I_eor. indeed, chiefly—that the members of the

§ ' liJ " Spirit of God has done for the Sun

•he Churches in our midst since the bo
"t the present year. The general sum

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

WHO CAN BEAT IT. —A farmer (W. 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

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. Though at first inclined to
look upon it as a nostrum, the testimony before us
—mainly elided by our inquiries—is such that
(with the addition of a knowledge of the ingredi
ents of the composition) we are inclined to regard
tic preparation at Mr. Sheldon as valuable . The
composition, which has lit en patented, is adver
tised iu this paper. — Moore's Karat A etc- Yorker.
