The Daily Review. Towanda, Pa., Wedensday, Jan., 2s, 1880. KDITORB : 8. W. ALVORD. NOBLE N*. ALVORD. ** Mtaily Reviemr" mniy Sift cent* per MHM, Wry it. Jos. JUL. BBKBE, former teller of Citizens National Bank, paid us a flying visit last evening. The bell at the Gatbolie Church is under going repairs, and will not be rung for a few days. Mr. SMITH will lecture on temperance again at the Baptist Church this evening. Let him have a full house. Miss LOTTA KEELK lias returned home, after a two weeks visit at Elmira and Che mung, N. Y. We are informed that J. I'. KIRBY contem plates the erection of a brick block to contain two stores and an opera house, just south of | the Means House lot. If the attendance at the Lin-Ta Reception,; to-morrow evening, is at all commesurute j with the effort being put forth by the com mittee, the entertainment will be a grand j success. CHARLIE ROSE, who was at one time a clerk j in POWELL & Co.'s, died in Honolulu, Sand- j wit h Islands, on the first of December. Mr. ROSE was a very popular young man while a resident of this place, and his many friends j will mourn his death. Mrs. D IANAH L. Mix, whose death was j announced yesterday, was born in IS 10, in i Onondaga county, New York. She was mar ried to HARRY MIX in lHStf, and has since resided in this place. She was one of the oldest members of the M. E. Church, and was one of seven who made up the first class of Methodists in Towands. Her life afforded a bright example of the influence of the Chris tian religion, and the churcii with which she had so long worshiped will feel her loss, while the cause of religion has lost one of its most earnest, faithful, consistent and efficient advocates and workers. Though she will no more mingle with the people of God here, the beautiful influence of her holy life will long cause her to be remembered by all true worshipers. The funeral will take place from the family residence, on Main street, to-morrow after-J noon, at 2 :i0 o'clock. The Nail Works well is at last completed,! and the pump is being put in position to-day. Plenty of water has been obtained, notwith standing the prophesies of croakers that it; was only a waste of time and money to make \ the experiment. The experienced and practic-! tl proprietors, BOSTLKY & Co., however seem j to have understood what they were doing, I and their faith has been rewarded. We had ' the pleasure of being lowered to the bottom | of the opening this morning, through the courtesy of Mr. BOSTLKY. The walls are of j solid rock; the well is about 11 feet iu diamc-1 ter at the top. and some 1(5 feet at the bottom. I The water gurgles up from the bottom and j trickles down the sides in a perfect shower, with some of the larger vein plugged up the j flow reaches about 1200 gallons per hour, | which is raised to the top by horse-power. The statement in our yesterday's personals j concerning the departure of Col. MASON*. U. j S. A., was partially erroneous. Col. MASON j has been stationed for a year past in command | of Fort Fetterman. Wyoming Territory. His! leave of absence (extending three months, and dating about the first instant), had not yet expired, when he received a telegram from General CROOK, commanding the do* I partment. requesting hint to temporarily sus-i pend his leave an<l proceed to take charge of j the construction of certain bridges on the i route for supplies from Rawlins station, W. , T., on the Union l'acitio to reach the troops ' moved from different points on the frontier ! after the fatal engagement of Maj. Thorn burg last fall. The route extends across the ; White, Bear, Little Snake, and the North | Fork of the I'latte river, and other streams. I The completion of these bridges before the spring floods is of great moment iu maintain-1 ing a communication with the base of supplies | for the advanced detachment, now in the Ute country. The selection of Col. MASON to carry forward the construction of these bridg es—a work of difficulty* and requiring equal energy and engineering skill—is flattering testimony to thai officer's standing in the service. SCRIDXKR FOR FKIJIU AUY.