FIRE AT TROY.
- Onr Troy correspondent sends us the
Allowing account of the ere which occur
sod in that place on Monday morssinalast :
A disastrous fire occurred here last
:Monday morning causing the destruction
of the laTge, tannery owned by BrainaM
Bowen. The flre was discovered in the
engine room at about half past throe in
the morning, and soon spread 'to the
Whole building which was. enveloped in
flames and seemed to bid defiance to all
efforts to subdue it. The finishingri:ooms
' were saturated With oil and the flames
shot up ,to a great height -while dense
volumes of black smoke gave a lurid and
dismal glare..
Cinders sind burning shingles w4re
mattered far and near and many bouhes
were in imminem danger of destruction.
It soon became certain that a tenant boom
belonging to Mr. McGounnntot must burn
and the household goods' of two-families
whonceupied it soon found their way to
safe quarters and the house was nearly
consumed. Mr. McGorounest's dwelling
was damaged to the amount of OOP which
is covered by insurance. Tbe l . tenant
house valued at S3OQ was uninsured. The
tannery was• insured for perhaps two
thirds of its value and the large stock of
hides and leather is mostly covered by
insurance. ti
It is to be hoped that Mr, Bowm will
rebuild at once for be has long maintain
ed a business enterprise of great value to
this community and has given employ.
meat to a large number of men.
A y.retty general row ensued y s eiterday
afternoon resulting in some bruises but
no damage. The motor power of the me
lee was tire water as usual. t ***
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Tat Agricultural Society met at the
Grand Jury Room on February 23d, 1881,
and called to order by the,Prpaident j. E.
Piolett.
The first subject was a.general diipuss
ion in regard to agrioultnial interests . .
Mr. Pickering, of OrWell, suggested
the making of some effort to secure life
members.
On the subject - cif horses it Was general
ly" conceded that the breeding of fad
hones is detrimental to the best interests .
of - farmers. • , •
Mr. Pickering thought a horse that can
go in less than three minutes is not worth
much for a draught team.
. President Piolett said that-his-son bad
taken Anita a fancy to fast horses and had
raiseifone, but had lately come to the con
clusion that such animals were not profit
able.
Mr. Bates also advocated the raising of
heavy horses suited for faim work.
The late Secretary reported be bad a
quantity of blanks for life membership ,
subscriptions.
A general discussion on the subject of
procuring life members ensued, and it
was understood that the board- of man- .
agars, revise . (if necessary) the several
oomm:ttes soliciting subscriptions.
Mr. Pickering very pleasantly gave an
account of his last years experience with
wheat, corn and potatoes, showing favor
able results in rolling, fordrought,arvi in
drokiing plater in the bill for corn.

Twenty-flve years ago the first Mas
querade Ball took plaeo in Towanda. It
was given in the Ward House,, and was
the topic of conV4rsation l hereabouts for
weeks previous, ainifor weeks subsequent
to its occurring,' Nearly all of our lead
ing eitiaens of that day took part in the
affair. The costumes worm on that Ocea-,
sign were nearly altof home manufacture,
and the conic . chameter; assumed far
outnumbered all others. - We shall pot at-
tempt now to speak of an who took char
actors. Our genial townstnan, lion. J.
Parrost, had not then been a member'o
a Coastittltional (konvention; but his act
ing and dress in the character of F alstaff,
won him the honor of having made the
" hit " of the evening. The Music was
furnished by Keeler's Orchestra-under
the leadership -of the present affable
Councilman from the Second-Ward—and

