Sad Accident.
Last Thursday afternoon, Elbrldg
F. Tcrwilliger aged thirteen years ami
three months, met with a sudden and
fearful death at A. Kaul's mill a few
miles west of St. Mary's. He and his
father, J. W. Tervilliger,were engaged
making lath in a triple-saw lath mill
and as the father turned to bind an
other bunch of lath the boy discovered
a piece of wood between the saws, and
reached to get it when the loose sleeves
of his flannel shirt were caught by the
saws, anil he was at once seized and
hurled, in the twinkling of an eye, to
an irresistible doom. He called to his
father to stop the machine, who did so
only in time to catch the lacerated
form of his son, and carry him a few-
steps to the engine room, where the
boy looked up In his father's face, and
smiled, as though to say, "am I to
blame," and expired. Tho boy was
nearly cut in two, one arm was en
tirely severed, producing, as we have
said, almost instant death.
To the (School Directors of Elk County.
Gentlemen : the time for making
your annual report is nearly at hand
and I deem it highly proper that I
should call your attention to the fact
and urge you to attend well to the
matter. It is not my prescribed duty
to bring this matter before you but I
am very anxious that our school dis
tricts may all receive the State appro
priations which are apportioned them.
A considerable sum of money has
nearly every year, for a long time, been
withheld from this county by the
State Superintendent because of the
negligence of directors. Highland
which had not reported for many
years was urged into it last year and
an appropriation obtained. Look on
page 82-3 In the report of 1874 and you
will find that $337,90, were withheld
for want of reports. In the report for
1873 on page 33'J It Is stated that $132,01
were withheld and in 1872 page 3G9 of
report it is given that $92,38, were with
held. The names of the districts are
there given on the pages mentioned
and their respective lostes opposite,
If I can- save such moneys to the
county for the benefit of our schools
by "hanging on the tracks" of the di
rectors I am going to do it, Last year
not a cent was lost and tho reports
were In early and was it not because
the matter was urged again and again?
It is, hoped aud earnestly desired, that
the directors may have a pride In re
gard to the reports, make them out
correctly, which is seldom done, and
forward them to me the first Monday
in June. See that the accounts are
balanced and all the questions
answered aud the blanks all filled
Nearly every report was last year in
correct and had to be returned for cor
rection. Send your report in all right
on the first Monday in June and no
doubt bv the next Monday you will
have your money.

A prominent citizen of this place
feeling himself aggrieved by the way
"Old Proh." was running the weather
department, went all the way to New
York and bought a barometer that he
might regulate the weather to suit
himself. He brought the thing home.
regulated the running gears, wound it
up and as we were having a long dry
spcH4 he set it for rain ; twenty-four
hours passed and no ram. He then
overhauled the "critter;" regulated its
digestive organs; gave it a few shakes
and set it again, but, no rain. The
third day he gave it another twist,
stimulated it with camphor gum, and
alcohol, gave it a thorough shaking
aim succeeded in getting up a young
"Jnnmyeane ;" finally all of a sud
den the thing got on its "car" and
fairly howled with rage, threatening
to deluge the whole country with rain,
hail, and snow, and an hour after
wards it had settled down as calm and
serene as a maiden in her first love,
and in the most flattering manner
showing you that it will not rain for
three days. You take off your coat,
and go forth to your daily avocation,
and, ten to one, your jacket is.wct in
an hour- That butter-milk barometer
is a fraud ; a nuisance, an unmitigated
humbug, and that fellow has got to
take it out of the country or get a first
class engineer to run it, for we will
not be imposed upon much longer
with a new fangled weather machine
in the hands of a green-horn. PETE
Gen. Harrison Allen's Troubles,
The Erie Dixnatch says : General
Allen has abandoned his fine resi
deuce near Warren, to his wife, and
has announced that he will stop at no
sacrifice to break the bonds between
himself and his faithless partner. It
was supposed that the case would be
settled in the courts but on Wednes
day afternoon the general heard that
his wife was entertaining a stranger at
his house and, securing the aid of sev
eral policemen, lie proceeded to arrest
the disturber of his domestic peace.
Mrs. Allen held the fort in front with
a pistol while her companion escaped
from the rear and drove offliotly pur
sued by the general and the police,
who were fired upon by the fugitive,
and who returned the shots with great
liberality. No harm was clone by tho
bombardment and the man escaped to
the woods. The following particulars
are given in a special to the Titusvillc
Herald :
Warren, Pa., May 17. Between
four aud five o'clock yesterday after
noon the chief of police of this place
with General Harrison Allen, at'
tempted to arrest George Watson, of
Titusville, for indecent conduct with
tne general's wile. Mrs. Allen re
sisted any entrance to General Allen's
house, and when the door was forced
she discharged a revolver without any
damage, but so close as to blow the
powder into the face of the policeman
Watson, who had been surprised in
the house, about this time made his
escape through a window and jumped
into a buggy standing in a convenient
location. The general and the officer
jumped into another carriage andgave
pursuit.- Watson red two shots from
his buggy, when the officers returned
tho fire, kecidng up a regular fusilade
for nearly two miles. The horses were
forced to their utmost speed, and
rather than be captured Watson
jumped from his buggy and ran into
the woods. Watson returned to Gen
eral Allen's house at night and sent
word to tho officers that he did not in
tend to run away ; would bo down
town ; wanted no nonsence ; the first
man to interfere w'ould get hurt,
