It now seems that the McKean

great mistake in raisiug the salary of
their couuty superintendent to $2000 a

consider the salary question, he will
deduct the amount from their state ap
propriation and as this will only leave
the sum of about $500 to be divided

The New Coal Bud
The railroad that has beeu coming to
Ridgway (or several years is we believe
about to become a reality. The road is
an extension of the Bradford, Buffalo
and Pittsburgh railroad, and intersct
the Bradford road at Gilesburg, Mc
Kean Co., which is 25 miles from
Carrolton, N. T. the northern terminus
of the same roid. The engineers are
now surveying near Wilcox, and
probably at this writing are at Wilcox
The intention is to use the P ds E track
from Wilcox to Ridgway, striking the
coal road at or near Osterhouts tannery
thence running down the Clarion and
ud the Tobv creek to the Tob? ooal
fields. ' There has been a great deal of
speculation concerning this road but we
have it trom tbe best autnenty inai cod
struction will be commenced at once
and that the road will be rapid ly
Dushed forward to completion. W
are also informed that C R Earley is
the Central Manager and that Ridgway
is to be tbe headquarters of tbe road
and that the round house and macbiuc
shoos will be located here We only
hope tbe rumors may be verified bj
facts.

Peterson's Magazine. The July
number is already on our table, and is
one of those rare triumphs which have
won for this "queen of the ladies'
books" its vast circulation, larger, we
believe, than that of any other in tbe
world. The principal steel plate, "A
Modern Water-Nyioph," illustrates a
sparkling little sketch, in which a con
ceited town exquisite comes to deserved
grief at the bands of a pretty country
belle The double-sized colored steel
fashion-plate is a wonder of beauty; the
styles are the latest; and it is not only a
fashion plate it is a picture. As to the
literary contents, they are, as always,
first-class. We have rarely read such
powerful stories as those by Mrs. Ann
Stcpheus, Mis. F. II. Burnett,
Frank Lee Benedict, and the author of
The Second Life," in this number; in
fact, no other lady's book has such con
tributors as '-Peterson," It is also the
cheapest of all tbo really good maga

ought to take it. The price is but two

The Aldine for June (No. 18 of the cur
rent scries) has come to band, and it may
be called one of the most substantial uum
bers of the publication which has yet ap
peared, appealing, throughout, to the most
refined and elevated sentiments. This fact
is especially notable in several of the i'lus
tralions, "Mother's Darling," the first, be
ing a perfect ap otheosis of that holiest and
most self-Kucrificing of afluctions conveyed
by the naaie; while iu two companion
pictures, ' The Helping Hand." mid
"Saved and Lost," the story of man's
spiritual peril and his only abiding refuge
u told most strikingly. Three fine pictures
open the prc-uiiscd series of "Picturesque
Europe." in "A Waterfall in the
Pyrenees," a cem of Albert Riejrer, tu
original of which formed one of the leading
art attractions at Vienna in 1873 and two
charming ovals "f urmout on the Bonze,"
and "The Heron's Rock," both from
picturesque Auvergue. The other fullpage
picture of the number is a graphic-" Battle
of Bunker Hill," following out the
patriotic Centennial series oommenced
three months ago; and a handsome illustra
tion of Scott, tho "Drinking Stag" three
noble views of Durham Cathedral, and a
portrait of Hon. Luther B Wyman, of
Brooklyn, make up the art-contents of the
number.
In lelter press, no story of the accession
war has been so plainly and yet so sweetly
told, as iB "A Virginia Girl's Experience
at the Fall of F.ichmond," of which a part
is given in tnis number. The novel of the
Revolution, "The Spur of Monmouth,'
broadens and deepens in interest, snd in
troduces new characters freely enough to
indicate a wide field before the oonclusion.
