Two hunters went out the other day and after firing six shots at a pquirrel succeeding in killing the poor thing. The report is current that the Uaskel well, in the borough of Smeth port, contains eight hundred feet of oil.

St Patrick's Day was generally observed in this village, all the places or business were closed and services were held in the several churches. It is not necessary to add that Sunday was the cause of it. Rock candy and whiskey is said to be a cure for consumption. Tho opinion is prevalent in this latitude that the candy part is superfluous. At any rate the consumption seems to be on the increase. Capt. Fred. Schcening has erected a neat grape arbor in his front yard on South street. The general desire among our citizens seems to be to im prove their places as much as possible, which is right and will soon place Ridgway in the front rauk of beauti ful villages. An organization has been formed in this village, embracing a luTgo number of our citizens, the object of which is to enforce obedience to the license laws. We would willingly have published the rules apd regula tions of the order had they been handed us In time. The oil regions are not the para dise for laborers that some imagine. All the papers, from Butler to Brad ford, concur in saying that the num ber of the unemployed is unusually large, and those going there in search of work in nine cases out of ten are doomed to utter disappointment. The cheek of some men is truly wonderful. They will ask all manner of favors of the editor, and never pat. ronize him.

A Boy Drowned. - A sad accident happened near Oster hotifs tannery between three and four o'clock, on Tuesday afternoon last, resulting in the death of Frankie DeWitt a little five year old son of John DeWitt night watchman In the tannery. Frankie, and another little boy of about bis age, were playing on some rafts opposite the tannery and were jumping from one raft to another when Frankie fell in, and it seems the other little boy endeavored to get ldm out and at one time had him by the hand, but did not seem to realize the situation and only when he saw his little playmate disappear managed to run home and give the alarm, Mr. DeWitt was sleeping at the time, and fully an hour and a half elapsed be fore the search for the body of the lost child was commenced. The body was found under the raft which it was found necessary to move out into the stream. The utmost endeavor was made to resuscitate the child but to no purpose, as life was extinct. The little chap had been to the store in the morning after some clothes pins for his mother, and as he lay in his casket a cut on one of his littlo fingers was plainly discernable which ho had made with his father's knife on the morning of the accident. The mother of the child was suffering with a severe attack of the headacho and for that reason the child wandered away as children will do. During yester day a great many people called to see the dead child and all pronounce him "beautiful in death." The sym pathy of all, and especially those parents who have little ones, goes out with heartfelt emotion to the sorrow ing parents. Mr. DeWitt has one child, a little son, Freddie, a year or so younger than the little boy who was drowned. Kotos.

Two or three professional pigeon hunters have made tbeir appearance in "these diggings," they conclude, that the pigeons have taken Greeley's advice and gone west.

Most people, when the panic strikes them "right smart" hard, economize by stopping the county paper, three or four cents a week saved is belter than six or eight cents earned, you know. Therefore, when you economize be sure and stop your paper first. It don't make a hurra's differ ence to us whether you pay for your subscription in Gold, Silver, or Green backs, and we have been known to lake cord wood, apples, and cabbase. and apple butter, but just now we are more iu need of money than "garden sass." Luzerne county is rightly called the mother of "great" men. There is Beamish, and Coon, and last but not least, the mighty Gaines, Serrgeaut-at-Arms of the House, who could imag ine just what men were to be sub pcenied in a certain case and the length of a time each witness had to serve. Such talent is happily rare. The spectacle of a member of Con gress bciug on the floor of the House too drunk to stand was witnessed last week, Wednesday, the Hon. Beverly Douglass of Virginia being the mem ber who thus disgrtced himself. In justice to himself, the reputation of his State, and the dignity of tho body he has disgraced, he should promptly re sign. Tho Minneapolis Lumberman and Manufacturer publishes a table of the amount of lumber on hand at all the lumber points in the United States on the first of January, which sums up a total of 2,163,057,776 feet. On the first oi January, 1877, the total stock on hand was 2,434,059,773 feet, which has been decreased 271,001,907 feet in one year. The stock on hand at the beginning of the present year has been very materially decreased during the past two months. Will tho following apply to our town: "The wise daughter is the pride of her father; yea, her mother also delights in her, but the foolish maiden bringeth sorrow. She bang etli her hair over her right eye." she tippeth her hat on the back of her head. When evening cometh she walketh on Main street, and with her left eye she gianceth at the patient youth, who coughed on the curbstone and wipeth his nose with a red ban dana. Her handkerchief also is seen. Then the youth smileth to himself andfolloweth in her footsteps. She setteth a snare and scoopeth the way farer in. Selah. ' A correspondent of the Erie Gazette In Bradford has the following about the railroads: The threo rail roads do an immense business. The Tuna branch of the Erie road, that seems to have been built expressly for this occasion, in advance, is teeming with freight and 'passengers. The three-foot gauge the Olean Bradford & Warren road, carries large and de lighted loads of humanity through its wild and wierd course. The "one jegged road" shoots its coaches well filled, back and forth every half hour, between Tarport and Bradford, a dis tance of a mile. The trip is made in a minute. It is an utter impossibility for a coach to leave this track conse quently no dange? is met with in run ning a mile a minute. An Irishman. a few days ago, vho had just landed at the Bradford depot, looked toward Tarport, and iinoeently exclaimed, "wnat tne uevl is mat comln' on the fince." This remark is not so surpris ing, when we ionsider the near re semblance betvpen this railroad and a common Doarc.ience, Kotos from onr Exchanges. BY counties. . Clarion From the Republican.

