IQPBIETOB. fJ * 1 I , On Monday night last about ten o’clock John F. Donaldson, Esq., Prothonotary, went Into bis office, and on attempting to light a fluid lamp, it exploded. Some of the fluid got on his , clothes, and but for his -presence of mind in running but and rolling'in the wet grass in frontbf the office, he would have un doubtedly been burned to death. As it was he was considerably burned, particularly on his hands. He is able-now to leave his room, and expects to resume his business, in a week or two. .. , B©* The Republican Convention of Susque hanna County have re-nominated Hon. Gai.usha A. Grow by acclamation, and passed the fol lowing resolutions: “ Resolv'd, That in again presenting tho name of our foi low citizen, Hon. G. A. Grow, to the Republicans of the Dls trict, tre desire to do no Injustice to tho worthy and esteemed gentlemen wl*o may bo named from other counties; but-Mr. Gft>w has become a national man, be ij identified with great national questions, by ,hia talents and untiring industry he bos acquired a standing and influence which the Republican party now need and which ought to b© continued.ln the Na tional Council?. We therefore earnestly solicit the’members of .tho party in thoother counties, with their usual patriot ism, again to yield local preferences to the great of the party, and to assent uauaimoasly to tho nojsiinulion of Mr. Grow. “ Resolved , That S, B Chase, Esq., and C.-W.

Mr. Bushor, the gentlemanly Superintendent of the Germania Farm Association, informs ns that nearly enough stock has already been sub scribed to make it a sure thing. Three routes have beeni surveyed—the shortest being 231- miles—the longest 35 miles.-t As soon as space allows us,,we shall give a more extended no tice of this work and show how Tioga County is to be affected and her lumbering pnd farming interests to be benefited by such a Railroad. .vvßgy- Struck with Lightning. —On Saturday morning sast, about 2 o’clock, during a thunder shower, barn filled with hay, grain, &c.> thelpropertyof Hiram Freeborn in Chatham township,: struck with lightning and en tirely desiioyfid. The barn was on high ground and therefore exposed. Farmers! should to seo that lightning rods are placed upbn property of this kind. Wo learn that the Iqss is about ?400, No insurance. —Since the above was put in type, we .learn that during the prevalence of the thunder storm of Monday night, the lightning struck the east peak of the barn of Ezra Stevens in Meddle bury,,tearing the gable end out about half way down, i and setting fire to the bay. A number of harvest hands who were at the house with Mr. Stevens, went to work with ladders and i r water and soon extinguished the flames. Loss about“fiftpen dollars. JSSy-We have received a copy of the List of Premiums of Ihe'Pennsylvnnia Agricultural So ciety at its tenth annual exhibition to be held at the Wyoming Battle Ground (near ,Wi!kes barre) oh the 2.5 th, 2Gth, 27th, and 28ti of Sep tember. . The pamphlet is very poorly printed, but probably good enough for'the object of it. We notice that most of the Committees are com posed of prominent politicians, who are better at wire-pulling than any thing else, and who probably'know little or nothing of farming.— Many of, the most populous counties in tho State are! entirely omitted in the appointment of the Committees, We believe the whole thing to be an unmitigated humbug under its pres ent management; and if the three or four hundred'politicians whose names appear on the committees want to get together for a “good time,” they ought not to ask the State to bear a part ofitheir expenses. ( J@”Qur enterprising friend of the Pennsyl vania House,-Mr. J. W. Bigoney, has been ma king some marked improvements in and about this evor-popular hotel. The old nuisance of a chimney, an’unpleasant reminder of the “dark ages,” together with the elenhantile fire-placo which his so long graced theniggest half of the bar-toom, have been removed, as baa also the lilliputian specimen of a bur and counter. A neat counter now reaches tho whole width of tho bar-room, leaving at the! end a space for a small docri Tho room has*, also been newly papered and painted, and certainly presents a cheer/ul! appearance. Other changes have been made for the better both in the arrangement and management of tho house, but of which we have not-now time to speak. Bigoney is a nat ural landlord, and we hope ho may receive the encouragement and patronage which his efforts so justly deserve. ■THE' ELECTORAL VOTE.

