The Skating Rink.

This institution to which the young
people are looking forward with so much
interest, will probably be ready in two or
three weeks. It is to be erected, by the
lessees of the ground, on Main street. next
to Y. M. Bickle's. The building will be
Of sheet iron sides and roof, dimensions
50gl50 feet, and the flooring, which will be
of birch and hard maple 81 or 3 inches
wide, is Icing gotten out near Buffalo
Gap in this county. The uilders and
lessees are Messrs. Reynolds, Sullivan &
Hamaker of Reynoldsville, Pa, who have
had much experience in skating Kinks.
The location is central and convenient:
the amusement Is innocent and graceful;
the prices will be moderate. and the pro-
prietors will see that not only strict order
but strict etiquette is preserved. There
will be an orchestra a t the rink. There is
so little of scclal festivity in any organic
ed form for our young people that they
sadly need some place where they can as
semble, and this rink will give them an
opportunity TO spend evenings where they
will be sure to fad acquaintance OF their
own set.

taxes on rolling-stock Used by that COM
pany in operating the line from Winches-
ter o Stanton. The amount claimed as
due from 1870 up to the beginning of suit
