LADIES BENEVOLENT TASSOCIATION.-The
Ladies Benevolent Association will meet on
Wednesday afternoon, November 30th, at the
usual place.
The commencement of our winters work
has been delayed this year by an empty trea-
sury and lack OF material for clothing. So it
has been necessary to defer our meeting un-
til after the Thanksgiving collections, in order
to ascertain whether the people of Towanda
wish to continue this work of charity or not
During the ten years Of its existence this
society has been generously sustained and has
done an amount of good that we cannot mea-
sure; but last spring our appeal for funds
was only responded to by one donation than
did not come from working members of the
Association; and it is feared that misappre-
hension exists IN regard to the need Of this
organization since the opening Of the County
House. Indeed it has been frequently re-
marked: ''We will not need the Benevolent
Society when we have the Poor House, But
our object and work have '.-en to sup
port pduperS, only to render temporary as
sistance to those who are able and willing to
support themselves-but who by sickness or
other misfortune are placed in circumstances
where a little timely aid from those more for
tunate will alleviate their suffering. and give
courage to some in a dark hour.
The greatest care is always used in giving
aid and rarely have our visitors been impos-
ed upon, and with such delcacy and tact
have our ladies worked, that sometimes eve
the recipients have never known from what
scarce the much needed help came.
Surely the people Of Towanda viii never
allow this good work to die for the lack of
funds!
unto the Lord; and that which he hath given
will he pay him again." We can ask no bet
ter security; let us make the investment. By
order of PRESIDENT OF ASSOCIATION.

WHAT REGISTERED LETTERS ARE.-An
exchange says: That question is very often
asked: What is the difference between a reg
iStcred letter and any other? The difference
is that Il registered letter does not 90 in the
mail proper. 1t passes from hand to hand
outside the mail pouches. every person
through whose hands it passes being reouir-
ed to sign Il receipt for it ON passing it over
to the next transit
The person holding the last receipt is Thus
always able to show who is accountable for
its loss. The responsibility rests on the man
who has signed a receipt for the registered
package, ana who is not able to produce the
package or receipt from somebody else sor
1t. The safest way to send money is bv mo-
ney order. Where it does not 90 to money
order office, it should always be sent in a reg
istered letter. Money ought not to be sent
lin an ordinary letter under any circumstan
'ceS. There is no possible way of tracking
such Il letter"

Dwelling Burned,

The residence Of George H. Houston,
near Mount Pleasant, was destroyed by
fire, with all its furniture, save that of one
room on the first floor, Friday night Of last
week. A defective 1ue is supposed to have
caused the fire. The upper part of
the house had been burning for some time,
and the roof was about to fall in, when the
occupants of the house discovered their
critical situation. Fortunately, none of
them had retired. Mr.. and Mrs. Houston
were in their sitting room, and the baby,
in its night clothes, lay in the cradle, but
there was no time to secure clothing or
wraps. Mrs. Houston, with her child, was
out doors nearly an hour. The furniture
of the front parlor was saved by the exer-
tions of Mr.. Houston and Others The
dwelling was comparatively new one,
and was insured for 81, 200 in the Farmers
Mutual Company of Wilmington. There
was no insurance on the furniture and
clothing, and the loss on these was heavy.
The family spent the night with a neigh
Dor, and are at present residing with Mrs.
Houston's father, R. w. Cochran, ESQ.
