ED. JOURNAL & ITEM: On a certain
cv. ning hist week, the stage from Port |
Allegany left at one of the stores in
ti wn a iinall box addiess d to t e linn.
Win n a little hss busy, the eh rk opened
it and took out a very tine si!v r cream
cup. One of the proprietors su ing it, <•'
told him to j nit it bark and close tlie j
box, reiiuuking "we will hear more
froin this." Last evi ning word was
given tiuit sa.id box was to be delivered
to J. W. Allen, Esq., Co. Supt., and it
was sent to his house. The messenger
found Mr. Allen going to his barn,
called iiiin back and told him he had a
b< x for him. Mr. Allen said, "will. I
will set it down here by the fence and
take it to Hie house when I come from
tlie barn." The young man suggested
that it might be a little valuable.
"Well," lie says, "I will take it to the
house now." The in- sse ng. r accompa
nied him and when the box was opened
a very nice silver te.;-S' t came to light. :
The set consisted of four pieces: a tt a-
P< t. creamer, sugar-bowl and slop-bowi.
On one side rf each piece was t ng. avi d:
"To Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Allen" and
on the reverse side: " Prom the Teacla rs
of Potter County, October is, 1873."
Mr. and Mrs. Allen expressed their.sur
prise more by looks and actions than by
words. They said they w. re very'giati -
fill, and Mr. Allen remarked he did not j
know what he /en/ or had <>> t done to
cause this. Your corn spoi d. lit sug
gested that most likely what lie had not
done was the cause. Yours,
M ESSE N OUR. :
ON* Saturday morning last F. W.
Plagem.m, of Ivihl M V ill-, arose and
built a tire, after which he returned to
his bed while his wife prepared the
breakfast. When uivakfast was ready, 1
Mrs. Plageman sent one of the diildren |
to call her husband, when he was found j
lying on the floor in front of the lied — :
dead. lie had apparently arisen to j
dress himself and fallen dead to the
floor. Mr. Plageman w;is a tanner and \
well known in till this section of coun
t ry.
/ lb üben Card, Sr., one of the oldest j
settlers of this county, died in Roulct ]
on Friday or Stit unlay last.,/We have|
not heard the exact jKirtictdars, but it J
is reported that he worked until three j
o\ lock on Friday afternoon and died
t; at night or the next morning.
And still another: On Friday, Oct.
31. U73, in Bingham died Charles X.
Woods, ag* d 86. lie was one of the
first to s I tie in Bingham township.
THE Blossburg r tells this sto
ry of "Dutch Iov:" "A young Teuton
, of this place recently brought home his
fair bride, n sph ndent in a true-blu*
-uit. but t; e sober second thouglit ot
it'ie expeiisivcm ss of such a luxury in
duced 1-tin to offer her heart and I'iii.d
to a fellow countrymati who bails from
Potter county; and "Barkis being wil
ling." li-iy re]iaired to the house of a
Herman learned in t! e law. w oda w
up a <[!< /-• n't.i '/•-/• /, ai d for a con.siib r
atiou of live d diars, tw. lity live cents
, down and an approv il note for the bal
ance), the lady transferred her affec-
1 1ions to the gay Lothario and retired
with him to her new home."
Y
Wr; hid an idea that this y< ar, owing
to the ravages of TIII ugly worm, there
was not a cabbage of rese ctable s Z" in
Potter county. We attended the fail
of tlie agricultural society and then
was not one on exhibition. Judge then
of our sui prise when Mark (Jillon, Esq..
the tailor of the "little shop around the
corner, '* presented us with two its tine
| heads of cabbage as we l ave seen for
years. Maik says they are tailor's cab
bages, which perhaps accounts for their
1 size.
THE following, lrotn the Trumans
liurg Sentiml is to tlie point: Do the;
city papers say anything in regard to!
your own county V Nothing. Do they j
contain notices of your schools, church- j
ts. lie 11 ings, impi ov un nts, and himd |
nds of other local matters of interest, j
v. hich your pajjers publish without ]>av'( j
Not an it m. Do they ever say a wo'id j
calculated to draw attention to your
count v alid its numerous thriving towns i
and aid in tin ir progrt ss and enterpris*'( \
Not a line. And yet there are tnui who
take such con ti acted views of this liiiit
ter, that, unless they are getting as
many square inches of reading matter j
in tin ir own paper is they do in a city j
pa|>er. they think they are not getting
the worth of their money. This re j
minds us of the person who took the
largest pair of boots in the box simply j
bet ause they cost the same as the pan j
much smaller that tilted him.
WE SAW a ring formed by a numlier !
of.boys and two little fellows inside of j
the sajue pommeling each other lustily j
one day last wetk. While wegs.ztd in
wonder, one of the teachers of the
gnuh d school appearr d upon the set lie
and in less than two minutes not a boy 1
was to lie seen. We don't know which
whipiK'd.
TIIE Jamestown House, Jamestown,
N. Y., is one of the liest appointed and ;
l>est conducted hotels with which we are
acquainted. It is kept by our old friend,
Walt Joy, formerly traveling agent for
an extensive house, who appears just as
much at home in the reception room as
111 H >ii the road. His partner, Mr.
Chamberlain, is also a gentleman of the
tirst water, and we advise all of our
friends who have occasion to visit Jaua s
town, to make the acquaintance of the
propi it-tors of the Jamestown House.
Mr. Joy has many friends in this sec-'
tion who will le pleased to hear of him
through the above item froui the Olean
Strni-Weekly Times. '
M ELLSBORO was visited by a large
fire on Thursday morning, October ~3.
The block from the Wellsboro Hotel
I (including the same) to Crafton Street
j was entirely destroyed. A large share
of the contents of the buildings was
saved. It was undoubtdly the work of
:m incendiary, as the floor of the build
ing where the fire was firßt discovered
was saturated with coal oil. It is a
mere matter of time as to when our
j block from Second to Third stret ts on
Main will go, but we IIOJK? it in. y not
j lit' from the kar.d of an incendiary.
OF ALL the daily papers that come to
our table, we like none better than the
Buffalo K i rtss and Klmira .1- /rer.
For excellence in making tit) the tele
graphic news of tie day and what we
i would style completeness with brevity
the A'ln rt'.siy has no stqierior and few
i equals. But for able, spicy ai d risrlit
tn-tlie-point editorials give tis tlie B iff
alo E:jtie>.-\ Vv'hoever is the editorial
writer of that paper, he has achieved the
rare talent of dealing with his subject
directly and making ev-ry sentence
count, without disagreeable vi otiosity
or tiresome Immhast. Altliough pnii
lished in anotherstate, we find il ;i more
welcome visitor than any of our Penn
sylvania dailies.
We takegrottt pleasure in lieartilyen
dmsing the above from the McKcan
M<ui r. This locality is fortunate in
being within reacli of two as good daily
p:'.pers as the two named above.
THE bridge across the Oswayo at

