The literary exercises of Oscaluw i Grange

AMUSEMENTS.—MERCER IIALL. WEDNES
DAY, APRIL Oth.—On Wednesday evening
next the amusement loving public of
Towanda will have an opportunity of wit
nesting the performance given by what is
said to be the best,(without any exception)
variety combination in existence. The agent,
Mr. P.D. Lanman, stated that owing to their
having an open week between Buffalo and
Philadelphia they were enabled to put in a
night at Towanda, though not in the habit of
plying small towns. The company at they
will appear here will comprise every person
billed with the addition of the greatest living
Contortionist. Young Ajax. The manage
ment assures the entire absence of anything
broardness or vulgarity, in short guarentee
an evening of refined amusement. Popular
prices will be observed. Admission 50 and
35 cts. Diagram at liirby's.
PRACTICAL SYMPATHY.— When Mr. CHAS.
JOHNSON of the foundry returned from din
ner yesterday he informed his partner and
employes that Mrs. KING, a worthy but poor
widow ladv living near liim was in trouble;
her sister Miss CALIKF was lying dead in the
house, haviug died on Thursday, after a long
illness, her son very sick and requiring con
stant attention, and to add to her affliction an
unsympathizing landlady a few days since
levied 011 her household goods for the rent
she had been unable to pay during the pro
tracted sickness in the family. A purse of
50 was promptiv and cheerfully contrib
uted by the men in the establishment, and
presented to the lady.
In this connection we cannot forbear men
tioning an incident. When the goods were
attached for rent, Mr. IKA MORI.KY hearing
of the proceeding went to the officer and vol
unteered to become responsible for the sum
and thus saved Mrs. KING much annoyance,
and relieved her from a grievous burden. —

these investments will pay large dividends.

sweet and blossom in the grave."
