- To KILL Morns.—As this is the active
season of the moths, it may. bo as well to
mention that there is nothing to compare
to benzine as a remedy. There is no dan

the odor disappeari nearly as soon as it
dries. Upholsterers almost universally
apply it.

had sunflowers growing about it." The
advice is worthy of consideration as it

DELTaop Mss. Mitactin.—The many
friends of Mr:BDWAIID G. Mitneui, were
greatly shoekod last evening, , to hearthat
his wife bad died after an illness of but a
few hours. Mr. Mancmt resides in Gov
ernor Morris house on' Franklin street,
and it was there Mrr. Maacua breathed
her last. It seems but a few months ago
that Mr. MEneen brought his bride to
Wilkes-Barn, and now, almost boron
the honeymoon bad waned, ho is so sud
denly and terribly bereaved. Could sym
pathy do aught for the stricken husband,
his woo would be light:Fled speedily, for
there are scores who mourn with him in
this- his hour of affliction. Time alone
can alleviate his sorrow and soften the
pangs ho now endures.—Wilkes-Barre
Record, June 16th.
A Lawn number of the members of the
M. E. Church gathered at the Parsonage
- on Monday evening last to tender their
congratulations to their pastor, the Rev.
G. C. Johns, on his safe return from - his
foreign trip. The occasion was a very
enjoyable one to all present, and will long
be remembered by all ratio participated iu
it. Rev. Dr. WENTWOUTII, Presiding
Elder, in a abort address,-presented Mr.
JONES with a beautiful basket. of flowers,
concOaledin which was a purse contain
ing $76, the gift of loving friends. G. A.
Our-.#i6ty, Esq., read a very touching
address of welcome, and Mr._Jorms, al
though visibly aftbcted by the unexpected

propriato and feeling rematks. The Rev

A WARM:IIO'TO CIDER-DICiNKER.i.--A
curious case that has just come to light at
Nirthbridge, Massachusetts, of tho death
of two persons and the expected death of
two others, all in one family, from the ef
fects of cider-drinking, will reinforce the
arguments of those who "condemn the
practice. As nearly , as can bo made out,
the father, aged 70, the mother, 56, and
two sons, 35 and 31, have drank since last
fall between 40 and 50 bands of cider.
The mother was taken with Ms six weeks
ago yesterday and died the next Thurs
day. The youngest son was taken with
tits three weeks ago and died on Thurs
day, and last Thursday the oldest son was
taken with fits like the 'others, - and Fri
day night ,his physicians •gavo him up.
The father is also in a very bad condition,
"sees snakes" nearly everk night, and
frequently gets up in tho night and runs
about' the house crying "Fire" at the top
of his voice, doubtless suffering from de
lirium tronvis. All parties suffer great
ly. No cause but the cider-dritOting can
be feu ml.—Sprinzfleld Republica4.

BAD ATIIENS.-1 correspondent of the
Elmira Advertiser, writing from Athens
ou Moeday last, gives the following par
ticulars of an attempted high Way robbery
in that village on `Sunday evening :
"While Mi. Eat.. Lane, of Towanda;
was driving up , , Main street last night
abOut 11 o'clock 4 his horse was seized -1)3 ,
the bead by two • men, and tivo more
grasped his carriage and, attempting to
climb in, demanded his money. After
several ineffectual attempts to unloosen
the grasp of the' assailants, he.suceeeded
in urging the horse forward so suddenly
as to shake them off, but lost his carriage

hie and Obase was made, but owing to the
extremq darkness'all escaped. This morn

Pic-Nic.—On Friday last - the students
and friends. of the Stsqueliantia-Collegi
ate Institute enjoyed one of those pie-nics
for which the school is noted, at Weston,
on the Barclay Railroad. The day was
an exceptionally fine ono, and consequent
ly' quite a large number gathered at tho
depot at 7:30 A. 11., with the determina
tion to have a "good time." The train
was under the management of Conductor
PARSELLS, hence it is needless to say that
we reached there safely. Arriving at the
grounds wo proceeded to unload the eata
bles, etc., and to prepare for the day's
sports. A dancing . platform had been
erected, and the lovers of dancing tripped
the "light fantastic toe" to thc .musie of
ICEELtot's Orchestra. Sc me played cro
quet, while others were trying their skill
at " target shooting." . At 12 o'clock M.
.all were called to come and partake - of the
refreshments which had been provided.
After visiting the schocd and pronouncing
it a "success." and doing many other
'things too numerous .to mention, we
returned home, reaching Towanda at six
o'clock P. it., everybody fading better
fur • the day's recreation. Among the
guests were Judge Moitrionr and wife, Su
perintendent Junn and wife, Mrs. Colonel
Juitts M. , ;sott and Mrs. Dr. STEVENS.

