TOW TALK,

! full Susquehanna, to ''say the least of T." so
much of them as are included within the limits of
the borough of Tunkhannoek Strange as it NAV
seem, not single passage at arms" worth report
ing, has come of. Of we mean those of
| beligerent nature. We could "tale uAfold" of
one of different kIrd. But we wont. During the
entire week we have not seen 4 single drunken per-
in the It rect This is something remarkable -
Not in the ''recoilecton OF the Oldest inhab-

| Surely the millennium is coming; or the borough
authorities going to repair the streets; or some
other equally i'm probable event is about to occur-
Town Talks occupation is nearly gone. If our
humble ministratons have been the cause of this
unusual good order, the editor insinuated last
week, we ':bundantly thankful And when we
are "called upon to CO. we will shake off dull
mortality with a consciousness Of having some few
good deeds scattere among the multiplicity of
bad ones. Yea, verify
| Daniel Wright is length ahead of any
merch mt in town. Daniel Wright has erected
lamp in front of his store that illumnes the whole
side Of the square. Daniel Wright is public ben :
efactor He is bound that his light shall shine be-
fore men, and women, too, that they can see the
way to his store and Of after once inside it
will be almost impossible to come away without
buying something; particularly for the ladies'
| For when the dear creatures once get array of
"deghtul dress patterns, and such loves Of laces"
spread out before hem it is perfectly agonizing for
them to come away without making husbands or
papa's purse strings suffer or less OF course
the idea is to attract the 'moth and butterflies of
fashion" but the cheap and liberal way OF diseasing
of his goods that he has adopted rrrcjuys all pos

widow came off at the Methodist church on Friday
night, last, which understand was attended with
| con siderable success realizing sufficient amount
to- at least keep lean-fngered starvation from the
door during the long winter months that are ap-
| proaching. In town we wot of, the young people
have adopted system of weekly meetings some
what resembling the "sociables' that were in vogue
here some years ago, the proceeds of which are de-
voted to the use of such poor and niigent persons
as are in the neighborhood. We would recommend
somewhat similar system to the young 70 ks of this
town. They could not only have a social, pleasant

which we are disposed to think largo majority of
them are not doing at the present time
| Tramp, tramp, tramp" the boys were
marching all town Frilay night, and the
soft music of their string band as it came floating
down the midnight air, was irresist IDLY charming
As we awoke from peaceful sumbers, 1t seemed,
at first, as If W" must have laid aside our earthly

and ushered into the gates of paradise by the songs
and lute' of angels. But this was too improbable
occurrance and then those lines from Lalla
Rookh,
-. "'Twas angels lutes, attuned 90 near
80 Helrs confines that th damned might hear"
obtruded themseassssiptos our mindliks AN unwei-
come guest: An idea Struck us Angels don't plav
the Flag of the Free" at least we never heard
them do so and we slipped from innocent couch,
and listened for half an hour. By which time we
we're thoroughly convnl ed of our mortality for we
we're most Frozen and have mad cold in our head
every since.
By the way, it would not be bad idea to organize
military company in this town. There is a su fl
, cient number of young here and of the right
material, to make crack company and we should
suppose that every soldier who has served With hon
or, would have Imbibed love for the 'pomp and
panoply IF glorious war;" .ssE tEsS
