Jonathan Benjamin vs. Mary Benjamin. The civil list for the second week was continued, and jurors drawn notified not to ,attend as it was expected that the case of KINGBLAND would occupy the entire week. THE DIAMOND DICKENS—DAVID COF FERPIELD. —We have the statement from the publishers, that the three first "dia monds" of this brilliant cluster have met with a side of forty-five thousand copies.— They are • 'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club," "Our Mutual Friend, and the ' 'Personal Experience of David Copper field the Younger." That the enterprise is success is no less certain than it is grati fying to all who admire its standard char acter, convenient size, clear type and gen eral comeliness. And it is almost equally satisfactory to know that the illustrious author shares in the profits of the publish ers, accruing from its sale—that, although stolen fruit is considered "sweetest," his labor does not go unrenumerated. Socially, Americans may not owe as much to Dickens as do his countrymen for his attempts to elevate their humanity, yet, in a literary point of view, we must acknowledge that no one, at home or abroad, delights us more than he has done for thirty years past.— "Pickwick," the initial of his humorous works, and still the most amusing ; "Our Mutual Friend," his latest, and by many deemed equal to his best, and "David Cop perfield," undoubtedly the superior of all the rest, are now before the public in this dainty form and dress, and their rapid sale well attests the popularity they have achieved. Every lover of Dickens should get this edition. The illustrated volumes are $1.50 each, and the plain, 51.25. They can be obtained at the publishers' prices, at the Bookstore. MARRIED. ROGERS—BAKER—At Canton, May 11, 1867, by Rev. D. Loomis, W. W. ltogers, M. D. of East Burlington, to Miss Augus ta A. Baker, of Canton. PIERCE—KENNEDY—At the residence of the bride's father in Center Point Ind. April 23,1867, Henry M. Pierce of Wy sox Pa. to Mira J. Kennedy. DIED. WILCOX—In Franklin, Bradford Co. Pa., July 27th, iB6O, Gates Wilcox, in the 76th year of his age. He was born Sept 21st, 1790, in eastern lthode Island. He was very extensively known, having lived in a great many differ ent places. From Rhode Island he accom panied his father to Chenango Co. N. Y. in 1805 and settled on a farm. For a number of years that occupation interested his mind. But after awhile he commenced a more pub lic business as mill builder, and during his life built twenty one mills and several other factories. He was one of the most thor ough-going and energetic men of the age.— He was Superintendent of the poor house in Chenango Co., three years, but the most of his life was spent in mill building, and Pennsylvania will long enjoy the benefit of his skill in that line, as most of them were built in its pine forests, and many of them are yet in operation along the West Branch, from the month of the Loyal-Sock up to Youngwomanstown ; also the Pine Creek lumber region has very many visible marks of his industry : And too Wellsboro, Tioga Co. can speak of his early intelligence. It may also be remembered that the great booming plan for holding logs in the rapid West Branch was put on foot by him ; and perhaps we can safely say that there is not a mountain along the West Branch and Pine Creek range that he did not explore. Always resolute and determined, he gene rally sue ceeded in whatever he undertook, and though failimg in some iustances he would try again, and thus he became vietor. In his life he blessed a large family, haying married three times, leaving two children by his widow Mrs. Wilcox, in Franklin. He passed his last days on the farm known as the Hawley place. Hie character as a citi zen was one of the most noble, kind, and generous hearted especially to the poor.— He said that he never designedly wronged a pei-son. He was a good farmer, a peace able man, a fine neighbor, a true Republi can Patriot, hating everything pro-slavery in its nature ; and when Abraham Lincoln fell he wept like a child. As a christian, he made a public profes sion of religion in his early manhood, and during his last illness (which was very pro tracted) he was one of the most patient un complaining and resigned men that I ever saw, giving good evidence that he was pos sessed of those sustaining virtues of the christian religion, and was frequently heard to say that lo him the future looked bright -and we trust he is now at rest. His labors done securely laid In the last long retreat, Unheeded o'er the silent dust The storms of life shall beat. Yet not thus lifeless in the grave The vital spark shall lie ; For o'er lifes wreck that spark shall rise, To seek its kindred sky. E. B. Special Notices.

Towanda, March 1, 18G7.-*lm*. DECKER BROTHERS NEW SCALE PIANOS. —The following notice of these celebrated pianos is from the pen of Henry C. Watson, Editor of the American Art Journal and one of the best critics in musical matters in the United States. The new scale square piano just turned out by Decker Brothers' No. 91 Bleecker Street, is an instrument of rare and extra ordinary beauty. Admirable as their instru ments have been,heretofore, they are entire ly eclipsed by this recent improvement. The principle upon which the Decker Bros pianos are made, and of which princi ple they hold the exclusive Patent, is that all the strings shall have their bearings or contact points, upon wood. This is obtain ed by raising the bass end of the plate in the casting, which permits the strings to pass under it to the tuning pins, und rest upon the wrest plank. Holes corresponding to the tuning pins, but larger, are cast in the plate, so that none of the resonant mate rial of the piano, comes in contact with iron. Decker Bros, have tested this Patent principle on an enlarged scale, and have gained results in proportion. The tone, which is exquisitely refined, rich and sym pathetic, lias vastly increased in power, gaining in grandeur of volume, without los ing any of those fine qualities, which always characterized their instruments and have made them a solid reputation wherever they have become known, We can imagine nothing finer of their class than the new scale square pianos of Decker Bros. Faith ful, delicate, and highly finished workman ship, gives the result of a perfect equality in all their instruments. This fact has led to the general remark among the best pro fessors, that one has no "need to choose among the pianos of the Decker Bros, for they are all equally admirable." The name of "Decker" has been made a valuable trade mark by the Decker Bros., on account of the superb and trustworthy instruments which they manufacture. This fact has been taken advantage of by other parties, who are now using the name of Decker in the hope of profiting by the pres tige which it confers. But the public must not be led astray. The Decker instruments which stand so high in reputation through out the United States, are the Patent pianos manufactured exclusively by Decker Bros, of No. 91 Bleecker Street, New York, and tkese can always be known first, by their rare beauty, and power of tone, fine touch, and superior finish, and secondly, by the words Decker Bros.' Patent, June,lß63,cast on the left hand side of the iron plate, with out which there is no genuine Decker Bros. pianos. Purchasers therefore bearing these points in mind, and remembering the date of the Patent particularly, can be certain of securing the genuine instrument. Nero Tllioertisements.
