L. Deane. Entrap—N• J• J. Mann. • Jo B a nkruptcy—Cammings,. Yeomans, Bart lett, P E RsoigAL. — Hon. S. F. Wilson re turned so his home in this village last Friday. HOT CORN.—Geo. D.' Keeney, Esq., of Keeneyville, has'our thanks for two dozen and a half ears of grrfn corn. It is the first of the feason DELICIOUS—That generous ea pl e of cheese from the Round Top Factory, left at this office by Mr. Close, maker. It is as yellow as gold and as fragrant as pineapple. SOCIABLE.—We are requested to state that the Presbyterian • SoCiable will meet at the residence of Mr. E. Fellows, Wednesday evening, August sth. Ice Cream served. THE FRANKLIN LETTER.—We print a letter on the first, page which will bear reading. R was written by Ben. Franklin to Rev. George Whitofield, the great preacher, and its brood views of human duty aro refreshing even after a lapse of 115 years. SCHOOI/CLOSED.—Mrs. Bush closed her school fo the little folks last Friday.' The closing exeticises are reported to us as having been unusually interesting. Dr. Webb was pres ent and sang several songs, and the children re cited appropriate pieces in prose and verse.— Then they had a pic-nic, and were happy, of course.' Mrs. Bush is a very successful teacher of the young. DRAWING.—We have been shown specimens of Drawing by the class now taking the elementary course under direction of master C.'o. Thompson, State-st. The specimens evince talent and careful instruction, and we hope the clam!! may be in eased . Charlie is trying to earn enough to ply his way throughia thorough course of Art under a master. If Vircan get op portunity for instruction in the higher branches of the art, there is every reason to believe that he will !mike his mark among American artists.— 'He is fully competent to teach the Elementary Course. • JUVENILE CONCERTS.—These enter tainments, usually closing} course of instruon in vocal music, are a markod feature of the t ies. In the Saengerfest of the Children recently held at the Presbyterian Church in this village, the Public wore enabled to see what skillful training can be made to accomplish. The credit for this decided success is duo to the efforts of Miss Todd, who conceived the idea of making the musical talent of the children available for church and Sabbath School purposes. We congratulate her upon having aohieved a.decided success. A PIIENOISI.ENON.—We give the fol lowing as we received it, and regard it as perfectly reliable: On the evening following that of the great hail-storm noted last weak, Mr. S. M. Gros jean, of Delmar, while on a hill on his farm, stepped upon a light colored substance which broke under hie feet. Stooping down ho found that he bad slipped upon a sheet of ice, ft frag ment of which a foot and a half square, and three inches thick in its thickest part, he carried to the house. Masses of ice larger than this have fallen during a storm of hail, according to the best authorities, but nothing of the kind has been seen before in this country. On Pine Creek the hail fell in lumps an inch in diameter, and within a mile of the Court house it was large enough to knock shingles from roofs. Whole fields of wheat Were utterly destroyed, and many pieces of corn were riddled. FATAL MISTAKE.— The Corning Jour tin/ has an account of the death by poison ac cidentally taken, of Mr. Henry Kirkland, of Blossburg. It seems that Mr. Kirkland had been taking llostetter's Bitters for dyspepsia, and on the 19th ult., before sitting down to breakfast thought he would take some of the bitters. Not finding the bottle in its usual place, he took a similar bottle from another shelf, and supposing it to be what hp sought was about to drink from it, when a little daughter told him that it was poison. He smelled of it thought it all right, and drank a swallow, when he discovered his mis take. It was a preparation of corrosive subli• mate; and though ho drank sonaemilk at once, and the doctor, being sent foir',- gave him the whites of eggs, it was of no avail. He died a week later. Mr. Kirkland was a worthy man and highly respected. A BAD HITCH.—The quarrel between the P. 0. Department and the Tioga Railroad Company is an uncomfortable quarrel for the pub lic.- The difficulty, as we learn of it, is this: The Railroad Company demandg $ll per day compensation for carrying the mails from Corning to Fall Brook.. The P. 0. Department refuses to pay it. The R. R. Co., notified the Department on the 15th of June that it would cease to carry the mails after July 1, unless the price was paid. The Department refused to pay the sum demand ed, and the Company, unwilling to discommode 'the public, carried the mails up to Aug. 1. Since that time this region has had but one outlet of communication by Mail with the outer world— via Troy. We do not pretend to know who's to be blamed for this miserable ' , hitch in the mail service,' discommoding a population of not less than 20,000 people. But this state of affairs ought not to be long tolerated. We can assure the Department that Tioga County supports her portion of the mail service and pays a profit into the Treasury. The public wants to know what's the matter. Are we to bare a mail by rail, or not ? If not, why not? A CURIOUS ENTERPRISE.