered by the owners, it would result in reducing the number of wo-thless curs that are nuisances to the community, and would be a pub lie blessing, though it would not be safe to try to exterminate them in that wav. who gave his name as John Kline. He came to Shickshinny on April 16 and registered as J. K. Alspack and sold the horse to C. R. Stauffer stating that he had driven the horse from Baltimore. G. A. Benscoter bought the buggy and harness. Mr. Stauifur traded the horse to Ed. Phillips at Hardpan and he traded it for another horse to S. A. Sloan at Fortyfort. After Alspack disposed of the horse and buggy he went to Bloomsburg and hired a horse and buggy from Wenner iv Derr, liverymen, and sold that also. He was arrested at Selinscrove and placed in the Columbia County jail.

To the Patriotic) Orders and People of Bloomsburg. American Union Couneil No 537 Jr. O. U. A. M., ot Woomsburg, is desirous of showing to the people of this city one of the old time demon strations, on the one hundred and nineteenth anniversary of our nation's birth, and as the above Council is in the infancy we would suggest to the business men of town that it would be to their interest as well as ours to be liberal in their contributions when our collector calls with a subscription paper to help defray expenses. The above have never asked the help of the public on any other occasion and would be loathe to do so now only that it is their belief that the people of this town should spend their money in their own town at least once in awhile and induce strangers from other towns to pay us a visit and give the town of Bloomsburg, a good boom for the increasing good times in the near future. Hoping to have the co-operation of all business men and citizens of Bloom, Those wishing to take part will please report to com mittee of ainngements. Yours respectfully, D. W. Carter ChaAnan, N. M.

The C. E. Societies of Bloomsburg, in preparation lor the hrst lecture in their course, held a union prayer-meet inn in the Presbyterian Church last Sunday evening. Dr. Graydon led in the singing and Miss Mary Lowe conducted the prayer-meeting. On account of the severe storm the attend ance was not so large as had been expected, but there was a very fair representation from the different societies, and the reports they gave of the foreign missionary work that their respective Church Boards are doing were interesting and encouraging. The Christian Endeavor societies of Bloomsburg have been so fortunate as to secure for the first speaker in their course of lectures Rev. Dr. Thomas Marshall of Chicago, who will lecture in the Lutheran Church next Friday evening. The services will begin at fifteen minutes before eight o'clock. Special arrangements have been made tor music ana a meeting of rare interest and profit is promised, to which all are cordially invited. Dr. Marshall is highly rec ommended as an eloquent and able speaker. During the past two years. by arrangement of the C. E. Local Unions, he has addressed mass meet ings in many ot the most prominent cities between Chicago and New York City. Only by a very favorable combina tion of circumstances was the Local Union of Bloomsburg enabled to se cure him. and we bespeak for him a crowded house. for she our the Whereas, So many persons kindly assisted W.

She started from here to visit friends at Shenandoah, but owing to a landslide that caused a delay in the train, she decided to go to Pottsville where she also had friends. It was just at the time of the recent sudden change in the weathei, and when she left home it was quite warm, and she was dress ed throughout fcr summer weather. When she reached Pottsville it was midnight, it was raining, and it was cold, and she had neither water proof, umbrella nor over shoes. A nearby barber shop was open, and here she applied for an umbrella, but failed to get it. lhe proprietor however, kindly offered to loan her his overcoat, and as this was the only thing in reach, she accepted it. From there she started for her brother-in law's, and on reaching their place she rang the bell for some time, but got no response. Then she went to a neighbot's, and succeeded in getting a response, but as they did not know her they refused to admit a strange woman, with no hat on, wearing a man's overcoat, after midnight, and then she sat down on the porch and wondered if she would have to freeze to death. Subsequently she succeeded in enlisting the interest of some passing men, who went with her to her brother in-law's, and suc ceeded in arousing them, and sne gained admittance. After this, she proposes to let them know when she is coming, and she will endeavor to arrive in the day time. ST. PiTJL'S PARISH NOTES.

A recent number of the Harrisburg Telegraph says : There is living to day in an interior town of Pennsyl vania a gentleman whose Drother fought and was killed in the battle of Germantown, October 4, 1777 118 years ago. This gentleman was born in 1 81 2 and is therefore 83 years old. His birth occurred thirty five years after the battle, and the brother who lost his life, aged 18, was the oldest son of his father, who had twenty-lour children, and the gentleman referred to was the youngest. We are safe in affirming that there is not a similar case in Pennsylvania or anywhere else. The gentleman referred to in the fore going is Moses Chamberlain, Esq., of Milton, Pa. 5: A.

From now throughout all the warmer months one eats more sour vegetables and more fruit. As these are bad for the teeth, while generally excellent for the stomach, extra care should be taken in much brushing and care that the lime ot the teeth is not eaten into by the acid. After every meal is not too often to brush the teeth, and it should be conscientiously done while this sort of food is on the table.
