EXCITEMENT AT ATHENS.
A correspondent of the Elmira Adver
tiser writes that paper as follows : " Con
siderable excitement' was created in
Athens, yesterday, by the report that
Drcx . Monne; a' Lehigh Valley brake
man, was in the place last Friday, suffer
ing from variolold. The facts.are as fol
lows: On the day in question .MoNtroa
called on a physician and was told that he
had that disease, and to go home immedi
ately, but he being intoxicated, felt ugly.
and took special pains to go about the
streets, and finally took the evening train
south, passing back and forth through
the cars. lie stopped at Milton [Milan,
no doubt,.] and went to the hotel, thence
to his home where his mother was, and
where he still remains in her care. Its
to be hoped that he failed in his infamous
design of spreading the disease.
.Our own correspondent sends us the
following additional particulars
"Quite an ;excitement was caused here
recently, by rerrtalegarding the' doings
,of one 'Mee Montrot. a resident of
lelilan,_eruployech on the L. V. IL -R.; as
brakemar, who is now down with vario
bold. It seems that he had been exposed
at sonre place. down the line, and - being
sick applied' to physicians here for ad
vice. He was told that 'his disease was
varioleid, and that be ought to go home
at once. He from some motive remained
abont town and conversed with people for
some time before taking the train for-Mi
lan where he stopped at the hotel awhile
before going to bis mother's holm. He
took special , pains to enter and pass
th rough every car on the train. Report says
that citizens of that place threatened to
shoot him if fie again - appeared to expose
them to such a loathsome disease ; and
further it is said that he willfully exposed
himself there'and here , because he owes
both places a grudge. If these are true
shooting is too good for his offense. His
reputation is low at all events, and if the
disease should spread - this will be 'a place
too warm for him in the future. His
mothef has bad small-pox, and he might
have gone home sooner like a man in
stead of imitating% fiend of the pit."
GETTING READY TO DIE.
SIMoN C,Oisittios, of East Troy, has
commenced building a vault at the East
Troy cemetery, of stone and marble,
large enough to contain himself and wife
and so arranged when completed, that a
slab of marble can be raised by his friends
to look on Ids remains. They are both
quite old people, and very eccentric. He
has for some time past been contemplat
ing this thing, and is now at it in "dead
earneat," , l and has partly negotiated with
FRANK KNAPP, undertaker, for the metal
lie glass top caskets, which he wants - to
Pay for, also attendance and, when h 4
leaves this world be "in debt to no one."
He has made this a Matter of business.
In procuring ground be has looked over
the Troy cemetery, but could not satisfy
himself as to the; rice of lot, and took
the. other because he could get it more
satisfactorily. Such is lire, and also
death.--Eitnira Sunday Tidings.
THE BELL.
On Tnesday, November 1, 1881, a bell
was left at the First M.. E. Chuith door
in Asyluni, weighing eighty hundred
pounds, from the Bell Foundry at Troy,
N. Y. It is the munificent gift of our
neighbor, Mr. F: H. HAGOERMAN. On
Thursday. following, Mr. R. E. GILBERT
and a party in , force, raised the strong
frame in the morning, and after dinner
the great bell was raised slowly_ to its
present resting , place. About three o'clock
r. M., the valley was filled with its beau
tiful sound. The good people heard the
joyful se.und ; they are no More as the
lonely SELKIRK in his wild island home,
where he never beard the sweet sound of
the sweet chureh-going bell, or familiar
voice of such a friend. Other repairs are
soon to follow. Mr. F. X. HOMET has
bought a lot of A No. 1 slate to' re-roof
said chinch. This man, now at the top.
of the years, has never fallen 'behind the
expectation of_the peel's in princely giv
ing to the good cause here and elsewhere.
Others have done well in prospect of plac
ing in the pulpit a splendid sofa, or sofa
chairs, as the selection may be ; also a
communion set. We cannot mention the
names of all those who are- grandly i ay
log for these things, as time and space
forbid. The church has already been
frescoed in the highest style of i art by
Meting. SaIWEPPE & EAGER, of Elmira,
N. Y. Au elegant set of chandeliers
raring over each aisle.', These are not
things to boast over, but only needed-im
provements for the ;comfort and' welfare
of the people of this fertile valley; and
those of the near and fruitful hide. In
view of alt these favor's we feel in an es
pecial manner to thank Gon, the Great
Giver, foe His love and providence, while
all are enjoying the blessing in a land of
peace, plenty and, happiness..

