The St. Mary's Gazette, official or
gan of the Elk county Democracy, an
nounces the name of Dr. C. R. Earley
as a candidate for the "office of As
sembly." A new office the Gazette is
trying to foist on the long-suffering
people of little Elk.
The new fence in front of the Mc
Nulty lot improves the looks of the
lower end of South street to a great ex.
tent. Improvement is what we like
to see. with a touch here and there
Ridgwuv will in time be classed as
among lnnsylvania's beautiful vil-
lages.
If everything that happens does
notnppear in the Advocate it shall
be no fault of ours. Now, if you know
of any little item you would like to see
in the paper we shall be pleased to
learn the fact, for we are determined
to make a lively local paper if it takes
all summer.
Country postmasters of the fourth
J class are now resiirninir bv the hun
dred, the post office department being
overwhelmed with resignations from
postmasters of this class. The trouble
is that the new law makes the amount
of stamps canceled instead of the
amount sold a standard for their salary
Under the old rule some country post
masters were making as much as those
in large cities, by the unlawful sale of
stamps.
The idea has been suggested that
Ridgway was peculiarly located for
summer resort, and that with a little
energy and push we might Induce the
wasted and parched denizens of the
cities to spend the summer months
here in Ridgway, and whilo they were
receiving the benefit of our salubrious
climate and pure water, trout Ashing
and pleasant drives, we might rake in
a goodly supply of Althy lucre. N
doubt the idea is a good one and we
hope to see it acted on.
The sidewalks in this village are
becoming terribly dilapidated, so that
in a few years it will be necessary to
relay them. The business will be to
have the place incorporated, and then
each man will build his own walk, and
we will warrant there will be no com
plaint. We heard Doctor Earley say
that if the Supervisors would release
him from sidewalk tax he would lay
a flag stone pavement on both sides o
his Centre and Broad street premises,
No doubt other men would do the
same and thus in time we would have
handsome and durable pavements in
stead of the now unsightly hemlock
plank.
The prisoners Patrick Goodman
and James Donley again freed them
selves from their irons on Thursday
lust and threw them down the water
closet. These prisoners our readers
Will remember are confined in jail on
the charge of burglarizing the Thayer
House. Goodman escaped jail once or
twice and tried to escape another time
but was prevented doing so by the
vigilance of Sheriff Oyster. On Fri
day evening the new irons made by
Philip Lesser were riveted on the right
ankle of Donley and the left ankle of
Goodman. The heavy Iron rings are
connected by large links, and the su
superficial observer would- pronounce
the breaking of them an impossibility
me prisoners nau threatened resis.
tance but never uttered a word as the
blacksmith with sledge and hammer
securely fastened them. When he
was through Goodman asked the
Sheriff how long a time he intended
to keep the irons on them, when
Sheriff Oyster replied that that would
depend a great deal on circumstances.
The cost of the irons destroyed is in
the neighborhood of $35.00 making
tiie iron-breuking business rather an
expensive luxury to the taxpayers.

Rats! rats! O, wonderful rat. The
parties who make a practice of killing
rats and doing them up in papers re

if caught, will be dealt with according

A terrible tragedy, resulting fatal

ago, as the evening train came thun

observed on the track, but before the
train could be stopped he was beheaded

passengers. And Miller's little boy
said it was the best game rooster he
had.
In simple looking things there
may lurk deadly poison. The habit
some people have of eating peach ker
nels will, we are sure, be discontinued
when they learn that these kernels
contain prussic or hydrocyaic acid,
and eminent physicians state that an
ounce of the kernels contain one grain
of the poison, which is enough to al
most certainly kill any adult person,
Two-thirds of a grain has very often
proved fatal. Beware of the deadly
peach kernel.

