PROSPECTUS. —"Of making many books
there is no end," and the multiplication of
newspapers is the popular source of educat
ing the people. We are aware that the idea
s quite preyelent that Bradford County has
too many papers, but with the large number
not one is wholy devoted to the interest of
the great producing class—the agricultur
isits—and at the urgent solicitation of some of
the best practical farmers in the county, we
have decided to commence about the first of
the new year, a local agricultural weekly,
especially adapted to the wants of the farmers
of this section. The contributors to the
paper will embrace the best practical farmers
in the county, and we shall aim to make it
of real value to every tiller of the soil, dairy-
Iman and stock raiser in the county, by giv
ing the results of experiments by those in
whom the classes interested have confidence,
and whose success in business is an evidence
fo thorough practical knowledge.
The paper will contain a condensation of
the general news and the fullest local notes.
Fuller particulars hereafter.

pox,
Rev. C. T. II ALLOW ELL will preach in the
lecture room of the Baptist Church this
evening. A prayer meeting will be held
from 7 to 7:30, after which the discourse will
be delivered. All are invited.
We are indebted to H. M. FERGUSON, the
obliging Steward of the Poor House, for the
following item under date of Dec. 12:
John C. Giles, from Wyalusing twp died
this morning at 4 o'clock. He was admitted
on the 4th of October and registered at 70
years of age. This i the tenth one that has
died. Their ages are, (51, 87, 00, 34, 91,88,90,
78, 70, 70; average. 73 1-2 years Seven were
males anil three females. The total number
of inmates, 130.
We have lately received four elegant steel
engravings, published by Messrs. STINSON &
Co., Portland, Maine, and a dozen beautiful
chromo flower panels; all are fine works of
.art, and do credit to the publishers. The
steel engravings are very large—size of each
30 by 40 inches. The plates were engraved
in London by well known English masters of
art, and cost, wlnn they came into the own
er's hands in Portland, custom duties paid,
some thirty-two thousand dollars. These
engravings are of the class that sell in Eu
rope for three guineas per copy, which is
over fifteen dollars. To engrave a single
plate of this size and description of work
manship. requires the labor of a most skilful
artist from one year to two years, and often
longer. These elegant engravings are entiti
tled " Choosing the Wedding Gown," "The
Prayer for Health," " Tending Goats," and
" The Highland Hearth."
It is believed, and generally conceded, that
these engravings make up the finest and most
elegant set of works of high art ever
brought out by American publishers. Ame
rican homes should be made beautiful by re
fined works of aft, and prices for really gdod
and meritorious pictures are now so low that
there can be no excuse for the walls to re
main gloomy, unadorned, and cheerless.
American homes should be made beautiful,
and the tendency of this will be to make
more refined and beautiful the lives of all
dwellers therein.
It is expected that over four hundred teach
ers will attend the session of the County In

for the accommodation of teachers.
