hours after the occurrence.
We have received less money for the last six

have a lare amount on our books due us, and
have sent repeated duns w ithout effect to a large

Mas Shut. Some excitement was created at
Tharptown, Mondjy flight, from a man being
shot while in bed. As near as we can learn it
happened iu this wise : Oa Monday evening
Mrs. Hoover loaded the gun with a heavy charge
of shot while the men were away from the

In the conversion of the potatoes to their own
use are now ou a tramp for other fields of de

their attacks on celery nd other vegetation.
Certain it is that they are on a tramp, and that
their progress is eastward. The pavements and
the streets are iu some places covered with these
travellers in their peregriuations for some prom
ised land in the east.
'1 nr. Gates in ttie Pake. We understand
that some movement is to be made in hanging
the gates in the park on the old posts. We
trurt that such an absurdity will not be repeated.
Nothing but square stoue or cast iron columns

Rf-SOixiiqns of thank by a large number of
Representatives to the Grand Lodge Ji. of P.,
guests at the Central Ilotel iu this place, were
passed to the proprietor of the house.
The Police. We notice the volunteer police
from the lire department are active. On
Wednesday three arrests were made for drunk-'
euness, one a big fat woman who stated she had
"but three beers," and said she wanted to go to
Harrisburg. She was allowed to go to that
place. We hope that the persons appointed as
policemen will conlinne their vigilance and allow
110 more disorderly conduct on our streets, and
thy will receive the thanks of every good citl--n.
The Jersey Shore Band, on Friday last, after
the parade had proved a failure, serenaded a
number of our prominent citizens at their resi
dences. ' They played well, and their music was
highly appreciated by our citizens generally.
Maktlaxh Gbovsd Hogs. We are informed
that a highly eteenied conductor on the North
ern Central Railway, of this plare, now run
ning ou the lower eud of the road, a few days
ago went out from Baltimore to make war on
ground hogs iu that vicluity ;ettingon a farm
of a Mr. Matthews, a large grey Tom cut be
longing to the farmer being out on a foraging
tour over tlis farm, the conductor espied him,
and supposing him to lie a ground hog, blazed
away at him. The grimalkiu not being ued to
such treatment started on a rnn. the conductor
watching him with open mouth and swejiring
"it was thed dest ground hog he ever saw."
Tom has not been beard of since, and Mr. Mat
thews now claims $23 damages if reparation Is !
not made and threatens to prosecute. I
Absent. Hon. Win. L. Ik-wart has been ab
seut from home during the past week attending
the Democratic State Convention at Pittsburg.
The Major being a candidate fur Lieutenant Go
vernor, the editor of the Drmocrat, and Mr. I).
. IMssinger, wbo Is a df!gate, followed; the
former who w ill do the pulling of the w ires, and
the latter will do the voting. The last that was
heard of them was through the Harrisburg Pa
triot, of Wednesday morning, which announced
that they had passed through thai city.
Some lawyers take two fues, one from their
clients and another from t'other side at least
its so reported. Daily.
It is also reported that some lawyers, as soou
as judgment Is obtained before a Justice of the
Peace, take a transcript and enter it np in the
Protnonotary's office, and issue on it so they can
charge another fee in addition to the above. One
case, we are Informed, the indebtedness was S3
50, and the costs amounted to about seventeen
dollars. This is not very creditable to the pro
fession, and looks as though some lawyers were
pretty bard np, 01 very dishonorable. It is sim
ply distressing to poor laboringman by robbing
him of bis bard eamincs.
The representatives and officers of the Grand
Ixdge of Knights of Pythias In attendance at
their meeting In this place last week, gained the
confidence and praise of the entire community
for their gentlemanly conduct dnring their so
journ here. They have established an enviable
reputation as gentleman and members of their
Order whose object is moral and intellectual ele
vation. There was no drunkenness nor rowdy
ism which so often prevails when such largs bo
dies assemble. Nothing occurred during the en
tire week that was of an unusual character, and
quiet reigned both day oud night. This speaks
well for the lodges throughont the State. We
congratulate tle Order throughout the State for
Us exemplary character, and ability within its
lodge room. Should this Grand body ever re
visit our place, they will revive a hearty wel
come from our cii'znn.
Tiih Fair. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and FriJay, September 29tb, 80tli and October
1st aud 2d, has been tixed as the time for hold
ing the Fair ol the Union Park aud Agricul
tural Association ut this place. The fair last
year was a decided success. It is the determin
ation of the executive committee to excel any
fair of former years. Those w ho intend to ex
hibit articles of any kind elioiild now prepare
for it. It is hoped that the public generally will
take an active part iu the exhibition, and ly
their presence nnd interest in the d)ing9 of tie
Association, assist in making the display tic
most creditable of any ever held in this county.
Northumberland comty's products cannot te
excelled, and nil that is wanted is to bring then
forward, and let the public see that, the farmer,
the mechanic and artists of this county aic
equal to any in the State. These ajp ietiltun.l
gatherings are very beneficial, pleasant and use
ful. 'They bring together people fiom all parts
of the country. New ac'inaintanees are mad;
nnd a general interchange of opinions can b
had regarding the raising of stock and agricul
