Saturday. His score was 43 out of a possible
50.
During the temporary illness of MAURICE
CONDON, the veteran baggage master at the

acceptably filling the responsible duties of his
office.
The Reverend C. H. WRIGHT lectured be
fore the Kuights of Honor in Monroeton last
night, and PERRY VANFLEKT conducted the
revival meeting in North Towanda, which
continues with unabated interest.
Old Santa Claus appears to haye an abun
dance of babies this season. The latest fam
ily to be made happy by the receipt of one of
these invaluable Christmas presents, is that
of Mr. R. H. PATCH, and it's a girl.
Our sanctum was invaded twice yesterday.
The first time a eood lady whose "rich
brogue" would have delighted Gen. SCOTT,
bearing a plump, neatly dressed turkey, aud
it isn't the first bird of the kind which we
have received from the same source. Before
we had time to put the gobbler out of sight a
a messenger from WM. SNYDKR, Esq., of
Sheshequin was annonnced with a basket of
eels. The 'Squire says he didn't get sight of
a deer in Sullivan county, but always keeps a
supply of fish where he can put his hands
upon them, and that he considers an eel the
finest fish of the Susquehanna—quite equal
to the choicest cut of venisou.
May our thoughtful and generous friends
have a " merry Christmas." and as good a
dinner as they have fusnished us.
The first sand was struck in the Wyoming
county oil well, last week, at a depth of about
seyen hundred feet. The indications for oil
are stronger than ever, and the stockholders
are happy pro tem.
Otis Hathaway, Esq., 13 Rock street. Fall
River, Mass., had a very had attack of rbeu
metism, which racked him sorely. Finally
he could scarcely move. St. Jacobs Oil was
tried, and proved to be the only remedy that
did him any good. Two weeks' use of it ren
dered him as chipper and as active as ever.
Monday forenoon, while engaged in sawing
bed slats, M BARNHART. an employee at
HOULENBACK A DULLS mill, at Wilmot Cen
tre. this county, had his lower jaw broken by
a piece of board thrown from the saw. The
injurv is a serious one and will incapacitate
him for work for some time to come. Drs.
BARTLETT ami QUICK were called and ad
justed the fracture.
The election for Fire Department officers
on Monday evening passed off very harmoni
ously. The caucus nominees were elected
without opposition. The new Chief, Mr. A.
D. Cooi.itAUGtt is an experienced fireman,
having run with the "machine" from early
boyhood, as a member of the Naiad Co., and
will eftb iently discharge the dutiesof his office.
D. M. Wit.fOCK and F. L. GiUNNKi.r. are
among the most active members of our ex
ceptionally well-drilled, efficient department,
and will prove valuable assistants to the
new Chief.
