Perhaps, as "evil communi . .iations" are Said to "cor rupt good manners,'' the i fact that Wa: verly is but. twenty miles from our min= ty seat, is the best explanatiou that could be Offered.

Iler dead body was found near the hard coal pockets in that village, lying, on the track, and had probably been rip Over by some empty coal cars thitt had passed that way a short time before. the lived close to the place -where her body was found, and it was evident that she bad been struck by the train while in the actof picking .up pieces of coal to be used in . her stove. She was removed to her home, and the coroner held an imiest. SAYS the Burlington correspondent of the Elmira Adrertiser of Monday last : " The moulding machine of 11. 0. Don- MAN, the contractor for making the brick for the poor house buildings has arrived, and Mr. Donates will proceed at once-to making .brick. Said machine i ls a late in vention, and -is said to have the .capacity of moulding twenty-five thousand bricks per day. It is hoped after the long delay in getting the machine that Mr. DointAtt will'be able to fill his contract with the County Commissioners successfully. Mr. Superintendent BRINK will be ready to use the brick as soon as made. Tint Tunkbannock Republican is in favor of the Towanda Depot being located at the east end of the River Bridge road way, and the editor. expresses himself thereon thusly : • " By all means let the natter be agi tated. There is a striking inconsistency in carrying passengers two miles above town, to make them ride back in a hack. If the public convenience is to be conSidl ered the trains should stop at the bridge, more particularly now that the toll is abolished. The hackman, of course, would not approve of it. The increase in custom would. we believe, :much, more than pay the company for the trouble and expense. Send your petition down this way, gentlemen." IT Ts always.the beit policy to patron ize home industry, even if you have to pay rather .more for your purchases at home than abroaff; but where you can buy your gixsis at home and get them cheaper and, better than elewhere, it is doubly to ope's interest to do so. This is true in Bookbinding as in everything else. The REPORTEIt Bookbindery is one of the oldest establishments in this p,art of the country, and the prices charged are as low as good work can be done for. Peo ple who have books to bind should, bear this fact in mind and bring their .work here, in preference to giving it to'irre spunsible traveling agents who offer to do work at any price to secure it, and make up the low price in the _quality of the work done. . THE Concert for the benefit of the Franklin Fire Company, given at Marc= Hall on Wednesday evening last, was an excellent one, but the attendance was not as large as it should have been. We un derstand the receipts and expenses were about equal. Those who took part in the' entertainment fully sustained the a3puta-. tion that bad preceded them, as being masietans and vocalists of high acquire ments. Whilst the singing of Mrs. (Ita sca and the violin solos by Prof. &sera- EIOFF were the leading features in the entire programme, the songs by the Arlon Quartette and the piano solos of Miss Pamirs. were delightful, and elicited hearty encores. It is the wish of all pres ent that the entertainment may be repeat ed at art early date. Now that the season has arrived when a great deal of Sunday afternoon prome nading will be indulged in, a word of cau tion, given in a spirit of kindness, may not be amiss. Riverside Cemetery is too solemn ' a place to be used as a common resort for spooay lovers, boisterous chil dren or vulgar young men. All who enter the portals of that silent "city of the dead," . sheuld remember that they, are treading upon hallowed soil—ground that has ott and repeatedly been bathed with the tears of bereaved ones weeping over departed friends and loved relatives. Let them remember, too, that every thought less act perpetrated or 'harsh word spoken within its sacred confines, is a disrespect shown to the dead and a flagrant insult to the living. ANDREWS' 13Amin FQR JERE is a superb nninber, rich in illustration, sparkling in literary matter and 1 erfect as a fashion journal. All ladies are interested in the styles. While the costumes illustrated in ANDREWS' 13AzAit are in the best French and American modes,, the aim of the pub lisher seems to avoid extremes, and to give only those styles which are sensible, if we may use the term, so that those who follow the fashions as expounded in his great journal will be well, yet not fussily, dressed. The children will be "just car ried away" with the story of "The Hap py Family." In short, all those popular and pleasing things which go to make up a good family paper are well presented in ANDREWS' BAZAR. Ladies should send _loe. for a sample copy to W. It. ANDREws, Publisher. Tribune Building, New York. IT seems to be pretty well settled that we are to have a depot at the eastern end of the roadway