that Rev. Nesbit, Of Lock Haven, went out
hunting recently and shot down a large deer
On examination, it proved to be a very old
buck, stone-blind. Had not the reverend

4 Foolish hHistake.-Don'tm make the mistake
Of coniounding remedy of acknowledged
merit with the numerous quack medicines
that are now 50 common. We speak from
experience when we say that Parkers Ginger
Tonic is sterling health restorative, and will
do all that is claimed for it. We have used
it ourselves with the happiest results for

A Long LRs.-We notice that telephone
communication between Williamsport and
Pittston is established One of the wires of
the American Union Telegraph Company was
used. A very satisfactory talk was carried
on, Notwithstanding the distance is 40 miles.
The speaking could be heard with great dis
tinctness, very little trouble being met from
induction. This is certainly an achievement
worthy of special attention from the public.

win lecture in this place for two evenings 9
week after next, during the County Institute, {
attended the Cameron County Institute at ,
Driftwood last week, and half the people I
who went to hear him could not get into I

such that one moment he would have the ,

the next moment would find tears in many
of their eyes. He has lectured in Cameron {
county seven times within the past year-fye (
times at Driitwood and twice at Emporium. q

HoHoy inh-An exchange states that Capt "
J II. williams, of Washington county, intends tt

them in rows after two years will thin out, II

rut young walnuts for table legs in eight II
years will cut again alternate trees for newal "

nuts by the thousand bushels, and in fifteen o.
