FAF- II.LNE.SS OF PROF. COBCRN. —Prof. C.
IF. COBLHS lias, for the past three weeks, been confined
to bis bed with typhoid fever. Although he is now alow- j
Jy recove iag, he is still obliged to keep his bed. Iu con- j
sequence of his seveie illness, his correspondents have j
necessarily been unanswered. We hope, however, to see
him able to resume business again iu a short time.
Our town clock is considerable of a
nuisance. Like other institutions that go ou " tick." it j
is not always reliable, and in fact lately it has entirely j
suspended < perations.
We are informed by Mr. CHAMBERLTN, who has charge ;
of the clock, that owiug to the dilapitated condition of ;
the roof, the water has free access to the machienery, !
and that the concern has " friz up."
SENATOR WILMOT. —We are authorized !
to state, sat s the Philadelphia /> nU< tin most positively
that there is not the slightest foundation for the rumor J
that the Hon. DAVID WILMOT designs resigning Uis seat :
ia the Senate to accept a foreign mission. A prominent
gentleman of this city received a letter from the distin
guished Pennsylvanian within a day or tw •, emphatical
ly denying the report, and expressing an intention to re- 1
miu in the Senate to the close of his official term. The
same letter states that the writer (Mr. WILMOT) is becom
ing more robust iu health.
TOR M FASLK*. —A Mr. SWIFT, of Detroit, a
geni.'emsn whose statements the Advertiser save can be
implicitly relied upon, furnishes that paper with the fol
lowing: " As there is a great deal of the measles among i
children throagheat the country, I wish to make known j
apiasikat will speedily en re and keep the disease on the I
surface of the skiu uutil it torus, and will bring it out
when it has luraed ia, or struck in. Though simple.it
is sure : Take a pint of oats and put them iato a tight
vessel; pour on boiling water, and let it stand a short
tune, then give it to the sick person to drink. It must
be pretty warm. In fifteen minutes you will see a change
for the better."

FFVAK. A resolution from the Committee on

number of persons composing each family, who receive !
aid from -the county, aud the amount paid each family 1
per week, and the aggregate amount paid by the county !

laf" The Rebel Congress met at Richmond,
Tuesday week, when HUNTER of Virginia was chosen
President pro. tern, of the Senate, and BABCOCK, of Va.,
Speaker of the House. (Virginia goes in for ail the offi- i
ces.as is her wont.) The solemn farce of inaugurating 1
DAVIS and STEPHENS for six years, was gone through on I
Saturday. It was a dull, lifeless, hopeless affair. Histo- !
ry may reproduce, respecting them, an "extract" from
M.itber Goose's Melodies—videlicit, to wit, namely, viz., j
M follows, thus :
" Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl—
If the bowl had been stronger,
My tale had been longer."
BIG HAUL. —Oa Wednesday evening of
.ist week, Constable NOBLE arrested and brought before
Esquire BOGART, a gang of" Pools," charged with rob- j
b:ag clothes-lines and stealing goods from different stores j
in this p.uce. A large quantity of dry goods, consisting |
of silks, detains, calicos, Ac., Ac., were found in their;
possession, and were identified by the different merchants ,
of this place. Many articles taken from clothes-lines '
verealso identified by several different persons.
It seems that a regular system of robbing had been ear
ned oa for some time, and from the large stock they had
oa hand.it is evident they most have been very expert in
'•as heiass to avoid detection.
dtnot among thieves" is an old maxim, but it failed
iff tmimstsn-e, as the facts "leaked oat" through a
qaarre: imiag themselves. Six of them were lodged in

