There are said to be a good many persons
in this place who pay a government tax as

"SOMETIMES CORRECT."—The editors of
the REVIEW do not claim to bo infallible, but
do insist that they take extraordinary pains
to be reasonably accurate in giving the local
and current news, and flatter themselves that,
considering the limited time and imperfect
facilities they enjoy, their reports are as near
ly correct as those of most other journals.—
Conscious of our honest endeavors to furnish
a reliable local paper, we felt somewhat hurt
the other evening on hearing a friend and
subscriber remark to ouc who does not take
the paper, •• The REVIEW gets things correct
sometimes Such compliments are not eu
couraging after a year and a-half of earnest,
TOWANDA, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1881.
poorly remunerated effort to establish a daily
which has come to be quite generally acknowl
edged a necessity here. We begto assure our
friend that if lie will carefully watch our col
umns and be as particular to give credit for
correct and valuable items, as he is to criticise
our failings, we feel confident lie will not
again permit himself to make such ungener
ous and damaging remarks, and that he will
be constrained to confess that " the REVIEW
is not only sometimes," but as a rule very
accurate in its statements. That it is read is
evidenced by his own criticism.
Miss LILLIAN CIIASK was not greeted with
an audience at all commensurate with her
merits last aveuing, but the fact did not in
the least detract from the very .interesting
programme and every selection was rendered
with as much animation as though the Hall
had been crowded. Miss CIIASE is a born
artist and enters thoroughly into the spirit of
her theme, forgetting self in the perfect im
personation of the characters she selects. In
many of her performances she is absolutely
without an equal, and at no distant day will
be the acknowledged Queen of her profess
ion. She lias both talent and culture and
cannot fail of winning success she so pre-em
inently merits.
You can get everything in the grocery
