DAILY TOWANDA REVIEW. VOLUME I, NO. 155. TOWANDA, PA., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 10, 1880. PRICE ONE CENT The News Condensed. In the boat race between Elliott and Boyd, yesterday, for £2OO a side, on the Tyne course, Boyd was the winner by four lengths. James W. Clayton, Minute and Journal Clerk of the United Slates Senate, died at Baltimore yesterday. The Supreme Court has atlirnied the decree of the Criminal Court in the case of Israel Brandt and .Tosiah Hummel, con victed in August last of the murder of the old man, Joseph Ruber, to obtain his life insurance. Lewis Rockwell, of Bike county, yester day celebrated his one hundred and second birthday. His wife, who died about a year ago. had she lived, would to-day have been ninety-nine. Mr. Rockwell is probably the oldest man in ibis State. The will of Miss Amy Sprague, a rel ative of ex-Governor Sprague of Rhode Island, is to be contested, and as property to the amount of 8200,000 is involved the local lawyers will probably have their hands full for some time to come. Ex-Secretary Borie died a peaceful and painless death. He suffered from no dis ease that could be checked—it was simply a gradual wasting away from lack of vi tality. His last quiet words were ad dressed to his wife, who sat beside him. Mr. Roswell Smith told a newspaper correspondent the other day that the ed itors of ficribnrr's Magazine have on hand manuscripts for which #15,172,55 have been paid, and the editors of St. Nicholas manuscripts for which $8.5+5 have been paid. Major Reno lia\ i ntr learned of the approval of the sentence of the court, martial dismissing him from the service, has telegraphed to the President lo be allowed to resign. The President has this request under consideration, and and the orders of the War Department in Reno's case are delayed for the decision. The sub-committee of tbe House Jud iciary Committee, consisting of Ryan, Hammond and McKinley, gave' a hearing to delegations representing commercial interests in New York and Boston in advocacy of the passage of some national measure aticcting bankruptcy which would be exempt from the objectionable features of the old law. The Enquirer's Washington special says it is rumored that serious differences exist between the President and Secre tary Evarts on the matter of our affairs in the Isthmus. It is not improbable that Evarts will leave the cabinet. The Presi dent takes the most advanced ground on maintaining American control in that quarter and says he will have no "back capping" in his cabinet. The following, relative to Grant's po sition, will appear editorially in to-days' Times: "A near personal and political friend of ex-President Grant, who doubt less knows whereof he speaks, authorizes the following as a correct statement of the General's position with reference to the Presidency. He says: "General Grant is not now nor has he ever been a candidate for the Presidential nomination; but should the Republican Convention nominate him in the same manner as any other candidate would be nominated lie would deem it his duty to his country and party to accept. Travelling abroad he was a stranger f o the contest now going on tor the Presidential nomination, and has written no letter on the subject to any person, and all assertions to the contrary, are without foundation in fact."

P"OR THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR. '• THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS PAPER." THE NEW YORK TRI BUNE FOR l*Ho. During the coming Presidential year The Tribune will be a more effective agency than ever for telling the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing sound politics. From the day the war closed it ha* been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. But it saw two years ago, and was the tirst persist ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country from the revived alliance of the Solid South and Tammany Hail. Against that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Union It began by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy; and tor the heartiest agreement upon whatever tit candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has been turned buck; every doubtful slate has been wnn, and the omens for National victory were never more cheeriug. THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION. I Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak most enthusiastically who have seen most of the j struggle. It will faithfully portray the varning j phases of the campaign now beginning. Jt will | earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union l and Public Faith may select the man surest to win, and surest to make a good President. But in this crisis It can conceive of no nomination this party could make that would not be preferable to the best that could possibly be supported by the Solid South and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much labo and money than ever before to hold tho distinction it has enjoyed of the largest circulation among the l/tvt | people. It secured, and means to retain it by be coming the medium of the beet thought and the v oice of the bent conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freees discussions, hearing all sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju dices of the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The disLincfttv features of The Tribune are known to everybody. It gives all the news, it has the best correspondents, and retains them from year to year, It is the only paper that maintaius a special telegraphic wire of its own between its office and Washington, its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is tlie fullest. Its book reviews are the best. Its commercial and financial lie's is tile most exact its type is the largest; and us ar rangement the most systematic. Til K HEM I WEEKLY TBI RUN i is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the j country, having four times the circulation of anv ] other in New York. It is especially adapted to the i large class of intelligent, professional or business I readers too far from New York to depend on our papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scieti ; title matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly i it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form for binding, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country 1 population, and lias the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the office of a Daily paper in New \ ork, or, so far an we know, in the United States. It revises and condenses all tin; news of the week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de partincnt. is more carefully conducted than ever, and it has always been considered the best, its market reports arc the oliicial standard for the Dairymen's Association, and have long been recognized author itv ou cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and for household interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, liction and the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied. The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who have returned to it during thu past year is that they find it better than ever.
