A prominent New York physioian lately complained to DUNDAS DICE. & CO., about their Sandalwood Oil Capsules, staling that sometimes they cured miracu lously, but that a patient of his had Uken them without effect. On being informed that several imitations were sold, he in quired and found his patient had not becu taking DUNDAS DICK & CO'S. What happened to this physician may have happened to others, and DUNDAS DICK & CO., take this method of protect ing physiciant druggist! and themselves, and preventing Oil of Sandalwood from com ing into disrepute. PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the CafSpuales will continue to do so, for they contain the pure Oil in the best and cheap, est form DUNDAS DICK & CO., use more Oil of SAndallwood than all the Wholesale and Retail Druggists aud Perfumers in the United States combined, and this is the sole reason why the pure Oil is sold cheaper in their Capsules than in any other form- OIL OF SANDALWOOD is fast supered ing eveiy other remedy, sixty Capsules only being required to insure a safe and certain cure in six or eight days. From no other medicine can this result be had. DUNDAS DICK & CO'S SOFT CAPSU.

Faol Accident. A MAN KNOCKED FROM A FREIGHT TRAIN BY THE 8HAWMUT BRIDGE AND FATALLY INJURED. Yesterday morning W. J. Shank of Renovo, a freight brakeman, was fatally injured by being knocked from j)is train. He was at the foot of the lader on a freight car, oiling a "hot box," and on returning to the top of the car just as the train was entering the Shawmut bridge, was thrown off, and between the cars. His right arm and leg were broken iu several places, and it is sup posed he was injured internally. The injured man died last night and was taken to Renovo for interment. Deceased was a man about twenty-five years of age and has a wife and two children at Renovo. hhs-' yftaftf" iufcMai :m From the Allentown Chron. & Newt. Corvetpjndencs From Northwestern Penn sylvania. Ridgway; Elk countys Pa., Aug. 26 1875. By advice of physicians I am epending a few weeks in the nioun tains (accompanied by my wife,) in the healthy air of the pine aid hemlock forests, for recreation and the promo tion of health, at the same time mak ing observations among the people and in the country which may be useful in my calling. Yesterday a week ago we came here to Ridgway, the county scat of Elk county, ou the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, about halfway between Wil lianisport and .Erie situated on the western part of the Alleghany Moun tains, wh ere we are high up in the pure air, water and other good gifts of nature. Ridgway was named alter Mr. Jacob Ridgway, of Philadelpb'a, who uw ted about 40,000 acres of land in this neighborhood, and who sent Mr. Jamef L. Gillis here fifty-three years ago to dispose of it. This whole county was then a perfect wilderness, with howling wolfs, with plenty ot deer, bears, panth ers and other wild acimals. After Ridgway was settled by a few persons a colony of German Catholics commenced a large settlement ten miles It oin here, establishing the town of St. Mary's which now numbers 3000 in habitants, moat all of them Catholics, with a very large German and also a food sized English Catholic Church, and other institutions belonging to them. St. Maiy's commenced with great personal sacrifices and under many privations, has now become a great stionghold of the Catholic church ij this part of the State. Ridgway numbers about 800 inhab itants, with four churches, and a fine large school house, and has greatly im proved in every respect during tho last five years. All the houses are built ot wood, except the jail and a few others used for banking and public office pur poses, and being painted white and partly sunounded with flowers make an attractive appearance. Among the new-comers is our fiiend D. K Kline, from Allentown, who was formerly employed in Mr. Fisher's Foundry and in Mr. Aincy's Furnace, and was also a very active member of the English Reformed (Rev. Wagner's) Church. He moved here with his family during last month, and is now, with the assistance of Mr. Hyde, (one of the wealthiest men of the place,) building a well-arranged foundry and maching shop, which will no doubt aad greatly to the business of Ridgway. There are two large tanneries here, one employing about thirty, the other eighty hands, for whose accommodation neat f'ame tenant houses, with yards in front and gardens behind, nave been built, and the rent of which amounts to only $3 or $1 per month. The men must work elbven hours a day, from six to six with an hour for dinner. Almost one-half are Swedes and about twenty five Germans. Mr. (J rant, ot iNew lork, manages one of the tanneries, and is now build ing himself a fine frame house for his home near it' The other, the largest tannery here and one of the best estab lishmeDts of the kind iu the country, is owned and controlled by JUr. W. 11 Osterhout, a native of Ulster county, New York, a roan of wealth and great business tact and activity. Yesterday we spent a very pleasant evening with him and his excellent family at his fine mansion, celebrated for its hospitality and rennemcnt. Last Sunday we had services in three languages in the Lutheran Church, English, Swedish and German, at 11, 1 and 3 o'clock. The Sunday School was held in the morning at half-past nine o clock. At half-past five o clock we attended Episcopal services, and at hall past seven o'clock we