INSTRUMENTAL MUsIC.-Mrs. G. A.
Barnes, (wife of Rev S. Barnes) an
experienced and successful teacher of
Piano Music, offers to give instructions
on said instrument to a small class of
young ladies, in Lewistown, of which
place she has recently become resi-
dent. She can be seen at the Metho.
dist parsonage. 1mo*
SCREAM-Ice Cream at all hours
Sundays excepted) at John NJ. Stau-
ber's Saloons on Dorcas ST., corner of
Strawberry avenue, and next door to
Col John Hamilton's residence. Sa-
looms on the I'd floor for ladies or
ladies accompanied by gentlemen only.
DRowNED-John McCann, of Mil
roy, member of the 1st Pa Cavalry,
who had been at home on furlough for
some time on account Of sickness, came
to town on Monday last for the pur-
pose of proceeding to the army, but un-
fortunately got into evil company, and
during the ght walked out Of the
tavern. and probably fell into the canal
or lock, whence he was taken by La
fayette Webb, but with life extinct
We hear him spoken of as generally
quiet and inoffensive man. He
leaves, we regret to say, a wife and
five children to mourn his sad end.
THE SANITARY FAIR-A call was
made for the ladies of town to meet
at the house of Mr. Elder on Monday
evening last, to consider the fur
nishing of articles for the Fair, and ar
rangements were made for carrying
on the work.
The scholars of the Lutheran S.
Schools we understand have entered
into combination for the purpose of
knitting and manufacturing variety
of fancy articles to be sent in the
name of the schools. This is a good
move, and we hope will be followed by
others. Thus, while the adult portion
of the townsfolk are engaged, the chill
dren will not be without their share of
the work, and we do not hesitate in
saying that with the assistance of their
teachers, the work of the scholars will
be more highly appreciated (because
coming from children) than even the
cider portion. Parents give your chill
dren the means, and help them to fur
ther the cause which alleviates the
suffering of the gallant men in the
field and hospital
Two ladies also desire the co-opera-
tion Of ten others, willing to furnish
material and work a worsted quilt for
the Fair. Apply at this Office for fur
thor information.
ITEMs.-The canal was filed on
Monday, when navigation commenced,
and on Tuesday boat loaded with
limeburners' coal, . grocery boat, and
perhaps some others arrived. 1t is to
be hoped that hereafter no such inju-
rious delay in opening it will occur, as
it would undoubtedly result in large
number of law suits for damages-
Soldiers are always welcome home,
but when they do come they ought at
least to behave with some propriety.
Three or four from the valley, on Mon
day made most shameful exhibition
of themselves, which ought to have
been promptly punished. The absurd
idea held by some persons that SOL
diers at home on furlough are not
amenable to the law for criminal acts
is very foolish, and if not checked will
yet result in some diabolical act
The daily, we might almost say hourly
violation of the law by liquor sellers,
is again awakening public attention,
and we should not be at all surprised
to hear that nine-tenths of them are
indicted at August term, with almost
the entire community arrayed against
them.-We Nave received a specimen
OF the lead ore mined at Sinking Val
ley, but see no reason to change the
opinion expressed some weeks ago.
