TRAMPS. Towanda, - like- all other

housekeepers es . cape 'almost daily visits
from -one or more of these professional

many what- the fellows- do with all the
cold vict•rals they gather. We learn that
they have a rendezCous in the basement
of the water-tank at the upper depot,
where the provender is carried and served
in royal style sometimes.

EDUCATIONAL.—Towanda has for years
been roted for its excellent' educational
facilities. More than twenti-tlve years
ago the , Institute was founded, and for
most of the time since has been in suc
cessful operation. There are scores of
young men filling responsible positions in
different parts of the country, whO receiv
ed their training inside the walls of that
riot altogether prepossessing appearing
building. At the present time the school
is doing sn excellent work, and every
year students are prepared for entering
advanced classes at College.
• Then our Graded School has within the
past few years become an institution of
which every citizen may feel justly proud.
On the erection of the new building four
-Years ago a now interest was manifested
in the school, and the number of pupils at
once increased from about 225 to nearly
five hundred:: The progress made by the
scholars and the care tskei by the Princi
pal arilltilis assistants, meet with
_the
hearty approval of the • directors and' pa
rents.' The Ohba school has come to be
patronized by the rich as well as the poor,
and is looked upon by-all as an institu
tion which is second to DO other
portance and value to our community.
- Other school bave been opened frord
time to time, and have all accomplished a
gofxl purpose. One of the latest of these
is Mrs. - GIBSON'S school for young ladies
and girls, established last year on Huston
'Street. So successful has the school prov
en,: that Mrs. G. is compelled to refuse
many applicants for want of room. Mrs.
G. has for a number_ of years enjoyed
the enviable reputation of being one of
the most accomplished and successful
teachers in the county, The - experience
Of those who "have patronized her here
during the past year, has fully sustain -d
the fame which she bad acquired in other
iilaces. We think she would be doing
only simple justice 'to her ability as an
iibstructbr, and the de mands of those who
have children requiring such a school, to.
secure more commodious rooms, so that
a larger number might be. enabled to
.profit by coming under her instruction.

