down killing him. lie was 60 years old and
a much respected citizen.
The elements seemed to be in accord with
the perturbed spirit, of democracy yesterday,
and old Koreas' pranks in burling dust in the
eyes of pedestrians seemed to be the echo of
TIM IIIKKKN'S raving sit being refused a seat
in the democratic convention.
It tidies a schemer to successfully cope with
the game of 15, and we have positive infor
nmtion that Mr. TILDKN w ill be nominated
at Cincinnati.— Elmira Advertiser.
•' Yes, Mr. Advertiser ," says our TOMMY,
" but don't ye mind it was the game of fifteen
that bate the old man after ho had been —
nominated.
If the people of the county were aware of
what bargainsare daily offered at KENT'S sale
of dry goods, cloths, etc., they would tlock
to Towanda en masse. 31r. TAYLOR, the
auctioneer, has grown grey in the business,
and says he never saw such sacrifice in prices,
but Mr. KENT has resolved to clear out his
immense stock and every purchaser has a fair
chance. Dress goons of the latest paterns
often sell at one-third their real value.
Rev. 3IR. DOWXFK. who is holding a series
of meetings in the Kaptist church, is a pleas"
ant speaker, thorouglily acquainted with the
scriptures and unbilled with the spirit of the
Muster. The Kaptisls ought to maiiintain an
organization here; they have a commodious
bouse of worship, and include in their mem
bership some of our most liberal people. We
hope they may encourage and aid l'rof. DOW
NEI:, in his efforts to re-organize and establish
them on a firm basis.