That the exorcises as a whole were fine,
seems to be the general opinion. Of the
declamations, those of Mr. BlumEn and
Mr. BUFFlNGTONworei.particul4rly Btriir
lug, and showed in their delivery the care
ful preparation and•native talent of the
speakers. , ThO orations were evidently
tl4e products of close thought and study.
Mr. TUOMPSON spoke
_effectively of the
rules governing labor and capital,' and
described them as equitable and beneficial
when rightly , applied. No ono of the
original compositions displayed a more
caieful analysis' or greater rhetorical ac
curacy than the oration of Mr. Jouturos.
Comprehensive as was the subject, its
salient points were successfully grouped
and presented in the aliort.time allotted.
In our judgment, the orationlif Mr. Mou
nts prcoluccd the moskpleasing effect of
the evening's exercises. To' an interest
ing and well-written oration, Mr. Mounts
united the further recommendations of a
clear, ringing voice, and an easy, graceful
manner.
The audience was unpleisantly surpris--
ed by the brivity of Mils STEWART'S reC7.
itation. Miss TRACY'S rendering of "Bis
tor, and I " was much admired ;. at the
same time, she gave the impression- of
reserve power. Miis DAVIES has always .
twin a favorite with Towanda audiences,
anVin no degree, disappOinted the expec
tations of-this. Mor style, so entirely her
own, as unstudied, as pleasing, with many
gave her recitation the first place among
the perlonna.nees of the evening. Miss
IltsroN'il essay showed extensive reading
and a correct idea of the relative merit, of
American poets. JOAQUIN MILLER and
BItET HAUTE cannot rival linvAsix and
LONGFELLOW. NO master. of the style
and diction of the former can be sure of
lasting fame. Musical critics praised the'
execution of the parts, - both vocal and
instrumental. The valedictory address,
deliVercd by Mr. Satat:Et. M. IlusTo•i, was
'sound and logical, though no attempt at
oratorical o'i:et was app4rent. The pre
sentation of diplomas followed the vale
dictory address., Miss MAnY J. Hums:
graduated in the Academ i c course, and
Mr. SA3irr.t. M. Iftwrozi in the Collcge
Preparatory course. The exereises.closed
_ with remarks and player by Professor
Qui.NLAN.
THE SULLIVAN CENTENNIAL.
't The adjourned meeting of the Centennial Com

the eenttititteu: The colebratlon will be one of the
greatest gatherings MAL ever lids valley saw.

The above paragraph suggests the
movements now being made in Central
arid Southern New York, for the suitable
observance of the ono hundredth am:liver
saryof the expedition against the Western
Indians, under 1 the command of Major-
General Joirx Suf.t.iv_tx, in 1779. - 14 eve
ry way this will doubtless be the most
grand and imposing celebration ever at
tempted in this part of the country. A
great variety of circumstances combine to
give it interest. It was the only really
military' movement' undertaken by the
United States in Northern Pennsylvania
and Southern New York during the Rev
olutionary war, and so far as we in Brad
ford, Tioga ..and Chemung counties are
concerned, the only military inovemwnt of
any great consequence in our history. It
was, in fact,.one of the most important
events in one Revolutionary war. It was
in contemplation for mouths. Troops
were gathered, from Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts, and Connecticut, who .were
commanded by some of the ablest:Getter
' als in the'country. It was st movement
minx akably more -hold and hazardous .
than its modern counterpart, " Sherman's
March to the Sea," as the country was
measurably barren of - supplies, the means
of transportation difficult, and the enemy
one whose mode of warfare was the moat
savage and treacherous of any nations on
earth. Among its results was the lireak-
ing down-of the towering strength of the
Six Nations, who for the two years previ
ous had "hung like scythe of death over

PMIEHAL OP 0. T. 007111 L.
The funeral of Mr. C. T. Covn.n took
place this morning at 10 o'clock; from his
nsidence; about one mile west of Penny-
I f
villa, Bradt()ltlCounty, Pa. Mr VILL
came to the above named p from
Hartford, Connecticut, in 181 , then but
a boy seven years old. On th 3lst of He
comber, 1828, he marrie d Br ELIZABETH
COLEMAN, who lived with him until 1837,
when she loft this earthly house for a
home in heaven. • . .
Us never moved front the place of his
first settlement until be was carried by
his 'neighbors and friends to the silent
tomb. t3ixty-three years out of seventy
were spent on the old farm, clearing up
the land, building up the place, and mak
ing for himself a comfortable home iu his
declining age. Ile was the father of 12
children, eight of whom survive him.
Five were present at the funeral. • .
41 few years ago, when the fever for go
inMWest ran very high, his entire family
settled in or near Whitehall, -Michigan,
where they still reside, and where by in
dustry and many privations and economy
they have•accumulated much wea)th and
rank among the first citizens of tli6 place.
Mr. Covtu. was 11 man oVi L ar more
than ordinary mind, and was capable ,of
tilling a much mom prominent post in
life than a farmer. He was a man of fine
feeling and always ready and willing to
entertain, friends or strangers, rich or
poor. lie seldom ever passed any one on
the street without speaking to them. -
Children loved to meet him because ho
always greeted them with kind words
and entertained there, with amusing :ste
ries and anecdotes, many of them coming
under his own observation or Woven in
-his own experience.
In the community where ho lived he
will be much missed as a genial friend,
kind neighbor, and-wise counselor. That
ho had many friends was plainly seen by
the great number of persons present at
his funeral ; despite the gweltering heat
and clouds of dust, it was impossible to
accommodate all..who were present, • and
when it came to view the remains for the
last time, scores of peoplo wended . their
way through the crowd to look fOr the
last time on the face of a friend'. .
All was done for Mr. Covril. that mor-
tal could do.- His wife and daughter were
untiring in'their attentions to him during
the brief illness, And when no earthly
friend could "comfort _ nor quiet" him, his
daughter wOuld,hy her words of sympa-
thy and untiring kindness, cheer him and
quiet him, and - thus calmly and quietly
ho fell asleep. -
The funeral Emmen was preached- t hy
P. S. EvEns.TT, of Wellsburg, from Ile
text, "We spend our lives as a tale that
is told." The funeral was in . charge' of
Major J. C. Row :so*, of Bentley. Creek,
