The tramps arrested Saturday evening,
were held for their appearance at court.
The Mercury folks had the the misfortune
to pi two of their pages, which caused a

You may have a pleasant, time if you will

It is asserted by those who prol'ees to know
that the census enumerators for this county
have been selected, but their names have not
3 ct been made public.
A prominent and leading merchant of this
place, is paying a visit to Connecticut, and it
is an open secret that when he returns Mrs.
will accompany him. But we will not
anticipate. It will not he long before the happy
event will he made public, as we are in
formed the ceremony will take place to
morrow.
MAUY AX.V BRIJUK, daughter OL ROBERT
liItUCE, of the Third Ward, died last evening.
Deceased had just recovered from the mea
sles, and Sunday morning was around, and
apparently well. She went out of doors with
out her shoes on, and probably took cold,
caudug her death as above. Her age
was 15 years and <5 months. The funeral
will take place at 4 o'clock to-morrow after
noon.
The water works engineer corps started
out this morning for the purpose of laying
out the work preparatory to putting laborers
on. The first source of supply is the stream
flowing through the ravine this side of
Monroe. It i.s believed sufficient pure water
can be obtained there, but the pipes will be
extended to Mountain Lake. Mr. WILEY
has given the matter personal inspection, and
is satisfied that there will be no difficulty in
getting water here in a ft w months.
C. T. IIILN ION, editor of Williamsport Ban
ner, is an old friend of Brick I OMKKOY, who
once printed a paper in Athens. In a recent
is-.ue of bis paper he refers to "Brick" in this
kindly manner:
••'Hrick' i'omeroy has sold his La (,'ros.sc
Democrat to parties who will convert it into a
Republican journal. Times liavt! ehangi il
indeed, since I'omeroy took charge or' Unit
paper. At one time tins La (Jroscc JJtmucrut
bad A circulation of over OIK: hundred and
fifty thousand, tlie proprietor making a for
tune every year. An overreaching amhitioii,
however, led him to New York, where lie
started a daily. This venture proved dj<-
astrou.s l'rom the start, absorbing ul! his for
tune its well us that of other . lie then
branched out in Chicago, with lluctuating
success, and then returned to LaCrosse. His
has been an eventful life, and in u new field
of labor we hope he will iind repose if not.an
other fortune. Wo will not forget (he day at
Athens, when we had struggled in the publi
eulion of a weekly paper for two years, when
he signitied his detemination to go west, lie
was lull of ambition and hopes, important
elements in working one's way in a new
country, especially w hen that is all the capi
tal ut command. Without money or acquaint
ances he tramped the prairies from town to
tow until he came to La Crosse, w here,
nntgic-like, he won position and notoriety.
Personal.
Miss LOTTIE MOORE, who has boon visiting
in Harrisburg, returned home yesterday.
Among the visitors in town yesterday, we
noticed AI>AM IN MM and VAL. SAXTON, of

E. 11. J.vooßY, a former resident of this
place, but for the past several years a citizen

high reputation of our schools.
IIENRY ('. JOHNS, a Titusville lawyer, has

tenced to three months' imprisonment ami a

Mr. JOHNS commenced reading law in this
place about 23 years ago.
TROY, i'a., March 20, 1830.
We understand that E. C. OLIVER IS to
erect a new block on the site of the old Bal
lard Brick Block, which burned a few years
ago.
Under Prof. MCCOI.I.UM the (jraded School
is doing finely. Large classes have been
formed in Botanv. Geology and Virgil.
The graduating class is large. A large and
interesting class lias been formed of those pre
paring to teach.
l'rof. McCot.LUM has been sick with the
quinsy two or three days. By enumerating
the notices in the local papers we find he hn>
been sick nearly eight weeks -which is a
great mistake.
A new firm lias been formed in this place,
under the name of BLISS, WILLIAMS, A (to.
The members of the firm arc all well and
favorably known in this vicinity, and will
receive a large share of the trade, which the}
deserve.
CN \s. HKRKICK and (ire. LARKIN, (clerks
with LONG & Co.) have taken positions in

many friends.
Our (,'atlilic friends gave a "leap year ball"
Wednesday evening (St Patrick's Day). We
hear that, all passed oil' finely.
TROJAN us.
The correspondent of the .Journal lias this
to say about one of our business establsh
ineuts:
THE TOWANDA VARIETY WORKS.
In his strolls about town our reporter
found it within the line of duty to ••interview"
tie- above named works—or their proprietors
rather. The enterprise, under its present
organization, is a comparatively new one; i.e.
it lias been < stabdshed only about one, year.
The co-partners are (!. K. Tunper, general
manager. E. C. Dewcrs. who has charge
of the sash, door s rid blind department, and
Warren Iliil, who supervises the furniture
department. Another very important depart
ment of the works, the making of carriage
gams and bodies, is presided over by l>. E.
lluntler.
The co-partners lire men who are well
known hereabouts. Mr. Tupper came here
four years ago, from Oswego county, N. Y.
There lie Was engaged in the lumber tfade
for a number of years, and his experience in
the capacity of lumber merchant well fit
ted him to take supervisory charge of this
interest. Mr. I)ew< rs is origionally from
Susquehanna county. For a long time
he was one of the leading contractors
and builders of Scranton, and he is to
he accredited with having built a goodly
part of that. city. He used to build coal break
ers, aiso. Since then farming has occupied a
portion of his time, and Mince quitting the
farm, seven years ago, he has made Towanda
his business headquarters.
The other co-purl tier, Mr. I Till, is, without
doubt one of the most accomplished practical
mechanics that ever cutne to this borough,
lie is equally at home as a worker of wood < r
iron, and anything that passes his inspection
must, be perfect.
The Variety Works has a large, trade—a
trade that is constantly developing. Ttye va
rious specialties engaged in, too. give ample
room for the exercise of business tact and
sagacity. A general planing mill business is
done; sasit,doors, blinds, mouldings,brackets,
ets., lire made in large quantities, and the
furniture trade is especially good. The firm
anticipated having a hundred or more sets for
tlii! spring trade, but every one lias been
"gobbled up." and instead of being ahead,
they arc behind with work. Not so far be
hind, however, that they can't catch up with
orders.
The workshops are a luiisv place. Fifteen
to twenty persons arc employed, and their
work is supplemented by the use of the best
wood-working machinery.
I'.y wav of conclusion we may say that the
Towandii Variety Works have gained a most
excellent reputation—a reputation admit ably
sustained by the character of the product
turned out.
