The license of the Williams Hotel in Ber.
wick was revoked by the court last Monday.
II will be remembered that there was contest
over this license at May court and the applica-
tiOn Of Boyd v. Williams, was refused on the
ground that while it was in his name, the hotel
was under the control of William Williams, a
man nn6t for q landlord by reason of intemper-
ate habits. The license was granted to Boyd
Williams finally, on condition that it should
be transferred by him to some one not under the
control Of William Williams, and with the un-
derstaading that il he remained there and
became intoxicated the license would be reyok-
ed. Such transfer WAS made to Henry C. VIII
son. On Monday an application was made to
transfer again to Levi Rredbender, but il being
apparent that it was only an arrangement to
run the house for William Williams the court
revoked the license.

1t is very comforting to hear from General
Howard. Some of his force has attacked
the Indians two hundred miles in advance of
whore Howard himself was at the time, and
if Howard doesn't get over that two hundred
miles soon enough to interfere we may rcasou-
ably expect to learn that the Indians have
been beaten, A courier has travelled the
whole distance to give oward news of the
fight, and although the fight was still going
on when he left, Howard believes that the Iu-
dians have met with Il severe repulse Not
the least startling portion Of Howard's dis
patch is that in which he tells what he is GO
ing to do-what he is going to do is one OF
his pecularities-and probably if he can
form Junction somewhere with somebody We
shall hear Of an important telegraphic victo'
ry in a few days.

ORANGEyILLE ACADEMY.

The closing exercises Of the Orangevile
Academy took place on Friday last The pro-
gramme as arranged for the day was rs follows
Reunion of friends, students and teachers al 10
a. M, anniversary addresses at II, picnic din
ner in the grove on the grounds at 12, public
exercises by the students at 2p. M, and an ex-
hibition in the evening. This programme was
fully and very successfully carried out The
attendance was very large, consisting Of persons
from all parts Of this county and number from
Luzerne county and other places. The ami.
versary addresses were made in the hall by
Rev. A. Brydie, Of Scranton, Mr.. A. McIsursy,
of Lafayette College, and others The dirner
gave great satisfaction, two or three hundrsd
persons partaking of the many good things pro-
vided by the people Of Orangeville. In the A.
ternoon the exercises were Of varied and very
interesting character. Among the many good
things we must mention the orations of Mr.. Z.
b. Beiskline and Mr.. ID. W. Kingsbury as be-
ing especially entertaining and instructive, and
that of Mr.. Kingsbury In particular, entitled
Education for Farmers" presented many ex.
cellent ideas in a very attractive form, and ia
worthy Of more than mere passing thought by
all who heard them. The music o, the day
and evening was another very attractive feature
Of the entertainments. Though all vocal, yet
it was we'll rendered, and showed marked
ability on the part of the performers. The ex-
hibtion in the evening was also great success,
both in the way of performance and Of stten.
dance. The proceedings Of the day reflect great
credit on the principal Rev, c. X. Garfield and
his assistant, and on the people Of the village
who did all in their power to make the occasion
one to be long and pleasantly remembered by
all those who were present, and we'll did they
succeed Under the present principal the school
has been raised up from the ground until It /,
now one of the most successful institutions O
the kind in this section Of the State.

CLOSING OF THE SHENANDOAH BANK.-The
people Of Shenandoah were shocked on the
morning of the 26th ult., when they learned
that the Shenandoah Valley bank was closed
not to opea again. The following notice was
posted on the door: The directors have deci.
ded to close this bank tor the present time. The
steady withdrawal of deposits, IS the result Of
the continued depression in business, and the
difficulty in collecting in its assets for the same
reason, have prevented the bank frsm accomo.

A BOLD BURGLARY.-On Saturday afternoon
tramp or some other thief entered the dwell
ling of Paul E. Writ Esq, on Fifth street, and
helped himself to pair of shoes, suit of clothes
and hat, and decamped, leaving his own bro.
gans, and tattered garments as a slight compen-
saton for the loss There was no one at home,
and the thief entered the cellar by removing
the grating, and thence through the kitchen to
the upper part of the house. Mr.. Writ thinks
it must have been done at about four o'clock.
No clue has yet been discovered.

The Edison Phonograph was in town last
Tuesday, on exhibition by w. J. Chappelle, Of
New York. 1t is truly wonderful apparatus,
consisting of an iron cylinder around which is
wrapped sheet Of tin foil The operator talks
into mouth piece which conveys the sound
to thin tympanum. The vibration of the,
tympanum moves sharp pointed attachment
which makes dotted mark on tin foil as the
crank is turned. The cylinder is then reversed
and on turning it again the exact words spoken
in the mouth piece are clearly reproduced. In
provements are being made on this wonderful
instrument, and 1t will prove of great utility to
business men and others. Before long we can
buy novel on copper plate, introduce il in the
phonograph, wind up the machine, and cit
down aud have the novel read TO us.

Our Town Council profess to be the friends Of
the workingmen. Now is good time 10 prove
it. Our town sadly needs water works. Now
is the time to erect them. In the first place it
would give employment to a large number Of
laborers. Secondly, they can now be built at
one half the ordinary cost, on account Of the
cheapness of labor and material. As to pay.
ment Town bonds running fer q long time at
reasonable interest can be readily sold.
We learn that the P. & r. r. r. Co., taking
advantage of the present situation Of affairs are
carrying water over seven miles, and are sup
plying about six miles Of the Mshsnoy Valley,
and all the mines from Mahanoy Planes to be-
yond Gilberlon. Now is the time to act, il
ever, and we believe the heavy tax payers will
acquiesce.

to make money out of it, but TO sconomize the
profanity of this country" 'For" he contin-
ues, 'you know when the average man wants to
find his scrap book he can't find his paste-then
he swears or If he finds it, it is dried so hard
that it is only fit to eat-then he swears; if he

next year he cannot read his scrap The re-
suit is barrels and barrels of.profanity." There
is another circumstance in life under which the
average man is liable to indulge in unlimited
profanity. 1t is when the family physician
sends him a bill Of one or two hundred dollars
for treating his wife, while the ladys face has
become paer than ever, through the merciless
persecution of caustics, and mechanical contr.
vances. If he he does not impulsively send ,he

journey, it is because he ia a saint and deserves

irreparable harm. DIR. Pierce's Fayorite Pre-
