"The army worm has made its appear

eral stalks of green oats, taken from the,
farm of GEORGE EBERHARD, on Spauld
ing Hill, in the town of Tioga. The head
on the stalks bad been eaten off, leaving
only a bare stalk. Ho says the same
worm is eating olf the grass and corn, but
does not touch the clover. They made
their first appearance in great numbers
on Spaulding Hill, on Tuesday last, and
have already made sad work of some of
the crops there."
VDGE Monnow gave a very interest
ing lecture lass, evening before the teach

,it was replete
with practical' instruction relating to their

ed topupils and parentrand the plain
duties of parents and pupils to them. It
was delivered in a pleasing manner and
contained numerous suggestions upon the
duties of life and the benefits resulting
from propertraining of the faculties. Ile
was listened to attentively, and at the
close received a sincere vote of thanks,
manifested by a rising vote.
SAYS the Canton Sentinel of last week :
"The meeting called at the Famers' Club
rooms on Saturday last for the Purpose of

tural association, was well attended., It

grounds preparatory to holding and agri
cultpial fair this season, and annually
theivafter,to he made perpetual. A com
mittee was appointed to prepare articles
of association and to view the different
grOunds in prospect of purchase, to ire
port at the ,'next'. meeting. The expres :
sion of the meeting was unanimous to
push on the enterprise. Upitt. Motion
adjourned until Saturday August 7th in
stant, at two o'clock P. at."
ABOUT PitEsEtivs. • In preserving
peaches, pears ; plums, etc., says the Han
over Spectator, the amount of sugar to he
used depends upon the flavor of tinfruit.
As a general rule, however, threc.quar-'
tors of a pound of sugar is sufficient to a
pound orfruit. Make your syrup' first,
by adding a very little water to the sugar,
first enough to dissolve it without burn
ing ; let it boil, skimming it frequently,
tilt no morn scum rises, be.foreliutting the
fruit in. If the fruit is very hard, it is best
to steam it partially tender before putting
it into the syrup. It must be cooked soft
enough to stick a straw through it, or it
Will not keep., Always skim out carefully
into your jar, that it may not break, and
then pour on the boiling syrup. It is best
to keep preinrves air tight, as it retains
the flavor more.
Tun citizens of Wilmot and vicinity
will hold a harvest vicnic on the Tyler
Mountain, about one mile frcma &iota
Corners, on Saturday, August 14th. The
committee have procured the services - of
two able speakers, who will address the
meeting on the topics of the day. A large
platform will bo erected, and good music
will be 1u attendance, so that those wish
ing to engage in the dance, will have an
opportunity rif doing so. A splendid flag
will be raised on the round top the day
previous to the picnic. From this,point
can be seen a beautiful landscape, stretch;

Michigan, assisted by G . :imitable I. P.
LOUNSBERY, yesterday arrested a man
named FAIRCHILDS, who came here ~last

,
CHILDS is respectably coßnected here,
and has spent most of tfie•-titiv since his
advent here in - visiting relatives at or
near Towanda. Wu believe he lived there
ten or twelve years ago, before going
West. Of course there must .be a strong
suspicion of guilt in the minds of his
neighbors out there, but he asserts his
entire innocence 01 the crime. and so tun-
til further developments, be is at least
entitled to the benefit of the doubt. The
Sheriff was armeti with a requiiition , froth

prisoner properly clothed with bracelets,
took his departure on the 1:30 train.—

LECTURE
Tns.: people of Towanda have now a
chance to leer a rare course of .lecturei
by Dr. WILLF:rrs and Cal. SANFORD.
Both of these gentlemen are masters in
their art. Or. Vlrtt.t.ETTs in his "Stid
shirie, or The Secret of a llapp,y Life,"
presents the subject in a most eloquent,
entertaining and instructive manner, and
Col. SAN FORD tells his storic . s of histery
and travels with an elegance and smooth
ness that are truly delightful. I have
heard them both, and am slue that those
who go to dear them 'will be greatly
pleased and 'instructed.' The small sum
charged is to help defray the expense of
getting them here.

