TOl'\u WELTS, who lately - escaped .
from our jail,
,says the Tunkhannock
Democrat, has been returned thither by
his guardian, who went search of him,
having been accused *(whether truly or,
falsely we do not know) of giving a help
ing hand in hik getting ,away. Judging
from the proclivity Of...the_young gentle
man for forgery, prison i§ the best place
for him. Disr r garding the lesson taught
here, we understand he again indulgedin
the free use of the Peniwiiile in WO:cou
sin. Probably the syrripaPiy of the Judge
and publid.will not noW be given to him
as lavishly a 5 before, and his chances of
remaining reduced to . a'certainty.
Tuts is from a wide-awake exchange::
Some business men never spend a cent
for advertising either in thenewspapei or
any other way. In the Mores of such
men are generaly seen old barrel heads,
on which are inscribed in chtilk or char
coal such devices as these : Flower,
Korn. heel, - Pertatoes, Pourk; CheFe,
Kalikcr, goods cheeP fur ',Kash, Tee, ,
ShuAr, etc. Such business Men are not
up to the timeS, they• read no papers and
know nothiiig of the markets, 'they do
not buy chOap and cannot sell cheap..
"Shun the store," where the proprietor
does his advertising in that way.

A' NATTER OF CORGRAFULLTION FOR
PRE NEW' YEAR.—Tite Churchoit the
,Missiah .(Universalist), has wrelreerful
.ipint, bright hopes at the entrance- of
1880. ;Ever since tbe; completion_of the
church, three years ajuce, there; has re
mained on it a' debt 414 about silty-five
hundreds of, dolbss. The. cause of con
kratulatkin is that 1870 among its other
burdens, will bear away this laid from
the church. Through, the earnest efforts
of pruttbr and people, and the generosity
of kind friends, the , whole of thO indebt
.edness has been lifted from the/ church,
and it enters 1880 free from all in
cumberancea to Work for the cause of
Christ and all His with greater freedom .
than ever before. During the fourteen
months of the charge of its pastor, Rev.
Dr. TATLOR, its membership has increas
ed twenty-Ave per cent. Its Sunday
School, under charge of Mr. L. F. GARD
NER, is flourishing, and -will soon invite .
our public to a Sunday School concert.
Taken altdgether_ the church has great
cause to say happy Now Year.

CHRISTMAS ATIMILAN.
Ay correspondent 'writing from Milan,
this 'county, to the Elmira Gazelle, has
this to say in regard to the doings at the
M. E. Church atG that ,pface, on Christmas
eve: •1
- - 1
"The tree was a grand success, and . the
committee of arrangements deserve great
credit for the taste and !skill displayed.
The church was beautifully trimmed with
festoon/0 of evergreens, which with the
trees, One on each side of the pulpit,,
_ . .
en with presents, the bright, sparkling
light and the beaming faces of the
ones, all helped to make up a bearitiful
picture, that will take many days to ef
face from the minds and hearts of those
present:, The exercises were well con
ducted vtheSinging by the intent class
seems worthyof special mention, as was
also the declamation, "The Night Before
Christmas," by Master Bruce Edminster,
a little lad o f years. S. N. Ha
vens, the su rintendent of the school;
received an e egant cake basket from the
school as a alight testimonial of their re
gard and appreciation of his services, al
ways so cheerfully rendered, and many
times at much inconvenience to himself.
The pastor,' Rev. E. D. Rawson, was very
pleasantly surprised with err Afghan,
from a Member of ids Church - at Milan,
'the work being contributed by the deft
fingensi of Miss Marian Doane, who, al
though not a member of his church, very
kindly offered her services, and forwhich
her friends are truly grateful. From the
-happy-face of the recipient both makers
and donors will long be remembered with
gratitude. The presents were elegant
and varied, being both useful and erne
:mental, many hearts wore made glad and
we hope that all may live to enjoy many
more such happy times."
THE JOHNSON BENEFIT
The entertainment given at Mercur
Hall on Friday 'evening last, by several
ladies and gentlemen of this place, for
the beirellt . of ono of our wort* colored
citizens,—Joe JOHNSON—was quite large
ly attended: ;The play presented is en
titled "Fashion," and was written as a
hit - at the Mra...Grundyisni of fashionable
society. The' caste of. characters was
most excellent,, and a better pleased
,audience never left !demur Hall at the .
conclusion of a Performance than on this
occasion. We 'doubt very much if a
company composed of the best profession
al talent could have rendered the piece in
any better : tyle, and certainly no More
pleasurably - to the audience. Without a
single exception thor o who tc ok part in the
drama acquitted themselves in a most
perfect manner, and any praise that is
merited by one character would be due
fittingly and justly to each. As fol
ios's was the caste of characters in the
drama :
Adam Trueman—a farmer from Catanaugus,
Mr. LataitAND linswnn.
