" The Bright Side of Life In llbby Prison."
This is the subject of Chaplain McCabe's great lecture to be delivered in
the Opera House Bloomsburg next Thursday evening Dec. 19th. You will
want to bear it. Indeed you can not afford to miss it. It is without doubt
one of the most interesting and enjoyable lectures to which the American
people ever listened. Bishop H. W. Warren says of it : " It is one of the
most graphic and interesting lectures I have ever heard. A stronger patriot
ism and a more vivid Christianity must result from its delivery."
The Duluth Eominn Herald savs: "Chaplain McCabs is a man of
commanding presence and evinces great personal magnetism, both on and off
the platform. His story of prison life is not the usual tale of history, but
gives the listener an accurate insight nsto the many sunny hours of the
Southern prison of which the only bright side has been popularly consider d
the outside."
Dr. Eucklev. Editor of the N. Y. Clarist iari Adnnciita savs ; " Would
that every boy in the land could hear it J As for the bright side of Life in
Libby Prison, we had always thoueht the title a misnomer, a nnetieal
hyperbole, fancying that there could be nothing bright there but the starlight
and sunlight and moonlight that came through the windows. But Chaplain
McCabe proved that he and many others were worthy successors of Paul and
Silas."
Dr. A B Leonard, Missionary Secretary, savs : " It is the most thrilling
lecture i ever heard."'
The old solditrs listen to him with delight and often G. A. R. Posts turn
out in a body to hear him. We guarantee that all who spend an evening
with Chaplain McCabe will be interested, instructed and delighted.
Reserved seats. 50 cts. General admission 35 cts. Gallery 25 cts. There
will doubtless be a great audience, so you had better go to W. H, Slate's
BookStore, Monday A. M. Dec. 16. at 0:00 o'clock and reserve vnur seat.
Special Rail Road arrangements . have been made for persons desiring to
hear the lecture, who live in Benton, Orangeville, Light Street, Berwick, Espy.

There was a dull choir in attendance
at St. Paul's Church last Sunday, both
enorning and evening, and the music
was excellent. The choir consists of
twenty-four members, and when they
all attend the rehearsals, they can do
good work.

uicuin, or nigminare, wnicii anybody is
liable to experience as tlie result of over
eating or an attack of biliousness or In
digestion. To avoid such disagreeable
experiences one or two of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pelleta ohould be taken after a
too hearty mal and the action of the
stomach will thereby be ruickeued and
the meal promptly digested.
Then too if Nature be assisted a little
now and then In removing offending
matter from the stomach and bowels you
will thereby avoid a multitude of dis
tressing derangements and diseuses, and
will have less frequent need for your
doctors' services.
Of all known agents for this purpose,
Dr. Tierce's 1'leusant Pellets are the best.
Their secondary effect is to keep the
bowels open and regular, not to further
constipate, as is the case with other pills.
Hence, their great popularity with suf
ferers from habitual constipation, piles
and their attendant discomfort and man

Now it is 'Squire Bodine. T. D.
Bodine has been appointed Tustice of
the Peace fcr the Borough of Cata
wissa to fill the vacancy caused by
the death 0 Clinton Ellis. Mr. Bodine
is well fitted for the office, having
served in a similar capacity in Main
township. An election will be held
next February and undoubtedly the
voters of that borough will ratify the
action of the Governor.
The superiority of the carpet man

Mr. Jared Heid of Fishingcreek
Township, 'was on the traverse jury
this week. He is one of the most
reliable citizens of that section, and
is extensively engaged in farming and
the lumber business. His mill is lo
cated at Forks, where all kind of bill
timber is turned out. During his stay
in town he visited this office and was
surprised to find how much machinery
is required to run a printing office.
Charles Lee, an old and respected
citizen of Light Street, was peculiarly
afflicted last Saturday. He was seized
with a sleepy feeling, and fell into
what was apparently a sound sleep,
from which he never awakened. He
died Wednesday morning at 2 o'clock,
aged about seventy nine years. He
leaves to survive him, a wife and
twelve children. The funeral was
held this Friday afternoon.
' Creasy and Wells, the enterprising
lumber dealers have just closed a deal

to lumber as rapidly as possible. They
are now shipping 180,000 feet of cawed
lumber daily over the, B. & S. Rail
