GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK for May
is on our table, filled, as usual, with a vari
ety of interesting matter to ladies. The
embellishments consist of "Play Hours"
a most excellent design—and a first class
steel plate ; colored Fashion Plate, Patterns
in Patchwork, and Sleeping in Church.—
Among the latest fashions will be found two
new riding costumes,five lull-length Spring
dresses with gored skirts, and thirteen new
styles of hats and caps. The book contains,
besides,descriptions of useful and ornamen
tal articles in fancy work department. The
May issue is an excellent number, which
the ladies can hardly be without.
THE ATLANTIC. —The Atlantic, fur
May, opens with the "Guardian Angel,"
which increases in interest with every suc
cueding number. ' 'History of the Sewing
Machine," is one of the most readable and
interesting articles we have perused for a
long time. "Katharine Morne," No VHL,
maintains the heroine's character for egotism
to the letter. The other interesting articles
are : The genius of Dickens ; Germany in
New York ; the Plaintiff non-suited ; some
unappreciated Characters ; Old-port in win
ter ; Marble Quarri, the Custom of Burial
with Heads towards the east, and Heroes of
Central Africa. It is, altogether, a number
el more than usual solid and readable infor
mation. Published by Ticknor A Fields,
Boston, at $4,00 a year, and for sale by all
our Booksellers.
ftajr We call attention with pleas
ure to the card of„K. Davis, M. D. Leßays
ville, Pa.
Dr. Davis graduated with honor at Ham
ilton College, N. Y. He has since pursued
a thorough course of medicine under Dr JJ.
Duwitt and graduated at Bellevue Hospital
College, N. Y., with the advantages of a
praoticai course at the Hospital connected
therewith.
Dr. Davis has since his entrance in the
medical profession been associated in the
practice of medicine with Dr. M. F. Dewitt
of Whitenhall, Illinois.
The simple statement that Dr. Dewitt of
Leßaysville, has transferred to Dr. Davis
his large practice is a strong assurance of
the confidence and trust he reposes in his
late student whom he thoroughly knows.—
\V e bespeak for Dr. Davis a careet of useful
ness and profit in the profession which he
has devoted himself to, and commend him
to such as need the service of the healing
art
ATHENS ITEMS.— From the Republi

this place and the State line, is being vigor
ously prosecuted.
HIGH WATER. —The "Little Che
mung" has got its back up again. On Thurs
day the water ran across the road west of
the bridge, so that it was impossible for the
stage and her teams to pass, consequently
we had no mail for two days.
fair We are happy to state that
our "Boro' Dads" are making a decided im
provement in our side walks. The walks
on Main street have been repaired, and a
new walk is being laid on the Chemung
road. These improvments reflect much
credit to our new authorities.
The Concert given by the Ath

a line affair. The young ladies who assis

and those who are competent judges of mu

We understand the concert is to be repeated
at an early day.

W ESTERN BRADFORD.--/YOM the Troy
Gazette : —A few evenings ago some hare
brained wretch stole a case of curls, switch
es etc., from in front of Henderson's Barber
•Shop. The case was found a few days after
in a burn near, but the curls were gone.—
Henderson's loss was about $46.
BRADFORD COUNTY RAII.ROAD. —As we
announced some time ago in our columns
that ground for the new Granville and
I ireeiiwood Railroad would be broken about
the first of May, we were not surprised at a
request to be present at the "ceremony."
G. W. McMurray, ugent for the N.C. B. W.
at Granville Summit, received orders on
Saturday to proceed to work at grading for
the road. On Monday he employed the
necessary help, and selecting a place near
A. M. Fitch's house, between Granville
Summit and Troy, succededin "making a
beginning," notwithstanding the unpleas
ant weather. We hope the company will
push the road energetically, so that we may
! <• able to obtain fuel at a lower price next
winter. We shall have more to say of this
road soon.
ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY. — Last Friday,
Mr. Pettiugill, of Leona, had occasion to
visit the eastern portion of the town of
Springfield to borrow some money, and on
his return stopped at the tavern at Spring
field Centre. It was in the evening, and
there was a crowd in the bar-room drinking,
and he was invited to drink, but refused.—
Daring his stay he let drop the remark that
he had been to borrow a hundred dollars,
which it is supposed was the cause of the
assault. Leaving the tavern about nine
o'clock he had proceeded about a mile when
he received a severe blow on the back of his
head from a club. The blow was repeated
several times, and turning, he raised his
hand which was injured by'another b%w.—
Again a stroke cut open the left sido of his
head, severing some of the arteries and
fetching him to his knees. He struck at his
assailant breaking one of his knuckles by
the stroke, and laid him over against the
stone wall next the road. Just then he
thought he saw another person coming, and
he ran back up the road for safety. Reach
ing Nathaniel Mattocks' house he was cared
for and his wounds were dressed.
There is little doubt that this was a case
of attempted murder for the purpose of rob
bery. It behooves men who travel lonely
roads now-a-days, to provide lor their own
protection.
