Workmen are now busily engaged
excavating for the foundation to the
steps for the front of the new Court
House. Before many weeks the steps
will be placed iu position, and in a
short time thereafter the court house
yard will be graded, the fence repaired

our beautiful county building.
Win. H. Kemble has renewed his
bail in the sum of $5,000. While
under oath Mr. Kemble wus usked if
he would attend at the time specified
for sentence; to which he replied:
"Yes, I will be hereon the 20th if I
am alive. I do not intend to run
away. I cannot afford it." All of the
famous legislative bribers and roosters
are now out on bail awaiting their
sentence at the time above named.
A little child numed Murphy, near
Wilmarth, was accidentally burned
to death about ten days ago. The
child, a little girl, was out in the
woods near the house, and having some
matches set the dry leaves on fire
which quickly communicated to her
clothing, the flames being increased
by the child's running. The other
children present screamed which soon
brought the mother to the scene, but
too late, the child dying in a few
hours in terrible agony.
The pigeons are now nesting on
their old nesting ground In Forest
county. Hunters are continually
passing through this village with guns
and nets going in the direction of the
pigeon grounds. Lieuts. Horton and
Rhines and H. H. Wensel succeeded
in getting about four hundred birds on
a recent tour. Milt Slight made a
good haul on Saturday, and others
have bagged more or less of the birds.
Even our devils have been there and
returned with a more or less large
number. Going pigeoning is right in
fashion here at present, we have even
heard it hinted that the editor of the
Democrat is going to take in the sport,
and as for us, if some benevolently
inclined citizen should take pity on us
and grapt the loan of a gun, why then
in that case, of course the editor's
Wife will have her hands full picking
pigeons which is equivalent to saying
that we will go.
By au accident near the Eugle
Valley mill on Monday last, Judge
Whitmore came within an ace of loss
Ingateamof horses, and Robt. Mo
Chesney, the driver, had a close call
for bis life. The horses became fright
ened at a passing mail train and made
a straight line for the railroad track
but a few rods away, by the presence
tf mind of the driver, they were
turned from a direct course when
hear the crossing, the sudden change
throwing the horses on their backs
at the same time upsetting the heavy
load of lumber on the wagon at the
time of the runaway. At almost the
same moment the train thundered by,
an after investigation showing that
there was but a few feet to spare be
tween where the nearest horse lately
stood and the track. One horse was
slightly injured, while a new wagon
tongue was needed to take the place
of the old one which would not have
been recognized by an intimate friend.
And thus what might have been a
serious accident turned out to be an
Very unimportamt oue.

At the meeting of the Democratic
County Committee last Tuesday, Jno.
G. Hull was selected as representative
delegate to the Democratic state con
vention. At the store of W. H. Hyde& Co.,
may be seen, at least we saw it, one
of the newest, neatest, prettiest, hand
iest, and nobbiest, baby carriages we
have ever had the fortune or misfor

one wish to buy a baby.
J. W. Morgcster has moved his
grocery store and household goods
into his own building recently pur
chased of Geo. Rhines. His new
store room shows off to excellent ad
vantage the goods displayed on the
shelves, and is a great improvement
over the one recently vacated.
J. S. Hyde's steam mill near the
Toby farm house was entirely con
sumed by fire on Friday last. The
Are originated from a spark blown
from the stack, while the men em
ployed about the mill were at dinner,
and had gained such great headway
when discovered that it was inpossi
ble to save the mill. No lumber was
burned owing to the fact that the
wind blowed iu an opposite direction.
The loss is from $3,000 to $10,00J, with
no insurance. The mill was well
stocked and the loss by having to wait
to rebuild is of no inconsiderable im
portance. The work of rebuilding the
mill will be commenced without de-

The Yoeum-Curtin contested elec
tion casein which all our readers have
a family interest, seems not to be much
nearer a settleni"nt than it wus six
mouths ago. Mr. Springer, chairman
of the house election committee, mukes
a terrible effort about twice a week on
the average to have a vote taken on
this now world-renowned case, but
e ich and every time thus far, a great
big Democratic brother member has
sudenly remembered that he had an
other little piece of business on bund
of more immediate importance than
the settlement of Yoeum Curtin, on a
vote being taken the other members
of the house have invariably thought
so too, thus disposing of th- white
elephant for the present. No prophet
will attempt to prophesy just when or
iu what manner this matter will end,
of one thing, however, there is reason
able certainty, as. all things have an
end so shall this, although the end
may be the swearing in of the new
member to be elected next November.
Among the other suddeu advances
in price, consequent upon the alleged
return of more prosperous times, the
steady increse of fair prospects for our
lumber dealers is one that most deeply
concerns the people of a large section
of country iu this purt of the state.
Hemlock bill stuff, for Instance, which
sold two years ago for seven dollars a
thousand board measure now readily
commands nine and ten dollars. Nor
does this advance in price seem to be
a temporary one, to last for a few days
or months, but indications, such as
prominent buyers making contracts
for large quaniies and for long periods,
the great number of new buildings be
ing erected in all sections of the coun
try, and the ready cash that awuits all
shipments seem to warrant the belief
that our lumbermen are to have an
unexampled era of prosperity, which
shall compensate them for the dark
clouds of solemn import that have for
so many years threatened to close on
them iu bankruptcy and ruiu. The
opinion is prevalent that instead of
teu dollars being the ruling price a not
far distant future will show an advance
to twelve dollars and perhaps, more.
Several lumbermen iu this section
have advanced the wages of their men
which will soon compel all others to
follow suit, until in a short time we
will have a little boom right here at
home which will be of mutual benefit
to all twrtiee interested.

