Dagni Mines Cornet Band.
Dagus Mines, July 18, 1881.
Eomm Advocate Dear ftlrt
With your permission I would like to
give to the people of Dagus Mines,
Ccntrevllle, and vicinity, through the
columns of The Advocate, a brief
outline of the Dagus Mines Cornet
Band recently organized at this place.
A public meeting was called in the
school house for the purpose of taking
into consideration the best means of
organizing a brass band to be known
as the Dagus Mines Comet Band.
Mr. H. Beadle was chosen chairman,
and the meeting proceeded to appoint
a committee to take subscriptions
from tho merchants of Centrevllle
and the officials at Dagus Mines. A
number of which came boldly to tho
front, and subscribed liberally towards
it. A number of these gentlemen de
serve honorable mention, viz: Hon.
C. R. Earley, of Ridgway, Hon. J. I,.
Brown, of Wilcox, D. Robertson, W.
A. May, J. H. Steel & Co., John
Dowle, James Lusk, J. C. Wharton
ahd Joseph Bailey, of Dagus Mines.
Also J. J. Taylor, John Collins, Dr.
II. Strtessley, and James McCIoskey,
of Ccntrevllle, and a host of others
whom space and time will not permit
our giving at this time. It was also
agreed that Messrs. Dowle and Lusk
take u subscription sheet into the
bank among the miners, which they
did ami a handsome sum was received
from that quarter (for which we ex
tend our SfaST-.) The amount so far
collected was $-'77.00, but finding tlxit
$10!) 00 more was required to purchase
the full set of instruments, we applied
to Mr. Hiuics, General Superintend
ent of the company's work, to solicit
the aid of the company in our behalf,
and are happy to state that he was
successful, for In u few days thereafter
Mr. Robertson received instructions
to pay Into the treasury SlO0.no, mak
ing in all $377.00. The instruments
were purchased from Lyon & Healy,
of Chicago, ami consist of the follow
ing pieces, which are first-class in
every resict: Bb cornets, 1 Eb cor
net, 1 solo alto, 1st and 2d Eb alto, 2
Bb baritones, 1st aud 2d Bb tenor, 1
Bb bass, 2d Eb basses (Helecon style),
buss and side drums and cymbals.
The following are the standing olH
eers of the band : D. Robertson, Presi
dent; Robt. Wilson, Vice President
and Teacher; Johu Dowle, Treasurer;
Henry Beadle, Secretary; C. W. Bar
rett, Drum Major. I may here state
that the band is gettiug along first
rate, and are now ready to take en
gagements for picnics, excursions,
processions, fcc
Not having as yet procured our uni
forms we intend about tho later part
of next month to give a grand enter
tainment at this place (time to be
made known by mammoth poster)
for the purpose of laising funds to
procure the same, and we feel safe in
saying that It will be worth ones
while to attend. No pains will be
spared to make it a grand success and
an honor to the hand. The program
will consist of the following: foot
racing, hurdle racing, wheelbarrow
races, blindfolded and sack races,
throwing the light and heavy ham
mer and many other sports too nu
merous to mention. The band will
be in attendance and discourse some
oj its best music. We also expect the
martial baud of Centrevllle, to be in
attendance in full uniform. Refresh
ments of nil kinds will be on the
grounds and those from a distance can
have lunch at any hour served up in
the best style. At the close of the en
tertainment a grand ball will lie given,
and tiie evening following a grand
vocal and instrumental conceit, of
which notice will be given by posters
This is a grand chance for our friends
from Ridgway, St. Marys, and sur
rounding country, to avail themselves
of the opportunity of visiting one of
the most thriving mining districts in
tire country. A general invitation to
attend the entertainment is extended
to one aud all. A Member

