SNCIDE IN CHARLESTON. —We are pained to record the suicide of a lady formerly a resident of this b. rough, which took place near Whitneyville, Pist Saturday afternoon or evening. The deceas- Mrs. Henry Petrie, had been suffering from mental dcaangement for two years, at intervals.— In the absence of her husband last Saturday, she left the house, and on his return was not to be found about the premises. Search was made and -tinned until Sunday forenoon, when she was hand lying lace downward in the little creek near by. dead. The water where she lay was but a few inches in depth. The .acurrcnce has cast a gloom over the neigh borhood, and falls heavily upon Mr. Petrie, a most estimable man, and the two childred left to mourn her loss. — WeUsboro Aijilutor.

MI'RDER.— -One of the coolest and most i...pi''Vnked murders which it has ever been our panful duty to record, was committed on Tuesday .it the house of Mrs. llousel,near the Weigh Lock, in the uper part of town, by John Sheid,who tr M 1 to the heart a young man called Rans. 1 wrrs. Sheid, it appears, had heard that Bowers 1 1 ! rii circulating some report about bini. of which Bowers, when confronted by Sheid, protes ted his innocence. But Sheid was inexorable and and without changing many words plunged a long belt kuife to Bowers' heart. Dr. Leach was called, but the wound was fatal and he died in twenty minutes. A cut was found in the back of Bow iis head. Sheid is said to be a dangerous and ill- Lmpereil man. He gave himself up to the Police end is at the time of writing in the Lockup await ing a hearing before a Justice. As we go to press, Dr. Nnderwood, who made the examination for the Coroner, informs us that tin knife entered the left side, between the fourth and fifth ribs, driving deeply into the heart. The report of the Coroner's jury was in accordance with the facts stated, and the crime pronounced volun tary manslaughter, for there is no doubt but that Shied pursued young Bowers with the intention of killing him, and carried the knife on this occa sion, with the intention of using it.— Piitslon (ia :et(e. PSOWNED.—A young man, named GILBERT i ■ NIPKAXS, son ol Mrs. Jane Tompkins, of Waver ly. aat drowned while at work at the dam, at this place, on Thursday last.

No. 625, Broadway, the first Sewing Ma- i chine, (No. 1) made by the company, the present j number being 220,000. Let the interested compare the machine sold in 1851 for $125 with those now offered for $55. The former owner of this ma chine gives its history as follows. . I The machine was finished early in 1851, and I , learned its use from Mr. Wilson himself. I was thus, you see, the first to work the Wheeler & Wil- 1 son Machine,and learned on the first Machine they i ever manufactured. In 1855 I earned with the machine $265, besides doing my own housework and taking care of my baby. In 1856 we came to Davenport,and brought 1 the machine with us. I believe it is the first Ma- 1 cluae ever brought to lowa. I run that Machine almost constantly for more than fourteen years, on all sorts of work,from the finest ' dress making to the heaviest tailoring. I quilted a full sized white bed-spread with it which has been 1 exhibited three times at the Fair. It took me three , weeks to do it with my other work, but it could not have been done by hand in so many years. I ' have even stitched leather with it, and at the time : I exchanged it, (in 1865) for No. 193,320 it worked ] just as well as when made. It is perhaps unnecessary for me to add that I believe the Wheeler & Wilson to be vastly superior to any other machine made. Yours Respectfully April 24th. P. E. B. At a meeting of the Directors of the First National Bank of Towanda, it v.'ss resolved, That in view of the action of neighboring Banks, the notes of State Banks not redeemed at par in New York or Philadelphia, will not be received af ter the 28th day of April, except at a discount suf ficient to cover the expense of sending them home for redemption ; and that we will not pay out any thing but Legal Tender or National Bank" Notes.

