The united ages of the latter would be 88 months. That of the former 44 months. Two to one in favor of good blood and good care. The oldest steer weighed over ten hundred pounds, and had no grain all summer.— Northern Tier (iazette. Mrs. PUMPBLLY, of Owego, died in Paris on the 14th of December last. The remains arrived in Owego last week. We extract the following from an obituaray notice in the Owego Times. Mrs. I'. had many acquain tances in this place: "It, is difficult to associate death with the intensely active brain that ceased to think, and the heart that ceased to beat a little more than two months ago in a foreign land. That life began in the Susquehanna Valley, seventy-six years ago. In the latter part of the last century, her father, George Welles, removed his family to Athens, Pa., where they acquired the large and fertile peninsula, at the junction of the Sus quehanna and Chemung rivers. Her patents were of exceptional culture, and were descended from families that have, within the past two centuries, produced an unusual number of eminent men-Colonial Governors, statesmen, and noted military and civil engineers. Mrs. Punipclly was born in 1803; 1824, she married Mr. William Pumpelly -a union that lasted happily more than half a century, till the death of her husband in 1870. Through out her lite, she was a student, rending on many subjects, and retaining well the sub stance of what she read. And while she was to the last, a devoted Christian of the Ortho dox type, this fact did not prevent her from informing herself understandingly upon those results of modern investigation which arc by many considered dangerous ground. Her love of the beautiful in nature and art found expression in painting and poetry, and when the svere affliction of deafness came upon her, these were a constant resource and unceasing joy. Her home was decorated by her brush, and besides a volume of earlier poems, she pub lished one or two shorter ones in later years. But it is not simply of the intellectual part of her nature that we woulu speak. In her domestic and social qualities there was a rare charm. As a mother with her intensely lov- ins heart, her ever ready sympathy extending from the minutest to the broadest detail, she could sustain and cheer the student, open to him unknown depths of power to which he might attain, showing him the glorious result of well doing, quickening the aspirations, exalting and ennoblinng his efforts, '-arch ing his young life with rainbows"—making it seem something grand and high to live for. Personal. E. E. LOOMIB, of Troy, who was compelled to seccumb to adverse circumstances during the late financial panic, is about to become sole proprietor of the old Pomery store in that village. As we predicted, Maj. I)IVKN was elected Mayor of. Elmira yesterday, by a majority of over 500. GKO. C. STOLL, publisher of the Laporte Domocraty has been in town for a day or two. lie returns to Sullivan county to-day. I. ROGALSKI has accepted a position with a New York jewelry house, and will close busi ness here. The firm of PATCH BKOTIIKRS has been dissolved, and is succeeded by the new one of PATCH & TRACY. Mr. W. G. TRACY hav ing taken the place of C. P. PATCH. The new firm will continue the business which has been so successfully prosecuted by its prede cessor. We gladly welcome Mr. T. to the ranks of the active businessmen of Towanda. A large number of the friends of Mayor elect, DIVKN, gathered at his residence last evening to congratulate him upon his election. The concourse was composed of men of all parties, and the Emmet Band. Maj. DIVKN was called upon, and from his doorstep made a few remarks, reiterating his platform, and concluded by thanking his friends and invit ing them inside. There an excellent lunch was spread, the genial host dispensing on all around the sunshine of his presence, and Capt. RKID, Mr .JEFF WISNKR and other friends attending to the coffee and eatables. It was a most pleasant occasion, and the Mayor elect created on all the impression that lie was the right man, not only there, but also for the office of iMayor. The informal recep tion lasted about two hours. — Elmira Adver tiser. And that reminds UH of a little incident. Some years ago our genial friend and old towsman, Hon. E. N. FKIHBIR, was defeated lor Mayor of Elmiru, by Mr. A KNOT. When the result of the election became known, a procession marched to the residence of Mr. A. for the purpose of congratulating him. The defeated candidate was in the crowd. On arriving at the AKNOT mansion repeated calls were made for the Mayor elect, but no re sponse, the gentleman having left the city. At the urgent solicitation of Mrs. ANNOT'Mr. FKIKBIK ascended the porch and apologized for the non-appearance af the gentleman they had assembled to honor, in this characteristic manner: "Friends and fellow citizens. I am request ed to state that Mr. AitNOT is not at home. but the. corpse will note exhibit himself Report of Chief Engineer. To Ihe. Honorable Burgess and Town Council of Towanda Borough.
