Distressing Accident.
Of the many sudden deaths and
fatal accidents we have been called
upon to narrate in a number of years
past, that which resulted in the death
of young Charlie Jackson, near
Wheeler's Indian run mill, Tuesday
afternoon, ranks among the most
sudden, terrible and sickening of
them all. Immediately after the
noonday meal, and before he had
lifted an implement to do a stroke of
work, young Jackson walked out on a
pile of logs as they lay on skids, banned
up ready to be rolled into the stream,
where he and the other men had been
busy all the forenoon "breaking in"
the piles. As he stepped on a large
poplar logit rolled, throwing the un
fortunate young man on his buck the
log passing over him. Raising in u
eittiug posture, as a second log fol
lowed In the wake of the first, his
head was crushed to a jelly between
the two, while yet another passed over
the first two. Instantly unconscious,
he suffered no pain, although the eyes
protruded from their sockets, and the
brains oozed out on the merciless tim
ber, yet the vital spark flickered faintly
for a half hour, when the darkness of
death stilled forever the but a few
moments ago bounding pulse, and
joyous heart beat. Another man
followed young Jackson but a step or
two behind, and was saved from a
similar fate, but by a hair's breadth, as
it were. But a moment elapsed until
the men at the mill, but a few rods
away, were informed of the fact, and
hastily nailing together a few boards
to act as a temporary stretcher, they
carried the body into the mill.
Andrew Jackson, the father of the
young man, was on the ground before
the dying boy was removed from the
fatal pile, and his feelings of anguish
can never be realized by those who
have never been similarly bereaved.
Charlie Jackson was about twenty -one
years of age, an industrious, peaceable,
and well-behaved young man, well
liked by his associates, and his sudden
taking off will long be sorrowfully
remembered by all those who were ac
quainted with him, while the sympa
thy of the community is with his
bereaved parents, brothers and sisters.
After a sermon by Rev. H. V. Talbot
at the M. E. Church, which was
largely attended, the remains were
taken to the new cemetery, and laid
to rot .

J. P. Marston, the accomplished
builder, has had a " call " to build the
new Court House at Ridgway, Elk
county, this State, to which lie answers
favorably. 1 n fact, he has been elected
by the Commissioners to furnish the
plans, specifications, uud to oversee
the whole work. Mr. Marston had
charge of the Warren Court House
and in that he displayed his skill, as
iu other elegant buildings. Of course
the Elk county Court House will not
equal ours in finish, nor in design, as
the builder is limited to about fifty
thousand dollars; but generally our
house is to be taken as a model. War

Mr. James Patrick, with a number j
of others, was engaged in pulling a
raft off the gravel bed at the Burnside
bridge on Tuesdoy, the 1st Inst , when,
from some unknown cause, he fell
upon the stones of the abutment
speechless.. Ho was at once carried to
the residence of his son, C. R. Patrick,
where he expired In less than ten
minutes after his fall. Medical aid
was. at once summoned, but he was
dead before the doctor arrived. Mr.
Patrick was borne in Lancaster Co,
Pa., December 14th, 1807 and died
April 1st, 1870, aged 71 years 8 months
and 17 days. He came to Clearfield
county in 1841, and since that time has
by his labors largely contributed to
the improvement of our county. He
was an active member of the Evangel
ical Association, and lived the life of
an exemplary christian. He leaves a
wife, three sous, five daughters, and
thirty grand children, who mourn his
death. His remains were Interred in
the Cemetery at Cherry Tree. Those
in bereavement have the sympathy of
the entire community. Clearfield Re
publican. Last Monday, on information
made by Win. Servey of South Brook
ville, thirteen persons, male and fe
male, were brought before 'Squire
Craig for a hearing having been ar
lirrestod for disturbing religious meet
ings at the Memorial Evangelical
church. For the past six months, as
was stated by one of the witnesses,
their conduct while in attendance ut
church and prayer meeting was unbe
coming and indecent, and not until
they were compelled to do so did the
members resort to law in order to
maintain good behavior. They were
put under $100 bail for their appear
ance at court, Two or three of the
same parties were arrested for the same
offense about three or four months
since, but were fortunate enough to
have the matter settled before the
'Squire. His Honor, Judge Jcuks, in
justice to the people and having due
regard for the law, generally handles
this kind of offenders without gloves,
and if persons cannot behave them
selves while attending Divine worship,
he has the power to send them where
their ill-manners and indecent actions
harm no one. Urookvitle Democrat.
Many business men may have for
gotten the penalty affixed by law to
the selling of any barrel or package
containing or having contained petro
leum oil without first removing tlie
brand of the inspector. The line in
such case is three hundred dollars for
each violation of the law. One-half
the fine goes to the informer. In order
to call the attention more directly to
the subject, it is stated that men in
other comities have made it a business
to purchase of merchants and dealers
the empty barrels that had contained
refined oil and each case where the
brand had not been removed they en
ter suit foi the recovery of the penalty.
It is possible that some of our business
men in this county may be subjected
to much annoyance and have also to
pay the penalty unless they exercise
due care in removing the brand of the
inspector from each oil barrel they
have used. The penalty is large
enough to attract the attention of men
who will spare no effort, to make it,
and there may be such in this county
We take from the Pamphlet Laws of
1874, the section of the act then passed,
relating to the subject :
"Suction 11. Any person or persons
w no snail sou or cause to ho sold any
barrel or package or who shall refill
tlie same without nrst removing the
brand of the inspector shall be li
able to a fine of three hundred
dollars for every barrel sold, or deliv
ered or refilled; said tines shall be re
covcrable as other fines of like char
acter are recoverable by law; and one
half shall go to the informer, and one
half to the school district in which the
offence was committed."
The bureau of the Quartermaster
General s department having charge
of tlie national cemeteries, under
Captain A. r. JCockwcll, lias jusl
issued an important notice in wh
the Grand Army of the Republic and
the private menus ot our dead soldiers
are interested. It will he generally
remembered that iu 1S73 Congress
passed a law providing for the erection
of durable head stones over tlie graves
of soldiers of the regular and volunteer
forces ot the United Hates whose re
mains are interred in tlie national mili
tary cemeteries. This law bus been
curried out, and the graves of the na
tion's dead in these cemeteries are now
permanently marked. At tlie instance
of the war department, Congress liui
recently authorized tlie erection of
similar headstones over the graves of
the Union soldiers who are buried in
private anil village cemeteries. This
will be done as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made. In the
meantime tlie Quartermaster General,
at Washington, Is endeavoring to cot
lect the necessary information as to
where these headstones are required.
All persons having any knowledge of
the burial place of soldiers iu private
cemeteries, whoso graves are not
marked, are requested to communicate
the fact to the Quartermaster General,
and give tlie regiment, company and
dateof deatli of the deceased, if known,
and similarinformation Is desired from
parties having charge or such ceme
teries. Of course it is not intended to
furnish head stones lor graves over
which monuments have already been
erected bv retutives or frieuds of the
doeen-sed. but as there are doubtless
inanv unmarked craves of the men
who fell in the defence of their coun
try's flag, it is to be hoped that there
will Iih it vigorous effort made to se
cure for them the advantage of this
provision of the last Congress.

