Evening down 5:OO
We have not got the time of the
freights as yet but suppose we shall re-
ceive a time table for next week s issue.
Hon. John A. Proper, r. b. Cobb |
and w. II. Dunn were last week ap.
pointed conlerees to meet conierees
from the other counties Of this Sena-
torial District, to put in nomination
candidates for Members Of the Consti
tutional Convention.
Samuel Brandenburger of the firm
of Geo. w. Bovard d Co., leaves New
York tomorrow for The FGtherland,
where he will visit for few months.
Sam. agreed to drop us line telling
us all about William and the Crown
Prince. We wish him pleasant
journey and a speedy return.
We have received an invitation
to the Commencement exercises Of the
WilIamsport Dickinson Seminary,
to be held in the Academy of Music
Williamsport, on the 20th inst. We
notice the name of Miss Floreace
Dale, daughter of Judge Dale of this
place in the graduating calss. We
should be glad to be present, did time
permit.
On Sunday between 1 and .
O'Clock p. NJ. fire broke out on the
roof j. Y. Saul's house, but being
taken in time, few buckets of water
sufficed to put it out. 1t occasioned
considerable excitement, and we hope
it may put us in mind of how defense
less we really are in case fire should
break out. Measures should at once
be taken to provide the town with lad
ders &C., and we don't think a hand
engine would be out of place. Don't
let US wait for big fire to stir us up.
Decoration Day was observed in
this place by everybody. The citizens
and strangers attending court turned
out en- masse, and, led by the brass
band, marched to the cemetery. The

f sung by an extempore choir. Mr.. f..
b. Freeman, Rev. j. A. Hume and
, Rev. o. B. Clark, each in turn deliv-
cred an address, each of which was
we'll received by those present. Af-
; ter singing the doxology, the crowd
, dispersed. We would like to review
the addresses at length, but lack of
space prevents.