tural products. A more extended intercourse ii
had among the people, and sentiments of goo1'
will are cultivated. Besides this the products of
the farm and the garden, the household and the
mechanics shop, arc all brought together anc
displayed. New ideas ure formed and new
methods adopted in the cultivation of the soil.
In fact these exhibitions are schools of instruc
tion and deserve the encouragement of the peo
ple in general.
Tue Pakake or mi K. or P. The parade an
nounced last week, w hich was to take place ou
Friday, did not come off on accotiut of a misun
derstanding in regard to wearing the proper rc
talla. The arrangements had all been made
without consulting the Craud Officsrs, and when
... , . , ,. ,.
to parade iu regalia it was declined for the rea
son that the rules of the Order do uot permit it.
Of this fact the majority of the members were
iguorant, ad by this decision It is made a law
that no lodge is permitted to parade iu regalia,
only iu the uniform of the Order. It is much to
be regretted that the parade did not take place
as ihcre was a large number of the Order from
Lodges iu this vicinity here accompanied by
bauds of music, to participate, and a large num
ber of persons from the surrounding country to
witness it. The Grand officers seeing this, uo
doubt felt disposed to shut their eyes and let the
parade go ou, but a few members of the Order
iu the Grand Lodge who are always desirous of
being conspicuous, forced a decision from the
Supreme Chancellor which led to a disappoint
ment to those anxious to see that Order make a
haudsome display. While we would have been
glad to see u large parade of the Grand Lodge
members, and the large brotherhood, we must
congratulate them upou their abiding by the
rules and laws of the Order, and the establish
ment thereby of a thorough system and disci
pline for the future welfare of its subordinate
Lodges and brotherhood. Had those few offi
cious individuals not interfered had they had
enough sense to let the Grand officers aloue after
beiug advised to do so, there is no doubt that
there, would have been oncof tbchnndsoinest pa
rades ever witnessed in this place. Gen. J. K.
Clenieit, who was designated as the oiator for
the occasion, delivered an address from the
stnnd in the squar which was very appropriate
to the occasion.
On many occasions of public receptions, the
committee appointed to receive our visiting
guests, prove entirely deileieiit. Never was there
an instance in which to great a lack of efficiency
was displayed ns ou the late occasion of the
ne.-ting iu our town cf the Knights of Pythias.
As many complaint, in regard to this, c; uie di
rect to us, and as we had previously pointed out
some of the duties which the committee owed the
visitors and the town, we cannot refrain from
censuring those to whom a great neglect cf duty
as a committee of reception belongs. Wearc re
liably informed that the committee paid scarcely
uny attention to their guests after their arrivul.
There were a number w ho called upon U9 before
their departure, and expressed their regret that
no one volunteered among the brotherhood to
conduct them to such places of interest as they
had learned during their sojouru here, existed iu
the vicinity of our place. Iu our issue previous
to the meeting we pointed out a number of places
which would have been highly interesting to the
more intellectual portion of the brotherhood wbo
expressed their regret and surpilse, and stated
that had there been more attention given them
there would have been much more money left in
the place. Those attending this grand body
came from all parts of the Slate, and our scene
ry aud places of historic interest would
made an Impression which would have been re-
fleeted in every part of the old Commonwealth, i
We hope that in future should occasion occur,
societies will take the precaution to appoint
members on committees who will better under
stand their duty. Although we are happy to :
learn that the representatives were generally
well pleased with the receptiou on the part of
our citizens, more attention 011 the part of the
resident brothers added to that of our people,
would have left au impression that would have
reudered the name of Sunbury a thing of pleas
ing remembrance.
The Union Park and Agrlcultuial Association
of sunbury, promises to be of more than ordina
ry interest this fall. The officers, we believe,are
using every effort to make it a success, aud sat
isfactory to all parties. We do not projose to
obtrude our advice, but we would respectfully
suggest that names of competent persous be sent
immediately to the officers from different dis
tricts to act as judges. To place a man as chair
man of a committee on ruachiuery, who don't
know the difference between a cider mill and a
threshing machine, or who can't distinguish
sweetened blackberry juice from grape vine, is a
burlesque and a wrong to exhibitors. We know
there is some difficulty in making proper selec
tions, and mistakes cannot always be avoided.

It is now snpjiosed to be a sure pop that the
Philadelphia nnd Reading Railroad Company
will soon rebuild the bridge at Herndon. I have
uo doubt that they heard of the immense travel
Irom the other side of the river that will take
place during camp meeting which commences
here on the 27tli inst., and continues for a week.
The supposition is that eight or ten thousand
persons will attend. Special trains will be run
on the Philadelphia and Reading road at excur
sion rates. This is not vain glory but a true va
lidity of the uprising of the people. May their
religious labors rescue many sinners and teach
them the way to a true living God, and cause
ihc profane swearer to think of the immorality
he is teaching the rising generation of our
