From The County Seat.

David Treharn, of East Mauoh Chunk,
for many years proprietor Of the Corner
Store, has left for Europe, in order TO recruit
his health he expects TO be absent for sew
eral months. We wish him pleasant voy-
age and safe return. During his absence his
store will be in charge Of G. f. DeHart, his
senior clerk.
Miss Emma j. Stroh has accepted a
clerkshp in the shoe store Of W. II. Stroh Il
Son. A move, we think, in the right direc'
ton.
Enough and to spare Of bogus life insur-
ance agents and, Judging from their ap-
pearance, they must feel that they are not
only engaged in an extremely doubtful, but
very unpopular business, and therefore un-
profitable and unpleasant,fo for it is evident TO
all that the hand unhung can now be seen.
Weighed in the balance and found wanting.
-Pfof A. W. varanda has again return

ing for the purpose of teaching music in all
its branches, both vocal and instrumental,
including bands, piano, organ and violin
Those desiring to take lessons in music can
do so by writing 70 him or consulting him
personally, Special attention paid TO new
beginners. Don't fail to improve good op
portunity.
The Mauch Chunk Goal Gazette has
gone into the hands Of its creditors, and, for
the present, we presume 1t will be published
as heretofore and delivered as usual. We
sympathize with the former editor in his
misfortune, and wish him better success in
the future.

-Ruinor says that Msuch Chunk will
soon be honored with another circus.
Why is this rainy weather like pro-
longed visit2 Because it is twice welcome.
The once lively and busy place known
as the Lower Foundry,is now lying in what
may be termed state of decomposition, for
many of its parts are gradually decaying, and
we fear that if something is not done soon
it will become so delapidated, by neglect, as
10 become a monument of shame to our bor-
ough and habitation of mice and bats,
while the winds will sing doleful requiem
oyer its moulding corpse Who is to blame?
Echo answers, who2
Some of our knowing citizens are 80
sanguine that they unhestatingly assert
that our borough does really intend to build
a new opera house and market house thus
it seems that all of our capitalists are not
indifferent to the welfare Of our borough and
we hope that all such will be corresponding
ly appreciated and remembered with graft
thde by the people, for we confess ourself
agreeably disappointed, for we had already
come to the conclusion that il, like the silk
factory, had expired in its incipiency and
that neither would be resurrected during this
generation. We hope it is the beginning Of
better times. Can't we have a new de-
pot next? and thus push along and keep
moving until we become as noted for enter
prise as we are now noted for selfish ndif-
ference. We have just been informed that
the contract for building the market and
opera house has been let TO parties from
Philadelphia, who will comm ence at once.

the question has brought the matter to our
notice, and we will endeavor to ascertain
and may some time give our opinion, at
present we haye no choice. JUSTICE.
