It Is Different Now.
No one is better able to note the
great difference in the change of cus
toms and practice than the country
editor, especially on the subject fol
lowing. Up until within a tew years
ago it was quite a popular custom on
the occasion ot weddings to remem
ber the editor and his retinue of as
sistants with reminders of the lunch
eon or feast. No matter how gay
and festive the occasion, or how hum
ble the contracting parties, the printer
was never overlooked or forgotten,
and in return he invariably threw at
the happy couple his richest blessings
and best wishes, often couched in the
choicest saxon. At that time a young
couple, about to embark on the mat
rimonial sea, would no more think of
overlooking the editor than the mm
ister. Often at holiday time, we can
remember, when presiding over a
rusty old type case, the printing office
would be swamped with fine culinary
souvenirs of the nuptial feast, and
would resemble more a bakery than a
place devoted exclusively to enhght
ening a small portion of tne world
But now the editor eats his cake at
holiday time, if his means will allow
him to eat cake at all, in the seclu
sion of his humble home, while the
merry wedding bells ring in his ear
something of a hollow mockery, too,
as he reverts to the past, reminding
him of days past, never to return,
when wedding bells had a more pro
phetic sound, and frosted cake was
served with lavish hand to all in the
office, even the " devil," from the bed
of the old Campbell press.
A Very Pleasant Gathering of friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Brobst of
Frostv Vallev near Danville gave an
evening party to a number of their
friends on the 23 inst. Those present
were Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Marr, Mr
and Mrs. John Johnson, Mr. and Mrs,

Mr. and Mrs. Art Pursel, Mr. and

Cluan Your Premises.
The time of the year is about here
when everyone should commence
cleaning their premises of the accumu
lation of the winter's ashes, rubbish,
etc., so as to give them a neat appear
ance and put them in a healthy con
dition. Lime should be freely used, so
as to make a thorough disinfection of
the entire premise?. The backyard
and lot should not only receive special
attention but. the street in front of
the dwelling should be given attention
If every housekeeper would keep the
street clean in front of their residence
our town would present a more tidy
appearance than it generally does. It
would require very little effort on the
part of each one to accomplish this
much desired result.
THil EAGLES-
They Entertained Their Friends on Monday
Night.

Golden Eagle, and
friends to the number
of about two hundred.
assembled at the Ea
gles' handsome quar
ters, in the Peacock building, corner
of Main and Market streets, Monday
night. It was probably the largest
attended event ot the kind that has
been given in our town for many
moons. This organization is made up
of a class of fellows who know how to
entertain their friends, and their ef
forts on Monday night will always find
a place in the memory of those who
participated. There was notlvng to
mar the evening's pleasure, no eccen
tric characters present, but real, gen-
uine, good fellows, were there, and
amusements of various kinds, princi
pally progressive euchre, were in
dulged in for several hours.
About eleven o clock elegant re
freshments were served with lavish
hands, and pai taken of with a relish
by all, after which carl playing
was again resumed. At the con
clusion it was found that
Joseph Townsend had won the most
games, and he was thereupon award
ed the prize, a handsome irt foun
tain pen. The "booby" which always
falls to him who displays the least skill
in manupulating the celluloides was
gathered in by William Coffman. The
cnarm of the event was the presence
of Messer3 Geisinger and DeFrane of
Espy, with their string instrumentsand
graphophone. They rendered some
very fine selections, and all present
were entertained in a way that de
lighted them beyond measure.
All in all, it proved to be a most
eniovable and pleasing event, and
Bloomsburg male social circles engag
ed in it with their customary grace
and tervor.
Ditto In Pennsylvania.
The following is from the St. Louis
Globe Democrat. It is the exact sit
uation here in our own state.
Missouri, once so rich in game and
fish, is losing ground steadily in these
important resources. This would not
happen if proper attention were given
to the subject. It is not the intelli
cent use ot the gifts of nature that
leads to their decay and extinction
Nothing but sheer waste and neglect
could ever deprive the people of their
bounty. Even quail and common
kinds of fish are becoming scarce in
manv sections of Missouri. The sub
ject is one demanding vigorous an
liberal legislation, fish and game
supervision ought to be looked after
immediately and allowed something
more than a . pittance to starve t
death upon. It is in truth a pitiful
sicht when a legislature devotes its
time to trivial politics ana does noth
ing to preserve natural blessings that
with suitable care can be made per
petual.
Death of John F. Brown.
John F. Brown died at his home i
Mifflinville last Saturday evening of
heart failure. He has been an m
valid for about two years. Mr. Brown
was born in Mifflin township m 1836
making him at the time of his de
6 vears of age. During his life he
was engaged at farming and milling.
In 1862 he entered the United States
army, was a sergeant in company
of the I7td regiment, and served for
ten months. After returning home he
rented the Brown mill, near his nome
and conducted the business for several
vears. Later he was engaged at
farming, following it until compell
to retire by reason of tailing health
Earlv in life he connected himself
with the Methodist faith and was
devout member of that church. The
deceased was a brother of James C.
and S. C. Brown, of this town.
No Traveling Spuak Easies
It has been generally understood
that it is illegal for a liquor dealer hav
ing a wholesale license to peddle or
deliver liquor to customers out side his
own county only by common carrier,
but there is no positive prohibition by
law. To overcome this defect a bill
has been introduced in the legislature,
as an amendment to the general liquor
law, by Assemblyman Thomas B.
Craig, of Carbon, and the same is like
ly to be adopted. Wholesale liquor
dealers who ship their goods by freight
for instance, are not to be interfered
with, but traveling grog shops are to
be abolished. 1