heard a good ser mon from Mr. Stevens, a Presbyterian clergyman, who came from Ireland when young. He spoke an hour and a quar ter rather long for an evening sermon but kept the audience very attentive to the close. After having been to church five times and to Suuday School once, we re tired to rest. On Tuesday was a Saint's Day in the Episcopal Church St. Bartholo mew's and the Rector, Mr. Miller, whose worthy family I knew well at Washington, Pa., had service in the rooming, and we attended. The con gregation itself being not large and the people not yet accustomed to week-day or Saint's Day set vices, the number present was very small, but the faithful Rector went through with the regular services as if the church had been full. During the last four years the Ruv Father Breneman, a faithful missionary of the Pittsburg Synod, in Elk and ad joining counties, visited from Louse to house, traveling often long distances on foot in visiting and collecting the scat tered Lutherans, some of whom lived here twenty years without seeing a Lutheran minister. Here in Ridgway he has collected a promising congrega tion and built a fine church, some of the members coming a long distance, often on foot, to attend service. The Meth odists have also an active congregation and a church, newly built, here. As the pulpit and the press belong together, I visited both printing offices in Ridgway, and became occquainted with the editor of the Ek County Democrvt and the editor of the Elk County Advocate both respectable pa pers aud worthy of the support of the people. During our stay in Ridgway the gTeat kindness and hospitality of the good people of the place has made a very favorable impression upon us, and although the surrounding bills look wild we feel quite at home. We board at the house of Mr. Brooks, one of the oldest residents. More than three-fourths of tho land of Elk county is yet woodland, and had, be fore tho establishment ot the tanneries, served the world only by its timber- pine and hemlock lumber. The saw mills are numerous. Mr. Hyde alone owns about a dozen of them, of which seven are now in operation. Hard times affect these regions as well as other parts of the country, and the ladoring men must work hard for wages a good deal lower than a few years ago, whilst the business of tanninq soenis to have be come more profitable. In regard to the qualities ot the soil for agricultural purposes there is a dif ference of opinion among persons with whom I have conversed on tne subject, and I cannot decide. Potatoes, oats and grain that does not require a very long summer is raised mostly now. The future must yet be developed. When I had written thus far, Judge James L. Giilis, a venerable looking gentleman, 83 years of age, called to see me to give me somo information which I desired. He was, although quite a young man then, an officer in the war of 1812-15 served in both Houses of the Legislatute at Harrisburg, was a mem ber ot Congress for a number of years, and served as Indian Ageut among the Shawnee tribe in the far West for three years, uudor the administration of Buchanan, and filled other positions of honor and trust. He was no doubt the leading man in business and politics in this part of the country for about 40 yoarj. up to 1862, when he moved to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, where he now re sides, and is at present ouly here on a visit. I "interviewed" the bright and very intelligent old gentleman for sev eral hours, and he gave me an exceed ingly instructive history of his life, ex perience and observations during more than fifty years. He camo here from the State of New York in 1822 with an ox team and six or eight hired men to make the first settlement in the district now called Elk county. After he had built a small aud cheap house, he brought his family here in the follow ing Summer. Then he opened roads in the wilderness and used all possible means to develope and improve the large tract of laud until then only used as hunting grounds by Jhe IuJiaos. Tho nearest Post-office he had when he came here was in Coudersport, Potter county, iO miles from hero, where tho mail arrived once in two week. His nearest neighbors wero 1G miles one way and 24 the other way. For county and judicial business he had to go to the county scat of Indiana county, with which this county then was in connec tion, a distance of 80 miles, always traveling on horseback mostly through dense forests where he seldom met a human being. Judge Gillis said: "I have outlived all the Presidents of tho United States, but one, "Graut, being born in 1792, when the Father of his Country" was still living. The Judge is in many re spects one of the most remarkable men 1 ever met. The amount of bis ex perienco as Agent of the Government among the Indian tribes in the West, as well as his life among tho wild regions of Pennsylvania deserve to be published in lull. Father Gillis says that this part of the Citato will never be ot great value as farming country, and says with Greeley (o young men, "(io West. In conclusion I would advise all young people to learn from old people, listen to their history, much ot which is not lounu iu cooks, anu treasure it up before it is too late. The experience and the wisdom of the aged should be more appreciated by the young. S. K. B. The Warren Mail says: The Tramp Nuisance. 