From Chcrch to Opera Hovsr. The con
verting of churches into Opera Houses is becom
ing somewhat fashiouable, not only In large
towns, but also in country villiages. The la&t of !
these is the Trinty Reformed church, of Turbut"
ville. It strikes 11s that the sacred documents
contained by the corner stones of churches so
changed In character, should first be removed.

The Lickssh Question. The license question
at our Court last week, caused considerable com
motion among the liquor sellers, aud the strong
advocates of temperance. Remonstrances from
Milton, Sunbury and SUamokin, were presented
to the Court agaiust the granting of licenses. In
several iustances some of the best houses iu the
county were remonstrated against on gcuerul
principles. The lawyers did not seize the tempe
rance side with eagerness, and but one iu the
whole batch, A. N. Brice, Esq., of this place,
tendered his services in opposing the license of
there hotels. Hon. F. Bound, of Milton, made a
masterly speech in favor or well kept lioUls,and
the necessity of Iteir having license as long as
liquors are allowed to be sold. To do away with
the liquor trafhV, the evil must be struck at the
root its manufacture must be stopped, and
then it is a question whether a substitute would
not be supplied, probably of a more injurious
character. It is generally conceded that if our
laws were more 6trict!y enforced, there would be
no necessity for remonstrance. Let the friend
of temperance take action, and cause the laws
now in existence to be enforced, and many of the
evils arising from badly kept houses will soon be
remedied. If other guards are necessary, let the
Legislature enact such laws as may be necessary
for the purpose. Perhaps one of the most prac
tical and effective remedies to prevent tho evils
complained of, would be some law that would
pievent that great curse 'treating,' which has
doiie more to promote the evil of intemperance,
and the ruin of men, thau any thing else con
nected with intemperance. A law making it an
offence or misdemeanor, to invite or nrge others
to the bar to drink, would uot be impracticable,
or interfere with the individual rights of any one.
and would work a great change by restraining
promiscuous aud intemperate driuking.
The follow ing licenses were refused last week
by the Court. Several are held over for advise

We learn by the Shamokin papers that our es
teemed friend J. L. Hammer, Esq., has tendered
his resignation as Cashier of the Mlueral Rail
road and Miuing Company at that place, and
intcuds entering into business at Reynoldsville,
Jefferson county, Pa. By his absence Shamokin
will lose one or its most energetic business men,
and his numerous friend throughout the county
will regret his absence. We cau fully corobo-
rate the following from the Shamokin lhratd or
last week :
Clerical Cijasgb. Mr. John L. Hammer,
Esq.. who has held the positiou ot miei ucrK
and Cashier of the Mineral Railroad and Mining
Company ever since the commencement of its
operations in this region on the 1st of June,
1871, has resigned his place to tke effect the lrt
of February next, in order that he may assume
tbe general management ol the business of
Douty Hammer 1 Kntzner, miners and shippers
or the celebrated Reynoldsville gas-coal and
coke. In the resignation or Mr. Hammer the
company have lost an efficient officer aud one
who carefully looked after its interests. On
taking charge of the business of the new coal
firm above referred to, Mr. II. will necessarily
be absent from borne much of the time as bis
office will be located at Reynoldsville, Jcffersou
county, and he dots not -intend to take bis fami
ly ith bira for the present, as has been rumored,
which fact will be bailed with delight by their
numerous friends in this community, who would
be sorry indeed to have them remove after so
long a residence ia Shamokin. We most hearti
ly wish the Interests with which he is now identi
fied may prove successful in the highest degree.
To take Mr. Hammers place the compauy
promoted his assistant, Mr. W. A. Richardson,
in which capacity be was faithfully served the
company forovi r three years and who must now
feel highly gratified by this manifest acknowl
edgment of his pan services. Although the po
sition is one of much responsibility we feel sure
the company will have nothing to regret in the
choice it has made. Mr. R. has for many years
been more or less intimately associated with the
coal interests of this region, is widely known for
bis genial social qualities, and his business abili
ty and Integrity is unquestioned. We congratu
late him on his promotion and the company on
securing one who will so well fill the place
vacated by Mr. Hammer. Mr. Richardson will
be assisted by Messrs. John L. Evert and Charles
C Lombaert, two more agreeable and compan
ionable young gentlemen than whom do not
handle the pen.
We confess that our town presented rathef a
quiet and dull appearance during tbe past week.
There was no street broils, dog fights, or any
amusements to drive away the general monoto
ny. Storekeepers complained of a dull week,
and landlords napped it iu their chairs behind
the bar with nothing to disturb their slumbers
Even the hotel "De Hoey" did not have its ave
rage amount of custom. All this mono'.ony has
been attributed to the fact that nearly all the
lawyers in the place were abseut at the Supreme
Court, In session in Philadelphia, but we cau't
persuade ourselves to the beiief that that is tbe
cause. It can t be.