leading to the wagon bridge. Hon. Josiwn PowELL, N. N. BETTS,_ Col. J. F. MEANS, J. G. PArror, E. C..GRIDLEY, E. T. Fox and GEDIWE STEVENS, who were appointed by our cit izens to present the petition to Superin tendent .PaeriEn,• asking for a depot there, were in consultation with Mr. PACKER and Engineer STEADMAN, oil Monday, and afterward visited the pro- . posed site of the building„ and it is said the ground was "staked out" whereon the building is to be erected. That the building of a depot at that point will be a great convenience to the traveling public, and materially • increase the business of our village, there is no room for doubt, and that it will inure to the benefit of the Railroad Company, is beyond a ques tion. ME 'Troy Gazette gives the following particulars of the'burning of the, dwelling house of Mrs. WELLIAns near that place on the llth inst., a brief menticto of which appeared in the Itzrou'rEit last week : "While the faniily Of Mrs. Samuel Williams, who lives oni the Ambrose Murray place, in Troy township, were :it , dinner oti Thursday last, they were startled to find their kitchen all .on fire, and _fanned by a vigorous breeze the house was soon wrapped in flames. From the house the flames spread to the barn. which was soon a mass of fire s :mil flying -cinders. The dry state of the ground and of the .woods communicated the flames to the woods,- and the 'neighbors had to con i c an I fight the vigorously to prevent its spreading. The house and barn, which were not insured, were totally consumed, and the fire extended' to the edge of Van Horn's, Glen, and it required some vigerous fighting to keep the•fire from crossing the Glen and reach ing the buildings-on the other side." BuY YOUR FURNITURE. AT HOME.— This to*n never possessed letter advan tages jti the furniture line than at pres ent. We have live men in the business, whose rooms are, stocked with the best and latest improved goods in the market. They have in stock or can promptly fur nish to order, anything in their line, from the smallest arti - tle to the handsomest parlor or bed room suit, at priceli fully as low as those of the largest houses in the cities. It lea mistaken idea that some people :have, that they can buy from wholes/le ity houses at great discount below the prices paid to our dealers at home.. There is no business which pro tects its dealers more than furniture houses, and it has been the universal ex perience of parties in this town who bought their furniture in the city, and .tholight they had something 'better and different from that known to our dealers, that these dealers either had on hand or in catalogue, which they invariably could furnish for less than they paid elsewhere. Buy your goods'athotne, save money and at the same time give your neighbor a chance to live. THE editor of the Len aysville ildrertiser, who was a juryman at the first week of May Term, seems to have been very favor ably impressed with- the way business is disposed of in our county courts. Ilis last week's paper con•ained the following : " Last week we answered to the call of Ti ticket as Jnior at ToWanda for a few I days. The weather was dry and warm, andk the notty.cases to be ventilated, to gether with the confinement, pushed us nearly to the wall. Being a stranger to the Judge arid nearly all the members of the bar, as well as those in attendance, gave us ample time to deliberate outside of social greeting. All the eases which camel before the Judge were ably handled by the attorneys—who, by the way, are not behind in legal talent and ability members of the bar in other places of larger size. The .Judge; P. D. Monaow, ' tilled his position admirably. • No time I was allowed -to run to waste, and every. witness -was promptly called and dis patched from the witness stand, and the lawyers were pushed through in their re spective cases during each Fesaiont All questions wore readily answered and ex plained by the Judge.- It would Scent as though he might get a - little mixed at times, as the various legal business' was rushed upon him by the different lawyerit, but sornehow.he was always ready for the .emergence- His chat ge to the jury was also plain and comprehensive, and at the same time was delivered in a pleasant and decided manner. Few Judges of our quaintauc° are so well qualified for the bench as the one of which we speak. Reader ' it is nothing to be a juror at court, hut to he a, gootfone'requires a perFou of good mind, onprejudiced, and willing. to decide a case in accordance -with the evidence .honestly given. With a jury of twelve men, there is more or less difference of °Pinion. which at times is hard tozi reconcile l and amicably adjust. On the whole, the cages were well dis posed of." THE CONTEST IN DECLAMATION. The Prize Declamation Contest, by Students of .the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute, came off at Mercur Hall on Friday evening last, and the following I named young gentlemen took part there-. in : ALBERT F..