Mrs. J. C. McCombs, of Corsica, mother of A. C. McCombs, met with a serious accident on Saturday. Her husband being ill, Bhe ascended into a hay loft to attend to some duties, and fell through a concealed trap door to the floor, breaking several ribs and bruising her body considerably. Mrs McCombs weighs about two hundred pounds. The attending physician thinks her recovery doubtful. At tho same place on the same morning, a little boy was caught be tween a wagon and the corner of a barn, and suffered a fracture of the collar bone and one arm besides sus taining two or three cuts in the head and face. A stick penetrated the face alongside of the nose, to the depth of one and a half inches. The boy still lives. Clear Jctd. From the Republican. The citizens of DuBois City and the northern portion of Brady town ship have held several public meet ings, looking to the formation of a new township out of the townships of Brady and Huston. There is no ques tion but that there Is both territory and population enough to warrant a new township, by taking about one- third of the northern territory of Brady from the Union township line west to the Jefferson county line nnd that portion of Huston township lying immediately north of Brady. Should a new township be formed, we hope it will be named after Washington, Franklin, or some other of the Revo lutionary heroes. We already have Brady, Morris, Pike and Penn. Now, let us have one of the namesindicated. The most remarkable weather we ever witnessed in this latitude (41 J) was that on the 9th, 10th, and 11th days of March.

What a perfect hoax the ground hog proved to be this year. Cameron. From the Press (11th inst.) This morning at 4 o'clock, Charles Sweazey, brakeman on train 13, fell from the cars at Elma, twelve miles this side of Buffalo, the cars passing over him and killing him instantly. The body was conveyed to Buffalo and will be taken to Grotou, Tomp kins county, N. Y. for interment. Charley was a young man of excel lent character, and loved by all who know him. His sudden death has cast a gloom over the town. Clinton. From the Renovo Record. Mr. Robert Cameron, a lumber man, who was lately employed on Randall's log job, on Youngwoman's Creek, was accidentally crushed to death, on the 0th insr., while breaking a landing near the nlue-mile shanty. The deceased was about 40 years of age, and leaves a wife and three children, in poor circumstances, in that neighborhood. He has been em ployed in this neighborhood as a lum berman for the past four or five years. A down town man and his wife agreed recently to learn a verse of Scripture every evening and repeat It to each other for mutual improvement. The first night, however, her quota tion happened to be : "Am I not thy ruler?" and his was to the effect that he'd be hanged if she was ; and the result of the plan so far has been that he has taken to drink, and exhibits a willingness to sleep in the woodshed at night. Warran. From the Mail. The "officers of the law" In Sugar Grove township make quick work of thieves and rascals. Mr. Kimball, about 70 years of age, old and big enough to know better, living near Sugar Grove, was arrested last week on the charge of setting lire to the barn of Mr. H. Wilson of Chandler's Valley, which was destroyed, with a quantity of hay, farming tools and lumber, Sunday morning, March 3. Ho was lodged in jail, tried last week and sentenced to go down the river and serve thirteen months. He was angry at Mr. Wilson, and walked two miles "to see the barn burn," and was caught in the woods near the fire by a dog. Lycoming. From the willlamsport Gazette A Bulletin. Between 11 and 12 o'clock Sunday night there was another alarm of fire at Montoursville. The residence of Mr. W. C. Allen, Main street, near the M. E. church, was discovered to be on fire at tho hour named. The fire had started in the basement and had burned through the floor, and also through the ceiling above. Consider able crockery ware in the basement was destroyed and the wood work of tho room badly damaged. The citi zens turned out and worked so faith fully that the flames were soon sup pressed. The ladies especially, distin guished themselves by their noble efforts. Mr. Allen and his family were well nigh suflbca ted, before get ting out. The fire was undoubtedly incendiary work, as a window was found open, and some shavings in the house were found saturated with coal oil. Just before the alarm was soun ded a man was seen riding hurridly up the street back of Mr. Allen's. A quantity of table linen and other arti cles were stolen also. The loss, which will be about f 100, is fully covered by insurance. Pennijlranla Notes. A Lancaster planing 1 mill firm paid off its employees In gold on Sat urday.

