"The chief worl: of the society at present is to canvass the en tire county by its colportcur, Rev. G. N. l'aelusr.and ascertain what families are sup plied wi h the Bible, and who aro I destitute. H j e is al o instructed to sell to tho l se wishing to purchase. and .. to donate to the destitute who arelunable to buy, and to collect funds for this Purpose. By actual visitation it has been wreertained that the• destitution' is sur prising. Interesting nddiesses were deliver- Ni by Revs i - Messrs. Reynolds, Calkins and Buck. Th 4. etii•et of the [meeting. was most encouraging. Trrr. Bram BLocr..—Messrs, Con verse & Osgood moved into their new store lact week, and can but find it avast improve ment over their old quarters. To say noth ing of the increased convenience and facil itids for doing business,—which is the main consideration, of course—the fine proporti , ng and perfect finish - of - 141e room most 1-e a source of great gratification not only to the proprietorc, but to all their customers. It eighty feet longin theelear, twenty feet wide in front, and twelve feet high. The v.-alls and ceiling arc well finished an - 11 iliorouo - ')y kalsomined. Thccouriter tops iOld broad shelves are solid clierry finely stain'ed , and varnished. The drawerttre all finish , 11 in• the same style and of the same 'rood. Ore excellent feature of them, new tops at lra-t, is that they arc so made' Oki to sequin , nw knolyi or handles of ;lay sort, thus imprcvin; their looks and rendering them rtio•P con venient. The, wood-work is th4otichly and tastefully finished, and reflects credit upon our Wellsboro joiners. But the chief glory of the store is J f ou nd in its ,hcautiful"front windows. Pich c of them is a single unbroken pane of perfect rrench plate, so pure and colorless. as to be it, These windows occupy the. whole front of thd store, and admit a flood oftlight, Ten-. deringan'reOM as cheerful possible.' ' The other store in the bleak titheproperty of *fudge Williams andis to be in all respects a perfect duplicate orate ono of which we have already spoken. It will be 'Coinpleted in a few da,vi, when it will be occulted by Messrs. Holliday & Mathers with a stock of dry goods. , , ; • ' • The stair - Lases ' are hi the middle of. the building between the two stores and are, finished in, solid polished chestnut. Each step of the stairs is `protected_ by, an iron treed. On the second floor the 'doors, wain scoting and all the wood-Work is of chestnut. This floor is cut up into four room', sat offices thoroughly finished- in`every 're spect. One of them is already occupied by Judge Williams. 1 The third story, which is thirteen feet in the clear, is now being fitted up• for the Odd Fellows and Masons, and will furnish most convenient and pleasant lodge rooms. This story, although not in.so expenstvera style as'the others, is handsomely and gubstan tinily finishea. , . In fate, thereseems to be no sham about the building anywhere. The walls arc of solid brick ; the floors are of clear Norway pine, laid in narrow strips, perfectly planed, matched and grooved, and thoroughly detidened- by three inches , Of mortar.' Every WitidOw4ash is hung with cord and weight, and we believe every pee ofthem,cart be raised and lowered at will—a good thing in a 'window, which is not _uni versal, and which is more important filan,"it seems at first Mull. Oyer each door the two upper aeries is a transom window with patent hanging so as tolbe always open when unfastened, thus insuring perfect Ventilation. Thenew block is, without doubt,. the best and most substantial building devoted to business purposes in town, and reflects cred it upon its proprietors, Messrs. Williams and Converse, as well as upon' the thorough me chanics who have put it up. Thebriek - work was done by Mr. E. A. Lloyd, and the" car penter and' joiner work by Messrs. Carr, Forsyth and D, and A. Sturrock. The painting and; decorating 'vas the work of Mr. John C. Jacobs. Main street needs more stores of the ante class, and wo trust our "running workers' will have frequent op portunities to match the thorough skilled labor that has been bestowed on this block. A RENTINISCE*.E OF LILIERTY.AboIIt the your 1800, as near as can ho ascertained, the first White man penetrated the dense wild erness of Liberty township. lie was a French Canadian advenairer. He followed up the Indian trail, and pushed his way on until he arrived at the spilt where the villnge.of Lib erty now stands. , This executric,and