The only fall of coal we hear of now-u-days is

"What a charming number" says every one

for $3.20.

The Towanda correspondent of the Elmira
Gazette , who is posted on the subject, and
knows whereof he affirms, lias this to say in
regard to the approaching dramatic enter
tainment in this place:
"The handsomest lady in Towanda takes
part in the "Johnson benefit." No one per
son will be allowed to purchase more than
ten reserved seats for the "Johnson benefit."
This will do away with much of the unpleas
antness which has been experienced hereto
fore in getting a good reserved scat.

THK NKW YORK TRIBUNE.— For the Pres
idential year every well-informed citizen
should have a leading metropolitan newspa
per. We commend to all such the annual
prospectus of the New York Tribune , which
we print in another column. For nearly
forty years the Tribune has been a great
power for good in* this country, and it never
was a better paper than it is now, and never
wielded a greater influence in favor of the
right in politics, as well as morals, than it
does to-day. We commend it to every family
as a paper that cannot be read without profli.
Its otter of Chamber's Cycloptedia as a premi
um, is on terms so low as to be phenomenal.

Our young friend BREZEE, of I)YE & Co.'s,
is enjoying a vacation, visiting friends in

maidens of Cooperstown as his bride.
We are indebted to Col. OVERTON for a
copy of the Congressional Directory for the
present session. The compiler makes this
notice of our member:
"FIFTEENTH DISTRICT.
Counties —Bradford, Susquehanna, Wayne
and Wyoming.
Edward Overton, Jr., of Towanda, was
born at Towanda, Pennsylvania. February 1,
ISSHS; graduated at Princeton College, New
Jersey, in 185(5; was admitted to the liar in
1858; entered the Union Army in September
INtit, as Major of the Fiftieth Regiment of
Pennsylvania Volunteers; was promoted to
Lieutenant Colonel in lHtt'), and from that
time commanded the regiment until mustered
out October, 18(54; sorved as Register in
Bankruptcy from ls<7 until elected in 187(5 to
the Forty-fifth Congress; and was re-elected
to the Forty-sixth Congress as a Republican,
receiving 13,145 votes against 3,783 votes for
Dimmick. Democrat, and 9,5321 votes lor
DeWitt, National."
We are surprised and gratified at the evi
dence of thrift and large business which a
visit to JAMES MCCABE'S store furnishes. IT
will be remembered that Mr. McC. closed
out his stock about a year ago, with the in
tention of retiring from trade, but his numer
ous customers, in town and out. prevailed
upon him to continue, and with an entirely
fresh stock of family groceries, he opened a
store in Mercur Block, late last sping. His
old customers, and many new ones, were not
slow in finding him out , and his establishment
now presents the appearance of a bee-hive.
He buys for cash, and never keeps inferior
goods; is frank and honest in his dealings, so
that the poorest child in town is treated wi.li
the same respect and courtesy, ami receives
the same quality of goods that the richest inau
would. It is no wonder that such a dealer
is always crowded with customers.
FITCII has the best assortment of common
and tine candies, including WHITMAN'S cele
brated confections, ever offered in this market.
Now is the time to make your Christmas pur
chases.
O. A. BLACK has fitted up an office on the
second floor of the building lately oeeupid by
the crockery store, where lie will confine him
self to the Sewing Machine and Insurance
business.
When you start out to purchase candies,
fruits and confectionery, remember that
FITCH'S is headquarters for all those articles,
and you can rely upon getting a genuine arti
cle. He manufactures most of his candy, and
is enabled to furnish his customers fresh
stock.

rS" IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DIREC
TORS AND TAX PAYERS—The fol

There is but one time in the year when di
rer, ors can adopt a new series of text books
for the schools under their charge, or change
old ones, and that is between the time of
electing teachers and the opening of the
schools. Section 26, Act of M; y 1.1854, says :
"That immediately after tin; annual election
of teachers in each school district of the state,
and la-fere the opening of the schools for the
ensuing term, there shall be a meeting of the
d'eaoors or controllers and teachers of each
district; at which meeting the directors or
controllers shall decide upon a series of school
books, in the different branches to be taught
during the ensuing school year; which books,
and no other, shall be used in the schools of
the district during said period."
Such is the law, with this exception, that
books cannot now be changed more frequent
ly than once in three years.
