The new uniforms for Co. /, will

ALL the best home talent is en-
gagged for the presentation Of Among
the Breakers"
The neatest delivery wagon which
we see on the streets is the trim
vehicle with 'sVictor Mills Co." in
scribed on its side. 1t is a beauty
and we hope it will have plenty to
do.
"RArNBow teas" are inviting the
attention of church people in many
places just at present. They appear
to be a popular method of raising
money, SO some of our exchanges
say.
An Ellington man saw advertised
"a sure cure for drunkenness" He
forwarded the necessary dollar ard
received by return mail, written on a
valuable postal card in beautiful
violet ink: "Don't drink"
IT is said that that crowd ofvaea-
bonds who were formerly terror to
the chicken raiser has about disap-
peared from Morgantown. A man
can now count the same number of
chickens in the morning he had the
night before.
A CHEAP town hall is better than no
town hall. The surging mass Of
seatless, restless, comfortless mar
tyrs at Academy hall last Thursday
night attest this fact. The affair
was too good to be spoiled to many
the way it was.
The orchestra recital at the M. E.
church on Monday evening was quite
a creditable performance The pro-
gram consisted of 10 numbers, with
two solo numbers, manly, flute, by
James Burley, and vocal by Miss
Jessie Dent, both of which we're
warmly received and called back on
encore. A good audience was pres
ent. These public concerts are to
be monthly.
E. Prices new brick house on the
Spruce street extension is one of the
prettiest in town and so situated
that a cycloramic view of all the adj
jacent country is obtained. The ex-
tension includes a great many de-
sifable building sites on each side Of
TIE street. Take all the little sta
15les and manure piles off that street
and it will become the prettiest resi-
dence street in the town.
The members of Co. met at their
armory last Friday night and were
sworn into the service for a period
of five years by Lieut. Col. Fast, of
the First Regiment. The recruit
drills will take place on Thursday
of each week and all members will
be expected to be present, and on the
last Thursday night of each month
there will be dress parade. After
this orders for the company will be
bulletined in the armory as all will
be there on each Thursday evening
and can read the orders and can
have no excuse for not seeing them
The election of non commissioned
officers has not yet taken place.
The SHOP warming" which the
friends of Sam Pickenpaugh intend
to give him, which was mentioned
in these columns as on the tapis, is
to come off next Friday evening
The youthful, beautiful, rich, poor
and all other of his good friends are
to assemble at his building ON the
evening mentioned and mirth, melo-
dy and merriment will hold full sway
till the tiny hours. The affair will
be delightful. Devotees of Terpsi-
chore will find abundant opportuni-
ty for tripping the light fantastic on
the lower floor, while above other SO
cial diversions will progress in a
manner thoroughly swell. The affair
will begin at 1880 sharp.
ONE of the most peculiar speci-
mems of natural freaks has been on
exhibition at the Farmers store since
Monday. 1t is a dog haired rabbit.
1t head, body and tail are like the
rabbit in form, but it is covered with
long, curly, grayish hair, coarse like
a dogs or VOLTS, 1t is certain that
such a peculiar animal was never be-
fore seen or heard of, as it clearly
shows itself to be either a hybrid or
a freak of nature, and which no one
can positively show. AS many are
of the opinion that it is a cross be-
tween dog and rabbit as are of the
opinion that it is the result of a
scare to the dam while in pregnancy.
DR.. Hartigan will use his taxider-
mist skill on this no-name subject
and place it in the University mu-
scum.
One of the most amusing and
novel entertainments there have been
this season will be the progressive
conversation" to be held at the home
of Mrs. Moorhead on Thursday ev-
ening, Dec. II. A description of
this pleasing mode of enjoyment was
recently given in this paper and all
our people now understand the ma
ture of it and will attend. A list of
topics will be announced, and they
embrace subjects not too profound
for the youth nor too simple for the
sage, so that the chances for persons
of all ages and degrees of mental
culture to talk will be unlimi-
ted. The admission fee will be 10
cents and the proceeds are for the
benefit of the Presbyterian church,
in fact, it is but another form of
mite society. A prize will be award
ed to the gentleman who receives
the most votes as the best converse
tionalist, ladies only to vote. 1t
will be most enjoyable affair and
none should miss it.
SOME say that the third boat which
will soon be put on the river will run
from here to Greensboro to connect
with the regular packets, others say
that all three of the boats will run
regularly through from Pittsburgh
here, while still others are of the
opinion that the extra boat will run
from Pittsburgh to Brownsville to
attend to the freight along that part
Of the route, thus giving the through
packets nothing but the upper trade
to attend to. The last is the most
plausible and probable theory. If
