FINE ToMATO.-We are indebted to
Messrs. $. Maupay & Co., of the Rising
Sun Nursery, Philadelphia, for paper of
seed of their superior Tomato. The fruit
represented us of a deep red color, round,
slightly flattened, and without a crease or
wrinkle. Orders filed in regular rotation
at . cents a paper, by mail or otherwise.
ge2p The FaEir of Vishnu will open his
wonderful exhibition of marvellous doings
this evening and continue for five nights.
The programme embraces variety of per-
formances calculated to puzzle the brains
of beholders, with lots of fun, and last, but
not least, distribution of some so differ
ent presents each evening. Of course
everybody will go, as since the days of
SgnOr Blitz such exhibitions have become
extremely popolar,
Among the local bills now before the
legislature, we notice the following:
An act to authorize the sale of the poor
house and farm in Miffiin county.
\ supplemental to an act authorizing and
recurring the supervisors of BrattOn town
snip to erect gates across public roads in
said township.
An act to prevent cattle from running
at large on the flat of Jacks mountain in
Memo and Union townships, in Miffiin
county.
Rouse's Theatrical Company, the larg-
est troupe we believe that ever visited here,
performed in the Town Hall last week for
six nights, the houses gradually increas-
ing until the closing evening completely
filed the hall. AS actors they delineated
different characters quite as we'll as is gen.
orally met with in theatres in the cities,
and all who attended expressed them
selves much pleased with the performan
ces. There is one feature however con-
nected with the close which we would
advise the manager to discontinue, and
that is. there is too much work left to be
done on Sunday. Public opinion will al
ways censure open violations of that day,
and as whether with or without his sane
tom he will be blamed, we are sure he
will find it to his interest throughout the
interior to see that hereafter as little as
possible is done on such days.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-We state with re-
gret that John U. Hamilton, of Newton
Hamilton, was run over and killed by a
ballast train, at that place, on Monday af-
ternoon a week. He had stepted from one
track to the other to get out OF the way OF
an approaching train, and did not observe
the ballast train approaching him on the
other track. He was struck by the latter,
terribly mangled, and instantly killed
Mr.. Hamilton was a young man about 30
years of age, held the position ofDivision
boss on the Road at the time of his death,
and leaves a wife and many friends to
mourn his untimely end.
Rs2g~ It is reported that the entire works
of the Hamilton M'CIintock Oil Compa-
ny, comprising several producing wells
and no less than seven engines, were re-
Gently sold at Sheritf7s sale for a small
debt! None of the stockholders here
were apprised of any difficulties, and un-
less every statement that was made re-
specting this company was a falsehood
this transaction is either the result OF
gross culpability on the part OF the mana
gers or a most Infamous sWindle. The
debt is said to have been less than $1,000
and the whole interest of the company
with all it's machinery, was sold for about
$1,000. Wonder whether judicial pros
ecution would not unearth some oil foxes
INSTRUCTION given by c. w. Walter

adopted makes music intelligible to ever
the youngest scholar