Avten of the Watsnntown Record, was in
Sunbnry on Saturday, feeling Lis way for the
projected establishment or a new Democratic pa
per. John is a shrewd chap ; be came in the
disguise or an agent in the sale or "Almanax,"
and exhibited a specimen or two ot a rare cha
racter to several or our citizens. As we did not
see them wc cannot say whether they were De
mocratic or medical but we think they wcr po
litical and or the Democratic persuasion.
OCR thanks arc due to that public spirited
newspaper publisher, G. W. Childs, E:!q., pro
prietor of the Philadelphia Ilger, for a copy of
the Public Ledger Almanac for 1875. It is
tastefully got tip and contains an immense
amount of useful information that cannot be
found elsewhere. It is the fust i!t edged al
manac that we have seen. Arcompauyiug it is
a minature photograph copy of the first and
fourth pages of the ledger, well executed, but
difficult to read on account of the diminutnre
letters.
TnE last Grand Jury were very particular in
referring to old relics fpnd in the Court House.
One was a table used in the county offices in
1773, and an old goose quill pen and inkstand
from the same date. They recommeud these
articles to be kept as they are in good condition
As the county jail was built about the same time
it may also be considered an old relic, and should
have received at least a slight recognition besides
white washing it. We would recommend that a
suggestive poem be authorized to be written
something on the style of,
Oh, tax-payers, spare that Jail,
Touch not a single stone, Ac.
Removal or Railroad Siiors. The Directors
or the N. C. R. W. Company, on Saturday last,
determined to remove their car shops at York,
Ta.. to Mt. Vernon, Baltimore. The removal or
these shops will cost about 110,000. The change
is made Tor the purpose of economizing. Geo.
W. Wilkins, the general superintendent of the
N. C. & B. & P. roads, is entrusted with the
task of re-organization, and has appointed John
W. Kapp, of this place, train master, and II. B
Linthecum road forcmau of engines. Godfrey
Rhodes was appointed superintendent of motive
power.
Tue Masquerade. Thetasquerade Ball, gi
ven in Moore & Dissingcr's Hall, on Friday even
ing last, was attended aud participated in by the
elite of this and neighboring towns. Everything
passed off harmoniously nud pleasantly, and all
who witnessed it, represent it as a grand affair.
A correspondent of the Daily of Monday, gives
the following description of it :
"Tbe Committee on Invitations consisting of
Messrs. W. C. Packer, E. M. Bucher and P. P.
Smith, arc deserving of great praise for the man
ner in which they made their selections as to who
should attend, and the happy and jovial races ot
all present was an evidence that their work was
satisfactorily done, as harmony and a congenial
flow or kindness was pictured on the faces of all
iu atteudance.
The selection of John M. Cadwallader as Mas
ter of Cereiuouics, was a well merited one, as
tho manner in which h conducted things proved
him au adept In the management of affairs of
this kind.
The Floor Managers, Messrs. W. C. Kapp and
8. E. SlaymaUer. carefully looked to the wants
of desiring oues, and made it an especial object
that ail should enjoy themselves.
The Committee of arrangements, consisting of
Messrs. M. J. TuRs, W. P. Smith, X. A. Butler,
J. B. Irvin, James Hamilton and J. L. Andrews,
also deserve credit, having all such arrange
ments made that comfort was not wanting along
with the pleasure ol tho evening. The specta
tors who graced the ball by their appearance,
leut additional charm to the brilliancy of the oc
casion, were many.
Iu the grand march, which Our Fat Boy bad
the delight of leading, some sixty couple parti
cipated, and all were so well masked and dis
guised that recognition by their most intimate
friends was an impossibility. The music for the
occasion, consisting of five pieces, was furnished
by Mr. Stopper, or Williamsport, and the sweet
straius arising from the different instiuuients,
was sufficient to make those dance who never
danced before, and those who danced desired to
some more.
The refreshments furnished by mine host Clark,
of the Si. Charles Hotel, Is another evidence that
he, as a caterer of good things, i6 not to bo excell
ed, as all that the inner man could desire in the
way of substantial was provided by bim.
The characters assumed by those present were
iu themselves sufficient to amuse as well as please
all who are lovers of gayety while some were
laughable and of a ludicrous nature, others
counterbalanced tbem by the high-toned appea
rance they presented.
W. C. Packer, as the Fat Boy, created conside
rable mirth as he so majestically swayed to and
fro, his huge dimensions being in everybody's
wav.
W. M. Beardsley and M. J.' Tufts, hs tbe
school boys, did grat credit not only to them
selves, but to the characters they assumed, as
by their actions they proved that they had been
there before.
J. M. Cadwallader, a Captalu Jack, the Mo
doc brave, was excel leut and quietly assumed.
The Sunbnry Steam Fire Co., No. 1, was cha"
racterized by Wm. Bucher.
Jesse Andrews and N. A. Butler, the twin
Irishmen, did great credit to the nution thi-y so
well impersonated.
The Johuuy Bull l:i which James Hamilton so
much delighted, was natural.
II. E. Davis, of Hall Bros. & Co., assumed the
character or tbe Uuknown. which did him proud,
as his manly bearing and congenial countenance
warded off all suspicion, and justly made him
the Unknown or the evening.
P. P. Smith, the American clown, was adapted
to his clowr.Uh costume both in style and man
ner. Tbe Muliigan Guards, or which E. B. West
fall was the only member, did much in adding
mirth to the occasion.
Wm. Foster, the nobis Count, with his elegant
costnme and remarkably flue figure, was au ex
cellent type of true nobility aud loveliness.
John Toungraan made a very pleasant looking
Monk of the St. Order.
George R. Hoffman as a Clown acquitted hlm
seiradmirably. Among those whose costumes were grand were
W. C. Kapp, of Northumberland, as Charles II.;
F. M. Clarke, of Northumberland, as Don Juan;
S. E. Slajmaker, as Red Kuigbt; E. C. Perchard,
agent M. R. R. & M. Co., of Shamokiu, as Fauto

