fit Of the Catholic orphans of this city

that matter in charge.
The fair is takeIi part in by all the
Catholic Churches Of the city, and each
church is represented by a booth, at
which various handsome and usefuI
articles are offered for sale. The tables,
therefore, are six in number, but in ad-
dition to this there is refreshment de-
partment that is finely decorated and
well patronized.
The fair will continue during next
week, and, being for mos. worthy OBJ
ject, will doubtless be well pa.ronized.

Gas Stock Failing.

NEw YORK, Dec. 24.--At the first
sale Of gas stock to-day since the an
nouncement of Edison's successful CON-
pletion of the electric light lower prices
prevailed, the decline being about five
per cant. The opinion prevails that
there will be q further decline, partly,
however, in consequence OF the war be-
tween the gas companies that has pre-
vailed so long and is continued. In this
connection II is believed by persons ia q
position TO know that the reduction OF
capital from five million dollars to three
million dollars contemplated by the
Mutual Company Is proposed with =
view to consolidation with the New
York companies, somewhat similar TO
that attempted by the Brooklyn compa-
nies. If such a union Is contemplated
It is said IL would be desirable for the
Mutual to reduce its capital TO put itself
on a footing with the other comp mics.
AT present it has by far the largest capi-
tai of any.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Dec. 20.
Great excitement was occasioned here
tonight by the receipt Of intelligence
from Bangor that Major 4. W. French,
Assistant Adjutant General, while re-
moving 12O stand of arms from the State
arsenal In that city to the depot in order
to send them to Augusta, had been at
tackled by a mob upon the street, In front
of the WHO and Courier offices and
compelled TO return the arms to the ar
senai. Mayor Brown, of Bangor, was
appealed to for protection by Major
French, but replied that he was power
less to aid in any way, as the mob could
not be controlled. Governor Garcelon
was telegraphed to at Augusta, the Lew
istown office being closed, and the mes
sage was forwarded across the country
by . team.

Mr.. EDITOR: After having exhausted

to get fish from all adjoining State, and
lastly from the u. 5. Fish Commission,
except Uor this county, as far as |

Now, as our county and State have so
many fine, fresh water ponds,
streams and creeks that empty
into the Delaware River, and
fish for food is held In high estimation
by our Delaware people, and as in my
opinion she is treated by the fish com
mission as the fog end Of creation, pro

FROM JORDAN SPRINGS.
Echoes About JOrdan's Spring


Joseph A. Wootton, son of A. ]. wootton,
! received a very painful injury on last Sat
urday. He, with others, had met at the
base ball grounds, and while in the act of
catching the ball, was struck on the end OF
one Of his fingers, breaking the nail in the
middle, and causing great swelling of the
! entire hand and excruciating pain for some
time.
The oat crop of this section is generally
/ planted. Northern or Western seed have
been used, and the acreage is larger, perhaps,
than usual. 1t has always been surprising
| to me that our farmers pay so little atten-
/ ton to this crop. The cost Of producing is
light, and the yield is generally several fold.
/ Medium or light soil, so much of which we
/ have in this county, is specially adapted TO
/ the raising of this crop. Let us have more
| oats.
/ David MetcaIf bailif of the Garrettsburg
/ district. was in our town on last Wednes-
| day.
Anthony Dick, an old and highly respec-
ted colored man, died near Rose Hill a few
| days ago. In ante-bellum times he was the
/ faithful servant of Mrs. Dick of GAINESVILLE.
4 His fidelity and attachment We're shown by
I his remaining at the old home q number of
/ years after freedom, making, l believe,
monthly visits to his wife in the neighbor-
hood of his recent death. He was industri-
Gus. and at his death was the owner of con-
siderable property.
| Several of our citizens attended the sale OF
J. c. Steger, Trustee, on last Saturday. The
sale, understand, was continued on Mon
| day.
! w. s. Mallory, Esq. hOnored the 'Insti-
tute' by visit last Friday. The Squire is a
wide-awake man, having informed him
self on the subject of public schools. lie
says that large boy, who will not study
| without It, should be hogged. Then, if he
| Will not study, lie should be dismissed from
school. And why not ? A boy who will
not observe law and discipline of the school
he attends is not only not doing any good
| for himself, but is also positive hindrance
| to others, and thus prevents the teachers
success. Such a boy has, really, no rights at
school. He has no social rights, for society
| is held together by fidelity to law and order.
| Such a character, we hold, is an outlaw, and
| should be treated as such Until reformation
| ensue. VerbltEl sap.
| E. r. Averitt, a good and true citizen and
| Christian, has been compelled to retire from
