'I he Potter Journal, in uotic_ ing her death, trutlifully.and feelingly re marks z . ‘q7or over twenty years hail Miss STOCK wELO!Cen knoWn and loved in this community. \She came here, a you ng girl, to assist Mr, llElinurett in the Acad emy, and, by her earnest work •and high character, took a place in the regards of those who canto to know her that can be attained by few. It is no description of her to say that she was \eartnst, faithful,. conscientious. One may be all these, with a far lower grade of zeal, faith and con science.; but with her these qualitics were developed into a stainless honor, so -true, so high, as to be far beyond a4,common attainments. It, is this that makes her loss so great to her friends, to her many pupils, to-all within any possible reach of her intlnepet. A character so pure and noble rarely spreads its beneficient, influ ence around us, so - it is but rarely that we can lose so much as we do in her passing from' thiglife. In the heart, in the home, in the life of every pupil there aro truer thoughts, - nobler desires, higher impulFzes . and better daily walks, because of her J. E. PIOLLET, PreAident teaching To these..nearest and clearest to her we have the right of a . mutual grief to offer Cordial sympathy." • Miss STOCKWELL will be remembered by many-of the students of the Institute as a former successful teacher in that in stitution. TUE "clam bake" at Weston's Grove on Friday last, wail a most enjoyable af fair. At 10 o'clock in the morning, about one hundred and fifty ladies and gentic men embarked on a special train provided. by' Superintendent Juinia, and proceeded to the grounds where the company _had been preceded by Mr. Simr.Ey and.his as sistants, and everytbiUg made ready for the enjoyment of the party. The beauti ful grounds soon presented the appearance of an old-fashioned pie-nie. The iiarty was divided into small groups, who were enjoying themselves according to their i 'Aastes—some in social chat, others amps od themselves,by playing croquet, pitch ing quoits, etc. About one o'clock, a bomitiful colation, consisting of broiled .chicken, roast pig, sandwiches, fruit, etc., was spread, and aftei all had been well served, many basketfuls might have been gathered up, io bountiful was the provi sion made by Mr. SEELEY for the wants of the "inner man." No little interest was manifested on the part of the comp:i lly to witness the infalmi operande of bak ing clams, and when everything wits In readindss nearly all present • gathered arour4: tine pits to see the operation. Ow ing to the dampness of the ground a much longer time was occupied in cooking the clams than was anticipated; and they were not served until a late hour, but when the pits were uncovered the two barrels s>f clams were soon disposed of. The company reached home safe and hap ' py at an early hour in Life evening, feeling well satisfied with the day's enjoyment. , Snmintentleut Juni> acted as conduc tor, and Master-Mechanic Tlini as engi neer, and to both gentlemen nuch credit is due for the unallayed pleasure of the Occ:u.sion.

Wtsox.—The Presbyterian Church of Wysox'isprobably one of the oldest brick Church. edifices in Northern Pennsylva nia. Its Spiro. has pointed heavensiard= for more than half a century.

The noble men who devised means for the construction of this noble old structure, have most of them, passed on to that bourne &MI which no travel ler.ere retu rns." We remember many of theQts 11101 whose attachment and devo- tion to this mother Church were of an ex ceedingly strong character; they loved . her as•she was in those bygone days, and on this account the pastor and people who care for her to-day thought best tiot to Materially change the style Or capabitYof the building, but to adorn and beautify her interior; and make. .her again what' she was fifty years ago, one of the most inviting and attractive places of worship in the country. This they have certainly done and in a manner that certainly re flects much credit {won those who-bad it in charge.