CANADA THISTLES
EDITOR REPORTER-Sir : .NO one.can -
travel through Bradford county with his
eyes half 'open 'and fail to see with what
alarming, 4apidity the Canada thistle is
spreading.! Already the seed is beginning
to ripen, and on every passing breeze the
thistle dawn is carried, and with it the
seed to seed new fields. Ten years ago
there was hardly a Canada thistle on my
farm, to-day there is not .a field without
them, and all from careless neighbors that
will not cut them ; it does.tio good to cut
them after they ripen, do it while in
bloom 'and :before any seeds becOme ripe
and you will do a kindness to your fellow
meu,•but some men will do nothing in
this direction until they see the arm of
the law over them. And:now. Mr. Editor,
please give us a little law in •our most
valuable paper, and oblige. I

Burlington, July 31st 1880.
A -BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.
On I P riday. August 6th, the relatives
of Wit.f.t NEU'S, of Athens township,
met at his home to celebrate the-seventy
sixth anniversary of his birth. About
eighty were in attenilance, related to him
either by - the ties of consanguinity or
macriage, and varying in ago from the
infant of a few months to nearly four
score years. Hearing of the event and
having known him from our childhood,
we called to pay our respects and request
the privilege of gathering a few notes for
publication, as we deem such gatherings
to be of general interest and worthy of
notice for the pleasure they give to the
closing years of life's journey. Mr.
PHELPS was born in Berkshire,, Mass., in
1804, and came to Smithfield in 1811 with
his parents. Ilia father, Major JADED
Pitmes, served in - the Revolutionary
struggle, and at ohe time above mentioned
settled upon the site of the present village
of Smithfield. To illustrate thesituation'
then we mention this fact : Coining in'the
fall; a daughter - aged 18 years died in De
cember, and before she could be buried a
place had to be cleared in the Wilderness;
and thus the first grave was made in What
is . now the resting place Of so many of
earth's children in the village of Smith
field. This is a digression, but may re
mind us of the early struggles of the pio
neers ; and as we ride over the Country
and view the results of their efforts and
the pleasant homes now adorning the
landscape, lead us to respect the memory
of them cud profit -by their examples of
industry antrvirtne.
' During the forenoon, the friends gath
ered and were welcomed by the aged
couple and their son, with whom they re
side. At tliehour for dinner the company
sat down to tables loaded with good
things to satisfy the appetites of all, and
we can voile], for their being good by that
inroads intitie upon roast turkey, lamb,
etc., to say nothing of puddings, - pies,
cakes, et cetera. Social intercourse of a
very pleasant character enlivened the
scene from first to last, and with excel
lent music furnished by Mr. Citsitt.Es
PlEttez upon the organ, accompanied -by
Mr. A. A.- DONALDSON upon' the violin,
'the hours sped swiftly.
After dinner Rev. C. C. Conis of
Smithfield,, made a short address stted
to the occasion, which was responded to
by Rev. Iles it C. PMELPS, of the same
place, on behalf of his uncle, whose a nests
they were. , Vocal and instrumental mu
sic followed, and then a selection of Scrip
tures Was read and prayer offeied by the
last-named gentleman , when company
joined in ienging, "Vs Shall Meet Bye
, and-Bye," and took leave of each other
And of their aged and happy relations'
hoping-to have the pleasure of many more
iheetinga With them here upon like occa
sions. -Among the company wore the Cul
laWing who' have lived the allotted time
to man, or nearly so : WEALTHY, widow
of GottnoN IVit.cox and sister - of Mr..
Pincus, aged 79 ; Rev.. Mr. Couss 78 ;
Mrs. Ansitxt.;Tnicr, 77 ; Mr. and ' Mrs.

