ciety, which lias been dormant for many

ga yesterday )o attend the funeral of Mrs. C.'s

WEATHER INDICATIONS FOR TO-DAY.—
Warmer and clear.
The Elmira Sunday 'Republican will be for
sale on the streets in this place to-morrow
morning.
The Ithaca Organ Co. have given J. A.
MAXVILLE the General Agency for the state
of Pennsylvania, for the sale of their organs.
J. F. BLOCHEK,of \Yynlusing, lately shipped
0500 pounds of wood to Philadelphia; it had
been stored since 1:1 st season awaiting demand.
Mr. B. is an extensive dealer in grain and
wood.
There is no walk, however watched and tended,
But one ice patch is there;
There is 110 foot, however well defended,
But f lips without great care.
The line of division of Wraiusing township
into two election precincts has been lately
run. It is not a division of the township, us
many suppose; its only effect is to give two
election boards to facilitate voting,—one at
Camptown, the other at Wyalusing.
The prisoner who was convicted at the
present term of court of stealing an overcoat
from M. E. ROSKNFIELD'S store, and sen
tenced to fifteen months in the penitentiary,
escaped from jail yesterday morning and is
still at large.
The closing Mite Society of the Episcopal
Church for the present season was held at
M. C. MERGER'S last evening. In addition to
proving a very pleasant occasion socially to
the large number present, it was unexpected
ly successful financially, the " mites" aggre
gating over $-14.
The mutual aid societies—of which there
are some fifty in the State—must have agents
operating in this county, as we hear of two
cases —old men —in the vicinity of Wyalusing,
each of whom is insured for $30,000; the most
of this amount in favor of other parties. For
outside parties to take out heavy policies on
aged and infirm persons seems a questionable
act, and if practiced must result in demoraliz-1
ing the mush-roon companies now raging.

Mrs. LYDIA SCOTT died at the residence of
her son Hon. 11, B. SCOTT, in Towanda

MADII.L, Hon. U. B. and LUTHRR 11., of this

Infirmities incident to her advanced ag
j had prevented her from leaving home much
I of 'ate years, but she was always busy, cheer
; ful and happv. She was fond of flowers and

i beautiful varieties of house plants, even up
