The Exhibition adverted to by US last week
came off as advertised, on Tuesday evening, to a
crowded house. Though there evident want
of pre-arrsngement, which made the delays rather
tedious the hole thing passed off satisfactorily

ing and acting, The costumes Of the Ladies were
most elegant if not gorgeous, and excited much ad-
miratio
Sersnade.--Since moving, some weeks since, we
have been considerably demorslized and scatter
ed" We didn't suppose anybody knew where We
lved-indeed 1re not entirely certain whether
we lived where we do live not. until night or
two since serenads by several young ladies and
gentlemen satisfied that distinguished inti-
vidual dwelt under our roof. We may be excused
for supposing that we're the parsonage The sing
ing-it was a sing g-serenade-was very fine. We
hope the parties will call when better
prepared, in the matter of dress to receive company
N.B. If this distinguished mark Of respect
ineRued for Mr.. Shaw, our predecessor who liz es
some distance away, didn't hear it if for our
goo looking printer boys, We heard it but faiAly.
Lehigh Valley II. R,--We have been inform
by the Messrs Lees contractors for building a rail-
road bridge at Falls in this county that they have
received orders from the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company finish the construction Of said bridge as
spon as practicable. This looks very much like hav-
ing railroad at Tunkhannock by the 4th Of July
next, when the iron horse will be snuffng and snort
ing through the mountain gorges Of the beautiful
SEsquehanaa."

A faint idea Of the trials Of county editor may
be gathered from the following, which clip from
an exchange: A country editor is individual
who reads newspapers reads proofs folds mails pa
pers prints jobs, runs erranls, wood, works in
the garden, talks to all who call rec ives blame for
hundred things which fault of his own,
works from 6 a IN to 10 p. NJ, aad frequently gets

Coal Trade.--RairOad communication will soon
be opened between this coal field and Albany by the
completion Of the Albany Susquehanus road TO
Binghamton. The Legislature Of New York at its
recent session made further appropriation Of one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars towards it,
and 1t is expected to be finished the coming summer
This will give a continuous rail to Boston.
The great event in the trade is the union of the
Hazeton coal interests with the Lehgh Valley Rail-
road just consummated. 1t is not purchase or
sale for cash, but we understand an exchange oi
stock as was mad. between the Wikes-Barre Coal
nies assuring the coal tonnage TO tho road. The
Ma Ayigation Company will lose large trade there
but the increase from this region will be large
