A meeting was held last week in the
Wyoming Valley Hotel at Wilkes Barre, to
arouse an interest in the people along the
Susquehanna river and secure an appro-
priaton for the improvement of the river
bed 50 as to make it navigabc from
Havrc-de- Grace to Athens, and finally to
have it reach Elmira and Owego, n. y.
Congressman Scranton was present at the
meeting and expressed his opinion that if
Il committee should be chosen from among
the citizens in and about Wilkes Barre and
go before the River and Ilarbor committee
at Washington, some good might be done
a resolution was adopted urging Con-
gresham Scranton to use every effort to
secure an appropriation of 100000 If
other Congressman, whose districts lie
along the Susquchanna would bend their
efforts to this same end, the time might
soon come when this grand river will be
of some service as means of transporta-
tion.

webstcr's Unabridged.

The new edition of the popular diction-
airy contains 1928 pages, 5000 cngrav-
ings, 4 pages of colored plates, a supple
ment of over 1900 new words and
meanings, and biographical dictionary of
over 300 names. 1t is warmly endorsed
by more than fifty College Presidents, and
the best American and European scholars.
The following facts will show why Web
stcr's Dictionary ought not to be sold rs low
as Worcestcrs,--
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary con-
tains one-ffth more matter than Wor-
cester's, The type being smaller thereby giving
much more on page. In the amount of
matter It contains it is believed to be the
largest volume published.
Webster contains $4,000 words in its
vocabulary, about 5000 more than the
latest edition of Worcester.
Webster contains 5000 Illustrations in
the body Of the work, and these are re
peated, classified, finely printed on crpensire
tinted piper, at the end of the work. Wor-
cester contains about 100 Illustrations in
the body only, not repeated as in Webster.
Webster cmbodics about one hundred years
of literary labor
The publishers retail price of Webster is

The New Edition of Webster's Unabridged

300 noted persons, giving Name, Pronun-

A Railroad Fight.

The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company has filed bill in equity in this
county asking the Court to grant an in
junction TO restrain the North IL West
Branch Railway Company from crossing
their track at grade near Rupert bridge,
The bill alleges that the crossing at grade
is impractcablc, and that it would be very
dangerous to both companies, the situation
being such that it would be impossible for
an engineer on either road to see train
coming on the other in time to stop. The
n. & w. b. Railway Company in their
answer allcgc that the crossing will be no
more dangerous than any other of the same
kind and they are numerous that it is the
only practicable method of crossing, as an
overhead trestling would destroy the grade
and be very expensive, and crossing
further down the track would necessitatc n
great amount of excavation, They alsoset
tween the two companies, in which the
complainant fully agrees that the crossing
should be made at grade and at the point
now proposed. Testimony was heard in
the case by Judge Elwell, on Wednesday
S p. Wolvcrton representing the Philadel
phia n Reading Company and II. w. Pal
mcr and c. II. Buckalcw the n. & w. b
Railway Company Quite number o.
civil engineers were examined by each side
but being unable to conclude the testimony
the hearing was continued until Friday o
next week.

William NJ. Quick left his home in
Bloomsbury on Thursday morning, April
9th for the purpose as he said, of bringing
home horse he had purchased of a Mr.,
johnson, in Danville, on the previous Tues
day. He went to Rupert on foot, called to
see his mother, saw and talked with his
brother, said he was going to get or buy
horse, bought ticket at the l.. * b. Office
for Danyile, and from that time to this has
not been seen by anybody so far as his
friends can ascertain. His failure to return
on Thursday evening excited no alarm, as
he had said if he did not get the johnson
horse he would look about till he did get
one. Not returning on Friday evening his
friends became uneasy and began making
inquiries. But no one saw him get on the
at Danvillc, and Mr., johnson says he was
there on Tuesday and was to return on
Thursday but did not, Inquiries at Dan
Vile, Northumberland and Sunbury, and
along the canal where he is well known
return no word of him, and at Milton
and other points, are equally iruitless.
Dispatches to relatives in the West bring
the same reply, There is absolutely no
cause known for his absence, He is II tall
slim man. somewhat gray, with blue eyes
and about forty years of age, Information
will be gratefully received by Hugh d.

PILES! PILES!PlLES!
A Sure Cure Found at Last!
No One Need Suffer-!

A sure cure for blind, bleeding, itcning
and liberated piles has been discovered
by DR.. William, Gan Indian remedy,) called
DR.. Williams Indian Ointment. A single
box has cured the worst chronic cases of
25 or 30 years standing. No one need
suffer five minutes after applying this won
derful soothing medicine. Lotions, instru-
ments and electuaries do more harm than
good. Williams Ointment absorbs the
tumors, allays the intense itching, (partic-
ularly at night after getting warm in bed
acts as Il poultice, gives instant and pain
less relief, and is prepared only for piles
&c, and for nothing else.
Read what Hon. j. NJ. Coilinberry of
Cleveland says about DR.. Williams
Indian Pile Ointment have used scores
of pile cures, and 1t affords me pleasure to
say that have never found anything which
gave me such immediate and permanent
relief as DR.. Williams Indian Ointment.

The display of Northern lights on Sunday
last was something extraordinary. 1t was
first noticed about 8 o'clock in the evening
and continued until after midnight. At
times the sky presented such a blood-red
appearance that one would have thought
there was great contlagration. At Peters,
burg, Va. the light was so bright that the
street lamps could have been dispensed
with. At Chicago the air seemed so charg-
ed with electricity that the telegraph wires
would not work with the batteries con-
nectcd. At Cleveland, Ohio, it affected a
great many persons who were troubled
with nervous disorders. The pastor of the
NJ. Z, Church was prostrated in the pulpit
while praying. Ladies tainted in the
Church. Those who were out of doors as
well as those in the Church complained OF
oppressive sensations. The display was
noticed by Il great many people in all sec
tions of the country, and will probably be
ever r cmcmbcrcd because of its continued
brightness.

proposition to the citizens of Wilkes Barre

between the two places to such height as
to avoid all the Inconvenience suffered at
every freshet. He pledges himself to be
one of fifty or one hundred men to raise
$4,000, which, with the aid of the public
road taxes and liberal amount from the
Street Railway Company, would be suf-
fcicnt to remedy the great evil. He sug-
gests having arches made at all the low
points in the road, of sufficient capacity TO
carry off all the overflow water.
