On Saturday morning last Dr. J.
T. Brown of Bloomsburg, assisted
by Drs. S. Y. Thompson and Cam
eron Shultz, removed a cataract from
the left eye of Mr. H. A. Kneibler.
The result of the operation will be 1
awaited with some interest, as the
same e5'e was operated upon on May
last by Drs. Brown and Thompson
for glaucoma. This dread disease,
which last year entirely destroyed
the sight of Mr. Kneibler's right
eye and seriously impaired the sight
of the left one, was apparently check
ed by that operation. Danville

George Jacobv, a well and favor
ably known resident of Lightstreet,
died at his home in ' that place on
Monday evening from a complica
tion of ailments, chief among which
was probably old age. His jour
ney through life had extended seven
vears over the allotted three score
and ten, aud his death was not un
expected. Besides a wife, who is
also pretty well advanced in age,
he is survived by the following chil
dren : Mrs. Isaiah Musselman, who
lives a short distance above this
town. Mrs. Melinda Thomas, of
Hemlock township, Mrs. Catharine
Bellis, living at home, Abraham, of
Missouri, and William, of Scran-

The entertainment given in the
Normal Auditorium on Monday
night before the Teachers' Institute
by the International Operatic Com-
pany was attended by a large and
refined audience. The performance
was of a character but seldom seen
outside of the cities, and was en
joyed by many who had never seen
an opera, because ot its novelty.
As to the singers they had highly
cultivated voices aud lmmeuse lung
power. They are accustomed to
sing in large theaters, and they
made 110 allowance for the size of
the auditorium. A few numbers in
English in the concert part would
have been much more highly appre
ciated by a large majority of the
audieuce. One member of the
company informed us that this was
the first time that they have sung
at an Institute, most of their en
gagements being in the cities, and
this fact accounts for the selections
on the program. It was a very
pleasant entertainment and Supt.
Miller made no mistake in engaging
this company.
