4 NclC and Brilliant LigTt-D. Grove,
at his Variety Store, has just received a
Burning Fluid which in several respects
makes a light superior to coal oil, does not
smoke, cannot be exploded, has no feel
ing Of grease, and only costs so cents per
gallon. He also has the tops, made to fit
the dif1erentsizes of coal oil lamps, so that
they can be altered to burn this fluid at a
trihing expense We have been using
one of these lamps in the office, and can
bear testimony to the excellent light this
new fluid makes.
THE CONTINENTAL VOCALIsTS-th
genuine company of this name-compris-
ing Messrs. Smith, Rogers, Hudson and
Watson, will give concert in the Town
Hall on Wednesday evening next, 2lst
November. The old veteran balladistand
composer, Bernard Covert, accompanies
them and will sing some of his most pop
ular ballads. This company is so well
known to our citizens, and has been so
often appreciated by large and pleased au
diences, that it is unnecessary to do more
than make the announcement of their
appearance.
PIKE.-This game fish for hook and
line is becoming quite scarce in many OF
the tributaries of the Juniata, and in some
has almost disappeared. We have made
several trips this fall, and although catch
ing but few, they were all of good size,
averaging IS inches. On Thursday last
we caught two, one 10, and the other a
yellow pike 22I inches long, and weigh
ing , pounds 7 ounces cleaned. This is
the best fish we have caught this year.
Rsa. Beyond doubt our friend Pratt is
all cnterprising man. He has gone to
Philadelphia again, to look up bargains !;
we take pleasure in recommending his
store to our country friends, for freshness
and variety Of goods, and assure them sat
isfaction in their purchases both as to
price and quality. Read column headed
