destrians, remain to-day in the same condition
they were thirty years ago, when the stones were
pitched into their awkward positions. The back
streets and suburbs are almost entirely de stitute
OF sidewalks, and all are numbered up with fire
wood, posts, lumber and rubbish generally. We
think tLat in this respect we never saw more un-
udy village. We have no taste for peering into
other peoples affairs-on the contrary. we believe
IN the doctrine of every mans keeping his own
door-yard clean but we could not forego these
much needed remarks with reference to a village
IN which we have heretofore resided, and in which
we stll feel much interest. We have probably al
ready provoked retort, but good will come of
what we have said, even at that and still more
good would be manifest if the journals of that vii
iage would do their duty and point out these evils
to their people, and the derilection of their au-
thorities in not correcting them.

NICHOLSON the Goth of June, 1866, Earl Mich
OILS, i'll the 69th year of his age, having reached
his 6Sth year on the 18th of April last.
Mr.. n. came to Burlington township when only
four years old and lived there until the day of his
death He took possession of the farm on which
he died, and where he is now buried, 36years ago,
and when there was a continuous wilderness from
his rude habi tation to Towanda-save one small
clearing of a few acres-a distance of nine miles
By his prudence, and great industry, Mr.. Nichols
acquired competence for his declining years, and
brought into high state of cultivation, not only
a beautiful home but one of the best farms in
Bradford county, and where, when he commenced,
neither competence or good farm, seemed pos
sible to human energy or foresight Now howev-
er, the traveller ON the Berwick and Flmira Turn
pike, who passes the old home Of the late Earl
Nichols, sees with gladdened eyes, the many,
smooth, fertile acres he brought to sunshine and
usefulness and where his widow, who was also
born and has always lived in Burlington township,
now resides, in comfort patiently and hopefully
awaiting the Masters call Mr.. Nichols having
thus spent his life in subduing the rugged forests,
and preparing for the enjoyment of his children.
(his two sons, worthy and highly esteemed men
now possessing the farm,) and creating property
for the community to tax IN perpetlum. This
quiet, patient and heroic worker, earned and de-
serves fame more justly than the conquering hero.
For while he has been benefactor to his race the
successful soldier is at best but a scourge and
how far above the mere politician, the speculator
and trader, who deal in millions, does the result
of Mr.. Ms laborious and humble life place him.
While he worked for himself and family he work
ed for the public good, and while civil government
lasts it will derive benefit from his labor

ATTEMIT AT MURDER IN BINGHAMTON.-Last
-5Lt Friday, August a, says the Bnghan1ton
''T"al of August 25, person entered the house
q Rev. Mr.. PLATT, of this village, through the
eelIar-way, and proceeded directly to the room of
4oNoRA OCoNNoR, the hired girl. The girl had
cured, but was not yet asleep, and on hearing her
door open inquired who was there. At that in
'ta1t she was struck heavy blow in the chest.
Size called loudly for help and the would-be as
a-asin ran, going ont through the back kitchen.
'@ procuring a light, Mr. PLATT's AK was found in
HE hall, just outside of the girls bedroom door,
dropped by the criminal in his hurry to get
away. Various circumstances pointed to o colored
10y by the name of Eli Miller as the perpetrator of
'-e offence, and on the complaint of Honora o.
OOnnor, a warrant was issued by Justice Durkee,
and placed in the hands of Chief of Police Flynn,
who arrested Miller and he is now in Jail, awaiting
animation.
Mr.. Platts family are absent md the premises
're in charge of a Mr.. Stoddard. He was awaken
d by the noise, but on going to the room from
Whence the screams issued, the man had fled.
There is every to think that he intended to
all Honora. This Miller had been at work for
Nr. Platt, but was discearged just after Mr.. P.
sent away, and he knew he was not at home.

2Sg" The following notice of our village
from the HareFy Adrocate. 1t contains too
much truth to be complimentary, and we commend
TO the careful perusal of our borough fathers :
IN article in the Athens RepaJEcan of last
week on the wealth and general prosperity of To-
wanda reminds us that we recently paid a brief
VISIT to that village. We can vouch for its being
sel!thy and blest with good share of individual
sAeprise but we think the village, in its corpor
~,e capacity, viii not bear the very fattering no.
"ees 1t Is accustomed to receive. Towanda has a
s'S'ter number of frst-class residences than anv
oler place of its size within the limits of our ac-
gIl4tance, and the business portion of the town
n; o4Iit up in highly creditable manner All
G --S however, is the result of that individual en-
prise Tor which she is deservedly noted but
