Ridgway Township Election.
ELECTION HELD FEB. 19TH, 1&78.
Below we give the names of thecan
dldates, and the number of votes polled
for each candidate. The contest was
an animated one, and the total vote
cast (295) within twenty of the vote
cast in the township last fall for Sheriff.
The tickets in the field were two, viz:
the union ticket, a fusion of Democrats
and Republicans, and the regular
Greenback ticket. The result of the
election shows that the Greenbackers
have a majority over either the Demo
crat or Republican party, and, within
a few votes, as many as the two united.
As it is the Greenbackers take six and
the Fusionlsts seven of the thirteen
offices filled:

Wilcox Notes.
Wilcox, Pa., Feb. 19, 1878.
Two more of Mr. Payne's children
have died, and two more are very sick
with diphtheria.
The deiot at this place was burg
larized 011 Friday night between ten
and eleven o'clock. The door to the
ladies' waiting room was pried off with
an iron bar taken from the depot win
dow, and the partition scaled between
the ticket office and gentleinens' wait
ing room. The combination lock on
the ticket-office safe was successfully
opened, and the safe's contents, viz.:
one hundred and seventy dollars in
money, a revolver and several other
articles, were taken. The thief unlocked
all the drawers in the office, appropri
ated the small change he found, took
the tickets from the case, and had evi
dently stamped some of them, as he
left the stamp and tickets together on
the table. At ten minutes to eleven
o'clock, as John Smith, a young man
who lives near the depot, was going
home, he saw a man leave the depot
and run across the bridge, and at once
gave the alarm. The bird had flown,
and was no where to be seen until, on
Saturday afternoon George Smith, a
young man, was arrested and brought
before J. L. Brown, Esq., where he
was identified by John Smith as the
man who emerged from the depot on
the night previous. Nothing was found
on the person of the prisoner, oramong
his effects, to fix the crime upon him.
An attempt was made to prove an alibi,
when he succeeded in proving where
he was on Friday evening, with the ex
ception of the time between the hours
of ten and eleven o'clock. John Smith
swore positively as to the identity of
the defendant. The prisoner was held
in the sum of five hundred dollars for
his appearance at the next term of
court, in default of which he was sent
to the county jail at Ridgway. How a
man, unacquainted with the safe and
combination, could unlock it Is a mys
tery hard to solve, and, if there is any
thing in appearances, that fellow is a
slipiery chap, and I M ill wager a five
cent nickle against a pint of jieanuts
that that old rat-trap in Ridgway wont
hold him until the next term of court,
unless extra precaution is taken.

E. K. Thompson, Dear Sir: I am
81 years of age ; have been" troubled
the past nine months with the thread
or pin worm. I have used Worm
Candy but with little benefit. I used
one bottle of your Sweet Worm
Powder, taking one teuspoonn.il before
breakfast, dinner and supper, after
which I drank pumpkin seed tea and
castor oil, as you directed, and the
effect was astonishing. I now feel
perfectly well, and recommend the
Sweet Worm Powder as a sure
remedy. Kl have lived in Titusville
