The sociable at the house of HENRY KINGS

being sunk inside the building.

We have received through the agent, L. T.
ROYSE, a copy of HEADLEY'S "Life and
Travels of General GRANT.'' It is a neatly
printed, well bound book, and we have no
doubt the contents are interesting.
Mr. and Mrs. (>. A. BLACK are sorely af

Membranous croup caused his death yester

It is said that a clove dropped into ink will
preserve it from moulding and that essential
oil will answer the same purpose. Russia
leather which is perfumed with the tar of
birch rarely becomes mouldy. A few drops
of any essential oil will preserve leather from
mould.

Personal.
Miss CORA KEEPER, of Keelersburg, Wy
oming county, is spending a few days with
her relatives, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. NOBLE, of
this place.
11. It. ROCKWELL has sold his residence on
2d street to C. F< PAYTON. Mr. Jt. has rent
ed a portion of Mrs. PEET'S house.
G. 11. WOOD has sold his photograph gal
lery to R. R. ROCKWELL, who will associate
with him Mr. DAYTON, the artist.
Mrs. WILLIAM MADDEN, of Minnesota, is
visiting hei father, PATRICK MCCCE, in this
place.
Maj. GORE, of Sheshequin, is visiting In
town to-day.
S. F. COLT, jr., of Dushore, favored us with
a call this morning and renewed his subscrip
tion to the REVIEW. Call again, SAM.
J. S. TOME, G. 11. TOME and J. S. WATSON,
West Branch stockholders in the Bridge Co.
are in town to participate in the meeting of
the stockholders this afternoon.
A. E. CRATER and wife who went to Tex.
as last spring have returned lo this place, the
climate of the Lone Star state proving detri
mental to Mrs. C.'s health. They are wel
comed back by many friends.
Legal business at Athens must be good. < Mir
young friend ARTII T'R HEAD has just taken to
himself a help-meet. The bride was Miss
FRINK, of Montrose, a daughter of the gentle
man who built the jail, and is said to lie a
sensible girl of line accomplishments.
Mr. COLE, the batehelor house-keeper of
the First Ward, entertained his pastor at tea
the other evening. Mr. C. performs all the
household duties without the aid of female
hands, and we are informed keeps his apart
ments in the best of order, and prepares his
meals with as much taste and skill as the most
accomplished French culinary artist; and
yet the good Book says "it is not good for
man to be alona."
Mr. GEORGE 11 ILL. of Burlington, Pa.,'
is visiting his son. Mr..). S. llll.L,Carroll St.,
of this city, lie is on his way to Lake La
Moka, near Weston, Schuyler county, where
he expects to pass a week or more in fishing.
Mr. 11 ILL, in spite of his seventy-two years,
is as vigorous in his movements and as youth
ful in his longings for out-door sports and ap
preciation of them as a youngster of twenty
live. As a hunter and fisherman—in all the
physical activities and acquirements suggest
ed by those terms —he is as sound as a strip
ling of one-fourth his years, lie is one of
those fishermen, who, wedded to the sport,
lind excitement in tishing a whole day with
out a bite. Mr. Ilil.L wears the same hat
now that he wore on his wedding day, forty
seven years , ago, and carries the same gun
which he brought from < ouueeticut forty
years ago. — Ehnira Free I'reus.
It sounds a little funny to say that dressed
beef is sent from New York to this market,
but such is the fact. We were shown by Mr.
RUNDELL, of the market under the UKYIKW
office, last evening, several quarters of Wes
tern steers, which make our Bradford county
beef look decidedly thin. Mr. it. informs us
that the quarters are the very best to be had
in the New York market, and those of our
readers who relish a juicy steak, or a fat
roast, should call and supply themselves be
fore it is all gone.

A pretty and easily grown window plant
| may be obtainted in the following manner:
I Soak a round piece ot coarse sponge in warm
water until it is thoroughly expanded. After
squeezing it about half dry, place in the open
ings millet, red clover and barley-grass seeds,
rice and oats. Hang the sponge in a window
where the sun shines a part of the day, and
sprinkle it lightly u ith water every morning
for a week. Soon tender leaves will shoot
out, and, growing rapidly, will forma droop
ing mass of living green. If regularly
sprinkled, It will later he dotted with the j
blossoms of the clover.
To fry fresh fi*h so as ir to absorb the J
fat, or destroy the delicate flavor of the fish, ;
jis quite a desideratum. A lady who lias at
tended Miss Corson's Practical Cooking Lec
tures, contributes the following to the Amer
ican Agriculturist —derived partly from Miss
C.'s advice, and partly from her own cxperi-
I ence: Small fish are to be fried whole; large ;
fish have the fleshy portions cut oft'with a j
very sharp knife, and divided into strips
(fillets) of a convenint si/e for serving, j
When cleaned and ready for cooking, wipe
dry, and roll them in powdered cracker or
bread crumbs. (Cracker, ready pulverized, I
is now sold at most grocerv stores, under the
name of "cracker-dust.'') Dip the fish, or
pieces, in well-beaten egg, and again roll
! them in the cracker-dust or crumbs, removing j
j anv lumps, so as 1o have I he surface smooth, i
Have the fa hot, and drop in the pieces, j
; watching them car fully until they cook to a j
golden brown; then lift from the fat and lay!
upon thick paper to absorb the fat. Fillets
of fish with the bones in, may be treated in j
j the same way. Bv this method the fish are |
well flavored, and much more digestible for
' weak stomachs. Fish are nourishing, and
1 not onl.v supply good food for the muscles,
but also furnish good brain material.

There is hut one time in the year when di
rectors can adopt a new series of text books
for the schools under their charge, or change
old ones, and that is between the time of
electing teachers and the opening of the
schools. Section 23, Act of M: y 1,1854, says:
"That immediately after the annual election
of teachers in each school district of the state,
and before the opening of tlie schools for the
ensuing term, there shall he a meeting of the
directors or controllers and teachers of each
i district; at which meeting the directors or
controllers shall decide upon a series of school
books, in the different branches to in* taught
during the ensuing school year; which books,
and no other, shall he used in the schools of
the district during said period."'
Such is the law, with this exception, that
books cannot now he changed more frequent-
I lv than once in three years.