ritxrivan OF szv. E. J. NOIREIL
The first lecture of the Winter Course
WAS delivered at the: Susquehanna Colle
giate •Itistitute on Monday evening, 'by
Rev. .E: .1. Mounts, of Reath. , The dis
course, of which the subject was ." The
Use or Uses of Learning , ' wad one which
bore witness to the powet and scholarship
of the orator. • •
The first- thing brought before the
minds of the listeners was the question so
Often asked by parent and child, " What
Is the practical use of spending so much
time in the pursuit of learning?" -To the
child this cannot always be satisfactorily_
explained, and he must be willing to walk
by faith for a time. Parents may have
various reasons for_keeping their children
ut school. 'Some parents think learning
the first step totiards opulence. , But it
has been satisfactorily , demonstrated that
the most, successful -business then • are
those who have devoted the energies of a
lifetime to that particular line in which
they are engaged ; while those who first
receive an extensive educlition and after
wards devote themselves to business are
btit partially successful. Again, if the
object of parents is keeping their children
at school is future distinction, they will
be disappointed. For 3t is only in excep
tionable cases that a learned man gains
honor, distinction and polar ; while the
,role - shows that: learning gives the orna
ment of a.meek and lowly spirit.
One of the first elements of - life is en.
joyment, and' learning adds , to that.
Learning enables a man to make pleas
anter and more profitable, journeys by his
fire side than his unlearned neighbor can
make by Spending- thousands of dollars
and years of life in travelling over conti,
neat and Ocean. In short learning brings
the world to man. Learning also gives
to man that scarce - and highly-prized ar
ticle, "society," hilts highest form. For
one who has Lemurs° to= the writings of
such men as Plato, Sophocles, anti Shake
speare car hold communion with the most
vigorous minds of the age.
A few things said to be antagonistic to
learning, as science, common-sense, and
religion are dipendent upon it. As in
politics it is said that those politicians
from whom the- country has derived the
most practical good are . those who can
boast of comparatively . few educational
advantages. This is , probable true, but
in recognizing, this fact we realize how
much greater thinss they might have ac
complished bad their powers received
higher cultivation. So, also, the men of
science acknowledge 'their indebtedness
to classic lore ; and laymen . as well as
theologians ar enabled to distinguish
enabled
between essentia 4 and non-essential points
in religions doe .
FATAL ACCIDENT
Am Ulster correspondent of the. Elmira
Advertiser writes as follows : "Wittiest
McQuEEN and JAMES Tnoor, two young
men residing near Ulster, went out hun
ning on Sunday last, for the kindly put
pow. of procuring some game for a
sink neighbor. Both of them saw a squir
rel in a tree and were advancing toward
it, with' their guns already cocked,, when
MCQtJEEN, who was about ten feet be
hind his companion, stumbled,, and his
gun went off. The charge entered the
body of TrtifrOP behind the fifth rib and
passed through his right lung. He livui
about forty minutes. Young McQuErs
was alm9st distracted with grief and hor
ror at the death of his friend and coMpati
ion. The sick hidy, , for whom they were
trying to procure something with which
to tempt her failing appetite, died Sun
day night. Her name was Mrs. ADDIS
HALL, and she was a datighter of AN
DREW MHO, living near Ulster."
Prinn our regular correspondent we get
the following additional and detailed par
ticulaip
"A sad accident occurred near our vil
lage_ Sunday—Ale particulars of which
are as follows: JAMES TROUPE, WILLIAM
McQuEEN. and JAY KING were in the

for squirrels ; they discoviireirtnia a
tall tree, and dividing they were ap
proaching
from d' © rent directions, the.
TROUPE boy being 'ahead of McQuEEN,
and Mi. KING to the left. All had their
eyes bent 'upon the tree, not noticing
where they were stepping. While thus
engaged, McQnnEN caught his foot in a
root and , - stumbling to the ground his
hand lost the hold on the hammer, which
springing down discharged the gun the
contents of which entered the back of
TnourE near the right _shoulder blade,
penetrating to some depth and some of
the shot must have struck the spine from
the direction of them. Mr. KING ran to
GEORGE BARTHOLOMEW'S for assistance,
and also to M. P. HANSOM- e; but before
he returned from the latter place_ young
TnourE was dead. A jury composed of

Review if the Depert erSadges
Draft of Chilled Flew Tribal on. 21st.
The writer ass dealer In Chilled Plows fa not
willing to have it, claimed 'for his, or any other
chilled ploir—that 'they Only require a draft of
from $7 to 42 lbs, to the 100 cubic iincbes of heavy
sod and stiff toll tuned. The worthy Secretary
of our County Agricultural Society. Captain Wilt,
et-County-Coisimon-School-Superiatendent, uses
figures beyond my tonsprehenlion in calculating
the sneer, draft per 100 cubic inches of earth
'turned. 'ln my school days, from 45 to 60 years
ago, wo used Dafloil•s, and, later, Adams , Arith.
menu, we were taught that if It required 600 lbs.
draft to turn 125 cubic inches of earth, that 100
cubic inches would require 400 lbs. Is it possible
that the science of figures has so changed since my
school boy days, as to show that the 400 lbs. should
.be divided by 12;—making 23;4 lbs. draft to 100
cubic inches P It would seem so; for I biro been
.unable to ‘ ronvinee the Captain that an Inch board ,
lets Inches contains 17.8 cubic inches of lumber.
Ile 'would divide 128x12, making the cubic Indies
10%.
