The Baptist ladies missionary society will
meet at 0 o'clock this afternoon in the church.
On account of the absence of the pastor,
service will he omitted both morning and ev
ening at the Church of the Messiah to-mor
row. Sunday School as usual.
Rev. C. 11. WRIGHT will deliver the bacal
aurate sermon before the students of the Col
legiate Institute, in the Presbyterian Church
at 7:30 o'clock on Sunday evening. Services
at all the other protestant Churches will be
omitted.
Lovers of Clam chowder will be afforded
another opportunity of indulging their appe
tites at Turn's restaurant this evening, as he
has issued invitations to the public to call
there and partake free of charge. Like eve
rything else set before his guests Mr. TIDD'S
chowder is excellent.
The programme for the parade and dedica
tory services of the Odd Fellows Temple in
Elmira on the 16th inst., has been arranged,
and the demonstration promises to be one of
the largest ever made by the order in South
ern New York. The procession will include
encampments and lodges from Southern and
Central New York and Northern Pennsylva
nia. The procession will be headed by a
company of Patriarchs and several bands of
music. The evening exercises will consist of
the ceremonies of the order, closing with a
grand ball.
A FORMER TOWANDA LAD INJURED.—We
find the following in the Elmira Free Press
of Wednesday evening:
Walter Scott Stoll, the youngest son of Geo.
C.Stoll, was run over this morning by a team
drawing a load of straw, lie with a number
of other children was playing in the street
near his home when the accident happened.
It does not seem possible that the driver of
the team saw him. Dr. J. E. Weaver was
summoned and upon examining the lad dis
covered that his collar hone was broken, sev
eral ribs fractured and such severe internal
injuries sustained that it is very doubtful that
tlie child lives. It is astonishing that he was
not killed instantly, as both the forward and
hind wheels of the wagon passed over his body.
BICYCLING.—Messrs. E. G. MERCUR.G.
R. WRIGHT, E. AY. STURDEVANT and J. G.
CARPENTER, members of the AVilkes-Barre
Bicycle Club, spent Decoration Day in Hazle
ton and delighted the people with an exhi
bition of riding their new and elegant bicycles
up and down Broad street, and taking a run
around the race course at the Park during
the afternoon. These gentlemen state that
roads between Ilazleton and Ilarleigh and on
the south side between Audenried and Jeans
ville are in excellent condition for bicycling.
They made the trip to Audenried fr.om (lie
Central Hotel in forty-five minutes, and dis
mounted but once when going up the hill in
Jeanesvillc, and returned in the same time.
Mr. STURDEVANT rode out to the Mountain
House, overlooking Butler Valley, and was
gone but a short time. Remarkable speed
can be made on these bicycles, which are of
the most improved style, and range in price
from §BO to §IOO. AVhen going down grade
they are regulated by a brake, and the rider
can. if he chooses, take his feet from the
treadle cranks and allow the bicycle to go
down a hill at any desired rate of speed. The
AVi Ikes-Bar re club consist of nine members,
who all belong to the National Bicycle League,
which already numbers about 1,800 members,
and their visit lias been the means of causing
a movement here, which will probably give
Ilazleton a bicycle club in the near future.—
