SUICIDE AT ATHENS.:—A young man
about twenty-two years of ago, by the
name of AMY Datinom &immitted sui
cide by taking laudanum , in Athena ten
Monday evening last. Several causes are
assigned for his rashness. One is that he
had' just been discharged from his posi
tion in the Novelty Furniture Works;
and another, that ho had been refused by
a young lady with whom he had been
keepidg company. DEOROFF was twenty
two years of ago, and at one time was a
compositor on the Athens Gazette.
ABOVUT half past eleven o'clock last
night, fire broke out it. the kitchen part
of CooPER Macs's residence, on John
street. The flames spread 'rapidly, and
despite the efforts of the willing neigh
bors, soon gained the main part, and
seemed bound to destroy the whole build
ing before the arrival of the fire company.
After considerable difl'Aculty, the engine
was set on Centre -street, and a good
stream soon extinguished the flames.
The building was insured for about $BOO.

The County Commissioners took pos

illumination of their buil. ugs. .
BaNTLEY Creek is al ..ost dry, and was
never known to be as •ry as now. Springs

Fr RECORD YOUR DEEDS.—The progress
of time continually develops much careless
ness in the matter of recording deeds, and
litigation as to the ownership of property
is aconseqUent evil of the neglect. The
law on this matter provides that all deeds
shall be recorded within six months after
the date of their drawing up, and if this
is not done they shall be void as against a
subsequent purchaser for value. Delin:
quents in these matters frequehtly have
serious cause to regret non-cbmplianco
with the law; finding that through false
economy they have lost their property.
The law provides the methockfor Perfect
ing their titles, and it is theif own fault
that they do not receive its heneilt.
A good many fishermen in this vicinity'
are in the habit-of setting outlines in the
river for the purpose of taking bas.. Such
persons may perhaps save theihselves
trouble and expense by giving tip the
practide. A gentleman or Bloomsburg,
Columbia County, being in doubt as to
whether the Jaw permitted the taking of
bass by means of outlines, sot a line
caught_ ba,sii and had himself arrested in
order to settle the question. The case
cane before Judge ELwELL, on Wedue:
day of last week, and the ,charge of the
Court was - decidedly against the practice.
The jury took the case, deliberated about
an hour, and brought in a verdict of guil
ty; attaching a fine and costs. Outlines
are at a discount in Columbia County,
now, and',since the law in this county is
the same as in Columbia, our outline fish
erinen will do well to take warning. •
UNcLa Tom's CABIN.—The celebrated
Mit DRAPEIi Uncle Tom's Cabin
Company will be at Mercur Ilall, on Sat
urday, September 20th. This Company
is noted as being the largest and most
complete organization that 'presenta this
great drama. It is the only company that
carries special scenery-for the production
of the great Mississippi steamboat scene, :
the great cotton plantation scene and the
- magnificent transformation scene of . the
" Beautiful Gates Ajar." This compa
ny also his a full band of genuine colored
(ex-slaveti) jubilee singers, who appear in
their plantation songk banjo solos, etc.,
etc. They have the best Uncle Tom, the
best Eva,, the hest Marks the Lawyer, and
best Aunt:Tophelia on the Stage, and the
greatest " ToPsy " living. Notwithstand
ing the unusual excellence of this strong
company, they have reduced their prices
to twenty-five and thirty-five cents. The
hall will surely be crowded. Remember,
Saturday night, September 20th.
WE FIND in-the proceedings of the
Bradford County Teachers' Association
the following extraordinary action :
" Superintendent Ryan moved that re
porters be appointed .to keep records of
the proceedings for the various county
papers. -Mr. Pitcher amended, that a re
porter be appointed for the Daily Review
only. The motion as amended was car
ried, and Geo. M. Marshal was appointed:"
Considering thet the ItitrotaTEß his for
years devoted a considerable portion of
its ipaee to educational'Matters, and that
the other papeni of the county have also
shown a similar disposition, we look upon
this action of the Association as`not only
ungenerous but insulting. We do not be
lieve that it reflects the feelings of any
portion of the teachers of the county,. for
we are certain that them are but few of
them who are concerned in school-book
'profits. Notwithstanding the action of
the Association, we shall still continue to
aid the School cause, and our columns are
always open to anything which will con
tribute to the prosperity and advancement
of the Educational interests of tae county.
BRILLIANT WEDDING AT CANTON.
Canton was the scene of an elegant and

