The weather, daring the week past, lias
' - s, i<'h as we imagine would be experienced
,;li twhere about the North Pole. "Such a
of intensely cold days is sue cession, is
'' •v experienced in this climate. The nuiii
'■ '•! degress below &ro indicated hv the ther
mometor, depends altogether upon the length
of the instrument. We hear of some as low as
20 deg.—but when that region is reached, a
few degrees more or less, is of no consequence.
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."

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.

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.