as Lord of Misrule; J. E. Colt, of Northumber
land, as Robert le Diable; Wm. Smith as Prince;
E. M. Bucher s Pnrplo Knight; C. II. Hallo
well as Earl of Rochester; Charles H. Pcterman
as Priuce; J. it. Swenk, J. A Cake and John
Weaver at Dominoes.
J. L. Panl and Geo. U. Renu played tbe
Monks.
Edw. Israel personated a Horse-jockey iu fine
style.
The military was ably represented by G. B.
Cadwallader, Wm. Faust and A. E. Kapp, Jr.,
of Northumberland.
Gilbert Israel, of Herndon, made a good, lively
sailor boy.
A. F. Clapp, D. M. Giiger and Chas. M. Cle
meut did honor to the Scotish Llghlanders.
C. G. Hawthorne made a pleasing Indian
brave.
The sleepy Rip Van Winkle was in every re
spest a 'Trump.
'Grandma's Pet' was so well sustained through
out by J. P. Haas, that all united in praising him
Tor his forethought iu the selection or liix cha
racter. But to the ladles is due the praise, as it was
owiug to their smiling races and g'aceful man
ner that success crowned the happy event.
Rachael Packer, tbe Beautiful Sea Nymph, and
Sue Kueass, of Northumberland, the queenly
Woodnymph, were charming.
Bessin Wool ford, of Annapolis, Md., as the
Baltimore .Vn, like the paper with which she
was adorned, threw a brilliunoy of .Sun-light
wherever she cast her cheerful look, and htr
Sim ny smiles lit up all tbofcc who cume, within
her rays.
Emma L. McCullough of Shlppeusburg, Pu.,
and Jennie Weiser acquitted themselves finely as
Tambourine Girls.
Our frieud Toungman, of the Gazettt, was not
forgotten, ns Maggie Kapp, of Northumberland,
took upou herself the role of the Sunbury Gazette.
The Ghost by Mrs. Austin Clapp, did not have
much effect in disturbing the dancing, as none
appeared to dread her spirit-like appearauce.
Mrs. John Toungman in Martha Washington
costume was one of tbe most commanding fig
ures ou tbe floor.
Rachael Strinc, or Miltou, as Squaw; Mrs. J-
L. Paul as Ludy from Constantinople ; Jo Laza
rus as Winter; Ella Bright as Morning ; Beckie
Hoffman as Gypsey Countess ; Eva Davis, of Se

