REORGANIZATION OF MR.. GROW.

The unanimous denomination Of Hon. Ga
LUsHA A. GRow, for the sirth fern as Rep
resentatiVe from this Congressional district,
is o deserved tribute to the ability and eficien
cy which he has exhibited in Congress, and
the faithfnlneSs with which be has represented
the feelings of his constituents. The reputa-
ton which Mr. GRow has achieved has made
him national, and has shed lustre and renown
upon the district he represents. The united
voice of the Republican party of the union
called for his return, and his constituents have
wisely deferred to the public interests
His denomination has been the spontaneous
expression of the popular voice. 1t is the
universal recognition of the fact, that he is
now able to represent this district with more
ability and usefulness than any other man in
it. The times demand that the North should
not dispense with the services of her tried and
true men. This principle has been manifested
in the denomination of most of the Republi-
can members from this State And none of
them can render more efficient service to the
Republican cause than GALUsHA A. GRow.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

The Office of County Commissioner is the
most important to the tax. payers of the Coun-
ty. of any which they are called upon to ell.
The entire control of the County disbursements
is regulated by the Commissioners, and a RI
gid and searching administration Of the duties
of the Office will prevent many abuses. BY
nominating WILLIAM FL. DECKER, Of
Towanda, the Republican party have secured
a candidate who combines 10 an eminent de-
gree, the qualifications of sound Judgment, in
corruptible honesty, and the frmness to reject
all loose and doubtful measures, His election
will be fortunate event for the County.

REPRESENTATIVES.

The selection of Representatives is one of
the highest duties the voters are called upon
to perform. The Republican Convention in
presenting the names OF HENRY w. TRACY
and DR. C. 7. BLISS has testified its high
appreciation of the qualities which should be
combined in the candidate for Representative.
These two gentlemen will command the respect
and support of every member of our party
They possess a reputation which ensures an
honest representative career, with abilities
which will reflect credit upon themselves and
their constituents. With TRACY and Bliss in
the Legislature the people of Bradford will
rest in security that the schemes of spectators
will not be sanctioned by thsir representatives,
but that the interests of the taxpayers and
the Commonwealth will be carefully guarded
We bespcak for them the support not only Of
every Republicans, but of every voter who de-
sres the County to be ably and efficiently rep
resented

COUNTY AUDITOR

In its emouments and hoDors the Office of
County Auditor is of trihing Importance. But
to the tax payers of the County it is of conse-
quence. The accounts of the public officers
are all examined by the Auditor who also
scrutiuizes the County disbursements. They
are the only check upon proagacy and extrav-
agancc. 1t is necessary that the person select
ed as Auditor, should be good business man
will informed about County matters, and will
ing to undergo the labor necessary to make
such dry and tedious Investigation. z. r.
DeLONG of Asylum, has been nominated BY
the Republican party. A better choice could
not have been made.

those qualifications necessary for the proper
discharge of the duties of the responsible ofice
for which he has been presented, the uomina-
tion is one which has been everywhere receiv-
ed with universal appreciation. OF correct bu-
siness habits, energy and suavity, the Office
will be honored by his election

FIRE.-On Saturday morning last, about IL
o'clock citizens startled by the cry of Fire ~
1t found to be in the dwelling of A j. Sofeld ESQ.,
the Avenue. In consequence of light breeze from
the West the flames spread rapidly preclude
the possibility of saving the building Most of the furn
iture saved but in less damaged condition
small garden engine belonging to A. P. Cone, Esq.
and manufactured by Rogers Co., of Corning, at cost
of s25 $50, brought into requiston and did good
service in protecting the adjoining building of Mr.. Ems
worth and the shade around the burning building
Those who witnessed the operation Of this small machine
were satisfied that the main building of Mr.. Sofeld's
house could have been saved with fire engine. One
such argument this will probably convince
people Of the necessity of procuring engine for the
Company already organized.
The fire originated in the kitchen, where the hired girl
engaged in making kind of to seal preserve
pots. She left the for moment and the material
boiled over upon the stove and took fire.

/ Curious INCIDENT Monday night.as the
New Iork mail train, due here at 1890 was
passing through a piece of woods one mile
East of Geneva, the head light was suddenly
cqtinguisheu, Ieaying the track ahead Of in in
total darkness. The train was stopped, and
upon examination lage sized owl was found
futtering around in reflector, which of course
was very warm. The suppositiou is that the
owl must have flown directly against the lamp
for hole was found in the glass, which was
not large enough to pull the bird throrough
again, and it was found necessary to open the
side door of the case aRd draw the reflector
out. The owl was captured and strange to say
it was apparently uninjured These glasses in
the head light are oval and almost thrce-cighths
Of an inch thick consequently the owl must
have been flying at high rate of speed when
it came in contact with the lamp The engineer
Of the locomotive says that " he intends to have
this bird stuffed aud placed in his cab, COM
meratIve of this curious event" He was
obliged to proceed the rest of the way with a
common hand lamp, placed in the case of the
original head light Rochester Express.
