He had been plying his vocation on the Fair ground and must have been quite good at the business. W. C. Dougherty, of Wilkes-Barre, who was the former manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company, in Bloomsburg, called on his many old friends in town last week. This was his first visit here since he left, about eleven years ago. The sky in the direction of Berwick was illuminated at an early hour Saturday morning, caused by the burning of a large barn owned by James Wright of that place.

A famous lecturer says : One cannot help but wonder why it is that "Uncle Tom's Cabin" always proves a drawing card, yet there is nothing very wonderful about it when once the plot and presentation of this realistic drama is taken into consider ation. We have read "Uncle 10ms Cabin" as many as tventy times, and always with absorbing interest, and so, too, we have seen it presented on the stage forty times, and it seems as if we enjoy the last better than any previous rendit on.
