KENTNER, Station Agent at AVyalusing, Pa.," the Elmira Advertiser prints the subjoined biographical sketch of our friend KENTNER, of Wyalusing: A tnong the many station agents of the Le high Valley Railroad there is none more pop ular with the officers, employes and traveling public than \V. 11. KENTNER of Wvalusing. There is in the character of 3£r. KENTNER something bona tide, straight, forward and progressive, the elements making a good sub ject to write up, which hv the way. is done without solicitation. • He was born at .Mohoopany in ISIS, raised upon a farm but in early life learned the trade of a ea pentcr and joiner, which lie successfully carried on some years, running a gang of men and doing sonic first-class jobs. At the breaking 011: of the rebellion he enlist ed in the 143 d Regiment, Pennsylvania Vol unteers, in which be served a while, hut was detailed to the sharp shooters, with which he remained till close of the war, participating in the leading battles of the Army of the Po tomac. such as the Wilderness, Spotisylvania CQM Harbor. Petersburg, Fredericksburg, Hatch's Run. Are. He was often in the thick est of the tight, yet escaped wounds and came out in good health. Promotion was ottered him for gallantry and faithful services, hut lie preferred to stick to the hoys in ihe ranks sharing their privations and hardships, with the occasional fun and frollic, rather than don the straps and step up. Returning home at th<! c'ose of the war he soon took the agen cy of the Mohoopany depot, remaining there some seven years, wncu a vacancy occurred at Wyalusing in 1877, occasioned by the death of Charles Luni. The office being an impor tant one and the busiue** rapidly increasing, 11 man of good business tact and capacity was sought to occupy tlii- position and il fell to the lot of Mr. K., and he at once to >k the new field. Mr. K's long experience 111 railroading has TOWANDA, PA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1881. familiarized him with a'l the phases and workings of the system, making him to-day one of the best posted men in the general and detail routine of railroad business found 011 'he line.

Church, whose flourishing Sunday school he superintends, looking after the in terest of the school with the same spirit and enterprise that marks his railroad life. He is identified with all worthy and benevolent movements of the road and village. The several excursions o successfully run from his place, affording pleasure and profit to all concerned, were inaugurated and principally managed by him. He votes as lie fought: and reads with unabating interest the A DVKKTISKR, if beinghis favorite political paper. Mr. K. is much attached to the growing village of Wyalusing, and hopes he is permanently located there; hilt promotion awaits men of his calibre, and it is only a matter of time for him to be transferred to •. higher position, such as his ability, capacity and entsrprise warrants him holding.
