SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE LADIES BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION OF TOWANDA. Another year of our society's work is done, aid we are about to assume the re sponsibilities, duties and labors of 1880. In looking over the past, we have every reason for thankfulness and gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His guiding hand, His watchful and preserving care. Since Our last annual meeting but one of our number has been taken from our circle. On Sabbath evening, the 9th of February, 1879, Mrs. WY. WATKINS fell asleep in Jesus. She was our eldeist and one of the most interested and honored members. It was at her hiSrfie that this Asssocisition was formed ; and for four years we were furnished with a room for our work through . her kindness. Her life, which was devoted to acts of self denial, benevolence and Icrie, haa closed. but her prayers, words and deeds will not be forgotten. She ever sought to do her Master's work, and was enabled through divine grace to accomplish much which eternity alone can disslose. Very fitting lydo the words of sacred writ apply in her case : "Blessed -are ,the dead which die in the Lord ; from henceforth ; yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors ; and their w:•rks do follow them." Among those to lehom we have minister ed were two who were prostrated with long and painful illness. .For months their sufferings were alleviated by careful at tention in providing medicine , and little delicacies, which served very much , to soothe and comfort them in their loneli ness and poverty. Their tearful grati tude amply , repaid all' that was done ; and with a blessed assurance that a home was prepaied for them above, they hope fully passed away. In many homes timely relief has been given, and heavy burdens lifted from troubled, aching hearts. Through the liberality of our citizens, our work goes on, and_ while we tender them our sincere thanks, we still ask for their continued co-operation. Especially do we feel under obligation to Mr. A. WICKRAM, who so kindly furn ishes us with a loom for our weekly meet ings and the accomplishment of our work. Mr. WICKHAM will please accept the thanks of the Association, and the assurance that his generosity is fay ap preciated. The following report will convince any one that the' past has not been an idle year, and though there has been an ap parent lack of interest on the part of some to sustain the weekly meetings, and encourage by their . presence, and aid those who are not willing that this organ ization shall fail, yet with hopeful trust, and looking to a Higher 'Power for suc cess, we will persevere : Infants« -Flannel skirts 3, slips 4, double gown, wrappers 2, new.

Fitted and beautified with evergreen; plc ',tures, hanging baskets, etc., that it bore a far more striking ' resemblance to the driveller-room of some palatial tesidenire than a public' Hall. The floor was car petted with white canna, which gave beck no sound as the merry dawns ed over its suknei 'Keeping thne to strains of. most 'enchanting musk: Lo cated in the north-east corner of the large r room• was a covered well, from which very emutepus and obliging gentleman of African parintage, drew cooling draughts of excellent lemouadei or. sparkling Water, for all who were Wiled. The four-large chandeliers were haidainuedy decoratexl with evergreens, and their lighting capa- city had been doubled by the addition of extra jets. Pendant from the chandeliers hung balls of flowers and osgcs with Ca may birds. The stage, which was new pied by Abe orchestra, was Ake, very handsomely decorated with evergreens and small trees, so arranged as to give it the appearance of a woodlandbower. The windows of the Hall were draped with rich N'ottinglianisurtalOs, while around the Hall next the walls, were arranged . chairs:for' the spectators and dancers. The music was furnished by White 4 Bo man's Orchestra, of Binghamton, N. Y., and was the finest ever tarnished here on a like occasion... The supper was served In the green room, which wile carpeted, and the walls hung with evergreens, ar ranged in very pretty designs. The ta bles were loaded with an endless varie ty "good things" to appease the ap petites of all those who were ahungered, and many there were, for at e'-even o'clock the first body of guests sat down to test the culinary accomplishments of those who had prepared the tempting sal ads, the "nicely done" meats, the flakey cakes, with their rich icings, and the deli cious desserts, and it was almost morning Then the last guest had been attended to by the courteous and 'obliging waiters who had charge of the tables. And still, when all had partaken, there yet remain ed enough of the "good things" to have supplied "a thousand men." It was at about eight o'clock that the carriages bearing the guests began to ar k rive at the entrance to the Hall, and from that time until nearly eleven, they con tinued to - bring those who were so fortu nate as to be participants in the evening's pleasure. The Opening Overture by' the Orchestra was given it Dine o'clock, and halt an hour later, Chief Engineer C. B. Porter and Miss Goodrich - led in the Grand March, followed by fifty-one cou ples. From that time until four o'clock in the 'morning, quadrille, polka and waltz filled the measure of enjoyment, when the happy throng began to sepa rate to go to their homes, all uniting in the verdict that the night had been one of unalloyed pleasure, and tha( Lints's Ninth Annual Reception had mirpsuised anything of the kind heretofore rgiven , in our village.

