A cow belonging to Dave Mul- queen, accidentally fell down an em bankment a distance of eight or ten feet on the state road the other day and was seriously Injured. Excellent counterfeits of the new silver dimes have been well circulated throughout the country, and they may easily be detected by their tin like appearance and sharp jingle. We publish the "Grant of Water Privilege" from John J. Ridgway to the Commissioners of Elk County. We believe this to bo a correct copy of the original without the acknowledge ment, which we did not consider neces sary to publish. Last Friday morning, the Brock wayville stage horses became fright ened at the cars, while standing at the depot, and running away upset, and completely deniolished,the hack. The horses escaped with a few slight scratches. The driver was in the do pot when the horses started. Last Monday the baggage room of the Hyde House was entered ia broad daylight, and about $20 worth of cigars taken. A couple of boys were on the street trying to sell cigars, and it is sup posed they were the thieves; no arrests were made, although we think arrest ing the young culprits would be a wise course to pursue. The water supply on Main street failed a few days ago, owing to a leak in the old logs somewhere. Henry Wen sel and Will Derby have been doing considerable digging in the court square to find the leaking place, but up to present writing the pen.-tock at Derby's remains dry. Later The leaks have been found and the supply of water is larger than before. We arc asked by Geo. R. Dixon the County Superintendent to say that on Saturday the 10th hist a teachers' ex amination will be held at Wilcox, and on Saturday 2th, one will be held at Ridgway. These examinations will be held iu the school buildings of the respective places and will begin promptly at 9 A. M. Let there be a general attendance of pupils, teachers, directors and others.

R Earley, will have a four-inch iron pipe laid from a spring, on Gallagher's run, above Rough and Ready, to his property at the corner of Main and Depot streets. The length of the iron pipe is more than three thousand feet We suggested the idea of supplying Ridgway with waterfrom this source sonic time ago in the Ad vocate, and we hope the citizens will yet take hold of the njatter, before it is too late, or before the lire fiend has laid the business portion of our town in ashes.

Several of the items were the same as sent us by "J" and of course it is not necessary to print the same items twice. We hope "X" will not get discouraged but will let us hear from him frequently. We will always lie glad to put the items in shape. Again, we had much rather have an over supply of correspondence thau a dearth. Ed. Advocate. CENTENNIAL LETTER. (From our Special Correspondent.) Phila., Aug., 14th, 187G. Deak Sir. Since my last writing, has occurred the great event of the Centennial year iu this city, I refer to the grand parade of National Guard of Pa., which paraded ten thousand strong on 'the loth inst. Orders were issued for every command tobe in readi ness at one o'clock P. M. of Thursday but the increasing heat caused many commanders to question the propriety of bringing the men out for a march' on the hot pavements of the city. Gov Hartranft ever watchful and careful of his command, ordered a meeting of the Surgeons of the various commands and it was for them to decide Whether or not the people should witness the promised disp'ay. After a long con sultation a majority of the medivine men voted the weather favorable, and the troops prepared accordingly. The Philade phhl & Reading R R. trans ferred the various divisions to the city where at the appointed time the line commenced to form on Broad St. the left resting iu front of themasonic tem ple near Market St. and tho right on Columbia Avenue, forming a double line two and one-fourth miles in length. sthe line formed the sun seemed to put on its brightest face, and the heat was fearful. Regiments would form in the line, stack arms and retreat to the west side of the street which was shaded, and mounted ofticers were soon ready to dismount and seek shelter from old Sol. The citizens defied the heat and thousands lined the streets where the line formed and along the expected line of march, and windows, balconies, and every available point from which a view of the street could be obtained held a full quota of faces. About five o'clock the line was complete, and the order to fall in was heard and the stacked arms were soon in position, and the forward movement common eed, a company Jof police at the front. The movement began at the extreme right of the column, each Regl., wheeling to the left by company and moving down Broad St. along the front of the line, each regiment wheel ing into its position as soon as the one on its right had passed its front. It was nearly two hours from tho time the move began, before tho extreme left was in motion. Gov. Hartranft and staff reviewed the troops. As the left flank moved into column a friendly cloud passed between the poor soldiers and the sun and, bravely maintained its position during the entire march, greatly diminishing the distress of those in full dress uniforms. The lines moved down Broad St. to Chestnut, down Chestnut to Third, up Third to Market and up Market to Broad, where the line was broken and the tired miitia dispersed. The streets along the line of march were in full holiday costume, and the people were everywhere waiting and watching for some extra display of military disci pline. Applause commenced when the first company moved and con tinued along the entire line of march. If the Philadelphians did'nt blister their hands that day, they must have hardened them. The display was grand, and Pennsylvania may well be proud of its N, G P. few men fell out of the ranks overcome by the heat, but there was not one serious case of sun stroke. The parade was a grand suc cess in point of numbers and appear ruce. It is still hot but not quite up to the old point of July.
