While dinuer was being served at the Fourth of July building, in the court yard last Satur day, the heaviest hail storm that the "oldest inhabitant" remembers of passed over this place. Some of tho hail which we examined, was as large as a common sizid hen's egg. Considerable damage was done cabbage, and other plants; and a few windows were broken. Gexe J. Miller, Esq. of the Elk Democrat, General Advice Giver and eorector of typographical errors will give attention to all calls in his line night or day. Give him a call, persons paid for taking his advice To show that Mr. Miller is an adept in his line, we might te several articles in lute issues id Democrat when he has attempted Tjadvise us, and in last week's issue he says (and "tapes everyone will adopt it) that no one should eat soup from the end of the spoon, but should gently sip it from the side. Yet withal we pre sume people will continue to eat soup as they please, notwithstanding this sage advisor. Fourth Or July. The "day we celebrate" was celebrated in grand style in Ridgway this year. The procession formed at halt past ten, and with the cannon. Knapp Commandery, of Knights Templars, the thirty-eight young ladies dressed in white, and the R. 8. C.Band made an array woith com ing to see. After tho procession, the court house was occupied by the people, to hear the regular exercises, first was the Declaration of Independence, read by D. F. Brown of Brooklyn N. Y., al though the document is somewhat aged yet in the fine manner in which Mr. Brown lead it, it seemed like an article prepared for the occasion. Next was the oration by Rev Wm Martin, which a deserving of great praise. We are aorry that Mr. Martin, does not wish to have it published as we thought to lay the oration, entire, before our readers. The poem by G. R. Dixon, prepared es pecially for the occasion, was good. Af ter the exercises oame the public dinner, which was not a success owing to the large crowd and want of management, and, like publio dinners generally, did not give much satisfaction. The dance in the afternoon and evening, was largely attended and all present seemed to enjoy themselves. Id the evening the grand (?) display of fireworks came off, a nd so far as we can learn, not having noticed them.were a decided failure. The iantastics in the afternoon created a great deal of fun, and the old organ grinder, in white beard, with tbe lager beer glass by hi aide was among tbe joll iest of the lot. 1 v 2 The Warren county Republican have nominated Lewis F. Watson for Con gress, C. W. Stone for the Senate, George W. Allen for Assembly, Myron Dcnham for Commissioner and Robert E. Miller for Treasurer. Miller issues no paper this week, owing no doubt to the severe strain on his nervous system, caused by the effort he made in last week's Democrat to say something witty about us. We advise Gene that paregorio is good for the Btomaoh ache. Old Folk's Party. O Monday evening last the old Folks had a party in the Fourth of July Building in the publio square About fifty couples at tended, and we should judge had a good time. Neither age, nor previous con dition of lameness detcred the old boys, and girls from turning out to "trip the light fantastio toe." A Blunder in the game law of 1873 allowed the killing of squirrels after the 4th of July. This has been corrected ty supplment to the law approved April 17, 1874, and the squirrel law is now as follows. "No person shall kill or ex pose to sale or have unlawfully in his or her poscssion after the same has been killed, any gray, black or fox squirrel, between the first day of January and the first day of September in each year, under a penality of five dollars for each and every squirrel so killed or had in possession. New Postage Kates. Just bcloro the adjournment Congress settled the question of postage on printed mater. The rate on newspapers published weekly or more frequently is to be two cents per pound, on periodicals issued loss frequently than once a week, three cents per pound. Prepayment at these rates is to be compulsory after the first of next January. The postage on pub lio documents is placed at ten cents a Vol., and on the Congressional Record one cent a number; and in these cases the postage is to be prepaid. Weekly newspapers are to be carried free iu tho counties in which they are published. These rates are fair enough, and we con clude everybody is satisfied. 1 HE law coucemiug election expenses should ever be remembered by candi dates for office. The necessary and pro per expenses incident to the nomination and election of candidates to various offices are defined to be; first, for print ing and traveling expenses; secoud, for dissemination of information to the pub lic; ntl third, for political meetings, demonstrations or conventions, but noth ing must be construed as payment for votes or influence at town meeting or elections. If a candidate give a man ten dollars before election, says a cotem porjiry, it must be with the oath of office in view, which runs thus: "I have not paid, or contracted, or promised to pay or contribute, directly or indirectly, any money or other valuable things to procure my nomination or election (or appointment"), except for necessary aud proper expenses expressly authorized by law." The chances are that candidates end their ''friends" will be pretty clo sely watched this campaign; and it will be marvelous if some of tte "old stag ers" do not get tripped up iu the end. 