EAST BENTON.
IN AND AROUND PLYMOUTH.

Business and pleasure for once con-
spired to make us happy. Week ago
last Thursday we delivered load of
potatoes to "Shupp's Bee Hive" Ply
mouth, Pa. and Immediately thereafter
sought rest and refreshments at John
SCOTS, formerly citizen of Catawissa.
Grouped around about him we found
Nathan Costabader and Mrs. Sarah
and Mrs Anna Cooper, sisters who mar
ried brothers and who lost four child
rem last winter in consequence of
malignant form of measles, all of whom
were bur led in Roaringcreek, we be-
lieve. We also here met John Q.
Creveling Esqr. and his estimable
lady. This gentleman and lady have
a bright future before them. Walking
on Main street in company with John
Scott at night, we were grabbed by
the arm and hurried into large and
we'll furnished apartment and it was
quite considerable length of time be-
fore we recognized ex.County Super
intendent ]. S, Grimes, of Columbia
County, who is now engaged in teach
ing in that town. We put up our team
in c. L. Nagers livery and to our as
tonishment we saw the stable decorat-
ed, onlamented and festooned with
evergreens on a large scale, and wond-
ering what occasion manifested such
display, was informed that on the
following Monday was the beginning
Of the "Great Army Fair" when Gov.
Pattison would be there to open the
"Fair." Hon. c. w. Shonk and w.
G. Emo Esqr. had gone to Harrisburg
to make prepatory arrangements with
the Governor for the opening of the
fair. We quote the following from the
Stirmisher.
"FoR VISITING SOLDIERS"
"The ninth and Thirteenth Regi-
ments will proceed after the parade
each day to the Peoples Theatre,
where an ample repast will be served
by the Refreshment Committee in
charge of Corporal c. l.. Nagle." The
Armory is spacious building, appar-
emily in dimension 45x1oo feet on
foundation, and great preparations
were being made to make the fair a
round success. The interior of the
armory beggars description, but hun
dredS of both sexes were at work in
the various departments assigned to
them by the respective committees.
What We saw of it evinced the assump-
ton that the "Soldiers' Fair" would
prove the most brilliant and dazzling
affair that was ever witnessed in the
town of Plymouth. Every body was
elated over the prospect of the coming
week. One word for Chauncey Nagle
he is a livery man with first class &C
Commodations and as accommodating
and clever as any one may wish to
meet. Any one wishing accommoda-
tons in his line will do we'll by calling
upon him. Our trip to Plymouth was
hard one but we were we'll repaid
for making it. Yet we would prefer
being there during the fair.
In speaking of Mrs. Sarah and Mrs.
Anna Cooper, the former lost three
children and the latter one child The
Coopers, Costabader and Scott are
relatives of ours.

Just Fun Enough to Teleeraph.

He was tall, goodlooking man. says the
Oregontdn, with regular features, but he was
awfully drunk. He came from the east a few
days ago and registered at an uptown hotel
Immediately he went on a tear, " The clerk,
$500 gold watch and about 8 900 in currency
and locked them in the coin box for safe keep
ing. This happened while the fellow was about
half sober. Then he went off and imbibed
some more, and when he strolled into the hotel
office few hours later he was able to see the
clerk, but that was about all.
II want to send a telegram to my wife, " he
began.
Have you the money to pay for it," asked
the clerk.
No. You have my money in the safe and
you pay for it."
Indeed, will not" returned the clerk.
Then followed a noisy wrange between the
clerk and the fellow, which the after broke off
abruptly, and, putting his thumbs in the arm
holes OF his vest walked about the corridor and
told the occupants of the chairs what a shame
1t was that man could not telegraph to his
wife; that she was a peculiar woman, and
would not come west with him; that he was a
weak man, and could not keep sober unless she
was with him. This of course, amused the
listeners. This went on for twenty minutes
Then the man returned to the desk in a more
pacific mood, and the clerk accommodated him.
After great deal of talking the telegram was
finally written aud here it is:
PORTLAND, April 16-Mrs. -, Chicago H.:
Arrived safely to-day. but am as,full as an Irish
mans goat. JACK"
The answer came yesterday, and was short
and sweet 1t follows:

to-day. MARY"

Anna's Rsappearance.

Annals Dickinson'5 temperance on the
/ lecture platform was not a success. II was
/ a dismal, disastrous failure. and her friends
| now wish, probably, that she had been left
/ in the insane asylum. According to our
/ dispatches yesterday portions Of her lecture
were Of such a character that many women
left the lecture hall, and other portions were
unintelligIble.
Those who had Miss Dickinson placed in
an asylum evidently acted from the best of
motives. Some of the busybodies, however,
insisted that she was the victim of a great
outrage, and procured her release. These
busybodies ought to be compelled to take
care of her. They will be the first, how
ever, to give her the cold shoulder.
There was time when Miss Dickinson
was power in the country. Shs was an
interesting and very Elective M lie
speaker, and all classes of people in the
north aud west listened to her with pleasure.
And she was in great demand as u lecturer
She earned a great deal OF money, and be-
fore she acted upon the foolish suggestion
to become an actress she was a rich wo-
man.
Perhaps the beginning of her insanity was
when she left the lecture platform for the
stage. She was a failure as an actress, and,
in one way and another, she lost her for
tune. Being wreck mentally and finan-
cially she became a terror to those with
whom she lived, particularly TO her sister,
And it looks as if it wers her purpose to
be troublesome to Gen. Butler, who was led
out of Judge Carpenters court room in
Boston by deputy marshal the other day.
In her lecture she said that the general had
written her letters in which he called her
Lizzie" and that she intended to hold him
responsible for his impertinence. Between
Judge Carpenter aud Miss Dickinson the gen
eral stands Il pretty good chance to have a
hard time of it.
Miss Dickson will hardly be permitted to
deliver another lecture. If she has any
friends left they will see to it that she does
not make another public exhibition of her
mental condition.
