"Daily Mleeirtc" only 25 cent per
month. Try it,
Fresh candies manufactured every day at
FITCH'S.
Though the streams are low, the enterpri
sing milkmen SMITH Brothers appear to be
flourishing. They have just provided them
selves with an elegant new wagon.
A sociable will be held by the ladies of the
"Church of the Messiah" on this Tuesday
evening at the residence of GEO. KIRBY on
Chestnut street. All are cordially invited to
be present.
The ballot at the election to-day must be
cut in two parts, headed respectively
"STATE," and " COUNTY." Under the
head of "State" the state treasurer alone will
be voted for; and under the head of "Coun
ty" the county officers will be voted for. See
to it that your ticket is cut in two parts fol
ded separately with the heading turned out.
and then tied together.
Prof. DANNBI.LE is to open classes in Col.
MEANS' Hall, on the 17th of Nov. This will
be good news to our young folks and to many
parents who wish to have their children learn
to dance. There has been but one opinion
expressed about Prof. D.'s teaching, and that
is that he is the best and rapidest teacher that
has ever visited Towanda. His pupils of last
season are the best dancers at all parties and
balls.
State Superintendent HIGHER has issued a
circular calling a convention of all the Super
intendents of public schools of the western
counties of the State to meet in Pittsburg the
10th day of January next, to continue in sess
ion three days. A convention of the remain
ing counties is called to meet in Reading on
on the 17th of January. It is the design of
the State Superintendent togather such infor
mation from papers read before those con
ventions as to secure the proper codification
of the school laws of the State.
The Towanda (Pa.) REVIEW has a some
what pleasing way of announcing a case of
matrimonial desertion. It says: "Patenitto,
the Italian barber, who has been doing busi
ness in Pat ton block for several years past,
left town yesterday without the usuat for.
nudities of bidding his family good-by." Pat
Entitto, who is probably an Italian of Irish
descent should certainly have been polite
enough at least to say good by.— N. Y. Com.
Adv.
That's jnst what, the REVIEW thought.
Mr. ONTKN SPALDING, one of our most
worthy citizens, has contributed hi* collec
tion of Indian relics lo the National Museum
at Washington, I). 0.. and they were sent
forward this week by Mr. JOHN* R. WIGGINS
agent for the Museum, who is npw engaged
in gathering relics, etc. in the Susquehanna
and Chemung valleys. The collection con
sists of pestles, celts, grinding tools, etc., to
gether with the celebrated Executioner's
Stone or Bloody Hock, which was captured
by ('apt. SIMON SPALDING, Aug. 12, 1775, at
the burning of Queen Esther's castle by the
Hartley exhibition. Queen Ether's Hats,
where the battle took place, is located on the
west side of the Susquehanna river, near its
junction with the Chemung. It is said that
only a few davs before the capture and burn
ing of her castle, the Queen executed twelve
American soldiers, by placing their heads on
a stone and crushing them with the Bloody
Rock. The rock is boulder shaped, of copper
blossom, about eight inches on the face, and
weighs some forty pounds. Particles of
bones and teeth from the heads of her victims,
were also foun 1 with the rock, and have
been preserved as momeutos of her cruelty,
mid were also forwarded to the Museum.
These relics, about one barrel full, have been
in the Spalding family since the day o' their
capture, and arc pronounced as very valuahl®
relics. This section is replete in Indian rel
ic* ami fossils, and those in possession of rare
specimens should deliver them to the agont
of the National Museum, and to have them
placed on exhibition and for preservation, as
tbev are connecting links m the study of pre
historic man in this beautiful valley,—B'rt
