The Opera House.

Before the fall amusement season opens
dergone great improvements on the inter-
ior. 1t is the intention of the owner, |.
w. McKelvy, to put in new seats through
out the hall. They will be veneered chairs,
large and easy, with nickel plated num-
her on each one, and will be arranged so
that it will be much more conven-
lent to pass through the aisles.
The seats will be made by the School
Furnishing Company. The Opera House
has been under tn, management of F. d.
Dentler and ]. F. Peacock for several
years, and they haye always put forth
great efforts to secure the best attractions
possible for town of this size. They have
on a number of occasions brought enter
tainments here that seldom show outside of
the larger cities. A fine new piano was
purchased last year, and new drop cur
tain put up. 1t is the intention to keep on
adding improvements to the hall so long as
the public shall show proper apprecia-
ton OF the efforts Of the managers to pro-
vide first-class entertainments. A public
hall is a necessity in every town, and IN
order that it may be properly maintained,
it is necessary that 1t should receive liberal
public patronage We are informed that
number of excellent companies are already
booked for the fall, and as the attractions
and conveniences Of the Opera House will
be greatly increased, the size of the aud
fences should be correspondingly enlarged.

A Good Harvest.

The farmers in the neighborhood Of
saltwater haye just housed one of the
finest crops of wheat that has been raised
in this part of the valley for many years.
1t IS not only abundant in straw, but the
heads are large and well filed, and all
secured in good condition. 1t was grand
sight to see 1t from an eminence, as 1t stood
over the fields in shocks, and no man, who
believes in God and has a heart capable of
appreciating his goodness could look upon
this evidence of his bounty and not feel
grateful. Among the largest products
noticeable is that of the Stackhorse Bros,
who run the farms of Daniel McHenry.
They had thirty-two acres of wheat in one
field from which they cut ten thousand
10000 sheaves. They cut it with 'self
binder" apd three men and two boys put
it in shock in two days and half. This
is certainly progress on the farm, when
we think of how many days it would have
taken to cut it with cradles and bind it the
old way. j. SUTTON.

HOW THRY SERVED NEWSPAPER MEN AT THE
REGATTA.


T. NJ. Jones gets off the following in the
Harrisburg Telegraph; Speaking of fakirs,
again reminds me of Sunbury. Sunbury is
pretty town with railway through its
principal square, a pretty park, lots of
pretty girls, staid citizens, dormant wealth
and clans. There are also some shiny
newspaper fellows. On Thursday at the
races one of these newspaper fellows named
Will G. Dewart patronized the fakirs and
bet he could pick out the '1ady card" that
the three-csrd- man was tossing and
lost twenty dollars. Another newspaper
man named Brice thought he could beat
the fakir soap peddler's game and lost
three hard, cold American dollars because
his eyesight was worse than his hindsight.
The third newspaper sharp, named Jerry
Shindle, on whom the flies are perpetually
crawling bucked against Philadelphia
fakir's sweat cloth, the boldest kind OF a
swindle, and in five minutes was out seven
dollars and half, the hardest luck he has
had since he played in an amateur opera
company at Shamokin and had to count
the ties back to Sunbury. Still a fourth
newspaper man named "Beeswhacks'
Auten lost his head and fourteen dollars
and ffty-nine cents fighting the roulette
wheel on the river bank. Another Sunbury
man bought pools on race and won and
forgot to have his tickets cashed and moi
only lost what he won but what he invest

One house has been moved nearly to its
destination at Sixth and Jefferson Sts., from
Fourth and Market, and the second one is
on its way. The men having charge of the
work understand their business thoroughly.
Three men and horse do all the work.
The building is raised up by jacks and a
heavy frame work put under it. A track
of heavy timbers is laid, and the house is
drawn along on sleds which run on the
track and are so made that they cannot run
off. The track is covered with soap, and
by means of windlass the house is drawn
along slowly and smoothly. 1t is not an
unusual thing for these men to move frame
or brick houses while families are living in
them. Mr.. jenkins moves buildings in all
parts of the country. He came here from
Pougbkeepsie, and goes from here to Will
kesbarre. He brought about 13 tons of ma
terial here with him.

An Excellent Game.

The finest game of ball that was ever
played at Athletic Park took place there
last Saturday afternoon, the contesting
mines being the Bloomsbury team and the
Anthracites of Wilkesbarre. Ten innings
and half were played, when the game
was stopped, owing to one of the visiting
nine being injured, not seriously. The
score was but one one when the game was
called, and as it was the Anthracites who
refused to play, the umpire decided the
game to in favor of Bloomsbury.
The game was an excellent one all
through, and both mines did finely. Hayes
and Deal the home battery, played first
class game. A number of brilliant plays
were made. The full score is as follows