Mr. Joseph Walker, a widower, aged about fifty-six years, residing about a mile from Mansfield, Alle gheny county, committed suicide on Thursday. He first flattened two bul lets on his head and afterward hanged himself. The supposed cause was the loss of $18,000 through Gill, the miss ing Pittsburg defaulter. A negro named Toogood, who bo longs to a gang of desperadoes in Lan caster county, resisted arrest on Fri day, seizing an axe and swinging it in a threatening manner. Before he could use the implement a manaccom pauyingthe constable deputed to make the arrest shot the negro in tho rear. The desperado dropped to the floor, but the wound is not dangerous. It is stated that the New York Central railroad company and the Standard oil company are co-operating in the effort to induce the Legislature of New York to grant tho power of procuring the right of way for free pipes in that state. The object to be attained is to secure the monopoly of oil transportation from the Bradford region. The citizens of Beaver and Butler counties have oeen considerably an noyed during the past few weeks by the operations of a gang of robbers, whose detection and arrest seemed im possible. Their work was chiefly in the towns of New Brighton, Roches ter, Baden and Freedom, iu Beaver county, and in Zelienople, in Butler county. The last and boldest and most wholesale operation was in Zel ienople, one night last week, when they went through no less than eleven houses, in each of which they ob tained goods to a greater or less value. The discovery of the gang, which is supposed to be responsible for all these depredations, was made by the merest accident last week. A little girl was passing the house of a family named Gordon, living about two miles back of Rochester, soon after the Zelienople robberies, when she saw some of the family secreting iu a newly dug well, a mysterious package, wrapped up in some bed ticking. She told the neighbors what she had seen, and this circumstance, together with the gen eral reputation of the family, at once fastened a strong suspicion upon them. Living With the family was a man named Jack Wiles, who is, or pretends to be, married to one of the Gordon girls, named Emma. A reward of fifty dollars was offered for his arrest as he was supposed to bo the moving spirit iu these iniquities, and soon afterwards a farmer named Beard, determined to bring this man to justice, and at the same time secure the reward, 6aw Wiles a short distance from the house. Attempting to capture him, Wiles ran and Beard gave chase. As the thief was climbing a fence Beard threw a stone at him, striking him on the back of the head, and knocking him down. Supposing that he had him within his grasp, Beard confidently approached, and was much surprised to see Wiles spring to his feet and beat a hasty retreat, firing two shots at his pursuer as he ran. Beard concluded that further attempts to secure his capture were useless, so long as the ad vantage in arms were thus against him, called at a near furm-house, pro cured a double-barrelled shotgun, and soon had the satisfaction of taking Wiles in custody, the latter surrender ing at the muzzle of the gun. A large quantity of stolen goods were found secreted in the well and other places in and about the house. Wiles and the Gordens were taken to Har mony and lodged iu jail. As most of the articles recovered were stolen from Zelienople, the party will be taken to Butler county for trial. The citizens feel much relieved by the ar rest, and it is believed that there is sufficleut evidence against the defend ants to put them out of the way of doing hafrn for some time. Wiles, the leader of the gang, Is a man with a bad record, which the police of this city are familiar with. Pittsburgh Telegraph, Rata of Advertising.
