"We are informed by Professor Bur

fact that a quantity of finely pulverized
glass bad been placed in it.. It does not
seem possible that it could have been done
carelessly by the scholars, nor other chil
dren, but was no doubt done maliciously
by some one, and the directors owe it to
the patrons of the school to give the mat
terii a t oroirgh investigation, and if the
perpetr tor of the diabolical act can be
detects , see that the full punishment of
the law be meted to him."

Eorron-RarouvEn : In reply to your
criticism on the action of the -Teachers'
Association in Sheshequin, published in
your issue of last week, in appointing a
reporter for the Daily Review and_ not for
the other papers of the county, permit me
in behalf of the teachers to state why the
motion appointing reporters for the other
papers did not prevail. For many years,
and probably from the commencement of
the Association, the duty of the Secretary
has been to keep the minutes of the As
sociation and prepare a copy for publica
tion. While the Secretary might not be
able to prepare the minutes for the Mon
day's issue of the Review, it was thought
that she could prepare them for the pa
pers published the middle. of the week;
and that the authorized minutes of the
Secretary would be preferred by the vs
pore of the county to the notes of a repor
ter, providing the minutes Were fOrward
ed in time. for the first Wile, as has been
the practice heretofore.- •

The bridge at this place has been the
topic of conversation in this vicinityitir
ing the past week. The County COmmis
sioners took possession of it—so to speak,
—on Tuesday of last week, hut the toll
collector in the employ of the Company
still continued to demand tell. of all who
crossed. This led to his being waited
upon several timed during Wednesday by
an officer who summoned biM to. appear
before Esquire MALL, and atomise to the
charge of taking tell upon a public thor
oughfare. -The toll-giitherer became tired
of this business Wednesday afternoon,
and Thursday morning another man took
his place, but was arrested f by Officer
BURNS at spout ten o'clock under a
Borough Ordinance, for (dist:meting the
Public highway, and taken before Assist
ant Burgess JONES for a hearing. ' . .-Thts
attorneys for the Bridge Company imme
diately served_ out a writ of habeas corpus
and the matter was brought before his
honor, Judge DiORROW, who, after listen
ing to argument on the part of counsel,
postponed a further hearing of the case
until Monday, October oth. Mr. PLATT
being required to give bonds in the sum
of $lOO for his appearance at that time.
On Saturday the Commissioners took pos
session of tae toll house at this end of the
bridge, when Mr. LAsow u t bad them—
Ilsssoat and lltTadr—arrested for forcible
entry and detainer. Constable lilorerrr
served the warrant on the Commissioners
at the bridge, ,and was left there as their
agent to hold the works, while they proceed
ed to give bail for an appearance. 'During
their absence, Trelssurer BETTS and Toll-
Collector LASOUEIi, having gained access
to one room of the toll house, were about
entering the one whose door opens. on to
the street, when LASOEUU was collared by
Morrirr, and prevented froth entering.
Thereupon LAsoran swore out a warrant
`for the arrest of Movirryr, which was
placed in the hands of Policeman BURNS,
who forthwith proceeded to tale' MOFFITT
into custody. MOFFITT gave bail for an
appearance. Since Saturday no further
demonstrations have taken place, and we
understand that there is now a fair pros
pect of the difficulty being amicably ad
just:LA without further litigation. In the
meantime the Commissioners "hold the
fort," and the bridge is free to all.

MR. EDITOR —Ever siniie4l read your
invitation to all the townships in , Brad
ford County, to send to you peir items.of
interest for publication, have hoped
each , week to find a resp')nse from some
of our Franklinites, but as yet have seen
no report, there Tore I will respond and re
present theni, as I think Franklin oriiiht.
to be represented as well as other rural
towns. We cannot libast of our "graded
school," "cheese factory," or "meat
market," as some other towns can do and
have done, but we are having a gOod school
at West Franklin, taught by' BEM , foxy
MORSE, from Granville, and years ago it
would be called a "select school," and
maybe select here can .be put for graded,
or used instead of. So much for school;
....Some of our farmers are engaged , in
dairying on a small scale, and some of
their wives know how-to make the cheese
"at home," so what need have we
of a cheese factory ?....I think we can
say truthfully that Franklin can boast of
as good a flouring mill as any of her sia-'
ter townships in the hide of making mice
flour, owned by H. W
as for the man who cut , teeth at sixty-tio
we can show one who had his mouth fined
with new-teeth when past sixty-five years.
....We have four churches our town--
ship, and some church-going people, and
some not church-going, and some who
seem to think Sunday theivery best
ing_day of the whole seven. Our preach
ers at present are Revs. 3 , TENVEIy or the
Christian Church ; Mounts, of the M. E.
Church; PHOENIX, of the Disciples
Church, and Bd,vii.n,, of the Baptist
Church.... Our 'merchants; are B. M.
WALTERS & Co. , 110d,J; 'P. JOHNSON... •
We are about midway of Canton and To- '
Wanda, not on a line of railroad, but we
have two daily stages passing between
the two villages, a distance of twenty-si#
miles. If any of Our people chance
want what cannot be bought in Frank
lin, they can reach either village by a two
hours' drive, and that along the famed
"Towanda Creek." And by the way, thb
same creek is no inferior blessing to us
in these rainless days and weeks.... The
Franklin people are subject to the same*
ailments, and accidents of all other people
on this ”mundane sphere:" Mrs. DAVID
SMILEY has been suffering severely for
about three weeks from hay-fever; she is
DOW improving. Mrs. CALVIN VARNEY
fell off their back stoop a few days since,
injuring her side and foot badly, but is
doing as well - as can be expected. Mrs.
MARTIN CRAYTON. who liar be e n sick for
three_months past, can now ride out a lit
tle. Several children hive died from diph
theria during the just past summer, but
no new cases are reported at present:...
The crops through our town are general
ly good,' but we are sorry to say that Jack
Prost on the morning of the twenty-first
ripentd some pieces of buckwheat rather
promiturely ; he also lett his footprints
among our squash and melon vines and
tomatoes, in a not very_ plea Sing manner.
....The young friends of Ennitar Rixst
wria. made him a very pleasant surprise
on ilie evening of the 9th instant, there
by reminding him that they knew when
his birthday was, and that it lasted all
the erening t 00... :On the same - day the
brothers and sisters of Ditvio SaittLET
surprised him indeed, by gathering at his
home to celebrate his fifty-eighth birth
day, which all concerned, enjoyed much,
and presented him with a spring chair
which will add much to his future rest.

