We have been calling for a meet ing to take some action In this matter for some time, and the soldiers at their last Decoration, spoke pretty plainly In their resolutions as to what they tttire. The reason the President omits to call such a meeting can only be ac counted for by us, on the ground, that the few soldiers who there met, and the editor of the DEMMIIAT, are the only ones who desire such action. Now to put him outside the pale of any farther excuse, let every subscriber who is op posed to such a meeting forward us his name, and we will pnblish all such, if it require the whole of our paper to contain them. should the resuslt be, as we think it will, that there is not a member, except it bet the officers them selves, who is not anxious for such action, Is there not a way for the subscribers to bring it about?

The Manner of their retteption, the kind and generous hospitalities they received,and the re markahly orderly, and pleasant manner in which the day was celebrated is a theme of universal comment. The Montrose Cornet Band was one of the attractions of the day, as was also the Towanda, Tunkhannock, and Hyde Park Bands, all of which bore well their part. It can be considered a proud day tot Tunk• hannock. "The day we celebrate" in Montrose, was a pleasant one to us notwithstanding prior obligations barred out the pleasures and hospi tilities tendered us by our Tunkhannock friends As the little feet of those whose guest we were pattered upon our front step in high glee at the taunt' of tutpedo and tire-crackers, and as the sparkling eye, flushed countenance and gleeful tones gave evidence of childish joy, we felt that in fact, under the blessing of a kind Prov idence, we were doing our measure of duty to fill the places ol the men of" '7O " and we hope, by those, who, in coining time will do and dare for the right.

Strawberry Shortcake As strawberries are now in season, a recipe to make a palatable dish, known as sunwhtrry shortcake will not come amiss. .Itub a piece of butter about the size of an egg into a little flour pour in two cups of sour cream, one teaspoon full of soda and a little salt. Mix into dough and roll into cakes about one-half inch thick and ton in diameter. Prick with a lurk and halm in a quick oven. When doue split them open with a knife and spread with nice butter, lay the bottom piece on n plate and cover It with strawberries nearly an Inch deep. It is better to have the strawberries sprinkled with sugar a few hours before they are put into the cake. Put this over the top of the cake, with the crust down, and a layer of strawberries again ; over this lay the bottom piece of snottier cake and more berries, and put on the top piece right side up. Serve with cream.

There are tyw prettier household pets than gold (kb, and perhaps none are so constantly lost throegh the want of knowledge bow to care for them. Seth Green, the great propaga• for of fish, gives the following directions for the care of gold fish : Use any well, creek, or mineral water that is not impregnated with mineral. Change the water when the fish come to the top and stay there and breathe part water and part air. Take out nearly all the water, leaving enough for the fish to swim in and till the vessel with fresh water. Never take the fish In your hand. If the aquarium needs cleaning make a net of mosquito netting and take the fish out in it. There are many gold fish killed by handling. Reel. your aqua rium clean so that the water looks as clear as crystal, Watch the fish a little and you will find out when they are all right, Feed them all they Will eat and anything they will cat t meat worms, fish water or fish spawn. Take great care that you take all out of the aquarium that they do not eat. Any decayed m e at or vegeta ble In Water has t.te same smell to fish as it has to you in the air. If your gold dab die it is at tributable, as a rule, to one of three causes— handling, starvation or bad water. Obituary—Han.Calvt.h Lest.

This me tliod,lwhTtluseglects to lake advan tage of one of tie most bcneffcent provisions for man's use, comfort, and well-being, Is detri mental not only to enjoyment but to perma nent health. The term "anti-scorbutic" expres ses the value of fruits as food, and the estima tion In which they are held by those who un derstand their relation to human want. When fruit,. does harm, it is becauie it is eat en at improper times In improper quantities, or before it Is ripened and fit for the human stom ach. Fruit ought not to be eaten between mesdi any more than any other food. It may be tak en as a lunch, however, with very great benefit or as a preparation fur a meal, that is, before breakfast or dinner. Perhaps the very best time for eating fruit is before or with the break fast. A distinguished physician has said that if his patients would make a practice of eating a couple of Messina oranges before breakfast, fl-om February till June, his practice would be gone. From June, which brings us the ever welcome strawberries, untif November, there is a constant succession of fresh fruits which are a pleasure to the eye and a delight to the mind, The proof of their healthfulness lies in the fact that the more people Make It a part of their dai ly food, taking the place in part of meat and wholly of pastries during the summer months, the better and finer, more cheerful and more uniformly well they are,the less fever and thirst do they experience, the less Ice-water and other violently reactionary fluids are they oblidged to drink, the less are they subject to changes and fluctuations of the system and temperature. The principal difficulty with us is that we do not oat enpugh of fruit ; that we klll 14 finer qualities with sugar; that we drawl, them in cream. ti e need the medicinal action of the pure fruit acids in our systems. We need the cooling, corrective influence, and should accept ,it as one of the best gift s of Providence. The waste of fruit is a crime, hardly to be:• pardoned when so many need it—are dying for want of IL A fruit mission would be of Infin itely greater vale° MAC the flower mission, be neficent as that Lq, for ft - nit is life giving, and supplements the beautiful and thought Inspir ing. Give fruit, and it will make of life perpet ual summer. Business Locals. BLANK School Ordera for sale at ttits office newly printed. NICHOLSON FAIR.
