Get your couches, sofas, easy chairs—every thing in the upholstery line repaired at Ottarson's, Bridge street. PAAS. — To-morrow is Easter, commonly called in this country, Paas. The custom which has prevailed from time immemorial of feasting on eggs on Easter day is still maintained, and the demand for eggs will be large to-day. An exchange says: "The latest novelty for home and party amusement are egg sociables. The eggs for decorating are previously "blown" by piercing each end with a bodkin. After the contents have thus been extracted, they are thoroughly washed, and are then ready for the painter or artist's hand. Young ladies can also make very pretty orna ments, if they will see that the eggs used by the family are broken only at one end. The edges of the hole are then cut neatly off with a pair of sharp scissors, and little bits of satin or silk glued around the edge, and gathered at the top with a cord and tassels. These can be used for holding gloves, boubous, tiny bouquets, little dolls and such trifles, and at public sociables may be sold. The fun comes in when the egg bags are opened and the con tents shown. The Blossburg Industrial llegister gives an account of an outrage committed in that place, almost too revolting for publication, the victim being a resident of this county: On Monday night that low groggery kept by one Dave Mitchell, was the scene of an alleged rape. This Mitchell, it seems, is con tinually breaking the law, selling liquor with out license and to minors; keeping the vilest den that ever disgraced Blossburg; women are continually insulted when passing this place and it is a pity and disgrace that such a bole is allowed to go unmolested. His place is in prison. If these two men are guilty, why not the keeper of this vile den, for al lowing such a thing in his house? The facts in the case as sworn to are these: The husband of the plaintiff, Thomas by uiamo. goes about varnishing furniture, and on Monday got beastly drunk and went to Mitchell's where he made some disturbance. Mitchell sent for Mr. Thomas's wife to come and take him home; she went there and found him too drunk to walk, and she, with help of another woman, got her husband up stairs, where she swears the defendant Patrick Mooney, assisted by Edward Blake, both from Morris Run, committed a rape on her person. Mooney was held at SI,OOO bail for court, and Blake at S3OO, for assault and battery with attempt to commit rape. The plaintiff, Mrs. Thomas, is a modest appearing woman, giv ing her testimony with great reluctance. She does not sepui overly bright, and is a bashful country woman. She resides near Alba. The case certainly IOOKS bad for the boys at pres ent. Mooney heard the evidence without flinching, but Blake was very nervous, seem ing to consider his position keenly. These two men previous to this always bore a good reputation and are very respectably connect ed. We can see no reason for not prosecuting Mitchell as accessorry to the crime. Since the above was put in type we learn that Blake has lied for parts unknown.
