And now the Canton Sentinel comes for
ward and claims to give its readers more ems
than the Jleporter. The Sentinel is a good
paper, and well merits the patronage it evi
dently is receiving.
E. D. RUNDKLL, will go to Williamsport
this afternoon and spend Sunday in that city.
Mrs. RUNDKLL, who lues been visiting there
for several weeks will return with him on
Monday.
The Daily REVIEW, of Towanda, Is a grow
ing paper, and we would recommend it to
iliose who desire the county news every day.
It is worth more than the subscription price,
try it .—Athens Gazette.
The Athens Gazette says: "11. C. BAIRD,
of this place, has the reputation of being the ?
most successful divorce lawyer in this county.
Parties who desire release from the "silken
bands'' of matrimony, will make a note of
this.
Pr McNiGill's lecture on the "Great Pyra
mid" at Christ Cliureh last evening was large
ly attended, and gave good satisfaction to the
appreciative audiance. We did not have the
pleasure of listening to the lecture, but those
who were so fortunate were highly pleased. 1
Among the most positive indications that
spring is really here is the display of green
garden vegetables at JORDAN'S market to- j
day. Mr. MULLOCK Knows iu>t what the 1
people here need, and spares neither paius
nor expense to supply them, lie will provide
you with vegetables fresh from the garden
cheaper than you can raise them.
44 What's in a name?'' once asked nature's
great bard. If WILLIAM had lived in these
days, and hereabouts, he would have been
constrained to confess that there is much in a
name often. The great sale which tlie
"Sterling" Organ and "Manville Piano" are
reaching is owing to the popularity of our
esteemed citizen, Capt. C. M. MANVILLE, who
is interested in them. 44 A good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches."
On Thursday we advertised a bunch of
keys, which had been found and left at this
office. To-dav the owner called for them. Al
though not a subscriber to the REVIEW,
4 *somo one told him" of the publication, and
he was thus saved much annoyance, as the
keys were necessary to gain entrance to valu
able papers and documents. The REVIEW
only costs 25 cents per month, but then some
people "can't be bothered with it."
As an evidence of the esteem in Which the
REVIEW is held bv our out-of-town readers,
wc print the following note received from one
of them last evening. We beg to inform Miss
W. that after this date we sliall aim to get the
REVIEW out In time to have it reach her the
same day.
WYALUSING, Pa., March 5,1880.
Please to start the REVIEW this way on the
rigid time aud train, then If it does not come
"Uncle Sam" will b in fault. Two (2) num
bers have been receivcu.outof four due, up to
date. We can't keep house without it.
MARGARET WELLES.
WM. MCMORAN, administrator of the late
JOHN BILKS, will sell the personal property
of deceased at Public Sale, ou the premises,
in North Towanda, on the 18th inst.
A foot race came oIF on State street yester
day afternoon, between the editor of the
Mercury , and CHARLIE SMITH. The knight

Superintendent's Notes.
March 1, 2, 3, 4.—Visited the following
schools: Her rick. Union, Inez Smith; Bali
bay, Henry Crawford. Wilmot, Oak Hill,
Mary Sweeney; Noraconk, Laonna Dodge;
Grant, Jennie Jones; Sugar Hill, Emina
Noilly. Franklin , Franklindale, Eliza Me-
Kcan; Craytou Hill, John Loughhead; Cen
ter, Wirt Kendall. Secretaries 11. 11. Smith,
of Derrick, and J. B. Johnson, of Franklin,
accompanied to part of the schools. Sciota,
Gregory and Farr schools were found closed
on account of singing school aud sickness.
The schools in general were found doing well.
Union, Balibay, Oak Hill, Sugar Hill, and
Center were observed to excel in many
points.
Mental Arithmetic as a separate exercise,
or as found in the analysis at the head of each
cac in the arithmetics, is more neglected or
ignored than any other subject.
All teachers, but especially those having
large pupils who expect to teach, should in
sist on having the model analyses given in the
book applied to the problems solved by the
pupils, and should require the operations ac
curately indicated, like the examples solved
by the author. Few pupils understand the
use of the semicolon to separate the several
steps of an operation, and hence use many
false equations. Example:—Three fourths
divided by five sixths equal eighteen twenti
eths multiplied by two equal thirty six
twentieths; instead of three fourths divided
by five sixths equals eighteen twentieths;
eighteen twentieths multiplied by two equals
thirtiy MX twentieths.
Some teachers seem either careless or stupid
in regard to accuracy in Monthly Report
Book. Clear and ample instructions are
found on first page, yet lateness and absence
are not marked as required by the school
department, and other items arc either ig
nored or incorrect. Secretaries are requested
by law to refuse to give an order to a teacher
until the report is correct.
