Orangeville Notes.

Real estate is apparently advancing in
value, especially all that which fronts on
Main street. This fact is clearly demon
strated by the recent purchase of two lots
by S. H. Hagenbuch, one fronting on Main
and the other on Mill street for consdera-
ton of one thousand dollars. Several prop
critics have changed hands recently, one
from VIM. DeLong to 4. w. Conner, one
from Sllas Conner to Mr.. Hickman and one
from NJ. S. Hsyhurst to S. A. harpless.
Sleighing has been good for the past
week snd this alone is stimulus which
brings people in from the country, and
causes our merchants and hotel keepers to
smile a knowing smile which tells of their
prosperity.
Unangst the genial proprietor of the Gen.
tennial Hotel is going to live retired life,
at least quit the hotel business. Your cor
respondant is not informed as to where he
is going. BY the way last Friday evening
a party of twenty two members of the Gen.
U. II. Ent Post from Bloomsbury met few
other members OF the Post at Unangst's
Hotel where sociable time was had. Pat
riotic and sentimental war songs were
rendered with nearly as much vigor as dur
| ing the late unpleasantness. At II O'Clock
p. m. a bountiful repast OF oysters was serv-
ed and before l2 the party were on their
way to Bloomsbury. Come again, gentle
men.
7. w. Conner recently resident of
Bloomsbury has built large and commo-
| dous store house on Main street where he

northumberland waking Up.

The ancient town of Northumberland is
Catching on" to the progressive spirit of
the nineteenth century, and is just now
experiencing an industrial boom. A new
nail factory on an extensive scale, woolen
mill, and factory for the purpose of
making agricultural implements will
shortly appear among the industries of the
place, and those who have been holding
real estate tor the last half century in hope
of an advance are now selling their lots at
fancy prices. 1t was thought that nothing
short of an earthquake would stir up
Northumberland but this was a mistaken
notion, judging by the enterprise that has
just appeared there. 1t is pleasure to
know that the prospects of the venerable
town are 50 promising and we congratulate
its citizens ON the out look. .-Sunbuy Demo-

THE LEAD MINEs.-The work on the two
drifts has been prosecuted with great vigor
for the last two days. Good indications Of
quartz containing oxydes of lead haye been
reached, although but ten feet Of drift has
been excavated. The pitch of the vein by a
miners levelis about 33i degrees. A math-
| ematical calculation has been made as to the
number Of feet the tunnel will have to be
driven to reach the vein, and it is expected
to reach them at 40t feet. AS soon as the
main veins are reached breasts will be open
ed at once The latest modern appliances
will be used for mining, and no method left
untried to secure those interested in the enc
terprise the greatest possible money return.
The lead mines below Sunbury are part of
the mineral belt of which outcroppings are
found at many places in Snyder, Mifflin,
Clearfield, Huntingdon and Columbia coun-
ties, and is from sixty to eighty miles in
width. The south dip crops out below
Sunbury, saddling over and dipping south
and is pinched off by the coal measures. On
the north dip the veins 60 under the river
and form basin between Sunbury and
Northumberland, coming up again above
Bloomsbury, near Espytown, in Columbia
county, forming an immense basin Of ore
that would take a century to mine. Out
groupings have been found near Seven
Points, five miles east of the Sunbury mine,
proving that there are continuous veins of
mineral running east Of the Sunbury mines.
The opening Of these mines will not only be
great enterprise but will be the means of
developing all the surrounding Mines

George shuman, an old resident of this
place, died on Saturday evening 9th inst.
He was as well as usual in the forenoon,
was up town and did the work about the
barn. He was taken i'll at the dinner
table complaining of severe pain in his
head. He arose from his chair and lay
down on the floor, was placed on a bed
and the doctor being called in he became
better during the afternoon but about Fl &c
o'clock he became worse and died soon
after seven. He was about seventy-seven
years old. Always n regular attendant at
church, was at the usual service for the
last time on Sunday before, being the last
day Of the old year. His remains were
buried on Tuesday.
A protracted meeting has been in prog
ress at the NJ Z. Church for some time.
The attendance is good.
Geo. Swank bade adieu to his many
trends of this place and started on trip
to Florida on the 9th inst He sailed on
Saturday 9th, on the steamer "City of
Macon" from Philadelphia for Savannah,
Ga, and arrived at Jacksonville, Fla, on
the 10th inst.
Rev. Feggly of Lewisburg preached in
the Lutheran church on Sunday.
Mrs. Sallie Brown, who lived in this
township for many years, died in Centre
township on Friday last. She moved with
her husband to this place from New Jer-
sey many years ago. After her husbands
death she lived with her son-in-law, S. II.
Swank. She died at the age of ninety-seven
years within few days. She was favored
with unusual health; at the age of "a she
had never taken any medicine. Had seen
but very few sick days since. She was
always able to work. Last September
she suggested to her great granddaughter
walk to Nescopeck from Mifflin, which
would not have been unusual for her to
do. She has several great grand children
one of which is married. Not many
people like Mrs. Brown have the pleasure
of being invited to the we dding of their
great grand-child. Her remains were in
tered at the Mifflin cemetery on Sunday.
Our friends p. and s. Slusser of Hazleton
visited friends at this place on Saturday
and Sunday.

II Is our custom to give our books a
thorough overhauling,on the first of the
year. In accordance with this rule,
bills have been made out for every
person who owes for year or more up to
January 1st, 1888 These bills have been
sent out in sealed envelopes with three
cent stamp on each one, because we have
found by experience that bills sent in the
papers receive little or no attention A
list of all those to whom bills are sent, is
kept, and those who do not respond are
marked down as "slow pay" In putting
the price Of the paper at $1.50 year in
advance, we hoped to secure prompt pay
ments, and thus save the postage, printing
and time expended in looking after non
paying subscribers. On some delinquents
as much as fifteen cents postage has al
ready been expended without any result,
besides the cost of envelopes and printed
circulars. To such, we cannot send the
paper for two or three years, and then ac-
cept the low rate, the same as if paid in
advance All bills sent out, when more
than one year is due, have been made So 90
year, and this will be insisted on, except
where the following condition is complied
with.
Al those wlo pay in full to January Isl, 1884,
can settle al The rate Of $3.50 a year, provided
they pay before February lst, 1888.
We have extended the time one month,
because it is cheaper to do so, than to
travel over the county trying to collect.
Those who reject this liberal offer will
positively be charged $2.0O a year, and
those who owe for several years will have
their papers stopped and the amounts
placed for collection. We are obliged to
say so much because there are hundreds
of dollars due us that we badly need to
pay our bills and make further improve
ments in our office. "Busness is bust
ness" and it is impossible to run our es-
tablishment on promises and open book
accounts.
We know our prompt paying patrons
will pardon us for occupying so much
space on this subject, as it is not often
that we print duns in the paper, but neces-
sity compels it now.