MARRIED . ALLEN—MEAD.—At Higland, April 22(1, by Mr. W. G. Stewart. Mr. Almanza Allen of Albany, to Miss* Emily Mead, eldest daughter of David Mead, Esq. DIED. DURAND.—At his home, in Herrick, on the mor ning of April 20th, James B. Durand, aged thir ty-six years. lie had been afflicted for many years with heart disease, and paralytic affection of the left side, but was always so cheerful and uncomplaining, that those only who were constantly with him could have any idea of the severity of his sufferings. About two years ago he was obliged to give up business, and has remained at home since, passing many a weary day and sleeples night; but, amid all his pain, constantly enlivening the home circle, and adding to the enjoyment of his many friends, and by his cheerfullness and vivacity appearing to his casual acquaintances very little like an invalid. Nearly two years ago he experienced a hope in Christ, and became a member of the Old School Baptist Church. About the middle of March, having been out to an evening meeting, he was taken with severe spasms in the chest, and great difficulty in breathing ; and from that time kept his roonq though able to sit up about half the time to the last. It is evident to his friends that he regarded it as his last sickness, though he did not expressly say so, and took all possible meas ures, as usual, to obtain relief. He had not his usual vivacity, but was calm and serene. His conversation was mainly upon spiritual things. He spoke of how the sick room tests the Chris tians hope ; how religion is there brought down to its spirit and essence, and that the hope, to sus tain tis there, must be founded upon the Word, resting alone upon the finished work of our Re deemer. In reference to his own hope, he said it had not failed him ; that he had peace of mind, and felt that his mind was staid on the Lord ; but that he did not experience that manifest presence of the Savior, and that joy which he would like to. The patience and calmness with which he bore his terrible sufferings was remarkable. For many days he was unable to sleep, on account of spasms. About three o'clock on the last morning he walked from his chair to the bed and lay down, saying, "Now if all is quiet perhaps I can get a little sleep." It was evident the change was coming, and he made no objection, as before, to having the members of the family all called. He failed rap idly, and was soon unable to lift his head or his hand. As his eyes grew dim and his hearing failed, he was asked if he found the Savior prec ious. He said, "O, yes ! I have found him so all through my sickness." Then his face seemed to be fixed, his lips ceased to move, and his breath grew shorter, and we looked momentarily for the last. Suddenly he lifted himself and sat up, his eyes opened, filled with an unearthly radiance, while a heavenly smile overspread his face, as he exclaimed, "Great glory! Praise the Lord! O, how I love my Savior. How can I help loving him, he is so beautiful, and he has loved me so. I have hoped, and now my hope is fulfilled. I hoped in his mere}', and his judgment; I hoped in ■ his atonement; I hoped in his death, and in his | glorious resurrection. He is bringing me into his I everlasting Kingdom. It is all true." Many such eiclamations, more than can be told, he made, re- j pea ting beautiful portions of Scripture, but did not seem to be addressing those individually who stood around his bed, nor to recognize them as mourning friends, though as his eye would rest up on one he would speak the name. He was evi dently lost to earthly thiugs, and filled with vis ions of glory, and his frame had been reanimated for a little that he might testily of the rapturous joys of heaven. Four times he raised himself "thus, with many expressions of praise. The last time, he said, " I must praise him, though I exert myself too much. His love is so wonderful. It's not for a moment merely, but forever and ever, and we shall praise him world without end." Then as he began to faint and fail, he said, "Jor dan is driven back. But I cannot tell it. Read the one hundred and fourteenth Tsulm. Its all there." We laid him back, and there was no move ment any more. He remained breathing softly as an infant, for perhaps half an hour, his face per fectly serene, a kink of radiance overspreading his brow, while his eyes, from underneath their half closed lids seemed fixed, with the light of a holy and eternal joy shining in them, upon the far off, infinite glories of heaven. As he thus lay, his his head resting high on the pillows, we read aloud the wonderful l'salm, and then we knew what he would tell, how that death had been con quored ; how the waves which had threatened to overwhelm him, had fled at the approach of one whose hope and trust were in the Lord, how the swelling tides of Jordan had been driven back, so that he who had hoped, though so tremblingly, " Could pass the river telling The triumphs of his King." The morning sun of a beautiful Spring day was shining in at his window, as he passed away into glory. The closing lines of the last poem he ever wrote, seem appropriate. It is entitled " Songs in the Night." The silent, shadowy hours move onward slowly, But a sweet sense of joy abides with me ; One thought alone malie9 the night-watches holy, The blessed thought that I am still with thee. And morning cometli! soon these watchings ended, Soon all these earthly nights and vigils o'er, On the freed soul shall break the radiance splendid Of perfect day upon the sinless shore. O there shall be no more of restless sighing, No more of sorrow and of blighting care ; For in that glorious home of bliss undying, No shadow falleth, and no night is there. Bapt in such thoughts, peace floweth like a river. Filling with voiceless songs the silent deep ; Songs holy as the angels sing forever, Aud so thou givest thy beloved sleep!

From the various Agricultural prints,or other sources, most farmers have become aware of the vast superiority ot the Goodrich Sculling Potatoes. They are unrivalled in their immense yield, exceedingly excellent for table use or lor feeding stock, and free Irom rot, mildew or disease. Such well kuowu qualities are merits that have won for the Goodrich Seedling Potatoes a better name than any other potato heretofore known. A limited sup ply can now be obtained by application at Dr. Porter's Drug Stoic, at the following rates : Early Goodrich i I 00 a peek Gleasou 1 oo " Calico 1 50 " Cuzco 1 50 " Pink Eyed Rusty Coat 100 " Garuet Chili at about the market price. The Cnzco has been kuowu to yield6oo bushels to the acre in drills: the early Goodrich 400 bushels ; the oth ers between 300 aud too bushels to the acre. lu our soil in Bradford, with proper tillage, they will average over 300 bushels to the acre. Whoever procutes and plants any of the above varities, will consider thcmseles fortunate in having secured the seed at such apparently high prices. DR. H. C. PUIiTER. Towanda, Jan. 1. '65.

THURBER. Towanda, Dec. 7,1865.—tf. AH DEN SEEDS. —AS THE QUALITY Taud age of seeds cannot he told by their appear ance. it is of course desirable to purchase only such as are known to he reliable. It will require but little re flection I think to convince auy person that a house that sends seeds ail over the country to be sold on com mission, taking back all unsold, is less likelv to* furni.-h good seeds, than one which sells their seeds outright, tiius having no old seeds on hand. Last season I bought a quantity ol Puisl's Celebrated Seeds,and those who tried them 1 think will not be satisfied to return to the old stock of commission seeds. I have t his season a large stock of the same kind of seeds, and ] hope to be able to supply all who will try • hern with first class fresh and reliable seeds. March 7,'66. B.T.