Mn. EDITQR Pall work among farmers
is being rapidly pushed. The , outlook of
`business is certainly improving in every
braneb; notirithstanding the cry to the
cootrary....We notice that our farmers
i agrec quite generally as to time of- seed
ing of all kinds of grain, except buck
wheat;, owing to the time of sowing of
that, the harvest began about August Ist
and still continues, much not being out.

After a lingering sickness, Mrs., KELLEY,'
wife of lIIRAM KELLEY, died last Thurs

KELLEY was so overcome with grief that
his mind was dethroned, and he is now in

lie was taken list Saturday., Be ,has been
an inmate of this institution on several
previous occasions.... There' is - such a
scarcity of water that the grist-mills have
ceased to perform their accustomed • duty.

The Greenbackerse not so plenty as

rations for a bonfire on the result in
Maine, has pulled the (Mora down and
has since been seen in the act'of trying to
*mike in 7 iffititufition concerning some of
the Grangers; but it is now supposed that
he took advice from the counsel present,
who interprets the paper thus "I do
,olemnly affirm, according to the best of
my.abilitq, that I was never a areen- .
backer ; and to the best of my ability, I
affirm the Greenbackers were killed at the
election fit Maine ; and whereas, the
resurrection of the dead is impossible, I
do so affirm."... Last Friday the Odd-,
Fellows 'ol 'Leßoy v Canton; Granville,
Barclay and vicinity had a basket piCnic
at the Loolcout*on.the mountain in Le-
Roy. After some formal exercises, the
baskets were opened and their contents
opened upon many a white tablecloth
placed heti and Vlore on mossy mounds
and huge rocks in the shady, grove. After ;
partaking sumptuously of the fruits Of,
the valley below, the large assemblage
was highly edified by, a lecture on Odd-
FellorshiP, delivezed by the -Rev.Di.,
TAYLOR, of Towanats, The West Burt:

sion, to the satisfact;ion of all lovers of

fine lot of boys, whO do not mean to be
outdone. The' aayaa a fine one and was
passed with no serions accident, althoUgh
the procession was' somewhat agitated
while ascending the mountain by the sud
den conclusion of one of the horses driven
by Dr. TAYLOR and D. W. SCOTT to re
verse his motion. Mrs. TAYLOR concluded
her salvation depended on instant action
toward solid ground,. but .there was an
odd fellow left in the carriage who says,
"she had no business to do it:" She says
she feels More safe on terra firma than
riding , after a balky lorse. The balky
horse was soon excbanged for a better
one, and then the 'procession proceeded
onward.

MR. EDITOR : During the past week
our little village has been visited by' the
annual meeting of the Dhemang River
Baptist Association, and we feel gratified
to be able to make so favotable a report
of its proceedings. On Wednesday morn
ing the Association was called - to order
promptly at loacr, with the attendance of
aVout 400 delegates and visitor% . and 34
ministers'; this Dumber was somewhat
ll3collen as the meeting progressed. After
daiotion, Rev. Fnaacu, of Troy, deliv
nied a most excellent, discourse, on which
we have no time to comment. The after
noon session was more of a business
In justice' to this body, we must
tiay theplanner in which the great amount
of church business of the district.was dis
patched reflects credit on the denomina
tion, and confirms us in the belief that
business and religion may harmonize... A
sermon was preached on Wednesday eve
ning, by ROV.,THOMAS ; Another Thurs
day tnorning, by Rev. PALhtlett. All
these discourses were very fOrcible and
effective. The Association adjourned at
noon Thursday, to meet one year hence
at Corning, N. Y.... Thursday evening
last Mrs. W. S. PITT, of. this place, a fa
' vorite with a large circle of friends, thrii
mistake tooka swallow of bed-bug poison.
Emetic was administered, which took ef
fectwithin, three minutes after the acci
dent, thus deferring the fearfeal result at
least. Her case seems hopeless. ; although
under charge of one of the best physicians
and her many friends, who are willing to
administer to her comferte in this terrible
trial. H.S.P.

