Mr.. U. J. Campbell is still danger
ously i'll, but he is some better at the
present writing.

Miss Emma Dresher of Ringtown

Mr.. John BreiSch has been kept
very busy for the last several weeks
with his thresher. He has trac.
ton engine, and does things up in a
hurry.
Messrs. f. P. Grover and c. Min
singer went to Buffalo on Saturday to
buy some cattle. They expect to be
gone about week.
Among the number from this place
who took in the parade at Bloom on
Mondaynight, we noticed Messrs E. NJ, q,
Mauser, Geo. Shuman, Freas Bau-
man and J. w. Kclchner. who are all
fine adherents to the grand old demo
cracy.
The Espy ferryman seems to want
to accommodate himself, to detriment
of others, so people say. Perhaps he
only wanted to play campaign joke
on some whom he would not ferry
across after the parade, but we have
heard of such indifference on his
part before, and for the benefit of the
public we SO state it as we should
think it would not be very pleasant
thing to spend the time waiting and
hunting in the cold for ferryman
and then have to go some place else
to get across. The Stonytown ferry
man says he always ferries whenever
he hears the bell ring. Hurry up
with that bridge, then most of this
trouble can be saved.
Mr. ]. w. Kelchner expects to go
to Clearheld county on Thursday where
he will work at the trestling on new
railroad.

ST. PAUL'S PARISH NOTES.

Next Sunday is The beginning OF
Advent. The evening service will be
for the Sunday School, led by the sur
pllced choir 1t will commence at
seven o'clock.
Evening service hereafter will begin
at seven instead Of half past seven,
during the winter
Thanksgiving services we're held on
Thursday morning, and an appropriate
sermon preached by the Rector. A
collection was taken up for St. Luke's
Hospital, South Bethlehem.
A church decorator was here from
Philadelphia last week, and met the
Rector, and members of the com
mlttee on church decoration The
interior of the church has not been
touched in twenty two years, except a
little work on the chancel. 1t needs
attention badly. The roof leaks in
places, and the plastering inside is dis
colored in spots. 1t IS proposed to
do all needed repairing, and to paint
the interior throughout, and to put in
cushions and new carpet. When
this is done it will make the
entire property beautiful and com
plete. TO do this will require SI7oo.
There is now fund on hand of about
$500, so that it will be necessary to
raise 5000 more. The church has no
debt at present, and none will be re-
quired. Should this work be under
taken, 1t will require several weeks,
perhaps two or three months, to do it.
1t is hoped that it can be done by
May 1893, when the parish will cele-
brate the centennial anniversary of it's
admission into union with the Dioce-
san convention.
Boys who can read, between the
ages of 8 and I3. are wanted, who will
attend the. choir rehearsals on Thurs
day evenings and Sunday afternoons,
and learn to sing, SO that they can be
ready to fill vacancies as they occur.
The choir expects to give an en-
tertainment of some kind before
Christmas, to raise money to pay off a
debt still existing, arising from the
changes necessary in preparing for a
surpliced choir. 1t islexpected that the
Ladies' Guild room will be furnished

WILLIAM RICHTER TUBBs.

Buttew men in Columbia county were
better known than William X. Tubbs.
For ten years he was the proprietor Of
the Rupert Hotel, and from 1873 un-
til last May the proprietor of tie Ex-
change Hotel, Bloomsbury, and he
had hosts of acqualntances, and where
ever he was known he had friends.
On last Friday afternoon at four
o'clock he died, the result of hemor-
rhagcs of the lungs, and the announce
ment was received with universal re-.
gret. For several years he has suf-
fered from consumption, but his final
illness lasted only a few days. He
was married to Margaret Harman,
daughter of the late Samuel Harman
and sister of the late Jeremiah II.
Harman, in 1862, and only four weeks
ago he followed her remains to the
grave. In his affliction and illness he
was most kindly ministered to by
his sister.in-law, Mrs. +. J. Schrieb.
er, and his niece, Mrs. Lizzie Fulton,
and other friends, but his days were
numbered, and careful nursing and
medical skill could not avail. The
funeral services were held at the house
on Monday afternoon at a,3o, and
were conducted by Rev. p. A. He'll
man. A number of floral tributes
were sent in by relatives and friends.

Mr.. Tubbs age was 81 years. His
mother is living at Shlckshinny, but
on account of her advanced age, 81
years, was unable to attend the funer-
al. His sisters Mrs. II. M. Cor
don, also of Shickshinny, and her hus
band, and Mrs. John l Blair and her
husband, of Carbondale were present.
The subject of this sketch was a
man Of genial, whole-souled disposi-
ton, always ready to help the needy,
charitable to the poor, liberal to the
church, and in favor of every move
ment which in his judgment was cal
culated to benefit the community.
He has been President or director Of
more corporations probably than any
other man in the town. AS a friend
he was always valuable, and his word
could alwayss be relied upon. His
death is great loss to the community
and as the clods ratified upon his cas-
ket at the cemetery, many silent
tear was shed, and many a man felt
that the grave was closing over tried
and true friend and an honest man.
Peace to his ashes.

JAMIG0N CITY OLBJEDAND
JUBILEE.

