WANTED.

The room in which the post. Office
is located has undergone an overhaul
ing this week, and is greatly improved
in appearance and general conven.
fence. The walls have been newly
papered, new floor laid, and the of.
flee fixtures moved forward toward
the front door, thus making much
more room for the postmaster, and
still leaving an abundance of space
for all those who have business there.
Mr.. Writ mas purchased the boxes and
fixtures, and the probabilities are that
the post Office is now permanently To-
Gated.
AS soon as the tearing out began
Mr.. Writ was given a great amount
of gratuitous advice as to how the
work should be done, and he became
aware that there were a large number
of people in town who know just how
a post Office should be arranged. Not
wishing to slight anybody and in order
that all his friends and the public in
general might have an opportunity to
favor him with what they know about
carpenter work and papering and
painting in general, and about post
Offices in particular, he posted a no.
tice on the wall which read as follows:
"Any information as to how this
room shall be repaired or arranged,
will be very acceptable"
This thoughtfulness on his part was
highly appreciated by all those who
are ever ready to give advice TO any
one who Is erecting a building or
making other improvements, and, with
the assistance thus obtained, Mr.. Writ
was enabled to complete the job in
very satisfactory manner. He has not
yet authorized us to publish his card
of thanks.

THE POWER OF FLATTERY.

This magic power is most clearly
demonstrated when the glib-tongued
sharper who understand this human
weakness promises, for instance, to
write up years and years of flattering
personal history for the business man,
and to put it in print in some paper
abroad for his personal circulation at
home. The charge is high or low
just as the victim takes the bait and
buys the papers. Of course the dupe
has not the least expectation of bene-
fitting the duped, nor does he expect
to get ahead or around the correct bu-
sness record of the victim, which he
knows is carefully kept by CONNER
cial agencies abroad and by his friends
at home.
In view of the gullibility of many,
and the deceptions frequently prac-
ticed upon them, we deem these OBJ
servations timely. All such ventures
with nomadic strangers are apt to take
money from home, and for which com
paratively nothing is gotten in return.
This town has been written up a
number of times by strangers who have
come with plausible propositions, and
each time the patrons have found
themselves duped at the end of the
transaction, and many have resolved
not to do it again. But the next time
similar bait is thrown out they swal-
low it just the same, and always with
the same result-that is, they are out
of pocket SO many dollars for which
they have received no value. Men
who make a scientific business of ad.
vertising profitable are never found
patronizing these catch-penny schemes.

AN AGED CITIZEN DEAD.

John Carey, and aged and respect
ed citizen, of White Hall, died at his
home April sd, 1894, aged SO yrs. 7
mo. 22 days.
Mr.. Carey was lifelong resident
OF this community. In his earlier
days he worked at the tailor trade,
and was considered one of the best
workmen. He was familiar with the
local history Of the surrounding coun-
try. He delighted in relating remini-
cences of the past when game was
abundant Many a modern sports
man who has listened to him as he
has related his experience with the
gun, has been made to feel that he
was born too late for the greatest of
cunning sport.
Mr.. Carey leaves wife, one son
and one daughter, Mrs. John Welliver,

Everyday accidents and howto meet
them," was the theme of DR., Craydon's
lecture in the Y. M. c. A. hall on the
evening of the 9th inst. He talked
to a we!l-hlled hall and an apprecia-
tive audience. Good music for the
occasion was furnished by the Normal

Mr.. Stauffer, and Prof. Aldinger; the
latter rendering a vocal solo that elici,

by the other participants in the musi-

DEATHS HARVEST.

DIR. Edward M. Jacoby died at the
the home of his mother on Iron street
last Friday night after protracted and
painful illness. He had been practicing
dentistry in Columbus, Ohio, and had
an excellent practice and bright pros
poets, when he was attacked with can
Ger on the tongue, with fatal result.
A few weeks ago, when he had gwen
up hope of recovery, he came back to
Bloomsburg, as he said, todie in his
old home. His wife and three children
arrived soon afterward.
He went to Philadelphia and visited
several hospitals, but was told that
nothing could be done for him, and he
returned home, and continued to grow
worse until death ended his suffering.
1t was feared that he would die Of
strangulation, but when the end came
il was apparently painless, and his life
went out without a struggle.
He knew that his hour had come,
and told his sister that he was dying.
He was member of the Episcopal
Church, and he died with full faith in
his Master. His age was thirty-six
years and twenty three days.
He was a son of the late Enos.
Jacoby, and besides his wife and three
children, his mother and two sisters,
Mrs. Peirce Foulk and Mrs. Shaw, all
Of Bloomsburg, survive him. The fun,
eral took place on Monday morning at
ten o'clock, and was conducted by
Rev. w. C.. Leverett.

CHANGED HIS BUSINESS.

VIM. Leverett Esq, has filled the
position of Manager of the Brad
street Company at Wilkes Barre for
the past two years. On Monday, the 2nd
inst. ne was very much surprised to
receive letter dismissing him from
that position, and assigning him to a
position at Binghamton, New York,
at reduced pay. Mr.. Leverett did not
accept this place, and in few hours
after his discharge he was offered a
position as book keeper and financial
manager for the large provision house
of w. M. Miller & Co., and accepted
it. Much indignation was expressed
by the business men of Wilkes Barre,
and they voluntarily signed testimon-
lal as to Mr.. Leverett's courtesy and
ability, and as to his loyalty to his
employees. No one has been able to
ascertain any cause for his discharge,
and the only reason that can be
guessed at, is that some one who had
"pull" with the company wanted
place for friend. The papers spoke
with one voice on the matter.
The Wilkes Barre Leader said:
"The many friends of VIM. Leverett
will regret to learn of his removal as
Superintendent of the Bradstreet
Co.'S Office in this city. Mr.. Leverett
has been with the company for over
two years, and during thai time has
been a hardworking, painst aking man,
thoroughly loyal and faithful to the
interests of the company as well as of
the business community in general Ill
this section.
He has given such efficient service
to the subscribers that many of them
have protested against Ris removal,
and joined In signing recognition of
the general satisfaction he has always
given. 1t is hoped that he will find
position in this city where he will be
more appreciated and remain in
Wilkes Barre"
The fol owing appeared in the
Wilkes Barre column of the Scranton
Republican,:
"Mr. William Leverett, who came
here from Scranton with the Brad
street company, was yesterday sur
prised by note from that company's
headquarters announcing his dismissal
and requesting him to turn over the
business and Office to successor. He
was not more surprised that the
patrons of the Bradstreet company
here, all of whom, without a known
exception, testify to the competency
and courtesy of Mr.. Leverett. That
it is no reflection upon his integrity, is
shown by the offer, in the same note,
of a subordinate and yet responsible
position in the same company in an
other locality. His friends here, and
all who know him, are almost indig-
nant over the affair. Testimonials to
his acceptableness as a manager are
being voluntarily rendered by those
who have done business with the COM
pany during his two years manage
ment. No cause is assigned for the
removal, and for the very best of rea-
sons, there is none except such as
would doubtless compromise the
company by its announcement. Mr..
Leverett's Scranton friends will be
equally surprised and chagrined at his
sudden retirement from his position"
The other papers spoke in the same
way. Mr.. Leverett's friends here will
be glad to know that he was out of
employment but six hours, thus show
ing that there are people IN Wilkes
Barre who can appreciate him, if the
Bradstreet Company did not.

an electric road. A company has
been organized there for the purpose
of building one six miles long. This

that Bloomsburg has not yet got. But
already the air is full of whispers
about the matter, and sooner or later,
no doubt, the mystic but powerful
force will be utilized here also.
