Next Mr. Bum, PELOUBET died, and the day after Mr. BERRY'S sister died, .and then ISAAC PELOUBET died ; the same day his wife was taken down with the fe ver. The remaining sick ,were recover -1 ing. The doctors decided this sickness and mortality was not caused by any lo cal malaria, but was Typhoid Malarial fe ver, brought on_by over-work in the, hot sun and rendered fatal, from want of ac , climation.— Waverly Advocate. Tint following complimentary notice of our present excellent and energetic County Superintendent, Prof. ti.. W. RYAN, we clip from the Towanda corres pondence of the Wilkes-Bane Record of Monday last; and fully endorse'- every word of it. Prof. RYAN,-by his thorough knowledge of - what constitutes a good teacher, and his rigid determination to grant certificates to only these whom he considered good, coupled with his energy in the discharge of all the dutieS incum— bent upon him by virtue of the office he holds, has done more- within -the past year, to advance the common schools of this county to.a higher standard of use fulness, and to unite the people in their support, than has ever been accomplished before in the same length of time: That he is "the right man iu the right place," is a verdict endorsed by our whole people: 'The teachers' instithte closed at noon on Friday, last, after a very sirccessful terra of two weeks. About four hundred teachers attended the whole two weeks. County-Superintendent RYAN is entitled to much credit for the very% perceptible improvements in the , efficiency of the teachers. The county certificates are is sued only to those who can Successfully pas a-rigid examination. And his busi dess-like manner of conducting the affairs Of his office, have convinced those who 'desire to earn a living by teaching that they are not employed to hoe corn, chop wood, or use their brain in concocting schemes for passing away the time, but to labor hard in improving the minds of thoie entrusted to their care. Prof. RYAN has succeeded in creating considerable enthusiaism among both teachers and scholars throughout the county, and the people at large are beginning to express their pleasure in witnessing,the result." ONE of the most enjoyable pic-nics it has ever been our good fortune to partici pate in, was that of the Church of the Messiah.(Universalist) Suuday School, of this. : place, held at McCartny's 'Grove, ,Ulster, on Saturday last. A special train of three cars left the Court House' Switcl; at nine o'clock A. M., with about 130 scholars and their parents and friends, and arrived at Ulster Depot at 0.410, from whenCe the pleasure seekers marched to the beautiful grove, where they wore shortly after joined by a large delegation from Sheshequin: The day was a beauti • ful one, and through the timely fore thought of Mims. RocKwEL4 Nos- MAN and HKHRY SHAW, of Ulster, who bad erected tables, seats, swings, and •provided an ample-supply of water, the plc-ricers found nothing to prevent their at once commencing its enjoyments, which they pibceeded to"do. Quoit pitch ing, croquet playing, and numberlesS oth er harmless Sports were indulged in until 12 it., when the well-filled baskets were opened, and their contents enjoyed by a hungry but happy crowd. Abbot sr. x. Rev. Dr. TAYLOR called the assemblags to order, when for a couple of hours sing ! ing and short - addressee were listened to, and were a very enjoyable *kettles day's programme. At about 6 the large , assemblage began. to disperse and wend their way - homeward—those from this place, returning on the seven o'clock train. Not an accident of any, kind marred, the joys of the day, and it is:' the expression of all who participated that it was one of - the most enjoyable affairs of the kind ever held in our county. While all who were in any wise, connected with the man agement of the affair, are entitled to great praise, we shall make no apologies for particularly mentioning in this connection Mrs. 0. D. KINNEY, Mrs. L. F. GARDNER, :Mrs. Dr. TAYLOR, Hi& EDWARD WALL. ER, Mr.. a P. WHITCOMB, MIL HEART &AYRES and Mrs. C. & RUSSELL.

Angsat tat To TAE EDITOR OF THE REPORTER : A welcome Rik' is falling to-day, but one day will not suffice to fill the empty wells and cisterns hereabouta....After having the pleasure of attending the Bradford County Institute for nearly two weeks, we visited the one held, at Waverly, for Tioga County, N. Y. , Perhaps it would interest teachers to give a few notes. and items. About two hundred teachers were preient, and Professors DEGRAre and BARNES, State Instructors, under direc tion of'Com. H. W. CntLns, conducted the drills. The meetings were held in the Opera House, opening at nine o'clock A. X , with devotional exercises, after which 'some branch of study was taken up and instruction given, then folloWed a "rest " of ten minutes, then another study called up by the *terr, nofesior, and so on un til 12 noon. At 1:45 P. as., work resumed in the same manner, and with a couple of " rests " exhausted the timeellotted. I A teachers' examination was carried ,on from day to day at the close of the after noon session, or after four o'clock. Thursday evening Professor E. Y. HE GRAFF, of Albany, gave an interesting lecture to very nearly a full house, ,his subject being "The Power of Thought." Miss HODGES have aline recitation, "The Charcoal Man," and being recalled ren dered "The Pleas of the Bells" with line effect. Among other evening exercises, music was quite prominent—and good. Professor CIIILDS, though a young man, scorns to suit ae Commissioner of Schools, or in Pennsylvania as Superintendent of Public Instruction, and is gentlemanly and courteous. The number of schools in Tioga County is 165, showing more than a supply of teachers present. Sev eral persons were Orient sad interested in education—by way of selling books, and several Professors from different schools honored the gathering with their presence. An enterprising teacher from Bradford introduced one of the "starch globes," and from Professor - BARNES and others it received much praise. The opin ion prevailed that they were having a bet ter Institute thin we had, but from care ful observation we I,hink . the class-room division, as practiced by Professor RYAN, economy of time and more interesting. It isle) disparagement to say of the instruc tora that we bad as good and progressive ones, - Or of the teachers that Bradford County is it least equal.