Girl; Jennie Rcun 11s Winter; Emily Engle as
Gypsey ; Kate Young as School Girl ; Lizziu
Masscr as Peasant Girl; Ida Bright as School
Days; Miss Jones aud Miss A. C. Clark as Spa
nish Ladies, all looked perfect and carried to the j
point their various assumed characters.
Mary Smith as Drummer Boy In Highland
costume, presented a very Handsome appear
ance. Mrs. Emma J. Butler bid her face uud r the
garb of an Old Woman.
Mrs. Jesse Andrews as 'Topsy' could not be
itnpioved. She was good.
Helen Kapp as Little Bo-Peep conld uot have
been better, as her attractive manners and win
ning ways should always assist her in gathering
together her lambs.
Mrs. G. A. Cobb, of Herndon, was Morning to
perfection.
There were many others whose characters we
did not get, and no slight is intended for nny
omissions. We did the best we could.
When all were drawn in line p.nd the order to
uumask was giveu, much merriment was cnused
as the various faces were scanned. The dauciug
was continued till the 'wee smu' hours,' when all
hied homeward, expressing the wish that it may
uot be loug until a similar opportunity will
again present itself for a night's enjoyment.

A ei.Eioniso party, composed or young men
and women from Dauvillc, stopped at the City

with tho entertainment given them by mine host
nnd bot's Mr. and Mrs. Drumhcller.
Interesting Extracts from a Letter from
J. K. Davis, Esq. The many friends of J. K.
Davis, Esq., who recently left this place for As
pinwall. Central America, will be glad to hear of
his safe arrival at that port. We have been
gianted the privilege of extracting the following
from a ltter written to his father, dated Janua
ry 14, 1S75. After describing a pleasant voyage,
the usual sea-sickuees excepted, Mr. Davis gives
the following :
"On arriving here, I went to the U. S. Consu
late, and learned from Mr. Thoi.gton, the Con
sul, that neither Capt. Bennett nor the Canan
daigua were here, but that he expected them ev
ery hour. I then inquired for u hotel, and he
told me there was no such place, that I would
have to find a cafe, obtain a room and meals
there. T am in an establishment that the devil
himself could uot name if he were here, for be
tween the heat, and color, and appeaiauce of the
natives, compared to civilized persons, this place
has the nearest approach to hell than any other
I have ever heard or dreamed of. My Idea of
ofAspinwall was that it was a large city, or ut
least a large commercial port ; but no man was
ever more deluded. It is not even a town ; it is
simply a spot on which in area of jerbaps one
mile, are located between four aud five thousand
Jamaica niggers. I cannot attempt to give you
a description or these heathens. Their appen
rancesnd filthy condition is so repulsive that it is
simply awful to look at them. They live entirciy
from the labor on the docks of the Pacific Mail
Company, bring and transport tbe freight from
the vessels to the cars on the Panama railroad.
Tbe houses arc huts built of boards, brick and
stone. Some were built by the company for te
nant bouses for these workmen. Imagine 0113 or
these brick buildings with from four to five hun
dred of these animals lu it. The woman and 1
children lie about in the sun under the cocoa
trees, almost naked, and the men wear nothing
but covering about the middle of the body.
The company have five large docks, and arc
constantly engaged in cither loading ordiscliarg
ing cargoes. I weut through the docks this af
ternoon, and looked at the men nt work, which
is a sight to sec. I went to the offices of the
company, and there I saw tho most beautiful
sight. The office is a frame building, elegantly
furnished and situated iu the midst of a garden
that would repay any one to come here and see
it. Large cocoa trees, full of fruit, afford shade,
being from 20 to 30, and some 40 and 60 Teet In
heights. The garden is laid out In plats, and in
it are the most elegant flowers and ferns. Such
flowers ns poets write about, anI that we read of,
but such as I never dreamed of seeing. They re
quire no care whatever, and are constantly in
bloom. They never fade, but each departing
leaf and bud is replaced by another as it disap
pears. This is the lowest point on the Isthmus. The
surface being nothing but coral, I am told that a
rain of six inches, all passes away iu an hour's
time. Tbo houses are only 18 inches above the
surface of the sea, there being no tide here. This
may seem strange, as over at Pauama, Just op
posite, on the Pacific, the tide is from IS to 20
feet.
The greatest change that I experience in all this
voyage, Is that or passing from a cold climate
into one in which the heal is so great that to a
person not acclimated It is simply awful. I
grew warmer nnd hotter as the t-hip came
down, and not having nnythiug but my winter
clothing, I almost perished."

