We were shown through the basement story of J AMES MCCARE'S extensive grocery establishment the other day. and found it filled with butter, sugar, pork and hams. Speaking of hams, Mr. Met ARE has long en joyed a reputation for preparing them by a process peculiar to himself, which has given him an extensive trade in them. They are "pickled" and smoked under his personal supervision, and when you have once tasted the hams which have gone through his manip ulation. you will never buy any other when you can get his. The s *ason for ham and egys is approaching, and just take our advice aid order one of those superior hams pu up bv MR. MCCARE. 4" e Itev. JAMES F. CALKINS, who lias just ben dismissed, at his own request, from o\er the Presbyterian church at Wellsboro. Pa., has held that office for nearly thirty-six xears. The Rev. C. ('. CARR, of Horseherds, Is another exaninle of long continued ministry •over one society. He is hut a few years be lli nd Rev. Mr. CALKINS. Such eases speak volumes in favor both of the church and the clergymen. The Rev. T. K. BEECIIER, D.D.. of this city. is also another instance in point, Ileis not quite up to the two named, but he can go over a qvarter of a eenturx. and if he lives, will probably reach the greater number of years named. We are not alone in fervent ly hoping it may be so. — Free I'rexe. Personal. V. MAC LONG, of Troy, is in town to-day. J.

Miss Hunt is an earnest, thorough teacher] and possesses the cardinal virtueof being strict in keeping good order, the latter causing the j oiiiplniiit. At the meeting of the Towanda Bridge Co., n Wednesday, the following persons wore leeted directors: ,1. S. TOME, GEO 11. TOME, G. F. MASON. JOHN E. FOX, JOHN F. SAN- I EHSON, U.S. WATSON. MILLER FOX was re-elected President, and >.N. HETTS Secretary and Treasurer. > Maj. HALE, who has been a director for nearly forty years, and who is the largest stockholder in the county, was defeated for director, as were lion. J. G. PATTOX and [JAMES T. HALE, because these gentlemen were not favorable to the policy of further I contesting the right of the county to take the bridge and make il free. The election of directors of the Citizens National Hank took place xesterday. The following gentlemen were elected : E. T. Fox. HEN.I. M. FECK. HEN.I. KEY KEN HAI.L, JAMES MACEARI.ANE, S. W. LIT TLE. WM. DITTRK it, P. It. ACKI.EY. The nuinlvrof directors having been reduc ed from eleven to seven, N. C. ELSRKEK, 11. A. FONDA, M. H. WRIGHT and J. M. SMITH were left off the ticket. Mr. ELSBREE de : dined a re-elction. At a subsequent meeting of the directors E. T. Fox was re-elected President, and H. M. PECK, Vice President. (J. A. GURXSEY was cont'nued cashier. All the officers were chosen without opposi j tion. Col. STANLEY WOODWARD. of Wilkes- 1 Barre, is a li elong democrat, but lie entered ' heartily into the campaign for the nomination and election of his neighbor and personal friend, HENRY HOYT, for Governor at the peril of his reputation in hisown party. Now ; the < fovernor has appointed Col. WOODWARD Judge of Luzerne county, to till a vacancy, , whereat the republicans, and especially the Record appear to be very wroth. It looks to us as though the Governor had only discharg ed an honest political obligation. Hon. 11. B. PAYNE. the Republican applicant for the place, is one of the ablest and purest men in the state, and would have honored the position, but Gov. HOYT having solicited and received the aid of his Democratic competitor, we think his action in the "matter does credit to his heart. At the election next fall we hope Mr. PAYNE may be nominated and elected to the position for a full term. SIIOI LR COUSINS Kiss!' —Number three, of a series of prize questions promulgated by the London Whitehall ffericir, "Should adult cousins, male and female, lie allowed to kiss each other!'" Some of the answers re ceived as follows: YKH, BECAUSE Jacob, after having personated Ksau, kiss ed his cousin Rachel as soon as he saw her, and their parents approved. Then they will care for .it as little as gro wers' boys do for sugar. 1 Shakespeare says: "Kiss me, sweet coz:" Und Tennyson says of himself and his "Cousin i ■Liny": "And our spirits rushed together at tie touch of the lips." If As a lady is concerned it must be consider ed a fair proceeding. If she is married it cannot be a-miss. HrOuc touch of nature makes the whole! wrld akin." a kiss being a touch of nature, ! fitly should kiss to make them still more akin.

(If CT IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DIREC TORS AND TAX PAYERS —The 10l- I lowing decision of the Superintendent of Public Instruction is of great importance to tax-payers as well as directors, as violation lof the law upon the subject will deprive di - 1 tricts of the State appropriation, and subject Directors to severe penalties: DEPARTMENT OF Pun. INS., [ Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 1. 1879. j There is but one time in the vcur when di rectors can adopt a new series of text books 1 for the schools under their charge, or change ! old ones, and that is between the time of 1 electing teachers and tin- opening of the ! schools. Section 23. Act of Mt.y 1. 1854, says: | " That immediately after the annual election 1 i of teachers in each school district of the state. .' and before the opening of the schools for the ensuing term, there shall be a meeting of the directors 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 sclie"! year; which books, I i and no other, shall be used in the schools of . I the district during said period." Such is the law. with this exception, that ' ! books cannot now be changed more frequent ; J Iv than once in three years. J. P.
