"We have been treated to taro so:called
church sociables during this week. The
first'ene, given by the ladies of the M. E.'

one, under the auspices of the ladies of

doesn't lie any more than is his custom,
we should judge that both affairs were
unusually successful. The pilgrim made
it pre-eminently successful so far as his
influence would go. At Mr. Walk is be

THE place where the body of DOHA
liimka; was fastened to the tree, was about
fifty roils below the road, and the tree
itself, is a small pine, which stands just
above a small piece of woods. The tree
is about four rods frow the cow path,
that runs up the hill and along which the
REEL bay went to and from school. It is
surprising the body was not discovered
before, as during the search people were
oftentimes very close to it, not more than
ton or twelie feet. Had she been hang
ing there then,' it seems ahnostinconceiv- -
able that she would not have been discov
ered.,, The weather was very warm and
decay must have set in inimedintely.
When discovered the body was drawn for
ward toward the tree and a small cord at
tached to a small - p..11b, too small to baar
the weight of a person. The skirts &ie
had on were dirty drawn off her as if
she had been dragged
,along, one skirt
trailing out behind her and only caught
on one foot. Her head was thrown back,
the body resting on its knees. ft was a
revolting sight. The skin, was nearly
black and drawn tightly ol'ror tho face,
the eyes sunk iu their sockets, the tongue
drawn back an I the &Ai' falling from
bands and limbs.— Troy Gffiette.

LIFE AND WORK OF PRESIDENT
GARFIELD.
Embracing an account of His Struggles
in Childhood ; His Career as a Soldier ;
His Success as a Statesman . ; His Eleva
tion to the Presidency ; His Dastardly
Assassination. By JOHN CLARK RED
PATH, LL.D. Published by 'imps Broth
ers & Co., Cincinnati, Chicago, Philadel
phia and Kansas City.
The life, public services and tragic
death of President G.thrztro furnish a
record of more interest than any chapter
of corresponding length in American hie,-
tory. Under treatment of a masterly pen,
it expands to a narrative in which the ca
reer, of . the student, the scholar, the phil
osopher, the soldier, the statesman and
the executive, form a panorama of the
most instructive word-pictures known to
our literature—a narrative that will com
mand the study and admiration of the
world for evermore. _
The author of the work hereby an.
nounsed is one of the most eminent of liv
ing historians ; a ripe scholar, a thorough
investigator, and charming writer. Pis
histories are well known and prized wher
ever English is the. prevailing tongue.
He approaches this , biography with a
more eloquent pen than any heretofore
used by him, because the subject is an iu
spiration to eloquence, to truth, to rever
ence, to all that is admirable in humanity.
A nobler theme for the modern writer
can not be found.
' It is indeed fortunate for the communi
ty that an author so well endowed with
every qualification for the, work has en
gaged in its preparation. .His name is a
guarantee of faithful 'performance. His
GARFIELD iethat which occupies the in
• oat sanctuary of- the American heart
and appeals to its tenderest sympathies ;
that teaches the bravest lessons, to our
youth and the noblest to our, manhood ;
that irradiates from our national glory a
brighter halo than ever illumes the mem
ories of kings and potentates, or makes
illustrions_the conquerors of States. His
narrative is the electric'ehain which trans
mits the wondrous story of endurance,
triumphs over obstacles, and final achieve--
dent, that will live in the annals of the
world so long as virtue is revered and'
truo nobility honored. i -
There are other works Well pretend
to recount the same histoiy. Most of
thorn are revamped from cheap biogra
phies which were.. made 'to influence the
PtesidentialCampaign, of 1880, and are
not of permanent value., Others are still
more valueless, having been _hastily com
piled from articles in the 'newspapers and
magazines, without regard to proper ver
ification or arrangement. Dr. REDPATR'S
book is thoroughly authentic. Its facts
are derived from undoubted authority,
and as a rule, from original sources of in
formation. It ithOulfl, and doubtless will,
supplant most of the trashy, publications
which have made GARFIELD' their subject
in profanation of his tame and for mer
chanilisei of his memory

Dear. Bir :4When
,7our letbrr of the
*lBth Instant came' to bend, I was not
aware that it,wouti api4r, in the
,pebliO
prints, and supposed that the brief reply
of the ' 18th, which I nut you by mail,
was all that the case durum:idol ; butane.
it luis been given to the public through
the press„ a reply will ,be expected
through the same medium.'
To be reockgnised as "a competitor in
'trade" by a man of such eiteusive buss•
ness interests, is most "gratifying to one
of limited "pretensions.
The Syracuse Chilled Steel Plow is of
fered to farmers with the mum= that
the moldboard is a commdtkon of iron
and steel, Ind I have the affidavit of Mr..
11. Wien], Superintendent of the Syn.
cure Chilled Plow Company, and also
that of 'Mr. Grorge Sturgis, =foreman of
the foundry of said Company, sworn and
subscribed October.2o, :1.:1, before Ed
ward Kent, Notary Public, Onondaga
County, N. Y., setting forth that such is
the fact, and I stand ready, upon your
deposit of the proffered "Fifty Dollars,"
to demonstmte to anicoinpetent board - of
judges "that it has steel in it."
At our annual county fairs a large num
ber of premiums and diplomas have been
awarded upon articles exhibited by you.
How much "superior diplomacy" bad to
do in obtaining those awards is left to the
consideration of ottrare? But the "ap
peal from the decision of the judges"
"shows how much it "alters the case
when "it is your bull that has killednne
of my oxen." "Four times has the Sy
racuse Plow been awarded the diploma
over the Wiard at our county fairs. Four
times in succession the: e W iard Plow has
had to take a back seat." The Wiard
Plows were beaten in the trial of April
19, 1881, on stony - side hill, on the farm
of Benjamin Bride, in Asylum. They
weribeatenagain in quality of work and
in average ease of draft at the trial of Oc
tober 21st, on the farm c f G. IL Fox, in
Towanda township—notwithstanding the
forenoon of that, day was occupied in
training men and teethe in their use in'an
adjacent field—by Syracuse Plows that
had never turned the soil, and a man and
team that had not plowed a furrow during
the last six weeks. And it was only after
bringing a powerful array of influence to
the rescue that they were barely ablei in
contradiction of the openly expressed
opinion of a large.number of disinterest
ed gentlemen on the ground, 'to :obtain
the - preference for work done at th i r trial
of October 22d.
If, with a knoWledge of these facts you
still "conscientiously , believe' the Wiard
the best chilled plow in the market," it
would be folly to attempt, by, any ' opera
tion possible under the blacksmith's ham
mer, or by any process known in metal
lurgy to demonstrate.to your mind that
'the Syracuse mold-board "has any steel
in it."''
Allow me to state, that during and
since the trials of 21st and 22d, I have re
ceived orders for half a dozen Or more
plows, and that one of these Orders is
from one. of the gentlemen on the Board
o. Judges•at those trials.
Hoping_this-is the end of our newspa
per controversy, bnt holding - myself in
readiness to meet you in a "fair field tri
al" of plows at any-time, in any_ kind of
soil, plowing under coarse manure, stub
ble, weeds, or any green crop,
I have the honor to subscribe myself,
very Respectfully, .

Wyalusing has been visited by a shoW

to be recognized by the - fraternity, is
there is one billed for this place next
Wednesday evening. -
At a meeting of the boai of directors
of the Wyalusing Cemetery Association,
Saturday, October 29, it was decided to
advertise for sealed proposals to remove
the trees root and branch from the ceme

most valuable citizens in Mr. E. R.