It may be considered hardly necessary for us to say anything in regard to it, but vife cannot let the opportunity pass by without offering a few remarks by way of “ im provement.” . There ire.now before the people many very worthy^tizens— intelligent and active mem hers of our party —asking for the few offices this yean in the gift of the people. In view of the greatt results involved in, andjof the great importance in a National point of view Of the State election in October, it is the bonnden du ty of every good citizen to turnout to the elec tions, and by this means secure if possible tbs' nomination of snob men as will be most likely to'createfthe most enthusiasm, and poll the lar gest votes at that time. Under our present or ganization the delegate elections' are 6F far mors importance than any other. The result of them is justly|considered the voice of ! the people. It is of tie first importance, therefore, that the people 'should turn out and see that they are fairly represented by selecting men who are known Mid tried Republicans—men who value the principles of bur party far higher than they value ths success of certain candidates,-I—men 1 —men who are reliable, discreet, and competent. A question arises at every delegate election as to thejbest method of choosing delegates.— The truest representation of the real sentiments of the people is a direct rote for the candidates —the relult of snoh vote to ho regarded as in structions to the delegates. Thus: Jet each vo ter, deposit in tbo the names of the candidates he would like to have placed in no mination ; or if the vote be viva voce, let ■ accu rate tallies be kept; then if A has more votes for Prot|onotnry than. B, lot the delegates be instructed to vote for ( A in the Convention} if C_bas mbre votes than I> for Recorder, let this also be Considered ns instruction to tbo dele gates ; and so with all the other offices. This method seems to us to be the only fair way of getting kt the choice of tho people. Office seekers- Isually bring about so many combina tions of Interests and influences that if a citi zen vote! for a delegate who may agree with him in tpe support of one candidate, he may be giving strength by that same vote to another' candidate whose success be would not seek to advance! Electors would do well to think over these matters before-hand After p ‘very nominating contention, it is tfsnal ;crtn!iit tt'en find fault with tlionomina- Jpon inquiry’it Tvillfbe found that these those who paid no attention to the dej ection, deeming it of too little impor ■ lose an hour in attending it. These tiof reflect that the primary meetings oarces- of pov/ef, and that at such meet- Iy could they have' corrected the sup rors of which tfeey complain, have thus glanced at a few of the ma jons why our primary elections should attended.

Sheffeu, Sec'y. To the Editor 6f the Agitator: Dear Sir. —T6 the teacher® and those inten ding to teach in the common schools of Tioga County, I have a word to say. Dr. Burrows, State Superintendent, in his instructions to the County Superintendents says: “The expedient called a ‘temporary’ or ‘provisional’ certificate, is unknown to the School Law, and it must soon disappear alto gether. If it do not, the annual examination of teachers will become a mere form for the annual authorization of professional fncompe tency, in greater or less degree.” It is desirable to hasten the period when teaching shall become truly a profession, and teachers receive a “permanent professional” certificate. But this presupposes the most thorough and careful preparation, and an inten tion to make teaching a permanent business. Again, the State Superintendent adds:— “While the State Superintendent admits ■ that this desirable period," when none but perma nent professional certificates shall be granted, “has riot yet arrived,” he insists that instant and decided measures shall he adopted to hast en it. Accordingly, it is his advice and instruc tion to dll County Superintendents, at .price to fix upon certain-members in the various branch es, according to the circumstances of their re spective counties, below which they now issue even a ‘provisional’ certificate ; and to inform all who way obtain these -numbers, that if their figures he notimproved at tbe next annual .exatnination, no further provisional eer .tifioate will be conceded to them.” JT. B. 1. I shall grant permanent profession al certificates to all who come up to the pre scribed standard of scholarship and success in teaching. ; o 2. The standard of scholarship will he’faised at least twenty-five -per cent above that of any previous year. lam conscious that one of the most henfi cial results of the Suporintendeney, is the ele vation of teachers. A