Mr. WILLIAM Drrrßicii has 011 his hts lot and near the house, a pear tree grown from sped planted bv Mrs. D.'s mother more than liftv years ago. The tree has attained im niense proportions and is very prolific, fre quently bearing more than thirty bushels of excellent fruit in one year. This year it was loaded. The tree is still vigorous and no doubt will continue for many years to come to remind, by its bountiful fruitage, the de scendants of the lady who propogated it of her thoughtful goodness. The people who plant and cultivate good fruit for the bene fit of coming generations, like those who sow pure thoughts in the hearts and minds of the young, often " build better than they know." TOWANDA, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, ISBI. Art' you going to the Elmira fair? Hon. HORACE HORTON, of Shores Hill, has a dairy of Aldernev cows and Yesterday sold hi* hotter to DITTRICH TFC Co. It was literal ly "gilt edge," being as yellow as new gold.— HORACE may not he a success as a mail con t *aetor, hut he certainly is as a butter-maker, or perhaps we should say his good wife is. We venture the assertion that a bettor dairy will not be oflsred in market this season. It will be a matter of interest to those who appreci ate good butter to know that Messrs, DIT TRICH will not ship this lot to the city where it would command a fancv price, but wiH keep it for iheir home retail trade.

An unusual celestial phenomenon was witnessed in different parts of the coun try Monday night. A band of light start ed i n the north and moved to the zenith, when it spanned the sky from the west ern to the eastern horizon, when the east ern end gathered itself up in portions like white clouds, moving rapidly towards the west until the whole mass disappear ed in that direction. The band had an apparent width of twelve feet and was different from the auroral display, in that the edges were sharply defined, and that when the band broke up it did so in the form of white luminous clouds. Some thought the nebulous belt had touched the earth's atmosphere. Tickets to Elmira and return, good for four days, are now for sale by Tieket Agent BAB COCK, for $1 50 for the round trip.
