model magazine for an entire year.
THE PRooF SHEET is handsomely prnt~
ed and ably conducted little pamphlet issued
each month from the extensive type fUundl y
of Messrs Collins & McLeester, PhIladel pha.
and they certainly have no. reason to be
ashamed of its Typography the beautiful

II. Mundy. poetic and prose writer of en-
inent ability. is its editor. and our young
friend L. N. Meyer is his assistant. The

JoHNsTowN DIRECThRY.-W We acknowl-
edge the receipt of a copy of Mr.. George I.
Swank's General and Business Directory
of ,Johnstown and Suburbs - but as yet have
only had time to admire its typographical
excellence and general arrangement. 1t is
certainly a credit to the mechani al skill and
business enterprise of Mr.. Swank, and at the
low price of fifty cents per copy it should
meet with an extensive sale. We may have
more to say about it when time permits an
examination of its contents
ToHsoRIAL is perhaps superfluous to
recommend any man to whose business or
occupation there is no competition still we
feel that our barber friend, Abram Blaine.
who by industry. energy and exemplary con-
duct has won the respect Of all classes. is not
unworthy Of few words OF encouragement.
Mr.. Blaine is an experienced barber, as all
persons know who know him at all. and un-
der his hands his customers are always sure
to obtain clean shave, a neat hair trim
ming, or an invigorating shampooing. HIS
young assistant. too, is careful and prof
cient knight of the razor" and between the
two there is no doubt of being attended to
promptly and satisfactorily at all times
Mr.. Blaine deserves well Of our citizens, aud
we hope to see him patronized even more
literally in the future than he has been in
the past.