I'lielps, a pair of horses, a wagon and a

lle began by lighting;! candle, talking,
meanwhile, of its merits. Charles Lamb
wrote one of his finest essays on Hit
nimble tsdlow-eai.tlle. The one on Hit
table n mil tit tl the speaker of the times
w en lie went "boarding round." lit
brought it out to illustrate the first topic
of his lecture:
'J'he itit.l of frcxh air. —The earth is
cl >thcd more beautifully than any bride
for tlie akar. Around and above is the
atmosphere, so delicate that we see all
this beauty through it and yet so strong
t. at JIS to come in dying winds, sweep
ing away impurities; it conies to our
doors ami windows and says, "let me in."
in liltle rooms, seven by nine, many hu
man D ings spend eight hours out ol the
; twenty-four. The doors and windows
are often corked to shut out the sweet
1 air. No wonder the morning finds them
' with dull headaches. Such places are
j living graves, where the inmates die by
I inches.
The candle was then placed in ajar
: containing gases, where it was instant
ly extinguished—not enough oxygen be
ing iui nishid to support tlie flame. The
; same was true when the jar was filled
witii breath from the lungs. We have
no right to ask others to breathe the air
i that we have thrown awav. It is like
going from Broadway down into the
slums —tlit re disease is in the air; first,
thick lit juledness, then the worst of all
fevers creeping on lazily but fatally.
There are days when the air is dull,'
children in the school-room are dull; let
i in the fresh air and tliey brighten up
: wonderfully.
lu-od.- The seal is the appropriate
food of the North; it is only frozen fat.
We who live iu a tenqierate climate can
not hear too much fat meat; it induces
I diseases of the skin. The scholar and
| tliii kiT n quires lighter food than the
laborer. Americans take too little time
I for eating. The speaker had seen a
traveler at a railroad station, taking his
pie :it a mouthful; if he laid lsmglit a ;
cracker for si cent and eaten it properly
it would have been more nourishing.
Cookery is a necessary art; it belongs
to civilization. He liatl read "Lt>! the
poor Indian, etc.," and thought it sub
lime, but all sentiment vanished when
lie saw them preparing a woodchurk for
a least. They are called a liardv nice.
It is false, since only a few* attain to
years of maturity.
Clotiiimj. —The human system, espe
1 cially in our climate, needs protection.
J One sets chilled through by the lake
breezes, in the west, and the blood loses
its vitality. Tie sp< nicer •. ve his expo
! lit nee in " boai'diii? round,*' \vheu he

