For the Hospital.
The Lyric club of Scranton will. on

tertainment for the benefit of the Pitts
ton hospital, at Music Hall. The citi-
zens of Pittston, we believe, fully APP
preciate the philanthropic work of the
Hospital association, and will show
their interest in this most necessary
work. which tends to ease the suffer-
ings of the many who are injured when
attending to their labors at the mines
in this vicinity. The entertainment is
to be one of a preliminary course given
by the club prior to their anticipated
tour through the old country.