adven turous Man Mr. Anthony Son, (for that was his name), at that early day in the history of our township, was monarch of all 'he could survey of the surrounding forest country, having no one his right to dispute. He built himself a rude house out of hewed logs, find gave it n shape something like a Block-House fortification, it was arranged with port holes on either side, for the pur pose, it is supposed, of resisting the attacks of the Indians, who were occasionally trav eling through from the Tioga River, .to the waters of the Lyeoming Creek. His door-, way, orplace of entrance into the building, was from the top, by a trap door arrange ment. The name Block-House, that our vil lage is even called by at the present day by some persons, took its origin from the above mentioned singular structure. . This singular pioneer, from what we can learn of his history, was an old renegade sol dier, and at some time prior to his advent into the wilderness of Y.ibeity took an act ive part in some of 'the frontier wars along the line:; between Canada and the United State... It is not hnovni - how long Mr. An thony-Son hve4 alone in his fore 4 home, hut 'row what We can learir from some very old lIIVII that passed through the wilderness in the year lt4ks- he then had a woman living with him, :iii kept a sort of a one-Lorne Ho tel nit• the ente.rtainment. of any etragglers that. might pass _through Ilia dominions. It is stated by the suite old men, that the ac commodations of - his hotel were very limit ed." His table was_ very scantily supplied with the,luntries of the present day. Corn dodgers, venison, Irish pot,atoes, and rye cof fee seasoned with maple sugar, and the milk of a female dos, constituted the bill of fare to be found on his table. His guests were few and scattering. Once in a long while some hunters and , trappers would put up with him to partake of his Jude hospitalities. OCCASIONAL. THE WONDER OF THE slag.—The greatest that has over visited our city is now in otir midst. Wo allude to the negro, Geo. Thom as, of whim so much has been said; the man with such a }.emarkablo interim! organize tidn that ho van manipulate his heart and pulse at Will. He arrived in the city on Monday, and was at the office of Drs. Thom as and Ed. Lyons, on Fourth street, the same evening, where he was examined by a large number, medical men and others. The pliy sicians, with one or two exceptions, admit ted the extraordinary case, but expressed their utter inability to explain it upon any established scientific principles. 'l ho man has been examined by eminent surgeons and scientific men, both in this country and Eu rope, but none have attempted to give an ex planation of the phenomenon, He has a very confident manner and im plicit faith in his wonderful power of opera tion. lie seems to take delight in exhibit ing himself. His pulse is stopped by him at will, and remains in that condition for several seconds. He will allow any • one to listen to the beating of his !wait, and whilst they ale listening will suddenly stop it entirely. The next tent• i.s to move the heart downward to a point below the ribs, where its beatings can be distinctly felt.— One of the most marvelous of his freaks is to set his abdominal parts into a violent eaui motion, in which they roll and surgelike the motion of tall grass under the influence of a strong gale. Whilst this is in progress the heart is thrown over to the right side, first h, lots the ribs, and next at a point opposite its natural position. The abdominal mus cles, lifter tile contortions referred to, are left in a corded, knotted condition, in which they appear to utterly defy any ettbrts at in dentation. The ease of this man is truly a remarkable one, and worth being aeon by every person who enjoys the marvelous.—Gazette 4. Bull etin. =I The lumbering barn belonging to H. Clin ton, Jr., in tbu town of Lindley, in this county, was burned on Wednesday of lalst week, together with a quantity of oak ties, balk, timber, ike., besides doing great dam age to timber standing. Loss $1,000; uo in ~~nanee. The house of Ira S. Alby, who keeps a boarding house for lumbermen near by, was entirely surrounded by the lire. Mr. A. was away, and the women folks were frightened and ran into the house to get an :iy from the heat, the house took fire and but for the timely aid of some men who saw the smoke and came to the rescue, the house, with its contents, would have been consumed. —_ , lddion Advertiser, ,11ny 15.