Wright A Sons' fresh Garden Seeds,
which can be bought at all stores iu
Ridgway and surrounding country.
The wise are awakened to a standard
truth that vegetables of good quality
cannot be grown without first sowing
good pure seeds.
We ask all to look well to their own
interest and pick out those papers
marked D. 8. Wright & Sons. Many
mushroom seed men are springing up
all over the country, men who know
but little about selecting their stock,
but D. 8. Wright tr Sons are men of
great experience, and not afraid of
doing the working part, or putting
their shoulders. to the wheel in seeing
everything Is in perfect order, The
demand for D. S. Wright & Sons
Garden Seed is very great, and their
seed shop has been open eight months
packing and shipping, and orders are
still being received from parties who
claim they cannot get along without a
supply of Wrights' Garden Seed.
We would also call attention to R.
W. Wright's Anti Bilious Pills, which
are now in the market,; and cannot
fail to give satisfaction. These pills do
not gripe, and their object is to restore
lost powers, renew vigor Jand keep the
whole digestive machinery iu healthy
activity. When a person buys a box
of these pills, and takes three, he is
soon relieved of many ills, his head
gets clear, his step gets light, and he
soon feels all right.
R. W. Wright's Anti Bilious Pills,
and Wright's Pectoral Cough Syrup
recommend themselves, and one box
or bottle is sure to sell another.

Mr. Rogerson, the son of a gentle
man of large fortuue In England, after
receiving an excellent education, was
sent abroad to make the grand tour.
In this journey, young Rogerson at
tended to nothing but the various
modes of cookery, and tlie methods of
eating and drinking luxuriously. Be
fore his return his father died, when
he intered into the possession of a very
large fortune. He was now able to
look over his notes of epicurism, and
to discover where the most exquisite
dishes aud best cooks were to be pro
cured. Ho had no servants but men
cooks. Footman, butler, housekeeper,
coachman, uud grooms were all cooks.
Among those more professionally bo
were one from Florence, another from
Siennu, and another from Vlterbo,
who was employed for the special pur
pose of dressing one particular dish
only, the " doccapicaute " of Florence.
He had also a German cook for dress
ing the livers of turkeys, and the rest
were ail French. Mr. Rogersou had a
messenger constantly traveling be
tween Brittany and London, to bring
him the eggs of a certain sort of plo
ver near St. Malo; and a single dinner,
consisting of two dishes only, some
times cost him upward of fiftygulneas.
Ho counted the minutes between his
meals, and was wholly absorbed in de
vising means to indulge his appetite.
In the course of nine years he found
his table dreadfully abridged by the
ruin of his fortuue, and be was verg
ing fast to poverty. When he had
spent a fortune of one hundred and
fifty thousand pounds, and was totally
ruiued, a friend gave him a guinea to
keep him from starving; but a short
time after he was found dressing an
ortolan for himself. A few days later
he died by his own hands.