Money hj the Ton.
From the statement at the Phila
delphia mint, which has Just been
completed by Director Burchard and
First Auditor Reynolds, It Is nscer
tained that the operations for the past
fiscal year have been unusually large.
Tiie whole amount of precious metal
received by Superintendent Suowden
was 8,852,505.40 ounces of gold, valued
at $82,902,947.98, and 5,760,904.62
ounces of silver, worth $6,482,870.90.
The amount and value of the bullion
operated Upon by each of the opera
tive offices in the different processes of
coinage was tins largest In the history
or the mint. Tho gold bullion was
290J tous, with a Value of 1.57,500,000,
aud the silver 596 tons, at $20,24.1,000.
Upon this bullion there was a legal
allowance for wastage of 52,872 00
1000 ounces, or $2'7,778.04, but at the
Philadelphia mint the wastage falls
very much below the allowance, being
only 3,407 275-1000 ounces In gold and
silver, with n value or $13,002.2, or
234,170.09 less than Is allowed by the
treasury department.
In addition to the precious metals
there were coined 88,835,005 pieces of
five, three and one-cent coins, equal
in weight to 132 tons.
In the final count and weighing
there were found to be in the hands of
the superintendent iu coin and bul
lion 1,450,001 965-1(100 ounces of gold
and 2,43:1,003 5GI-VU0 ounces of silver
with a total value of $4(1,020,100. The
weighings and count made this
amount on hand correct to a cent, as
charged ujmmi the books of the department.
The Attempt on Andrew Jackson's Life.
An official at Washington has
looked up the facts in the case of the
attempted assassi nation of President
Andrew Jackson. It took place Jan
uary at), 183;. rresuieni jacKson was
passing through the rotunda of the
ipltol, attending the funeral of a
member of congress, accompanied by
gentleman on either side of him.
lie was walking alone and did not
notice the approach of Richard Law
rence, nn Englishman, n house painter
by trade, who drew a pistol from un-
ler bis cloak and fired. Being a flint
lock tho powder did not catch and no
x plosion took place. He then drew
a second pistol, but that too did not
go off. Lawrence was arrested but
lever brought to trial. He was sent
lo an insane asylum and as lar as
known never came from there. It
was found that he was insane and la
bored under the Impression that
Jackson's policy lad brought about

The new wheat crop is already
coming into mantel, it is in goou
condition and of excellent quality
The Cincinnati Enquirer says the
present crop promises to be largo, tie
spite the noble cflorts of the indivniu
als to the contrary. A few slight
failures of production in isolated
sections of the country were magni
fled Into a ceneral decrease, but
figures have been published that dis
pel the pet theorys of the croaker. It
was reporteu that the crop of Illinois
would fall short twenty-five or thirty
million bushels, ami that Ohio would
not yield as much this year by fifteen
to seventeen million bushels as it did
last year. To offset these wild views
the official estimate of the Department
if Agriculture of Illinois shows that
the decrease in that State will be but
2,630,000 bushels, aud the Secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture of
of Ohio shows an nctual gain of 700,
000 bushels. Since croaking for
speculative purposes has so signally
failed In these two States, for all late
eports indicate that in certain locali
ties, where there ,we)-e well-grounded
fears that the straw would be thin, It
has 'headed" out much better than
anticipated, aud there will be a fair
yield. In laying plans for a short-
crop scare the spring wheat was
entirely overlooked. From all spring
w heat growl ng sections come favorable
reports of the good condition of the
crop, ana tne prospect oi a largely
increased production. Kansas was
also overlooked in the calculation.
The large increase of acreage of
winter wheat in that State was not
taken into account, perhaps because it
was too1 great a subject to handle.
There is now not much doubt the
crop of 1881 will Amount to 450,000,000
bushels, ami may exceed these figures,
for the gain in the productions of
spring wheat is difficult to estimate,
and this, taken together with the fact
that the yield of winter wheat will
fall but little. If any, below that of
lost year, the estimate of 50,000,000
bushels, which was the yield In 1879,
may be considerably below the actual
quantity, aud the crop may yet be
swelled to the unusually large quan
tity of 880,000,000 bushels, which was
the production In 1880.

