Lawyer GRIDLEY found a demented old la dy sitting on the steps of the East Towanda depot last evening, and as she seemed unable to give any account of herself brought her over to town, where she attracted a good deal of attention by her s f range appearance. An examination of papers in her satchel dis closed the fact that her name was NICHOLAS and that she was en route from the west to Phillipsburg, N. J. She had letters stating that her son was a locomotive engineer, and commending her to the care of train men.— Mine host KELI.OGG kindly took charge of her and put her on train 15 last night. The old lady said she had a son living across the river from Easton. A SUGGESTION' OF OUR OWN.— We are not in anyway connected with the festival to be given this evening—but wish it abundant suc cess; neither do we anticipate attending the minstrel performance in Mercur Hall, but there are those who, believing that A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men, will be there: Now, therefore, this is our sug gestion, if you have determined to go the min strel show, start early and drop into the fes tival first, (the ladies will be glad to see you), or call on your way home and provide your self with a good treat to strawberries and ice cream. No one wiil suspect you have been to the show. The Festival will open at five o'clock. Don't fail to go to JOHN SULLIVAN'S, on Bridge street, for the best five cent cegar. Owing to the fact that a small admission fee will be charged at the Baptist festival, the committee having charge of the arrange ments, say a reduction will be made in the price of refreshments. When you're down town drop in and try a dish of the celebrated ice cream at Titus' con fectionery store. It can't be beat. They al so have elegant Floridaorahges, lemons, pine apples and bananas constantly on hand. Give them a call.
