Miss LOTTIE KEELER of Towanda, iu com

of Chemung.— Waverly Review.
Dr. RANDALL, the young gentleman who
has been assisting Dr. KELLY for some time
past contemplates engaging in business for
himself iu some other town, and Doctor KEL
LY has engaged another assistant, who is thus
endorsed by the Ithaca Journal :
Dr. Fowler has accepted a very fine offer to
spend three weeks in each mouth as operator
at a dental chair in an excellent office in Tow
anda, L'a. The salary is said to be one which
would tempt most men in his profession.—
The Doctor will give one week in each month
to his practice here, his office remaining in the
Uri Clark building. Engagements will he
made for him by Cal. Clark and Fred Nourse
for patients wishing to make appointments
for his dental services. The doctor will be
missed as much as he will miss his pleasant
associations here.
IMPROMPTU ORGAN CONCERT.—Mr. E. B.
SPENCER, organist of Dr. HENRY'S (Presby
terian) Church iu Philadelphia, gave a highly
interresting organ recital in our Presbyterian
Church, last evening. The sudden thunder
storm prevented the attendance of most of
those who had been hurriedly notified of this
rare entertainment. About a score, only, of
musicians and lovers of clasieal music, reach
ed the Church iu advance of the heavy rain,
and they were extremely fortunate. A treat
like this lias rarely been enjoyed in Towanda.
Accustomed to a grand Rosevelt organ, with
bellows supplied by water power and many
other modern facilities, Mr. SPENCER, never
theless brought out from this rural instru
ment a wonderful variety of absorbing ef
fects and charming combinations. During a
recess the alarm of tire and the lurid glare
thereof at the south, unfortunately ended the
concert. Mr. SPENCER is also a masterly pi
anist and a composer of popular music. He
has been in town for two days only, the guest
of Mr. C. S. FITCH. When he comes again
we hope lie may find an organ worthy of his
professional skill.
The rain fell in perfect torrents for nearly
two hours last evening.
The Ladies Baptist Missionary Society will
meet iu the church at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
Why is not the fire-escape law observed?
There are a number of buildings in town that
ought to be supplied witli them.
Messrs. DITTKICII have handed us a hen's
egg which measures 7 3-4 inches one way and
6 5-S the other and weighs four ounces. It
was purchased in a crate of eggs sent from
Ulster.
TOWANDA, PA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1881.
FIRE.—MILLER FOX'S farm barn on the
flats, near Towanda creek bridge, was struck
by lightning during the shower last evening,
and entirely consumed, with all its contents,
including a pair of horses. The building was
filled with hay and grain. No insurance.—
The loss falls very heavily on Mr. JAS. CUM
MINGS, the tenant of the farm, who loses not
only his team but the result of his whole
year's labor.
Be sure and purchase your tickets for Ni
agara 011 or before Saturday night and save
25 cts.