A Ridgway,-correspondent of the
Pittsburg Leader, whose thrilling de
scriptive ability would secure him a
position In a larger town, sends the
following Fourth of July item to that
paper)
On Monday, July 4, an engine on
the Philu. & Erie railroad, bound
westward at Siuneiualioiilng station,
In some unknown way, while the en
gineer and fireman were off at some
other business, got detached from the
train and bounded down the track at
the rate of forty miles an hour. At
the rale of speed It was traveling it
would arrive about two miles west of
Driftwood as the eastward bound train
was due at that place. Something hud
to be done aud done quickly, or the
train aud its whole load of human
freight would bo dashed Into eternity;
who would save them from destruc
tion? Mr. Will J. Tourman bounded
on tiie platform bound to board the
flying engine. All remonstrance was
in vain, nothing could stop him. He
pulled off his coat and got ready for
his flying and desperate leap. Five
minutes to spare, he knelt for prayer
for fully three minutes, and arose
cool aud calm. He looked like a
guardian angel as he stood straight as
an arrow with such a peaceful smile
on his countenance. His prayer
Kind Heavenly Father guide my foot
steps as I make this attempt to save
human life, and if I am dashed Into
eternity be thou with me there.
Please, kind Father to take care of
Minnie, and if I am lost may kind
people carry the news to her, and tell
her that I never forgot hit In death.
I commend my soul lo thee, God,
Amen. At last she is in sight. He
makes ready for the fatal spring, 150
yards. He starts to run; everybody
stands breathless. At last they are
even. Hurrah! he is aboard; soon all
will be safe. He stopped her and
kicked into tho siding just as the
eastward-bound train dashed by at a
flying rate. He Jumped oil' the engine
amid the cheers of hundreds who
flocked to see one who risked his life
for others. We must say the young
lady ho spoke of in his prayer should
be proud of such a brave you.ig man,
who could give up his life freely for
others and remember her so dearly in
ills prayer.
Garfield's Chance.
I'll take that chance," said Gar
field, "aud make tho most of it."
He has been taking his chances all
through life, and m.iklug the most of
them.
He had a chance a bare chance
In the start, but he cut through it with
the woodman's axc,he mowed through
is with the scythe, lie worked his way
over it by manual labor, and he made
the most of it in the country school.
He had a chance at Hiram College
and before many years was its honored
president.
He had a chance in the .State Senate
and proved himself one of the most
industrious, most intelligent, and
most useful legislators the state has
ever had.
He had a chance to defend the Union
aud that he made the most of It his Ma
jor General's straps soon told a mere
one at Chickamauga and the ride
that he took through peril aud death to
the side of Thomas, and the fight that
he made there, tell in the imperish
able light of history whether the
chance was lost or won.
He had a chance at the National
capital. The legislation, tho reforms,
the history that has been made, iu the
pa.st twenty years tell better than we
can how he improved tiie opportunity
that the lottery of human events had
opened to him.
Chicago gave him a chance. He
improved it so well that by October
his name was a household word in tbe
land; aud the election chance was his
in consequence.
He took the chance of being Presi
dent without dictation, and of doing
fearlessly what he thought it his duty
to do. There was aecknowledgcd po
litical danger in it, and events have
shown that it held a great personal
and physical danger, but he met it.
He won the moral light; and the
splendid struggle that bis strong
frame is maklug against physical
death gives hope that his last and
greatest chance will indeed be "made
the most of." Cleveland Herald.

The clerks are, of course, down on

opened a store door, and sticking her

"Bay mister, have you got any

"No," said the clerk, not very po

A. Remarkable Horse-
Forest Commonwealth.)
Judge Proper's horse Jim was
and killed a few mornings nyo
shot
as a
mutter of mercy to him. He was 28
years old bust May, and maintained
his lively colt like appearance until
last fall, when his teeth failed, after
which he subsisted upon boiled feed
until spring, when he was turned to
good pasture, but still grew more
feeble until life appeared to be a bur
den to him. He did one extraordi
nary feat in the winter of lSG.'J which
caused the Judge's family to form a
warm attachment for him. The Tio-
ncsta creek wtis quite higu and run
ning full of lee. Mr. Proper and Geo.
V. Walters were taking a load of flour
to their mill on Ijlttle Coon creek, and
when they arrived at the creek it was
night and quite dark. A boat just
largeenough to carry a team and loaded
wagon was the mode of crossing. Iu
attempting to drive upon the boat the
wagon slipped upon the frozen ground
and two of the wheels missed the
boat, ran into the ice aud deep water,
upset tbe wagon aud threw the load
and horses into the stream. The
horse attempted to swim to the oppo
site shore, but unfortunately the
wagon caught upon some rocks or
drift in the middle of the stream ; the
horses struggled there until one was
drowned when the Judge, thinking
they were fast, called to Jim to gee,
which he did, aud by so doing loosen
ed the wagon. Mr. Proper thcu told
Jim to come to him, which he bravely
did by swimming against the current
and ice and drawing the wagon and
dead horse with him. When- he
reached the shore ice a road- was cut
through it to shore, aud when the
harness was removed Jim vas told to
Jump up the bank,, which was near
seven fcot perpendicular, which he
did, noth withstanding he had been in
the water nearly an hour. Sixty
miles per day was his distance wheu
traveling. His burial was quite a
solemn one to the family.

"I Don't want that Stuff."
Is what a lady of Boston said to her
husband when he brought home some
medicine to cure her of sick headache
and neuralgia which had made' her
miserable for fourteen years. At the
first attack thereafter, it was adminis
tered to her with such good results
that she continued its use until cured
and was so enthusiast io in its praise,
that she induced' twenty-two of the
best familes In her circle to adopt it as
their regular family medicine. That
"stuff" is Hop Bitters. Standard.
