admissions Of the ability with which the
Secretary Of War has conducted bis Depart

North, arrives at LAS A. M. Moving South

usual. ... D.'...
This schedule works badly for the conuec.
tions with the Lackawsnra & Bloomsbury

learn that the Lackawanna train now leaves
Scranton several hours later in the morning,
arriving at Northumberland at ll.30 A. M.

lied in the year 1859, and now contains thirty
or forty intelligent members. Great benefits
have resulted from society in the diffusion Of
knowledge. Our prospects of doing good are
indeed flattering 1t is customary at each meeting
of our society TO select subject for conside.
ration at next meeting and, when the question
seems more favorable to that course, to name
four members to lead discussion, in which all
participate. Much information is thus derived,
and general interest excited, which cannot fail
to produce good results. Meetings are held once
a week, when essays are perused, orations de-
livered and above mentioned subjects discussed.
Our society has not existed sufficiently long to
have accomplished much. 1t is considered.
however, that great benefits will result to this
portion of Jackson from the improved and still
improving condition Of this society. We regret
that we had to part with some of our intelligent
members, who have been called away in their
country's service but rejoice that they were ready
to respond to the call, and are now engaged in
helping to crush this wicked rebellion. Our
society still continued, ard large field is here
open for young men to become competent
speakers; such as have participated, have made
progress. and in future they may be an honor't to