la the Spring.
S®. REM EMBER THE ABSENT ONES. —Many, |
X( ~y many families in this county, have near and dear
friends ,n the army, and to all who have been absent, from
home any considerable length of time, it is apparent that
in - v 'tteiligence from home must afford the greatest pieas
"rc 10 fr J ose who have left their cheerful firesides and
toner, upon themselves the hardships of war. It ia in the
power of those at home to render that patriotic absent
t '' n 'l or relative much service even in the way of small
•■o rv among the most acceptable of which is the trans
°f news to the absent one. The cheapest manner
°f despatching such news is by the mailing of newspa
P er - Let all such therefore subscribe for and mail a news !
P*per to their friends in the army. And no paper would j
niore acceptable than the local paper—the paper pub
■stej m tbeir native town and county. The mailing of j
" Reporter, for instance, would be the most acceptable
Curtesy that could possibly be extended to any of the
vciuateers from this county.
TO YOUR CELLARS. —As the health
household depends upon cleanliness, thote who
in charge the household should frequently think of
cellar. It ahonld always he kept in a cleanly condi.
on free from annoyances and nuisances of all kinds.—
" % kept cellar has much to do with the health of a
J311, y especially in the spring of the year. All decayed
vegetable matter should be speedily ejected. Especially '
should cabbages, beets, eelery and turnips be excluded.
The cellar should be thoroughly whitewashed at least
once a year. The air in a properly kept cellar will not
become impure when the weather becomes sufficiently
cold to render necessary the closing up of the open win
dows ; while, on the other hand, the air of a cellar so
closed up, which is untidily kept and filled with vegeta
bles, some of them in a decayed state, may well be im
agined. All celars, however, should have the ontside
doors thrown open for an hour or two in mid-day, when
the temperature ia above the freezing point.
HAF* IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL SUPERINTEN
DENTS.—A bill has been introduced in the Legislature
having for its object the examination of our county School
Superintendents, with a view of ascertaining their capa
bilities to discharge the duties of the position to which
they aspire. It provides that the Judges of the District
Court, together with the President Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas in all counties except Philadelphia, and
the President Judge of the Judicial District, together
with the Associate Judges of each county, shall appoint
before June a Committee of three teachers, the best they
can find, who shall examine all persons voted for for this
office at the Triennial Convention of Directors, and the
General Superintendent shall commission the person
found duly qualified who has the most votes. The exam
ination shall be practical and theoretical, and seventy
five per cent, of the questions must be rightly answered.
The Committees shall hold office for three years, but the
members may be removed by the General Superintendent
of Schools on "proof of unfitness being given him; ten
citizens shall have a right to call for a new examination
of a County Superintendent, and teachers have a right to |
appeal to the Committee on Examination.
JS&- The Elmira Press of the 2Gth ult, has
the following:—" We learn that a Mr. JOHNSON, residing
about two mi'es and a half south of Wellsburg, was found i
by the roadside on Thursday morning last, frozen as sol 1
| Id as an iceberg. The man had left home on the previous
; evening in good health, and as a wound, presenting the
appearance of having been produced by a bludgeon, was
| found upon the back part of his head, it is thought that
; he was approached from behind and kuocked down by
j some ruthless villians, and either killed outright by the ,
; blow, or rendered insensible until frozen to death. He
! was known to have in his possession, at the time of leav
; ing his residence, some SIOO in bank notes, whi h he had
realized from the sale of a lot of lumber at FAULKF.'S
j Mills, near Burlington, on the Tuesday previous. He had
! started on foot for Elmira, where he has friends residing,
| from whence he had intended to proceed to Seneca coun
ty, for the purpose of making a payment on some proper
ty. He had always been a frugal, industrious man, of
strictly temperate habits, rendering the suspicion of foul
play virtually a certainty. Certaiu circumstances have
j arsused the suspicion that his hired man, named Jones,
j an individual of very questionable precedents, knows
i more of the affair thau anyone else—which suspicions are
; abundantly confirmed by his unaccountable absence.—
J JOHNSON was much respected by his neighbors, aud no
: stone will be left unturned to hunt up the fugitive crimi
: nal, and bring him to justice.

i BGA- EO. G OODRICH — Dear Sir: —l have I
noticed in the columns of the Reporter, the ready response
i in many places to the call of the Sanitary Commission,
at Washington for aid. in contributing articles for the
benefit of our sick and wounded soldiers. While I have
noticed the many generous acts of patriotism,! have said
lin my heart " GOD bless the people of Bradford." You
may rember that about two months since, Judge MERCUR
| i:i company witn Attorney MORROW, came to Orwell and
addressed the people on this important subject. Those
gentleman, in their usual interesting way, aroused the
! people of Orwell to action, and at the close of the meet
| ing. a Committee of several, gentlemen were appointed,
! and it was resolved to form Societies in every school dis
triet (of which I believe there are ten in this township.)
and to appoint three ladies to act as a Committee In each
l district. I speak only for South Kill.
We organized by appointing for Committee Mrs. 11. A.
BARNES, M"s. J.S. BARBER and Miss E. A. BOTTLES. —
This Committee iraiuediataly took an active interest in
the cause, well worthy of them, calling on every family
in the district, and received money aud articles of cloth
ing, such as blankets, quilts, pillows, sheets, undershirts,
drawers,so< ks, gloves, Ac., Ac , besides a large quantity
of old linen for bandages—the amount of which, at a
i low estimate, was about $55, all of which have been for
i warded, together with a large amount collected at Orwell
* Hill.
Yours respectfully, J. BUTTLES.