—,A bout thir ty years ago a Mr. Jabin Stone, of-IMiddlebury, a very ingenious man, conceived the idea of providing an entertainment for the public in the naturo of a naval engagement. He built two three-maeted vessels, each 26 feet long and eight feet wide, rigged and fitted out complete. Ile had small cannon on regular trucks, and a crew of puppets operated by wires, and managed by men below decks. To construct theso machines he used all his own means and borrowed of such friends as had faith in the speculation. Ile then bought a largo lot of factory cloth for a tent, and got all the women to help sew it together. All being completed one of the ships was loaded on a trunk made for the purpose, and with a crowd of fifty people taken to Tiogn. Both vessels having been carried to the river they were launched, and l i the tent stret . ed around them. To this enter -tainment the üblic was admitted on payment of a quarter a bd. Judge Bentley, who was a spectator of the fight and gives us this statement of the affair, says that the loading and firing and the maneuvering of the vessels was capital. The puppets were worked by the man below decks most admirably. Some of them were placed in the rigging, and were detached occasionally, and fell to the decks like dead men. The enterprise , must have been novel and risky, but displayed the genius - DJ - the originator in a wonderful man ner. The slitow did not pay, and the vessels went down the tiller as curiosities. Many of the oldest citizens of Middlebury will doubtless recollect the affair. • Gossip.—ln this fastest of fast ages the outlook for the rising generation is sometimes cut off by dubious mists. We shall be laughed at as on old grumbler, and a fogy, when we say that boys and girls were older in actions this year of grace 1868, than they were twenty years ago. But it's true boys, and girls, laugh as you may. The pretended caricatures in the illuitrated papers putting the airs of grown-up people upon boys and Misses of a dozen years, are not all car icatures after all. It was not common for boys of sixteen to court girls of thirteen twenty years ago; it was not common for boys of sixteen .to ape the manners of twenty-five so long ago as that. The, whole system of breeding up the the young appears to have taken on a viciousness in these latter days, anti we sometimes get alarmed for the children. No good farmer would think of turning off his calves at six -weeks old to shift for themselves; yet &calf at six weeks is as old in its race of life as a borpf twelve years is in his race. However, many boys of twelve are suffered to shift for themselves; anti it is not nn unusual thing to'hear men say—"lot them shift for themselves; they must learn - the ways of the world." The man who inquires how it is that so many young men are in prisons and penitentia ries nowadays will find his sufficient answer in the fact that-boys aro turned loose from parental care a world too early. Hovi - many mothers can toll the frequenting of their boys after night ? How many can say that they have full confidence in their boys ? just at the impressionable age, when thii whole character of the man is taking on shape and substance, the boy is being shaped by influences almost always adveise to tbo de velopment of a true manhood. It does not follow that meu.purpoliely deform the characters of the young who come -within their influence. But "evil communications corrupt good manners." Boys unconseiMiSly-intitato the questionable in manners and morals. It never well, therefore, to turn boys loose upon the streets, to be cor rupted by-coil conversation and example. The mother's influeliacrit of all ; and no boy can afford to he motherless with-a living mother. —And now a word to tllo boys themselves. The snares aro many and your feet are often not unwilling. There is the boy who drinks beer— • Veep away from him. There's the boy who swears—avoid him, There is the boy who steals melons, or apples—give him a wide berth. And worst. of all, boys, there's the girl who fastens upon you and takes the lead in everything; who invites you to meet her at public gatherings, and insists upon being your "bright particular star" on all occasions ; who will stick to you so long as you will buy her rings, pins, ice-cream, candy, &c., and if nothing worse happens than loss of time and cash, will then fasten to some other greenhorn who has more cash than you have. Stutter away from Suck girls. • They aro triflers, who lure to rain. And boys—never forget your Mothers and sisters when you are approached by such girls ; Keep ever in mind your mother and your sisters, if you have any, and you must be pretty far gone if any trifler makes a fool of:you. —lt may prove advantagous to men, women, and children, to remember that bet, dry days and cool damp nights aro not favorable to health. We are having that sort of weather nowadays. Children should wear flannel, covering the whole body, to determine the blood to the surface. They should be brought indoors at six in the evening. Adults should put on more clothing if out of doors after night. Take plenty of fresh air into your sleeping rooms; but take it from the upper Window, as far above the ground as you can get it. For the reason why you have only to stop out of doors one 'of these damp nights and notice how everything in, a state of decay distributes its mephitic gases throughout -the atmosphere. These noxious gases seldom ilea much above six fed above the ground. :. COUNCIL OF RECOGNITION. Ptlr silent to notice en invitation from the Baptist Society of Welleboro, a Council of Recognition assembled in the Court House, Wednesday, 29th ult., at 2 o'clock P. M., in which the following named churches were represented by delegates : Bloss, Charleston, Covington, Delmar, Rust Charleston, Cherry Plaits, Mansfield, Sullivan, Middlebury, Tioga, and Wellsboro. The ,Council organized by electing Rev. A. B. Chase, moderator, and Hon.