On Saturday last the democrats of
Sugaroaf township celebrated the
Cleveland victory in a truly democrat
ic manner. Arrangements had been
made with the b. & S. X. X. to issue
excursion tickets for the round trip re-
turning after the parade. AS the
train pulled out from Bloomsburg we
noticed some of our prominent
democrats all aboard for Jamison,
Chairman Mercer, Hon. Judge keller,
Sheriff Mourey, Jno. X. Townsend,
A. l.. Fritz, T. b. Hanley, J. X. Sharp
less, II. Rhoades and others. Dele
cations were taken aboard at Light
street, Orangeville, Saltwater and Ben
ton. On the arrival of the train at
Jamison City the various delegations
were met by the Jamison City Band.
A hickory pole had just been raised,
standing one hundred and three feet
high being one the most handsome
hickory poles we have seen in many a
year.
The visitors were conducted to the
Hall and supplied with a bounteous
free lunch prepared by the Committee
and of which not less than five hun
dred must have partaken.
Among the many familiar faces we
saw there were the Fritzes and Hess.
es and Coles and Kiles and last but
not least Esquire Peterman, the old
standbys Of Sugarloaf democracy to-
gether with many Others.
The City presented truly patriotic
appearance. The stores and private
houses were gay with flags and Ian
terms, showing how heartily the citi-
zens had decided to celebrate.
AT 6 O'Clock there was grand
muster for the parade. Horsemen
began to arrive and torche, flashed in
all directions. The Benton Demo
cratic Club in uniform and torches,
headed by the Drum Corps formed
prominent feature in the procession.
John Hill, Esq, was marshal and
mounted on fiery steed he looked
resplendant in handsome scarf and
Cleveland hat, galloping to and fro
getting men and horses in line. At
last the procession started on the line
of march up Main street to German
town. The street was now one blaze
of red fire. Roman candles, together
with the Rockets red glare showed
how the Sugarloaf Democrats, young
and old, were rejoicing, in the great
victory Of the Democratic Party.
Ths procession having returned to
the Hall the speakers of the evening,
Messrs. Sharpless and Hanley deliv.
cred short addresses and reviewed the
late Democratic victory in clear and
concise style. After three cheers for
the speaker, the procession reformed
and marched down TO Central and
back.
One of the greatest sights We saw
was the illumination Of Proctor Inn
far up on the mountain side. The
Hotel looked fairy-like with each WIN
dow illuminated, the exterior of the
building decorated with flags, bunting
and japanese lanterns showed plainly
that mine host Hill is a Democfat of
the right kind
The democrats of Jamison City have
reason to feel proud of the celebration,
and great credit is due those gentle
men who took such an active part in
the arrangements. We saw among
others, Messrs. Flynn, Hill, Stedman,
Phleger, Sterner among the foremost.
Precisely at II o'clock the whistle
blew and all aboard was heard and in
a few minutes the train pulled out
and everybody felt like giving three
cheers COR Jamison City Celebration.

Democratic Jubilee,
A GREAT OUTPoURING OF THE VIC.
TORS.
THE TOWN ABLAzE WITH FIREWORKS.

d
The Democratic parade which was
announced for last Friday, was post.
poned on account OF the storm. until
Monday night. At that time it was
not much better, for it showed during
the day, and the streets were muddy,
and the weather was cold and damp.
but this did not deter the enthusiastic
Democrats from celebrating their vic.
tory. The town was crowded early in
the evening, people coming in from
every direction. fhc B. &, S. brought
down a special train of eight cars, all
filled, from Jamison City, Benton, Cen
tral, and all along the line, and many
drove in from the country, Berwick,
Lightstreet, Espy, Buckhorn, Catawissa,
all furnished goodly number bo.h of
paraders and spectators. Decorations
were profuse along the line of march,
many residences being resplendent with
lanterns and flags, Main street was
fairly ablaze. Nearly every business
house was Illuminated, and as the pro.
cession passed, red and green fires
were burned, rockets and Roman can
dies were shot off, and the street was
one lurd glare from end to end.
Bon-fres were kept going in front of l.
Maier's clothing store, and Flecken-
stine's Hotel. 1t would require too
much space to name all those who
illuminated 1t would include every
democratic house along the line, and
some republicans. The court house
made fine showing, and Prothonotary
Quick filled the air with rockets, can
dies and other displays from the bal
cony.
The parade formed on Market street
below Fifth, in the following order {:
Chief Marshals, DIR. r. c. Harter, c.

Ger, w. B. Taylor, Robert Mcbride,

red and blue lanterns Citizens Drum
Corps Catawissa Club fantasies (;
Carriages, decorated wagons, followed
by about $50 horsemen bearing torches.
The line extended from the depot to

started at 8 o'clock and came up
Market to Main, to East, to Eighth, to
Catharine, to Fifth, to Market, to
Third, to West, to Main, to East,
countermarching to Market, and dis
missed, lasting just one hour.
No accident occurred, and the de
monstratlon was great success. One
feature that attracted much attention
and afforded amusement, was a rooster
s feet high that walked at the head of
the procession. 1t mov.d its head
and tapped its wings. 1t came from
Lebanon for the occasion. and was
made by Anderson A. Seaman and
operated by Mart Mars, bo,h of that
place. Numerous transparencles
with appropriate lettering were scatter
ed through the line. Thus ended the
campaign IN Bloomsburg.

The Daily Nevs of Nanticoke
thus speaks of Prof William Noetling,
who was one of the instructors in the
monthly institute at that place last
Saturday. His subject was school
government.
''He prefaced his remarks with a
graphic description of the old time
schools when physical force was the
prime element in school discipline.
He showed why it was necessary to
use force in these schools because
then the pupil had total lack of in
terest in his work, School Govern.
ment IS more, vastly more, than meth
DDS of keeping order in the school,
room. 1t is an important part In the
education of the citizens who are to
rule this Republic in the coming
years.
Prof. Noetling showed the teachers
some of the means of securing good
school government. He said that the
teachers must first become acouaint.
ed with their pupils. A teacher
should be a good student of human
nature. She should be thoroughly ac-
quainted with the nature of every in
dividual child in her school. The
teacher should try to keep the pupils
busy for they will be less liable to be
mischievous. Prof. Noetling is an
interesting speaker and the teachers
enjoyed his address very much"
