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.
GKNTLMHN lit compliance with Article
2d, Section Bd, of the new Constitution and
By-Laws of the Towanda Fire Department, I
respectfully submit my annual report for the
year ending Dec. 31, 1871).
CONDITION OK KNGINKS, &C.
T think the Steamers, Hatiu Engine, Hook
and Ladder Truck ami 1 lose Carriages are in
as good condition as they were at the time I
took charge of tin; Department—but our hose
supply is very light, only 700 feet for each
steamer, and 500 for the Naiad engine. 1
would suggest that the Council purchase at
lest 500 feet more for the use of steamers.
Although we expect to have water works
soon, we may see the time before they are
completed that by having more hose we might
save a large amount of property.
