astonishing to see how many people there
are who buy valuable properties and then
neglect to record their -deeds. The law
provides that all deeds shall be recorded
within six months after their date, and if
this is not done they shall be void as
against a subsequent purchaser for value.
Some honest old farmer. will find some
day, when it is too late, that he has lost
his property by -keeping his deeds locked
up at home in order to save a small re
cord fee. This" is certainly a false no

method to protect Oder-, and why. not
avail yourselves of it and save trouble and

Tim Commissioners of Bradford Coun
ty have made a selection of a farm for
the Poor llouse, which must commend
itself to every person well informed on
the subject. 'The farm chosen is known
as the "McKean farm," in Burlington,
and comprises about two hundied acres,
with a possible purchase of sixty-five
acres more. The farm is,delightfully sit
uated, and one of thebest in the county,
being mostly rich creek fiat, bounded by
Sugar Creak, well watered and of a very
fertile soil ; and as the location is a central
one, it seems as if the Commissioners had
• done wisely in making the seleetion. The
price to be paid is $lO per acre, which,
considering thequality of the laud, loca
tion, etc., is reasonable enough.' We are
certain. the people will endorse the action
of Commissioners BRADFORD, RANSOM
and liuttsT, and that all the opposition to
the purchase will come from those who
have axes of their own to grind.i— Troy

A CORRI:SPONDENT calls oar attention,
says the Tioga Agitator, to the fact th4t
next year there will be live Sundays, fide
Mondays and tive Tuesdays in the mouth
of August ; but he falls into a.sad mis
take in his conclusion that August is the
only month that has three days five times
named. From the very nature of things,
each mouth that numbers 31 days must .
repeat thieedays of the week tire times,
and there are no less than seven such
trantlis. If our correspondent will look
at the calendar for any year he will see
that January, March, May; July, August
'October and Dectlnher are in this pre
dicament. And if ho will look at the
calendars for this year and n-xt, he will
also find that -there are but two months
in the year that never begin on the same
day of the week as any oilier month.
May and June always stand alone in this
respect, leap-year and all, and they are
the only months that do.

with smoke end fire, when they were
awakened. Nearly all Of the goods were
removed front

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
The Forksville correspondeni of the
Dlishore Review furnishes that Papdrwith
the following particulars of the!, accident
that befell Itlr. ANGLE, of this place, near
Eaglesmere, Sullivan ,county, on the 12th
inst.
"A serious accident happened, on Fri
day of last week, about four miles from
Forksville, on the road to Eaglesthere.
A Mr. ANGLE, of Towanda, was driving
a team and spring-wagon belonging to
Mr. DAYTON, and fell _ from the seat,
which was quite high, and it is supposed
he struck his head upon a stone, knock
ing him senseless. Upon recovering the
team had disappeared, the wrap% being
but a few rods from where the accident
occurred. The team bad broken loose
from it and - were not injured ; the wagon
was slightly injured. There is something
mysterious about the affair, as Mr. ANGLE
can give no account of what caused, him
to fall Man the wagon. Severe as Were
his injuries he managed to reach the
house of Mr. WALLACE LITTLE to an ex
hausted condition. Dr. RANDALL, of
Forksville, was summoned and under his
treatment the patient was much relieved
and spent the night as comfortably as his
distressed condition would allow. Satur
day evening be was brought to Forksville,
where he was attended at the Snyder
House by Dr. Wooputam of Towanda.
His condition is consideredljuite serious."
FOUND DEAD IN BED
We take .the following account of, the
death of FRED. E. BALLARD!. of Troy,
which occurred on WednesdaY night of
last week, from the Elmira Urizeite
"Our usually quiet village was thrown
into a state of excitement about 'noon
yesterday by the report 'that FRED. E.'
13ALLAnD was found dead in his bed.
Upon icquiry, it was ascertained that the
sad news was too true. His death was.
evidently caused by heart diseate, and he
passed away withoutkt struggle. He was
in his usual health day before yesterday,
and was' down Loin until about ten, and
in the evening eleven o'clock; when he
went home and sat up reading until qtfite
a late hour, as was his usual cuStom, and
retired without making any 'complaint
that he was ill. On account of his sitting
up so late he was not called until about
half-past eleven in the forenoon ; as he
failed to answer, the room was entered
and ho was found lying quietly as though
asleep, hitt on further - examination it was
found that life was extinct. Dr. TRACY
i
was lamediately called, and he expresed
his opinion that lie had•been dead tome
five pr six hours, as the body was cold
and rigid. He was the youngest son of
Mrs. 0. P. BALLARD. and was aged about
twenty-nine years. The affliction is a sad
blow to hls family, especially his 'mother,
who is a widow.. Ile was a generous,
kind-hearted young man, and a kind and
loving son. The family.have the heart
felt sympathy of the entire conimunity in;
this their sad bersavement."

of the spacious stores. They occupy the
basement as a store-rooin and work-shop,
and the store is well filled with a fine 'se-
lection of every variety of goods' pertain

that will treat customers and others well,