— The midwin- j ter (February) Scribner (of which 12"),000 copies have been printed, fo supply the grow ing demand in England and America), is as ■ i unique in points as in the size of the edition. The most prominent feature, perhaps, is the paper on Edison's Electric Light, by his mathematician, Mr. Francis It. Upton, which is endorsed as the "first correct and authora tivc" account in a letter from Mr. Edison, printed in fact-simile, in this issue of Scrib- | ner. The inventor has been so often and so i greatly misrepresented as holding theories most opposite to his own, that it will be of interest to set; just what he is willing to put himself on record as claiming for the new ! invention. Fifteen dr. wings accompany the paper, including one of the lamp at its exact j size. The first of Mr. Eugene Schuyler's illustrat ed papers, on the life of lVter the Great,! given in this number, covers a wide range of interest, placing a most, fascinating historical era clearly before the reader. In his preface, Mr. Schuyler offers to reply to any question respecting tin; topics he may treat. Incident ally, tins series will shed much light on con-, temporary Russia, and, in the illustrations, will exhibit some of the best pictoral art of I the Empire, past and present. The first in. stallment contains some remarkable cuts. The frontispiece is the one of the 400 portraits ; of Peter which was best liked by himself. Mrs. Burnett's new story, in four parts,. entitled "Louisiana,'' is also begun in this number. The scene is laid in the North Caro lina mountains, the characters being chiefly some "literary people" from New York, and j the ingenuous young lady from whom the story takes its name. The father, Mr. Rogers, who appears in the second part, is said to be \ as good a piece of character drawing as Sam- j my Craddock, in "That Lass o' Lowries," or I Briarley, in "Haworth's." He frankly con fesses his inability to write novels: "The | scenes on 'em all, now, bein' mostly laid in Bagdad, would be agin me, if liothiu' else war." Mr. Gable's "Grandissimes" is full of action and character, and continues to reveal a strong basis for the high claims which are j made for it. As an expression of Creole j life, in the beginning of the century, it seems j likely to go at once into the common fund of t historical novels. Two suggestive essays, for more than trail-, sient value, on topics now occupying much i attentention, are "Present Phases of Sunday | School Work," by Rev. Edward Eggleston, and "The Political Outlook," by an anouy- i mous writer. Apropos of the Rakes Centen- j ary, Mr. Eggleston makes a number of keen,; but friendly criticisms upon popular methods j of conducting Sunday School work. The | writer on polities gives business reasons for j j thinking that the next Presidential election!: will be a dangerous one, and suggestions : . looking toward the lessening of the peril. < A biographical sketch of John Bright is 1 made timely by his recent speech on America, and by the revival of practical interest in ' Great Britain. # • A rolicking holiday paper on Bicycling, is , contributed by Mr. Charles E. Pratt, of Bos ton, under the caption, "A Wheel around the ' Hub." It relates the adventures of a party of forty riders, during a two days run of one | hundred miles, in tin- vicinity of Boston. The ! drawings in this picture are unique, and full 1 of "go." Country subjects arc not forgotten; in fact there arc contributions on this class of topics by three practical farmers: "Notes of a Walker," by John Burroughs, "New England Fences'' (illustrah d). by Rowland G. Robin-, son, and "A Southern Strawberry Farm"! (illustrated), by Rev. E. P. Roe, being the \ fourth of his series on "Success with Small j Fruits," the remaining two to be devoted to raspberries,gooseberries, currants and black berries. Mr. Boy sen contributes a short story of Norway and Chicago, entitled "A Knight of Danncbrog." A poem by Charles tie Kay, entitled "Boozy Little But," is illustrated by Kappes, and there are others by W. O. Wilkinson, Marie Mason, Laura Winthrop Johnson and R. W. Gilder. In "Topic* of the Tunc." Dr. Holland says "A Word on Polities" (favoring Civil Service Reform), and discusses "Temperance Educa tion" and "Familiarity." A "Communication from "It. W. (Jdiscusses the proposed but now abondoned "Restoration of St. Mark's." The reviews include books of poetry, travel, art. biography, country life and lexicography. Other subjects treated are "Roasting," "New Fruit Press," Flour from Chest nuts," "Bridge building." "The Audiphonc." "The Steering Screw," "Mechanical Extraction of Cream," ■ I "Novel Photo-Printing Press," "Simple Elec i trieal Signal," and "Glass Sleepers." Among • the contributions to the "Bric-a-Bae," are a ; i keen piece of satire, called "An American , | Sketch," a sonnet l>y Mr. 11. (.'. Bunner, and 11 a humorous piece by the late Irwin Russell, 11 entitled "The Polyphono." Others of Mr. ' Russell's pieces, serious and humorous, are soon to appear in this department. Altogether this number of Scrifrner i> one j of great variety and interest. The March ScHbncr will contain the long loo ked-f or paper on "The Tile Club Afloat," 'j which is said to he even better, both in text | and pictures, than "The Tile Club at Play," which was acknowledged to be the "magazine hit" of the last season.