'Pitlslurgh Tclttjrapli. The Asylum. The great work of building the largest Asylum building in the State is now well under way at North Warren. To say nothing of the manner as to how the work should be done, no one can overlook the ground and say that Mr. Sunderland has not an eye to business. And no one can say thit the location was not well selected. The first work was to build a road for heavy drafts. It is made to last and not for temporary use alone. Tbe sewer from the building is being made, and discharges into the Conewango. This ot itself is a great work. The first business before digging the cellar was to take the surface soil and cart it into mounds, where it will remain until the completion of the building. Tbe dirt from the cellur is then distributed over the space from which the surface soil has been taken. When all this has been done, these mounds ot dirt will be used as a top-dressing. Think of a building twelve hundred leet in length! You must know it is im mense. But go upon the ground and see the work already done in tbe way of a cellar, and then comprehend that this is but little more than half, and you will find that your imagination but pictured it faintly. The work of laying the foundation walls will be begun within a few days. Up to this time none of the stone has been laid and but little delivered. Eve ry thing seems to be done with careful ness, exactness. We are informed that the building and machinery for dressing lumber is to be a fixture on the premises, and that a great eaving will accrue to the enter prise in operating its own machinery a saving in handling over the gieat amount ot lumber the building will re quire. Mr. Sunderland, the Superin tendent, is no slouch. He most certainly understands his business and knows what to do first, and nothing out of time or place. Warren l,e dyer. WATEE. One of the essential things to human happiness is a good supply of pure water. Perhaps no place in the world has better water privileges than Ridg way, yet wo notico that half tbe time there is something wrong with tho ar rangements for conveying the water from the spring to town, and a great deal of repairing and troublo is tho re sult. We see no good reason why this should be so, but on the other hand we see how the whole trouble, at a compara tively small expense, could he avoided, as follows; First havo the old frame work, that now covers the spiing, and which is fast falling into decay, re moved, and a stone reservoir built in its place, to hold say 600 barrels; then have a four-inch pipe communicate with the reservoir and lead to another reservoir to be located at the corner ol Broad and Centre streets; also to be built of stone, to hold say 50 barrels. In otder to raise means to start this en terprise let a stock company be formed and shares at, say 5 each, to a sufficient amount be issued. Of course as the spring is on Doctor Earley'a land, it would require bis consent before any thing could be done, which we believe would not be'diffioult to obtain. This subject is one that interests many oi our citizens, and we hope to see something done in the matter. We can raise money to build churches, celebrate the Fourth of July, and for various other things, aud why can't wq for this lauda ble purpose? 'Another great considera tion is the use ot the water in case ol fire. If these suggestions could be carried out every man could have water at bis door; the rates ot insurance would be lower, aud tho danger of fire greatly diminished. The only fires yet reported as directly traceably to 4th of July fireetackers are East Toledo, O., 825,000, Pontiac, 111., 200,000, Circleville, O., S25.000, Alleghany City, 5000,000. The num. ber of deaths from cannon, powder, clothing taking fire, d-c, are not repor ted at above a score. The eounty gets off cheap with its celebration this year. In our county, we have but two fatal ' accidents to record that of Mr. Ileiu, ol Waterford, by a premature cannon discharge, aud that of Mr. Moriell'sboy near Union, by a fire cracker iguitiug a package of powder. Of course such trifles as these will not interfere with the practice of "celebrating" Erie Gazette. The State Lunatic Ahylum, at Ilarrisburg, was discovered to be on fire on Saturday the Cth ult. Feariog that the entire building would be destroyed, the officers and employes made the most desperate efforts to liberate the lunatics, some 400 or 500 in number. This they succeeded in doing. By this time the Good Will Fire Company, of Harris- burg, had reached the Asylum and the fire was speedily extinguished. Among the missing fugitives from the Asylum, is a womau filty years ot age aud about five