The entertainnient - given in Music Hall
last evening by'the Agnes Villa Company
was patronized by the people of Pittston
better than any other dramatic performance
given here this season; in fact, the hall was
almost packed to such an extent as to be
uncomfortable. The play opened with Sam
B. c and Little Lucie in the drama of "Miss
Halton," and; frOm the moment the cur
tain, raised until the close of the fifth act,
the performance was watched 'with the
deepest interest. As Sarah Mutton, Agnes
W, rills created genuine admiration; and
furnished ample proof that she is a leading
star in her profession. Throughout the play
she was ably suPported. Sam B. Villa is,
to say the least, an excellent comedian, as
was fully demonstrated in the ' laughable
after-piece, in three scenes, entitled "H.
R. H. Pocahontas." The burlesque Was the
most enjoyable wehave witnessed on the
boards of Music Hall this season; and eras
highly appreciated by the audience.---Scran

The above troupe will present the above
play at Mereur Hall, on Tuesday - evening,
August 29th. Reserved seats may he ob

The Hotel of the, Future.
A few of the enterprising monied' men
of this place are making , arrangement('
to form a stock company And build a hotel.
The stock has ea been taken and the land
secured; and ground will soon be hrOken
for the fotmdtition. It is to be built enithe
lot Occupied by the Central House, and will
probably be a two story brick building, con
taining about. 50 rooms; with two store
rooms in tht front. It will cost when
finished and furnished not far fron i s2s,ooo
This is an improvement which will he glad
ly welcomed, and will do much toward
making our village a favorite with trave
lers. The hotels we now have are perhaps
conducted as well as possible under the cir
cumstances, but they pre old, broken down
structures, which no hospitality can make
inviting. It is a !sliell known fact that
there are few travelers Nyhe will stay in
town over night, if there is any clime') to
getaway; when a first-class hotel - would .
hold them here. • There is no pleasanter
place in the country to spend the heated
term than Athens, with its fine - - boating,
fishing, drives and pictures4ueyiewS, and
nothing but the lack of proper : ' hotel ac- commodations have kept it from becoming
a popular resort. These are no* assured,
and the venture cannot fail to - be of profit
to the owners, and a Permanent benefit to
the place.-- Athens - Gaiette.
A PIC,-NIB
Truly that tho sea,sonifor picnics and cx
ursions is at hand and as been taken ad
vantage of by the citize '
t6s of Twanda, and
its adjacent villagel, is at by the ex
perience of a single week that D is just pass
ed, an amongst Ile number, qtongk per
haps smaller in point of numbers, yet not
the least in any respect (except financially)
was the one enjoyed by the paptist church
and Sabbath School on Thursday the 18th.
The day gave , eVery l appearance of, being
very knit and at about 10 *lock the : train
left the Court' House, and after stopping at
the rear of the Church, -in order that the
scholars and refreshments might be loaded,
we started on our journey to Weston Sta
tion over the Barclay R. R., under the
leadership Of our excellent townsman, Mr.
Lew Harris, who, besides being a -gentle-
man, is in every respect qualified to ,. guide
the affaiis of a passenger train loaded, as
Was his, with such precious freight. ,rriv-
ing safely at . our destination the work .oi
unloading was soon Weconnilished, and
glorious season of enjoyment at once in
augurated, for scarcely bad the r Woods
echoed with the songs of gladness Before
there were swings and hammocks slung up
in every direction and rambling . the order
of the day at once instituted by the boys,
whilst the
-girls were content to gather in
groups for :quiet atriusenvnt or • assisted in
preparing inevitable dinner towards
which t . he younger ones (and perhaps - the
older ones too) „had been casting ‘:longing
eyes for days ' , previously and to 'which,
when invited, all did ample justice, us there
was mole providd I than could possibly be
made away with: Then too, there was ice-.
cream and candies and none present failed
I to Comfortably supply all the cravings of
hunger to which man is addicted. ''Dinner
over there was a treat of 'a kind seldom en
joyed, for be '•
it- understood there were
!numbers of others, whonre friends of the
I' school. tad who attested the fact by their
presence. 'Amongst the number v,vere Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by their oc
coinplisheil daughters, together with Mr.
and Mrs. Thoinasief Eew York; with some
other friends who accorapanied'thein. It
is almost needless for me'-to say that it was
an after dinner treat to those of our readers ,
who haye ever heard them,'. bid to. those
who ha'ye been so unfortunate as. never- to
haveheard their - sweet voices, we would
say goiceven though it be for miles, at the
first chalice, and listen to their enchanting
melodies. It has been said of them that
Towanda may well be- proud of them (and
we trulare) for never has there been in
the hiStory of this country, such a family of
singei•S'as that upon which the mantle of
the lamented P.. i P, ! - Bliss. has fallen. Their
rendering of sacred melody is calculated to
rivet the attention of all who are permitted
Ito hear them - from the greatest unto the'
lea St. After their singing a few pieces Mr.
Wilson gave 'some interesting incidents oc
curring. during his recent labors with 31r."
Francis
. Murphy, in 'Moscow, Scotland, and
his pleasing manner won the attention of
all, both old and Young. Then there were
others • who are worthy of mention- . --al-,
though,not sing,. Among the'inost,pro
minent, ire might mention our venerable
townsman, Mr. E. Ai Parsons,_ who truly
enjoyed himself, as was clearly seen in the
face of the . gentleman.- We,must not fail
lo mention thelact that the Baptists of To
%rondo, are not drones in thehnsy hive, and
led by such an energetic and - hard worker
as their pastor, the -Rev. C. T. MalloWell,
who untiring in his efforts to make
every one 'cOmfortable and liitpny, iii fact
it was a hard Matter ; to find him'! idle dur
ing any part of the day, and the'Success'of
the pic-nic was in the main due to the ef
forts put forth by that truly hard-working
preacher, assisted bythe memberi of his lit
tle flock, - Tours &c
