the effect that the plumbing at the poor house

The plumbing at poor house was done un-

Towanda, and those employed by him, and is
entirely satisfactory so far.
j. W. HURST, Commissioner.
If the plumbing at the poor house reflects
credit upon any one, Mr.. WILLIAMS, who had
the contract, is entitled to it, and it is hardly
fair in our cotemporary to cheat him out of it.

Already the excitement of the great show
that is to exhibit here on May 31st is manifest.
Everybody is making preparations to go. and
little need now be said editorially to ensure
al overwhelming multitude in its colossal
pavilion.
This grand aggregation has the reputation
of coming fully up to what they advertise,
and many of the papers say they have done
more than this. People are really enthus-
astic over this gigantic organization and the
splendid reputation they make wherever they
go seems to fly ahead like the wind. The
proprietors, BA1CHELLER Il DORIS, are de-
termined that their exhibition here shall sur
pass ANYTHING of the kind ever witnessed.
No lemonade. candy or other pedders are
allowed within the show, and the fact they
protect their patrons from all kinds of
swinders who usually follow shows, has
created most favorable impression. In adj
,dition to the monster menaserIe and grand
double circus will be seen Zazel, the human
