Persona!.
Dr. R. 11. C'HILSON, Assessor of Ridgbury
township, made his return to the Commis
sioners yesterday and paid T tie REVIEW office
an agreeable call.
JIARKY GORE, of Dr. PORTER'S drug store,
is 011 the stck-list, his ailment is the prevail
ing disorder, a bad cold.
It affords us great pleasure to be able to an
nounce that both Mr. LANING and Hon. Jos*
POWELL are rapidl v convalescing. We hope
to see them out and enjoying their usual good
health very soon.
CHARLES FRALKY, one of our most skill
ful mechanics, has secured a position in the
Tillman Car Co's shops at Elmira.
Lieut. J. M. CALIFF, U. S. A., has been
spending a few days with his brother in this
place.
Editor STRONG, of the Dushore lleviexc,
was a welcome visitor at this office yesterday.
Hon. E. P.. IIAWLEY, late of the Montrose
Democrat, has been taken to'an insane asy
lum. He has been in decliniug health for
several years.
11011. It. R. JACKSON, WHO >" the past
twenty years lias been established is. business
in this place, leaves this week for Mount
Clemens, Michigan, where he intends to take
charge of a hotel. We regret to lose so good
a citizen, and trust that he may again become
a resident of Dushore.— Dushnre lleviexc.
JOHN 11. CRONIN. the new post-master of
Dushore, assumed the duties of the office last
Monday.
Rev. F. D. HOSKINS and wife have been
the guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Fox this
week.
Mrs. G. I). STROUD has been in town sev
eral days this week making preparations to
remove their household goods to Tunkhan
nock, where her husband lias taken a house
and they will commence housekeeping the
tlrst ot next month.
It, is quite complimentary to Mr. W. S..VIN
CENT'S reputation as an insurance man, that
he was simultaneously offered lucrative posi
tions by two of the oldest and soundest Life
Insurance Companies extant—the Mutual
Life of New York and the New York Life.—
We believe lie has decided to accept the pro
position of the latter, considering it the more
advantageous. While Mr. VINCENT'S friends
will rejoice with him in his good fortune in
securing a lucrative and responsible situation
and one lie is so eminently qualified to till,
they will regret that it necessitates his re
moval from Towanda. We believe he is to
take up his residence in the city of Erie. The
very best wishes of this entire community
will follow Mr. VINCENT and his family to
their new home, where they will he accorded,
we doubt not, the esteem and high social po
sition which tbev merit and enjoy here.
Another small instalment of the "beautiful"
this morning.
There is talk of building a new Methodist
church 011 Lime llill this county.
A section of a river bridge lodged at Ing
ham's eddy, Sugar Run, during the high wa
ter of last week.
We learn that the objections to Judge RUS
SELL'S discharge in bankruptcy were not sus
tained by the U. S. Court at Pittsburg this
week. Mr. R. will therefore be discharged
in due time.
A traveling theatrical company played
Enoch Arden and Fanchon the Cricket, at
Wyalusing on Monday and Tuesday evenings,

lage. Roth performances were fairly patron
ized.

five and a-half cents per pound, amounting to
$254 37. These mammoth steers were ship
ped to White Haven yesterday.
S. R. TIDD having elegantly fitted up one
of the stores in 11. STKEETER'S block, lias
opened a tirst class restaurant where warm
meals or a cold lunch will be served at all
hours. The cuisine department is in the
basement and connected with the dining
room by dumb-waiters. Rooms in the second
story have been arranged for the accommo
dation of parties. The establishment is con
veniently located and will be liberally patron
ized.
THE LITTA CONCERT.— The attendance at
the truly grand Litta Concert, at Mercur Ilall
last evening, was not inspiring to the world
renowned lyric, star or the other members of
that entirely artistic troupe. Yet the crcme
<le la creme of the musical people of Towanda
was well represented.
LITTA 'B first number not only satisfied tiie
house of her supremacy as a vocal artist, but
brought out repeated rounds of rapturous ap
plause which even her exquisite response to
the encore could scarcely subdue. In method,
delicacy of phrasing, facility and rapidity of
execution, as well as in exquisite triling and
perfect control of vocal power, her equal lias
probably never been heard in this part of the
western world.
Miss-McLAiN, the contralto, lias a noble,
full, rich, sympathetic voice, which not only
satisfies tlie taste but touches the heart.
Miss RANGS the pianist, lias a touch full of
expression, yet brilliant, accurate and power
ful and her shading is notably fin#. Her last
solo was a beautiful interpretation.
The cornet play ing of Mr. SKKLTON took
with the bouse spontaniously. Roth his num
bers were encored as well as the Miserere from
Trovatore.
Mr. CLEVELAND, tenor, lias a true and
well trained voice, which excels in the medi
um and upper registers. In the duo with
LITTA, from Favorita, he rendered his part
and filled his posttion with her worthily.
All of the numbers were justly applauded,
and most of them persistently encored—cer
tainly somewhat of a presumption from so
small a house upon artists accustomed to ap
pear before thousands.
Don't forget the Mite Society at M. C. MER.
CUR'S this evening. It is the last opportuni
ty you will have of attending these pleasant
Church gatherings for the next six weeks.