le"?t seven inches high. Her hair is cut very short and is quite grey She had a healthy appearance and a piercing eye. Any person knowing her whereabouts will relieve much distress concerning her by communicating with the superintendent ot the asylum. Ex changes are requested to copy. Butter Production. At tho Na tional Convention oi Dairymen, held in Indianapolis, Hon. X A Willard, ot New York, read a paper on the produo. tion oi butter, in which he estimated tbe annual product of the United States at 700,000,000 pounds. In 1850 it was less than halt this amount. He said that there was no product' offering better enumeration for extra care in its production, and that the quality did not depend so much upon manipulation or the proportion ot ingredie nts as upon care of the cows, between whose health and the quality of the butter there is an intimate relation. He thinks that a common neglect of dairymen is the failure to provide frefh running water for their cows, and tat this neglect is one of the chief causes of poor, thin milk, from which good butter cannot be made. Couoia's Comet. Professor Swift, of Rochester, N, Y., who was the first in this county to discover the comet known as Coggia's differs widely with other astronomers who have published articles on tho subjects He says there is no probability of the tail of the comet enveloping the earth or moon. The elements of the comet do not resemble those of any comet that has appeared during the last 2,000 years. Its oi bit is no doubt parbolio and it is visiting us for the first acd last time. In the next two weeks moro will be learned oi tbe physical nature of comets by the spec troscope than has been learned in 4,000 years. Indications are of sub-divisions of the tail. The comet is large and so is the nucleus, with a disc more plane tary than stellur. Should the tail reach and envelop the earth, we should be in sensible to it, the matter composing it being so rare. Ihe rate ot motion is now thirty miles per second, and directly toward us. On the 10th of July it will be nearest the sun. The tail on July 2d, was seven or eight degrees in length, and on the side nearest the sun it had a bunchy, neblous appearanco, as though there was a now tail forming, List of Deeds and assignments, recorded in the Prothonotary's Office, of Elk county, up to July 1st 1874: John Mullcr to Charles R.

The business ol looking after pensions has become an important item in Con gress, and requires tbe closest attention on the part of the Committee entrusted with that duty. '1 he House Committee had, during the session just closed, 1, 100 cases under consideration, or only loo less than the number rckrred to them for the tLrcc sessions of the Forty- Sccoud Congress, when it reached 1, 205. The cases have been disposed ot as follows: lleported iavorably and passed the House, 202; reported adver sely, 200; covered by general bills re ported, 2(30; aud about 20 cases have been reported back to be sent to other committees, leaving nearly 500 cases to go over to the next session. The com mittee prepared general bills, which passed both houtes, as iollow; increasing tbe total hrst grade irom $1 25 to 50 tho mouth; rating ampu tiitiuu ot an aim above the elbow aud a leg above the knee equal to $24 the mouth; to iqualize the special act pro visions with the generul law in cases where the pcnsioi s are less. Also, tbe following, which passed tbe House and are now pending iu the Senate: Bill giv ing $30 for an artificial eye; bill extend ing the provisions of the general law to a dependant mother, father, or relative after a widow's death or marriage; bill increasing pensions from the date of sur geon's certificate that first shows in creased debility; also bill increasing tbe pensions of these who have lost one arm and one leg, or one hand and one foot, to the sum of ten pensions for each disa bility. J. he committee also reported a bill to extend tbe time for filing appli cations to January 1, 1875, but at pres ent writing it is unknown whethet it passed during the closing hours of the session or not, H Ultumqort Uazette und Bulletin. At Washington, the Secretary of the Treasury and Postmaster General have approved the plan of the new Phiadel- phia l ost (Jmce and ordered feupervis iDg Aicbiteot Mullett to forward tbe work without delay. The San Francisco Board of Super visors contemplates an ordiance which is intended to stop swearing in publio. ' It imposes a fine not exceeding $1,000, or imprisonment for not more than six months, upon whover shall "utter in a publio place, or in the hearing of two or more pessons, any blasphemous words or languag." It has at length been discoveed that the ubiquitous potato bug has its use. A man at Aurora, 111., was recently "buggiug" his potatoes, when, in crush ing one of the insects, some of the juice struck him iu the face. The result was a painful swelling. The physiciaus were attending him, and they consider the bug much more powerful as a blis tering agent than Spanish flies. Elk County Directory. President Judge L. D. Wetmore.

