A wild deer came down the road
from Boot Jack on Monday, passed
over to the Ridgway House and thence
across the hill and along the road by
the upper rows of tannery houses.
Lieutenant Horton and James Rhines
followed the trail of the deer and sue
ceeded in capturing it and brought it
in.
In the matter of the petition of
the citizens of Ridgway for a borough
before the November term of court,
the petition was refused although it
contained 43 names of property own
ers while the remonstrance contained
but 16 owners of property. In other
words the grand jury saw fit, in its
mighty wisdom (?) to decide against
the law and the evidence. And the
only reason given by those voting
against the petition was that two more
delegates would be elected in the
proposed borough to future Democrattc
county conventions. Was ever oath
of juryman imperilled on such slight
pretext? Was ever such sublime igno
rauce made an excuse for such gross
and uncalled for injustice? What
remorse must seize the man who, act
ing under the solemn oath of a grand
Juryman, would allow his political
prejudice to blind his eyes to right? We
will refer to this matter in our next
Itsue.
Cleu. Grant's Power or Self-loutroll,
From the New York Post, Itep.
Evideptly among the other qualities
of General Grant is an extraordinary
power of self-control. How many men
could have gone turougu bucu an ex
nerieuce as his of the last three years
and borne themselves as he has done?!
Wedo not mean public men of the Un it-
ed States merely, but of any part of the
world. How many of them would
have avoided an exhibition of the
smaller liumau weaknesses, intense
Men c-oiisciuusut.-&a. nio jwui
vanity and conceit Intolerable egotism
and other tiresome incidents of an of
fensive personality? How many of
the Disraelis, with their theatrical pois
ingsand studied effects, would have
done so? How many of the fluent
and restless and fussy Gladstones?
Hqav many men anywhere, except
those royally born to formal adulation
and taught to receive it, with formal
'indifference, as a mere formality?
General Grant has never once failed to
put the country foremost not with
au affected modesty, in the character
of the humble and self-sacrificing ,
patriot, but with a uulet, manly sln-
utu u ujuttcr in eoui.-e.

TlilCT. The formation of supervisors' dis
tricts under the provisions of the
census net, of March 3, lSy.l, has been
completed by Superintendent Walker,
except in regard to the states of Mas
sachusetts and California. The list
has been approved by Secretary
Sehurz. The details arc of interest,
for the reason, uiuong others, that the
appointment of supervisors must be
made iu each Instance by select ion
from applicants residing within the
boundaries of the respective districts.
These officers, which will practically
control the thousands of appointments
necessary for the work of taking the
census, are to be filled by the 1st of
January. General Walker says that
in the formation of districts reference

of.4)Uumerttt5onduCto the geographi

conditions' of settlement, ' occupation
and intercommunication. It results,
as was to be expected, thnt the dis

in territorial extent. New Vork is di
vided into eleven districts, New Jersey
throe, Maine two, Connecticut two,
Ohio eight. The slates of New
Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island,
Delaware, Colorado, California.
Oregon and Nevada, the District of

A Valuable Mciiichic.
Buchu in various forms bus for
many years been one of the chief ar
ticles in the Materia Medico, for the
treatment of certain diseases, among
which are chiefly those affecting the
urinary, digestive, and circulatory
organs. The difficulty that was long
experienced iu obtaining a preparation
of this valuable drug that could always
be refied upon for uniformity in
strength and absolute purity led to the
introduction of Helmhold's Extract of
Buchu, which for the last quarter of u
bentury has been extensively used
both by physicians and iu house and
family practice, und with very gratify
ing success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, bus been
extensively imitated, und those who
have use for it will do well to see that
they obtain tho genuine "Helmbold

preparation.
