C. W. SERVICE.
Ridgway, Pa., December 5, 1807.
A Biter Bitten. One day last
week, one of our citizens, who is wclU
known to his neighbors as an inveterate
goker, finding himself in need of a coal
hod, placed some money in the hands of
the Brookville stage-driver, and direct
ed him to buy the desired article, and
fcaid something about " not wishing to
patronize a one-horse blacksrrith shop."
Tn nmririntnr of ! Vi-wM " vuw-
horse blacksmith shop " by Borne means
got wind of the arrangement, and be
tween himself and the driver, sent a
coal-hod along with the stage to Brock,
wayville, and returned with it tho same
vening, the carriage of it both wayt
oosting forty.five ceuts more than it ho
had went to the " one-horse blacksmith
shop," and bought one
We advise our readers to say nothing

Grace Church. This edifice is
about being completed, and we as a
journalist, take it upon ourselves to give
our readers a brief description of it.
Sinoe the village of Ridgway was first
started, we believe, in 1S22 its deni
zens, until now, havo bad no place to
return thanks to the Omnipotent for his
couutless blessirjn-s, except tho Court
House or the old school house at the
lower end of the village. But we are
now clad to chronicle that we have, at
latt, a church which will reflect no dig.
credit on our beautiful town.
The building is located on Centre
street at the head ot Mill street. The
architecture is Gothic ; on the northeast
corner is a Epire 90 feet in he'ght, with
a compartment for a belfry, in which
we understand, it is the intention to put
a bell during tho present winter. The
epire is surmounted by a beautiful gild
ed cross. The main building is 24x57,
and a chancel in the rear 14x15, with a
vestry room attached. The auditory is
provided with thirty-two pews, sufficient
to comfortably seat 250 persons, and is
finished to 'the ridge, each side of the
arch from the plates to the comb bein
calcimined in a blue color, and tho part
from the plates to the wainscotting cal
ciaiinod in imitation of stone. The
chancel is raised sixteen inches from the
main floor. The windows of the church
are to be made of stained gloss, one or
two of which will probably be memorial.
The arrangement for heating is admira
ble ; being heated by a portable base
burning furnace a new patent put in
by Mr. C. W. Service, which so far has
given entire satisfaction.
The painting, graining and calciniiu"
ing was done under the personal super
vision of Mr. Wm. P. Williams, and is
a master piece of workmanship.
The architect and builder, Mr. Mars,
ton, certainly deserves praise for the
prompt and efficient manner in which
he has done his work. The ground for
the foundation was broken on the 25th
of July last, and the carpenter work
rommenoed on the 27th of August, and
dow, on the 19th of December, we have
a church.
Our community owo a debt of grati
tude to the ladies of Ridgway for their
effort in raising funds in various ways
to go towards its completion and erection.
We learn the dedicatory services will
take plaee on Cbrigtmaj,

The Gem or the Monthlies. The Jan.
uary number of Demorest, now entering
its sixth year, redeems the promises of the
publisher for 18G8. It Is the most attrac
tire of the fashion periodicals, and deserves
the bucccss which it has achieved. Its aim
is to combine the useful with the beautiful,
and it does it ia the best manner. It sup
plies to ladies a fount of inspiration, which
none who have once tasted could live, keep
house, and dress nicely without : and saves
more dollars in a year than its cost. It is a
marvol how valuable premiums can be afi
forded with a magazine so costly in its get-ting-up.

BSf The good work undertaken by the

phia, for the endowment of the Riverside
Institute as a National Homo and College
for the orphans of those soldiers at the Na
tional Refreshment Saloon of thatoity goes
bravely on. That their noble object may
bo most surely accomplished, they have is'
sued Dve scries of Steel Plate Engravings,
one of which fs given with every share of
stock sold, at prices much below their re
tail value. In connection with this superb
inducement, every shareholder is guaran
teed a present in the great distribution of
$300,000. Many of them are quite for
tunes of themselves. We notice that one is
worth as high as $40,000, another twenty,
another eighteen, one ten thousand, one
fire, two $2,500 each, and a largo number
ranging trom tiny to one thousand each.
