There should be a general demonstra
tion by the citizens of Ridgway, and
not only of Rlilgway but of the whole
county. What say you all? Let
meeting be called to take action in the
matter.
A new school house will be built
on the site of the old one known as the
Gardner school house. The new one
will be a frame building, 24x36 feet,
one 12-foot story high, lathed ana
plastered and wainseonted up three or
four feet, with stone foundation, on
which will rest the chimney. It will
be a great improvement over the old
structure.
Only about $3000 worth of the new
county bonds have been taken by the
citizens of the county as yet. Post
master Hagerty sold, indirectly, $1800
worth of the Baby Bonds to one per
son. Why it is that sane people will
invest their money in Governments
at 4 per cent, when such a splended In
vestment as Elk County bonds atO per
cent, is offered, is a thing past the
comprehension of ordinary mortals.
The $ 10,000,000 Baby Bonds issued
by the U. S. Government have all
been taken. And we will bet $5 00
against a big cent, and give back the
cent if we win, that not o per cent, of
the whole amount remains in the hands
of the poorer classes for the benefit of
whom they were issued, but on the con
trary the vast bulk of these bonds are
held to-day, or will be inside of three
months, in the hands of men of wealth,
and the laboring classes may continue
to trust to the uncertainty of savings
banks as heretofore.

Miss Green and Mr. Neemer stood
at the chancel rail in a Roman Catho
lic Church at Delphos, Ohio, in the
presence of a large wedding assembly.
The marriage service was smoothly
performed to the point where Miss
Green was asked if she would take
Mr. Neemier to be her husband. "No,
I will not," she responded. The priest
thought she was confused, and put the
question again, whereupon she de
clared that she bad changed her mind,
but would give no explanation. Of
course the ceremony was not con
cluded. For wooden ware go to 42 Main

It is a fact well established by un
questionable testimony that Hall's
Hair Renewer renews, clean.es, bright
ens, invigorates and restore to its
original color and luster, faded gray or
discolored hair, cheaply, quickly and
surely. The poorest people prefer to
buy it and use it, rather than to pro
claim in a manner more forcible than
words can delineate, through blanched
locks or grizzly beard, that they are
aged ana passing to decay. A very
short trial will convince the most
skeptical that it does eradicate the
scalp diseases which rob the hair of its
color and life. Fort Scott (Kan.)

D. C. Oyster has just been elected
Treasurer of the school fund for the en

without salary, and furnishes his

moved into the room formerly occu

Monday afternoon. Many of the
pupils were at the depot to bid their

they would stay another year, but
as that is out of the question we still
hope yet another year may find these
faithful instructors at their old post in
the Ridgway Graded School.
Miss Lizzie Luther met with a
curious accident after choir practice at
the Presbyterian Chapel on Sunday
afternoon last. While going down
stairs she turned back, like Lot's wife,
to see if another lady was coming, and
instead of turning Into a pillar of salt,
she turned a complete somersault,
alighting at the foot of the long flight
of Btairs, fortunately more seared than
hurt, although she sprained ashoulder
considerable. We congratulate Miss
Luther on her escape from serious in
jury. If you want tt buy a Lounge go to

According to the Salt Lake 7Vi
bune, a Gentile paper, the scene of the
Mountain Meadow massacre is now
the very picture of desolation. Before
the Mormons murdered one hundred
and thirty-one innocent men, women
and children there In 1857, the Mead
ows were known far and wide as a
paradise in the desert, with an abun
dance of grass; crystal streams, and
ever-flowing springs. Today the
grass is gone, the water courses dried
up, and nothing but a dreary waste
umrKs me once neautirui spot. It is
said that the earth is also sinkino-. and
the bones which were collected after
tne massacre, though thrice buried,
continue to reappear, while settlers in
the vicinity shun the spot as haunted,
and say that the winds from the Mead-
ows bring piercing cries for help to
their ears.

Gapes hi Poultry.
ITS CAUSE, PREVENTION AND CURE.
I am in receipt of several letters in
quiring the best cure for gapes and
other diseases which poultry are
subject to. In raising chickens, there
is one particular point that I insist
upon to insure success, absolute clean
liness. Preventives are far bettor
than cures. Show me a flock of young
chickens with the gapes, and, nine
times out of leu, they have access to
some mud hole, or pool of filthy water.
Give them clean water. Just imagine
t hat you are drinking it yourself.
Poultry want care and attention as
well as your cow, horse, or any other
live stock. Every poultry breeder
should have a bottle of the Douglass
mixture on hand. It Is very easily
made and consists of one-half pound
of sulphate of iron, one ounce of sul
phuric add and two gallons of water.
Give a teaspoon of this in even half
pint of water
In, the fatal disease caused by the
presence of the gapes, worms appear
unusually prevalent. I have found no
difficulty eflecting a cure by the me of
turpentine. Take a hen's feather,
make a pointed end, but leave about
two inches of the feathers as they are ;
dip it In spirits of turpeutine and run
it down the chicken's or fowl's throat ;
turn it around three or four times,
then draw out the feather and you will
find it filled with small worms. One
or two applications may be regarded
as a cure. I have seen the roupe,
poultry itch, leg weakness, and poul
try cholera; of which I shall speak in
some future letter. I have seen all
this where poultry was poorly looked
after, and where the keepers always
complain that poultry doesnt pay
airree with them if they don't look
out for their stock better. Cor. War

