lar grocery house of w. NJ. Gormley, No. 27I
Liberty street, Pittsburgh, and should find
| no difficulty in establishing an extensive
trade among his many friends here and
elsewhere. Retail dealers will find Harry
disposed to do the fair thing in all business
transactions, and for his own sake as we'll as
for the sake of the extensive house he repre-
seuts we hope to see him prosper.
Mr.. Edward Roberts announces in our
advertising columns that he has admitted
his son, George H., as q partner in the mer-
camille business, and hencefOrth the exten-
sive house of which he has heretofore been
proprietor will be presided over by E. Rob
erts & Son. George is one the m 1st exem-
plary young men in this community, and
his promotion is as deserved as it is COM
mendable. We hope that greater prosperi-
ty, if possible, viii be the result of the new
order Of things in this first class and low
priced dry goods aud grocery establishment.
j. Irwin Steel, Esq, editor of the Ashland
44drOcGte, offers himself as a candidate for
Legislative honors in Schuylkill county, sub
Ject to the decision Of the democratic nomi>
mating convention. We initiated jim"
into the mysteries of the ''art preseYvative," !"
and although we have never been in the
legislature or occupied any other position Of
official trust and profit, we see DO reason why
our whilom 'devil' should not "nIake the
landing' in such faithful and uncom mpromis-
ing democratic stronghold a. Schuylkill
county, provided OF course that the aforesaid
democracy can "behold it in those optics"
May the best man win.
Mr. Joseph J. Rggell. agent, has present
ed US with a recipe for making Van Aliens
Quarter Dime Soap. for laundry and toilet
use, aud also gave cake of the soap,
which has been tested IN our family and has
rendered great satisfaction. This soap can
be made for the fabulous sum of two and
half cents per pound, on a common cook
stove, and the ingredients can be obtained
at any ordinary grocery store without trou-
ble. The soap is very white, and is free
from anything injurious to the clothes, while
for toilet purposes it is unSurpassable. IL
is claimed that it will wash better, quicker,
AID with less injury to clothing than any
soap that has ever been manufactured. while
the cost is only about fourth the price
of the commonest washing soap. We advise
every family to expeEd 81 for family
right when the sub agent calls upon them.
TIE DISTRICT COURT OS6ANIzED.-In
persuance of the Act OF Assembly establish
ing the District Court of Cambria county,
the Court formally organized at Johns
town on Monday the 9th inst. At two
O'Clock, p. M, Hon. George Taylor. Presi-
dent Judge, and lion. George W. Easily aud
Hon. james Murray, Associate Judges. were
escorted from the Foster House, by the
members of the Johnstown aud Ebensb1rg
Bar. TO Union Hall, the place selected for
holding the sessions of the Court. The hall
as well as the gallery were den sely crowded.
Judge Taylor directed the Act Of Assembly
establishing the Court to be read, which
was done by Gen. M'Donald, the Deputy
Prothonotary. The other office vas then
administered to James Potts, Esq, the old
est member of the Bar, after which the other
members of the Bar were all sworn in as at
torneys of the Court. May. Pits then de-
livered an able and interesting address to
the Court and members of the profession.
To this address Judge Taylor made an earn
est and dignided reply, replete with sterling
good sense and with some wholesome adIno-
nitions to the gentlemen who will practice
in the Count. The Grand Jury was then
called and a lengthy charge was delivered
by Judge Taylor. The names Of the TRAY
erse Jurors were then announced, after
which the Court adj ,urned until Tuesday
at o'clock.
In addition to the members of the Bar of
this Court, all Of whom wero present, we
had the pleasure of meeting the following
gentlemep Of the legal fraternity from other
sections Of the State. Hon. Isaac Haynes.
of Somerset. Hon. Harry White, of Indiana,
II. c. Campbell, Esq, IF Jefferson county,
and Geo. ". Baker, Esq. formerly of Som
erset, but now Of Reading. As a matter Of
course there was but little business transact
ed at the first session Of the Court, and its
/ adjournment took place on WedEes lay
/ morning. Everything passed off pleasantly.
/ and the Court the Bar and the people were
! gra tilted and we'll pleased.
/ Union Hall. SO far as its capacity is con-
cerned, will answer all the purposes of the
Court. 1t has, however, one serious defect.
which was painfully apparent ard elected
general comment. 1t is impossible to hear
with even ordinary distinctness anything
that is said in the hall. This arises of course
from some fault or imperfection in the
construction of the building. What it re-
ally is we cannot say We were informed
that the proprietors of the Hall il md max
ing an effort to remedy the defect. Un-
questisnebly. for the comfort and conven-
ience Of all concerned in the business of the
Court, it ought to be remedied. and we hope
that any experiment made with that view
may prove succesStuI.
