Mr. Dunlap and family, at the Parsonage, formerly known as the "Mcintosh House," on Second Street, in the after noon and evening (from 2 to 'J P.M.,) of Wednesday Dec. 19.

BURGLAR CAUGHT. —About 1 o'clock on Tuesday Morning, (says the Williamsport Bulletin,) Mrs. H. 1". Munday aroused Mr. M„ and called his attention to an unusual noise. He soon satisfied himself that some one was attempting to enter the dwelling (which is over Lowe & Munday's store,) and proceeding to the back window, which opens upon a porch, h found a man crawling head for musL through the window. Mr. Munday caught him by the should' rs and very kindly assisted bim into the room, but did not handle bim very deli cately. The noise brought Mr. Munday's lather to the scene, and the burglar was taken to another room and guarded by Mr. Munday, Sr., while H. F. Munday went out and procured a police officer, who came and took the fellow into custody. He was taken before the Mayor and committed for trial. The afternoon previous, Mr. M. had drawn sl.ouo from the Bank to take to the woods toe next morning. It is supposed that the burglar must have known t. s fact, and intended to possess himself of the funds. Mr. Mundv deserves a vote o! thanks for his prompt arrest of the scamp.

Security, then, is the first idea and most important point in lile insurance. Next to security comes the question of economy in its management. These two questions being settled, it is easy to decide what company to insure in. That the Connecticut Mutual, with its accumu lated fund amounting to nearly TEN MILLIONS, has abundant security, is beyond the cavil of man.— That its business has been economically managed, Las been definitely decided by its large dividends j to policy-holders, which has averaged fifty per ! annum for twenty years."— lnsurance Monitor, Xeir ! l urk.

FIVE YEARS AX VXREVEALED SECRET ' NERVE YOURSELF FOR THE SHOCK ! First proposition to be made public : FRIEND NELSON First, 1 would say, according to the best calculations, in the Borough ot Towauda, there is sold yearly one hundred thousand dollars worth ol Boots and Shoes,mostly slop work of the most inferior kind, and the people generally are sick of it. And now 1 =ay to your again, as I have before,enlarge your Store, make it neat and commodious, and keep a good stock o! Boots aud uhoes, and you shall be sustained. Most ot the people begin to fee! a little above buying their boots and shoes at Dry Goods Stores ; it looks verdant and outlandish. < edo not ask to make yur goods if it is not convenient. The facilities in some other localities, where a better ch -ice of sto ik and workmen can be had, may be still better And you have always been in the business, and better understand this ouepoint and irn p i taut branch of the Merchant's art, than those that d( al in Silks aud Muslins, and they, I believe, would be giad to let this business go where it belongs ; that they have done it heretofore to accomodate the people ; I do b >ve it you would open a firs-class Shoe Store the people would not go to Dry Goods Stores to bay Shoes , any more than they would to Drug Stores for Oats. Stop, stop! what are you talking about ? has not any one the right to sell what he pleases ? It may he, hut not in justice is it right in so large a place as this .where practical men are engaged wholly in this business. It has been given up in every other place, and according to custom it will be here. Two thousand live hundred propositions made I rom customers, is, to bring more of the same kind ol Boots and shoes you brought with you when you came in town seven years ago. i have never seen a good Shoe before nor since, is the language ol them all at the same time. Raise thy feet gently And think it so queer That the Boots I sold then Should wear them a year. ; now yield to the above propositions, and have promi sed to sell Twenty-five Thousand Dollars worth of his Boots and shoes it he would make them as good as those 1 brought here seven years ago. aud the answer is 1 will! 1 will! Well friends, your proposition made And I've consented to the trade, So 1 will sell yon Shoes both strong and neat, To please the taste and suit the feet. 1 have Ladies," Misses', Boys' and Mens', From fancy down to coarse brogaus, Come one and all, do as you agree, And buy your Boots and Shoes of me, Come !