|so much of Ids life forev r. The <•!.• st
: and arms should be warmly el; d. If
the circulation is inipi d -d t!ie hands and
feet are cold. This is oftt n the n suit
of snug dressing. The present is an
improvement upon the past. Formerly
even men wore long, tight-fitting vests
I that prevented the expansion and con
traction of the lungs. Boots and shoes
. should be large that they may be warm.
Heart disease is sometimes induced by
| cold feet, the blood being crowded back
upon it. A lecturer, speaking upon the
: evils of tight dressing, closed Ins lec
ture preinatun ly iiecansc of the pair of
No. 8 feet in No. 0 boots.
Street sweeping is ail evil in dress. A
lady might be followed by her trail in
; the dust of tie streets. Dress should
! be warm, strong and easy.
Another source of health is exercise.
Tliis should not be too violent. Over
work is as bad as under-work. The
brain depends for its vigor upon the
health of the body. If one wotil 1 have
n mind enduring, cheerful and active,
j he must watch for the health of the
1 body.
After Prof. Jones. Superintendent
Curry was intn dueed to the audience.
i We regret that we can give few of the •
| thoughts and nothing of the language i
| that rendered his speech strong and vig- i
■ ' irons. The subject was K iucalinn — i
i Gain-ill (hid Special. The distinction 1
is the same as that of pure and mixed j
j mathematics. The former is abstract, |
' disciplinary,—'the latter is applied. Iron j
I is fust improvid in quality and though I
| not yet made useful it is adapted to
use—afterward it is fashioned to suit
I particular purposes. There is great
5 need of special education; one cannot do
i every thing, and what we do should be
done well, but general education lies at
| the foundation.
Tla re is plenty of work for those who
| can do it properly, while the inefiicient j
are loft i<lle. One pastry-co k command-1
d four thousand ay ear while hundreds (
! of others lack employment.
Success is the result of special prepa- >
ration. It is the real and not the would
; in- sculptor that leaves his name as a
heritage to his country —an honor to the
race.
Although the audience had listened
too long and too earnestly to get the full
hem lit of litis latter speech, yet the ma
jority seemed to value its sound instruc
tion.
The evening's entertainment closed
with two fine selections read by Mrs.
Martin: "Our Polks" and "Gape Seed."
'fur K-DAY, A. M. —Session opened by
Hi v. Mr. Stili s, with prayer.
Mr. Jones gave some instructions in
instructions in thee h in ntsof Drawing.
1-4 law—th arm should always be in ; j
jKisition at right angles to the line to be
drawn.ffaM —a measure should be adopt
ed—as he illustraU dindi aw ing the map
of Pennsylvania.
'i h' following question was offered
for so ution: llow many times did the
; artli revolve on its axis in the year 1 ->11':
\ —1 ft for eonsid ration.
I'd/. C'u -r/. —Tt is diiUjult to know
what method of instruction is best
adapted to a com jr.my of strangers. A
physician, of an original mind, filled a
jar with all sorts of medicines, and when
a new (lis; ase broke out, not knowing
w hat to select, he administered a dose
from the compound.
Supt. Curry was like the man who al
ways "said a few words before he began
to speak." He introduced his subject
by calling attention to the fact that
every fruit, every vt getable has its own
peculiar characteristics widen make it
what it is. So the individual—no mat
ter what he may assume. Tne true
reader of human natiue detects the
qualities of mind and heart that make
the character. What one really is. that
will have the control ing influence. He
who would mould other beings sholild
have a faultless character, almost.
It is always one's cdcal that controls.
1 The spring lis s no higher than its
source. So, men never supercede their
ideal; all action is only its outgrowth.
If we cherish no ideal we reach no dt fi
nite end. If it be low or wrong the re
sults of our work maybe unfortunate;
if right, the work may IH* glorious, no
matter how humble. The true ideal
must coincide with Nature: we cannot
work against her laws.
Suppose a machinist were to assume
that bodies fall from the centre of the
1 earth outward and make their machinery
| upon that supposition; it would fail.
So in teaching. A man may go to his
study and there manufacture a method
of his own. It cannot be a success un
less it lie according to Nature's plan,
j Page's theory of beginning with the
nearest locality, as the school-room or
play-ground, is unnatural. We get our
ideas from a logical whole. Childrt n
always observe the whole thing before
investigating the parts. An orange or j
a flower impresses them as an interest
ing whole before they are interested to
examine the seeds of tlie one, the leaves
and stamens of the other.
; After a necessary preparation in terms,
j relative distances, etc., Prof. Curry;
would begin the study of Geography
with a globe and give the child a con
ception of the whole roui d earth and of
its linivi uieuts through space. Theglotn*
gives an idea of convexity—the map, in
directly, of a fiat surface. We never
get rid of these impressions though we
know the earth to IH* a sphere. Tiiej
teacher should reason from the whole
to the parts ami illustrate all bus teach-
?
ing by something that will fix the eye
of the pupil while he explains. We rare
ly forget what we see and hear at the
s.ime time.
One instm-tnr, with nmch display of
learning, takes up the parts of some rare
foreign plant and talks eloquently of
their beauty or their office, but the class,
having never set u tli<- flower, get no com
ceptlon of it. Another,"with less cul
ture. up 1- " ts i: in t : eir presence. It is
pl< a sing—a thingof beauty—and it gives
them j<\v; they are eager to know more
of it. lie takes it to pieces, shows them
tla* uses of its organs and the relations
of each to the whole, and they compre
hend more of it than they would have