Nail Factort. We are glad to learn that
another nail ractory Is about to be put in opera
tion soon in Northumberland. Our neighbors
across the river are getting into good earnest,
and snbstantial improvements loom up one after
another. The town is beautifully located for
manufacturing purposes, and we arc rejoiced to
see that capitalists of that place ar taking ad
vantage of it in erecting improvements that will
continue to improve the town. The nail factory
established in that place several years ago has
been iu suecessfnl ojeration ever since, and the
proprietors are overrun wi.h orders. The new
car shops lately erected wiil now be converted
into another nail ractory and operated by six
practical manufacturers, and will no doubt be a
success. These improvements give employment
to several hundred hands, and will be a vast
benefit, not only to Northumberland, bnt also to
tbe vicinity around.
The Soup norsn. Since the establishment of
a soup house in this place for th? accommoda.
tiou of tramps, the nnmber of stragglers bus con.
siderably abated. Pity that the ide did uot oc
cur to our borough fathers sooner, jib considera
ble money might have been saved. The soup
house is located on the coiner of Third and
Chestnut streets, in the old depot building, nnd
is named 'The Hotel de Hoey,' in honor of the
manager, Mr. Samuel Hoey. The run of ciuito
niers is some five to ten ier night, w hich is about
the average custom or other hotels in tllo pis.ee.
But as one or the Overseers remarked, a few
days ago, '"the hotel pays best whun it is not pa
tronized." This is difiereut with moil hotels.
There is no distinction made in the accommoda
tion of eartoracn. All are treated Bilk's, no mat
ter whether rich, poor, white or black all eat at
the same table. Guests are allowed to call for
any kind of fare that may thir.k will appease
their appetites, and soup in mlue host, Mr.
Hoey's best style, is readily furnished. This ho
tel differs, also, from others in mauy other res
pects. No money is required to secure lodging.
Ever traveler who is in need of food and rest is
cordially Invited to partake of Mr. n'a hospitali
tv. Thus far he has had the honor of accommo
dating customers hailing from every part of the
globe, except the Arab and heathen Cbince. No
'treating' is allowed in this instil ution. Nor do
fancy bottles, filled with 'bug juice,' greet the
evts of customers ou marble-top bar.
Important to Boroeoii anh Township Offi
cers. The attention of the borough aud
township officers in this county, is directed
to the following sections of an act passed
by the Legislature last winter :
Au Act to regulate the manner of increasing the
indebtedness of munieipalitii-s, to provide for
the redemption of the same, aud to linjioee pe
nalties for tbe illegal increase thereof.
Sec. 6. The corjiorate authorities of every such
municipality or district (county, city, borough,
township, school district or other municipality
or Incorporated district) shall annually, in the
mouth or January, prepare aud publish in at
least two newspaers of said municipality, or or
tbe county in which the same is situated, if so
many be published therein, a statement showing
in detail the actual indebtedness, the amount or
funded debt, the amount of floating debt thereof,
the valuation or taxable property therein, the
assets or tbe corporation, with the nature aud
character thereof, und tbe date of maturity of
the respective forms of funded debt thereof, and
a neclect or failure so to do shall be a misde- 1
meanor punishnble by tine not exeeedli.g one
thousand dollars.
Tbe following section of the same act explains
the meaning of the word "indebtedness :"
Sec:, ft. The word "indebtedness," used iu this
act, shall be deemed, held and taken to Include
all and all maimer of debt as well floating as
funded, or tbe said municipality ; aud the net
amount or such indebtedness shall be ascertained
' by deducting from the gros amount tbcreur the
j monevs in the treasnry, all outstanding solvent
uebts, and all reveuue applicable within one
year to the payment of the same.
The Northumberland Trei of last week thus
refers to one of ourbusiuess places :
A Busy Place. Few persons residing outside
of Sunbury ar aware that the largest and most
flourishing segar und tobacco works lu this part
or tho State are located at that place. F. S.
Kern is the proprietor, and some or the best to
bacco goods are manufactured at this establish
ment. We can recommend his cigars us being
of the best quality fine flavored and cheap.
The factory, which is located on Market street,
.1 few doors east or the City Hotel, is a busy
place. Most of the time twelve hands are em
ployed, and Mr Kern, who is au experienced
tobacconist is kept busy In snperinfeiiding the
establishment.
Tup. County Auditors, Messrs. F.iseJy, Mucncli
und Hotteiisuin, are now auditing tbo finances
of the county for 1371. WaUonlavm Record.
Brother Auten, wc ask your pardon, the latter
gentleman iu the board of Auditors has not as
sisted scarcely any. He has been playing 'mule'
ever since the board met.
John R. Badmax has drawn up stakes and
left. He moved to Sunbury, where he inteuds
starting iu the Machine and Foundry business.
John is a No. 1 mechanic. We wish him suc

