The postoffiee has been remoddled and im proved. The new arrangement affords more room for doing the work, and will be more convenient for patrons of the office. I)r. KLLBUOUN, of Franklindale, last week successfuly removed from a nine years old boy of JOHN LANTZ, a tape-woam measuring 32 feet. The patient, as might be expected, feels better. We are in receipt of number 2 of the Oweyo Weekly Blade , published by MCCORMMICK and YOUNG. It is a neatlviprintcd, ably edited and spicy sheet, just what we expected from Mr. MCCORMMICK, who is one of the best printers in this country, and a ready writer as well. In politics the paper is radical Re publican. To-day is the last day of prayer, and the following is the subject: Saturday. January 10 —Prayer for home and foreign missions; for the outpouring of the Spirit upon all tlcsh, and the conversion of the world. The statement in yesterday's REVIEW that 11. A. COWL EN had bought the bakery depart ment of I). W. SCOTT & Co., and removed it to his store, was, we are informed by D. W. SCOTT & Co., erronous, and calculated to mislead. They have not sold any part of their business, hut have arranged with Mr. CowLEH to do the baking all together, at his place for the present, with their old baker, CIIARI.ES MUNIER, in charge of the shop. We yesterday printed the marriage notice of Mr. CLARK and Miss COWI.ES. The wed ding, although quiet, was a pleasant affair. The supper was bountiful and heartily relish ed by the guests. The bride was the recipi ent of a handsome gold watch and chain, set of silverware, and many other useful articles. The fortnate groom is an adopted son of our industrious and esteemed townsman, DENNIS CLAEK. and is a good mechanic. The newly wedded pair very sensibly dispensed with an expensive bridal tour, and repaired at once to their own house, which had b< en made ready for them as soon the festivities of the evening was over. We extend our hearty congratu lations, coupled with the sincere wish that their married life may be long, prosperous and happy. Personal. How to procure the "staff of life" is a prob i lem with the many thousands who are j out of employment. The staff which supports | the tottering steps of old age, and serves as a weapon of defense in the hands of the young and vigorous man, as a toy and plaything for the dandy and fop. is more easily secured, especially when one has such a thoughtful friend as J. V. GKIGF.K. For the neatlv pol ished hickory walking-stick just received from him, the "Boss" has our thanks. We are pained to learn that IIIRAM TAY i.on, who removed from this place to Cawker City is suffering from very poor health. The Terpsichore Club were the guests of Miss SAKAII MOODY last evening, and were very handsomely entertained by that young lady and her mother. It was an occasion | which all present will long remember with j pleasure. C. E. ANDRUS ha taken the place in KENT'S | store occupied by Mr. IIERKICK.

In lecturing the "gang" brought before him from the "cooler" the other morning, Uncle CIIKT delivered himself in this wise, aecord j ing to the State Journal : "The Judge arose from his scat and cast a wild glaring look over the silent audience, and drew a deep heaving sigh, like unto a person whose mind ! was laboring under ah avy weight of sorrow and misfortune. A few moments meditation j and he began to speak. His words fell with • almost unbearable force upon the heads of tbo-c unhanpv creatures, whose fiendish ap ! petites and uncontrollable spirits had brought them there, and they shuddered with shame and misery. His Honor spoke about as fol lows: 'lt pains my heart and bleeds my ten der feelings to witness what is now before me. As I look through the windows of this room and sec the thick mist clinging to ! the panes and flouting by through the dull atmosphere, I amost consider myself duty hound to talk in a manner which might rather shake the human sympathies of you wretched men, than condemn you for your sad and de plorable condition. We all have our sad days, but I never could contemplate why a man. even though he was not from Bradford county, should drag himself down into a cess pool of sin and ruin. Why is it you will con tinue to live in such inhuman and disgusting conditions. I think it would be better to hrace up, and not take so much at once as to get yourself in here.'" Superintendent's Notes. January Bth and 9th.—Visited the follow ing schools: Wells, Moshierville, Win. l'ink ney; Rowley Hill, Nellie Axtell; Baker, Mary Burke; Aspinwall. Eva Searles; Whor tendyke, Win. McGovern. The patrons of these schools express them selves as much pleased. Directors G. K. Newman, Ainmon Warner, DunningKilgore, James Slocum, and Humphery Wilson, ac companied to their respective schools mani festing much interest in the success of their schools and expresing general satisfaction with present teachers. The Odd Fellows of Canton, have just com pleted their new hall, which is thus described bv the Canton Sentinel of this week : "The hall is fifty feet in length by twenty-three in width. The whole room used by the Lodge, however, is seventy feet in length by twenty in breadth. As the visitor walks up the broad and easv assent of the stairway, he enters a neatly furnished reception room, well lighted, where a cosy little fire is burn ing. An ante-room breaks off the direct ad mittance to the hall. Off to the left of the ante-room arc a lot of little rooms, where, we suppose, all the mysterious appliances of the Order are kept, and it must he here that the goat remains in his solitude, making up for its enforced inactivity by the vigor and hearty good-will which it shows in the initiatory rites. Five hundred dollars, in round numbers, have been expended in furnishing the hall, and those who were in charge have used the money with such excellent judgment, that it is difficult to select a single instance \yhere improvement could be made. The carpet is of a beat)fill though modest, color, ornament ed with a pattern of ferns. Two large hand some chandeliers light up the hall so brilliant ly that one can read fine print in the darkest corner. These chandeliers were the generous gift of Mrs. J. W. GRIFFIN. At intervals about the room are stationed pedestals of solid black walnut, with marble tops. At one end of the hall are the desks used by the Secretary and Treasurer; these also are of finely finished black walnut. The officers chairs we can best describe by the name "pulpit'' chairs —they are very high to their backs, and arc richly upholstered in red and blue. The shutters open on the inside of the windows; the rails arc of ash. while the pannels and slats are of cherry. Various pictures ornament the walls, among them is an excellent likeness of .JOHN W. GRIFFIN, who was a prominent member of the Lodge, and a large oil painting given to the Lodge by an artist named PKKKINH, long ago a resident of this place and a member of the Order. The painting shows two infants in a mother's arms, and is in part emblematical of the mis sion of the Order—to care for the widow and orphan.'' WANTS. Under thin head we will insert FREE, notices of situations or help fronted. Mrs CURTTAN, on street 'west of FROST'S Furniture factorv, would like work at plain sewing, tailoring, carpet making, or washing and ironing.

SMITH BROS. i Towanda, Dec. 2fi, ISTit. iar IMPORTANT TO SCHOOL DIREC TORS AND TAX PAYERS—The fol lowing decision of the Superintendent of Public Instruction is of great importance to tax-payers as well as directors, as violation ; of the law upon the subject will deprive di - triets of the State appropriation, and subject Directors to severe penalties: DEPARTMENT OF Pun. INN., I Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 1. 187b. j There is but 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 28, Act of Mt y 1.1854, says: j" That immediately after the annual election of teachers in each school district of the state, and before the opening of the schools fo- the j ensuing term, there shall be a meeting of the J directors or controllers and teachers of each district; at which meeting the directors or ! controllers shall decide upon a series of school books, in the different branches to be taught ; during the ensuing sche'M year; which books, j and no other, shall be used in the schools of i the district during said period." Such is the law, with this exception, that | books cannot now be changed more frequent i ly than once in three years. J. P. WICKERSHAM, Superintendent Public Instruction.
