A cow owned by Mrs. Burk, who resides on Chase street, recently gave birth to a calf which is one of the wonders of the nineteenth century. It has only three legs, the left fore leg being the missing member. But the strange part of the story is that now, after ti ve days have clasped since it was born, it is as hearty and gets around on its three legs as lively and nimbly as any four-legged calf that ever came to dwell upon this mundane sphere. The calf is perfect in every respect, with the ex ception as above stated. It is now the property of Mr. J. B. Miller, the butcher, who announces his intention of raising and exhibiting it us a living curiosity. It can be seen at his barn, in the roar of his residence on Chaoe street. Kane Blade, Groves and Goodnight, Presbyter ian clergymen, announced in Texas that they had received a special divine revelation, in which the end of the world within ten years was foretald. Their presbytery expelled them, but they are making many converts, and have started a sect called the Taber nacle of the Coming Lord. They preach that Grant, re-elected in 1880, will invade and subdue Europe, over throw Romanism, and finally meet a downfall after which the millennium. Tlio Melhotlist Episcopal Church, KIDGWAV, EDK CO., PA. This church was built in the years 1873 and 1874, when times were good and, money was plenty. If I am cor rectly informed a fair per cent, of the leading and most influentlalc.itize'ns of Ridgway encouraged the building of said church. T.hese citizens were doubtless divided in opiuiou as to the extent of the financial ability of the town to build. Rome thought f-5,000, some $0,000, other some $ 8,000, of tills last some the Pastor, Rev. W. Martin was not the least, doubtles he was the mmt, for that sum prevailed as the measure of your financial ability to build. Tills sum, it seems to me, could not have prevailed without the concurrence of a majority of the build ing committee, and the trustees of said church. And, furthermore, it does not appear to me that the building committee and trustees would have consented to build to the extent of $8,000 without the concurrence of their constituents. Do you inquire who were said constituents? I reply, they should have comprised the rank and file of Ridgway for the reason that the Methodist (if the writer is not misinformed) is the oldest denomi nation in IUdgway. Thirty or forty years ago what clergyman visited your sick, consoled your dying, buried your dead, and comforted your sorrowing hearts by assuring you that you should meet your loved ones again "In the sweet bye-aud-by" in the life and home beyond the grave? Is it not just, based upon the fact of her senior ity and services indiscriminately per formed, that this denomination al though poor, should have a church, and that the community for whose welfare she has, and does unremittingly toil, should help pay for it? Is not said church a credit to Ridgway? Would a church less beautiful and less costly have conferred as much honor upon the county seat of Elk? Cer tainly no person who rises above de nominational prejudice, and views things through the broad glass of that charity' which thinketlt no evil and is kind, will say that Methodism is not, in the constellation of her sisterhood, an honor to the world. If to the world, then certainly to Ridgway. But we will admit, that the Methodist society at Ridgway should not have exceeded $."),0(i0 in her church building. Now, they did build to the extent of ?8,000, that will leave $3,000 to come from abroad. It shall be forthcoming, more than one-half of said $:,000 is paid or provided for, and we are good for the other half. Now, that leaves $V00 for Ridgway to pay Do you ssk how can that amount, which according to your showing was nearly $-1,500 when you commenced your collecting, be the amount of $nid debt. 1 reply, be cause the trustees of said church," have paid nearly or quite one-hitlf of the a m mint of the subscriptions, on our books, in interest, without receiving one penny from said subscription. Who has jnvid nn jHnUJ'cst. on his sub scription? Until one year ago the trustees paid ten per cent, on the whole amount of debt, some of it quarterly, part semi-annually, some annually. The past year we have been abroad and collected it among the friends of Methodism. Is this right? Shuld not every person who owes a subscription to this church pro ceed to pay said subscription? Is there a God who is cognizant of our actions? Does he reward men accord ing to their works? If so can we pos sibly lose anything by paying our church subscription? Indeed can we afford not to pay it? It must be paid or we are guilty before Him unto whom all hearts are open, and to wlioui ail acts are known. Now, wc have paid ten per cent, annually on your subscription since it was given. We cannot do it longer. It is ruinous. Now, will yon please commence at once to pay your subscription? Wo do not wish in any way to distress or em harass any of you, we make you this proposition. Those who have large amounts please divide them into ten equal parts, and pay it monthly until all is paid. That gives you ten months in which to pay your subscription. Those who have small amounts pay half at once; the balance in thirty days. This must strike every sub scriber as a fair proposition. We give you all the interest wc have paid on your subscription. You will be waited upon by a committee soon. Please be prepared to meet a part, or all of yoftr subscription. In behalf of the Board of Trustees. H. V. T a phot. The corps of engineers engaged on the proposed new railroad struck town on Wednesday. They have located the road to an intersection with the A. V. R. R. about half a mile above Falls creek. The course from Brockway ville is crossing the public road near the Sejiram farm to follow the valley to the summit near the line of Lane's road, down mud run and Wolf creek to the A.'V. road. From here they go to Johnsonburg, a point ubout eight miles above Ridgway. They tell us that work will begiu at once, and cut ting away of timber, clearing up a path, etc. will be prsecuted as rapidly as possible.

