The Bradford County /School Journal is
published professedly in the interest of edu
cation and for the information of directors
and teachers. The issue of Tuesday last con
tains the proceedings of the conyention which
was held May 3, to elect a county superin
tendent. Enterprising.
"While taking depositions on an application
for a saloon license in Monroeton the other
day, the opponents of the license contended
that boys who would not go to a hotel, fre
quented saloons. ''The reason boys do not
go to hotels," said the attorney for the appli
cant, 4, is that they are afraid of meeting their
fathers there." A little rough on pater fa.
milias, but too true.
An Eltnira Advertiser correspondent writ
ing from Canton says:
Saturday night Horace Tuttle fired several
shots at a party of men who attempted to
force an entrance into his hotel at a late hour.
No one was injured among the assaulting
party, who were probably considerably sur
prised and somewhat frightened at this spir
ited resistance of the landlord of the Ameri
can.
A Visit to the Poor-house.
A few days ago we found ourselves wend
ing our way to the above mentioned place,for
the first time since the occupants were there.
On reaching our destination we were kindly
escorted by oue of the attendants through the
entire building, but s everyone lias heard a
description of the building so many times we
will only speak of the inmates. They are all
ages from infants to gray haired men and
women. And such a variety of forms and
features as meet one as we pass from room
to room closely scanning each countenance as
if expecting to find written there the cause of
their present condition. Over one hundred
(we were informed) now occupy the build
ing and but one of the number seemed to be
really happy; she said she thought it a beau
tiful place Well! perhaps it is, but to your
bumble correspondent it seemed more like a
prison. Some seemed to realize their condi
tion to its fullest extent, while others of the
more ignorant class went around in a matter
of-fact way as though they had never aspired
to any thing higher. While passing through
our attention was particularly drawn to one
who showed by every look and move the
mark of a gentleman; they called him insane
but notwithstanding bis insanity and present
humiliation it is very evident lie has known
better days, and the qsestion arose in our
mind wiiat could have brought him to this?
Young in years, intelligent in conversation
and comparatively a king among the rest;
hut Oil! the hopeless despair depicted on his
countenance was enough* to melt the hardest
heart to tears. We had the pleasure—if it
qould be called by that mime—of seeing them
surround the spread table, for their comfort
everything in that line seemed well done and
in order. One lady (insane) refusing to eat
with the poor, said she had the promise of
the best rooms in the house if she would go
and now she would have them and eat
with the family besides she guessed she
wasu't going to associate with the poor.
That was the most comical thing we saw or
heard. But takiug the whole scene together
it certainly forms a sad, dreary pictures for
thoughtful minds.

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE.—A
notice having appeared in the last Argus to
the effect that the plumbing at the poor house
was done by a Mr. TATE, Commissioner
IIURST makes a correction in the following
card:
Thelplumbing at poor house was done un
der the direction of Edward Williams, of
Towanda, and those employed by him, and is
entirely satisfactory so far.
J. W. HURST, Commissioner.
If the plumbing at the poor house reflects
credit upon any one, Mr. WILLIAMS, who had
the contract, is entitled to it, and it is hardly
fair in ourcoteraporary to cheat him out of it.

Mr. GEO. 11. WOOD :
My Dear Sir —The picture arrived this
morning, and was paid for and taken in less
than two seconds after it was opened. It is
without doubt the finest picture of any kind
in town; in fact, the finest I ever saw at any
price.
I cannot compliment you sufficiently for
your talent, and assure vou that you will
iiever regret the labor bestowed on this piece
of work; it will be productive of other simi
lar work from this section and to no small
amount. I have no doubt that by putting it
on exhibition in window I could secure you
hundreds of dollars worth of work. I have
compared it with former one of same subject
made by you at sls I think, and this is very
much finer.
My wife, who is a daughter of the subject,
is perfectly carried away; you may consider
her under obligations to you. Again thank
ing you, I remain, Yours, &c.
