On cleaning out It. A. PACKER'S private
fish pond recently, there were found two
mammoth gold fish, each of which measured
fully ten inches in leugth. Mr. P. is going to
restock the pond with carp, a new fish that is
growing into favor.
A little son of Dr. 11., of Barclay, varied
the closing sentence of that beautifully ap
propriate prayer for use by childeu, "Now I
lay me," &c., the other evening in this quite
practical if not reyerent manner: " God bless

season has just been formed at Wyalusing,
known as the Wyalusing Excursion Associa

appears to be a strong one, being made up by
the Presbyterian and Methodist societies and

Bishop HOWE was at Christ Church last
evening. There were in the chancel with
him, the Rector, Rev. J. S. BEERS, Rev. G.
P. HOPKINS and Rev. G. D. STROUD. The
Bishop delivered a very able and impressive
discourse, from the text, " But we all, with
open face beholding as in a glass the glory of
the Lord, are changed into the same image
from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of
the Lord." The theme was the duty of chris
tians to live in constant communion with
God. At the close of the sermon the rite of
confirmation was administered to a class of
ten. The Bishop is the guest of M. C. MER
CUR and will remain in town until this even
ing. This morning he will baptize the infant
child of Rev. G. F. ROSENMILLER, Rector of
Athens and Sayre.
CHANGE OF ADMINISTRATION.— Supt. J.
B. JUDD of the Barclay railroad, was yester
day relieved by F. F. LYON, superintendent
of mines of the same company. Mr. JUDD
has had the supenntendency for a number of
years. lie is one of the best railroad men in
the country, having been in the employ of the
Erie Company for a long period. He was
conductor on the ill-fated train which was
wrecked at Carr's Rock some twelve years
ago. During his residence in Towanda he
has won many friends, and has faithfully and
efficiently discharged his duties as superin
tendent of the Barclay branch of the Erie
road. We are not advised of his plans for
the future, but have no doubt he will be of

fercd a more lucrative position. Men of his
experience and ability are not numerous, and
have no trouble in finding profitable employ
ment. We shall regret to have him leave
town.
The new superintendent, Mr. LYON, is a
gentleman who has had considerable experi
ence in the management of coal mines; he is
an educated mining engineer, having pursued
his studies at Lafayette College, Easton.
When the mines were opened at Bernice he
was appointed engineer, and retained the po
sition for five years, since which time he has
been employed in the same capacity at Bar
clay. For the past two years he has with
great aceeptabilitv superintended the mines,
and we understand will continue to discharge
the duties of that position, in addition to the
general superiutendency of the road. He is a
self-made man, and his steady promotion is
the best evidence of his fitness and fidelity.
We congratulate him oil this new evidence of
appreciation of his valuable services on the
part of the company.
The subject of the following item which we
clip from the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle, formerly worked in this place and
is a brother of our townsmen, A. F. and H.
A. COWLES:
Charles 11. Cowles is a compositor who has
for nearly a year been employed in the Demo
crat and Chronicle printing office, says that
paper. He has been afflicted for thirty-seven
years with serious and increasing deafness.
Sunday evening while eating his supper, he
suddenly began to hear sounds which he had
not heard since the fourth year of his age,
when he was rendered deaf by a severe attack
of scarlet fever. The ticking of a clock, the
ordinary conversation of people near him and
other like sounds fell upon his hearing last
evening, bringing with them a grateful hope
that bis years of deafness were drawing to a
close, if not already at an end. This certainly
appears to be one of the most remarkable
instances of a complete restoration on the
part of Nature herself, independent of medi
cal or surgical agencies. Mr. Cowles is a man
whose mind is well stored with information,
although it was impossible for him to get
even a common school education when a child.
He was too deaf to acquire any benefit from
attending an ordinary school, in which he
could not have heard the teacher's instruc
tions, unless they were screamed in his ear.
Consequently, when only eleven years of age,
he went into a printing office to learn his
trade, and acquire an education at the same
time. In attaining both of these objects he
has been entirely successful, having worked
in some of the best newspoper printing offices
in the country. He says he feels very happy
in this period of restoration to hearing, and
he only hopes it mav be prolonged. He has
never been able to hear a sermon, a lecture,
or other of the entertaining and instructive
addresses to which the most of mankind may
listen when they will. He is to be heartily
congratulated upon this favorable and re
markable change.
WEATHER INDICATIONS FOR TO-DAY.—
Sliglitlv cooler; partly cloudy; local rains;
variable winds, mostly northerly; lower ba
rometer.
The News Condensed.

Mav.
Ransom Cook, who built the Clinton
prison and acted as its warden a few
years ago, died at Saratoga on Saturday
morning, aged 80. He was an inventor
of valuable tools.
Wm. Draue, General Superintendent of
the Philadelphia Ledger died last Friday
morning, aged 72 years. He founded the
Transcript , which was afterward merged
into the Ledger.

Episcopal church adopted a resolution
that the revised New Testament should

approval by the church.
The large iron ship Strathnairn with a
valuable cargo and a crew of twenty men

cember has been given up as lost. It is
thought that she was carried clown in a
cyclone.
The New York Mail's Washingtou spec"
ial says it is stated that so strong is the
evidence connecting ex-Senator Dorsey
with the Star route frauds, that a detect
ive is constantly shadowing a house in
which he is very ill.
Another ballot for Senator was had at
Albany yesterday, with about the same
result as the day previous. It is morally
certain that neither Conkling nor Piatt
can be returned. If an election is had,
Cornell will be one of the men.
Rev. Edward Judsou, Baptist, has ter
minated his pastorate over the largest and
wealthiest congregation in Orange, N. J.,
resigning a salary ol $5,500 to commence
preaching in the down town wards of
New York city. It is his ambition to
give the poorer classes as good preaching
as the wealthy pay for.
MacVeigh and James confer every day
this week on the details of the Star route
inquiry, preliminary to submitting addi
tional matter to the grand jury. One
reason of the slow progress in the pre
sentation of persons for indictment is the
difficulty in obtaining evidence to prove a
conspiracy. There are indications that
some leading contractors propose to turn
states evidence.
