Considerable amusement was caused at the
expense of several individuals Saturday after
noon who picked lip an old pocket book in fron
of EVANS & IIILDRETH'Sstore. It was appa
rently well tilled, but an examination of the
contents developed the fact that some mis
chievous fellow had stuffed it with old paper
and laid it on the crossing to " fool" somebo
dy. The supposed prize was dropped " like
a hot 1 potato," when its " true inwardness''
was discovered. Pretty soon a prominent
politician came along and his eagle eye took
in the plethoric pocket book. lie alighted
from his carriage with agility and quickly
concealing it in his buggy drove on up town
'magininghimself a lucky fellow, while HAR
RY. the author of the harmless ruse nearly
split his sides laughing even to think how
disappointed SAM would be.
THE WATER WORKS. —The impression ap
pears to be quite general that the Towanda
Water Works are a failure, but nothing is
farther from the faces. Wo recently visited
the main reservoir and were surprised to
find, instead of a swamp containing only a
limited quantity of filthy water, a large body
of clear, sweet, pure water. The reservoir
contained nearly thirty feet, and is fed by a
s ream of pure water, in which numbers of
fish disport themselves. Beside* a number
of fine springs empty into it. The banks of
the reservoir are to he raised some eight or
ten feet, and other improvements made which
will render the works satisfactory to the Bo
rough Council and our people generally. The
offensive odor of the water drawn from the
hvdaauts is caused by standing in the pipes,
and just as soon as the mains are thoroughly
cleansed the water will tie tit for domestic
purposes. The fountain is pure, all reports
to the contrary notwithstanding. The most
fastidious house-keeper need not scruple to
use the water when the pipes are put in prop
er condition.
That the Water Works will prove not only
a convenience but a necessity, we have no
doubt. We hope the investment may prove
profitable to the company, who have already
expended more than 800,000 in their construc
tion.
In conversation with Dr. PAYNE, we learn
that he has also paid a visit to the reservoir
and hisopinion in regard to the quality of the
water eorresnonds to our own.
Kil. MOUII.LESSEAUX, our enterprising Jeweller
has .just secured the agency for the John Foley
Celebrated "Rank" Gold Pens. It is generally con

good Pen to examine Ed's stock before purchasing

"Diamond Pointed Stylographic Pen"or "Ink Pen

Sergeant Mason, of Battery IE Second
Artillery, when relieving the guard at the

the cell wall. Mason was promptly ar
rested, taken to the arsenal and incarsera

The President's Condition.
♦
OFFICIAL BULLETINS.
LONG BRANCH, SEPT. 10, 1881.
8 :30 A. M.
At the examination of the President
this morning at 8 :30 the temperature was
99.4, pulse 104, respiration 18. He slept
well during the night rwakeuing only at
intervals of a half to one hour. There is
a perceptible increase of strength with
an improved condition of his digestive
apparatus. The tumefaction of the pa
rotid glaed has disappeared and the sup
puration has greatly diminished. The
wound continues to improve and presents
a more healthy appearance.

•
At the examination of tre President at
8 :.">0 this morning his temperature was
98.8; pulse, 104; respiration 19. He was
more restless and the febrile rise was
later than on the preceding night. He
continues to take sufficient nourishment
without gastric disturbance.
(J P. M.
The President lias passed a quiet day,
although his teinprature has been some
what higher and his pulse more frequent
ilian during the previous twenty-four
hours. At the evening dressing quite a
large slough of connective tissue was re
moved from the region of the parotid.
He continues to take a sufficient quantity
of nourishment and enjoys it. At the
noon examination the temperature .was
100; pulse, 110; respiration, 20. At tiie
evening dressing, temperature, 100.0;
pulse, 110; respiration, 20.
Blaine cabled Lowell as follows, last
evening: The President had increased fe
ver 1 ist night and was very restless til 5
a. m. During the day lie has been some
what better, but his pulse, temperature
and respiration have been higher for the
entire twenty-four hours than on any pre
ceding day since he reached Long Branch.
His other symptoms are not reassuring,
and his general condition gives rise to
anxiety.
The Tribune''e Long Branch special of
Saturday says: The President said to
Mrs. Garlic id last night: '-This is the
first day in which 1 have felt myself mak
ing real progress." The President yes
terday read a newspaper for a few min
utes. The President has had a swelling
over his backbone as large as an egg, but
it has now almost disappeared.
If the President's condition continues
favorable, as there is every reason to in
dicate that it will, it is understood that
the cabinet ollieers and some of his most
intimate friends will be admitted to see
him for a few moments, from time to
time, in accordance with a desire which
he expressed on Friday. Confidence in
his ultimate recovery has become so
strong that about the hotels and else
where, at Elberon, scarcely any express
ion of doubt on the subject i.s heard. The
thermometer at 9 o'clock Saturday morn
ing on the Elberon piazza registered 7(1.
The windows of the President's room
facing the ocean were closed and air al
lowed to come in on the west side beneath
the awning. Little alaA i.s caused by
the febrile rise, since it liter been of daily
appearance since the President arrived at

more than local iritatiou. There was a
lire in the sick room Saturday and the pa
tient was not uucumfortable. The raiu
kept most of the Presidential party in the
house and news direct from the sick room
was difllcult to obtain. Doctors Bliss
and Aguew said that the morning bulleein
told the whole story. It was received
with general satisfaction, and the hope
ful feeling of Friday Is fully maintained.
