A correspondent writing from Union, X.
Y., to the Binghamton Tribune says:—"Mr.
FRED BROWN, foamerly a drug clerk in Un
-011, now occupying the position of head clerk
in the house of C. B. PORTER, of Towanda,
is in town spending a two weeks' vacation. —
Mr. BROWN is a young man Union is proud
to own. and he meets a warm welcome from
bis many friends heac."
We are sadly pained to learn that our es
teemed friend, ex-treasurer BUNYAN of
Granville, is suffering from a severe paralyt
ic shock sustained last week. His power of
speech is gone and one half his body com
pletelv paralyzed. Mr. BUNYAN is well ad
vanced in years, but bis temperate life and
abstemious habits have left him with a strong
constitution, which we sincerely hope may
enable him to overcome his present prostra
tion.
The sale of MCINTYRES hardware store
advertised to come ofi' yesterday, was po.-t
--poned until Friday.
Quite a uumber of local items prepared for
this issue are crowded out and will appear

Towanda presented quite a deserted ap
pearance on Monday. Most business places
were closed and many proprietors and clerks
took advantage of the holiday to visit with
their families or go into the country. The
few gentlemen scan 011 the street kept clase
to the telegraph oliice, anxious to catch every
item of news from Washington.
When the news was received here Satur
day evening that the President was dead, the
church bells were tolled, emblems of mourn
ing were displayed from the liepublicnn and
office of MADILL & KINNEY ; the Grand Army
flag was displayed at half-mast, and all men
went about the street looking as sad as though
their own households had been stricken. The
interior of the Episcopal church was draped
in mourning. Tne contradiction of the sad
news early Sunday morning seemed almost
too good to be true, and inspired all hearts
with devout thankfulness.

TSte President JSetter.
The President's condition has appar
ently been improving since Sunday and
hopes arc entertained that he may yet re
cover though still in a critical condition.
The following official bulletins contain
the latest information :
SOME ENCOURAGEMENT!
EXECUTIVE MANSION, 1 :15, I\ M.
There is no material change in the con
dition of the President. Dr. Agnew of
Philadelphia, who came here to consult
with the resident physicians, says that in
his judgment there are some features of
the case that arc extremely encouraging.
The kidneys and intestines are entirely
uninjured. The liver is lacerated to some
extent, and the large nerves leading from
the spine to lower extremities have been
so injured as to cause pain in the feet and
the patient is slowly gaining strehgth to
meet rhe secondary inflammation when it
occurs. As yet there is no evidence and
nothing to indicate that it will he of any
extraord ina ry extent.
JULY J—S :30, R. M.
The condition of tlie President con
tinues as favorable as at last bulletin. —
His pulse is 10(i, temperature 100-fl and
respiration 24. Another bulletin will be
issued to-morrow morning.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
Of those who actually saw the shoot
ing of the President by Charles Guiteau
Mrs. White, the woman in charge of the
waiting room where the tradgedy occur
red, was the lirst to reach the wounded
President, and she gives the following
details:
"I saw the whole thing. The man
came in the east door just as the Presi
dent entered the middle door from B st.
When he approached within live feet of
the President he tired, aiming, 1 thought,
at the heart and missed him. The Presi
dent did not appear to notice him, but
walked right on past the man. He fired
again and the President fell. lie fell at
the turn of the second row of seats. I
was the lirst to reach him and lifted up
his head. The janitor rushed in and call
ed the police. I held him till some men
came and lifted him up, He did not
speok to me or to any one until a
young boy, who I think was his son, came.
After he had vomited I think he said
something to him. When lie was lifted
upon the mattress he spoke or groaned.
No words passed between tho President
and the man who did the shootiug. The
man walked deliberately out of the cen
ter door, where somebody headed him !
' off; lie turned and started back the way
lie came and 'was seized at the door by
the police. 1 have seen the man once or
twice before. One time in particular. I
noticed him a few days ago; he prome
naded.up and down just as he did to day,
wiping his face, apparently excited. I
1 thought he was waiting for some friends.
! This morning he waited here half an
i 3
, hour, walking up and down. There were
! few people in the room when the shot was
i tired. All the passengers had gone out.
I think there was a gentlemon standing
near the door."
' - There is no doubt the assassin is a lu
natic and that the bloody deed was pre
meditated.
Among the numerous messages of cou
j dolence forwarded to the White House,
were the following:
NEW YORK, July 2.
To the Tlon. James (J. Blaine, Secretary of
State. Washington: Your telegram, with its
deplorable narrative .did not reach me prompt
ly, owing to absence. I am profoundly
j shocked at the dreadful news. The hopes

the first announcement. I wait for further
intelligence with the greatest anxiety. Ex
press to the President and those about him
my great grief and sympathy, in which the
whole American people will join.
C. A. ARTHUR.
GOVERNOR'S ISLAND, X. Y.
To (Jen. W. T. Shearman, Washington T
i trust that the assault on the life of the Presi

madman. Thanks for your dispatch and for
your promise of further information.
