The Erie Narrow Gauge.
According to President Watson's report made
to the Board of Directors an immediate addition
of 2,000 narrow gauge cars and 100 narrow
gauge locomotives are needed, which the man
agement are about to put under contract. One
hundred and twenty miles of double track will
be laid this season and a third rail connection
has been made between Attica and Buffalo, and
between Painted Post and Waverly,and as soon
as possible it is proposed to narrow the gauge of
ate main line and branches.
Wholeutle Slaughter.
0. M. Flall , of Mungerville, Franklin town
ship, informs us that on Tuesday night, July
2:3, about nine o'clock, he was amused by an
unusual noise and cackle among his poultry, in
his barn. lie went inunediately to aszertain the
Cause, and to his utter astonishment,he found fif
ty of his chickens,some larger and some smaller,
lying scattered about dead,being bitten through
the head. No other trace of the criminal was
discovered, and the guilty party Is supposed to
have been a n easel or a mink.

The attendance was very numerous, large dele

procession was formed of various temperance

It is estimated that at least eight thousand per

Now collar
There was issued from the Mint, at Philadel
phia, last week, a new coin trade dollar. There
is not much to admire in the matter of taste on
the date side. The full length figure, to our
view, is inartistic, and not synunctrical with the
face of the coin. The englii side is much better
.being better coveted, and the words "420 grains
000 tine," is a piece of practical inlormation,we
believe entirely new to our coin.ge. As a new
coin it is in eager demand as pocket pieces and
, utmentoes at 13n, the Mint value being 120.
A New Horse Disease
Several parties in Reading have discovered
symptoms of a now disease among their horses,
which may prove as disastrous as did the epi
zootic of last year. Homes are unable to eat ;
are restless, impatient and feverish. They ar•
troubled with an apparent tickling sensation in
the throat and do not eat their customary quan
tities of food. As yet there is no apparent moo
ble resulting from it, as the homes perform their
work as usual, notwithstanding the fact that
some of them have not been eating much of
anything for several days. Experienced horse
men pronounce it a relic of the disease of last
year.
Another Project.
The Erie Railway Company have engaged
quarters at Port Jervis tor a core: of engineers.

survey from that point to New York, for a
trunk line for the Erie Railway. By tunnelling

the prment route. It will shorten the time be

New Church,.
Ground was broken on Thursday morning
last, 17th inst., for the new Episcopal Church in
Oakland. This will be the first church in that
township. The first Episcopal services ever
held in the township were opened in the School
House last December. Thee• have been contin
ued since, without interruption, every Sabbath
afternoon. The growth of the town and the
willingness of the people to hare a church, are
substantially evinced iu the present movement,
The church will be fret, and hence all may feel
free to belp in the generous movement. A de
tailed description of the work will be given

Will Nitro-Glycerine Explode t
A young man named Abraham Stauffer in the
employ of the C. 4. P. D. IL It Co., and work-
Mg near the borough of Washington, resolved
last week to find out all about it. So he took
one of the very small cans of nitro.glyeerine,no
larger than a pistol cartridge, and,placing it up.
on an iron reit be struck it a sharp blow with
an iron drill. Whca Mr. Stauffer "came to," he
found himself sprawling on the ground, with
b nh feet so badly. lamed that he couldn't get
up, while the middle finger of his left band was
missing, and has not since been beard from.—
Mr. Stauffer's mishap came upon him so sudden
ly that be is not quite certain whether nitro-gly
cerine will explode or not, but he don't mean to
try any more experiments with it.
We ore aoenstonted to see men deride
what they do not understand, and snarl at the

Few men have virtue to withstand the high
est bidder.
Law and equity are two thinga which God
bath joined, hitt which man bath put asunder.
No man is the wiser for his learning ; it may
administer matter to work in,or objects to work
upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a
man.
Suspicion Ls no less an enemy to virtue than
to happiness. He that is already corrupt is nat
urally suspicious, and he that becomes suspic

Important Facts to Builders.
Builders may find some interesting and use
ful information in these statistics gathered from
actual experiment. The trouble arising from the
shrinking of wood led to an investigation into
the comparative merits of different kinds of
wood, in this particular, and it has been found
that unseasoned English oak weighs 62 pounds
2 ounces per cubit foot; seasoned, 48 pounds ,t 4.
ounce; African oak, unseasoned, 64 pounds 1
ounce; seasoned la to 20 years, 00 pounds II
ounces; teak. unseasoned, 98 pounds 11 ounces;
seasoned 19 years, 92 pounds 21i ounces. Salt
appears to have a marvelously preservative ef
fect. Wooden piles driven Into the mud of salt
flats and marshes last far an unlimited time,and
in the salt mines of Poland and Hungary the
galleries are supported by wooden pillara,whlch
are found to last tmnsapaired for ages In cense
quenee of being impregnated with salt, whilst
pillars of brick and stone similarly used are in
suJed by the decay of their mortar.

