ItlDQWAY, PA., APRIL BS, .1878. Kl'-LJiJ - ' Notes. Hall, wind, and rain on Saturday even lng. Pigeons were selling hero Inst week for one dollar a dozen. Soaking rain last night, which Will undouhledly make a hig flood. A bracket flood last Saturday morning started a large amount of lumber from this section. The old slaughter house, built by Tat Malone on the hanks of the Clar ion, has been converted into a dwelling house and is occupied by a, German family. Editors are never satisfied, or moro of them would retire from business. It Is curious how a man thinks he will make just another hundred thousand and then retire. " The daily musical concert given by the frogs, in the mud puddle opjo Blte this building, seems to'be a sere nade to the Supervisors to have a ditch put In and the unsightly nuisance abated. More new subscribers this week which leads us to remark thut if you think this paper is worth the small Bum a.sked for It why not subscribe and thus give us some substantial tes timonial of your appreciation. "Why don't our merchants get a quantity of gold for change to pay out to their customers. Then advertise the fact in the papers, and see If it don't pay. Gentlemen you will have to wake up for this is going to be an oil town. On our first page is ''Clover" an interesting story; "Old Reliable" a humorous article, besides "Items of Interest," "Farm, Garden, and House hold," and several other short articles. "Songs Unsung," is a neat little poem. On our fourth page will be found live columns of interesting matter. The house that stood on the site of M. E. Leaser's house, next Mrs Houk's across the Clarion, was built forty-live years ago by Mr. Caleb Dill. All that now remains is the old stone chim ney with its ancient lire places, and that too M'ill soon be demolished for use in the cellar wall of the new house. Rev. J. K. Melhorn, of Pittsburgh, will preach in the Lutheran church on Tuesday evening, April 30th, in the English language at 7:30 o'clock. Rev. Melhoru is the Missionary President of the Pittsburgh Synod, and a gentleman of groat force and elo quence. An invitation is extended to all to attend. In the article headed "Our Colony" which appeared in the Advo cate of week before last our readers may have been led to believe that the land spoken of was owned wholly by Mr. Hall. At the request of that gen tleman we will state that the land is owned by Earley, Brickie & like, and Hyde, Bradley, & Co., Mr. Hall being a member of the latter linn. The post-otlice at Earley was en tered on Wednesday night of last week and the safe blown open by drilling holes in the back and putting in powder. The postmaster, Mr. Mohan, keeps a jewelry and notion store. About $250,00 in money, besides jewelry to the amount of probably $150,00, was stolen. We understand no mail matter was molested. Terrific rain storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning, at this point on Monday evening. Rain fell in torrents, while the loud peals of thunder and vivid flashes of lightning, made the scene one of indescribable grandeur, but Mr. Groves, didn't seem to appreciate it as he and his team ecudded up Main street, under bare poles, looking like three rats in a rain barrel. Three kegs of beer, four quart bot tles of whiskey, one half-loaf bread, one shot-gun with broken stock, and one old company H musket with a damaged tube, were some of the neces sary equipments of a pigeoning party which started from this place the other day. The only thing that troubles us Is to know what they are going to do with such a large amount of bread. An awful time on our end of South street last week. All the folks got pigs from a man who was around selling them. In a few moments all the pigs were out of their little pens and running loose, and all the men women and dogs running after them, and such a running, it reminded us of the time that Mrs. Cunningham's pig got out and ran into Earley's woods before it was caught. Mrs. Stewart's pig ran into Mrs. Cunningham's house where it was made a prisoner. The total seated valuation of Itidgway township is f 202.410, which includes gold watches. $1600: silver watches, $580; money at interest, 700. The unseated valuation is $152, 282. The county tax is eight mills on each dollar of valuation, the poor tax three and one-half mills. The road tax will probably be eight mills, then there will be the cash tax for the pay ment of judgments, and which is ordered by the court, of probably ten mills. The school tax will be about eight mills, and the side-walk tax, wnicu is only levied on property within a certain limit, about one and one-half mills. Total amount of tax on each dollar of valuation, outside the sidewalk limit, three cents and . seven and one-half mills. Within the Bide-walk limit three cents and nine mills on each dollar of valuation. A slight difference may be made when the different taxes are laid but the rates as given, will likely prove to be substantially correct. Personal Notes. Mr. Gresh has a new grape arbor.

