njFRECEDESTED SUCCESS. VV« ICQ gl«d
l e j, o ibai the Atlantic Monthly is meeting
, h Jrea | favor from all sources. Though
Ibf publishers printed nearly thirty tkous
0/copies of the January number, this large
~|T was entirely exhausted on the very
j,v of publication, thus compelling many
subscribers and others to wait a few
J !t s before obtaining a copy. The publish

ind*nh their present facilities they, will be
ible to supply the demand, however large it
mr be. Their subscription, received by
nail alone from all parts of the country,
li,e averaged more than one hundred a day,
pr tome lime past. Mrs. H. B. Stowe’s
ie« serial, “The Minister’s Wooing,” is im
usosely popular, as indicated by the success
tfcicb is thus attending the enterprising pub
lulieri efforts to make the Atlantic the era
talunent of all that is entertaining and in
itracltve.—Boston Traveler.
We learn that one night last week, a farmer
residing near Kanona, on the Howard road,
»j! awakened by a noise in his stable.—
He immediately dressed himself, and seizing
a dub proceeded to the scene of action ; he
knd his stable-door open, and two men
[aside. He listened and heard one of them
remark (hat “he could not get the bit in
bis (horse’s) mouth,” when he immediately
iieppedtoihe door and enquired “who was
there ?*’ This query was responded lo on
ih« pari of the thieves by the presentation
of a pisiol lo his breast, hui without waiting
for him lo fire, ihe farmer dealt him a stout
blow over ihe head, which almost instantly
killed him. Vie Uved-lo say “there are more
” and then btealhed his last. The other
thief made himself scarce. There was about
84000 found on the body n( the dead' man,
but nothing affording a clue to his identity.—
Dansville Sentinel.
The Argus intimates that because its edi
tor lived in a ‘‘neighboring county” to Jlfr.
Gaorv, he may “know more of the man”
than we do. Well, we lived in the same
county with Mr. Grow for five years, and
fire more in an adjoining county ; and whe
ther toiling for his widowed mother on a
becchwoods farm—aiding his older brothers
to tunning lumber down Tunkhannock creek

Harford, in the college at Amherst, or in law
offices at Montrose and Towanda—or for a
Writ lime the choice of 8,000 majority of
tit voters of his district—in all these varied
relations, we have yet to hear the first word
derogatory to him as a man or as a citizen.

taouehcd as an infallible Remedy for the core of—

TisG op blood, pain in the Breast,, Croup, ‘Whooping Cough,
ana every form of Pulmonary Complaint, that it were a work
of J s? Prorogation to speak of its merits.
Discovered by a celebrated physician more than twenty
y®* ll * tfacsi it has by the ■wonderful cures it has effected been
constantly appreciating in public favor, until its use and its
use and its reputation are alike universal; and it is now well
known and cherished by all (and their “name is legion”) who
nave been restored to health by its use as the Great Remedy
for all the diseases which it professes to cure.
Sit James Clarke, physician to Queen Victoria, has given
it as hia opinion that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE C URED.
The whole history of this medicine fully confirms the opin
ion of that eminent man. Thousands can testify, and have
testified, that when all other remedies had failed, this tad
completely cured; that when the sufferer had well nigh des
paired, this had afforded immediate relief; that when the
physician bad pronounced the disease incurable, this has re
moved it entirely.
The virtues of this Balsam are alike applicable to core a
slight coM or a CoNvnuin> Consumption, and its power as a
safe, certain, speedy, pleasant and effectual remedy cannot be
equalled.

The New York Tribune.
1858-59.
—Thx New York Tribune, now more than seventeen years
old, which was the first journal in the world that appeared
regularly on an imperial eight-page sheet at so low a price as
two cents, and which has attained the anpafallcled aggregate
of more than 200,000 subscribers, respectfully solicits Its
share of the patronage which the J/etropolitan Press is hence
forth to receive. It asks especially the patronage and active
favor of Republicans— of those who hate all forms of oppres
sion, and desire that every rational being shall be free to em
ploy his faculties in such innocent manner as he shall deem
best—of those who would extend Liberty and limit Slarety;
but it further appeals likewise to all who look and labor for
the return of National thrift, plenty.prosperity, through thu
Protection of American Industry by wisely discriminating
duties on Imports—all who favor Nationol Progress through
internal development and melioration rather tnan by exter
nal agression and extension—all who would rather have the
National resources devoted to the construction of a railroad
to the Pacific than to the purchase or conquest of Mexico,
Nicaragua or Cuba—all who would retrench radically our
present inordinate Fed» ral expenditures by abolishing or im
mensely reducing the Army and Navy, and expending the
money thus saved on works of beneficence which will endure
to bless our children—all who profoundly realize that “Right
eousness exaltcth a nation,” and that no real advantage can
ever accrue to any person or community from acquisitions or
successes achieved by means which contravene tho laws of
Federal Right. The free allotment of limited portions of the
Public Lands to Actual Settlers thereon, and every hopeful
plan intended to diminish the sum of human misery from
dearth of employment or inadequate recompense—every
scheme especially that seems to help the unfortunate by en
abling and teaching them to help themseh es—must command
our earnest sympathy und cooperation.
Within the present year The Tbibuns has provided itself
with a new ami faster pre»s, at a cost of SJO.OOO, merely that
some of our subscribers may receive their papers a mail ear
lier than they otherwise might do. I With correspondents at
the most important points throughout tho civilized world,
and a staff of writers chosen from among the best in the
country, we believe that even those who dislike the politics
of our sheet concede to it frankness in avowing its convic
tions and ability in maintaining them. We appeal then, to
those -who believe that an increased circulation of Tho Trib
une would conduce to the political, intellectual and moral
well-being of tho Republic, to aid us in effecting such in
crease. As we employ no traveling solicitors of subscrip
tions. we ask our present patrons in every locality to speak
to their neighbors and friends ia our behalf; we shall gladly
receive from any friend lists of those who would receive and
read a specimen copy of oufe of our editions, and shall be
particularly grateful to those who may send us such names
from post-offices at which jive have now no subscribers.—
Whatever additions may thus be made to our circulation
shall be paralleled by increased efforts and expenditures to
make our issues more valuable and useful than they have
hitherto been.

Notice.
TO the School Directors of Tioga and Potter
Counties: We make the following proposal.
That the President of every board of Directors
that adopts the use of Brown’s Grammar iu their
respective districts, where they are not now used,
will if he wishes, be presented with a copy of said
Grammar for the use of said District, by calling at
the Book Store of Smith & Richards on Main St.
Wellsboro, Pa.
And we will agree (o furnish a sufficient number
of said Grammars to supply every School that shall
adopt them, at the Publisher’s wholesale price, ad.
ding transportation, which is a mere trifle. We
feel confident that the superiority of this Grammar
over all others ia such that it will recommend itself
to all who will take pains to examine it.

Institute, at the Bookstore of

Goold Brown’s System, in its present revised and graduated

from any other work of the kind,”—Z. L. pAttKua, I’rincipal
