his property on Wyoming avenue,

Indian moccasins, arrows, hatchets,
and other Indian equipments. Mr.
Smith prizes his find quite highly.
Although an edition of five thousand
catalogues for the Normal School was

pass any previous year in the history
of the institution.

W. S. RISHTON,
Opposite PostOffice- Druggist,
There will be a festival held at the
Heller Church, Madison Township,
on Saturday afternoon and evening,
August 17th. Supper from 5 to 9
o'clock. All the delicacies of the sea
son will be served. Everybody in
vited. We are clad to sav for the farmers
of this section that the crops are gen
erally good this season. In fact we
never saw their gardens looking more
piomising. fruit alone can be sud
to be below the ay-crane vield. But
this scarcity applies only to this sec-
lion, as an enormous yield of fruit is
reported in other sections. Surely
the hard toiling farmer may well take
time after gathering the bounties of
nature to openly express his thankful
ness for good crops, &c.
The following are among the im
provements that have been made at
the Normal during vacation :
Barn painted, grand stand painted,
athletic fence painted, new book room,
new Principal's private office, new
wa'k from E. Second street to office
entrance, cloth-covered swing doors
near elevator to cut off noise from the
Principal's private apartments, new
matting on entrance to corridor, new
dining room addition.
II. M. Hockman's fruit and candy
stand on Market Square has been
newly painted, new signs have been
put up, and the place has been gen
erally renovated and improved. He
keeps the largest and best stock of
any one who owned the stand, and
his stock includes a fine line of can
dies, all kinds of fruit and vegetables.
F ine bananas at 15 cents a dozen are
one of his leaders, also peanuts at 3
cents a quart.
Many improvements in finished
buildings, &o, ate noticeable in
Bloomsburg .to any one absenting
themselves even briefly. The finish
and general attractive appearance of
Bloomsburg homes makes the place
lemarkable to visitors, and this no
doubt has done much toward invitinn
capital, and making it active while
other less provident p'aces are dull.
The handsome finish of the Kleim
drug store and the Peacock and
Moyer buildings on Main street are
among the attractions referred to.
Last week, Tuesday, during the
thunder storm lightning struck a tree
about 150 jards from the house of P.
II. Freeze, tearing off a large limb,
and peeling the bark down one side.
A lot of rails were leaning against the
tree, and these were knocked down,
and one of them was torn to splint
ers. Miss Annie, Mr. Freeze's daugh
ter, was sitting on the porch at the
house and she was knocked off the
chair by the same tlash, but not in
jured. The Fresh Air and Cold Water
Club took their annual trip to Benton
on Sunday, in Gilniore's band wagon
drawn by Hartell's four white horses.

Ellenbogen, I). Edwards, W. Deit
terich, C. II. Reice, Chas. Stohner,
f. R- Fowler, L. Lowenberg, John
Cadman, W. A. Hartzell, J. B. Mo
Henry, Wm. Rhodamoyer, Frank
Deitrich. At Orangeville they were
joined by Lemuel Drake and Hiram
Shaffer. They dined at the McIIenry
House.
( Among the calamities that might
well befall us is the threat of individ
ual coal operators, in their utter de
moralization, to put one million tons
of their coa! on the market at $2 per
ton. The consumer could stand this
in a cold winter ; and so too no doubt
could the producers of coal. But
this we fear is after all only a game
of spasmodic bluff. The output will
be apt to be regulated by the com
bines as usual. The quarrel is only
between themselves, and their capac
ity for harmony where the profits are
at stake has never yet been fully
measured or understood by consumers
of coal.
Fresh roasted peanuts 3c. qt. at
Hockman's fruit and candy house.
Hockman's fruit and candy is al

A good quality of envelopes can be

J. L. Girton has leased Mrs. Phillips'
building for a term of ten years, and
will take possession next January. He
will apply for a license and open a
hotel.
The next Band Concert will be
given on the lawn of the Presbyterian
church, on this Thursday nicht. Ice
cream and cake will be sold by the
Christian Endeavor Society, on the
lawn. Everyone is invited.
When the heathens begin to kill
missionaries, as they are now doing,
it is a pretty sure sign that the miss
ionaries are trying to do something
toward their reclamation and chns
tianization. The present environment
of the heathen is no doubt very ex
asperating, he being to day more than
ever the subject ol rivalry and anxious
acquisition on the part of many and
various christian denominations. Feel
ing it to be their duty to capture him,
if they can, he strikes in his mad
frenzy for the personal liberty and
P'ivileee of bowing if he likes to a
multiplicity of Gods made of inani
mate but perceptible material. In
the present as in the past important
reformations are seldom effected
without some sacrifice. Before the
heathen is fully reclaimed many more
missionaries will be killed by them,
no doubt.

Among the recently captured
counterfeiters in Jersey City was one
by the adopted name of William
Brockway, who, being past his three
score and ten years, and boasting a
criminal record covering a peiiodof
forty years, was therefore honored
with the leadership of the notorious
gang. The lault of his being at large
to day rests upon those controlling
the executive clemency which is too
frequently shown expert and rich ras
cals. Twice before he was in the
hands of the law for expert counter
feiting. He began upon the first is
sue of government bonds, was arrest
ed, but escaped punishment.
In 1S80 he was sentenced for thirty
years for counterfeiting and forging
government bonds, but his sentence
was suspended on condition of his
surrendering his plates and giving the
government valuable information.
In 1883 lie was sent to Sing Sing
for five years for forging Morris and
Essex railroad bonds, and after serv
ing his short sentence he was dis
charged on Aug. 4, 18S7. Since then
he has been free.
A Dog 'With Blind Staggers.
Our reporter noticed and called at
tention to a clog having blind staggers,
on Main street, on Wednesday morn
ing. Upon inquiry he was told it was
the smaller one of the beautiful prize
dogs belonging to Dr. Purman. Even
temporary ailments of dogs, whether
prize or worthless curs, are suspicious
and dangerous when they are at large
in the summer time.

Wood's Colleges Set the Pace.
Wood's Colleges in Scranton, Wilk-es-Barre
and Carbondale, set the pace
for all the commercial schools in this
country. The combined Scholarship,
including thf Rncinocc QlinrtVinn.l anrl
Normal courses, at the price of one
scnoiarship, has touched the keynote
of success. It is a reciprocal plan
helpful to the institution and a great
bargain to the student. Prof. Wood
is deserving of the great success that
attends his efforts and is entitled to
the business in thi3 part of the State,
as hardly another teacher in the na
non would have risked a fortune in
in the equipment and organization of
these three schools.

'Defender"
is the name this fall's popular shaped
derby or stiff hat, and it certainly
does credit to the beautiful yacht
after which it is named. A more
artistic shape has not been introduced
in recent years. It comes in black
"maure," golden brown and Havana,
and will no doubt have a very large
Bale, which it merits. J. M. (lidding
