The Wilkesbarre Union-Leader, one of
the most interesting and enterprising dailies

idence.
An absurd story has been going the rounds

that the switch light was all right and the
switch as it should have been, and this is cor
roborated by all evidence in the hands of the
Erie officials.— Elmira Advertiser.
And our esteemed cotemporary the Adver
tiser. was one of the first papers to give the
story credence by printing it.
HIGHLY COMPLIMENTARY TO TOWANDA
31 ANL'PAUTUHES.—3I r. C. F. DAYTON, OLLL"
enterprising harness manufacturer, has shown
lisa telegram received from Port Townsend,
U ushiuglon Territory, six hundred miles
north of San Francisco, ordering a set of his
harness. The same gentleman, Mr. I), in
forms us. lias purchased several sets from
him before. It is highly complimentary to
the character of Mr. DAYTON'S work that it
tinds a market nearly four thousand miles
away, and that customers are willing to pay
in freight nearly the cost of the harness to
get them.
CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE.—A
notice having appeared in the last Argun to
the efl'eet that the plumbing at the poor house
was done by a Mr. TATE, Commissioner
HURST makes a correction in the following
card:
The plumbing at poor house was done un
der the direction of Kdward Williams, of
Towanda, and those employed by him, and is
entirely satisfactory so far.
J. W. HURST, Commissioner.
If the plumbing at the poor house reflects
credit upon any one, Mr. WILLIAMS, who had
the contract is entitled to it, and it is hardly
fair in our eotemporary to cheat him out of it.
Mr. IIAIGH, proprietor of the Leßaysville
Woolen Mills, was greatly surprised one day
last week ai seeing the ponderous water wheel
which drives his machinery come to a stand
still. The only way lie could account for it
was a surmise that mischievous boys had
"shutdown the irate," but an examination
proved that the water was pouring upon the
wheel as usual, and the difficulty proved to he
a mammoth eel fastened by its bead in the
wheel. The " monster of the deep" was too
large to pass through, and had stopped the
motion of the wheel. The fish was removed
and work proceeded. The eel weighed six
pounds and one ounce, and Mr. 11. says suf
ficed for a good meal for his own family and
several of his neighbors.
