Personal.


Franklin to-day to attend, Quarterly Meeting
for Presiding Elder WILBOR.
Prof. MCKEE, of our Graded School, very
kindly furnished the REVIEW with an inter
esting report of the Teachers Association
But it is unavoidably crowded out to-day. II
shall appear on Monday.
We learn that J. L. ELsBREE has turned
Benedict, and lead to the hymenial altar one
of the fair daughters of Athens township
Better late than never.
Hon. G. A. GROW is in town. No man in
the nation is entitled to or meets Il more
hearty reception from the people of Bradford
Mrs. PIERCE, of Oswego, who mas been
visiting at THEo. MUJLoCKs. returned home
yesterday.
Mrs. II. MULLOCK has gone to Waverly
and OsWego, n. Y, and will be absent several
days.
The sum Of eleven hundred dollars was sub
scribed to the Herald Irish Relief Fund by
members of Congress, in sums of five dollars
each. We notice among the number our
own member, Col. EDWARD OvERTON, Jr.
The Col. has many warm Irish friends, both
among his clientage and in politics, who will
not forget him for his generosity on behalf of
an unfortunate people.
We are pleased to note the promotion of
Mr.. SAMUEL ZEIGLER from the position of
night operator, to the agency of Frcnchtown
Station. Mr.. ZEIGLER is yonng m emf
nently qualified for the position. and we con-
gratulate the company in securing so good a
successor to Mr.. T. G. HARDING. lately re-
Signed Tumhh0mnoc& Republican.
SINGULAR ACCDENT.--As DR.. d. S. PRATT
stood in front of CuAMBERLINS. talking with
another gentleman yesterday afternoon, he
lost his balance and fell down the steps lead
ing to the Senate saloon. When he was taken
up it was found he had sustained quite seri-
Gus injuries in the way of a broken finger and
ugly bruises. Mr.. BURLINGTON procured a
carriage and took the Doctor home. and we
have no doubt he will soon be around again.
One of the most prosperous and enterpris-
ing of Towanda's business houses is the we'll
known establishment of
~. w. SCOTT ~ co.
We incidentally referred to the improve
ments going on at the Grocery Store and
Bakery Of u. W. SCOTT & Co. the other day.
Now that the work is completed we can
speak more definitely in regard to the changes
and improvements made.
The store has been enlarged by the tearing
away of the partition which separated the
store from the bahe-Shop; the dming-room,
which has been growing small and bcauti-
fully less" for some time past, has finally
been dispensed with altogether, in order to
make room for the rapidly increasing trade
in the grocery and provision department.
While the baking business is continued on Il
large scale aS heretofore, the work is all done
outside the building-under the supervision
Of Mr.. MUNIER, who has been in the employ
of the firm for the past ten years, and enjoys
the enviabe reputation OF being III excellent
culinary artist. The best of fresh bread,
biscuit, rusk and cake of all kinds are baked
daily, and furnished from Il counter especially
fitted up for that branch of the business. No
effort will be spared to maintain the high rep
utation the product of their oven has hereto
fore sustained.
The many improvements which have been
made in the arrangement Of the store are sug-
gestiyc of the practical good sense and excel
lent taste Of Mr.. SCOTT. and render the
store one of the most convenient and well
arranged business houses of TOwanda. More
over. the room is filled with u choice variety
of fresh groceries, which harmonize splendid
ly in appearance with the new paint and tasty
fixtures.
The firm are now prepared to offer great
