Ik county are about to have a new bridge elected across tho Clarion River at West end of tho village, and it seems to be the ioipressiou with many that an iron bridge will be the kind selected. Now while the county is putting a sub btautial and perjiauent structure here we think the citizens of. llidgway should endeavor to have it put in such position as will make as good an ap pearance as possible. For this reason the bridge should be run more directly East and West than tho present one, and thus bring Main street into better shape. This would necessarily require either cutting a new channel further north for Elk Creek, which is eaoh year encroaching on the street and at every flood everflowing the same, or the wall ing up tho south bank of the stream and filling vp the street. We are more in favor of the first suggestion as by this means no possible chance could exist of washings; and thiuk the better appearance of the town would pay for the trouble.

The Telegraph, published at the State Cap tal, is one of the best papers published in the State.

Interesting to Mecuanics. Preparations are now making to carry into effect the new law concerning the issue of patent office reports. Pamph lets will be issued describing each pat ent, and these, besides being sent to ap plicants for patents, may be subscribed for by others. The office will fix a price near the cost price for each speci fication, and munufactuiers and others interested in a special class of inven tions can make a deposit of from one to five dollars with the office, and all the patents in any class desired will be sent, and the cost charged against the deposit till it is exhausted. The price will not bo over one cent per copy on the average, and the whole cost to the patent office under this system will not exceed 8120,000, which is less than half the cost of the old reports. The plan will be put iuto immediate opera tion to that extent. tlarrisburg Tele craph, - Keep the Boys in at NrauT. Worse than the shad flea of early spring or the gnats nnd mosquitoes of summer is tho chorus of howling boys. Like the dogs of Constantinople, they travel the streets and alleys when darkness sets in and forgotten by parents and guard ians, they wander to end fro alter some thing to satisfy their hideous uiirib. Pime and a;;ain has the attention of careless parents been called to the dan gerous consequences resulting from this want of disciple, but many indulgent parents cannot be brought to feel the tremendous responsibility resting upon them, and so year after year and generation after generation will the paths of vice and infamy be filled with men who received their early bias to ward evil ways, in the night saloon. Liberty is not license to do all that the misconstructed judgement suggests, and many a father has beheld with bit ter tears the results of liceoso to bis offspring. The inherent vice of human nature is developed like plants in a hot bed of vile compost, whea the surround ings are of a favorable character. And the darkness of night with convenient dry goods boxes for seats, and a dozen boys to occupy theiu, will start a growth of evil deeds that all the subsequent teachings of virtue may fail to eradi cate. Erie Republican. The Fiquke Five. Any number of figures you may wish to multiply by 5 will give the same result if divided by 2, a much quicker operation; but you must remember to annex a cipher to the answer, when there is no remain der; and when there is a remainer, an nex a 5 to the answer. Multiply 4 64 by 5, and the answer will bo 2,320; di vide tho same Dumber bv 2. and vou have 232, and, as there is no remainder. you add a cipher. Now take 857, and multiply by a, the answer is 1.785. On dividing 857 by 2, there is 178, and a remainder; you then place a 5 at the end ot the result, which gives 1,785. The reason of this process is obvious, since multiplying by 5 is the same as multiplying by 10 (which is effected by placing a cipher to the right of the unit's place) aod dividing by 2.

Hia master from the shore replied "The boat's about, to sail, And every other means you've tried, Suppose you twist his tail." "It's likely that will make him land." The deck man brave though pale Approached him with his outstretched hand, To twist that there mule's tail. There crime a sudden kick behind! The man oh! Where was he! Ask of the softly blowing winds, The fishes in the sea! For a moment there was not a sound As that mule winked his eye, As though to nsk of those around, "Now how la that for big h?"

S Whitney, founder and proprietor of this vuluuble family journal, has recently associated with himself Mr. E. Moss, of Allenlown, stationer and publisher of the Lehigh Patriot. The business will hereafter be carried on under the title ot Moss & Whitney. Mr. Moss brings to the enterprise a ripe experience and good executive ability. He will take charge of the financial department of the business, leaving Mr. Whitney free to devote more time to hia editorial la bors. The success which has thus far attended the Ledger, is an evidence of what pluck and determined effort will accomplish. But something more is wanted in these days; capital and good financial management. These valuable aids arc (secured in the incoming of Mr. Moss, and, as improvements are to be mado in both papers that will add much to their value, there is no doubt that both journals will soon attain to greater usefulness and give abundant evidence of success.