Ibr space to exhibit products and goods
in Ake several departments of the fair.
The purpose to exhibit is not confined to
farmers, but their wives and daughters
have also entered. into competition, re
ceived to put the vicar of the household,
the dairy and the garden with the farm, -
the granary, the mill and thei stall, by
which. we will secure an exhibit grand
in magnitude, interesting in detail, and
magnificent in itsrvaried perfection.
The creditable feature of the' fair is the
interest which young womenind men en
gaged inlarm industry take in it. The
young housewife of the farmi is resolved
to establish the perfection of her skill in
the dairy, where the farmer's wife and
daughter of Bradford County have al
ways been famous, and which will be
shown at this exhibition in hotter and
cheese.. Nor will it be confined tq l
but be extended to the best preserves of
all. varieties—pickled, -canned and dried
fruit, baking, etc., all of which are as im

Success in raising grain or 'stock. We
take great pleasure in noting the interest
with which the farmer's wife and daugh
ters are thus entering on the rivalries of
the fair, because it is creditable to them,
-and still more creditable to the county.
SINGULAR DEATH.
A.., J. LLOYD, 'an esteemed citizen of
Wyalusing, was found drowned in a well
in his cellar, at about five o'clock on
Thursday afternoon last. Our Wyalusing
correspondent-gives the following account
of the sad affair :
" A. J. Lloyd, a prominent and respect
ed citizen 'of this place, met with a singu
lar and fatal accident on Thursday after
noon. The family were all out except
Mr. Lloyd,t who lied complained of feeling
quite badly, and particularly \ dizzy. Mrs.
Lloyd had left the house at four o'clock
P. u., and when. she returned, about 5:15,
she found her husband in a well in the
cellar, head downwaid, the well being only
about three and. one-half feet deep„ and
containing about six inches of water. One
arm"was'down iu the well, and under him
a dipper, as if reaching for water when
he fell iu.. On the kitchen table stood a
camphor bottle, and by it a newspaper,
on the margin of which was written , the
words.: "Su deathly sick ; how strange I
reel ; I cannot live long ; liaMblin be good
to your mother, and to your grand pa
rents. Meet me in 'leaven."
• It seems that being taken suddenly
worse, he went to the water - pail, which
being empty, he went down to the well in
the cellar for water,d while reaching
down to dip it up fell an and was unable
to extricate Itimself.i
Esquire Porter summoned a jury ceni
sistiug of J. H. HOward, J. H. Stuart, N.
J. Gaylord, Chamberlain, W. H.
Kintner, and John Gaylord, and held an
inquest, the verdict being in accordance
with the above facts. -r
Mr. Lloyd wa d s extensively known; and
was respected rand beloved by all who
knew him, and 'his funeral on Saturday
was largely attended, and but few dry
eyes were in the congregation: He leaves
a father, mother, wife and only eon,

A BRADFORD COUNTY MAN linunsn.—
We clip the following from the Bingham
ton Leader of Friday; last ;
" William Shaver, of Wells Settlement,
Bradford County, Pa., drove to this city
after a load of lime and plaster, and had
in his pocket an amount of money 'which
parties had learned of last evening. At
about three o'clock this morning, while
Shaver was walking on Lewis street, as
he claims, he was met by two men whom
be recognized as having seen the night
before in a saloon on Court street. One
of theni, without warning, jumped upon
him; Sand the other went through his.
pockets, breaking his watch chain and
tearing 'he clothes off his back. Shaver
gave an alarm, and the ruffians made
their escape without, getting any of his
valuables. Shaver this morning present
ed a painful appearance. His throat was
blackened where the fingers of the at
tempted robber bad choked him. His face
was scratched, an eye blackened, and- his
coat bad a tear the entire length down
the back and from sealu to seam cross
wise-the back. He had pinned it togeth
er and made it appear as well as possible.
The police are on the scent."