LOOSA 'HOWLAND, 60; Mrs. HENEYDEIO

JARED PHELPS and wife were' present.
from Call'iton, and the remainder of the
company,. excepting a daughter - and her
husband, Mr. lioutsrm Costetos, of
Burlington, Were from Athens and . Smit

Mr. and Mrs. DUDLEY Puma's, Mr. and
Mrs. Ammer CAMPDELL, Mrs. BIUD and
others ; also; several interesting young
ladies- who sought to .tease 'your corre
spondent while taking notes. Quite a
number of bright-egetl, nice behaved and
happy children graced the assembly and
added tti its entertainment. 1 i. •
Our aged friends are the parents of fif

guests,, assisted by brothers, sisters and

. Mn. EDITOR :—lt has beCome a charac
teristic-. of Smithfield to have nothing
" particular " happen. - The long rain
was joyfully received by our 'people. ex
cept
those 'who had large quantities of i
grain out of the barns. I
D
• uring the last week Smithfield has I
passed t:•rough a course of popular dissi
pation in the way of pic-nies. -The first
was to be'on Tuesday, and it was to be a,
grand affair too. But oh dear, the incle
mency of . -the weather ! Ilalf rain and
half shine ; and'as a natural consequence,
less than one-half of those who had, in
tended to attend, assembled in the beau
tiful.grove. of Mr. -J. PHILLIPS, where
they were met by the two schools of that
vicinity, which Were taught by Miss
AMELIA Duittarr and Miss LaUlt.t GER-,
OULIL A few exercises had been prepar
ed by the schools, which, were enjoyed by
all present. The greater part of (the
speaking Wae done by Miss Dimmer's
scholars. Even the s cry smallest and
youngest of this school recited readily,
showing how efficient had been the work
of'the teacher.
-The most noticeable features of the en
tertainment by Nib's Genontn's scholars
was music. Choruses, - quartettes, and
solos, were rendered, finely, showing that
music, the most pleasing of the arts, can
be successfully taught in our district
schools. Some I very good Maps were
shotin, which'speaka much for these tru
ly progressive tea - oilers. One very- pleas
ing feature of this gathering was, it teas
not at all . 'On Wednesday, the-unit
ed schools r mr.l6isiNE Smmt and
Miss PANIC' NANCE ffil oaficed near their
ir
schools. ( f course all who attended en
joyed themselves:- .
'On Friday occurred the re-union of the
Ptit:trs family. Faniilies which cannot
have a grand re-union of their fathers,-
' mothers, uncles, aunts, and cousins, in
fact all the members of tlaeli family, and
all those who expeet to be, are sadly out
of the fashion.
Last, but u.it least, the pie-Wc of the
season came off on Friday, on the beauti- •
ful groan& of .SELDEN TRACY. Dr.
Wool) bad invited her friends from To
wanda, also a few from town, and judg
ing from appearawes and from the sound
of their voices, we think all enjoyed
themselves as extensively, as they were
capable of doing. We do not wish to par
ticularize, but one part ofjthe programme
cannot be omitted, viz .1 that excellent
horseback - riding. ' WhY, Mr. Editor,
sonic, of the fond mothers of Towanda
would net have recognized their da'ugh
ters had they seen them, as on those fiery
steeds • they• went dashing through .otir
usually tviet streets. People rushed
from their houses to gaze with wonder on
these fearless equestrienes. And can we
wonder that seine of our young, ladies
who are accustomed to ride ban ,hack and
unattended, were a little envious when
they saw these city ' ladies taking from
them . their glory ? • Only think of it !
Some,required only two gentlemen to lead
their vicious steed, and two on each side
to hold or catch the rider in case of an,
accident. Compared with this gathering,
- all the excursions to the lofty ,summit of
Mt. Pisgah or to the rocky caverns of
• Watkins Gleti, or the steamboat excur
sions to Ovid, sink away into oblivion as
doeti the cresent moon before that more,
•dazzling orb, the sun. We think that'
this will piss for. a iiic-pie letter, Nand
"still there's more to follow," not letters
but pie-nim OBSEIIIrgR.
