FANCY PAINTING.-We notice lately several
signs painted on glass for Messrs. Tuft e Delan-
cy, OF the Clement House, by Mr. Henry Keen,
of this place, which surpasses anything of that
description we have yet seen in this town. Mr..
Keen has painted number of handsome signs
for business places in this borough, but this last
surplsses all his former efforts.
Mir. PuLIP PHILIPs, the well known singer
and author of Sacred and Sabbpth School Music,
it will be borne in mind, visits this place, on
Wednesday evening, at the II. T.. Church, in the
interests of those extending him invitation. 1t
may not be known TO all, though it is to most of
our citizens, that MIR. p. is the author of much
Of the most popular Sacred and Sabbath School
Music of the day, from the choicest of which his
programme will be made up on this occasion.
D. Himclwrght for the very able report, in an
other part Of this paper, of the of the anniversary
exercises o. 2ion's Evangelical Lutheran Sunday
School, on the .5th ut. The proceedings will
be found Of highly Interesting character.
We notice that Mr. Charlie, Garin.cr, of the
Shamokin House, is mixing some fine improve
ircnts about his premises. Besides enclosing his
yard with Il neat fcncc, he has filled up the street
along his lots in good, substantial manner,
and slope walled the river bank. The lutter i'm
provemnnt belonged to the borough and was
highly necessary. Mr.. Garingor has done this
work at his own expense, aud we mast admit it
is the best JOB done along the river. If the river
bunk above the dam was protected as he has
protected il below, there would be but little re-
pairing required in the future.
WE were shown some cabbage few days ago,
grown in the lot of Mr.. Charles G6ringer, at
9Ehamokin Dam, which is the largest we have
ever seen. There are about one thousand heads
iofthe drum-heal variety, which will more than
average 10 bA. per head. Some heads taken ont
weighed from IS to 20 lbs. each. For SO large II
quantity, this lot will b. hard to beat.
KrLLED.-We regret to learn that Mr.. James
Bogar, for many years agent for the Northern
Central Railway Company, located Mt Trcvorton
Junction, this county. was accidentally killed
at Selinsgroye station, on Saturday afternoon
last. Mr. Bnclr was relieved from duty few
weeks ago, and had gone to Selnsgrove in search
Of situation on the Sunbury and Lewistown
Railroad, AMI on his return home he went to
jump Oh a freight train going south, AMI fell
under the cars the train passing over and
cutting him in two. His remains were taken to
his home at Trevorton Junction. He leaves
wife ana one child to mourn his early loss.
HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-On Thursday morning as
she l O'Clock train arrived here, stranger named
WGst 20, of, aud inquired for Drumheller's Ho-
tel. Two lpen stepped up and volunteered to
show him TO the place. While going through an
alley way they suddenly seized the stranger and
garroted him. After forcing q handkerchief in
his mouth, they succeeded in robbing him of sl4
in money, and check Of three hundred dollars.
The parties were seen soon after passing the IIo-
tel, but thus far have eyaded arrest. They were
strangers in this place, and strong suspicion
points to party who have stopped here for
week past, who are supposed to belong to gang