Our new Octavo nota is small, neat and excellent paper, and price cheap Light running, Latest Improved, DOMESTIC, at prices never heard of before, at Mrs. W. S. Servjce's. The County Newspaper. It Is the best rend paper in the world. No other contains news of the marriages and deaths, to say nothing of the divorces and births; no other relates the accidents happening before the doors of the villagers; no other gives the time for the next ball, picnic or political meeting ; no other discus ses the affairs of the town and country, the arrival of the new goods on the merchant's counters, or a new hat on the editor's desk. Occasionally de fects and errors are overlooked by those who have become attached to it through its perusal for years. They sometimes become dissatisfied with it on account of something which has slipped into its columns, and may stop taking it; but the absence of the fa miliar sheet at their homes or offices, for a few weeks, becomes an insup portable privation, and they hasten to it again, and possibly apologize for having it stopped. No friendship on earth is more constant than that con tracted by the reader of a journal which makes an louest and earnest effort to merit Itsj, continued support. Hence a conscientiously conducted paper becomes a favorite in the family. Lock Haven Journal, Fatat. Accidknt. On Thursday afternoon last, about 8 o'clock, Frank Wesley Gibbs, aged ten years, son of Clias. W. and Mary E. Giblis, residing in Erie avenue, near Twefth street, this place, left his home in company with several playmates, to gather a few butternuts. The boys remained away until about 5 o'clock, when they wended their way home. When they readied a place opposite the residence of B. Burney, they heard the first sec tion of Fast Freight coming in from the east. Frank picked up a stickjuid walked up to the railroad track to tip each car as they passed by, a danger ous piece of amusement frequently in dulged in by older boys. By some un accountable mishap, the lad fell, and was hurled under a car, one wheel passing over his left leg. The little fellow managed to extricate himself from his perilous position, and as soon as the train passed he beckoned his playmates to come to his assistance. His playmates ran up the track and notified some trackmen of the accident The men repured to the scene of ac cident, whore they found little Frank with his leg crushed and bleeding ex cessively. They carried him to the home of his parent, medical aid was immediately summoned, but not withstanding the skill of two physi cians, reaction failed to set in, and at 4:20 Friday morning, death came and relieved him of his sufferings. The deceased was a bright, active, intelligent lad, and was warmly es teemed by his many little associates. The deepest sympathy was manifested by all over his death. His funeral, last Sunday afternoon, was largely at tended. Renovo Itecord. Suture's Triumph. Nature, in her luxuriance, lias clothed the hills and dales with herb and shrub, whose occult natures merely require the earnest application of the scientific and inquiring mind to reveal their curative properties, for in the vegetable world a kindly provi dcuce has placed healing for all na tions. The only specifics for any dis ease yet discovered are vegetable in their nature, and while quinine lias been accepted as tiie only remedy for one class, the extract of the buchu plant is rapidly taking its place as a sovereign remedy for other of those ills which afflict humanity. The type of disease to which it is remedial is a broad one, and its manifestations are legion, but it may be stated in gen eral terms that alfdiseases of the urin ary organs, whether Caused by cli mate, irregularity, or self-generated, submit at once to the operation of its power. Helmbold's Buclj, for all such complaints, is the result of long re search, and is acknowledged superior to all other preparations. Probably no one preparation has received so much praise from, its pat rons, nor is so deserving of commen dation as Hall's Hair Renewer! We but eclio the voice of the millions who have used it when wo pronounce it the best Hair Dressing in the world. It stands unrivaled.
