WE are glad to perceive that the borough
Council of sunbury has determined to improve
the vacant ground known as Market Square.
Froul time immemorial that detected looking
spot has been an eye sore TO everybody and q
bemish to the fair face OF nature. 1t is the first
and only notable object in that ancient burg to
greet the eye of a strangers and gives tumble
down dilapidated character to the place which
none Of the natural beauties or acquired excel
lencles can dispel. The truth is, Market Square
has always been to Suubury the same sort of q
certificate of character that riInless hat and q
red nose Is to any of its style loafers. AS the
shire town of this noble old county we woud
like to entertain sentiments of reverence and
respec; for its appearance, and We shall hal
with liveliest satisfaction the good time coming,
when we can point with pardonable pride to iti
well kept park, and say, behold the beauty fol
ashes sc. Let Milton borough now look TO he

WHEAT. The wheat in this section, to the as

voahle appearance. 1t was supposed by many
farmers that the severity OF the past winter had
destroyed it to such extent, that no more than
half crop culld be reasonably anticipated.
Since, however,, the late rains have fallen, the
appearance is favorably for II fun average crop,
and many now believe that all else being equal,

ARRESTED. - On Saturday morning last, as
Market street WAS full of market people, n
young man with horse ana buggy came dash
ipg through The street at full speed, and came
near diving over several citizens. He was
promptly arrested and taken before Esquire Pur-
sci. When arrested, it was discovered that he
was deaf mute, and what Vas worse, was in a
beastly state of intoxication. Nnns in the
Squire's Office, he was intorrogated in writing
when he gave his name as Galen Mutchler,
ana residence Shamok!n. He stated that he had
hired the horse and buggy at Northumberland
aud had got liquor at several hotels in this place
While he was in the office he became unconscious
through the effects of liquor, when the Squire
ordered him to be placed in the Lookup until hc
became sober. Later in the day the horse and
buggy was reclaimed by the livery man at Nor
thumberland. On Monday morning he was re-
leased by paying costs.
1t is certainly deplorable to hear that land
lords will persist in giving liquor TO sucl
cases they should certainly be held responsible
for all damages.

SAD Aocrpskt.---A Correspondent al Crescent,
this county, writes us that on Monday last dis
tressing accident occurred on.the Northern Cont
raj Railroad, st uepburnyle, about ~ miles
above Williamspor. As a freight train was
about leaving that station several small boys got
upon one. of the cars intending to ride short
distance aud then jump of. In jumping OF a
little son Of Henry Cupp, Of Hepbnrnville, aged
about eleven years, slipped and fell under the
wheels, and had both of his legs cut off just
above the tops of his boots, and from where they
were cut Off, up to the body, they were terribly
cut and mengled, the flesh being torn off In
pieces, and leaving the bones and joints exposed.
1t was terrible sight to behold. The poor lit
tie fellow was perfectly sensible to the last mo.
ment of his life. The accident occurred about
4 o'clock, p. M, and he lived until So p. M,
when death relieved him of his sufierings.-

EyERYTHISG is becoming ''Dolly Vardenish.'

"Dolly Warden" dress. 1t is an over dress near
ly similar 10 q polonaise; it is used n house
dress and Is becoming very fashionable. Dolly
Warden is a character in Dickens novel of Bar
hahy Rudge. She was a locksmitA's daughter, Il
lively coquete, and the garment now named
after her is Il revival of the style worn in Eng
land at the period the story Is laid. Whether
the fortunate young lady after whom the fash.
ionable dress of this summer is named was given
to wearing materials of a startling loud color
and pattern is not stated. Sometime ago, how
ever, an inspired modiste rechristened what was
known as ''cretonnes," )" and called them s'Dolly
Nnrden,' The nHuIc fret eoufnad to chintzcs

costumes, whose like was never seen on sea or

Hook AND LADDER COMPANY WANTED
During the fire on Wednesday evening of last
week, 1t was clearly demonstrated that good
Hook and Ladder Company is highly necessary
for the protection OF property Ia this town. The
stable of Mr.. Clement might have been saved by
the use Of hooks and ladders. Nearly every Ore
that has occurred, the want of 1t has been felt
nor will our fire department be complete wthou,
it. Since the 9re Hook and Ladder company
has been agitatedy eaa we learn that the Good
Intent Fire Company is willing to procure the
necessary apparatus and machinery at their own
expense provided the Borough Council will put
up building on their lot to place 1t In, as they
feel themselves unable to put up house. As
such company would be great auxiliary to
the Steam Fire Engine Company, we suggest that
an arrangement be affected by the Council and
the Good Intent Fire Company to put up a build
Ing at once. 1t is evident too, that the Steam
Engine Company Is compelled to have larger
building, and as they have not the ground to en-
large, we believe that an arrangement could be
made to exchange for the lot Of the Good Intent
Company, and the present engine house could be
used for a Hook and Ladder Company Our
nremen ought to be provided with horses TO draw
the heavy steam engine TO the place Of confagra-
tion, which viii require the company to have a
stable, for which the lot of the Good Intent Com
pany is sufficiently large to erect IL on, aud also
u tower for fire bell. We hope to see our
present progressive Council give the matter
their attention and make arrangements for a
Hook and Ladder Company. The sooner this is
affected the better for the citizens. .a .au

Everybody said Belle Gray wal
heartless.
She Was twenty years old. and
beautiful beyond description. The
hearts ofat least . dozen suitors bad
beed laid OF her feet, and she hat
reno orselsssly crushed them oil.
And now George Winter was In bel
tolls. He had fallen hopelsssly in love
with Belle Gray-as every one ooult
see-ooquettc and ell Is she was
and nearly everybody pisied him
while . few Of the Aintier ones sait
be was fool.
For six months be had paid his ad
dresses to the beauty, and had thu'
far been received with marks of favor.
But had she not encouraged other
before him in the same way |!
Had she not, like the ignus .tatus
led thsm-in pursuit o! the trsachsr'
Gus flame, her heart-led them, a the
tradition says, TO destruction, in the
dismal slough OF despair!
Not that those dozen hearts had sx'
aotly broken, either j. nor that those
dozen lives had been quite blightsd,
for they had all recovered the shock.
and after season of melancholy,
some had actually married--a thing
which, in tho 6rst bitterness Of disap
pointment, they had solsmnly vowed
mover to do.
But George Winter had faith IL
Belle Gray. He loved her, and al
the world could never have por
suaded him that she designed t
cast him away--thst she was triaing
with bis affections, with the deliber
ate Intention Of crushing bis hear
whsn II should be once helplessly 10
her power.
George had . pretty cousin: named
Nellie Winter. aud she was like . sis
| tor 10 him. One summer avesiag she
ventured 10 tell him what tho tall
was among the circle Of young folk
With whom they associated tsd-uamely,
that be was sooa to be added 70 th'
long list Of Belle Grsys's victims.
"Oh." said George. "it is only tn
talk Of those who were less fortunate
than myself"
"But y may NOT b, George" paid