Postmaster Hagerty received a lot of potatoes the other day and exercised himself considerably getting them into his store room. W. II. Schram's pretty sorrel colt, which we spoke of last week, has had a sick spell. It is much better now and we hope will recover. The chap who tried to wind up his clock with a match had probably been imbibing that beverage (beer) which never intoxicates. Mrs. Noon has made soap, and feels proud of her good luck, which was no.doubt due to having the boil ing done in the full of the moon. Doctor Hartley has planted forty rose bushes on his Broad and Soutli street property. He has also planted a hitching post in front of his drug store. The new Lutheran choir consists of Bev. Mercer, Bob. Robinson, A. C. Mathews, and Jim. Fullerton, all bass singers, and the basist quartette in the place. f N. T.

Hyde remarked the other day that he had seen no notice in the pa pers of new buildings going up in Ridgway this summer. But then he don't take the Advocate. Gould, of the Cameron County Press, was in town on Monday. Time has dealt rather gently with our old friend as with loving touch he has thickly sprinkled the grey among the gold. Capt. Schcening has an observa tory on the roof of his house. When blind M'Colum was here the Captain took him up and showed him the sights. The joke is of long standing but new to many people. We saw a chap on the street the other evening with a a-lrl on either arm, and we agree with one of the young ladies who said "people will think you have your hands full." Dennis Donnovan, of Fox town ship, fired his fallow on Thursday last, as did the Kemmers in this town ship making a smoke that was seen at this place to rise in immense clouds. N. T. Cummings managed to get one ngni piece out on the Saturday bracket, and he and Will Messenger came back on mail Monday afternoon. They report the river, below Arm strong's, as "stuck" full of rafts.

Walker, our old time shoe maker, but now engaged in farming, has two new red wheels on his old wagon. Leopold Rhines had such a nice shot at a flock of pigeons, about a mil lion, when his gun missed lire and they were gone. B. T. Cliapin is doing a good busi ness at Brockwayville, and is well pleased with his new venture. We wish him much success Carl Rhines, on his recent pijreou hunt killed seven pigeons at one shot. They were on the ground feeding when he got the drop on them. Grove had several visitors who whittled, the other day. When we looked in it was hard to determine whether he was running a planing mill or a carpenter shop. . Capt. Schcening and Doctor Hartley were taken to the pigeon section, at Highland, by James M'Goveru, on Monday evening. Aud a flue rainy start they had.

Supervisor Melvin Gardner was arrested by the Warren Kportman's Club for burning pigeons where they were nesting. As he was too lame to walk aud the arresting party had no mode of conveyance he was allowed to go scot free. Several other parties arrested were made to pay $20, or go to the Forest county jail, which made their pigeons rather dear meat. John Lees, a well-known manu facturer of Chester, Pa., was instantly killed on Monday last by his horses running away, and throwing him from his wagon against a tree with such force that the top of his head was taken off.