DEDICATION OP THE HIDOBIIIIT BAPTIST ==i. Tle dedication of the Ridgbury Baptist Church, August 20, 1879, will long be re- Membered as eniel of the most joyfo days;ever experienced in the town, and it , - May not be out of place to give in this_ brief sketch, a short history of the recent religions movement in that part of the, town known as !curdle. In the autumn of 1870, P. 8. l EvxnErr, then pastor at East Smithfield, was called to the house of Mr. J. C. Rowena, to attend _ the funeral of a little daughter. Tho appear ance of the people, and the impressions of the day made the pastor feel that there was in that plan, clustered in that beauti ful valley, II noble people, intelligent •and energetic, and who would - appreciate as well as in any other place, the preaching of the Gospel,- if a willing shepherd could be found to labOr among them, and give to them the bread of life. Soon after thil occurrence death again made its appear war, this time the home of Mr. Cute, taking from the niet!of home also a dau- War, sad it so bapiemed the same Astor was f earled to ape& words of cheer to lift alo the bean towards the home•whither the loved one had flown. .. Again the need a preaching the Gospel was forcibly brought to the mind of the speaker, and the fiat hopresilans deepened until it had the stung appearance of duty. Throngt the:kindness =or Mr. Romasow, Mr: L iihrwass' hall' was procured for the pur pose "of holding seasons every Sunday afternoon. goon after this regular preach ing was established every punday,_ at 8 o'clock - P. t!., and in connection - with the preaching service, a flimdir "'shod was organized, which was at once quite well attended. Thus the meetings and Sun day school continued to grow in interest and usefulness until some time towards winter, when a series of =siting' resulted in the conversion cif many souls, among the number the Gm families of the'town. At length, owing to the fact that the Grange and Good Templets occupied the same hall, and the meetings sometimes conflicted, through the kindness, of Mr. Came, a hall was fitted up over his store room, tinily papered and seated- with chairs. Here the meetings continued to be held at sr. K., until the following April, when Mr. EvEnErr moved to Wellsburg, much nearer and easier of seas than Smithfield, when the hour of meeting was changed to 2, P. m. In Oc tober last the little church resolved to arise and build; and at once prepared a fine lot from D. H. Helmut', a genermas gift to the church. Some time in Novem ber the foundation was commeneed, and the building continued to grow at inter vals, at least, until last Wednesday. Aug. 20th, when it was dedicated to the worship of God. The church is 58-252, of Gothic finish, inside and out, and is surmounted by a very fine 'steeple, nearly eighty feet in height, was • designed by J. C. ROISINEiON, mid built by M. E. Coors& There were several fine donations _ to the church by friends.' - The ,chandeliers were presented by a Mrs. HALSTEAD, sister of Wm. GON muss, of Orange, N. J., and showed a fine and careful selection. Thirty topieis of Hymnbooks,)Bev. ROBERT LOWERY, of Plainfield, N. 3.. a fine Bible from JOSEPH ROBINSON, of Elmira, N. Y., and a draft on a Chicago bank by D. W. Co vim & %makes, as a memorial offering totheir late father, Mr. C. T. Covn.t., of forty dollars. This was a Uoble offering, and highly appreciated by the church and its friends. The interior of the church pments a fine and striking , appearance. The ceiling is calcomined i!ith a delicate' blue tint, while the • sides are a straw color. The seats were made at Mr. SPAULDLNG'S mill, Elmira, and the material selected from the best ash and black walnut, and pre sent a very fine appeirance. The book racks, of walnut, were made by S. B. Sierra,. of Wellsburg, N. Y. The pulpit platform is 10 x 16, with.•an arch sprung over it, 16 - feet high. The platform is covered with a fine • carpet, from the famous carpet house of Wm. E. HAT, Elmira, N. Y. The aisles are covered with the best cocoa matting. The lecture room, which seats about sixty persons; is furnished with good chairs, from the house of J. M. ROBINSON, Elmira. The seating capacity of the house is three hundred and twenty, and can ac commodate fully four hundred, and there was more than that number in the house on the dig of dedication.. On the day of dedication the; entire in debtedness of the house was three hun dred and sixty dollars, which was all met before the house was dedicated. _After making a careful count of all cash received during the day, and a little on hand from old subscriptions, and twenty dollars still in: the pastor's hands from the Covitt. fund, it was found'that there was cash on hand to meet the three hundred and sixty to the amount of two hundred and forty two dollars. What do you think of that, Mr. Editor, for a church dedication ? All 'debts met, in cash, but one hundrid and eighteen dollars, yet to be paid. But such are the facts, and such are the facts to the credit of the good people of Ridgbury, where it was, and of .whom it was repeat , edly said they could not build a church. The church is built, however, just the same, and there are but few churches in the county built in better taste and finer finish- than the First Baptist Church of Ridgbury. I must not forget to mention that among many others interested in this noble undertaking was our worthy Sheriff, PET= J. PEAR,' who gave the trustees access to a pile of seasoned lumber, con taining about ten thousand feet, and told them to use what they-wanted of it, and they wanted the moat of it. What other county cati'boait of such a generous gift from their Sheriff, after the election? Among die most generous subscribers to the building was Mrs. VstillusKlßK, widow of the late- SYLVANIIS VANBUS KIRK. Mr..). C. ROBINSON, who besides giving liberally, spent a great deal of time and personal labor for its completion, to whom the community owes a lasting debt of gratitude. The house could not possi bly have been in readiness by , the day ap pointed if it had not been for his noble asskstance. Other contributors were IsAac BALD WIN, JOHN McilEn, Wu.. G.