words for a gentleman who is woll known

riends in Towanda :
ALETA'NDER VI. STEADMAN, Is
the Chief Engineer of the Penna. and
New York, and Geneva, Ithaca and Sayre
Railrpads. The Engineere.rooms in the
general office at Sayre having been made
ready for occupation, on Saturday last
Mir. STEADMAN transferred his office from
Wilkes-Barre to the City or the Plains.
"STEADY,"
as be is familiarly called; on
account of his square proportions, and
general relial.ility, is a great favorite
along the road, ana the arrival of the
train with his " traps " and his valuable
person was made the occasion of a great
ovation. A large number of the officials
of the Pa. it N. Y., G. I. S S.,
and
'Southern Oentral Railroads, headed by
their Superintendents, were drawn up in
line to receive him. The celebrated The
odore Thomas-Batt Orchestra discoursed
its most. inspiring Wag-ner music, and
fresh laurels were won by one wado bears
worthily., the name co: the great master
HAYDEN. ' , The honored recipient, almost
overcome by the hearty welcome, modest
ly expressed his thanks in a few forcible
sentences, descended from the platform,
and amidst a general handshaking the
train moved on. May he long be a resi
dent of Sayre, to which bp has been so
tbiliaP7 wl , l4lPettt"
.
Tax following, from the Pittston Qui
sette r illuitis' tes a practice whlotris by no
means aMflned to the parties mentioned;
and the comments of the ,QauUs are cer-
Minty just :
" The Gazette job office is -constantly
doing tlnemork from distant parts of the
State, yet Pinata - Ledge I. O. 0. P.
committee on bylaws found it necessary
to go to Philadelphia, and pay $B2 for a
job which we -offered' for $22, and when
the job was done it was full of errors.
We have seldom seen a job offered by any
of the lodges or secret societies that was
not peddled throughout • the county, for
the lowest bid. • Tct when these same
lodges have .resolutions of condolence or
things of that sort to publish they are
quite ready to have it done gratis The
thing does not seem to balance properly,
and needs to be looked into."
Ban Svonv.—Tbe Wilkes-Barra Leader
gives this sad history of a woman who re•
centiy died in That city :
" On Tuesday the life of a once lovely
woman , went out under circumstances
peculiarly sad and sorrowful. A few
years ago Dr. Cass was a practicing phy
sician in Duahore. 11e then had a hand
some wife and four children. Time pass:
ed and the Doctor died, leaving hie wid
ow and little ones to mourn his loss. How
or tumid what circumstances, Mrs. CASK
was induced to come to . this City is not
known, but hither she came some time
ago,..and for many months past has lived
in Hillard's block. Poverty overtook her,
and she was forced to earn her own liv
ing. She advertised herself as a nurse,
and those who have had her services at
test to the earnest .performance of her du
ties.
"Recently the woman was taken sud
denly ill, and Dr. Ptours was called to
her bedside. It was discovered that she
was suffering from a miscarriage caused
by overwoak. Then the question was
raised as to how sbe came to t place her
self in a condition to_ meet so sorry an
Issue. The woms.n'ilips were for a time
sealed,'but just before she died she told
to Dr. Prorrs and Alderman PARSONS 'a
pitiful story of her wrolfp. It appears
that a man from
. the vicinity of Dallas,
who is well known for intrigues of a vile
nature, in some way met her, and In time
speculated on her pinetiy, and forced ber
to a compliance with his brutal demands.
Of course it was done under. the guise of
protection, and the poor woman having
teken the first step, could not afterwards
recall it. Lately she has grown weaker.
The man who ruined .her, of course de
serted her in her extremity, and to-day
she is a corpse. We tell the story briefly
and without exaggeration. It forms an
other chapter in that mysterious volume
which time and experience are ever writ
ing."
A CORRPSI'ONDENT of the Athens Ga
zette gives the following particulars of a
fire at Green's Landing, on Wednesday
mornirig"of last week :
"This morning as we were in the act
of taking our last _snooze before begin
ning the labors of the day, a sudden cry
brought us to our . feet and our senses.
Upon looking out we saw FRANK Lis
coi.N running and heard the continued
shouts—" Fire ! tire ! lire !" Looking to-
wadi the store we saw the black smoke
issuing from the windows and doors in
dense volumes. Making a hasty toilet
and securing a couple of pails, we lost no
dime in reaching the scene of disaster,
where we found Mr. IRVINE LINCOLN,
Mr. J. A, WELLER, Mr. F. E. WELLER,
and soon all of the near neighbors, anx
ious to light the raging flames.
" No effort was made to save Mr. WEL
mut's store, . or the residence of 3111.0
WELLER, because the store was one mass
of tire inside, and the residence being so
close it haft to burn too. Mrs. IVELLii.n
was aroused, and the children secured;
then by great industry the furniture was
removed to a place of safety.
"Meantime LINCOLN Blom. shops be
ing in imminent danger, the new recruits
from the surrounding country assisted
the boys in • saving : their buildings, by a
judicious use of water and blankets. It
was a sorry, sight to • look upon., Little
children in their night clothes crying for
Ma to dress them. Old men whose sands
of life had , nearly run out, trying to save
something for them. Women carrying
water and working with the rest td save
Mrs. WELLER'S household' effects; and
the leaping, tongues of flame licking up
.with frightful rapidity the heart of the
"The cause of the fire is unknown at
present. It_was discovered by Mr. Lrx-
COLN just before six o'clock, and in a
very few moments was bursting from
•windows and roof'. A little .dog
• kept in
the store, perished in tbo tiarntls; and we
suppose the " girat " of the grangers; . but
he may have escaped in the excitement;
of course he would not appear in public,
and not having been ridden much of late,
he was •doubtless foxy, so has probably
visited some brother ere this. The Good
Templars lose over ono hundred dollars.
as they owned the furniture in the hall,
besides regalia, etc. It is a great loss to,
them, as they had no insurance. Tlie,l":
of 11. lose their regalia, etc. The Post-
Office WM also kept in the store and was
total loss. Considerable mail matter,:
including one registered package, sup
posed to contain money, all the records
of the office since it was established,
stamps, etc., being consumed. Fortu
nately- it 'was perfectly calm, else _other
buildings would have
_shared thn same
fate.
. "Mr. J. A. WELT ER's. loss is fully cov
ered by insurance, we believe, but Mr.
M. J. IVELLEa's was total."
EDITOR BBADFORD REPORTER : Recog
nizing the fact that your esteemed paper
reaches the eyes of more Republicans
than any other one in the county, we
wish if you can permit us the favor to say
a little in reference to the approaching
choice of a candidate for District Attor
ney..,This and a County Surveyor being
the only offices to be filled this year iu
our county, it has been determined to
make one job of them and also of the
electing delegates to the coming State
Convention.
With reference to the different candi
dates named for this office, We may' say
that it may be reckoned a matter of satis
-faction that the Republican party em
brAces'in its membership such a repro
sentation of the best character and talent
of the country, - so that frequently where
a nuqjber of candidates are presented,
nothiik can be said in disparagement of
any. , We concede it to be so in this cue.
The particular candidate with whom
we have been favorably impressed, and
whom we candidly believe it is the inter
est of the Republican party, of the people
in general, and of public justice, to have
in the position, is 1. McPherson, Esq., of
Towanda: .
It is a well-understood matter that the
duties of the District Attorney are to
maintain the peace and dignity of the
Commonwealth, and to discourage . and
repress crime by a vigorous' prosecution
of offenders.
From this circumstance an attorney of
some experience in coirducting criminal
cases is especially desirable as an incum
bent of the office of DiStrict Attorney.
That Mr. McPherson is thus specially
qualified, was proven to the satisfaction
of the Cour., the bar, the jury,, and the
spectator!, iu two different murder trials
upon which he has been engaged, and in
each of which tlie ultimate finding of the
law and the facti was iu accordance with
his argument. • -
Mr. McPherson is in every sense of the
word - a self-made man. His early life
was passed upon one of Bradford county's
hilly farms in the township of Herrick.
Virbile quite young be was qualified to
teach; subsequently he attended the Sus
qnehanpa Collegiate Institute at Towan
da,
and finished his course at Lafayette
College, defraying all, or nearly all, the
expense from the savings of his own labor
and economy. His high grade of scholar
ship, taken notice of by the professors at
Easton, was a necessary result of natural
talent and persevering hard work, com
bined and laid the boat foundation for his
subsequent success at the bar. He has
been practicing in our court five years,
,'the result of which boa placed- him among_
the first 'Allis profession. He has taken
an active and prominent part in all the,
political cont es ts during that period, and'
nas distinguished himself by his' discus
sion of national issues, as well as of local
and State issues.
Three years ago his - friends were much
disposed to place him upon the County
ticket for District Attorney, but Mr. Mc-
Pherson dctlined in favor of the present
worthy and gentlimanly incumbent. We
trust his many friends will take pains to
attend the pritherymeetings and choose
delegates favorable tkiihis nomination."
