Recently the report of ti jury, wh'uli had been uppoiuted to view and lay out a -oad, written with this ink, was laid aside because it had become oblit erated by the light. This sort of ink is only good for love letters, where the writer wjuld bo glad to have what is written blot ted out in a week. It comes the nearest to saying nothing of anything you can get, but it wasn't made for business. Why is the north star like a wet nurse ? Because it is iu the " milky way." Why are sluggards like roses ? Because they arc generally in a bed. Why is a negro's mouth liks a Bible f Because it's not read till it's open.

We Inve auolher corner in coal. Last winter we shivered for weeks because Western shippers monopolized the shipping facilities on the I & V.. road. The eame has occurred again. Many are short of coal, and some are completely out, with a poor prospect of get t injr a supply. It oo ours to us that tho railroad company ought not to allow this state of things. It can't very well afford to neglect the local trade and make enemies of the people along the linn, when it eaa be avoided by a little at. tcution. We are in receipt oi a new paper tho Western Penntyfoanian lately started in Erie city, under the auspices and manage ment of B. F, II. Lynn, foimcrly of the Dispatch. To our notion tho location is not as desirable a one as we should select, yet wethiuk that Mr. Lynu's iudcfatigable perseverance, along with a lengthy experi ence in the jourualislio lino, will override all obstacle's. The paper is a model of ty pographic neatness, is independent in poli tics, and we trust it will meet with encour agemcut commensurate with its descrvings. Do you want a stove ? If so, go to Ser vice's, aud got one. We found it necessary a few days ago to have a room in tho upper part of our hoose heated. We called to see Service, when he immediately put us up a stove, and when ho left gave orders to use no wood or coal in it. We have not done so, but the room is heated to a charm By adding a little coal twico a day to the stove in tho room below, we have two rooms comfortably heated, thus saving a large amount of coal, which costs money, and besides is scarce just now. We notice tb.it our neighbors, Powell & Kimc, as usual, have their magnificent store filled to overflowing with choice and seasonable goods. They still are, as they have ever been, tho regulators of prices for this market" They still believe in keeping prices down to tho low water mark. They keep everything used by the lumbermen, and people geuerally. They are selling pure Corn and Oats Chop Feed at 2.10 per hundred weight; Wagner's Best XXX Bellcfouto Flour at 87.50 per barrel. Fork and all othtr Western Produce, at Erie prices, with only transportation added. Fatal Railkoad Acciuext. A some, what serious railroad accident occurred on the P. & E. Railroad, five miles cast of this place on Saturday morning lust, which re sulted iu the killing of a brakeman uud the total demolition of five freight cars. The accident was caused by the first freight train jiuug west becoming stuck iu the snow which had drifted into the cut, and the ' second freight train coming along shortly alter, and not discovering anything wrong until too late to check thy speed, rau iuto the first train with the above sad result. Many of our readers will be pained to learn that Mr. Hiram Woodward, ot Pcnn field, Clearfield county, was dangerously iir jured by a gun in his own hands ou Tues day of last week. He wm out hunting, and, coming to a log-slide, he stopped to talk vtitli the person attending it. While engaged ij conversation he took thi gun from his shoulder and set it ou the side of the slide Suddenly the gun slipped from its vesting place, and the hammer striking ti the log, discharged it the ball entering Mr. W's left arm near tho wrist, emerging just below the elbow, aud lodging near tho -houldcr. The injuries he sustained are of a serious nature, and may prove fatal. Til K future prospects of the Advocate arc flattering. Whru we assumed control it was our expectation that a great number of our subscribers would leave us, but in this we have been disappointed. Except a'few iu the dark corners of Fox, whom we suppose do not waot to hear the local uews, there are none of any account gone back on us. We wish to iucrcase our circulation, and whoever reads this article, let them ask their neighbor to subscribe. Remem ber that a newspaper is a sort of a joint stock concern that the more patronage it receives, the better uble will the publisher be to give them on interesting paper. Send us all matters of local interest that occur iu your neighborhoods. We will make our paper worthy of your patron age if you do your part. FEionTruL Uaii.hoa1 Accident. At about half past five o'clock on Tuesday evening last, the mail train going west on the Philadelphia and Erie railroad collided with a freight train near l'uttonia, about seven and a half miles this side of Warreu. The locomotives are complete wrecks, and the baggago car is telescoped " iuto the smoking car, which very fortunately was nearly if oot quite unoccupied. The first report stated that no one was killed and the injuries were chiefly . slight, but we have since learned that out of twelve per sons injured, ten are seriously hurt, three of whom may Dot recover. Following fa a list of casualties so far as we have obtained them : li. Ilorrpl, fireman, arm and hip ; John SpafTord, mail agent, aide and bead j Martin M'Laughlin, engineer cf mail train, side and bip : J. M'Geverny, baggage master, head and side ; A. Quirk, newsboy, bead ; J. Kline, Warren, arm broken, and hurt in head; D T, Hall, Kane, breast and bead ; D. Bullitts and 1. Burke, firemen, both hurt in bead ; Culbertson, telegraph repairer, bruised ; one unknown person hurt in breast. Our townsman, Hon. Hen ry Souther, with his lady, were on the train, but being in the rear car, fortunately escaped uninjuied. A change will be found this week in in the time table of the Allegheny Valley Railroad. W .
