RIDGWAY, PA., MAY 9, 1878.
General Jail Delircrj.
George Smith, the Wilcox burglar j
Charles Coffee, the Centrevllle rioter;
and Dave Donaley, the man who was
sent to Jail for stealing a blanket from
Jacob Butterflies, and whose term ex
pired week ago Monday, all took a
trip oyer the Jail wall, on the west
side, and are now as free as birds of the
air. Saturday evening last, at eight
o'clock, the three aforementioned wor
thies were supposed to be safe and
sound in our securely arranged county
jail. At a later hour they were gone.
They made a grapling hook of stove
pokers and rungs from their Iron bed
stead; these Irons were bont in the
form of a hook at one end, and the
bundle secured at the other end with
wire. The bed clothes were torn Into
ehreds, and made into a rope. This
rope was fastened into the wire end of
the grapling hook, or anchor, and at
the right time was thrown over the
Jail yard wall, when the anchor caught
on the coping, and by this means the

cape was the first time Smith had been
allowed to leave his cell since his at
tempted escape on March th, and was
only out at this time on account of the
jail being whitewashed, and it was
therefore, necessary that his cell door
should beopen. The door that opens
Into the jail yard had not been un
locked for a week, and was secured,
besides the regular lock, with a patent
pad-lock, whicli is considered to be
burglar proof. The keys were all found
in tneir accustomed place, by the jailor,
H. H. Wensel, on his return from down
town at about 9 o'clock. How the
door came to be unlocked is a mystery
that will probably not be solved until
one of the prisoners is caught. In the
meantime would it not be a good Idea
to give the jail wall a coat of white
wash, for that might help to keep the
boys in.

A special dispatch from W. S. Ser
yIc, delegate from Elk county to the
- National Convention, at Philadelphia,
announces the following nominations:
8. R. Mason, of Mercer, Governor;
Shearer, Lieut-Governor; Bentley, of
Williamsport, Supreme Judge.
Thomas Welsh's troubles, arrests,
escapes, swimming across the Clarion
river, knocking down Deputy-Con
stable Kline, breaking the glass in
Louis Bren die's show case, &c, would
make half a column, and we are too
crowded for utterance. Look out for
breakers in our next issue.
On Thursday evening last an
eighteen-month-old-child of Herman
Weiss, one of the German emigrants,

setting, scalding Itself so badly that
death ensued on Friday morning.

The Second Annual Session of the
Elk County Sabbath School Associa

at Rldgway, on Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, May 22nd, 23rd, and 24th,
1878. Commencing Wednesday, at
2.80 P. M., and closing on Friday at
noon.
This association perfected its organi
zation at Wilcox, in May, 1877, when
there was a fair representation of Elk
County Sabbath Schools, excepting
those in the southeastern portion of the
county. We hope to have every school
in the county represented this year by
good efficient delegates. "In Union
there Is strength," and the object of
this association Is to unito all of our
Sabbath Schools In this society, that
each may be strengthened by the union.
We cordially Invito every Sunday
School worker In the county to be
present during the whole session, If
possible, no matter whether in the
capacity of a regularly elected dele
gate, or In your own individual ca
pacity, we say come t
Entertainment will be provided free,
for all, from abroad, who will favor us
with their presence and assistance,
providing they notify the President
that such entertainment Is desired.
Good music will be furnished for the
occasion, and our sessions will be en
livened by the presence and assistance
of Rev. Crittenden, of Bellefonte, and
several other good speakers and work
ers, from various parts of our county,
who have promised to be present.
By some mistake of the Secretary,
this convention was announced, in
one of our county papers, to take place
in April last, but this was simply a
mistake, and we hope that no harm has
been done by it.

Warm showers.

his labors in future.

Barbour, of the M'Eean County Miner,
locates Ernhout & Taylor's well No. 1 in
M'Kean County. , Now, Barbour, it is
hardly fair to appropriate other people's
oil wells when you have a five barrel bailer
in your own town By the wy, how does
that oil tank do now? It's large enough
is'nt it?
During the past week examinations
have been held at our schools, under the
charge of Prof.W. H. Prideaux. We have
attended most of them and must say
we were highly gratified. The examina
tions were thorough and exhaustive, and
certainly reflect credit upon our corps of
teachers, and prove to us that they have
been earnest and energetio in their work.
Out of about a thousand questions, in the
different brandies taught, but six failures
were recorded. Nor was it, as is so often
the case, a prepared examination, as all the
questions were written on slips and handed
promiscuously to the pupils after coming to
the olses. We might enumerate a number
of pupil and classes who excelled, but do not
think it would be judicious, and would
simply say that the affair was throughout a
complete success. The order and system
which characterized the meeting was good,
and deserving of mention. At the close the
Professor made a.few appropriate remarks
urging upon patrons their duty in regard
to visiting the schools, by way of encourage
aieuf to teachers and pupils, and to satisfy
themselves that their children were en
trusted to faithful teachers. lie rather cen
sured us for being derelict in that respect,
The reply of a member of the board was.
we employ teachers in whom we have confi
denoe, and expect them to do do their work
in their own way, which really seemed
be as eystematio ana thorough as any one
could expect or wish. In conclusion w
would say, and feel confident we express
the sentiment or the community, that our
teachers are giving perfect satisfaction in
every respect.
The Rev. Mr. Wilson commenced his
pastorate of the Dutch Reformed Church
on Sunday last. He starts off well and gave
us an excellent sermon both morning and
evening. PETE.
A Card.
Mr. Editor: It might seem to the
closer reader that I had falsely assured
Dr. Strsessley (Elk Democrat thi
week), that the salary bill of Co. Sup'ts
had been defeated, and hence, as here'
tofore, the salary was paid out of State
funds. The bill in question was de
feated on final passage, March 28th
and 8ooi after this, or in fact before
the bill was reconsidered (and who
knew or even thought it would be re
considered), I told him it had been
defeated. If any man wili show me
where I have in this election concealed
the truth, told a falsehood, or acted
unfair, I will refuse the office.
