The Advocate thinks that 20 per cent tare is too large, and that the estimated price, (18 ceuls,) is below rather than above the average cost, notwithstanding this, how ever, all must be astonished at the magnitude of the fig ures. They show that the portions of Tioga, Chemung and Bradford counties, which are drained of their sur plus produce through this point are fast becoming first clas-.butter producing regions and iu a few years will show them second to none in this respect. Those sta tistics compared with the butter produce of a dozen years ago would also show the great value which the New-York and Erie Railroad has been to them. $134,000, is no small amount of money to be distributed among the but ter producers of those sections in a single year.

F. CHAMBERLAIN, Post Master, Lime Ilill, Brad ford County, Pa. Brooklin. Susquehanna C., Pa. Mu. EDITOR Having had the pleasant opportunity of attending one of Prof. J. G. TOWNER'S Convention at the above named place,we thought it would hot be amiss to write you of its success, oceing ihat Mr. TOWNLR is one of the pioneer music teachers of your county. You will not think us bigoted or given to flattery, when we say that we think Mr. T. has but few superiors in conducting a convention ; our reason for so thinking is because success is the only thing by which we uiay judge of one's merits, and truly this Convention, of which we write, has been successful to a fraction ; nor do we wonier that Mr.T. should succeed, for his gentlemanly deport incut, and friendly manner, arc sufficient so insure for him a circle of frieuds wherever his business may call him. To be sure, he has not the advantage of a knowl edge of instrumental music, sufficient to lead iu a Con vention, but this lack is more than made up, if possible, by his pianist, Miss Vickoky , whose services, we were informed, he has employed lor the present winter. She is truly a proficient in the use of an instrument, and her ladylike deportment has won the esteem of those who have made her acquaintance in this place. Mr. Towner's forte is in vocalizing, and teaching, as he does, Mr. Bassini's new system of cultivation of the voice, it is impossible for a lover of music to attend one of his Conventions, without feelicg himself amply paid for his time and money—nor do we hesitate to recom mend him to his friends, and the country, as the leader of Conventions, feeling, as we do, an interest in the im provement of those who sing in the choirs of the several churches of our country. Mr. TOWNER, as a singer of solos, we think cannot be beat, at least that is the impression left with the people of this place ; this alone we think sufficient to recom mend him to all lovers of music. Yours, Respectfully, A SINGER.
