The Commissioners have provided the poor
house with rocking chairs. Right.
CHARLIE Houston is a better weather
prophet than VKNNOR. lie said we would
have fair weather after the moon changed,
and we have it.
When the excellence of rice as a diet is fully
understood, its use will be more frequent and
of daily occurrence in every household. At
this season of the year especially, it may prop
erly bo classed as superior to any of the cere
als which are in such general use for the
morning and midday meals. No other food
is so easy of digestion, and at its present cost
it is cheaper than potatoes, oat meal or grain
grits of any kind.
A GOOD AMUSEMENT CENTRE.—Never
let us hear again that Alton is a " poor show
town." Mercantile Hall and City Ilall both
tilled to their full capacity last night give em
phatic denial to that oft-told tale, and proved
what the Democrat has often and always
maintained, that a really good company will
always be well patronized here while an in
ferior one will often suffer. Both hulls were
crowded. At the City Hall the New Orleans
Minstrels drew a very large audience. The
splendid band accompanying them charmed
all hearers during the day and evening and
the performance itself realized the high ex
pectations it aroused. The New Orleans
Minstrels are first-class. Their music, es
pecially the cornet playing, is supurb. Their
solos and quartettes were splendid and their
double clogs irrestible. All in all thev fur
nish an entertainment worth more than the
price charged for admission. — Alton, (111.)
Democrat.
This company will appear in Mercur Hall
Friday evening.
The Commencement Exercises.
The commencement exercises of the Sus
quehanna Collegiate Institute were held in
Mercur Hall, Thursday evening. Though
the weather was inclement enough to justitiy
people in staying at home, nevertheless a
goodly number assembled to hear the music,
the essay and the orations. The following
is the programme:
Oration, " Xenophon and the Ten Thousand.—
Mark E. Bowman.
Instrumental solo, L'Orgis Bauanale, Miss Frcd
ereca Fox.
Oration, the Catiliarlan conspiracy. Kent M.
Bull,
Quartette, Where has the Summer Fled? Misses
Stewart, Passage and Woodruff' and Messrs. Mace
and Turner.
Essay, Blues. May Codding.
Instrumental duet, Swedish Wedding March. —
Misses Stewart, Calkins, Fox and Black.
Oration, Value of Scientific, Study. 11. P. Corser.
Solo and Chorus. My bright Heather Flower.
Oration, The American Navy. W. V. Duggan.
Instrumental solo, lloiuc, Sweet dome. Miss
Anna F. Thomas,
Oration, The Gracchi. William E. Lane
Instrumental duet, Ungariche Rhopsodie, Misses
Thomas and Stewart, on two pianos.
Oration, Mathamatical studies. L. T>. Whitney.
Quartette, Where are you going to my pretty
Maid.
Oration and Valedictory, Multum ex Parvo. A.
F. Bronson.
Mr. Bowman gave a brief account of the
famous Grecian writer, Xenophon. He said
that all, like Xenophon, should fully preparo
themselves for any emergency in lite. Mr.
Bowman has a good voice and with good
drill will become on effective speaker.
Mr. Bull gave us a good rendering of the
old story of Catalius,
Miss Codding's essay was very interesting.
She depicted very clearly the misfortunes
caused by the " blues" and gave us seme ex
cellent advice.
Mr. Corser's oration was finely written. A
slight forgetfulness on his part was the only
thing tliut marred one of the finest efforts of
the evening,
Mr. Duggan is known as the winner of the
first prize in declamation at the Institute this
year. We are sorry he forgot some of his
thrilling oration,
Mr. Lane has a fine presence and he has
made marked improvement in speaking since
the prize contest.
Mr. Whitney's oration was solid fact and
was delivered with energy.
Mr. Bronson told us how our lives are, of
ten influenced by small things. He was at
ease upon the stage and did not show those
defects which some times mar his speaking.
We must not forget the music of the even
ing. Miss Freddie Fox distinguished her
self in playing " L'Orgie Bauanale."
The instrumental solo " Home, Sweet
Home," by Miss Thomas was finely rendered.
The instrumental duets merit praise for
their good execution.
This was the largest class that has been
graduated at the Institute for several years.
We are glad of this. The earnest efforts of
Prof. Quinlan should be recognized. There
is no school in the land where pupils receive
a more thorough drill in their studies than at
the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute. W.

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
HURST 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. 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 ourcotcmporary to cheat him out of it

My Dear Sir —The picture arrived this

This remedy is something new, both as to name
and composition. This is one of the wonders of the
world. This Syrup, I claim, is better and more
effective than any other ever offered to the ople of
America or any other country, and what 1 say of
this I can prove, This Syrup, like the Fills, is
harmless and safe. It contains no opium or other
narcotic poison, like the most Syrup, and is not dis
agreeable to take. Any child will take it. And it
will cure any and ail inflammations arising from
Cold. It is superior to all others in every respect
and especially for the following reasons :
Ist- it will cure Croup every time.
2d. It will cure Inflammation of the Lungs.
3d. It will cure Quinsy.
4th it will cure Whooping Cough.
sth It will cure Bronchitis.
6th It will cure Hoarseness.
7th It will cure Sore Throat.
Bth It will cure any Cold.
9th It will cure Congestion of the Lungs.
10th It will cure any Cough.
Uth It will cure Scarlet Fever.
12th. It is the best reined" that anv one can take
for Consumption, and if taken in the flrst stage I
will guarantee a cure.
13th. It is perfectly safe for all ages as there is
nothing in its composition that can harm a child.
