Altogether, this winter will long remain in the memory, as one of the most severe, probably, most of us will ever experience. NOTICE. —The Committee appointed to pre pare business, for the consideration of the Brad ford County Teacher's Association, at its next meeting, have rejjorted the following Resolu tions. The Association, of which Rev. J. HEN BRICK, is President, and P. D. MORROW, Secre tary, will meet at Smithfield, iu the Hall of the Sons of Temperance, on Friday, the 23d inst., at 10 o'clock A. M. 1. Whereas, The law creating the offl.'o of County Su perintendent, acts unequally, inasmuch a-; it requires the Superintendents of largo counties ti> visit the schools and insect the teachers as frequently as iu small ones, where the number of schools is proportionality small, thereby giving the small counties greatly the advantage over the large ones: Hesotved, Therefore, that there ought to IK- in ea"h Township a school officer, whose duty it shall be to in spect teachers, and visit schools in his" respective town ship. either in connection with the County Superintendent or alone. 2. Resolved, That the study of written Arithmetic should not be commenced by the child, until he is of suf ficient age to perfectly understand, and fully appreciate the principles of the science, and it always should bo [ire ceded by a thorough drilling iu Intellectual Arithmetic. J. Resolved, That every teacher should be a subscriber for, and a constant reader of some educational periodical; also, that it is his duty to attend, if practicable, education al meetings, and in all other ways seek liis own improve ment in the subject to be taught. as well an the liest and most approved methods of teaching. 4. Resolved, That we respectfully, but most earnestly solicit the hearty co-ojieratiou of all the school Directors of the county, in carrying forward the great work of edu cating the rising generation. t>. Resolved. That teachers should be sufficiently ac quainted with Physiology and the laws of health, to be able to guard with care the health of those committed to their charge. {kajf" IV M. S. DOBBINS, formerly High .ShiTiff of the County of Bradford, and pretty general ly known throughout its borders, has taken the "Troy House," and now eaters for rather a different lot of boarders than those which claimed his attention while a resident of this place, He has had ample experience as a host, and we will guarantee that those who tarry with him will not go away dissatisfied. The following testimonial has been hand ed us by the County Auditors, which we pub lish as au act of justice to the persons iuteres- 1 led:— "The undersigned, Auditors of the County of Bradford, having finished their labors for the present year, feel that it is due to the Com missioners of said County, that they should tes tify to the economy and prudence with which they have conducted the public business, as is j abundantly shown by the diminished expendi-, tares during the past years, and the large ' amount now remaining in the Treasury, afford-' ing the tax-payers a certainty of reduced taxes. ' They have also been much gratified by the correctness with which the accounts of the County have been kept by the Commissioner's Cierk. E. M. FARRAR, aud the promptness aud fidelity with which he has transacted the re sponsible duties of his position." CULLEX F. NICHOLS,) . r , JONATHAN BUTTLES ) Auuitor ~" j Towanda, January 30, 1855. MUSICAL CONVENTION. —The Musical Con vention which commenced at this place on Tues- j day last, under direction of Prof. BRADBURY, was very well attended, considering the unfa vorable state of the weather. Those who have been in attendance have been highly pleased with the exercises, and will doubtless acquire much useful information. MEETING OE OLD SETTLERS. —A meeting of the Pioneers of the Susquehanna Valley, and their descendants, will beheld at the Ah-wa-ga House in Owego, on Thursday the 22d of Feb ruary. Several of these re-unions have already been held to the great enjoyment of the parti cipants. We anticipate for the coining one, an attendance equal to the interest of the subject, and that its proceedings will be worthy of the . fair and fertile country whose early hist try is connected with so much of romance. Several "of those are expected to be present, who first settled in this region, when it was the favorite hunting ground of the red man, and of whose trials and dangers and sufferings their descen dants can have but a feeble conception. Their j presence will lend an additional interest to the ! occasion, while from their experience much in format ion may be gained of the early history of the country watered by the Chemung and the j Susquehanna.