PoutEn, was presented by the members of Llnta No. 3, on Saturday evening last, with a gold badge, ass slight token of their apprecia tion of his laborsin behalf of the Coin pany for many - years past. Tae presen tation'took place in the Ward House par lor, the presentation speech being made by JAMES IL CODDENIG, Esq. Mr. POR TER, who was entirely unaware that any thing of the !clod was in store for him, - when requested to meet a few friends in the parlors, was too much affectectat the conclusion of 141 r. CODDING'S wren-timed remarks, to make a speech m reply, and after returning his heart-felt thanks, to the. Company , - for this token of their esteem and confidence, asked Hon. W. T. DAVIES to speak for him, which the Senator proceeded-to-do in language both appropriate and timely. The badge is of solid gold, and bears on one side the in scription "CLARK B. PORTER, Chief Engineer, 1880." On the reverie side : "CLARK B. PORTER, Tannery 29, 1880. From his friends.": MR. HILLIS' READING AT WYALUSING. It is seldom that an entertainment has proved more pleasing and profitable thin the reading by E. L. Hiram, Esq., at Wyalusing, Wednesday evening last. The selections embraced a large variety of styles, subjects and authors, and none of them suffered by the rendering of the accomplished artist. Mr. Muds' keen perception enables him at once to grasp the idea and enter into the spirit of his author to an unequal degree, and contrib.. utes)argely to give a naturalness to his style, and variety to his intonations of Which his audience never tires. At Wya lusing, the ball was packed full, yet ex cept when answering some peculiarly happy hit with rounds of applause, the crowd were kept in almost breathless silence to the end.r Mr. HILLIS possesses a voice of rare c4ppass and power, rich, melodious and - musical, and he holds-it in perfect control. To this is added a mind invigorated - by a broad and liberal culture, and a pleasing personal presence, which combined, give him great power as an elocutionist. To say that the expectations of the audience were met., is only saying half the truth—they were delighted and enthusiastic. The . Literary Society, under whose auspices Mr. litt.Lts came, receives the thanks of the community for this ex ceptionably fine entertainment, and all unite in wishing Mr. HILLIS great success in his vocation. • X.

ATHENS' INDUSTRIES-No. VIII . ; • - We come now to notice one of the most important, interests of out county, and though we do not have the extensive fa cilities for manufacturing flour that Ro. cheater or Minneapolis possess, we have excellent mills for it small town, chief of which are those of • Fulmars 3 CIIRTM, situated upon the banks of Capita creek, Sand the site of-the fitat grist mill built in this valley .we-believe. In 1788, the tate was occupied, and-at that time: Parisi% BRYANT transferred to Mr. SUEPARD his interest in the mill, it being the only ene within fifty . miles, see ("Early Times," page seventy-seven). The present struc-- two was erected, about eighteen years ago, and . purchased by the present pro-, printers in June, 1809. Mince coining into possession, they have added new imachin ery, replacing the old, and also putting in the :Implicated and e - Xpeassive machin ery for making new process flour. Not caring to inspect'. too minutely the • ma chinery used,.we will attempt no descrip tion of it, but notice that the wheat. is first put through several cleaners, tine of which brushes the miter covering off • be fore it is "high ground," that is coarsely. After this it is'again ',passed thrmigh ma chinery and re-ground, and again •sent aloft, where in due time it. emerges from the bolts in three grades, the "snow flake" being the name of the best. The object of the new method being to pro-. duce whiter grades containing more. of , the glutinous portions of-the grain,. and avoid wasting flour. By' this process a very good article of flour can _be made from ordinary middlings or shorts. No custom work is done by this process, for the mad taking a grist 'of poor grain would get the flour of his predecessor and his successor mould get his, • thus doing injustice, because, perhaps, upward Of twenty bushels of grain would be grOund before any flour appeared. A millers' journal estimates the distance traveled by grain in some large mills at fopr or five miles before it is ready for shipment as flour; Mr. P. estimates it at one-ball mile in his mills. Its is emptied into spouts from tho wagonsi and is then car ried by elevators to the desired point, ei-- ther for storing or immediate grinding, and the customer, if ho wishes, receives in exchange flour, etc., according to the grade of his grain. We noticed a circu- . lar disk with numbers around the edge, and corresponding numbers attached to spouts around the first floor in conveni ent places, and upon inquiry learned that the miller could stand _ by the table, and by turning a hind so that 'it would point to a certain number, cause grain to ap , pear in the spout bearing the same num ber—veri covenient and simple arrange ment, allowing him to control twenty three large bins easily. This mill has a capacity of one thousand bushels.per day, containing five runs of stones. They av erage &1,000 bushels per year—running uplone yearqo 115,000 bushels—average custom work' about 30,000 bushels. They buy 25,000 or 30,000 bushels of grain per year at home, and about the same num ber from the West and Central, N. Y., 334;354 pounds of buckwheat flour, and 2;171,067 pounds of feed -were sold by them last