ciable at the Institute next Friday evening,

mand the liberal patronage of all our people.
The following note from Mr. ACKLKY, will
explain itself :
SPRING HILL, Jan. 24, 1880.
Dear Sirs: —Please say in Monday's RE
VIEW that the Singing School will be "held on
Tuesday evening.
Truly yours,
8. F. ACKLKY.
" Cast the beam out of thine own eye."
The Mercury criticize* the RKVIKW on account
of a typographical error, the substitution of
u for , and in the same issue the hypercriti
cal editor indites and prints this sentence:
" Rev. E. I*. Browne of Troy, held services
in Christ Church Sunday. And preached two
excellent sermons, both morning and even
ing."
We have heard that when people are in a
certain condition they have double vision, but
this is the tirst instance recorded of the singu
lar phenomenon of the same condition of the
organs of hearing.
We were shown ut JKFFCAUKY'N shop this
morning a very unique and original piece of
kitchen furniture, which the builder styles a
" Cooking Table." It is constructed of thor
oughly seasoned chestnut and ash ; contains
a large kneading-board, which tits in like a
drawer when not in use, places for soda, su
g, r, spices and the various implements used
in making bread, biscuit, cake, etc. At one
end is a compartment large enough to contain
two sacks of flour. As the top is perfectly
tight the table may be utilized for almost any
purpose in the kitchen when not occupied by
the kneading-board.
This ingenious piece of furniture was made
for Mrs. ,1. F. SANDKHHON. ami we have no
doubt Mr. CAIJF.Y will have orders for many
more of them as th< ladies become familiar
with the convenience and labor-saving utility
of the invention. Every tidy house-keeper
should cull and examine it.
The revival of business boom may be said
to have fairly struck this section. The Eureka
Mower Co. are established on a firm founda
tion, and doing a prosperous business. The
Nail Works will soon be in full blast, and
now the good news reaches us that a new
Coal Company i to be organized and com
mence operations ai no distant day: and what
makes the last item more interesting to To
wandians is the fact that our townsman,
JAMES MACTAKLANE. is to have the manage
ment of the company, and that. he will be
assisted by bis two sons, EDWARD and OKA
HAM. The following notice of lite enteprise,
which we have no douht is oilieial and au
thentic. we take from .Saturday's Eltnira Ad
vertiser :
•'The Barclay Coal Company, in addition to
their mines and railroad in Bradford county.
Pa., which are operated by the N. V. L. E. &
W. KB., under a lease to the Towanda Coal
Company, have for several years owned an
other large coal tract, nearer Towanda, which
formerly belonged to Elisha A. Packer. These
lands are held under a charter in the name of
the Long Valley Coal Company.
"During the last summer some explorations
were math' on them by Mr. K. F. Lyon, the
engineer of the Towanda Coal Company,
which have proved the existence of an excel
lent held of coal, with a bed of live feet of
good coal. The owners have concluded that
the time lias come to open a colliery at Long
Valley. For this purpose they have secured
tin! services of James Maefarlane, Esq., and
ins two sons, Edward <). and Graham Mae
farlane, and have placed a large sum of money
at their disposal, to be expended immediately
in the requisite works fora first-class colliery,
with coke-ovens for the manufacture of coke.
A short branch of the Barclay railroad, a
short tram-road from the mines, with an in
clined plane for the mine cars, will bring the
coal to the railroad at Lamoka station, ten
miles from Towanda.
"On the completion of tins works, which
will require several months, they are to be
operated pennantlv by Mr Maefarlane and
Ins sons, under a highly advantageous lease
to another company, which will probably be
called the Lamoka Coal Company. The min
ing village, which will soon be erected at the
new mines, will be called Long Valley. The
office of the Coal and Coke Company will be
at Towanda, where Mr. Maefarlane has al
ways resided.
"It is well known that he was the first
General Manager of the Barclay Railroad
and Coal Company for eight years, during
the trying times when the semi-bituminous
coal trade was in its infancy. He afterwards
organized the To'vanda Coal Company, and
conducted it two years, and since then he has
been for thirteen years the general sales agent
of the Bloosburg Coal Association for the
State of New York, and for the last your for
the western states. His son Edward, ntiw
living in Rochester, has had several years
experience in the coal business as salesman,
both of Bituminous and Anthracite coal, and
Mr. Graham Maefarlane, who is a civil and
mining engineer by profession, was employed
by General Magee*during the construction Of
the coal works at Antrim, and of those of the
Bufialo Coal Company at Cleurmont, in Me-
Kean county, of whose mining operations at
the latter place he has had general charge
since iheir commencement."

treat in store. Our townsman, E. L. Hit.Lis,
Esq., one of the fluent elocutionists in the
country, is to give them an entertainment of
select readings on Wednesday evening, by
invitation of the "Home Course," Committee.
A young woman named ELLA HAGGKKTY
and a young man named DANIKL SHKKIIAN
were arrested Saturday night, in a place at
the corner of Main and Water streets, by
Chief KNAI'P and Captain DKIHTKK. There
seems to be something very wrong in a
law that will only hold a man as a wit
ness, to be then released, while the woman
is punished. The young woman is not more
than fifteen, and is from the neighborhood of
Tow a nda.— Elm ira A dnrt iscr.
Tlx- February number of Scribncr contains
an admirable article*on tin- alcoholic question.
The editor takes a bold and advanced position
on the temperance discussion, aiming well di
rected blows at the very root of the evil of
intemperance, bv demanding that children in
the public schools shall be taught that alcohol
is simply a poison, and distinctive to the con
stitution; producing misery, pauperism ami
crime. The paper ought to he carefully read
by thoughtful parents.
At the last regular meeting 01' the I'hiloinu
