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.
