No, GEopoi. The locaieditor of the

present of $1;000,000iin Government four
per Cent. bonds. The committee having
in 'charge the preparation of the presenta
tion address were unable to complete it,
and so have postponed tendering' the gift

"It is rumored that Minnequa is to be
rebuilt," and this_time • the old prevaric4 7
tor Dame 'Rumor shakes her old bead and
declares that "what is to be. Will be."
We are told that,it is still doubtful which
one of three,. parties. will undertake the
task, but probabjy it will be the Keystone
hotel companY,'WhiCh is but another name
for the Pennsylvania Central railroad
e?mpany which is naturally most directly
interested in its reconstruction. Itseems
safe to assume quit they will certainly re
build it, unless some one else does who

THE particulars of the late opt ge_per-,
petrated in Smithfield toWnshiii, are too
disgusting and revolting for publication.
We bad hoped thattbey were greatly ex
aggerated, but the accounts which 'first
reached us fall snort df the facts as dis
closed at the examination before Justice
FORREST. It is disgraceftil .that such an
exhibition' of brutality and indecency
should recur -in a„ Civilized „community,
and it is due to the vindication of the law
abiding and respectable citizens of Smith
field, that the actors in the outrage should
meet with the punishment they so richly
deserve. Our Smithfield correspondent
refers to this occurrence, but evidently
considers the horrible indecencies
were proven to have been perpetrated as
unfit for recital.
Canzstmas passed off very quietly, al
though observed very generally" by our
citizens as a holiday. Appropriate ser- .
vices were held in, the morning - at both
the Episcopal and Catholic Churches. In
the evening the M. E." Church Sunday
School held a festival,' at which i there
was some excellent singing_ by. the mem
bers of the school, some beautiful instru
mental music, an d two handsomely deco
rated Christmas trees. The Church was
filled to overflowing 'by happy schohne, -
their teachers and friends, and the even. ! .
ing proved a highly pleasant and enjoya
ble one to all present. On Christmas eve
the Sunday School scholars of the Church
of the Messiah were treated to an even
ing's enjoyment and a Christmas tree
heavily laden with good things; in (the
basement of the Ch lira). The large rooms'
were well filled with scholars; teachers
and friends of the school. Seyeral of the
scholark received handtionie presents for
punctuality in attendance during the past
year, and several of the teachers were the
recipients of ttstinionisht of esteem at the
hands of their scholar 8. •
• Tun Cbristmai Tree festiVal of Chirst
Church Sunday School, says , the Review
of Tuesday, was held last evening.. The
programme embraced a portion of the
Liturgy, appropriate. Lyme% a beautiful
exercise by the Infant Scilool, and distri:.
bution of presents from the well-laden
tree. One of the ,fiappiest events of the
evening was the preSentationl to the Rea
tor of a handsome coma:mien set, which
was a complete , surprise to the Revererd
gentleman.
THE STERLING COMEDY COMPANY.
The STERLING Comedy Company, under
the Managentent OM. C. %Mir, played at
the Opera House on Christmas afternoon
- and evening to first-rate houses. After see
ing them, it is not to be wondered at that
the party have had such a genuine success
wherever they have appeared. Miss May
ROBERTS is a leading lady who possessis
every requisite for the position that she
occupies and has nmuistaltable talent. 'ln
ooth the playa, "Led Astray " and "Sl4-
ela " she made - a 'very pleasing impression.
Iu Mr. RUTLEDGE, the trodpe have a leading
man who wins at one, by hinennine earn

attractive 'face and figure and an exceed
ingly pleasing voice: • Her popularity: is
by no means confined to this locality, for
wherever she goes she establishes herself
at' once as- a favorite. These with Mr.

'week, a case of peculiar iuterest was
tried. i The plaintiff , was , one CHRISTIAN
Konzit, who is a resident of Wells- town.
Bradford County, Pa. -The defend
ant watt: . MARcus MILLER, a prominent
citizen and resident of the Fifth Ward of
Elmira, and a brother of .l e=-Alticnpan
VALIRVTINE MILLER. The plain fade of
,the case appear to be as follows : Kotiatt,
the: plaintiff, was desirous of getting a
team be owned employed on street work
for the corporation. applied to Cap
tain Latritaw, the Alderman of the Fifth
Ward, bit the latter stated that be could :
not secure employment for the teams of
persons who were non-resrdrnts, saying
Ouse preference should be given to those
belonging here. - Afterivards an artatige
aient was made by Swim, as he claims.
by which his team was rented to - the •de
fendant MILLER, who secured for it work
on' the streets. While thus employed
and while_ being driven by a boy the
horses were driven into the river while in
a heated condition and both animals im
mediately afteiwards died. Hence Ko-
BED, the real owner, stied foi theit2 - value.
Ile recovered ins Justice's court, and an
appeal was taken to the county court.
The jury returned a' verdict in favor of
theislaintiff, (Konen) for f 177.30 as the
value of the team.

SMITHFIELD
TUE 'l5 CALLED SILITIMELD OUTRAGE
It is probable that nothing has ever oc
curred in this county, that has so. thor
oughly aroused the public in 'general, as
did the disgraceful affair, .the account of
which was first published in the Elmira
Telegram.. According to the. evidence as
brought out by the trial, the facts were
not in the least exaggerated. The state
ment in the teltram is wrong, howevei,
in two particulars : First, the outraged
partiei l l were not married ; and second, it
togs nett in B:ailltyleld at all, and we should,
not irve, the credit of it., The perpetra
tors of the nefarioris, deed, with a single
exception, were not` really residents of
Smithfield. Tut° reside in Springfield,
two *ere from Troy, having been in our
town but a short time, one from Towin
da, and the others cannot:be properly 10.
-rated anywhere that we. know of—they
certainly do not belong here. Neither do
the unfortunates five in Smithfield, but in
the adjoining township of Springfield.
liappen where it may, it was a disgrace
-ti]a civi.ized community, and the perpe:
tratora should be punished to. the. extent
of the la*. A. fair trial was ;given them
last I Wednesday , and Thu: tklay, before
Esquire tORREST; who committed four
of the number and held the:others nude:
five hundre-dollars,bolicls to appear/ at
_the Feiuiiary Court.- We understand that
- two of ; the four committed have been
tbailed; out at one thousand dollars each,
one other (the negro) for five hundred,
and the fouirth is awaiting trial in the coun
ty jail. Our greitest anxiety is, that,
through some underhanded way the -guil
ty parties may manage to evade the.pen
alties of the law. Every honest law-abid
ing citizen should use his influence. to
have law enforced in this case at least.

We aufrouueed last 'week the death of
Mrs. 3fuzsat Fox. seems fitting that
a more extended.notice should be made
of oue so long and so well known in our
•
community.
MARGARET GARRETT EVAN/A was the
fifth child of Jouß EVANS.; a prominent
lawyer of Wilkes-Barre, and was. born in
that.place March 14, 1813. In early child.
hood she removed to Cooper's Plains, N.

ter. There she was .married' to MILLER
Fox, January 4, 1847, and after a brief resi
dence in Vermont, moved to Towanda,
Where • the remainder .of her life was
spent. .
The circumstances of her early life had.
great influence in determining her char=
actor. Left motherless in her fourth
year, and bereaved seven years afterward
of her father,- she was thrown more than

was naturally dear and vigorous ; her in
