Ridgway, Pa. July 9th 1874 2t.
Hail Storm. 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.

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.

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,

FEN3I0KS.
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

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.
