ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN BINGHAMTON. —Last o'tt, Friday, August 24, says the Binghamton ™d of August 25, a person entered the house Lev. Mr. PI.ATT, of this village, through the slnr-way, anil proceeded directly to the room of : "ITA O'CONNOR, the hired girl. The glrHiad 'tired, but was not yet asleep, and on hearing her Uh r open, inquired who was there. At that iu nt she was struck a hc-avy blow in the chest, .tiled loudly for help, and the would-be as mum, going out through the back kitchen. . roenring a light, Mr. PLATT'S ax was found in hall, just outside of the girl's bedroom door, if dropped by the criminal in his hurry to get ■'ity. Various circumstances pointed to a colored >" by the name of Eli Miller as the perpetrator of offence, and on the complaint of Uonora O'- Uiuuor, a warrant was issued by Justice Durkee, "■'"l placed in the hands of Chief of Police Flynn, J arrested Miller, and he is now in jail, awaiting lamination. Mr. l'latt s family arc absent, nnd the premises -re in charge ot a Mr. Stoddard. He was awaken , by the noise, but on going to the room from whence the screams issued, the man had fled. ' "'■re is every reason to think that he intended to ' kill Uonora. This Miller had been at work for Mr. l'latt, but was discearged just after Mr. P. • tit away, and he knew he was not at home. The following notice of our village ■ lrom the If nvcrit/ Advocate. It contains too •h truth to be complimentary, and we commend ' t the careful perusal of our borough fathers : An article in the Athens liqmblican of best on the. wealth and general prosperity of To * 'a, reminds ns that we recently paid a brief Dit to that village. We can vouch" for its being ' ItLy, and blest with a good share of individual j ' uprise ; but we think the village, iu its corpor * 'pacity, will not bear the very flattering no sii is accustomed to receive. Towanda has a ; ••t'-r number of first-class residences than any "iL.-r place of its size within the limits of onr ac '-aiutance, and the business portion of the town "ill up in a highly creditable manner. All j" 1 ' ' ! °wcver, is the result of that individual en r -pttse fur which she is deservedly noted : but iti crossings, side-walks, gutters, <kc., my disgraceful to that otherwise beautiful i , 1 ' j ey show a bad administration of its M'"rate atlairs—show, at least, such indifference 1 mltnesß, order and good taste, as would re discredit on any village of wealth. Pave- KLi 5'i S ° ca^ e d, along the main thoroughfare, • a have always been a stumbling block to pe destrians, remain to-day in the same condition they were thirty years ago, when the stones were j pitched into their awkward positions. The back streets and suburbs are almost entirely destitute | of side-walks, and all are lumbered up with fire wood, posts, lumber and rubbish generally. We think tie/ in this respect we never saw a more un tidy villuge. We have no taste for peering into other people H tiflairs—oll the contrary, we believe in the doctrine of every man's keeping his own door-yard clean ; but we could not forego these much needed remarks with reference to a village in which we have heretofore resided, and in which we still feel much interest. We have probably al ready provoked a retort, but good will come of what we have said, even at that; and still more good would be manifest if the journals of that vil lage would do their duty, and point out these evils to their people, and the derilection of their au thorities in not correcting them.

This practice, after prac tical proofs of its superiority as a curative agent, lias been adopted iu the Hospitals of Paris, and London, and after being left for a time in this i country in the hands of the inexperienced in its application, and ignorant of its laws, has been adopted by some of the most eminent of the Med- I ical Profession.

NICHOLS—On the 20th of June, 1800, Earl Nich ols, in the 60th year of his age, having reached his 08th year on the 18th of April last. Mr. N. came to Burlington township when only four years old, and lived there until the day of his death. He took possession of the farm on which he died, and where he is now buried, 30 years ago, and when there was a continuous wilderness from his rude habitation to Towanda— save one small clearing of a few acres—a distance of nine miles. By his prudence, and great industry, Mr. Nichols acquired a competence for his declining years, and brought into a high state of cultivation, not only a beautiful home, but one of the best farms in Bradford county, and where, when he commenced, neither a competence or a good farm, seemed pos sible to human energy or foresight. Now howev er, the traveller on the Berwick and Elmira Turn pike, who passes the old home of the late Earl Nichols, sees with gladdened eyes, the many, smooth, fertile acres he brought to sun-sliine and usefulness, and where his widow, who was also born and has always lived in Burlington township, now resides, in comfort, patiently and hopefully awaiting the Master's call. Mr. Nichols having thus spent his life in subduing the rugged forests, and preparing for the enjoyment ol his children, (his two sons, worthy and highly esteemed men now possessing the farm,) and creating property for the community to tax in perpduwni. This quiet, patient and heroic worker, earned, and de serves fame more justly than the conquering hero. For while he has been a benefactor to his race, the successful soldier is at best but a scourge ; and how far above the mere politician, the speculator and trader, who deal in millions, does the result of Mr. N's laborious and humble life place him. While he worked for himself and family, he work ed for the public good, and while civil government lasts it will derive benefit from his labor. u x s li o i' i GUNS, RIFLES AND PISTOLS. J. V. OKIUKK, would respectfully inform the public that he has opened his GUN SHOP On the north side of the Public Square, near the Court where may be found Double and Single Barreled Guns, Rifles, Revolvers, Pistols, Cartridges, &c.
