Valentines. - Attention is called to the adver-
,,..ment of Valentines by Underhill Campbell,
wholesale and retail dealers in Books, Stationery
Wallpaper &c, at Scranton. This being leap-year,
custom allows, rather encourages the wearers Of
water falls and crinone to tie love- -knts with which
TO entange the Opposition in the matrimonial har
n,u-never more to kick out Of the traces. And as
they are both modest and sy-rather on the 'Rarey"
plan IN their operations, there will no doubt be q
great demand for those suggestive, tender, and an
onymous missives, yclept, "Valentinss." The place
for Dealers and individuals to Ike their purchases
is at Uuderhill L Campoelrs, No ll6, Penn, Ave
nue., Scranton.
The Pa. N. Y. Canal & r. r. Co. are negotia-
ting for the purchase of ands north east othe Boro
Of Wilkes Barre for their machine shops. As these
shops are intended to be very extensive and COM
vlete they will be very important addition to our
now rapidly growing county town. This company
will be recognised as the defunct Old North Branch
Canal Company, nto which life has been infused
through the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, who
purchased controlling interest sometime since and
are now energetically pushing this road through to
the State line at Waverly y.-ScrGnton Republican.
The World Almanac.--We have received @
copy Of the " Y. World ALMANAC fer the year
1861 The political and statistical information con-
tanned therein is invaluable. As book of reference
upon all subjects of political nature it is unsur
passed, and should be in the hands of every person
who desires to inform himself upon the great ques-
tions which agitate the public mind 1t contains
oil the reconstruction acts of Congress--up to the
present time with the Veto Messages Of the Presi-
dent the returns of the several State Elections by
counties for 1867 and previous years and other very
valuable information which we have not time now
to mention.
NICHOLSON, Pa. Jan %, '69.
MR. EDIroR:
As your columns open for COM
municatious, concluded n comm unication from
fourshing village would not be amiss.
Some two weeks ago you pub Ishcd letter from
here signed "B" and as it has not been replied too
oaly from the pulpit, at Starks Church, BY
State Lecturer, Rev Davidson, in which he branded
.B'' as a liar, scouudrel, &c.,-knowng that be
could not be answered, it was his meeting and on
O Sabbath evening, in a ho1se dedicated TO God
1t sounded sweet 20 hear the Rev, "GcutemRn" use
such epithets Our Lodge has it under considera-
tion to vote him a leather medal-that the good
people of the State may know that he is no hypo-
critic but a Christian minister Of the frst water
We may have some trouble passing the resolution
through the Lodge, as ''our Minister and brother
n wants B. wiped out, and our Worthy Chief
not being competent to reply to "B's' commmunica-
tion, may take string gro und against it. Be that
as it may-"B' must be careful hereafter when be
writes, or "Our Minister will use his pulpit to vim
dicate his character and expose "B" to his whole
congres alton.
Now that Court week is over, and the dead and
woun led are picked up-our Lodge is at loss to
know V ho came out victorious-the Templlrs or
"Whiskytes"
"Capts" countcnancs looks like the small end Of
gimJlet and he is as pettish q snsed cat. Last
night with pencil and psper,he commenced figuring,
said Capt" said L what on earth are you fig :
urug about" Said Capt" said he, 81 am footing
up expenses, l want to see how much it has cost me
to enforce our foundlng,' the prohibitory Law in
this county against Billings" This account rs sta
ted showed the following astounding result
DR.
To August Court expenses, BIS, so
q lays this term, two horses and sleigh
at 500 per day, lOs,OO
Services per self at so per day, ,2l days 8 so
Expenses Court, $50 per day, days, 27,50
IncidentaIs, C'Benzine," 4c.,) 1874
Total sag, SIT
By verdict "not guilty" but Billings to pay costs
of Prosecution, S67,3lt
Balance in favor of Billings 222, SGT
Now says the Capt" says he, "the best thing rs
Temple rs can do is to get the law repealed it will
ran every one OF u.s. for it s q dead letter on the
statute books and cannot be enforced" Says l,
Cart" says l, 'just you present your bill to the
Lodge and make them pay IT." Says he, There
is one dollar in the Treasury" Says I, "if it
had not been for Bill, the bridge builder and old
&C. the shoemaker, we would have raised the price
Of initiation and monthly dues and had money in
the Treasury. They - talk about our charter not
allowing our dues to be raised and poor girls not
being able to pay increased price, why its ridic
ulous. AMI the first chance get to throw them
out of the Lodge we will do Is
We must get rid Of all II ash and purify the Lodge
anl unless We DO oNe will not be respectable and
then if only get 'T's' Goldfish to brand all
left in the Lodge, We will be 'aristocTatic Anc the
old Squire may fight Lord-On his own hook and to
his hearts content for he has Gold Mine and is
al Ie to foot the bill.
Yours
