The "Wednesday Club" is a new organiza
tion in Tovvanda, and has for its object liter
ary and dramatic culture. It is composed
of some of our beet citizens, and w ill doubt
less result in benefit, not only to its members,
but literary people generally. The officers
are:
President —Doctor I). L. PRATT.
Vice President— Mrs. HENRY MERCUR.
Cor. Sec % u —Mrs. ANC.IE POPE.
Sec'y and Treas. —E. L. HILLIS.
Meetings arc held semi-monthly, at the
homes of members.
AN OLD STORY.— Mr. W. 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. FKANK
SMAI.I.EY, of Syracuse University, lias just
published a work entitled "Smulley's Latin
Analysis," which has received the approval
and commendation of some of the foremost
scholars of the country. We congratulate
the Professor on his success as an author.
The work is designed especially for a text
book, and we have no doubt will come iuto
general use in high schools and colleges.
