Mr. EDlTOß —Please allow me a small space in your paper to express my heart-felt gratitude to the good people of Towanda, who rendered me assistance in time of need. I have thus been able to build a small, but comfortable dwelling house which will diminish the expense of living, and the cares of declining years.

RAIN AND FRESHET. —The rains of last week raised the streams to an unusual height, threatening the destruction of much property. The river,at this place, was swol len to an extraordinary degree, yet not equal to the freshet of March, 18G5. The embankment at the Barclay basin, showed signs of giving way, but by the energy of the Superintendent, Mr. WARD, the danger was averted. All comunication was sus pended for two or three days,but we do not hear of any serious losses. Bridges over the small streams were taken off, but the larger bridges are all safe. &' A destructive fire occurred at Faetoryville, Wyoming Co., on the evening of Saturday the 4th inst. Eleven buildings, in all, were destroyed. The fire we under stand, first broke out in the Good Templars Hall over the dwelling ot Mr. Wells, which with the buildings appurtenant, was entire 1\ destroyed. Orlando Reynolds lost house blacksmith shop, and barn—Mr. .Warner a wagon-shop and contents—Henry Newcomb a Cabinet and Furniture shop and contents —Mr. Beam a dwelling—Mr. Curry a dwel ling, barn Ac. The fire is said to have been caused by some careless Templar ; there having been a meeting at the Hall that eve ning. I'EMOREST'S MONTHLY. —This beauti ful and favorite periodical comes to us with all the freshness and fragrance of the June roses.

BOLD ROBBERIES. —The residence of Mijumin Griswold, about two miles below Wellsbnrgh, was entered,on Tuesday night, and a pocket book taken from his pants pocket in his bedroom, containing sllO in ilrafts and checks and SIOO in bills. Upon walking in the morning, and finding his loss, he directed a favorite black hank mare to be brought out of the bam, to come to Elrnira with, that he might put detectives on track after the bold burglars. But, be hold! the stall was also empty, and an ad ditional $250 in horseflesh was added to his previous losses. The mare was jet black, except a little white on each land foot, star in the forehead, tail a little crooked. A russet bridle and saddle were taken with the mare. Fifty dollars reward is offered lor the recovery of the mare and the appre hension of the thief, or twenty five dollars for cither.— Etmira Ad. A GOOD BOOK. —A very desirable and interesting volume is now being pub lished entitled Woman's Work in the Civil War. It is mainly written by Dr. L. P. Lrockett, the author of at least three or four books relating to the war, and Mrs. Mary C. Vaughn. The introduction is from the pen of Dr. Bellows, president of the U. S. •Sanitary Commission, and among the sketches of patriotic women we notice one by Mrs. 11. 11. Stowe. The work which con tains about 600 pages octavo, is neatly prin ted on fine paper, beautifully illustrated with steel engravings, and handsomely bound. Many persons have been engaged in collecting materials, and much time and labor have been spent in its preparation. from the examination we have been able to give it we consider it quite a success and believe it will be a standard work on the subject. .Sold only by subscription.

I ho following paper was then unanimous ly adopted. in recommending the above series of text >ks the committee have expressed not " i! > opinion, formed after a careful ' lamination of the most popular text books, but they believe they have also expressed t!u " °P"on of the great majority of intelli- Seat teachers in the county ; they would therefore, in behalf of the teachers of our common schools, most earnestly recommend the boards of directors of the several town ships, to take such measures to secure their speedy adoption, as they may deem most expedient ; and as frequent changes in books are attended with expense to the par ent, embarrassment to the teacher,and con fusion to chesses, they would fnrthcfr recom mend that no changes be thereafter made for the term of at least five years.

Twp. S. W. Ackley, i tanding Stone, Com. vs. Archibald MvUreejor.- dant with D.C. Barnes was indicted at Feb. Sessions for larceny and burglary. In Ju ly, 1865, the depot of the Northern Central Railroad at Troy, in this County, was for cibly entered, the safe in the office blown open, and express packages, and currency to the amount of about 811,000, taken from the safe. Among the express packages was one containing 810,400, in seven-thirties, addressed to the First National Bank of Towanda, sent from the Treasury Depart ment at Washington. Notwithstanding the offering of a large reward by the Express Company, and the endeavors of detectives, no clue was obtained to the perpetrators of the robbery, until December last, when McGregor and Barnes were seen under sus picious circumstances, at Laporte, Indiana, and being arrested and searched, upon the person of McGregor was found 81900 in 7-30's, corresponding in numbers with bonds stolen at Troy. The prisoners were brought to Troy, and after undergoing an examination were committed to the jail of this county. The Grand Jury having found a true bill, the cause was certified to the Oyer and Terminer, and came up for trial last week. The prosecution has been chiefly conduct ed by the agents of the Adams Express Company, in connexion with District Attor ney DA VIES . The Company was represent ed by CLARENCE A. SEWARD, of New York, and Messrs. PARSONS A CABNOCHAX, of Troy. The prisoners were defended by Messrs. MEBCUR A MORROW, of this county and by Messrs. POMEROY and FISK, of Rome N. Y. Witnesses were present, on behalf of the prosecution, from Laporte, Indiana, from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. On motion of the prison er's counsel, they were granted separate trials, and Archibald McGregor was placed upon trial. A jury having been empanelled, clerks employed in the Treasury were called to prove the sending of the package of $lO,- 500 in 7-30's to the First National Bank, supported by the books of the office—the notes found upon McGregor were identified as a portion of those sent —and the pack age was then traced and proven by the dif ferent agents and messengers through whose hands it passed, until it was deposi ted in the safe at Troy by Mr. Hoffman the agent there. It was also proven that Mc- Gregor, in Company with Barnes, was at Troy the day before the robbery was com mitted. The defense called but two wit nesses, from Rome, N. Y., who testified as to the former good character of McGregor, and to his being in possession of consider able property, and having purchased Trea sury Notes before July, 18C5. The Counsel for the prisoner asked the Court to charge the jury that the crime of burglary had not been committed, as under the terms of the penal code, a depot could not be considered as a " public building." The Judge so ruled, and instructed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty upon the count of the indictmeut charging burglary. The jury, after a short absence, returned a verdict of guilty of Larceny. The Court sentenced him to undergo an imprisonment in the Penitentiary for the term of three years—being the extent of the time fixed by law for the crime of larceny. Com. vs. Morgan Wilson Conk lie. —The defendant was indicted for larceny iu steal ing SFJ, the property of John Collins, of Monroe, Jury found prisoner guilty, and Court sentence him to undergo an imprison ment of one year in the Penitentiary.
