The subject announced is "Character." The Gazette & Bulletin says: ROBERT INNIS, the famous tanner, of Hodinesville, was in Williamsport Friday, and while there he purchased three valuable hides, one of them being that of an elephant and the other two from Bengal tigers. He expressed it as his opinion that the elephant hide would furnish leather enough to make a pair of boots for the owner of the tannery. While making this remark his eyes measured with much care the size of his feet. Mr. INNIS is a son of ADAM INXIS, the en terprising proprietor of Scotia tannery in Granville, and President of the First National Bank of Canton.

The attendance at the Old Folks' Concert last evening was good—quite a number from out of town being present. To those acquaint ed with the superior musical talent of Tow anda, it is unnecessary to say, the perform ance was all that any one in the large audi ence could have anticipated or desired in the musical line. Now that the "heated term" has set in and frequent ablutions will be indulged in, people must remember that bathine is proliibiteu inside the borough in the river in the daytime. We think it would be a good plan for the borough authorities to erect one or two free bath houses on the river bank, and a public fountain in the Park. This might avoid the necessity of enlarging the lock-up and would be less expensive. A tramp, evidently a stranger in those parts entered the house of JOHN B. SMITH, in North Towauda lately, and appropriated to his own use a pair of boots and other articles. The local "knights of the road" have given that neighborhood a wide berth ever since the memorable night when the "Worthy Master," with stentorian voice and menacing gesture commanded a band of them to "get right out" of his barn, and it was exceedingly lucky for the thief in question that he visited the father's instead of the son's house. AN IMPORTANT SUIT.—The case of POM EROY Bros. vs. J. S. and S. D. MADDEN. which closed yesterday, was closely contested by the able counsel on either side. When the Eureka Mower Co. was organized in this place in 1873, O. D. BARTLETT sold the cor poration his foundry and machine shop. The MADDENS, desiring to control a large amount of the stock, gave Mr. BARTLETT their note for SIO,OOO, to be paid some time in the fu ture, and subscribed for that amount of ad ditional stock. The Eureka Company did not prove a financial success, and the note remained unpaid. In settling up the affairs of the bankrupt concern this note fell into the hands of Messrs. POMEROY, but the makers refused to pay, alleging that Mr. BARTLETT agreed that payment should not be demanded until the Eureka stock became dividend-pay ing. and that he would then surender the note and take stock if they desired him so to do. This was denied on the part of the plaintiff, Mr. BARTLETT testifying that he never made such an agreement, while the MADDENS swore positively that he did. The case was sent to the jury yesterday morning, and after a short deliberation they rendered a verdict for the plaintiff, for the amount of the note with interest.