Under the above heading the Mc
Kcesport Timet gives the following ac
count of the heavy frost of that year,
which was general over this section of
the State s
On the 4th of June, 1859. twenty
years ago this morning, occurred the
most disastrous trosiwiucn tins section
of the coutitry ever experienced. The
season was much further advanced
than this one. The growing corn was
several inches high, wheat and rye
were out in head, different kinds of
fruit were fully developed, and every
thing looked prosperous for a bounti
ful harvest. The frost occurred on a
Sunday morning. The day and even
ing before were cloudy anil as cold ns
an April day. It was hoped the clouds
might continue but the sky cleared
anil the frost came in all its destructive
power. Never had there been such
coustcration among farmers. Visions
of famine and starvation stared them
in the face. In fact it did look rather
gloomy. Well do we remember how
everything turned black as the sun
came over the horizon on that eventful
Sunday morning, ami corn and other
vegetation sunk to the ground as if cut
by a knife. Country people flocked
to the nearest cities the next morning
and laid in a supply of flour and gro
ceries. Beans were sowed in unlimited
quantities, corn was rc planted and
every precaution taken to avert the
fate which seemed to await, the
country. But the frost did not prove
as general as feared, and people secured
nn existence until the next year
brought abundant crops. However,
it is safe to say there was more corn
bread and beans punished in the win
ter of C'J-tWI than during any other
season of the same duration 'in this
section. 1H.VJ will be handed down to
history as the year of the "big frost."
We did not make such a very large es
cape trom a rcetition of the frost last
Friday morning.
Movements of Wen. Grant and Party.
Hong Kong, May 21. Gen. Grant's
party made a brief visit to Swaten on
May 13 ; on the 14th they visited Amoy
ami on the 15th Foo Chow. The de
monstrations at. these places were un
important. The party arrived at
Shanghai on the 1 7th. and upon land
ing received a cordial welcome In the
presence ol a crowd, composed most
entirely of that foreign community
and a large number of Chinese. An
address was delivered on behalf of the
citizens to which Gen. Grant replied
in a speech, which is regarded by
many persons as of a peculiar signifi
cance, lie said lie wished he" had
known ten years ago what lie had
lately learned and that his experience
in this part of the world would be of
great intiM-est and possibly of great use
in future. In the procession which
escorted the party from the vessel to
the residence of the United States
consul, where General Grant remains
while in Shanghai, were the volunteer
rifle corps, who detached the horses
from his carriage and themselves drew
the vehicle to its destination. Several
days were occupied with receptions ot
foreign consuls and Chinesediguilaries,
among whom wusthe Viceroy of Nan
king, who was sent from Pekin to bear
welcome from thecentral government.
General Grant will proceed- In the
Ashuelat to Ciiofoo, and. probably to
Tieu Trin.
Tin: Best is the Cheapest. The
announcement that a new edition of
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary has
just been published, containing many
new and valuable features, suggests the
thought that buying a Dictionary is a
good deal like buying an egg or a
watch: a bad one is not cheap at any
price. Webster being the standard
authority for the Fngiish language,
he naturally has many imitators, but
imitators are usually held at their
true worth by the public; who wants
a wooden nutmeg, though it may look
ever so much like the genuine article?
The popularity of Webster is based
upon this principle.
If you want a handy thing to carry
with you, a companion that you can al
ways rely upon, and one that will
never tire you, a really vude mceum,
we reeeomend that you get a copy of
the pocket edition of Webster, with its
18, tmo words and meanings, rules for
spelling, tables of weight nnd measure,
abbreviations, words, phrases and
proverbs from the ancient and modern
languages.
It is printed from new type, and
hound in morocco, with tucks, and
bright glit edges, and, when not other
wise obtainable, will be otherwise ob
tainable, will be sent by mail, on
receipt of one dollar, by the publishers,

Deadwood, D. T., June 15. Eleven
persons were drowned at Buffalo Gap
on Thursday night by a sudden rise
and overflow of Beaver creek, caused
by a waterspout. The names of the
victims as far as can be ascertained are
as follows: Mrs. Rhodes, Mrs. Moore,
Oliver Rhodes, Frank Reed, and three
children Clyde, Cliff and Maud
Rhodes; four men who were en route
from the hills to the railroad, names
unknown; two of them were team
owners, one a passenger and one a
night herder. The persons whose
names are given were all emigrants on
their way to the hills from Mill
county, Iowa. In five minutes from
the time the first alarm was given the
whole surrounding country was
flooded and the water subsided ulmcwt
as suddenly as it rose.

Is a compound of the virtues of Hnrsnpnrillft,

iodide of potash and iron, all powerful Mood

elements. It is tho purest, safest, and in
every way the most effectual alterative medi.
einn' known or available to tbn public. The
sciences of medicine and chemistry have
never produced so valuable a remedy, nor
one so potent to cure all diseases resulting
irom impure moon, it cures acroiuin, anu

Bv its searchinff and clcansinff finalities
it purges out the foul corruptions which
contaminate the blood, and cause derange
ment and decay. It stimulates and enlivens
the vital functions. It promotes energy and
strength. It restores anil preserves health.
It infuses new life and vigor throughout the
whole system. No sufferer from any disease
which arises from impurity of the blood need
despair, who will give Aveb's Saksaparilla
a fair trial. Kemeraher, the earlier the
trial, the speedier the cure.
Its recipe lias been furnished to physicians
everywhere; and they, recognizing its supe
rior qualities, administer it in their practice.
For nearly forty years Aver's Sarsapa
rilla lias been widely used, and it now pos
sesses the confidence of millions of people
who have experienced benefits from its mar
vellous curative virtues.
