on Friday evening last
The fox chase on Saturday last caused
some excitement for the day. II we would
have had a few more dogs, and better ones,
and some more men and boys, and it had
not been so dry and windy, and there had
been some snow on the ground not too
deep, but damp and wet, and the fox had
not run in hole in all probability Sly
Reynard would have been caught.

A CHANCE TO GET THE BEST DEMOCRATIC
PAPER IN THE COUNTRY.


The New York World is acknowledged
to be the leading Democratic paper in the
United States Everybody ought to take a
city paper in addition to local one. We
have made arrangements with the Weekly
World to club with the COLUMBIAN.
price of the Weekly World is S1.00. On
receipt of $2.20 we will send the two pa
pers to any address in the county, for one
year. Clubs of five persons at one post Of
fee can get them for $1,000 il ordered at
one time This is very liberal offer, and
is made for the purpose of extending our
circulation and not because there is any
money in it.
We do not believe in the chrome bust
ness. All the county newspapers are pub
lished at rates so low that the margin of
profit is very small, and unless all subscri-
bers pay up, the loss is nearly equal to the
profits. We consider that our readers get
the full worth of their money out of this
paper at $3.50 year, and we cannot af-
ford to give every subscriber gold watch
or piano, at that price. But we will do
this: Every subscriber who will pay up
all arrearages and one year in advance will
receive for one year, Good Cheer, monthly
paper devoted to the interests of home and
family, and containing much valuable
reading matter. A sample copy can be
seen at this office. This offer will stand
only for a limited time, and all who wish
to get 200 worth for $3.50, should attend
to it at once.

Dr. Waller spoke on school discipline.
The school must be properly heated and

Make the child the object of study and

success there can be no doubt. The instruc-

well received by the teachers. There ar
however, too many teachers who attend
the institute for the purpose of having a
good time, with no thought of being made
better teachers. l have no thanks for the

that village. Mr.. George McAlarney, of
Plymouth, one of the owners of the coal
lands in that vicinity was around lately ter
minating some of the leases for the land To-
Gated in Scott Valley, and ordered Mr..
Thos. Lynch to proceed at once to clean
up the breaker and put it in shape. Mr..
McAlarney said that company of Pittston
men had been organized to take hold of the
Glen City mines and put them in operation.
The work of pumping the water from the
mines will be commenced as soon as posi-
BILE, and the breaker machinery will be put
in .first-class working order. They also
propose to prospect for other veins of coal
with the intention of increasing the capac-
ity of the breaker. We trust that the move
ment will be success. Hem.

HIS MONEY.
John Mike and Jehor Baranow were last
seen in Mt. Carmel September 18th, 1884
They were seen at the Lehigh Valley Rail
road depot receiving messages from theil
countrymen to be taken to Prussia. They
had with them considerable sum OF
money, some of which should have been
used in paying their store bills before de
parting After being on board ship few
days they met Pole named Payewski
bound for the land of his birth. AS time
passed the three became quite intimate
Payewski informed his companions that he
had been employed at Nanticoke and by
habits of industry had accumulated snug
little sum of money with which he pro
posed tightening lite's burdens in Poland
Mike and Baranow at once determined tC
secure either by fair or foul means the
fruits of Payewski's honest toll. TIL,
ocean was crossed and the journey inland
began. Up to this time numerous at
tempts had been made to steal Payewskr'
gold. AT last just before reaching thei
Russian home, and while walking on thu
highway, ball WAS sent whizzing through
Payewski's brain. Patrolmen discovered
the murdered man and instantly word wa
sent TO the passport officers. Mike ant
Baranow were suspected and arrested
The Russian government employed Gus
tave Hahn Esq, prominent German law
yer of Wilkesbarre, to gather all that wa
possible to learn about the men. Mr.
Hahn was in Mt. Carmel on Thursday anC
spent an hour in the Ners office in tn,

wound can plainly be seen. 1t is Mr.
