MB. EDITOR ; —Every rutin, woman and child in
Towanda, having any respect for self or desire for
the peace and purity of the village, must have lelt
shamefully disgraced by the bloody affray in our
streets hist Tuesday. It was not simply a street
fight, lhat would have been disgraceful enough.
It was not merely a case of disorderly drunken
ness. Of that we ought to be ashamed. Nor was
it only a riot. Itjwus \>loody, riotous ANAKCHT ! So
lar as we could see, there was not the slightest
semblance of lair. To say the least, there ap
peared to be no means or measures in town for
preserving the peace or protecting the property, or
wives even of innocent citizens. Nor is this any
uncommon occurrence. Only a few days ago, our
own family was three times insulted by a turbulent
drunkard. In vain we sought for a man duly au
thorized to prevent such outrages upon sick and
helpless females. Finding no authority to lock up
the culprit, our only protection was to lock up the
family, and then stand guard outside.
Now 1 wish to inquire, whether our village is re
ally uuder civil law, or mob law, or no law. If we
have laws and authority, why are not the laws ex
ecuted and the authority personified. Perhaps the
proper officers are taking their summer vacation.
If so, that's all right and good,, but where are the
deputies V Can you give us their names and then
numbers V L>o please inform us, Mr. Editor, if
you can, for we are liable to any outrage any day,
and we want too know before its too lute. Let the
clarion voice of the Press be heard. Pardon my
boldness and importunities.
It by this 1 shall disturb the peace of any one, 1
am ready for conference—ready to do anything
lawful in order to preserve peace and purity, truth
and justice in the place of our habitation,

our thanks are due and are hereby tendered to out

FIRE. —We learn that a barn belonging
to slr. J. Heyler, of Liberty, in this county, was
destroyed by fire klonday night, 4tli inst., together
with about 30 tons of hay, 200 bushels of oats, and
valuable tanning utensils. It was a bank barn,
64x50 feet, and the loss cannot fall below S2OOO,
The fire was discovered at about 9 o'clock. It was
doubtless the work of an incendiary.— Tioga Agita
tor.
STRANGE ()I TRAGE. —Mr. E. L. SAWYKK,
Cashier of the First National Hank of Wat kins,
was assaulted in the streets of Havana last Tues
day night, and it seems, narrowly escaped being
robbed. The facts, as we learn, are as follows :
Mr. N., with two ladies from this village, had been
to Horseheads attending a party. Uu their return,
and while driving through Havana about 1 o'clock
at night, six men suddenly emerged from b- hind
some building, seized the horses by tile bits and
attempted to stop tlicm. Mr. .SAWYEK, discovering
their design, played the whip stoutly upon the
horses and men and sfcroveto break away from the
ruffians, lie succeeded paitially,but Sonic of them
still clung to the flying team, and managed to
turn them into a side street, where they were sud
denly brought up ugainst ,m post or fence, over
turning the carriage and throwing the oecupauts
violently to the ground. The villains apparently
alarmed at the cries that the parties made for help,
then disappeared. Aided by some citizens who by
this time had reached the spot". Mr. S. gathered up
the broken fragments us best he .could, and by tlu
help of a livery team,finally reached home without
material injury to himself or the ladies accompany
ing him. Altogether it was a most singular and
outrageous attack to be made in the principal busi
ness street of the village, and one that everybody
seems at a loss to ... count for. No doubt the vil
lains intended to rob the party, and it may be,
thought they could secure the keys to the First
National flank. We understand that two persons
have been arrested : one a boaliuau. and the other
a vagrant that has been hanging about the two vil
lages lor some time past, but whether or not suffi
cient proof has been produced to hold them V.T
are not informed. One of llu-ni has a fresh gash
upon the head that he is unable to account for in a
sutiMa.elory muiiiier. WdtL'ins IAJH'S#.
