Mr.. FREEMAN, the shorthand teacher who lately
spent couple of weeks in this city teaching his
admirable system with success, is now in Canton
and we recommend him to the citizens of that
place as gentleman who can be trusted to do
what he processes. His system is so simple that it
can be learned by few hours study This we
know from experience MdSSiLOn Independent.
We take pleasure in endorsing the above. Mr.,
Freeman is doing good and thorough work here.
Most of his pupils will become expert writer's be.
cause his method is so simple that every hours
study and practice yields a tangible reward in
ease of reading and speed of writing. AS an ac-
complishment it is very desirable, while as mat
ter of utility to all who have much writing to do,
its importance can hardly be overrated, Besides,
it is very evident to us that there is "money in
it," not only for the author of the system but for
the first five hundred or thousand teachers who
may give instructions in this Simplified Short
Hand. Ladies of intelligence, as we'll as gentle
men, here is desirable field for you that cannot
tail prove fairly lucrative, with reasonable at
tention. As Mr.. Freeman will probably not re-
main in the city after Saturday next persons in
terested should call upon him at the Ogden House
without delay.

We learn that Treasurer Fess-

the end of the tax-paying term,
which is June 10th, Every tax

AMUsEMENTs.- (Fhday) evening
comes Washburn's reliable show. This vaudeville
company ranks with the very best travelling
shows, and is greeted everywhere by large audi
ences of the best people. We venture the asser-
ton that they will meet with a similar reception
here tomorrow evening as the long established
reputation of the company and management
merits. The following is clipped from the Viii.
Transport (Pa.) Daily Bulletin:
We hazard nothing in asserting that va
rlety performance so good in every respect, md
devoid of every Objectionable feature, was never
given in Wiliamsport The troupe numbers over
80 people, and every person connected with it is
an artist-anything else Manager Washburn dis

ton, popular and successful show, and crowded
