The band boys showed vast inn
provement in their open air concert
last Monday evening, it being their
first appearance ON the band stand
since last fall.
Fred. Douglass said, in his Staunton,
Va, lecture the other night: cit is a
mistake for the negro to move North;
one of the most unfortunate predica-
ments that can be imagined is negro
in a snow bank; it don't look right
the colors don't blend harmonieusly."
We are panied to report that our
friend ID. p. Whitcomb, who had but
just got out amongst us after severe
and painful sickness, has met with a

clan. At this writing Thursday morn
ing, he is somewhat more comfortable.
Forty-fve years ago Paul Dilling-

occupies a seat in the United States

A NEW COUNTERFEIT. The secret
service division of the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington, d. c., reports
that a new counterfeit S. bill on the
National Bank of Pawling, Pawling,
Dutchess county, New York, has made
its appearance. 1t is supposed to be
transfer from the dangerous counter
felt Tamaqua five, and the public will
do well to refuse all fiives on the Ma
tional Bank of Pawling.
Complaint reaches us that young
boys are III the habit of congregating
of a Sunday evening about the covered
bridge, and amusing themselves by
throwing stones, etc. We are request,
ed to warn all such offenders that the
officers have been notified TO put u
stop to these practices, and one officer
informs us that if any boys are caught
throwing stones, or otherwise disturb
ing the public peace on Sunday, or
any other day, they will be put where
they viii not have an opportunity of
annoying people going to or returning
from church,
On our second page will be found the
advertisement of G. NJ. Dyer, who has
just returned from market with as
choice an assortment of goods as could
be found there. A reading of the ad-
vertisemeDt cannot but prove interest
ing to everybody in town. His motto
is new goods and new styles in all de-
partments," and right we'll has he
acted up to it. To enumerate all the
good things he has got displayed upon
his shelves and counters would occupy
too much space, therefore we say to
one and all of our readers, go there
and see for yourselves.