LEGISLATURE. —We do not find anything of : local interest in the proceedings of the Legis lature, beyond the offering of petitions and re i monstrances concerning the proposed county of j " Fairfield." i THE FEMALE LIQUOR RIOTERS IN OHIO. —We, stated a few days a -to that several females at ; Mt. Ph rasant, Ohio, had been engaged witli | several men in mobbing a man in that place,' for selling liquor. The Cincinnati Gazette! ' says:— "The rioters, about thirty of whom were fe i males, forcibly entered the premises, and eom -1 menced their work of destruction. Mr. Laboy taux. who had charge of the property, but who was starting for another load, heard of the at tack on his house, and hastened to the scent; of riot. As he was entering the door, a female raised an axe over his head, and would have felled him to the ground had he not caught her arm and threw her to one side. lie was then caught by persons of both sexes, and beat and dragged through the liquor, which was six in ches deep on the floor, back to the door, thro' which he was ejected into the street. Laboy tnux, not liking "the hands he had fallen into," finally made good his escape. The rioters con tinued their work of destruction until all the liquor, casks and barrels were confiscated. Af ter which, cheers upon cheers for the Ohio li quor law were given bo the excited people, who returned to their homes, determined to renew their attack if Mr. J.., or any other man. brought liquor to their town." Such acts as these are not calculated to help the cause of tcmjierauee much. Tlcre is no community, we hope, ; o far regardless of law and decency as to commend outrages like these, or let them puss with iinpuuity. THF. SUBTERRANEAN TF.LEGRAFH TO THE PA cil ie. —The House of Congress has passed the hill authorizing an underground telegraph to be laid to the Pacific, having first strickcu out the provision which gave the contractors two mil lions of acres of land to build it. The bill only gives the right of way over the public lands of the 1 nited States, and extends the laws of the States States over the line for protection. Whether the Gill will bo accep table in this form or not, is not stated. It it is, two years is the tiiu - allowed to complete it and jut it in operariiei. Col. Benton says the Digger Indians will pull up Ihe wires to nuke hooks to catch lizard •. This is no doubt a risk to which the line is liable, but the pro jectors sav thev are ready to meet this diffi culty and settle it. If they can go ahead and build the line with no other assistsnee from the Government than the bill gives them, they ought to be rewarded for their perseverance. — It will be a great undertaking and a very im portant one. .lust imagine a daily commu nication between the Atlantic cities and Sun Francisco, with two thousand miles of wil derness between them FRENCH SPOLIATION BlLL. —This measure, as it now stands before the Senate, proposes to create a Board of three ('oinmisioncrs, whjeh a secretary, clerk, and messenger, to commence their session in October next. I his Board is to examine and decid • upon all claims to in demnity upon the French Government (not heretofore provided for) arising out of illegal captures, condemnations, confiscations, kc.. committed by the Fr-neh prior t-i the ."Ist July, 1 $Ol. For this pnrp< ho five mill oris of dollars are to be appropriated, to be paid pro rata to the claimants; and, bv a special pro vision, all claims are to be excluded if not pre sented and established within the two years prescribed for the existence of the commission. In all eases of transfer or assignment no claim ant to be entitled to receive an amount beyond the consideration paid. During the discussion in the House of Bcp resentatives there seemed to be some misappre hension as to flic amounts likely !• be paid to insurers or underwriter -. We have understood that the underwriter simply stands in 1 lie place of the original owner of the confiscated vessel, and is not in the position of u speculator. In short, commerce could not be safely carried on I without, this system of underwriting. N'o 1 owner of a vessel would risk it to carry out the 1 cargo of other persons without insurance, and ! therefore, instead of these institutions being a j clog to commerce, they are indispensable to its : success. — National Intelligencer. A SINGULAR CHARACTER— HIS BURIAL.— Tie ! Auburn Daily Advertiser mentions the death \ at Weedsport, Cayuga county, on the 20th nit., of one Harmon Wcediuon, aged 80. He had acquired it handsome competency, and many ! years ago made all his arrangements for his burial. He constructed for himself a stone ! rofiin of the Cayuga limestone, well finished. ■' the cover setting over the sides on a rabbited ! should r, and bolted together with six half j inch bolts, running through from top to ! bottom, and secured with counter sunk nuts. He requested to be buried in that with " his cloak wrapped around him," and no ministi r was to be allowed to come near him. His coffin weighed one thousand five hu wired i pounds, and he gave particular directions how to lower him into the grave. All of his di rections were explicitly followed, and by his directions the coffin was not only bolted but cemented together tc io be w ;i ter tight U. 8. SENATOR WILSON DrriMNG IDS POSI TION. —Tliere has been much dispute in the political papers of Massachusetts relative to the sentiments of the U. S. Senator just elect ed from that State by the Know Nothing Leg islature. General Wilson was at an abolition ist meeting in Boston on Friday night, and he delined his position himself by endorsing the views of the lecturer, Mr. BurlinglmniQ. Mr. W. says: In public or in private life, in majorities or in minorities, at home or abroad, 1 intend to live and to die with unrelenting hostility to slavery on my lips. I have no any. where, at homo or abroad; I shall yield noth ing of my anti slavery sentiments to ud vam e my own personal interests, to advance party in terests, or to meet the demands of nay St.-to or section of our country. I hope to be able to maintain on nil occasions these principles, to comprehend in my affections the whole country and the people of the whole country —and when 1 say the whole country, 1 want everybody to understand that 1 include in that term Massa chusetts and the North. A NEW AND CHEAP LIGHT. —The Ncv. York •Tournnl of Commerce notices tt new and cheap light, which is said to be both economical and safe with a power equal to gas. It is called the " Diamond Light." The Journal says it has tried it and finds the light equal to that of the best sperm oil, and much cheaper—the oil is made from rosin. It is a real oil, and not water-looking, lik" enmphene and burning fluid. The cost at wholesale is only 50 cents a gallon, and the means of supply inexhaustible.— Where gas is not procurable, as in villages and Ihe country at large, this light will probably be found useful. It is said not to be explo sive. THE WEATHER. — jYetc York, l\b. 5. - About, two inches of snow fell this morning, but the weather is now clear. Boston, Feb. 5. V slight full of snow occurred here this morning. Quebec, Feb. —The weather is clear here, with the thermometer at 32 degrees below zero. Montreal Feb. s.—The mercury this morning is 22 degrees below zero. NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE. — Chicago. Feb. O. — The Legislature of Nebraska assembled on the HUh nit., and received the first annual me age of Gov. Cummings. Both Houses were orga nized on the 17tli. The choice of officers is supposed to be favorable to the Administration, and the course of the Governor will probably be sustained. I VTERRL'ITIOX IN TRAVEL AT THE W;; R. — Chicnfro, Feb. 3.—The railroads are still block aded up by the snow, with tlie exception of the Michigan Southern and Central. Lad night, at 10 o'clock, on the Koek Island road, five locomotives, with one train were frozen up solid, and over 1.30 passengers passed the night in the cars. Married, I a SnEti G-ltl. prr. 2 i.':.
