Judges on the Supreme bench. As the one o clock
train approached the depot, there was a grand

gage was for once tenderly handled by the Boss
baggage master who looked in vain for fee.
Soon all were rushed on board the parlor cars, as
none cared to soil their good clothes in common

car windows, and "good bye" was heard all
around the depot, and not until then was 1t dis

A MONUMENT TO CAPT. JOIN BRADT.-An effort is
being made to erect suitable monument TO the men,
ory of Capt. Jo.n Brady, in the Muncy valley, where
he gave his life defence of exposed and harrassed
ancestors in Asri., l579. Capt Brady of the
earliest pioneo of the West Branch valley, and has
been zen in historical sketch ef the "Hstory of the
SusIuehanns.7 nov published in the AMERICAN, was
one of the most gallant defenders of the early settlers in
ns vicinity. Recommendation of his heroic deeds and
pa;rio;is. an appeal is made for funds and contrbu
tions towards Erecting monument where he spent the
las: years Of his lie, and where occurred the tragic

cherished by the defendants of the earlier pioneers of

contributed by the citizens along the Susduehanna val

GOOD FOB MosEs.-Many persons got the
idea that Marx &; Bro. were going to leave Sun-
bury, as it was noticed that many Of their goods
were being packed and sent away. Not knowing
of their movements, many expressed regret to
lose such an enterprising flrm. We visited their
store on Wednesday to ascertain what their IN
tention was, ana found number OF clerks busy
packing goods, but soon learned that they were
not going to leave Sunbury, but that they had
established another store in Perry county where
they are removing their old stock 10 make room
for an entire new stock in their store at this
place. The ladies particularly will be glad 10
learn that they propose to procure larger stock
of ladies furnishing goods than they had before,
and that it will be entirely new. Moses, one of
the firm, viii start for the city an Saturday to
purchase the new stock, which will be opened
next week, and we may expect something more
handsome than has yet been seen in Sunbury, as