\ RIMORF.D DEATH OF FLOYD. —lt is stated by
reliable gentlemen from Fort and
Cairo that it is the general opinion umong-the
Rebel prisoners that General John B. Floyd
I was killed the night he so gloriously fled frcm
Fort Donelsori. The report says that there
wai a great excitement at the time the troops
under Floyd and Pillow attempting to embark
on the steamers, and a fearful scramble as to
who should get aboard and escape, as transpor
tations was insufficient. Floyd stood in person
at the gangway of one of the boats, and, with
a drawn sword, beat off the troops, permit ing
his favorites to get aboard. A Lieutenant
approaching Floyd, made an effort to get
aboard, when he was ordered off by the Gen
eral. The Lieutcu ant continued to advance,
when Floyd struck him on the shoulder with
his sword, inflicting a severe wonud. The
Lieutenant promptly drew his pistol and fired
upon Floyd, and,tb e report says, killed him.—

THE LOAN BILL. —We take from the Tri
bune the following statement of the provisions
of the Loan Bill as it has become a law. Is
there a patriotic man in the coautry who has
i money invest who will hesitate to put it in the
Government bonds?
1. The Secretary of the Treasury is author
ized to borrow for the service of the Govern
ment and the prosecntion of the War any
amount not exceeding $500,000,000 in all, to
be secured by the issue of Six per cent. Stock,
redeemable after tvveuty years, and of which
the interest is payable serai annually in coin.
2 He may issue $150,000,000 more of De
mand Notes, which are at all times converti
ble into the stock aforesaid at the option of
the holder. These notes, with tue Sixty Mil
lions already issued are to be a Legal Tender
iu the payment of private as well as public
debts, and receivable for all public dues
except Duties on Imports, which are payable
only in the Fifty Millions already issued or in
Coia.
PROBABLF. ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLA
TURE. —The committee appointed by the Legis
lature to proceed to Washington and confer
with the Finance Committee of Congress as to
the probable quota of tax to be imposed upon
tbia State, the payment of which could be as
sumed by the Legislature, failed, as was antici
pated, to gain aoy satisfactory information. —
Consequently the Legislator can do nothing
uutil after Congress has passed a tax bill. A
joint resolution was introduced iDto the Senate
en Wednesday providing for the adjournment
of the Legislature from the 21st of Mareh to
the 17th of June. As there is really nothing
for this Legislature to do, after passing the
General Appropriation bill, but to enact tax
laws, it is not improbable that this proposed
adjournment will take place.— Harrishurg Tel.

EMERY'S
Celebrated Threshing Machines,
EMERY'S ONE AND TWO IIORSE POWERS, are
too well and popularly known to need any description
from me, and I will only say that they continue to de
serve the reputation they have enjoyed for ten years, of
being the " best Endless Chain Horse Power in use."
These Powers possess conveniences and advantages pos
sessed by no other power.
EMERY'S NEW PATENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
This a new Machine, and has not before been intro
duced into this region. It haa no endless chain straw
carrier, but separates all kinds of grain thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
the well known Vibrating Riddle. It is a simple, durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to be superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to be seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
be an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS & SEPARATERS
are not excelled by any in market, are well constructed,

the close of the Spring term.
No deduction will be made for absence, except in case
of protracted illness of over two weeks.
Instrumental Music will not, as heretofore, be tangbt in
the Institution, but by special arrangement—a class will
be taught in a hall adjoiningthegrounds ofthe Institute,
by the Teacher of Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and experience has proved it to be eminently superior to
the plan pursued in former years. Special pains will be
taken to secure the greatest progress of those wishing to
take lessons in this branch. Terms will be as heretofore :
Tuition on Piano Forte, per term $lO C'O
Use of instrument on which to take lessons £3
do for practice 2 o<~
Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow
els, Ac., and tiie table silver a. their option. It is desira
ble that they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it is convenient, but when otherwise, these will be
furnished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
Normal Depm Iment- HvecM exercises are arranged
without extra charge for tnose preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools, Prof. C. R. COBURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will also be present 4 to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, ana will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall term.
Prot. Coburn's connection witli the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repulatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and iu rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support