In our last issue we noticed the fact that Grant & Ilorton were building a barn. On investigating the matter we find that the barn named is more than an ordinary one, perhaps the largest structure of the kind in Elk county. The size is 36x84 and It rests on a stone foundation of which three feet are in the ground and thirteen feet above the ground. Above the fouuda tion are two stories the building being so arranged that a team can drive into the upper story, and unload, on a plan similar to that of DickinsonBros'. new barn. Casserly & Malhorn com menced the stone work last Monday morning. A new line of dress goods at J. H. Hagerty's. Call and eeeth elegant ew stock. From the Konovo Record, April Mb.. A Terrible Accident. , tWO UNKNOWN MEN CRUSHED TO DEATH IN ALUMIIBR CAR CORON ER'S INQUEST HELD, On Tuesday night last, between 0J and 10 o'clock, a brakeman on an ex freight train east, while making up his train in the lower part of the yard In this place, discovered two unknown men in death's grasp in the middle of a cattle car loaded with planed lumber. The cries aud groans of the unfortu nate men had just about subsided when he reached the car. They wore found tightly wedged in between two piles of lumber. As soon as assistance coold be had", tnelr lifeless bodies were extricated, and the authorities of the borough notified of the accident. John Smith, Esq., summoned a Cor oucr's jury, which gave a verdict of accidental death, caused in the man ner "above stated. One of the men was about 40 years old, about 5 feet 9 inches in highth, weight about 160 pounds j light brown curly hair and smooth face. He was dressed in a black cloth coat, which was in good condition ; had on two pairs of cashmere pants one pair striped, tho other checkered ; a white knit undershirt, Over which was a white dress shirt and a check over shirt; canton flannel drawers; a blue brown striped neck scarf; a dark grey vest mixed with white and brown ; Congress gaiters. He bore a sear un der the cnin ; lias a largo head and face. In his pockets were found a black-handled razor, with the Initials "W. B. K." cut on one side of the han dle. There were no papers or money found on his person. The oilier man was about 19 years of age; highth 5 feet 5 inches; light auburn hair, smooth face, bearing no indication of ever having shaved. On forehead there was a sniail tuft of gray hair; several warts on second joint of forefinger of left hand. He was dressscd in a gray woolen coat and dark pants; check wool undershirt, over which was a white shirt and check wool overshirt; boots nearly new. A leatner pocket booK was found in his pockets, containing a song, entitled "The Battle Cry of Freedom" and a poem entitled "The Gypsy's Warning," written in a plain, bold hand. He also had in his pock ets a steel watch chain, on which was j attached a very old pennyand padlock key ; pair of gold sleeve buttons, tri angular shaped, with green stone set tings ; one of Dr. Pierce's memoran dum books in which was written, "I owe Car for 12 lbs. of lard. Signed G. Yauger." In three other places ap pears the name of "Fred, i auger, Lowell, N. Y." The bodies of the unfortunate men were provided with coffins and buried at North Point yesterday. A Dangerous Item. We do not remember in what journal we first saw the following ex tract as an original item ; but, since it has recently been copied without comment by several cotemporaries, at tention should be directed to it. The article states that: "A poison of any conceivable de scription and degree of potency, which has been intentionally or accidentally swallowed, may be rendered almost instantly harmless by simply swallow ing two gills of sweet oil. An indi vidual with a very strong constitution should take nearly twice this quantity. This oil will most positively neutralize every form of vegetable, animal, or mineral poison with which physicians, and chemists are acquainted." The idea that sweet oil will neutral ize such poisons as prussic acid, nico tine, strychnine, curare, and a host of others less speedy in their action, is almost two absurd to demand refuta tion. In some cases, when taken into the stomach in large quantities, it may serve to involve acrid and poisonous substances and mitigate their action, until the arrival of a physician with specifics shall relieve the patient from danger; but it is not to be used in all cases, for its administration, for in stance, immediately after the swallow ing of a corrosive mineral acid, such as oil of vitriol, would be followed by most fearful results. As the great multitude of poisons known to the physician and chemist are classified according to their varied mode of action on the animal economy, it is evident that the method of treat ment in cases of poisoning must like wise vary. There can be no one spe cific for all. It is to be hoped that no one wili be simple enough to try this antidote ; for if he does, the absurd person who penned the quoted statement may have a human life to answer for. Scientific American.

He was a very good man, moved In the first circles of society, was highly respected, audit is a shame that he should be interferred with for appropriating the trifling sum of half a million!" It always gives us pain to hear one cough on the street, in the house or at meetings of any kind; for this reason, as well as others, I have devoted time and study for years past to find a remedy that will alleviate and cure as far as possible, many of my fellows who are troubled with this grevious, wearing, tearing, wasting cough, and I think the Improved Cough Syrup reaches more cases of bad coughs and bronchial affections than any other remedy of its kind.
