BURGLARY.-The house of Mrs. Wag-
ner was burglariousy entered, one night last
week, and some six or seven dollars (all the rea-
dy money about the premises) were stolen there
from. There seems to be quite business do
ing in this line, about here, just now.
New FANCY SToRE.-Messrs Shuck
Brothers Gas will be seen by reference to our ad-
vertising columns) are about to open out a
new fancy store in the splendid brick building
lately erected by them Immediately West of the
old stand of S. and w. Shuck. The new es-
tablishment is to be under the supervision of a
lady who has had long experience in the busi-
ness in the city of Philadelphia. Ourlady read
ers will doubtless find it to their advantage to
give the new fancy store an early call
IMpRovEMENTs.-Ou tasty friend, Col
in Loyer, has just given the front of his fine es
tabshment, new coat of paint, giving it quite
a bright appearance. Our neighbor across the
way, Mr.. Cessna, has also beautifed and improv-
ed his residence. The Presbyterian "Manse," :"
on East Main street, lately erected, and the
new house of Mr.. w. Shuck, on West Pitt
street, are fine structures and add very much
to the beauty of the town. Truly, eve are
a great and growing people,"
DISTINGUISHED VIsIToR.--We had the
pleasure, few days ago, of making the ac-
quaintance of DR.. Mcclellan, of Philadelphia,
brother to the great military commander who
now holds so promin ent place in the public
mind. Dr. Mcclellan was on a professional Wis
it to our place, and made many friends here
during his brief stay. The DR.. is an excellent
physician, being, doubtless, well grounded in
Constitutional remedies, as he is firm and posi-
tive Democrat.
will remember that we noticed, some three
m onths ago, the occurrence of serious acci-
dent to Hon. W. T. Daugherty, of this place,
by o fall upon the ice. 1t is to be regretted
that it has been found necessary to remove the
injuredlimb. On the 18th inst, the operation
was skillfully performed by Dr. Mcclellan, of
Philadelphia, assisted by the attending physi-
clans, Drs. Watson and Compiler, of our town.
We are glad to learn that the Judge is doing
we'll, and that his numerous friends cherish the
hope that he will speedily recover.