PHILOMATH AN SOCIETY.—' The regular
meeting of the Fhilomathcuu Society was
held last evening in the Society hall.
The question, 44 llesolvcd , That the female
sex is equal to the male sex intellectually,"
which was laid over from last week, was
discussed with great spirit. Those chosen on
the afllirniative, in order to intimidate the
speakers on the negative, posted notices on
all of the doors of the Institute invinting the
ladies to he present. In answer to the call
about twenty young ladies appeared; but
this only infused greater courage into the
speakers of the negative, and prompted them
to greater efforts. The affirmative wa* sup
ported by Messrs. Prof. GEO. W. KIMBKKLY,
Prof. E. E. QuiNLAN, W. Y. DUGGAN, A. W.
STEWART, 11. GREEN, 11. F. LEE, G. M.
MARSHALL and 11. P. CORSE n. The negative
was supported by Messrs. E. A. THOMPSON.
8. C. JOHNSON, Mr. MACK, GEO. I. BUCK,
and Mr. KKLLKY. After the discussion, pro
and con, the judge, Mr. CAMPBELL, gave his
decision in favor of the negative. This caus
ed great applause, and the ladies immediately
started for home, not being very highly com
plimented. NKG.

Several egregrious blunders occurred in the
poem read before the "Wednesday Club," as
printed in the RKVIKW yesterday, and injus
tice to the author—Mrs. EUDORA TIDI>
STEVENS —we reprint it to-day, corrected:
Beyond this world there is a sphere,
As some believe, or hope, or fear,
According as their fancies lean
To things material or unseen,
Where mortals from this world departed,
Upon a new and strange life started,
Enjoy those scenes of heavenly rest,
Among the mansions of the blest—
Prepared for those who here below,
Through narrow paths, and straight do go;
Or, having in tlielr earthly state
Preferred the wide and easy gate
In purgatory meditate,
Upon the stolen waters sweet,
And secret bread which here they eat,
Lamenting that the after taste
Of food they chose in thoughtless haste,
Should be so bitter. And no device
Could save them from the consequences,
In w retched thoughts, and tortured senses,
Of actions "naughty, yet so nice."
It happens there as'often here,
Friendships arc formed both sweet and dear,
That birds and fowls of kindred feather
As here below, flock together.
The spheres divide in little coteries—
Art and science have their votaries.
The gossips still their trade pursue,
And grind forever slander's mill,
Fur 'tis a truth that is not new,
The filthy will be filthy still.
One difference great, in realms ot space,
That each soul fits in its own place.
" A set of selves are kepi Oil iwitul, ~
In places high, and each new bund
Of comers miscellaneous,
Are in them instantaneously shaken.
They fit the shape of all pure souls,
Which, after passing tnrough the holes,
Are sorted out according to their size—
A company both good and wise.
But evil hearts In form are changed;
The wondrous selves arc so arranged
These wicked souls catch fast and stick,
Because with sin they have grown thick.
It happened once upon a time,
A fresh arrival in this clime,
Became the cause of some commotion
Among those spirits whose devotion
To mundane matters was conspicuous,
And in a spirit quite ridiculous.
From regions near the Susquehanna—
A river finer than A buna,
That Naaman loved in days of old.
This Spirit came and thus was told
That it was bound to freely speak to those around
Its knowledge and own private views
Upon the subject of local news.
The new arrival begged to state
In life and thoughts 'twas most sedate;
Of rumors flying, it had heard,
And treasured an occasional word,
It thought, but still would not insist
That some in town were fond of Whist.
The schools had ceased the. use of hickory ,
The dancing club was called Tepsichore;
Willie others hud become fanatic
Over the art they call Dramatic.
In polities we've had Conventions,
Discussing much their good intentions
To make some wise and fit selection,
I To vote for at the next election.
Among the classes and conditions
Are found, of course, the town's musicians;
To give their lives variety,
They've formed a Musical Society.
But nothing's hud the great attraction,
And given the happy satisfaction,
' Afforded by tlie class in reading,
Which some how.' failed to keep proceeding.
To give this subject of local news,
Its full, complete, and proper dues,
' "I feel incompetent," the Spirit said,
"Tills topic grave, I've scarce the head
To comprehend. The Reporter's part
* Is far too great—l've not the art.
i Let Argus, with his hundred eyes,
Who sees all thoughts, all smiles, ail sighs,
} A Journal be of weekly information,
To tell what's pnsslrg in the nation;
It may uot be Republican,
But politics are under ban;
Then, if you wish something new,
I rsfer you to the Daily KKVIKW.
