WELLS —FISH.— No happier or more eon
genial assembly ever graced the advent of a
maiden at her wedding than was gathered at
the residence of LLOYD FISH, Esq., on Wed
nesday evening last on the occasion of the
marriage of his daughter, IDA L. TISH, to
Mr. JESSE O. WELLS, of Des Moines,| lowa.
Promptly at the appointed hour the blooming
bride and blushing groom presented them
selves; and in a touehiug and impressive cer
emony were joined in holy wedlock ny Rev.
Dr. WM. TAYLOR of Towanda. B3autiful
and eostly presents from parents and friends,
many in number, greeted the newly married
pair. After a collation the happy couple
started for New York and elsewhere on their
bridal tour, followed by showers of rice, old
slippers, &c. They return to say farewell to
the old home, then depart for the home of
the groom in the west. Mr. WELLS has se
cured for his wife one .of Sheshequm's
fairest and most accomplished daughters;
whose absence will be a great loss to the com
munity among which she has grown up. The
groom comes also of Sheshequin ancestry, be
ing a grandson of JESSE BROWN of that town.

will be liberly rewarded by returning the

Between 10 and 11 o'clock last night the fire
alarm was sounded and DAYTON'S mill was
reported to be burning. The department re
sponded promptly, but the flames were ex
tinguished before the enigties the
scene. The fire caught in the roof. But little
damage was done.
The play of "Oliver Twist'' was produced
at school-house hall Tuesday evening by
Seymour k Strati on's Standard Theatre Com
bination, tind is one of the most popular en
tertainments on ihe road. Fagin, the Jew,
is one of Dickens' most inimitable characters.
The story of Oliver Twist is familiar to al
most every reader, and needs no comment.
The characters were well sustained.— D'or

THE WOLFE MEETlNG.— Pursuant to an
nouncement Hon. C. S. WOLFE, independent
candidate for state treasurer, addressed the
people of this place last evening. The meet
ing was called to order by E. I). BUFFING
TON, and Hon. GEORGE LANDON presided.—
the Court House was crowded, many from
different parts of the county being present,
and for nearly three hours Mr. WOLFE held
the close attention of the large audience. His
speech was substantially the same that he has
delivered in other places. It WPS a bold di
rect indictment of the Republican " bosses,"
and whatever may be bis real motive for
" kicking," lie undoubtedly tells pretty nearly
the truth in regard to the manner and metho,]
by which candidates are created and conven
tions managed. But would it be any better
if a different set of leaders were tit the helm?
Mr. WOLFE reiterated his charges of corrup
tion against Gov. HOYT'S administration,
boldly charging the Governor, Secretary
QUAY and BLAKE WALTERS, late chief clerk
of the treasury, with speculating with state
funds. When Mr. WOLFE first made this se
rious allegation, the Governor emphatically
and explicitly branded it as false so far as he
was concerned. The speaker omitted to
tell his audience, in criticising Col. NOYKS'
administration of the treasury, that that gen
tleman was a democrat. If what he says in
regard to democratic mismanagement of funds
is true, it is a strong condemnation of his own
course, for it is admitted that his candidacy
only makes it possible for the democrats to
again get control of the treasury.
Wr. WOLFE is an impressive, fascinating
speaker and we have no doubt his remarks
made a favorable impression.
At the close of the speech Mr. RUFFIXGTON
read a series of resolutions sustaining Mr.
WOLFE'S position and pledging him support,
which were adopted.
Mr. LANDON then 'addressed the meeting
for,fifteen minutes, in one of bis old-time elo
quent and witty efl'orts, and was eagerly lis
tened to, notwithstanding the lateness of the
hour.

Gen. Silas M Baily, Republican candi
date for State Treasurer in Pennsylvania
this fall, is spoken of as "a man who has
attested his love of liberty and law by
service on the field of glory and of blood
and who won his promotion in the glori
ous Pennsylvania Reserves, from Cap
tain to Brigadier, by meritorious service
on the field; a man who stood ill the red
hell of battle at Drainesville, on the Pen
insula, at Gaines' Mill, South Mountain,
Antietam, Fredericksburg and the Wil
derness, and bore witness with his blood
that he loved his country well." Mr.
Bailey can count on our best wishes ev
ery time, and we would like to live in
Pennsylvania just long enough to vote
for him.— Elmira Advertiser.

The only way that a good entertainment
can be brought to Towanda, is by subscrip

best of the kind before the public. ALFRED

The price of tickets for the course has been
placed at a very reasonable figure. Any one
desiring to encourage this effort can learn the
