Mr.. EDIroR.
Some maliciously dispos-
ed person or persons have been circulating
the merchants of Orangeville combina-
tion to put up prices of goods and keep
down the price Of produce. Now as far Us
we are concerned the report Is absolutely
false, rs we are not party to any such
combination and have no knowledge of it;
on the contrary, we will sell goods as low
as any other store in the county and will
pay the highest market price, either mer-
chandise or cash, for all kinds of country
produce. We are beginners ln :he town
and will not be undersold, as the following
prices will prove; calicos from 43 to 8 cts,
| oil calicos from o to II cts, lawns 0 to 12l
| cts, ginghams 8 to IL cts. We sell Rem
frew and Canton ginghams Qhe best dress
| ginghams in the market), for 10 cts per
yard, and have numerous pieces TO select
from; buntings, all colors, from 12 to 20
cts, muslin, blcached and unbleached, 8 to
13 cts, Ticking i2 to 25 cts, and full line

before you give any credit to stories
that may be in circulation, come and see
us and prove our words true or false. The
above list is only u specimen of our prices,
we sell everything else equally as low.
Now to you having lumber to sell we will
buy it and give you the advantage of these
low prices in exchange for your stock or
pay you cash. And to you who may want
to buy lumber we say we are dealing in a
full stock of lumber that at our prices will

John Sharpless came to this country in
1859, and landed on the Gath of August at
the mouth of Ridley Creek this State, two
months earlier than William Penn did. He
proceeded up the creek to point about
one mile and half northwest from the
present site of the City of Chester where
he felled n large tree and made a house of
the boughs. There he and his wife lived
six months, while they constructed cabin
against the side of rock. There were
seven children born to them, and after 200
years have elapsed it is estimated that there
are not less than ZOO defendants of this
pioneer. The family are thickly settled in
and around Philadelphia, in Delaware and
Chester counties, and it is proposed to ccle.
brate the bi-centennial of the landing of the
original Sharpless in August by family

The ~. & w. IL. Shops.

1t is more than probable that the repair
shops of the above branch of the Pennsyl-
vania road will be located at Coamont, OPP
posite Shickshinny. Sufficient ground has
been rendered to the company by the Nice,
ly estate upon which to locate the shops
and put in switches. In conversation
with II gentleman who is intimately con.
nccted with the building Of the road he
said that the company would no doubt
take advantage of the offer and locate the
shops. The line will he extended on to
llawley, Wayne county, and it is natural
to suppose that company would wish to
have the shops as far up the line as prac
ticable -ShickshinLU Echo,

of the Lycoming Fire Insurance Company
at Muncy, reports the amount at three hun
dred thousand dollars ($3O0, ,0O0), and he
believes that there are unreported claims
of not less than 100000. What gross mis-
management and huge fraud this COM
pany proves to be! Scores Of the citizens
of Cleariield county have been robbed by
this bankrupt concern. The officers de-
serve seat in the penitentiary for the

a correspondent of the Wilkes Barre
Leader makes Il singular mistake in CON-
menting on the politics of this county. He
says that Sheriff Ent twill not be renomin-
ated, and having sense enough to know it,
has not asked nomination" 1t is true
that Sheriff Ent has not asked for renom-
ination. He does not deem it worth while
for him to spend any time seeking second
term of Office from the fact that the consti-
tuition of Pennsylvania, Article sixth, Sec
ton one, provides that "no person shall be
twice chosen sheriff in any term of six
years" Perhaps they have different con-
stitution in Luzerne county.

The Watermelon Cure.

The watermelon contains ninety-fiv per
cent. of the purest water and trace of
pure sugar, and nothing has yet been dis
covered that furnishes so perfect and
speedy a cure for summer complaint AS
watermelon and nothing else. Even when
diarrhpa has become chronic, this delicious
bcverage-for it is little morc-watermelon,
taken freely, two or three times day, has
again and again, been known to work
wonders, and to "cure" when all the usual
remedies had failed.