The Dark Side of a Postal Card
In thealarge offices, says an exchange, the
clerks have no time to closely examine postal
cards, snit in most instances the scoundrel who
harbors ill will toward a man or woman, and
upon whom he de s ires to vent his spleen,has as
surance that his card will pass safely through
the office and be delivered, after being scanned
by a half dozen prurient eyes, perhaps, whose
owners will take ample care that the message is
widely repeated. There is yet great demand
for these cards, and it will no doubt continue
for a while; ,but when the novelty wears off
they will be used in the main for business curds
and as vehicles of seandal. for which they up.
pear so well adapted. It will not be surprising
if the public judgment condemns their Will ere
long, and discards them as completely as is said
to have been done in England.
Visiting Railroad Depots.
In Middletown it is yery customary for the
girls and boys to congregate at the depot In the
evening on the arrival of railroad trains This
habit has iitieni6l one of the preachers of that.
borough so attach that he delivered a sermon on
Sunday inveighing Iteninst it: Ile looked upon
it as it practice well calculated to ruin their
morals. There vulgar and obscene language is
used, and characters whose very touch kpollut•
ing mingle and intermingle with the crowd. In
passing and repassing along the streets leading
to the depot droi es of young persons from ton
to sixteen years may be seen wending their way
toward the railroad in the evening, especially
on Saturday evening. Parents should keep un
eye on this practice it they want to save their
sous and daughters from destruction. Associa
tion has a moulding influence upon character
especially upon character that is in ptocess of
formation.

The Binghamton Inebriate Asylum,
The report of the Binghamton asylum for in
briates for 1872. shows that there was paid by
the patients 01 their friends the eon of $42,-
346.70, while other sources of income brought
up the whole to 853,537.61. This was all ex
pended except $445.34. In January,lB72, there
were 85 patients, it whom 18 were free. Dur
ing the year 240 were admitted, and of these 80
were free. The highest price charged for board
and care is $2O per week ; if the patient or his
friends cann•t raise this sum then the charge is
graduated aeccr , ' 1,; to the available means;
and if there is no ea ens, when there is evidence
that it is a fit case Mr free admission, the pa
tient is admitted. The average price per week
has been $lO. There arc eleven similar institu
tions in eight of the States, and one In the
pnwince of Qii,bec, while another will soon be
in operation in Ontario. Australia and Britain
are moving in the same direction. Of the 249
patients admitted at Binghamton in 1872, 128
had received a common school education ; 90 an
academical, and 31 a collegiate. 122 had intem
perate parents; 189 had been constant drinkers;
237 had winked or chewed tobacco.—only 12
not having used tobacco In any shape ; 3.5 were

Infantile filckfleas.
In these days of infantile sickness the °incr.
vance of the following rules, issued by a medi
cal society, will be productive of good :
1. If the child is suddenly attacked with vom
iting, purging and prostration, send for a doc
tor at once. In the meantime, put the child for
a few minutes In a hot bath, carr..fully wine it
dry with a warm towel and wrap it in warm
blankets. If its hands and feet are cold, bottles
filled with hot water and wrapped in flannel
should be laid against them.
2. A mush poultice or one math bf flax aced
meal, to which one quarter part of mustard
flour has been added, or flannels wrung out of
hot vinegar and water, should be placed over
the belly.
8. Ten drops of brandy in a teaspoonful of
water may he given every ten or fifteen minutes;
bot if the vomiting persists, give the brandy in
equal parts of milk and lime water.
4. If the diarrhoea has just begun, or If it is
caused by Improper food. a teaspoonful of caw
for oil or of the spiced syrup of rhubarb should
bo given.
6. If the child has been fed partly oo the
breast and partly on ether food, the mother's
milk alone must be used. If the child has been
weancd,then It should have pure milk with lime
water or weak beef tea or chicken water.
6. The child should be allowed to drink cold
water freely.
7. The soiled diapers or the discharges shoold
be at once removed from the room, but saved
for the physician to CUD:a= it his telt,
A Doable Headed Child.
The Middletown Mercury toys: On Thursday
of last week near Harvey Roe's saw mill, a
mile and a half or two miles from StaateMown,
a child was born that is literally a double-head
er. The happy father's name is Edward Davis.
He bears his blushing honors meekly, never
seeming to realize the fuel that be Is the father
of a child, who, if life is lengthened to it, may
eventually shine among the attractions of a cir
cus show. The child is a boy, rather larger than
the average size, and with the exception of the
bend, is well-formed and apparently healthy.—
On the back of its regular head we may use
the expression) Is a formation of. about the size
of the crown of a fashionable straw hat, and of
the Shane of an old-bishioned waterfall. That
seta close to the true head and is united to it by
a ligament, very short and two or three Inches
in diameter. The upper part of the deformity
fa covered with hair of considerable length, the
hack of it being entirely bare and of purplish
color. The child has no forehead whatever, its
head sloping directly back from the eyea. Those
who have seen it say tharthe sight is repulsive
in the extreme. It was proposed by Dr. Smil
ey, the physician in attendance, to attempt the
removal of the deformity, but whether the op
eration has been performed as yet we Isere not
learned. The father of the child iv not thought
to be of the average intelllgeme. Of the moth
er we have not learned anything. This is their
first child, and for the Fake of humanity we
trust that it may be their last.