Mr. Badinau is refitting the old Yonnguian
foundry ou Arch street, this place, preparatory
for the spring trade, and will no donbt make bu

A donation rrty came off at the residence of
Rev. H. H. Hewitt, rector of St. Matthew's
(Episcopal) church, nt tYis place, on Tuesday
evening. It was well attended on short notice,
and the entertainment proved pleasant and
agreable. The contributions, we understand,
amounted to teveral hundred dollars, of which
seveuty-ninc dollars and fifty cents were in
greenbacks. The members of Mr. Hewitt's con.
gregation evidently appreciate the services of
their rector, and this appreciation, we have
reason to thiuk, is reciprocal,

Largest Scale Contract ever Awarded.
The award of the contract for Post-office scales
to the Messrs. Fairbanks has given much satis
faction to tho trade und the public generally.
There were six competitors for the contract,
and all kinds or oblique influences were brought
to bear upon the Postmaster-General aud the
committee. The fact that scales for 3,000 to
4,000 post-offices had to be supplied by tbe first
week in January, and that tbe Messrs. Fairbanks,
at their several branches, from Vermont to Cali
fornia, carry large stocks, must have been a
consideration. But the fact that in every capital
or Europe, in the chit-r cities of India, in semi
baibaric China and Japan, on all the great
American railroads, iu the small pioneer stores
on the western frontier, iu the largo establish
ments or our merchant princes, and in the la
boratories or our men or science, the Fairbanks
Scale is the standard, must have Influenced the
decision iu favor of the champion scale-makers
of the world. This is the largest contract for
scales ever made in the world, and it is a matter
for congratulation that the Postmaster-General
acted impartially in the award. If the same
principle were adopted in all government con
tracts u beneficial impetus would be given to
American manufacturers in first-class goods.
The footing obtained by the Fairbanks Scales in
Great Britian is an honor to our country, and
that it has become the Government scale is bnt
due to its merits. X. T. Evening Eiprex.

lolNoned to Death.
A healthv liver secretes each day abont two
and a-lmlf pounds or bile, which eontaius a
great amount or waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con
gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to
poison the blood aud be conveyed to every part'
ot the system. What must be the condiiioii ot
the blood when it U receiving aud retaining each
day two and a halt pounds or poison? Nature
tries to work ofl'tu'19 poison through other chan
nels and organs the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. ;
but these organs become overtaxed in perform
ing this labor, in addition to their natural func
tions, and cannot long withstand the pressure,
but become variously diseased.
The brain, which Is the great electrical centre
or all vitality, is unduly stimulated by tbe un
healthy blood which passes to it from the heirt,
and it Tails to perform its office healthfully.
Hence the symptoms or bile poisoning, which are
dulluess, headache, incapacity to keep the mind
on any subject, impairment or memory, dizzy,
blcepv, or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings
and irritability or temper. The blood itself be
iug diseased, as it forms the sweat upon tbe sur
face of the skin, is so irritatinc and poisonous
that it produce discolored brown spots, pimples,
blotches and other eruptions, sorts, boils, car
bancles and scrofulous tumors. The stomach,
bowels, and other orgaus spokeu of, cannot es
cape becoming affected, sooner or later, and
costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhoia,
female weakuess, and many other forms or chro
nic disease, are among tbe necessary resoults.
As a remedy for all these manifestations of dis
ease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
with small daily doses of his Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are positively unequalled. By tbem the
liver and stomacli are changed to an active and
healthy state, the appetite regulated and restor
ed, the blood and secretions thoroughly purified
and enriched, nnd the whole system renovated
and built up anew. Sold by all first-class drug
gists and dealers in medicine.