MONTANYE. The death of Josm'n D. Moretaritrg , occurred Tuesday morning aboht ono olclock. He bad been failing for some timb, but last week his weakness so in- • creased that 'he was obliged: to betake himself to his bed, where, tenderly watch- ' ed and -cared for, ho sank .swiftly and gently into the arms of death. With a Christian's good hope, be bore his suffer ings patiently, and met death calmly. Ills end was peace. Yore born,' than the dew is shed, Or cloud la floated overhead, ' "Ile giveth his beloved sleep: , Mr., MONTANYE was born in. Union, Broome county, N. Y., November 12th, - 1802, and consequently was nearly 78 years old. He came of French stock, as the ;name shows, though the branch of the family to which ho ?elonged removed from Holland to New lork, in the person (probably) of one JOHANNIDIE , DA MON TAONF., somewhere between 4636 and 1638. This family occupied honorable positions in Church and State during tbb Dutch and early colonial periods of Nei , York. Mr. MONTANYE came to Towanda in 1826, tp clerk in the establishment of the late GORDEN HEWITT; and from that time untilrlB7B he was without cessation engaged in the mercantile business. A few years lifter settling in Towandh, be became 'associated with the late N. N. BETTS, and the firm of BETTS iS,7 MON TANVE c l arried on, for years a large and successful trade. :After the dissolution of .this partnership, Mr. MONTANYE aSsOdi-: ated with hire -"lds brother, ELIJAH D. MONTANYE ; 'and after the death of t 4 latter, he carried on'the -business in • con nection with his youngest son, L. DI MONr.kNYS, until his retirement in the spring of I'B7B. It is only tr"e find just to say that, during this half century of active business . life, Mr. MoNTaNvE maintained a,spotless name. Throughout - the entire county. the uttnn,t contidynce.was reposed in his word and character. The troubles inci dent to severe industrial prostration af fected him very hemiily, but through no fault of his . own. And he bore them hon- orably, as his past life led every Jobe to expect. No breath of suspicion rests upon his motives or his conduct. Instead, the warm sympathies of the whole community were with him in his rOtirement and; old age, and their ropect followed him to the grave, Mr. MONTANYE was a man of decide ability,'not only in that particular line I,o' whicu he dedicated his life, but in other directionii of mental ability. He had inborn literary: taste, and beguiled' his leisure with the Solace of books. Ile de 7 quire& extensive information, and • was gifted with. rare conversational powers. Übe strong taste for reading remained tb the 'last ; . and when his eyes became dim• and his natural strength abated, so that he could read no longer, be felt with BA CON that the sweetest canticle is "inc,N ditnittis." It w-uld,'perhaps, be the most fitting epitaph for his tomb : " Here lies a Chris tian gentleman l" For nearly - forty years Mr. MoNTANvE was a nninber of the Presbyterian Church of Tawanda ; and before the time of his union with the church, he earnestly supported and ac tively assisted her in all her interests and trials. He was one of the few remaining illastiatit us of the old type of gentlerneo: urbane and dignified in his deportment punctilious in his intercourse with o' hers; with a voice ana mariner as gentle as a woman's. The increasing weight-of in firmity banished hien for the last two years almost wholly 'from our streets, ! , o that we grown accustomed to miss his erect bearing and,conrteons salutation; but long years must pass before those who knew him can fail to remember the form and face of the ievered old man.. Gee by one Towanda is losing those hoary heads, which-in the ways of right eousness have so honored her. ..Mr. MoN:. TANYE is almost the' last of the early citi zens of the town. His long-time associates and friends—lSAAC MYER, N. BErrs, \VsL WATKINS and EDWARD OVEMTON— have preceded him by a few years to the fulness of joys at God's right hand. It will be a great,thing, for Towanda if the future shall ripen successive generations of such noble. old men as the last decade has borne beyond our mortal sight. Local Correspondence. WYALUSING.

Wellsboro, crier of the Tioga county courts, was ter ribly- and dangerously gored by a bull on Thursday afternoon last. Mr. W. was attending to his.stock, and he went into the stable to lead his bull out to water. While unhitching the animal and before he • had secured the ring in tlie - bull's nose, the animal hooked him in the fleshy part. of the thigh, inflicting a terrible wound. The beast then caught Mr..Win gate under the arm and tossed him into the manger, which fortunate circumstance no doubt saved the man's life, for the bull could not reach him there. Mr. Win gate succeeded in getting out' of the stable and.part way to the house, when his fam ily came to his- assistance. Dr. W.' W. Webb came to his assistance, and. the wounded man is in a fair way. to recover,• although it will probably take some little time for so "large and ugly a wound to heal. The bull's horn penetrated the flesh almost to the spine. —The Laporte correspondent of the Onshore Ririe:ll, writing under date of May Mb: says : " Some reckless and in human Vandal set fire in the woods east of Laporte ann in the neighborhood of the Thoittedale tannery. • The strong winds prevailing during the week fanned these little flames into billows of :dame. , The eastern horizon has been a pillar of smoke by day and A pillar of fire by night.

One Man moved into his houSe in the morning, and had hardly got his goods in the house when the tire. fiend came stalking through the woods, and -at. night the man had neither house nor_ goods. Any one who is so lost to humanity that he will fire the woodsAt this season of the year, deserves old-time ,punishment for felonies." —A correspondent of the .Elmira Ga zette writing from Factoryville, gives the following account of the forest tires rag ing- in that vicinity : "On the west side of Shepard creek there are several miles of continuous forest, which extends to West Hill, overlooking, Wavetly on the north. Everything is very dry, and the woods are like a tinder box. , There has been a-heavy gale from the north since Wediessday morning, which blew a fire from the burning log and stump heaps into the woods in spite of all precaution, and the woods have been burning foriniles and are still afire, taking everythiug in its path. It extends from back: of A. B. Reniffs, about -eight miles Mirth orlieres and all the way di,wn, and now I can se it advancing on West Hill.
