smells like pure whisky, and has the same
intoxicating effect Will the whisky thus
obtained pay tax to the Government, or
will it be controlled by the whisky ring ?

STRAWBERRY FEsTIvAL.-Of course no
one of our readers who wishes to fully en-
Joy himself will be absent from the straw
berry festival of the Congregational
Church to might. They have way of do
ing things there that makes one feel atl
home, and of producing on the dullest
mind the impression that festival of the
Congregational Church is a good thing to
attend.
TRINITY CHURcH.-The handsome gothic
edifice, erected by the congregation of
Trinity, corner of Third and Broad street, |
is fast approaching completion. When

church edifices in the city, If not in the

terror has been let to Messrs. Gulick &
Nagle, gentlemen of high reputation in
their business. Their names are guar

up this Sunday skirmishing.
AGooD IDEA.-In order to accommodate
those who may wish to visit the circus to-
day, or tonight, arrangements have been
made with the Street Railroad Company to

In waiting at the corner of Rich and High
street for the accommodation of those who
may live st a distance from the circus

formance. lI
GONE BACK HoME.-On Wednesday, Eliz-
abeth Matchem stepped from the massive