EnrrOlt OF DEMOCRAT—Dear Hir :-111 nn
article in your taut issue of the DF:MoCILVT, you
seem to cast censure on the Directors of the
Montrose Itaihr.ty Company, that in my opin
ion, they do not merit.
Perhaps a short rehearsal of the enterprise,
may best show whether any blame attaches to
any party or otherwise. During the Session of
the Pennsylvania Legislature of 1868-9, An set
was passed authorizing the organization of the
Montrose Railway Company, and naming a
board of Commissioners to open books for the
Subscription to the capital stock, etc.
Late In the summer of 1.869, the Commission
ers named in the act, or a quorum of them, met
in the borough of Montrose, and opened books
for the subset iption to the capital stock, after
receiving some subscriptions they adjourned
from time to time, until stock was subscribed to
an amount of about 1:0,000. During the in
tervening time, the commissioners had cursory
examination or surveys made, 01 these mutes
from Montrose to the Lehigh Valley Road, and
they also employed two gentlemen to go over
the several routes, and obtain releases
for the right of way, for constructing the said
road.
The act of Assembly above referred to, limi
ted the capital stock of the Company to the sum
of one million of dollars. This was found to be
unnecessarily large, and so unwieldy as to ren
der it wholly impossible to organize under It—
Application was then made by the commission
ers and stock subscribers, to the legislature, for
a reduction of the stock to the sum of five
hundred thonsand dollars, and the time for con
structing the road to be extended to five years
thereafter, which being emoted, the board of
commissioners called a general meeting of the
stock subscribers, to be held at Springville, in
April, 1871, for the purpose of electing a Presi
dent and Board of Directors, and thus organiz
ing the Montrose Railway Company.
This meeting was held, at whirls the stock
subscribers, with great unanimity, elected a
Prestdent and Board of Directors, and commit
ted the enterprise into their hands.
The commbeioners then 'passed over to the
board of Directors, the subscription books, and
the releases for right of way, a large bundle.
It was impossible for the directors to know
Just where or how these releases were located,
or which of them would be available, covering
as they do, a line of 28 miles and In different
routes.
The board of Directors, when organized, ap
pointed their otliceraanuong which was an engi
neer, anddlrected him to survey a line of road,
soil make all necessary examinations, and re
port. It was then found, the line which must
be adopted. would cross many properties, the
owners of which hail declined to release, and
also. that in releases obtained, there were con
ditions made, that the company would not,with
due regard to economy accept, hence the disap
pointment in the cost of the right of way. The
board of directors at their first meeting, ap
pointed committees, to adjust their claims for
right of way. and the 'subject has been indefar
igably pressed by them, during the whole
time since. The views of property owners
along the entire line, have been in the main ex
orbitant and exacting, and such as the board
could not justly entertain, though there have
been some very liberal settlements made volun
tarily by land owners along the line.
The proposition made by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company, to this Company, was this.
That if this company would procure the right
of I% ay, and guide a line of road bed, bridges,
and . rolverts, and pay for the same, they (the
Lehigh Valley IL H. C 0.,) would lay thereon the
ties and proper superstructure, and receive in pay
therefor the common stock or the company.
The position of the Lehigh Valley Company,
as exprtssed,throtig,h Judge Packer, is just this.
That the Lehigh Valley Company, will not
consent to have a debt remaining on the road,
for its construction upon which It may be possi
ble their stock shall be endangered, or they be
I placed in a position, whereby it would become
necessary to purchase the road at a public sale,
to save their own stock, and thereby take from
the smaller stock-holders their ownership in
the road, which Is surely very commendable on
his part to protect the small stock-holders. Now
in all this matter, I am unable to see wherein
the board of directors have made mistakes, or
wherein the L. V. R It. Co, have exhibited any
particular degree of sharpness or unfairness.
It was known by the directors at the date of
letting the contract for construction, that addi
tional stock would he required to finish lt,and it
less been stated at all times, and at every meet
ing of the hoard, this subject has been a proini
neut one in their deliberations, and no secret
has ever been made of it.
This narrow• gnge enterprise, hes been, so to
speak, a ph;neer, and has been watched by en
gineers, and railroad men, all over the State,
and were Ito tell you the number of inqniries
I have received, as Secretary of this Company,
and an,yers I have writien to them, you would
:.ay I was yarning, and when I have told them
of the riot of trading, etc., I have scarcely been
believed Ly any, and the unanimous judgment
of all sari; men lueebeen, that very great econ
omy has been ohcerveil by the directors, in the
whole of this enterprise.
Now that it is known, that success is sure
and early attainable, I think it unfair that any
c,nsure .hould be mit upon men, who have for
a groat length of time, devoted their :labors for
the public good, without one cent of remunera
tion for tl a ;line ar espenses, other than that
of the general good, attainable by 1111
whether directors, stockhoklers or citizen.