EDITOR BRADFORD REPORTER :—Newe
at our quiet home at Millview - are
not very abindant, at least are not of
such a nature as to be of general interest.
The people around us are a bard working
class, and have plenty to do without car
rying news ; yet it may be possible that
some persons can find a little ,time beside
that employed in' attending to their l owa
affairs, to reach over and help in other
peoples' business. ... The farmers are 'pre
paring considerable sea far winter wheat,
having been encouraged to do so by the
good harvest just reaped and gathered,in,
some having realized
of
bushels
to the acre. Some of the land that is be
ing sowed is new, having been but recent
ly cleared of timber, the old =Riveted
ground if manured and limed +duces
well, often exceeds the new laid trio the
number of bushels per acre. Spring wheat
often does well on some farms. Oats are
generally a good crop this year; they will
average with other years both as to quan
tity and quality. Corn • and buckwheat
promise a good yield.... The Sunday
Schools around are spoken of_ as being
well attended ; we trust Sunday
means
are becoming more and more a of
g00d... .Though there are .no large vil.
lages near us, yet the people are regular
ly supplied with preaching of-the Gospel.
Th'e W. M. Quarterly Meeting -held at'
Hill's Grove the last two days of August,
was well attended and highly enjoyed.
Rev. R. 'W. PADORAM, . of Ridgbury,
Bradford County, was in attendance, and
preached,four sermons full of spirit and
power The Elk Creek Sunday School
held a pic-nic August 21st, at the mouth
of that creek, in a beautiful grove of su
gar itrees, and was an enjoyable time to
all we trust... 7 The Bethel Sunday School
held a plc-nic in a grove' owned by SEP-

attended ; the people listened to four short
addresses, and good vocal and instrumen.

great exertion- until the fire company ar
rived and soon extinguished the names.
The house was badly damaged, but was
insured for $BOO, which will probably
cover the loss. Considerable damage, was
done to the goods in removing them, and
there wee no insurance on them.... The

Mn. EDITOU : Our Village is very qulot
at' present.... We are having plenty of
cool and dry weather. Most of the Crops
have been gathered, and our farmers' at
teotioti and energies have recently been
directed to the efiitting, storing and dry
ing of the tobacco ,crop, which is getting
to be quite a bugaess in this section....
The dry weather.' has materially injured
the flavor and size of the late fruits, pota
toeN 'TRUMAN HOLCOMB raised
on his hill faini 254 bushels of wheat from
12 acres. Who can beat it? Some laud
in this section anly yielded from 0 to . 10
bushels per acre. Can this be the differ
ence between good rand poor farming?
...Those parties who stole the ," sweet 1
potatoes," andwhe lay thiiir hands pro- '
miscnously upon grapes, apples, melops,
etc., in the day time or sitherwise, had
better looks "leetle out." .. ..It hog been
something of a query to many why - several
charming young ladies on Smithfield+st.
always look so stylish and winsome on
Sunday afteilioims of late. Mrs. Parting: ,

Mn. Enron: Upwards of six hundred
people from the western part of our coun
ty were on an excursion to Watkins Glen
on Wednesday last. It is really surprising
that all of the party survived, for it is
well known that many of them "never
could bear the fatigue of a half-mile walk"
at home ; but, strange as it may seem,
,all won the race by l tramping through the
Glen.... Quite a number of the farriers'
boys from Leßoy have gone to Carbon Run
and Mclntyre to work in the coal mines.
'.... A number of cases of cholera infan
tum have recently occurred at Granville
Centre. .MILFORD BAMBY lost a child by
the disease last Friday ; it was buried on
Sunday. ...The Grange picnic at Bailey's
Corners, last Thursday, was enjoyed by
all present. After a fine social time and
a bounteous repast, the audience was
called to order by A.-T. LILLEY, after
which he read the Declaration of Purposes
of the, Patrons of Husbandry. Elder Pui.-
Sax then addressed the assembly on the '
finances of the Country ; he was followed
by E. H. Cturrom on the same subject.
PILUDIE COLE was then called for, and re
cited " Sheridan's Ride" and " The. Old
Horse that Won the F.
Woos Tart has sold his blacksmith shop to
Comas MCCRANEY, and a Mr. Sierra from
, Canton is to run it... .Deacon TRAns has
quit the mercantile businessat Leßoy....
The children attending the Baptist picnic
at Warburton's Grove, on Wednesday
last, were much pleased with the trained
bullheads in Warburton's fish pond.
When Gxonos called them, saying,
"Come, Bully ! Con* Bully !" they
would swim to him from every direetion,
and, jumping from the water, would catch
worms from his fingers as he held them

Many of the family were not present ;
nevertheless, the number was swelled to
seventy. Cvnta allowed them to amuse
themselves as beat they could, and it was
evident that they did enjoy themselves,
for they fairly.shook the house and its
