DONATION TO REV. ROBERT DUNLAP. —The
people of Towanda and vicinity are respectfully
invited to make donations to Kev. Mr. Dunlap and
family, at the Parsonage, formerly known as the
"Mcintosh House," on Second Street, in the after
noon and evening (from 2 to 'J P.M.,) of Wednesday
Dec. 19. Social calls are desired, though refresh
ments may not be expected.
It is hoped that our community will not forget
that the Baptist Church, of which Mr. Dunlap is
pastor, though most needing assistance of any in
the place, has not asked for aid, during the past
year ; while the other Churches have held liberally
patronized festivals. CHURCH COM .
DROWNED.—TIMOTHY FLEMING, employed
oa the dam, was drowned on Friday list. He was
on a boat with several other persons, when the
boat approaching too near the breach in the coffer
dam, was drawn with the current, and if LEMMING
supposing that it would be swamped jumped into
the water. He was not seen after he sunk. The
boat with the others went safely through the breach.
Fleming was a young man, aged 22 or 23 years.—
This is the fourth death by drowning which has
occurred during the up airs on the dam.
REAI. ESTATE SALE. —Among the recent
sales of real estate which have come to our knowl
edge, is that of the major part of the Judge Hyatt
farm in the town of Nichols,embracing the Judge's
fine residence and buildings surrounding it, and
excepting only about 100 acres, to Mr. Samuel B.
Smith, late President of our County Agricultural

000.— Oxcego Gazelle.
BURGLAR CAUGHT. —About 1 o'clock on
Tuesday Morning, (says the Williamsport Bulletin,)
Mrs. H. 1". Munday aroused Mr. M„ and called his
attention to an unusual noise. He soon satisfied
himself that some one was attempting to enter the
dwelling (which is over Lowe & Munday's store,)
and proceeding to the back window, which opens
upon a porch, h found a man crawling head for
musL through the window. Mr. Munday caught
him by the should' rs and very kindly assisted bim
into the room, but did not handle bim very deli
cately. The noise brought Mr. Munday's lather to
the scene, and the burglar was taken to another
room and guarded by Mr. Munday, Sr., while H.
F. Munday went out and procured a police officer,
who came and took the fellow into custody. He
was taken before the Mayor and committed for
trial. The afternoon previous, Mr. M. had drawn
sl.ouo from the Bank to take to the woods toe next
morning. It is supposed that the burglar must
have known t. s fact, and intended to possess
himself of the funds. Mr. Mundv deserves a vote
o! thanks for his prompt arrest of the scamp.

THE CONNECTICUT MUT.YAI. LIFE INSURANCE !
Co. OF HAKEFORD. — * * * The first question ;
asked, when one is about to insure his life : Is the
Company safe ! Security, then, is the first idea
and most important point in lile insurance. Next
to security comes the question of economy in its
management. These two questions being settled,
it is easy to decide what company to insure in.
That the Connecticut Mutual, with its accumu
lated fund amounting to nearly TEN MILLIONS, has
abundant security, is beyond the cavil of man.—
That its business has been economically managed,
Las been definitely decided by its large dividends j
to policy-holders, which has averaged fifty per !
annum for twenty years."— lnsurance Monitor, Xeir !

THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY. —The present modification of the Com
pany's tables, etc., show the keen appreciation, on
the part of the officers of the Company, of the j
public necessities ; and they show, too, that the j
Company keeps up with the spirit of the times in '
ail ueedlul and practicable reforms. I'robably no i
man engaged in Life Insurance, either in England j
or America, has a better judgment of the practical j
value of any plan or feature of business, than the I ;
Secretary of this Company, Dr. Guy B. Phelps ;
and it-may be set down as an accepted fact, that
whatever he advises and approves in the practice , i
of Life Insurance, will have a common-sense,

its own interests. Miss KNIGHTON graduated with
very distinguished honor at the institution over

tiiid exhaustive in all the branches usually pur
, sued iu a full collegiate course, with the exception
, of Ike Greek ; and embraced Latin, the Higher

proficiency in 1 rench and German was also very

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insu

done the largest business of any life insurance
company in this country and probably in the
world. Its receipts have been over $4,000,000.
Its assets are now over $10,000,000, and it de
clares to its policy holders this year a dividend of
60 per cent. It will have issued during this fiscal
year ending January 31, 1866, over nine thousand

GREAT SECRET EXPOSED 1
Yielded at last to the wishes of friends. Time and
again has the following proposi ion been made; but
never exposed until the present.
FIVE YEARS AX VXREVEALED SECRET '
NERVE YOURSELF FOR THE SHOCK !
First proposition to be made public :
FRIEND NELSON First, 1 would say, according to
the best calculations, in the Borough ot Towauda, there
is sold yearly one hundred thousand dollars worth ol
Boots and Shoes,mostly slop work of the most inferior
kind, and the people generally are sick of it. And now
1 =ay to your again, as I have before,enlarge your Store,
make it neat and commodious, and keep a good stock o!
Boots aud uhoes, and you shall be sustained. Most ot
the people begin to fee! a little above buying their boots
and shoes at Dry Goods Stores ; it looks verdant and
outlandish. < edo not ask to make yur goods if it is
not convenient. The facilities in some other localities,
where a better ch -ice of sto ik and workmen can be had,
may be still better And you have always been in the
business, and better understand this ouepoint and irn
p i taut branch of the Merchant's art, than those that
d( al in Silks aud Muslins, and they, I believe, would be
giad to let this business go where it belongs ; that they
have done it heretofore to accomodate the people ; I do
b >ve it you would open a firs-class Shoe Store the
people would not go to Dry Goods Stores to bay Shoes ,
any more than they would to Drug Stores for Oats.
Stop, stop! what are you talking about ? has not any
one the right to sell what he pleases ? It may he, hut
not in justice is it right in so large a place as this .where
practical men are engaged wholly in this business. It
has been given up in every other place, and according
to custom it will be here.
Two thousand live hundred propositions made I rom
customers, is, to bring more of the same kind ol Boots
and shoes you brought with you when you came in town
seven years ago. i have never seen a good Shoe before
nor since, is the language ol them all at the same time.
Raise thy feet gently
And think it so queer
That the Boots I sold then
Should wear them a year.
; now yield to the above propositions, and have promi
sed to sell Twenty-five Thousand Dollars worth of his
Boots and shoes it he would make them as good as
those 1 brought here seven years ago. aud the answer is
1 will! 1 will!
Well friends, your proposition made
And I've consented to the trade,
So 1 will sell yon Shoes both strong and neat,
To please the taste and suit the feet.
1 have Ladies," Misses', Boys' and Mens',
From fancy down to coarse brogaus,
Come one and all, do as you agree,
And buy your Boots and Shoes of me,
Come ! Come ! I say, where you can find
Boots exactly to your mind ;
A d if you was never here before,
Yon'll find it is the very Store.
Come Ladies, Gents, I have goods for ali.
Buy your goods of me this Fall,
Aud when Spring coines I will the cry,
•* At L. C. NELSON'S I wiil buy!"
There is one thing more I'll say to you,
I'm in the old Store made over new ;
If any read, and stand the shock,
My place you'll find joins Patton's Block.
