Ilowarth's Hihernica, which visited this place some time since, and was favorably re ceived, are to appear at Mcrcur Ilall on Fri day and Saturday evenings, with a matinee on Saturday afternoon. Athens was largely represented in Towanda by her influential property holders yesterday. They came dewn to confer with the Commis sioners relative to tbc assessment of that ancient borough, and went home satisfied. The following item from the Ithaca daily Journal in regard to our old friend and former townsman will be read with satis faction by all our readers who have the honor to know the Colonel: "Col. J. 11. llorton has had added to his duties and responsibilities the general agency of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company for a huge portion of central New York. The Col. will not remove from town, but will be neces sarily absent more than heretofore. He still remains in charge of the general shipping business at the docks and the Lehigh Valley retail yard." Troy and Burlington each has a licensed hotel, for the lirst time in many years. The late Judge LONG, of the Troy House, volun tarily banished liquor from his hotel several years ago, while the profits from his sales averaged S2OOO annually; and W. 11. D. GREEN has kept a temperance house in Bur lington for years. Both of the houses were famous for the excellent fare provided, and the quiet and order always observable. It is a pity they could not have been continued as temperance houses. Are the temperance people altogether blameless in not offording them such a generous support that the pro prietors would have no desire to engage in rum-selling in connection with the hone ruble and necessary avocation of hotel-keeping? ROBERT J. SHERMAN, whose death we an nounced yesterday, was 38 years old. lie came to Towanda when a boy, some twenty four or five years ago, and learned the trade of cabinet maker with JAMES MACKINHON. In 18(11 he enlisted in the 141 st Regiment, and served during the war. On the restoration of peace he returned to Towanda, and in June 18(16 married Miss ELSIE FROST. Mr. HHKKMAN bad suffered from poor health much of the time for some years, and about two years ago met with an accident which deprived him of the sight of one eye. Something over a yej r ago he was appoint ed Mail Agent on the 8. L. & S. Railroad, which position he held at the time of his death. The deceased was an industrious, sober, honest man, and had many friends among the people of Towanda. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn his early death; but their grief is tempered with faith, that their loved one has gone before; that he has put off the mortal to put on immortality. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." The funeral will take place to-morrow, from the residence of J. O. KHOST, on Main street, at 2 o'clock P. M. The Two Orphans at Mercur Hall to-mor row night. Howarth's Iliberniea at Mercur Hall Fri day and Saturday evenings. The light which was observed south of j town last night, about eleven o'clock, was caused by the burning of a house owned by W. R. STORKS, situate on his dairy farm in Asylum township.

VANIIOKN, of East Troy, own-' ed a steam mill at Mcintosh Hollow, Armenia j township, and while he was engaged tiring the engine, yesterday morning, the boiler burst, instantly killing Mr. VAN HORN—his body was blown iu pieces, so that he was completely unrecognizeable.

J Members of the Post are requested to meet at Military Ifall on Thursday, Feb. 12, at 10:30 A. M., to attend the funeral of Comrade ROBERT SHERMAN, at 11 o'clock. By order of GEO. V. MYKR, Com. To the Editors of the Review: Your re marks on the verdict "Not guilty, but to pay the costs," suggest another form, perhaps preferable, which is said to have been used on a certain occasion, in a trial for sheep stealing, "Not guilty, if he will leave the county ." Yours, Ac., LKX. Perseverenee. One step and then another, And the longest walk is ended; One stitch and then another. And the largest rent is mended; One brick upon another. And the highest wall is made; One flake upon another. And the deepest snow is laid. So the little coral workers, Isv their slow and constant motion, Have built those pretty islands In the distant dark blue ocean. And the noblest undertakings Mini's wisdom hath conceived, By oft-repeated efiort Have been patiently achieved. Then do not look disheartened On the work you have to do. And say that such a mighty task You never can get through; But just endeavor day by day Another point to gain, And soon the mountain which you feared Will prove to be a plain! "Rome was not ouilt in a day," The ancient proverb teaches, And nature, by her trees and flowers. The same sweet sermon preaches. Think not of far-off Unties, But of duties which are near. And having once begun the work. Resolve to persevere. I. O. OK G. T.—The next session of the Northern District Convention of Good Tem plars will he held at Atheus, Feb. 24th and 25th. E.