1 he people ot V arren nnd vicinity have long been annoyed by tramps or vagabond tourists, and last winter the lock-up alone accommodated over six hundred. Something should be done to stop them. Last Wednesday Judge Vincent of Erie, addressed the grand jury as follows, from the Dispatch: no lniorinea that body that it is a matter of public notoiiely that the country U being overrun with tramps IT 1.1. . . a clas of persors constantly on the move, a great majority of whom will not work when they can find anything to do, but live by plunder and outlawry. He eaid that as long ago as 1767 acts of Assembly had been passed to protect the people against such things, and pro ceeded to read an act defining vagrancy and prescribing a remedy in the form of work houses and jails where vagrants may be sent and employed at hard la bor, H..0. He also read an act of a later date relating to the couuties of Warren Erie and Crawford, providioj for the arrest ol vagrants and bringing them be fore the Mayor of any city, the Burgess of any borough, or the Justice of aoy township, which officials aro emDOwered to execute the law, appoint special policemen, eto , and in cae of a neglect or refusal, then the Court of Quarter Sessions shall attend to it. It would seem men, ne remaricea mat mere is ample provision already provided for tak ing care of vagrants provided thero is a phc? to put them, and that it was his opinion that the Count v Commissioners had the power to create a workhouse, and that if the jury made a presentment to that effect, he should deem it trope and right. He deolared that the evil s on the increase, and that if tho law does not step in to oheck it, tho people will be obliged to step outside the law to pi o tect themselves, and as he could not oounsel law breaking; be thouat it ad visible to act within tho law. It you want a Dag ot leea, or a bushel of potatoes or a barrel or sack oi flour or even a small sack, of Graham flour, it will pay you to step into P & K'b for it From the Wellsboro Ayilator, Sept. 7 Tfcs Late Judge White- For the last few years the late Pros' dent Judge of this district, Hon. 11, G. White, has been gradually failing in health, suffering from time to time from attacks of epilepsy. About thre years ago, while in his office, he foil from such an attack, striking agiiost a safe and dislocating bis hip. From this severe in jury he never fully reoovered, and from that time he was seen but seldom on our streets, and relinquished almost entirely the transaction of business. .For sev eral months past, however, there had seemed to be no immediate danger of dissolution, and his death came finally as a surprise to those about him. Last Sunday he fell again on his own prem ises, injuring his side somewhat, and bringing on, during the night, attacks of the nature of pleurisy. These at tacks were not regarded as especially dangerous, however, uotil about six o'clock yesterday morning, when a very decided change for the worse was noticed, f rom that time he sank peace fully away until he expired at about half-past b'ix in the morning. He was conscious until a snort timo betoro bis death. Robert Gray White was born in Nor thumberland county, on an island in the Subquehanna river, in January, 1807. His father died when Robert was still quite young, and his mother married again, the family removing to a point on the West Branch between Jersey Shore and Lock Haven. Here were passed the early years of the young man. He entered Jefferson College, Washington county, at a comparatively early age, and in due time was gradua ted. Having selected the bar as the field of his future labors, he entered the office of Jndge Parsons, of Jersey Shore, and began his legal studies. He afterward read law lor a time at Pitisbuvg and h'terwards with Judge Shippeo at Meadville. His preparatory studies completed, he came ta Wellsboro late in the year 1829, and immediately entered upon the practice ol his profession. The young attorney was at once recognized as an able member of the profession, and his name and fair fame have from that time been most intimately associated with the political and business history ot the county. Ho was the delegate from this district then consisting, we believe, of Tioga and Potter counties to the Con vention which framed the State Consti tution of 1838, and discharged the duties of that office with marked ability. He was County Treasurer in 1842 and 3, showing himself in that post a faith ful and accurate public servant. In 1851 he was eleoted President Judge oi this judicial district, and was reelected in 1861, holding the office for a term ot twenty years. Io this position he was held in high honor by tbo bench and bar of the Stato, being recognized as a sound lawyer and an upright, impartial, and judicious judge. Tin lollowiog, from the Venango preserved for Spectator, should be fu-viti leCuieuce: lien a lamp explodes or is upset and the oil takes fire, great difficulty is experienced in extinguishing the flames. Water docs harm, for it spreads the oil and increases the area of the fire. A heavy cloth thrown over the blaze will stifle it, and so will loose earth, but these are i.ot often at band' Tho best check to an oil fire in such emergen cies in flour, and it i3 generally accessi ble. Liberally scattered over burning oil it absords tho fluid, deadens the flame, and cau readily bo at'iered up and thrown out-doors w'-.k -ho fire is extinguished. This J'a.. is worth re membering in these days of kerosene accidents. PAY AS YOU GO.