- B. T. Bentley, Clerk. A statement of the condition cif the Wellsburo Church,, touching Covenarit, Rules of Faith and practice, &e., was made by Rev. Si'. A. Smith, Pastor. The Council having declared itself satisfied, voted to proceed to recognize the Wellsboro Church as a regular - Baptist Church; and, on motion, a Committee of five was appointed to make the necessary arran,gements. Revs. J. W. Henry, W. A Smith, and Messrs. L. H. Shattuck, G. P. Card and_r. C. Van Gelder, wore appointed such committee, and reported the following order of business R i ading of the Scriptures — lsaiah 40—by Rev. J. 1 . Henry. Prayer—by Rev. Mr. Omens. Sermon—by Rev. J. J. Kyez, of Elmira, from Psalms 87: 3. Hand of Fellowship—Rev. A. 13. Chase. Charge to the Church—Rev. N. L. Reynolds The proceedings were deeply interesting, and the attendance large. The Recognition Sermon, by Rev. Mr. Kycs, was worthy of the high en comiums awarded it by everybody. It was a massive arguthent, in which grace of diction and consecutive reasoning were happily blended, delivered impressively. Altogether, a .crmo not likely to be heard oftener than once in a twelvemonth. Rev. N. L. Reynolds preached an able sermo in the evening. The new organization is fairly launched an commences its career under favorable auspices. CORNER-STONE LA:VT:NO.—The Cor ner Stone of the new M. E. Church edifice will be laid with appropriate ceremonies on Wednes day August sth at 2 o'clock P. At. Addresses will be deliverdti by Rev D. W, C. Huntington, D. D., of Rochester, Rev. Dr. Lore of Auburn, and others. - I The occasion will doubtless prove exceedingly interesting. THIRTY SEVEN YEARS AGO.—Vil lages and counties may not change in a term of forty years as markedly as men and women; but they change, nevertheless, and sometimes considerably for the betterf which fact we aro reminded by an examination of a copy of The Phenix, a paper published by Mr. B. B. Smith, in this village, thirty or forty years ago. R. C. Simpson, DN., has" banded as a copy dated Sept. 17, 1831, the perdsal of which is interesting. It is a sheet of 20 columns, about one-third as large as The Agitator, and devoted to the advo cacy of "Democratic Republican" principles. It has a column of foreign news forty-four days old, announcing a great victory by the Poles over the Russiaiii - C - , and the havoc made-by the cholera in St. Petersburg. We now _get news from any part of Europe in a few seconds of time. The resignation of Seth Daggett, Esq., Sheriff, is an nounced under the editorial bead, and the Election proclamation is else Where published over the mane of "Henry W. Stoddard, Coroner." Tioga and, Bradford were then in the came Assembly district, and Messrs. Jobe ) Beecher, of Tioga, and John Laporte, of Bradford, were can didatel-onithe "Dem. Rep.," ticket. In a lung and well written letter the practicability of a railroad via Pino Creek, connecting the West Branch Calnal at Jersey Shore with the New York Canals, is set forth. Following this is the report of a Railroad meeting held at the house of E. B. Gerould, Covington, Sept. 13. 1831, to take into consideration the means of forluing•ft connection between the coal beds of Tioga county and the Chemung canal. At this meeting Gen. Thomas Putnam presided, assisted by Asa Mann and William- Willard, Jr. John A. Knapp, and Dr. T. T. Huston were secretaries. Chimney Morgan, John Gray, and Aaron Blocs were ap pointed to draft and address expressive of the sense of the meeting. The address states the necessity of completing the road from Boss to the State line. A committee was appointed to confer with the citizens of Elmira on the sub ject of a road from Tioga to that place. The meeting adjourned to meet at IV( ilftboro on the 21st of September, and Messrs. S. W. Morrii, H. B. Graves, and John Gray, were appointed to raise funds to pay fur surveying the route from Blossburg to the state line. The business dope' in Wellsbuto at that time was not much, Judging by the advertising columns of the paper. "Caldwell & Donaldson," were trading at the "Yellow Slone," James was offering a stock of goods' at cost, and William Bache offered a stock of hardware, BootA and shoes. J. B. Murphey gives notice that all persons indebted to him must pay' up before October, or settle with James Lowrey, R. G. White, and N. 11. Purple, Ergs. C. A. Densler Ores notice that the "Town called Dornstadt," in Blockhouse Settlement," is nos ready for purchasers." Ebenezer Ferry, I naut e Smith, David Sloat, Jireab S. Smith, Ira Cady, John Beni, Peter Combs, and Elijah Falter, apply for the benefit of the insolvent laws, Bat the most amusing of all is the Boropgh Statement for the year ending Juno 30, 1831, James Lowrey, Treasurer. The whole amount of tax and lines was $74. 05/; against which Mr. LoWrey presents vouches for $713.13, and receives an order for tho balance of $2.0.3. .1, B. Murphey, was BurgOss, ante S. W. Morris Clerk, pro tem. FATAL ACCIDNET.:—Dr. J. E. Cleve land, of Union, writes us under date of July 30, as follows: "We have to record the death of. Mr. Roderick Barnes, son of Albert Barnes, o: Gran ville, Bradford county, Pa., which took place on the 2fith inst., resulting from a careless handling of lire-arum.