At the National Camp-Meeting, held atDukington, in the summer of last year, a !e f Christians met in a tent for prayer. The subject which brought them lozether ivas the unsaved condi tion of tw.i notable individuals living in two different cities, and fur away Irom these who were met in secret council to plead for their iimtipdiiite salvation. In the patience of faith, they waited on the Lord, and in long and earnest supplica tion laid their cause belore the great Judge. Two n onths or more had rolled away when the confidently cxpeoted answer appeared. But how opposite the re sults Unn ot the subjects ot then pleadings, who had lived to old aire, be. came hardened in opposition to Christi anily, openly expressing his aversion and tl.at in the most contemptuous spirit ana tnanuer. J his man, bein one evening in the parlor of his man sion, suddenly felt arrested by an tin seen power, which forced upon bis mind tho dreadful conviction that so long as he continued to reject the Lord Jesus Christ, so lung was he exposed to the inaignation ana wrath ot the Almighty God. And this conviction came while listening to a Christian who with sweet voice was singing songs cf Zion. The stubborn heart aud silvered head bowed low under the power of the almighty Conqueror; and in tho self-same night he rose a new man, washed in the blood which cleanses the soul, happy in the divine love which for so long years be had rejected. Since that eventful honr this "wonder of grace" has continued a faithful witness of Christ his house a house of prayer, and all his ways testi fying to the genuiueness of the remar kable change. But what of the other? He was t noted character in the Fourth Ward, wielding a powerful influence among all classes, especially in political affairs Quiet and reseivcd as to his general bearing, this man carried with him heart and will that wero equal to any work of darkness and blood. Forty years of life amocg tho "wild beasts" of human kind had so wrought upon his physical nature that his looks could almost induce a belief in the possibility of the transmigration of the soul of an animal into the body of a man. Nevertheless, even fur this being Jesus Christ died: and earnest prayer brought couvictiou of sin, to enlighten and uluini bit conscience. His couvic tion was as sudden una marked as was that of the first case. It was in August ot last year, on a Sabbath afternoon, during a sermon preached in one of the streets ot tho rourth Ward, by a mm ister engaged in street preaching, while tbts man stood carelessly listening, an arrow shot into his heart, so quick and sharp he suddenly turned and fled from the spot. But he could not run away from God or conscience. His pain of mind was apparent to his companions iu sin, who could not, however, appreciate the cause of his strange conduct. Now came the struggle between God's Spirit and this man's will. Conscience, sud denly awakened, cried out against him, and pleaded for tho truth. But with horrid oaths he resisted his Maker, and fought with desperation against the con victions under which he labored. And the wicked man conquered. The impressions .never came again Four months alterrnie abov event he was struck with death while ut the bar of his "gin-mill," atid after remaining senseless fur u few days, unable to be moved Irom the spot where tho angel smote him, he died as the brute dieth, surrounded by dogs and abandonded characters. Keep Away from tho Wheels. Little Charles Williams lived near manufactory, and he was very fond of going among the workmen aud the young people who were at work there. 1 he foreman would say to him: "Keep away Irom the wheels, Charlie. Char lio did not mind, and would often say "I can take care of myself." Often he would go near, and the wind of the wheels would almost suck him in, and two or three times hegiew so dizzy that he scarcely knew which way to go. At length one day he staggered while a&iid tho wheels, and fell the wrong way; the band caught his little coat and drew him in, and he was dreadfully mangled. So it is boys, when you go in the way of temptation; you may think you can take eare of yourselves, and keep clear ot the wheels; but oh! you may find yourselves dreadfully mistaken. Before you are aware of it, you may be caught and destroyed. Keep away from the wheels. Young Reaper. Cobs of Coal ani Infidelity. An English collier once made this good hit at infidelity. It occurred at ib close of an infidel meeting: "Mais ter Bradlaugh, me and my mate were both Methodys, till one ot these infidel chaps cam' this way. Jim turned infi del, and used to taper me about attend ing class-meetings and prayer meetings; but one day in the pit a large cob of coal came down upon Jim's head. Jim thought he was killed, aod, ah, tnon! but he did holler." Then turning to Bro. Bradlaugh, with a very knowing look, he said: "Young man, there's nought like cobs of coal for knocking infidelity out of a man." The ufidel had but a small minority with him after this palpable hit. In the depths of the sea the waters are still; the heaviest grief is that borne in silence; the deepest love flows through the eye and touch; the purest joy is unspeakable; the most impressive preacher at a funeral is the silent one wtrose lips are cold. Coal Tit onFlro for CreHunirel 7ear3. The liondon Nics says: "One of the most curious phenomena in connec tion with cool mining is exhibited it the Bank colliery, near Kothcrhnni, the property of Earl Fitzwilliam. This pit caught fire 100 years ago, and all the eflorts ot workmen at the time, and subsequently, have been quite inefTco tual to extmquieh it. A short time ago it was ascertained that the flames were approaching the bottom ot the shaft, and it was then resolved, if possible, to stay tho progress, so that they might not extend to other parts of iho work ings. At length the superintendent of the colliener, Mr. T. Cooper, conceived tho idea of building a wall to shut in the fire, and in order to ascertain the best side for this wall, several of the officials crept on their hands and knees through the dense stifling smoke, as far as possible into the workings. Their efforts were successful, and a wall is now completed nearly 1,000 yards in length, and varying from nine inches to five feet in thickness. At dis tances varying from thirty to fifty yards, metal pipes have been inserted in this wall, which are securely plugged at the end, so that at any time, by removing the plugs, the state of the air on the side of the fire, and even the position of the fire itself, can be ascertained. So intense is the heat arising from this fire that people possessing gardens above the colliery declare that the growth of plants is materially affected, and that they are enabled lo obtain two and three crops every year. m H)i mm Elk County Directory.