PEN DLETOK—At - South Warren, Brad
ford. county, , Pa., - -T,hnrsday, August
14th, 1879, GeOrge Pendleton, in the
85th year of his age. - -
George Pendleton, whose death we an
nounce, was one-of the early settlers in
Warren township. He was born in- 1795,
in the State of Rhode Island; a year after
his parents moved to New London, Conn.;
there they remained'. about stiventee.u..!
years. In the month of December, 1812t
when in his eighteenth year, together
with his father and mother, five brothers
and three sisters, of whom but one broth- ^.
er and-one sister now survive, they came
and settled on the WapPagening, in the
town of Warren, this county. They-tray
-tiled all that distance—about three hun
dred miles—with an, ox team; 'much of '
the way was .a perfect wilderness, with •
here and there a log cabin. Owego was
„the nearest-place to find a store, and the I
only way to reach it was. by a horse rpath,
through the woods. Nearer than Owego,-
beef : butter and grain - Were not to be had .
for love rick money. •
About sixteen months after they settled
in. Warren, Kr. Pendleton's• father and
next younger brother .died on the same
day. Thi§ was a- - severe stroke.: When
his father was dying, his mother' said to
him : "George, ;what will we du now ?." •
To tlis George replied ; . 4 •Mother, as
long as" .I can, earn loaf of bread you
shall have the control of it, until, the chil
dren can take care of themselves:" With
industry and diligence George setto work
clearing the, land and-raising a littlegrain.
As an illustration of the hardships 'en
dured by early settlers,. it may be stated .
that' in the month of April George once •
set out with a grist for the mill, which -
was on the Wyalusiug Creek. Before
reaching home a severe bllOW'ritonn canto
on, arid being' on foot, was compelled to
stay over night When he was asked if
he had not better have -come with his ,"
boots on, he could Only reply that he bad
not got any to put on.- "The Scotch have
a proverb that "Necessity is the-mother
of invention ;" hence he made from a
stumtra mortar in which to 'pound corn
for satiiia. In the year 1816, having raised
a patch of rye,. with his own hands ho •
made a rude cradle wiih which to cut it. -
This was the first:grain cradle used in the
town of- Warren, ant may still be seen .
hanging in the- barn at Pendleton's Cor
nets. In the summer of-1866 Mr.,Pendler
tou,being then seventy years Of age;drove
the first reaper (Cayuga Chief 1 tharwag.
ever used in-the town of 'Warren. With
-it he cut down grain on the same fields on
which, fifty years previougly, he had • cut
_ it with his cradle. - .
In 1824 he married Eliza Pitcher, of the
same town:, They , raised a far4ily, of
twelve children, only. five of whom; with
their mother; survive him. With the
drcn he was rather strict. tie forbid them
all spcirt and play on the Sabbath ; on
that day they were never allowedl to go
fishing and hunting, is watthen common;
they must read their 113ible and respect
the Sabbath. L ,
' He was a man of wonderful activity
and industry.' *lf there was anithing to
'be done he was sure to be at it, and could
not rest until it was clone. When on any
occasion be promised help to any of his
neighbors, her was sure,to be ou hand, and
was eminently a man . of his-word. Ho was
sociable and fond of company, but had no
time to spend with idlers. Of thriftless,
dishonest, drinking and unreliable men,
he had a perfect abhorrence ;- hence such
men did not like him. On' one occasion,
when raising a barn
,he built for a broth
er, he was asked if liquor should be dealt
round, as was usual. -" Not' : a drop !"
said he. Whilst some went away and
would not moist, atter a little delay others
came -and the barn was raised. Cards, I
tobaeco and liquor he could - not tolerate ;
hence he lived- to a.goodly uld age—liven,
and died on the old homestead, known as
Pendleton's - Corners ; saw all his children
married and comfortably settled , in life,
and left considerable - property for his wife
and family. • ,
. Like all- hard workers, - Mr. Pendleton
was a healthy man • but, a few months
prior to his death, his health rapidly
failed. He understeod his situation per
fectly ; made‘his will intelligently, as ho
did everything. - lie disliked ostentation
in religion, which he enjoyed and tried to
live. As he drew near to the end of life
he was drawn closer to the Son of God,
whom he called his Saviour. To friends
who came - to at him he said be had "pee.
feet peace—perfect .peace 4 , " and one -of
-the last sentences he uttered was, "Life
is swept; out death is sweeter."
• Thus another of the early pioneers has
quietly pissed away: Like most of them,
he made his mark. Ile was by no means
a perfect man ; still, for integrity and up
rightness, -few-from among us have left a
fairer record thin the late George Pendle
