The general sum -chools and renewal results is now before f 'are has been taken to avoid uny oveiesti ! in'.te of (arte. 1 am confident that the. figures fall ■ beloxv the truth. It was found impossible to gather reliable re turns of hopeful conversions. This item was con s quently thrown aside. Individuals added to churches but not connect | e l with Sunday Schools,together with estimated nc : cessions to churches in townships which failed to | make full returns are not included in the County I summary. Our aim has been to procure such facts in figures as would truthfully exhibit the measure of God's estimate of the value of efforts for the saving of the young. It is therefore with devout thankfulness to God that we acknowledge his great good ness and power in the hopeful salvation of eight )iundred and tircuty souls connected with the Sun day Schools of Bradford County. The whole number of persons iu all the schools is ten thousand six hundred and thirty nine—of which therefore, about eight per cent has been re ceived in full communion by the churches within the past eight months. Of communities which, two years ago, were without either Sunday Schools or preaching, fifteen are now known to enjoy both these means of grace. Thus it is that the giyat head of the Church is everywhere planting the sweet "rose of Sharon." Brethern, verily, verily, "Hitherto the Lord hath helped us." Work on. pray on, and, ere long, in stead of hundreds, we shall be able to report thou sands of youthful witnesses for Christ and work ers in his vineyard. K. CHITTENDEN. Oct.

War ren) of West Granville, Bradford Co. thinking he could dig a hundred bushels of potatoes a day, on the morning of October 10th, be took his potatoe hook and commenced his clays work. lie was out of the field nearly an hour while at dinner, finish ed digging in time to help bis hired men pick up over one third of the potatoes he dug, and finish ed his days work by covering them with straw, the men (N. Loomis ai d I). W. rden,) who measured them, testifies that he dug one hundred and forty one and one half bushels, besides doing the other work mentioned, between the hours of 8 a. m., and 6 p. m. GKIST MILL BURNED.—The steam grist and saw-mill of George E. Humphrey, in Sheshequin township, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night last. The mill was closed at 6 o'clock, and about 11 o'clock, when the fire was discovered, the upper part of the mill was in flames. The loss is about 810,000, upon which there is no insurance. SPECIAL NOTICES. A CARD. —In justice to MR. FI.EMI.vo, we wish to say to the public that, after an interview withtli.it g( l.ih man, we are satisfied that he re ceived his information iu reference to our corres pondence with Messrs I vision, Fliiuey, Blakeman, & Co., from a member of our firm, who misunder stood the import <>:' the letter Rent from them. We supposed, however, that Mr. F. understood the j matter fully from a couvi rs ition had with the nth- I er member four firm. Iu tins we were mistaken. ] Upon examining his article again, and from in formation received lrom liim we are convinced that he bad no allusion to us in his application of the epithet "cats paw." Neither liad lie any intention of charging \\i with employing Mr. K. to attend the Teachers Institutes. ALVGIID & BAHIIEH.

Way As we have s en some statements in the REPORTER. concerning the adop'ion of the "Union Series," ot Headers at the Teachers Asso ciation held at Sylvuuia, which wc believe are do- ] signed to deceive : we wish to make the following i statements. Nearly i-vety member present voted for the adoption of the "Union Series," the nays were called lor, but no one responded. There was an average attendance so far as we are able to judge. There was no "lobbying." If J. K. Flem ing thinks that the tie. liers of Bradford Co., are j simple enough to be influenced in such a manner, I we think he is as much deceived as he has dec. iv- i ed others. This is not the first time that he has misrepresented us; he does not seem satisfied by falsely stating that we would use the books for which he is agent in our High School at Austinville, but now accuses us ol' not calling lor the negative of a resolution,thus insinuating that we were tiying to force the adoption of the "Union Series." He lias deceived many with regard to the adoption of his books, but as* near as we are able to learn, he is doing betti r service to ill" one whose colors he bears, thuu he is for English & Co., His "best i,i fnrinutioii," and the "colors" no doubt came from the same onree. We use the "Union Series,"and wish that no other.-■: were in use in the County. I A. T. T.tt.T.FV. Au.-.tinvilh, Oct. 16, 1866. SHELDON'S COMPOSITION FOR FRLIT TREES.-- A correspondent at Troy, Pa., asks us relative to P. B. Sheldon's composition for the destruction of borers and other insects on fruit trees. On inquiry we learn from reliable parties in Steuben county, that the composition 1i..- been tested in that sec tion and is approved.
