/ OK many occasions Of public receptions, the
/ committee appointed to receive our visiting
guests, prove entirely deficient. Never was there
an instance in which so great lack of efficiency
was displayed as on ;hc late occasion Of the
meeting in our town Of the Knights of Pythias
| As many complaints, in regard to this, came di-
rect to US, and as we had previously pointed ont
some of the duties which the committee owed the
visitors and the town, we cannot refrain from
censuring those to whom great neglect CT duty
as a committee Of reception belongs. Weare re-
liably informed that the committee paid scarcely
any attention 10 their guests after their arrya
There were number who called upon US before
their departure, and expressed their regret that
no one volunteered among the brotherhood TO
conduct them TO such places of interest as they
had learned during their sojourn here, existed in
the vicinity of our place. In our issue previous
to the meeting We pointed out number OF places
which would have been highly interesting TO the
more intellectual portion of the rotberhood who
expressed their regret and surprise, and stated
that had there been more attention given them
there would have been much more money left in
the place. Those attending this grand body
came from all parts of the State, and our scene
~ and places of historic interest wonh have
made an impression which would have been re-
iected in every part of the old Commonwealth.
We hope that in future should occasion occur,
societies will take the precaution to appoint
members on committees who will better under
stand their duty. Although we are happy to
learn that the representatives were generally
well pleased with the reception on the part of
our citizens, more attention on the part of the
resident brothers added to that Of our people,
would have left an impression that would have
rendered the name of Sunbury 4 thing of pleas
ing remembrance.

THE Union Park and Agricultural Association
of Sunbury, promises TO be of more than ordina-
~ interest this fall. The officers, we believe, are
using every effort to make it a success, and sat
isfactory to all parties. We do not propose to
obtrude our advice, bat We would respectfully
suggest that names of competent persons be sent
Immediately TO the officers from different dis
tricts to act Judges. To place man as chair
man of a committee on machinery, who don t
know the difference between cider mill and a
threshing machine, or who can't distinguish
sweetened blackberry juice from grape vine, is a
burlesque and a wrong to exhibitors. We know
there is some difficulty in making proper selec-
tions, and mistakes cannot always be avoided.

some lawyers take two fees, one from their
clients and another from t'other side-at least
its so reported.-DGily.
II is also reported that some lawyers, as soon
as judgment is obtained before a Justice Of the
Peace, take a transcript and enter it up in the
Prothouotary's Office, and issue on it so they can
charge another fee in addition TO the above. One
case, we are Informed, the Indebtedness was 50
80, and the costs amounted to about seventeen
dollars. This is not very creditsble TO the pro-
fcssion, and looks as though some lawyers were
pretty hard up, OF very dishonorable. It is sim
ply distressing to poor laboringman by rob5ing
him of his hard earnings.

Mr.. H. A. Schwartz of this place, is
the agent for "our FiresIde Friend" one
of the most popular literary papers of
the day. Every subscriber to the pa
per gets one or more beautiful chromos
The premium chromos we have seen,
and have no hesitation in pronouncing
them charming, and of high order of

for exhibition, and is also fully CONVEX
SAINT with all the inducements which
the publishers offer to subsaribers, we
refer the public to him, feeling assured
that they will find in these offers better
opportunity to invest a small amount to
