Tim TIIDDEN lionsE.:---On Saturday

some shopping. When he returtied his
horse was missing.. Some one had tied
him in P. C. MOORE'S blacksmith shop
near by. AYERS made diligent search
through the borougii, , without success, and
was compelled to return home pedestrian
style. Sunday nighto GEORGE W. BAI
LEY and JAMES BEwitAm heard the horse
whiuner, and on going to the shop found
him as above stated. The animal was
released, the bridle reins - tied about his
neck, and he made for home. Thus the
horse was compelled to go without eating
for a whole day, through the meanness of
some person. r -Leßaysviite Advertiser, sth.
WE clip the following items from the
Litchfield correspondence in the Athens
Gq:cttp of December 4th :,
" There have been three claimants
under the recent sheep-dog law for dam
ages to sheep-by dogs—A. D. Munn, who
was awarded $23.00 by the appraisers; J.
B. Wheaton, who was aWarded $3.00;
Rowon Muun, who was awarded about
$37.00—50 one of our justices tells me.
Much has been said against the law, some'
claiming it to be complicated and imprac
ticable, without Ithsl. aid of a lawyer. A
practical test of its provisions demon
strates its practi4bility and usefulnes.
Some people wOtild grumble if they
struck a bonanza:"

LORY, ' Esq.,
,of this place, sold his
horse "Mallory," on Wednesday of last
week, to A. S. ODELL, of New York, for
ton thousand and fire hundred dollars.
"Mallory" is as yet but a novice on the
turf, but that he is a very promising
horse, is evident by the fact that so expe
rienced a
, dealer in horses as Mr. Onsm.,
was willing to pay the above large sum
for him. " Mallory " was entered in
races for the g i ist time during the season
just past, andiron first Money in, several
of the contests. He closed the season
with a record of 2:30, although in. private
trials be has trotted a toile in several sec
onds less time than his record giVes him.
He is without doubt one
. of the finest and
" speediest " younglorges in the country,
and we shall be disappointed if at the
close of next season he has not) reduced
his record to the neighborhood of 2:20.
NAIAD RECEPTION.
' The Naiad reception at .

promises to be one of the very best ever
given by this Company. The committee
who have the direction of the affair, are
busily engaged in perfecting all the ar
rangenumtatei ensure an evening of en
loyment to all who choose to attend. Prof.
Smuts's orchestra will ifarnieh the

first-class. We shall be 'disappointed if
the boys do not have a larger number of

any previous one. ' -

wise been treated to a new "dress," and

Taz editor of the Leßaysville Adver
tiser attended Church on Thanksgiving
Day. Judging from the following which
we clip from his paper of last week, we
do not believe the sermon exactly suited
his "taste :"
"Services were' held in the M. E.
Church at 14 A. M. ' Rev% James Rich
mond preached the sermon and held his
audience one hour and thirty-one minutes
in his descriptive tour over the continent.
The attendance was not large, but all
listened faithfully to the speaker, as he
proceeded to show the wonderful mercies
of God toward his creatures,• and the
ample provisions made and provided for
all. While we were bound to hear the
entire discourse, and if possible, take in
all that was said, we found ourselves just
thirty minutes late to enjoy a warm
chicken dinner. However, we shall bring
no charges against the clergyman, as such
occasions and sermons only occur once a
year."

L COTEMPORARY gives the following
good advice : "In order to sell goods the
people must first be informed where the
goods are to be had'; and such inforr6a
tion can best 'be conveyed through, the
columns of a live and readable local news
paper. The novelty of a small handbill
may attract the attention of the strolling
pedestrian, but the favorite newspaper is
welcomed into thousands of family circles
and read by tens Of thousands at every
borne." This matter of advertising judi
cially and profitably is but little under
stood, even by those in business. The
true secret of such advertising is to attract
the attention of the greatest number, of
buyers. An adyertisement'in an ephem
eral or occasional publication, has not the
same value as when it appears , in an old
and established family paper. For in
stance, the REPORTER goes into families
where it has been a welcoine visitor for
years. It is read by all tin; household, and
its contents carefully noted. An adver
tisement in its cokurins not 3nly comes to
the notice tof several persons each week,_
but: it is noticed iu such a manner as to
have ten times the effect and value of an
anneuneement given in a transitory and
unusual manner. The family newspaper
is the best medium of reaching the refill-,
ble part - or the community, and that paper
should be selected which enjoys in the
greatest degree the respect and confidence
of the public.
THE BEAN BAKE

of them accompanied by their wives),
were present from Hurst, Jackson, Ste

kins Posts, besides quite a large number
:of ladies and gentleman from this imme
diate vicinity, as invited guests. Several
well arranged tableaux, representing
scenes in the camp life of tho sol
dier, were given by members of the Post,
and elicited hearty applause from the
large audience that filled the armory.
Comrades Knauss and Hum, favored the
audience with two songs, entitled "We
have diunk from the same Canteen," and
"Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,"
which they rendered splendidly. •
The bill of fare was " army regulation,"
rations of, beans, hard-tack, and coffee,
and was served in camp style.
Several' toasts were offered c and respond
