JanisOn city.

On Thursday afternoon of last week n
car load OF excursionists went up the b. &
.. to Jamson City. Col. Corcoran. MIR.
Bubb, Mr.. Merriman and several other
gentlemen from Willamsport, and about
thirty from Bloomsbury constituted the
party. The tracks Of the b. & 8. railroad
are laid to Jamison City, and the train ran
up to the end Of the tracks What was but
a few weeks ago the farm of Mrs. Roberts
Is now busy scene. The railroad depot
is nearly completed, and is large and con.
venient, with wide platform entirely
around it. Upon the hill overlooking the
town workmen are employed excavating
for the foundation of the new hotel which
is to be erected by stock company FORM
ed mostly in Bloomsbury. 1t is to be a
fine building with all modern conveniences
and to cost about $4,000. As summer re
sort 1t is destined to become a popular
place. A large boarding house is nearly
completed, and the foundations are laid
for the large saw mill of Corcoran, Rich
ards & Go. The machinery OF the mill is
on the ground ready to be placed in posi-
ton, and men are already at work in the
woods getting out logs. A tannery and a
hub factory will soon be erected. On the
opposite side of the creek DR.. Edwards
has saw mill in operation.
The town has been divided into lots,
and number of them have been sold. Col,
John Jameson and A. Il. Fritz Esq. have
the matter in charge, and anyone desiring
to purchase can see the draft of the town,
and make their selections. A large number
OF workmen will be employed in the sever
al industries about to be started there, and
many houses will be required to accommo-
date them. The lots are selling at low
figure now, and 1t looks like good invest.
ment, as they are sure to increase in price
soon.
A new era has dawned on the upper end
of the county, and we expect to see a
thriving and prosperous village at Jamison
City in few months.

A large excursion party went 10 Danyillc
on Saturday night 10 take part in the De-
mocratic parade at that place. There were
OIL tickets sold here, and number were
taken on at Rupert and Catawissa. The
procession as II left here was headed by
Gilmore's Band, after which came about 80
business men with black silk hats, under
the marshaship Of w. B. Taylor. Then
came the Bloom Band followed by the
Cleveland and Thurman Club with white
hats, capes and torches, marshalled by
Capt. U. ii. Ent. At Danvile the Blooms
burg visitors were put at The head OF the
procession. The town was brilliantly
Illuminated, and red fire was burned along
all the streets. There we're said to be 1000
footmen and $50 horsemen In the line. II
was the biggest parade of the campaign in
this section. The Northumberland club
with two bands also took part.
1t was half past twelve when the train
returned, and being Sunday morning the

Maniac cured by Prayer.

The faith-cure people have been holding
meetings during the past week on Eagle
street, near Cedar, with extremely salts
factory results. Mrs. Darlington, wife of a
jamestown furrier, announced her entire
recovery from insanity, in answer to pray
er. A mad desire to kill herself had taken
possession of her. Failing in several other
attempts she purchased ten pound can
lister of powder, laid train across the floor
Of room, lighted 1t, and knelt down over
the canister with her face touching it. In
a few seconds the explosion came. 1t did
not kill her, strange to say, but hurled her
out of doors and disfgured a portion OF
her face. Friday representative of Truth
saw her. "Yes, have been cured in ans
wer to prayer" she said simply. ~ am
rational now. See here is the mark of the
wound made by the explosion" Mrs. Bar
rington herself has no doubt OF the gen
uineness of her cure, Bubalo Truth.

Closing scenes Of the campaign and
enthusiasm holding full sway. George w.
Sterner and Francis Heck addressed large
and enthusiastic democratic meeting at
Bendertown last Wednesday evening. The
school house was crowded to its utmost
capacity and scores could not enter to find
even standing room. The issues OF the
tariff were fully and ably discussed and
some got their eyes opened and voted &C.
cordingly. The New Columbus band en-
livened the occasion with excellent music.
A large and handsome hickory pole be-
tween 70 and 100 feet in length was raised
at the forks between Barthol Kearhoof and

Bad silver Dollars.
DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT CIRCULATED IN
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA.

The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette says
The counterfeit silver dollar has again
made its appearance in some of the towns
OF Pennsylvania, near the New York state
line, and also just within the counties
along the boundaries of that state. United
States Detective McSweeney left for the
upper oil country on Saturday, but he re-
fused to talk about the object of his mission
to the locality. He acknowledged that
counterfeit coin was being circulated in
various parts of the state but he would not
state whether he had any knowledge of the
identity of the persons who we're making
and circulating the bogus money. He said,
however, that highly important develop
ments might be expected in about two
weeks.
1t was learned from another source that
Chief Bell, Of the secret service department,
had detailed four men to look after num-
ber of Pennsylvania counterfeiters who
were circulating bogus silver dollars In
Buffalo, Erie, jamestown, N. Y, Cory,
Pa, Oil City, and among farmers who re.
sided in the vicinity Of these towns and
cities. The counterfeit, it is said, is the
finest ever turned out of an illegal mint in
| this country. 1t is the exact weight, per
fectlY moulded, and could only be distin
guished from the genuine by experts. The
| greasy appearance so apparent in othel
| bogus coins is absent in the latest issue.
These CONS are differently dated, bu
they are both OF the same issue. Tit
change in dates was done for the purpose
of more readily deceiving trades people
The factory where this dangerous queer IL
turned out is supposed to be in the neigh
borhood of Girard, Pa, but on this poin

We we're never so well fixed

Never so many to show--sorts

Take Black Silk-Warp Hen
riettas, the best (Priestley's OF
course). Ask for any number
in the long line. Where else
can all of them be had? If you
have a silk-and-wool in mind,
get the best. It's cheapest in
the long run. Any best, so
long as you pay for quality, is
cheapest; doubly true of a silk
and-wool. These choicest
Henriettas are made of strictly
pure silk and the very finest
quality Australian wool. They
go in the natural gray to the
dye-vats and come out black ol
a uniform shade.
A new feature in these Hen.
riettas are SO and 76 inch
widths for Cloaks, Wraps and
Shawls. They match the dress
goods exactly in shade.

ira heavy warp made for oui

AT the preachers meeting in Danville

At the preachers meeting In Danville,
Pa, few weeks ago circular letter was
read and endorsed by all the preachers, ad-
dressed to the Bishop of the A. M. E. Zion
church calling his attention to the demora-
lizing and Sabbath desecrating institution
called camp meeting, held every year at
Rupert, mostly in the interest OF few
white men and the railroad company. The
letter was read before the conference and
the Bishop denounced such so called camp
meetings and pronounced against holding
any more meetings at the above named
place. Certainly the whole Christian COM
munity should say amen.

Divide the Voting Districts.

There are about twelve hu udred voters
registered in Bloomsbury. This indicates
a population Of 60O0, as against $500 In
1880, which shows how rapidly the town is
growing, and also proves the necessity for
more polling places. There were 947 votes
cast on Tuesday, and the election boards
did not get through with the count unit
long after midnight. No district should
contain over 300 voters, and less number
would be still better. Four polling places
in Bloomsbury would not be too many, ant
the necessary steps should be taken tC
divide the present districts.