year, and they are constantly filling orders for flour shipping it along the Erie, Lehigh Valley, and other rail roads, sending East as far. as Deposit, south to Virginia, and 'West to Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and even Illinois. Barrels are used for Sonthern markets, and bags and sacks for Northern. P. & - C.. have a monogram • stamped brand which they use to paste on their best grades, buying six-or eight thousand•pa per sacks at one time. With a storage capacity of ten car-loids of flour or grain, and convenient ways of handling it, these mills give employment to five men, . and cause a large amount of money to cirpa-. late in this vicinity. Connected - with their business is a plaster or gypsum mill, at which about three (hundred tons are ground annually, and sold to farmers In the vicinity. To Mr. PHILLIPS we are indebted for valuable information, , even if we -have failed to re-produce it; and -people calling there will be repaid: for their visit in seeing improved methods— tog wear your dusters. 111 r. E. M. TII9NIP- Sox is head miller, IRA C. BARRY Seeolld, and liexuv DEMO third. About ono mile below the Chemung bridge,on the west side of the river,' - are the milli of S. J. MOLLEY & CO They 'consist of a grist mill, carding' machine; cider mill, shingle machine, and planer and matcher. The present. grist mill was erected by J. GittFris and Mon- LEY a little more than twenty years ago, and the other additions' were made about twelve years since. Mr. 'ISAAC MORLEY erected the first grist mill on this site upwards of sixty years ago, and people then came long dis tances from .beloW and west of it, to get work done. The present mill has a capa city of four hundred bushels per diem, and is driven by.water as is the one 'pre viously described. Their work is princi pally custom, and for the grain _they pur chase they have a home market for its products. They buy from fifteen to twen ty thousand bushelg, and their custom work amounts to about 30,000 bushels per year. People come from Tioga Co., and from about Elmira, to get carding done, also from Rome, Windham, etc., They manufacture on. an average 400,- 000 shingles per year, , and do quite a large business in planing, matching and making siding; also work up apples from a large extent of country.' They give em ployment t four men, besides having to employ extralietp at times. M. C. E. BARTON has charge of the carding, etc. We have tried in these sketches to give ah idea, Of the noOst important industries of our township; unless it be the agricul tural, and close them with the intention of giving at some time, a review of the progress-of the villages, etc., including South Waverly; it having no establish ments of the class noted heretofore.

Mr. Albert Hillis, of Ballibay, and Mica lElla J., daughter of Dairid Nesbit, of Fairview. OBITUARY. The early death of Mrs: S. C. GAlT:ant, has brought peculiar sorrow to a large circle of friends and acquaintances—.another illustration of the oft repeated saying that "Death loves a et thing mark." From a child, she was the light and Joy of the household, where her winning ways and affection• Me ,iistsueltion bound her to the hearts of her pa rents, and drew' to her a multitude of friends who were charmed by her mannerst• and held by the attraction of her loving heart In a life-long devo tion. She Was one of the few who had the secret of making friends and never losing them. With a mind abovet he average, she had strengthened and .developedl'ils powers by the dleciplitte of study, and adorned It with the accomplishments of. the schools. Added to a native grace and strength of character were a cultivated taste and relined sensi bilities, which made her the life of the socialeirme and the admiration of her friends.. To the excel, knees of mind and heart were added the beauty of a noble Christian character. k in her yOuth she made profession of her faith, connecting herself with the Fresbyterian Chutch, and ever after In; her life adorned her profession by a Wan elesa life and conversation. Nearly live years ago she was : nutted in marriage with S. C GA:rt.men. Esq., then of Wyalusing. With them the marriage vow : was no niere.ceremony. They gave 'the selves to; ns each other In heart as well: as in intense and for tune. In this heir relatioti she brought al&the rich gifts of heart and soul and laid them on thie donee," tie altar; and who a daughter was borne to them,; she gave herself in a new consecration to (he &tiles of wife and mother, as she had to those of'danghter and slater, with love, patience and Christian grace, making her, home to herself, her husband and friends a place of continual jdy and blessing. The greater part of her married life was spent .in El mira, N. Y., wheredter husband was engaged In business, While on a visit to her fathers illt. J. H. Cen.ar., Gillette, Pe. ), she was seized with the fatal sickness which all the care of friends and all the sklll'of physicians could not arrest. 'Although suffering most excruciating pain, she declared that the peace of mind she enjoyed was more than com pensation for all the suffering she endured. Her end was peace. As Ills long, tearful procession of friends and.Weighbors was passing front the house' at her • funerid, a gentleman long resident there remarked: " This has been a sad day for this plaie ; they are carrying away ono,of Its. best beloved children." " So fades a summer cloud away, So sinks the gale when storms are o'er; So*gefitly shuts the eye of . day, $o dies a wave alotig the shore." . , . . DIED.