The following was written in reply
to an article which was published a
few Weeks since in the Corry Weekly
Ilerrald:
The greatest of the christian graces
is that of charity which "sufl'ereth
long and is kind," which cun look
with unprejudiced eye into the heart I
and mind of its fellows, and see virtue
and truth written there; which ever
sheds a radiance of light, and sparkles
with the rich gems of faith, hope and
love.
Such, we believe, is the truly catholic
spirit of christian love, und no person
is truly christian until they possess
those higher elemcuts of character
which are embodied iu the above
text
Harsh epithets, vulgar and abusive
personals cannot emanate from a mind
whose hopes are based upon thedcclara-
tions of holy writ.
Christian love Is Unit broad sympa
thy which can see the name christian
written above the ensign of each de
nomination, and which can affiliate in
spirit sympathy with sister churches.
We hold that the great principles of
religious truths, which are the founda
tion and bulwarks of every organiza
tion are of divine origin, and hence
are sacred and should be and aro dear
to the heart of every true christian.
Matters of mere doctrine are of minor
importance. The great question pre
sented to the mind is, "Have I faith
upon the Lord Jesus Christ?" 'Can
I follow the teachings of him who
said. A new commandment I give
unto you, that ye love one another?"
The distinctive features iu polity
forms, names, etc', of the Various
branches of the great christian church,
are iu the main, the work of finite be
ings.
Their great principles have their
source In the mind of the infinite.
While we may conform, for the time
to the forms of the one, as intelligent
beings, we have the right to carefully
weigh those various forms and polities
und change our relations without sev
ering our allegiance to the principles
of truth which arc the uniting links
which should hold in oue common
bond of unity and fellowship the en
tire church.
Any mau may, from honest motives
and deep convictions, change his
views aud his position, it is his inalieu
ble right. Much has been suid re
cently iu relation to the action lately
taken by-several gentlemen in their
eluirts to unite two weak societies Into
one strong and vigorous church.
For over two years this sentiment
had prevailed among a number of
those who have been the most liberul
in their support of Christianity, and
have contributed most freely towards
funds for the erection of church edifi
ces in Ridgway.
The societies, in the main, draw
their support from the liberal business
men who are not members, but who
recognizing the utility of churches,
have ever given generously. These
men have often murmured at the ex
cessive church tax, and in their wish
for a union have seconded the desire
of some of the leading spirits iu both
Presbyterian and Methodist societies.
The heavy debt which had for years
hung over the M. E. Church, was the
skeleton which had driven from its
doors many who would have knocked
for admission.
Each society found it difficult to
raise a living salary for their pastor.
Again, these people had worshipped
together in former years, and it
seemed possible and desirable now.
We have stated our reasons for action.
We shall now show Rev. Squire's re
lation to the congregational formed
here last S-.ibbatli. When Rev. Squier
came here he early iuforiut-d the
leaders iu the church here of his de
termination to withdraw from the M.
E. church as early us the close of the
year, but that while here he should
labor hard in the interest of the church.
This he did, throwing into the work
all of his great energy and power thus
gaining upon the hearts of the people
a strong hold. He was iu his ministry
here, loyal to the cause of Christ,
preaching night uftcr night, for wetks,
sermons which for depth and force ure
unsurpassed by any we have heard.
Our position became embarrasing.
We could, not, by the most earnest ef
fort raise a sufficient amount for his
support. He was notified of the fact,
and he at once saw thai he must soon
leave. Attacked through the Erie
press with holding congregational sen
timents he declared by a published
card iiis intentions.
We had euuvussed the town and
found t hut the most of our citizens
were favorable to our long talked of
project. Eight of the trustees and
sewards were for it. Nearly the whole,
official board, the wealth aud intelli
gence were for it. Rev. Squier was
prevailed upon to remain for a time,
and organize our new society. He of
course occupied the parsonage, and
had his study iu one of the class-rooms.
He expressed a desire to move out.
The trustees told him to remain for
the present, as they had no use for
them for the time. Asa man, as a
christian minister, as a bold and fear
less preacher, he has been, during his
stay among us, a model of excellence,
and the men who attack him, stoop
from the level of true manhood.
The spirits which lead here are only
reponsible for this movement. Rev.
Squier is their minister, and they will
defend him. With malice toward
none aud with charity toward all,"
we hold our banner firm and high.