Erom the Pitttburgh Telegraph, Plethora cf Money-StagmrttoB to-ggcincwa: - The cry of the inflationists in dis cussing financial bills, during the late session of Congress, was that the oountry needed more currency. ' But the faots are that at no time for many years has money been so plentiful as it now is in proportion to the business it is required to do. The rates for call loans in New York on Saturday, in the face of rather buoyant stock market, were only from two to three per cent. In Chicago the daily papers remark a greater ease and lower rates five and six per cent. iu tbe money market than have been known there in many years. In i'hiladelphia, lioston, Haiti more, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Pitts- rgh the same plentiful supply of money is reported. It is In exeess of the demand for it for legitimate busi ness purposes. Sufficient confidence has not yet been created to warrant many investments in doubtful or specu lative enterprises; but that time will come again, just as in the past it has always marked in successive steps, the progress of business from excessive dull ness to buoyancy and enterprise. There are regular cycles of good times and bad times ot distrust and over confi dence of rash speculation and the in evitable blow.up. This disproportion in the supply and demand ot money at this time is not confined by any means to the United States. All the money centers of the world are overstocked with capital, and their condition is by no means health ful. The Bank of England rate is ower than it has been in ten years. Frauce is tho only country where money commands much more than a nominal price, and this is due to the lemarkably energetic and sustained efforts which are being made by the Bank of France to accumulate money enough to resume specie payments. The demand thus created, while it is exceptional in its purpose, will , also be temporary in its effects. The "eneral fact remains that n all the places throughout the world which money seeks, and where money is sought, there is a great deal moro to be had than is wanted. The fact comes from a simple cause. The whole active commercial and pro ducing world has suddenly found that its production has outrun its necessities; business droops just in proportion as this process gains until a state of gen eral stagnation is reached. Corament- ng on these facts aud the probable out look for tho future, the New York Times of yesterday says: mere lias been a surplus or production; he surplus mii9t be consumed before new demand and new activity arise, and those who possess little or none of the surplus ill be for a while with limited means to supply their needs. Dull busiuess, num bers, more or less great, out of employ, ineut, and a general discontent, are the first consequences of the causes we have recited. These we, in common with nearly he whole of the commercial world, are now experiencing, liul these do not ordi narily last lout!. They ore generally fol. lowed by a gradual revival of business, of wliicli, witti us, there are already some signs. Hie accumulated supply bringa down prices; low prices tempt to increased consumption; the surplus disappears, and production is again called for. The mo ment this can be resumed profitably it will be resumed, for nothing is more impatient ban idle capital. Iu somo branches of in dustry production must begin with reduced wages, to meet the lower prices, which ad vance but slowly. Rut once production bo comes fairly profitable, wages will be raised. And this will be the course which hings will take with us. The money pie- hora is by its nature a condition of affairs hat lends constantly to pass away. While it lasts prudence and patience are particu larly necessary, but discouragement is tv no means justified. List ef Causes.
