R&r Our citizens will be pleased to learn
that the Y. NJ. c. A, are about getting up course
OF Lectures here the present season. We presume
the Association will bot be able to secure many Of
the distinguished Lecturers of the day, yet they
expect two or three of the best ones during the
course. Miss ANNIE E. DICKINSON has promised
to be here and Prof NJ. p GADD1E of CINCINNATI
has also been engaged for two lectures to come off
the fore part of December. We sincerely hope the
Y. NJ. c. A., may meet with the success they de-
serve IN this undertaking. There is no reason
why Towanda should be behind other towns in Lit
erary matters, and we feel persuaded that our cit
liens will appreciate the opportunity offered of en-
Joying these intellectual feasts

the big freshet last spring to the great inconven
fence of the neighborhood. Mr.. Pearsall has been
engaged in rebuilding that which had been carried
Off, and had it ON Friday week nearly finished
when gale OF wind from the west struck it and
blew down the same spans into the river The
loss to MIR. Pearsal will be about $4,000 besides
the tolls since it fell and those which would have
been collected if the bridge had remained. 1t will
be difficult to rebuild this fall Many of the prn-
cipal long timbers have been broken by the fall
