On Saturday eclning *nit! o'clock Ed,
KiDint! fell off the canal basi4ridga, near .
the Episcopal Church. He reniained in la
senseless condition oil night, exposed to :a
ponrkg rain, and was found 'at 5 o'clock
on Su rimming, but',Aad not yet re
covered consciousness. Iv+ taken to
the residenc6 of his sister in East Towanda
and medical: aid 'summoned. At bast +-
counts he was in a critical condition_nnd
his recovery considered : denbtful. He is
the seventh.perion whoilais fallmi into the
old basin, the rocky bed of: which is -from
20 to 25 feet below the railroad track, but
fortunately none of the parties were killed
by the fall. Tho rarer' coming have
had the bridge fixed so that there is nip
danger of falling through between the ties,
as formerly, but Killituff:- walked off the
vl l O of the bridge. •
That the fools are not all dead-yet, is
evidenced by tho following from:the Owego
TiIIICS of. last week: "We tkought we had
notified the farmers of, the a' iunty to beware
of, the . man who WWI offering to put tip,. •on,
your farm, flour and feedifills, and to give
one to thejnan who.would sell three. At
least two of Tioga County's farmers have
been cadght, andlnd themselves trapped
into paying a note, of $320.00. One of them
compromised for $75.00, and the other
bought the mills and made the best terms
he could. When will - men learn wisdom:
We never recommended mob, law, but
would like to see such fraudshorse -whipped
or tarred and feathered." • ,
Our people will bei . plensal to learn that
the Original New Orleans Minitrels,—;they
of the Golden Horns—are to, give one, of
their excellent entertainments' in MarcUr
IfaU, on Monday evening next, May i 22.
This is undoubtedly one of the best if 'not.
thovery best, Minstrel Troupe that ever
visited our place. On their, last visit here
they were given a fullhonse and no enter
tainment given in Mercer . Hall, was ever
better received by the audience present.
They will no doubt play to a crowd rl houses
on Monday evening, and we advise', all, to
secure their seats early. The Price of
tickets Will be 33 and 30 cents, Reserved
seats at Kirby's Drug Sinre;
With reference to. the prospect of holding
camp•meetings -at Minneqns., the Canton
Sentinel of last week says: "The com- .
niittee appointed to examine Minnequa and
make arrangements for the accomthoda
tion of those attending' camp . meeting
viewed the: grounds. on Saturday and re
ceived proposals frOm Mr. Iniynolds:_that
were deemed. satisfactory. A meeting of
niinisteri and deacons of the Methodist
church in ihe'distriet was held this week,
at which it Nkas expected the report of the
committee would be ratified. We have no
information what was done, _ but s those in
position to know are quite confident that a
• camp' meeting will be held some time in
August." . .

Monroe Hotels.
An hour in the hotels shows the.decorum
of dpeeple as readily as an hour in their
churches evinces their devotion. If this is
all reliable, we have a well behaved popti,
lace in Monroe, and churches that are re--
spectrally pafronized. Churches and luiL
tell are equal in numbers in the place, but;
as to whieli excels in patronage, the church
, es or the hotels, your deponent is unable to,
state. I should judge, however, that all
are doing unnrecedentiv well. If this is
not the case, Monroe should be provided
with better accomodations for so generous a
popull4ce and high-minded a people.
Thq first hotel that meets us in the face,
as we step into town froni the Towanda
`way, is the Summers House, kept by Geo
Wank, Esq., and it is quite an imposing
edifice, well calculated to attract attention,'
' and draw custom by. 'virtue of its location .
and 'general 'attractiveness. . Mr. Wank,
assisted by his very gentlemanly clerk, D.
S. Hicks: Esq„. succeeds in furnishing 'a
quiet, well-conducted find orderly house,
and .evidently draws More custom and of a
better class, than all the hotels of Monroe
could boast of ten years ago. If he has any
loafers, hangerson, setters, 'brawlers or
dead-weights, they must be hid in' the back
yard somewhere, as in sight everything is
neat, tidy, inviting and agfeeable.
