PITTRICII, a prosperous grocer of Tovvanda, was in the city yesterday. His first appearance here was thirty years ago, when as a musician he came with the Powell Theatre Company in a stage across the mountain. Wilkcs-Barrc was too small a place in those days to support a public hall, and the troop wont to South Wilkes-Barrc, erected a frame building and began a two week's engaeinent. It is not surprising to know that the company came to grief financially. Mr. Pm Ricuand the two olher musicians who composed the ochestra, were penniless, but not disheartened. They started out. to serenade different ladies in this town and Kingston. In two nights they real ized $lB9, which sum was sufficient to pay their bills and take them away. The party boarded at the I'luenix Hotel, which stood where the Wyoming Hotel is now. Wilkes- Barre appreciated good music thirty-two years ago, and did not value cheap theatrical performances. — Wilkes-Bar re liecord. Owego Blade —In looking over Tovvanda papers we now and then sec the honorable mention of LAWRENCE HOI.LKRAN. NOW, there is nothing strange in this; but as that is the home of our younger days, it brings a retrospective thought to our mind, some fif teen or sixteen years ago, and vvc wonder if this is not the one and same LAURA, the genial, social Knight of St. Crispin, the man who never forgets to be a gentleman, with whom in our erst-vvhile days used to take— and here we confess it — a social glass of "Murry's auld potthenc," and pass a pleasant hour. When the war for the Union called for troops, he went to the front. We have not seen him {since, but we know lie made a good soldier, us he \v.s a good citizen. It is some years since we saw in a paper that he had gone back to the "Green Isle," where he was to make his future home. So we take t it for granted that Tovvanda had attrac tions for him, as he returned to that place. But here we must stop, for the years that have come and gone have been fraught with manv pleasant scenes and sad incidents of which we have neither time nor space to mention. Suffice it to say, should a future oceusion permit us to cross palms with LAW RENCE, it would be our greatest pleasure. The Committee of arrangements of Watkins I'ost, received a telegram last night changing the time of General KILPTRICK'S lecture from March 18th, as previously annonnced, to Friday, March VMh. Remember the change. At the meeting of the "Wednesday Club," held at Col. MASON'S on Wednesday evening, one of the lady members who bad been ap pointed writer of "local news" favored the Club with a poetical effusison which was so well received by the members that it was solicited for publication in the REVIEW. It is a clever effort, and we hope it raav be follow by many others. Beyond this world there is n sphere, As some believe, or hope, or fear, According as their fancies lean To tilings material or unseen, Where mortals from this world departed, Upon a new and strange life started, Enjoy those scenes of heavenly rest, Among the mansions of the blest— Prepared for those who here below, Through narrow paths, and straight do go; Or, having in their earthly state Preferred the wide and easy gate In purgatory meditate, Upon the stolen waters sweet, And secret bread which here they eat, Lamenting that the after taste Of food they chose in thoughtless haste, Should be ao bitter. And no device Could save them from the consequences, In wretched thoughts, and tortured senses, Of uctions "naughty, yet so nice." It happens there as here, Friendships are formed both sweet and dear, That birds and fowls of kindred feather As here below, flock together. The spheres divide in little coteries— Art and science have their rotarles. The gossips still their trade pursue, And grind forever slander's mill, For 'tis a truth that is not new, Theliltliy will be filthy still. One difference great, in realms ot space, That each soul fits in its own place. A set of selves are kept on hand, In places high, and each new band Of comers miscellaneous, Are in them instantaneously shaken. They fit the shupo of all poor souls, Which, after passing tnrough the holes, Are sorted out according to their size— A company both good and wise. But evil hearts in form are changed; The wondrous selves are so arranged These wicked souls catch fast and stick, tVtuuToe vvTtTTtTTi tliey have gfowti tnica:? ' ""** It happened once upon a time, A fresh arrival in this clime, Became the cause of some commotion Among those spirits whose devotion, To mundane matters was conspicuous, And In a spirit quite ridiculous. From regions near the Susquehanna— A river liner than Ahana — That Naaman loved in days of old. Tills Bpirit came and thus was toid That it was hound to freely speak to those around its knowledge and own private views Upon the subject of local new*, The new arrival begged to state In life and thoughts 'twas most sedate; Of rumors flying, it iiad heard, And treasured an occasional word, it thought, but still would not insist That some in town were fond of Whist. The schools had ceased the use of hickory; The dancing club was called Tepslchoro; While others hud become fanatic Over the art they called Dramatic. In politics we've had Conventions, Discussing much their good intention To make some wise and fit selection, To vote for at the next election. Among the classes and conditions Are found, of course, the town's musicians, To give their lives variety, They've formed a Musical Society. But nothing's had the great attraction, And given the happy satisfaction, Afforded by the class in reading, Which some how failed to keep proceeding. To give this subject of local news, Its full, complete, and propper dues, "I feel incompetent," the Spirit said, "This topic grave—l've scarce the head To comprehend. The Reporter's part— Is far too great—l've not the art. Let Argus, with his hundred eyes, Who sees all thoughts, all smiles, all sighs, A Journal be of weekly Information, To tell w hat's passing in the nation. It may not be Republican, But politics arc under ban; Then, if you wish something new, I refer you to the Daily KKVIKW. Our former townsman. I'rof.
