THE 'citizens of (his place are busily en
•gagod in slocking their coal houses with an
'thraeite. A pretty fair article of coal is be
fng dealt out in litis market. It is selling at
S2 75 per ton, delivered.
Wi have been enjoying in this section for
the past few days what is commonly called
"Indian Summer.' - The weather has been
'delightful, affording our farmers an excel-*
'lent opportunity to gather their corn, and
'complete their Fall work.
WE notice that the Bank of Danville, on
last Tuesday, declared a dividend of 5 per
cent -for the last six months. The credit of
the Bank was $416,641 15, while the debt
was $220,731.69, leaving a balance in favor
of the Bank ol $249,570 13.
PROF. PRICE will walk the wire in Danville
on Saturday, the 12th inst, from the Mon- 1
tour House to the Court House steeple. He
has just returned from down country where
lie has been performing to large audiences
and given, we are informed, general satis
faction.
Dtt. J. RAMSEY, of this place, on last Sat
ttrday, raised the frame work of a shed on
bis farm, just below town, to which raising
we had an "invite" and was numbered
among the "raisers." We saw another j
member of tire editorial fraternity among
the logs.
IMMERSION —On Tuesday afternoon last,
five persons of this place were immersed
in Fishingcreek, not far from town. The
•immersion was performed under instruc
tions of the Baptist Church. This organi
zation is holding a series of meetings in
their new Church at this place, with toler
ably good success.
THE march pf improvement in this place
is still onward atrd upward— pretty near
Tunning over people. In taking a stroll
through our town the other day we noticed
several murks of enterprise in Ihe way of
fencing and building. This speaks well for
a place, considering the so much complain
ed ol "hard times." The Hartman brothers
. are erecting two handsome frame dwelling
I, "houses in the neighborhood of Rock Street
■west Bloomsburg, which will bo to let when
-completed.
WE learn from the last Danville lateb'igcn
ter that, a horse belonging to C. H. Christ
mat., formerly of this place, ran away with
a buggy to which it was attached, and Mr.
Christraan, in endeavoring to catch the ani
mal. was thrown between the wheels, dis
locating his left arm at the shoulder joint.
The horse was caught before doing any
further damage. The limb was set aright
again, and Mr. C. is doing as well as could
be expected.
WE TAKE great pleasure in calling attention
-of the public to the Beer and Oyster Saloon
•of Mrs. CAROLINE CLAIIR, in the Exchange
Block, at this place, which is being super- |
intended by our obliging young friend,
Henry Shipmnn. It is now in full operation,
stocked with nearly everything that can be
-called for, both in eating and drinking By
particular request of its caterer the denizens
of the STAR office were invited to "smile"
over a glass of superior Phil'n. Ale. Not
imbibing ourseff, we could only judge of
its superiority by the way the rest smacked
. w their lips, as if it tasted good.
PORF. J. DVER, the celebrated vocalist from
-Philadelphia entertained some of our citizens
5p on last Saturday and Monday evenings by
" giving two of his concerts ol vocal music.
. accompanied by the Guitar, in the Academy
•nd Court House. Mr. D. is a blind vocal-
If 5,1 , and has lew superiors. His pieces were
axcellent, and were well sung. We were
•orry to see so small a number present at
both entertainments. Had it been a "circus"
tot a "darky show" there would have been
** a full house. This should not be so, but
- alas, it is too much the case.
PRISONER ESCAPED. —On last Monday even
ing a prisoner by the name of Wm. Cook,
confined in Jail at this place, made his es
cape by taking the key from some of the
family, who were wailing upon ihe inmates
■WiltA victuals, during the absence of the
Sheriff. After getting possession of the key
he locked all hands in and run.— I
The alarm was soon given by the rest of the
lazily outside of the "big gates," when
ovoral men started in pursuit of him and
over took the gentleman near lrondale Fur
nace, Jvhere a pretty brisk tussle ensued,
accompanied with some Bevere blows, if we
may judge from the appearance of the pris
oner's Cranium. He was brought back and
snugly'lodged in Jail again by bis captors,
who, afterward, ornamented his lower ex
tremities with a splendid piece of jewelry
adapted for that purpose.
FAT HEIFER.— We were shown a few days
ago by Mr. ZK*ULON GROSS at his slaughter
house, in thisfplace, the fatest heifer that
has been butchered here this season. It was
most excellent bee?; and few butchers there
are, any where, that kill better cattle than
does Mr. Gitoss. This heifer was brought
from Bradford county, by Mr. Henry Bitten
bender, of Fishingcreek, who disposed of it
to Mr. GROSS. We would not boast of the
size of this animal, as we have seen many
larger ones, but we would boast of its fat
ness as we have not seen its equal in this
place. Bradford county cattle are superior
to the slock raised in this county, and grass
and foliage seem to fatten thera better than
grain does ours. Our farmers should pay
more attention to the raising of stock. Feed
more grain instead of selling it, and make
your money out ol stock. The larger the
amount of grain fed, the richer will be the
manure, and the greater the price paid for
your cattle.

PROCLAMATION#
FELLOW CITIZENS :—The blessings vouch
safed by a kind Providence through the past
year, demand onr grateful recognition and
again call lor the sacrifice of Thanksgiving
and praise. Under the protection of a Gov
ernment thai secures to all equal rights, we
have pursued, unmolested, the various avo
cations of life, with more than usual pros
perity. The earth under the labors of the
husbandman, has yielded her increase, and
our barns and store houses are crowded
with the fruits of the harvest. We have
not only been preserved from the ravages
of the pestilence, but the past has been a
year distinguished for health in our large
, cities and throughout all our rural districts.
Our country has been preserved in peace.—
Our homes have been the abode of tran
quility, and blessings innumerable have
clustered around our domestic hearths.—
Our various schools and seminaries of lear
ning are diffusing throughout our commun
ity a higher intelligence, and imparting to
our youth noble aspirations. The institu
tionsof our holy religion are well sustained;
and under i's pure and ger.ial influence, the
spirit of unity and love, the earnest of yet
better days, is most happily developed.—
To God, lite Great and the good, we are in
debted for ail, and to Hun let praise be ren
dered.
With these sentiments, and in accordance
with the known wishes of many of my
fellow-citizens. -I, WILLIAM F. PACKER, Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth ol Pennsylva
nia, do hereby appoint
THURSDAY, 'he 24'/t day of November next,
as a day of general Thanksgiving and praise
to Almighty God. and recommend to all our

tomary worldly business, —assemble in
their respective places ot worship, and
j unite in praising God for excellent greatness
toward us—beseeching Ilis gracious forgive
ness.