Ibiff Edward ENGLISH, of Morris, was st
riou. ly wounded in the right nr.. , by the acciden
tal discharge of a rille which he was cleaning, re
cently. Skillful means were used by Dr. I). lia
con, his attending physician, to save the arm ; but
hemorrhage of the brachial artery on the eight day
alter the accident, having set in, and proved ob
stinate, amputation was made imperative. Dr. 11,
amputated the arm above the elbow on the 21st j
ult., and the patient is doing well. English was a I
member of the 207t1i I*. V., and participated in all
the battles in which that regiment was engaged.-
Tioga Agitator.
BROKE .FAIL.- -OIK- \\ ilf'ord Daily, a Brad
ford Co. desperado, awaiting sentence for larceny,
and Nathan Mickle, a lad ol 15, convicted with an
assault with intent to commit a rape upon a girl of
nine years, left the jail without permission last
Thursday uiglit.
The escape was made by means of a skeleton
key in Daily s possession. The only blame that
can be laid upon anybody arises from the fact that
the prisoner was not searched before incarceration.
Luckily in part, Mickle was arrested at or near
Holiday town, Friday afternoon, and brought back,
by Mr. Melvin Ilotchkiss, of this borough. Hadj
is still at large, though advertisement has been !
made of liim, with full description, by the sheriff, '
and trusty men are on the watch for him. This
Daily stole a quantity of valuable clothing from the j
house of I'. E. Smith, Esq., at Tioga, some weeks j
ago. He was followed and arrested at Williams- ■
port, and on his way back he got the start of his !
captor and jumped through the car window while
the cars were in rapid motion. His right arm was i
broken in the fall, and he was brought to Wells- '
boro in a disabled condition. lle is about 5 feet I
six, dark complexion and hair, and about 22 years j
old. Arm in a sling. A reward of S7O is offered 1
for liis apprehension.- 7 <>#/'/ Ay'dulor.
Ax UNCONDITIONAL ONION MAN. —A friend
in Wyalusing informs u.-, that Samuel Dill has just
harvested from a bed in Mr. Welles' garden, 36
feet bv 2'J, (which had already supplied a large
family throughout the season,) sixteen and a half
well-heaped bushels of Onions. At seventeen
bushels, which is much below the true yield, an
acre equally productive would turnout 732 bushels.
Sam's recipe for raising such onions is to sow as
tarly as the- ground can be worked, say April Ist ;
using the same ground (the fittest you have) year
after year, enriching it freely e-acli spring with hen
or sheep manure and ashes ; rows 1 foot apart,and
thin to '25 or 3 inches m the row, and keep the
soil free of weeds and well pulverized at all times.
An anecdote of the late Joseph H. Ellis is to the
point. A passer-by, looking over the fence and
admiring the old gentleman's tine onion-beds,
asked how he managed always to have the best
onions in town, while he, Squiboli, had no luck at
all. " l'erlinps," said the venerable white head,
leaning upon his hoe and regarding the questioner
with a benevolent smile, "perhaps you hoe your
onions too much." Sqnibob was delighted, being
as averse to bodily fatigue as most of us, if not a
little more so. He was proportionably disgusted
when Uncle Joseph added : "You may hoe your
onions once every morning before breakfast, and
again, ii you please, after supper ; but if you lioe
them t'jo imtch, \uu will spoil iliem us sure as
late."
SIT N.SI NO. — We hope to stir our girls up
to the good works though we hardly expert they
will beat the mistress of the Traveler's Home, but
to convince the public that the girls of Wyalusing
at least, are not all of the '• Waxen figures and
nimble toe stripe, and that they can spin some
thing beside street yarn," and that some of the in
dustrious and energetic element so fully developed
in our mothers may yet be found in the daughters,
we present the following ease which certainly can
not easily be beatell. On Friday, Aug. 20th, Mrs.
Fanny L. (jumble and Miss Sarah E. Vaughau,
spun sixty knots each of woolen yarn and finished
by 2 o'clock p. in., and the next day spun one hun
dred knots each of good even yarn; and we con
gratulate our young men that the smart girls are
not all dead yet.