nate and never lacked for partners. But
'tis not of . the " first misquemde " .we
latish to write, but of the last. In passing
let us r temarki that a quarter of a century•
ago, Towandi had . a wide reputation as a
town *assessing tbe largest number of
beautiful women And graceful dancers, of
soy village of its size in the country.
The town has. quadrupled in population
in that time. Its reputation for beauty
of its women today is the same is in the
."long agu" Its graceful dancers—ah,
well, we are growing old,-and the fash
ions in dancing change as do fashions in
other . things
Totianda's last masquerade took place
on Wednesday evening last, at Mercur
Ituder the directorship of Professor
C. 11. Danielle, who is conducting a large
dancing class-he're. It wit; a. eplendid
success in, every • particular. 'The cos
tumes worn by the merry , maskers were'
the finest ever seen on a like occasion in
this place, or perhaps anywhere in this
section of corintry,. This services of cos
tumers from abroad were called into re
quisition to array the fair lassies and
-brave laddies of our village, in fitting ap-
IpsetTisliiiewith to represent Kings and
Qneens, Princes and Pages, Cavaliers and
Brigands, Mythological Gods and Fixed
and Peripatetic Planets and Stars, Sailors
and Soldiers, eta., etc., until the most in
timate friends - of the yohng people were .
unable to certainly fit the identity of any
oneotthem ; while the illustrious parents
of the disguised personages,,were unable
to distinguish the beloved Members . of
their own households, or the .' children on
-whom the mantles of their good names
must ere long fall, and into whose keep
ing ere Many winters, they must likewise
surrender the custody of their—pocket
books. The Grand March, iu which about
50 couples prticipated, led by Professor
Danielle, who wore a magnificent costume
representing Aurora Borealis, and S. S.
Polsome, of St. John, N. 8., in a beauti
ful character costume, representing a
Knight' of the Golden Criss, began at 8:40.
The jmaskers entered' the Hall front the
Green Room through the main entrance
door,. and to the music of Staten's •orchea-,
tra, went through the evolutions embraced
in what is called" " The March of the
Amazons," to the - evident delight of the
large number of spectators wile occupied ,
seats upon the stage and around the large
Rail. As the bespangled column counter=
marched, colored lights were thrown upon
it which added. very • materially to the
beauty of the ispectacle. At the ,conclu-
Mon of the march daneingwas at once be

when the msech preceding the unmask

*poked over the happy ' throng as they
smilingly and good-naturedly made trier-

was with a tinge of sadness that we
call
ed to mind the fact that in all that merry

masking took place at the Ward Rom
twenty-five years ago, -- and that among
the spectators there were less than twelve
persons who were present on (bat cocoa-

GOLDEN WEDDING.
On Thursday afternoon, February 10,
1881, several of the relatives and friends
of Mr. and Mrs; JOUR liArrEßilf conceiv
ed the idea of • making ,Them a .vialt, at
their hams, in Merrick —#‘: . being the 50th

planned surprise to the aged couple. • Mr.

of all their friends and neighbors. About
twenty-five persons were'present—among

ter a season of social conversation, the
cdmpany gathered around the hospitable
'table, where they found a delicious repast
and all seemed to enjoy the oceasinn—not
excepting .the aged ,goit, and wife. A
number of valuable presents were left as
a token of the regard of the donors,' which
were duly . appreciated. The gathering

THE NEW RAILROAD
ii communication published in the Can
ton Sentinel of last week, speaks of the
pro!lpects• of the railroad - up the Towanda
Creek as follows :
A number of the citizens of Canton and
vicinity met at the °Mee of Stone.(. Lilley
on Friday evening. to consider •Canton's
chances of being benefitted by the recent
movements iu railroad building.. :D. P.
Elliott was chosen chairman, after which
the meeting.was addressed hy'A. E. Case,
Es q.,. of Marion Centre,. Rama,. The
speaker was listened to • atte,titiVely, and
'gradually the conviction c&ni , over his
hearers that a new railroad up the To
wanda Creep' to Canton, and oh west
through the extensive coal fields recently
surveyed by Peter Herdic, was no vision
ary scheme, but was a project that only
required unity of action and \ organized ef
forts, on the part of those interested, to be
.fully realized. Maps and charts were pre
sented showing the location of some of
the proposed routes, among which •was
one to connect, with the Boston and Alba
ny road at Binghamton, running. south
west
down the Wysox Creek up to To
wanda, thence up the Towanda Creek to
Canton, and on west to Driftwood,
through a country rich in mineral wealth,
abundantly supplied with timber, and
through valleys second to none in -point
-of'fertility.• ,John Fox, of Towanda, a
civil engineer of experience,. Was present
and pronounced the route the best unoccu
pied territory in the State. Remarks were
made by a number of the citizens of Can
all in harmony with the project.
•Oommittees were appointed to confer
with parties interested in the. enterprise.
On motion the meeting adjourned to meet
on the 4th'of March next, and - an invita-
Ulan *as extended to all interested to be
.present.