The Singer Machine Still Triumphant.
At the last Fair of the Potter County
Agricultural and Hortieultural Society,
i. Id at Coudersport Oct. 10, 1-73, tia
Singer took t ie first premium, with thi
ll owe and R lniugton Sewing Machines
opposing. The Singer was operated by
A M. Reynolds, the Howe by Loyste>
Bros, and the Remington hy tiie Agent
from Bingham.
Bt Iter than Gold.—A certain amount
of greenbacks, national or fractional
currency invested with C. 11. Simmons,
tiie Regulator man for dry goods, gro
ceries. boots and shoes.
p> * What poor short sited worms we be,
-—7x3 We kan't ka'.kilatc
With any degrco
Of sartantee
What's gwinc to be our fate."
We can calculate, however, with rea
sonable certainty on getting
Better Dumber Wagons,
Belter Carriages of all descriptions,
Better Sleighs,
Better Cutters,
Better Trimming,
Better Painting,
Better Horse-shoeing, and
Better Repairing of all kinds
At COLE'S Shop than any other place
in Coudersport or in the County.
/ 2C02-tf
Sheparil, at Simmons' Regulators,
says he will give a laboring man or lady
more goods for the same amount of mo
ney than any other man will in the Uni
ted States.
Don't forget that C. 11. Simmons, the
Merchant Prince of Wellsville, is yet in
trade larger than ever, and that his
twenty-five years' experience in this
market enables him to give his custom
ers the best goods and latest styles at
the lowest living rates. Be sure and
call and examine his stock, and be con-;
vinced that a dollar saved is worth two j
earned.
The SINGER is a lock-stitch machine :
and makes a beautiful, even and uniform
stitch which will not ravel and is alike
oil both sides. It hems, braids, cords,
tucks, embroiders, ruffles, fells and does
all kinds of work on the finest muslin or
the heaviest full-cloth.
The people come more and more tnC. j
11. Simmons' Regulator stores for dry
goods, clothing, groceries, boots and
shoes and everything that families use.
Their stock is large and also well suit
ed to customers as to price. Come one,
come all without delay and prove the ,
truth of what we say.
The Singer Still Triumphant.—At the
Vienna Exhibition the Singer received
flie Medal of Merit, the Medal of Pro
' gress, and three other Medals for siq>e
riority of productions. These are the
highest Sewing Machine A wards at Vi
enna- The Singer reei iv<d all tiie M d- j
als awarded to either of the competing
j -Machines, and two Medals more than :
* any other obtained. Then, in the name
. of truth, what is it that prompts people
( to claim recommendations for tiie Di
ploma of Honor? T e fact is no Diplo
ma of Honor lias been g.ven to any Sew-,
' ing Machine Company.

dealers an l flaying enormous prices.
; Mom y being scarce, they have seem
ingly all made a grand rush to the plaec
i where they get the greatest amount of
goods for the smalltsl amount of rnoii
jey. The popularity of this esta'olish

j is built on a solid foundation; one lum
: tired thousand dollars 1 .ng the* corner

might justly be called a savings bank
from the n umbers of dollars it bus saved
the people for the last ten years. From
its veiy infancy high prices have had
