COUET HOUSE JACK DEAD. Every one who for the past five years has Transacted business at the Court House, has noticed a large dog whom every one called "Jack" roam ing, apparently aimlessly around the corridors and rooms. His history is known to nearly every one. When the iddition was built to the Court House, the contract was awarded to Mathias Shaffer, who resided a short distance from this place, and as the work progressed, "Jack," who was owned by Mr. Shaffer, accompanied him to and from his work. During the progress of the work, Mr. Shaffer died, but Jack still continued making his trips, and would go from office to office seeking his master. As years went by, he became too old to make the daily journey, and adopted D. R. Coffman, the janitor, as his master, who has been caring for his wants ever since. He had not however giv en up his search for Mr. Shaffer, but kept it ur until last Mondav. when he died. His body was carefully buried Dy Mr. cottman, who had become ereatlv attached to the dotr. as had indeed every one who knew his faith- miness to his former master. John Miller, of Venango county, is 71 years of age. He had a young wife. She wanted a vouncer man. and Captain John Lyter, a G. A. R. man, made love to her and negotiated with the old man for her nurcha.se. says the Punxsutawney Spirit.

SUITS j FROM S18.00.I THANKSGIVING. Bloomsburg, November 26, 1895. Another year has fled, and we are on the verge of another cold winter; and as the ladies of the Union Benev olent Society find themselves entirely without funds with which to meet the demands that will without a doubt be made upon them in the near future, and as the society has for the last fif teen years depended almost entirely upon the Thanksgiving offering of the good people of Bloomsburg for funds to meet these demands, we, the offi cers of this society, request that a collection be taken up on Thanks giving day for that purpose. We believe it is understood that this contribution is not for the relief of the poor in general, or for all and any who may consider themselves in n eed of help, but for the relief of cas es of actual suffering, to provide deli cacies and nourishing food, and nec essary medicine, and a change of bed or body linen for the sick who have not the means to procure such com forts for themselves. It may rot be generally known, but the ladies of this society very well know that every winter (and often in summer) they are called upon to pro vide for just such cases. Let us mention one case which will serve to show you what the money is used for. This case was reported to the presi dent of the society by a kind-hearted physician of town. A woman was found in bed in the month of February, with an infant, three days old. The only nurse anu housekeeper was a little girl eleven years of age. Three other half-clad children were crying on the floor. The only under-clothing the woman owned she had on. The only sheet (one) in the house was on. the bed. Very worn and thin it was. The only food to be found was buckwheat cakes and molasses and a few pota toes not a very tempting bill of fare for a sick woman. The husband and father had injured his hand and was unable to work; and as he depended upon his daily toil to support his fam ily, when his work stopped there was no income. He was out gathering coal along the railroad with his well left hand, to keep the one fire going. We could give you many more, but this will suffice. . It is for such and kindred cases that the money given us on Thanksgiving day is to be used. For the last twelve years this offering has averaged just ($36.69) twenty-six dollars sixty-nine cents. May we not hope for at least as much this year? Let every one who attends service on that day go prepared to give as boun tifully as he has received from the Giver of all good. While we do not at this writing know of any such ne cessitous cases, yet if we do not have them before the holidays are over, it will be the first time since the society was organized, and we wish to be ready. Our fund was exhausted last year before the first of April. Mrs. M. C. Walker, Mrs. Mary L. Neal, , Managing Committee Ladies' Union Benevolent Society. ' Trinity Eeformed Ohurch Notes. Durinc the month of December the pastor, Rev. C. H. Brandt, will preach illustrated sermons everv Sundav ev ening, on the following subjects in the order indicated: Dec. 1st, The Young Ruler. 8th, The Nobleman's Son. 15th, The Good Samaritan. a ad, The Advent of Christ. Illustrated sermons are Knmpthincr entirely new for Bloomsburg, and ev erybody should endeavor to hear these. They have been used with great success in our large cities, and there is no reason why they should not do much good in Bloomsburg. Each division of the sermon will be represented by a large painting, so that you may both see and hear the truths of the gospel. 1 he C. E. Society has put book racks into the church and a h vmn book into each seat; and now all who attend this church can engage in ev ery part of the service. You are cor dially invited, and a warm welcome will be given you at all times. ,The Borough of Benton Is agitating the question of better fire protection. The only way to get it, Bro. Smith, is to keep on agitating. Brother Rand all of the Catawissa News Item can give you a few pointers on agitation.

Good merchandising says it i sn't wise seen Ions aco. to hold goods over; rather sell now than the money. Where do we come out ? for ourselves. COATS AND CAPES. Our business has never been better in this department than this year. Why? Because our stock was never larger or better assorted, and the prices lowest. You may have seen others advertise immense reductions in coats. We have not a3 yet, but come and see how interesting we can make it for you. Come before our sizes are all broken and we will show you quality and prices that you can , not help but see the bargains. JILACK DRESS GOODS are apparently the same everywhere. They are not. Ten cents a yawl dif ference in price may cover a multitude of sins, of which you are only made aware when the cheap black dress turns rusty and its quality is no more. We have studied the black dress goods questions, and experience tells us that seeking for quality will pay for it. We have BLACK. GOODS of quality and you are not asked to pay a single pen ny more than is right. STOXGE CREPON. What is it ? The best interlining that is on the market anywhere.

The National Reform Association, with headquarters in Philadelphia, has brought to the notice of our commun ity in ti e meetings held in the last few days in the different churches in town some amazing facts. We give a few of them. Dr. Stevenson in his address at the Lutheran church last evening said that the different states of our Union had 25. different causes for divorce and, as a result, in the 30 years from 1867 to 1886 there were granted in this country alone 338,716 divorces. 60 times as many as in Great Bnttain for the same time. The divorce laws vary in degree from South Carolina, which goes even be yond the Word of God, and grants no divorce for any cause, to the Dakotas which grants devorce for almost any cause after a residence of three months. But there are hopeful signs of im provement. 27 of the states have ap pointed commissioners who met to gether in Detroit last Summer to draft a National divorce law and by agita tation we may hope for better things bye and bye. This has has been ao complished by the National Reform Association under whose lnnutnces the meetings have been held here this week. The last of the series was held in the Presbvterian and Reformed churches Wednesday evening. Dr. Stevenson speaking in the former on "Our Educational System Imperiled," and Prof. Dill in the latter on "The Saloon a Nuisance." BUPTURE CUBED. Quickly, Safely, Permanently.