a good Superintendent it elected ; but as the Ship

COWMl'NICATEU.
In Memouicm. On Friday uight, or tht 15th
inst., Mrs. Amelia D. Gkant, wife of Mr. Thos.
D. Grant, passed from her earthly home to tho
land of immortality. Several weeks previous to
her decease, she had been attacked with that
flattering, but fntnl diseuse, consumption. All
that medical 6ki!l,nnd kind, carefnl attention
could do, were used to arrest the disease, and al
leviate ber sufferings, but day after day this dis
ease invaded her system, until death ended tbe
struggle. Mrs. Grant was or an eminently so
cial nature, aud surrounded by the attentions of
a home where the spirit of love reigned, she was
culled to no common trial when it became appa
rent that she must part with loved ones at home.
What is beyond human strength, the griice of
God enabled her to do enabled her to meet
death calmly. She was conscious that death
was approaching, but ber hand of faith rested so
hopefully on ber Divine Redeemer that "bhe felt
safe In His hands.'' She left a devoted husband,
aud two yonng children to inouru over her de
parture ; but tbi-y, with the relatives and friend
of the deceased, are not left to mourn as those
who have no hoi. We n"r u,w l' sleep
with the hope of a resurrection to immortality
aud glory. M.
At a special meeting of the members of Sho
bomokiu Tribe, No. CO, I. O. of R. M., the fol-
! lowing preamble and resolutions were unani
mously passed :
hekcas, The all-wb-e Great Spirit has again
caused the shadow of death to invade our wig
wam, and removed from our midst Brother J. D.
Zitttnian, to the hunting grounds of our Great
Chler, on the 19 sun, cold moon ; therefore be it
Retoired, That wo humbly bow submission to
the will of our Great Father In His will to re
move from our tribe and Council fires our broth
er, believing it wise in giving us warning to be
also prepared to enter His hunting grounds.
Resoltvd, That while we feel the loss sustained
of a brother, whose heart wus always with us in
bestowing charity to the worthy, aud who cher
ished the principles of our beloved Order, wc
tliull take this warning to be wise, and will nt
mourn, bnt heed the teachings of Him who doeth
all things well.
Reolicd, That we sincerely condole with the
family of our deceased brother who have been
bereft or a father aud husband.
Re$nhnl, That in rett-cct to our deceased
brother the Wigwam be draped In mourning, and
that the members of the tribe wear tho usual
badge of mourning for the space of one moon.
Retolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
presented to tbe family or the deceased, and ibal
they be publi-ibcrf.

Just opening, tho Immense stock of goods,
bought by Clement & Dissiuger, during the last
week, at Philadelphia and N. York, at their store
room on Market Square. Their goods are cheap
er than ever, which consist of the largest variety
that has yet been brought to this town.
J. B. Smith & Bito., have again reduced the
price of Boots & Shoes. They are determined to
keep to panic prices. Their sto?k is all the la
test style, ani made up of good material. No
one should neglect to buy now, while the prices
are down. They are gentlemanly in their inter
course with those who visit tbem, and being good
judges of boots and shoes, the best can be had at
their Excelsior store, on Market street, Sunbury.
Tue gay and fancy articles of Dry Goods at
Marx and Brothers' store, in Masonic buildings,
are attracting more attention than ever. The
best bargains iu town are made at their store. It
is the Cheapest place to buy, and their goods are
not excelled either in quality, general assort
ment or beauty.
No one denys that Simon & Oppenbeimer
keep au immense stock cf ready made Clothing.
Nor will any one deny that tbey sell them chea
per than elsewhere. They sell rapidly at small
profits, giving tbe largest benefit to the purcha
ser. Every style of clothing for men and boys
can be bad dirt cheap. Their stock of furnishing
goods is immense.

mako final arrangements for the drawing, which
will positively lake place at tbe time advertised,

secure their tickets at once, as the time is short,

ment, and some will, perhaps, delay tbe matter
until too late. The very laudable object for
which the Gift Concert is given for the purpose
of liquidating the debt on the Company's steau
fire engine should enlist the active sympathy
and aid of all our citizens, and especially is it im