number of “teachers’ drills,” will, therefore, be held in different parts of the county during the coming Fall, of which timely notice will be given. Hiram C. Johns, Co. Bup’t. Mainsburg, Aug. 14, 1860. fatlorial Politics. •' Agitator: ■The present Presidential campaign bids fair to be one of the most important political con tests ever inaugurated in this mighty Republic. The political parties striving for supremacy are, very dissimilar in age and creeds. The one ap-' pears upon the field of conflict clothed with the prestige of more than half a century, crcftvnad with the laurels of almost uninterrupted victo ry, and rendered venerable by weight of years. The. other party has not yefpassed .the first decade of political life. But this disproportion in age is leas striking than their antagonism of principles. Hero the youthfulKepublioan par ty stands forth the uncompromising champion of civil liberty and the unflinching foe of every species of human oppression., Republicanism appears upon the arena of conflict not to trans fer the balance of power and then add her quo ta to the political degeneracy that darkens the late annals of pur- country, but to arrest the strong arm of oppression—to stay the torrent of political corruptionithat imperils the free in stitutions of our country. Aged Democracy, weakened in her own camp by internal factions —branded with the infamy of betraying the principles of her’youth—lia§pty recreant to the trusts committed to her charge,—has become the champion of human oppression. She has infested American Slavery with all the autho rity of the legislative, executive and judicial functions of our National Government. She has endeavored to throw around it' the sacred shield of the Constitution ; she has converted every inch of our national into slave hunting-grounds, and legalized slavery in our territories. 1 Here, Citizens, Freemen, is an epitome of the principles of the parties that ask your suffrage; that claim your support approaching election. Can you endorse enormities of the Democratic party?—a .party whose very,name is a palpable misnomer? If not, then array yourself in solid phalanx on the side of Free dom. Vote for the Republican candidates at the next Presidential election, thereby bearing .record, that'you desire the perpetuation of American Freedom, “ While 1 tlio sun _ Doth his successive Journey run.” - * ’ ' dcsies.

Meeting in Middlebury. l Mditor Agitator: , , j - The Tioga County Central Republican Oldb m&t at the Hammond school house, iii Middle-, bury, on Saturday evening, 18th inst., as jfte vioualy announced in your, paper... J. B. Pot ■ter, Esq., was called to preside, and O. M. Stebr bins was elected Secretary. . ! • j ? ‘ , Mr. Fetter then stated the object of the meet , ing. It was to discuss the leading issues now before the American People. and to prepare ourselves to act well our part in the crisis now before us., He concluded by calling for Mr. Ezra Williams of Tioga. ,! _ -■ Mr. Williams, in a short, earnest and inter esting speech, showed the noble principles of the ■ Republican party, and tried to show the meanness and corruption of the so-called De mocratic party, but failed for want of adjectives. He was able, however, to paint its picture so vividly that everybody in the house 'despised the party of false pretences, more than ever. Mr. Strang nest took the stand. He showed how tho old .Whig party died without a strug gle—brought to its grave by its treachery to Freedom. In the satoo way the Democratic party is-dying by inches. - The Bemooratic party of oar Fathers is known only jin history. Mr. S. then reviewed, closely and logically the ques tion of slavery in the territories, its advocates and its opponents. He showed that the argu ments of Donglas und of those who hung to bis coat tails, were fallacious, and that squatter or popular sovereignty, was a cheat and a? hum bug. His speech' Was well received. John'S'. Mann, Esq., of Potter County, being present was called for and took the stand amid tremendous cheers. He commenced by saying that the people of Middlebury must be true blue Republicans to want -another speech, as it was nearly ten o’clock. He proceeded and gave us a good speech, well spiced up with anecdotes of the richest kind, keeping' the audience inter ested and amused at the same time. In the coarse of his remarks he had occasion to men tion the uame of G. A. Grow which called forth loud and continued cheers. John I. Mitchell, of Tioga, was the next speaker; and at tho conclusion of his remarks the meeting adjourned with three hearty cheers Tor Lincoln, Hamlin and Curtin. A few such-rousing meetings as thif one was would raise the’ popular enthusiasm as high as it was in 185&. 6. M. S-TEBriisSj &c'y.
