CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE.— A
notice having appeared in the last Argus to
the effect that the plumbing at the poor house
was done by a Mr. TATE, Commissioner
IIURST makes a correction in the following
card:
The"plumbing at poor house was done un
der the direction of Edward Williams, of
Towanda, and those employed by him, and is
entirely satisfactory so far.
J. W. llUßST, 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 cotemporary to cheat him out of it.
Our popular artist, G. If. WOOD, is gaining

Mr. GEO. 11. WOOD :
My Dear Sir —The picture arrived this
morning, and was paid for and taken in less
than two seconds after it was opened. It is
without doubt the finest picture of any kind
in town; in fact, the finest 1 ever saw at any
price.
I cannot compliment you sufficiently for
your talent, and assure you that you will
never regret the labor bestowed 011 this piece
of work; it will be productive of other simi
lar work from this section and to no small
amount. I have no doubt that by putting it
011 exhibition in window I could secure you
hundreds of dollars worth of work. I have
compared it with former one of same subject
made by you at sls I think, and this is very
much finer.
My wife, who is a daughter of the subject,
is perfectly carried away; you may consider
her under obligations to you. Again thank
ing you, I remain, Yours, &e.
A. C. WOODRUFF.