Church Dedication.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AT KANE,
PA., DEDICATED SATURDAY, AUG.
10, 1878.
Ridgway, Aug. 19, '78.
A determination to be complete, and
yet accurate, In detail, delayed your
correspondent's account of the Inter
esting and impressive ceremonies at
the dedication of the Tresbyterian
church at Kane until too late for your
last issue. This event, which took
place on Saturday, AHg. 10th, was
heralded by notices in your own and
other influential papers in the neigh
boring counties. Invitations were is
sued to riends of the church at a dis
tance, while special cards invited no
ted Presbyterians to attend. Com
plying with our own invitation, we
took the afternoon train, and, alight
ing from it at Kane, found ourself in
front of the new church, with time to
examine its merits before the services
commenced.
The building, is prettily situated on
a fine lot of land presented by General
Kane, and lying immediately in front
of the Thompson House and in the
midst of those parks which lend such
a charm to that favorite resort. It is
built of a handsome salmon pink col
ored sandstone faced with white, con
trastlng finely with the green terraces
from which it rises and the dark slate
roof which crowns it. In plan it is a
cross of size sufficient to seat com
fortably over three hundred people.
Narrow gothic windows around the
building are surmounted by beautiful
rose windows in the gables. All are
of stained glass, gorgeous in coloring
yet tasteful in design and sentiment,
Inside, the church is expensively fin
lshed ih cherry, the arches, rafters and
other prominent parts picked out with
vermilion and gold. The furniture is
also chiefly of cherrr, preserving the
harmony of the whole.
The following was the order of ex
ercises determined upon, and which
was substantially adhered to, the de'
sign being to display the fellowship of
all christians by representing as many
denominations as possible in the ser
vices :
1st. Anthem, by the united choirs
of the Presbyterian and Methodist
churches.
2. Invocation, by the Pastor,
8. Selections of Scripture Rev. Mr.
Farr, (Episcopal), Philadelphia.
4. Prayer Rev. Mr. Talbot,(Metho
dist), Ridgway.
6. Hymn "When, Lord, to This
Our Western Land," united choirs.
6. Sermon the Pastor. Rev. J. M
Gillette.
7. Presentation of the church.
8. Acceptance for the Ueueral as
sembly.by Hon. Judge H. W. Wit
Hams.
9. Hymn "All Hall the Power of
Jesus' Name," given out by Mr. Mel
lander, (Swedish Lutheran,) Kane,
and sung by the united choirs.
10. Prayer of Dedication Rev. Mr,
Newkirk, (Presbyterian,) Philadel
phia.
11. Anthem, by the choirs.
12. Benediction, by the Pastor.
At four o'clock we were summoned
to the services by the deep, sweet tones
of a grand bell the gift of Mrs. Alida
Van Rensselaer Constable. The open
ing anthem "Arise and Shine" was
well executed and did especial credit
to Mrs. Coleman, the organist and
leader. Her powerful alto voice and
Miss Small's sweet soprano were par
ticularly noticeable.
Rev. Mr. Farr read the account of
the dedication of Solomon's Temple In
a clear voice and impressive manner
that brought out the full effect of the
sublime passages.
The text for the Pastor's sermon was
taken from the fifty-first Psalm,
eighteenth verse, ' Do good in Thy
good pleasure unto Zion, build Thou
the walls of Jerusalem." After a brief
introduction the speaker proceded to
an illustration of the truth That the
religious sentiment in man ia of the
highetttimporiance. This he eloquently
showed was opposed to atheism, to in
fidelity, and to the materialistic views
of modern science. Religion, where
it is genuine, he said, promotes virtue
in the community, and a house of
worship is necessary that religion may
find a home, and the scattered embers
of this sacred fire be brought together.
Our friend and benefactress Mrs.
Thomas and those associated with her,
have accomplished a noble work in
building so substantial and tasteful a
house of worship in that community.
As Rey. Mr. Gillette concluded this
Instructive discourse, General Kane's
venerable aunt arose, and presented a
roll of parchment to Judge Williams,
who responded as follows:
" On behalf of the Trustees of the
General Assembly, whom you have
named as the trustees of your bounty.
I can assure you that the trust will be
cheerfully accepted and faithfully per
formed. On behalf of this church 1
am desired to express their great grati
tude. This beautiful edifice, furnished,
ready for immediate occupancy, la a
gift which has cost you much, but
which they fervently hope may be
worth to them and this community
more than mere figures can express.
They desire me to thank you on their
behalf, and to say that this church,
which you have reared to the memory
of your earthly parents, and which Is
now being dedicated to the service of
41 Our Father in Heaven," will be to
them sacred also, and always to the
memory of the christian woman
whose deed of gift I hold in my hand,
and whose life they pray may be long
spared to them and to the church.
The history of this church hi bound
up with that of the settlement of this
place.
Before the railroad or telegraph, be
fore wagon roads or settlements, one
came into these broad and magnificent
forests who saw their advantages as
well as their beauty. The vision of a
healt hy, happy, vjrtuous people breath
ing the pure air of these table lands,
and turning the forests into fruitful
fields, came to him. It remained with
him. Since the close of that wai which
preserved our unity as a nation, and
in which it was his privilege to bear an
honorable part, he hassoughtto realize
that which had for some years been a
cherished ideal.
Coming in person, General Kane
first occupied the little log hut, still
standing near the Tionesta Spring. A
saw mill was soon built by him, and a
few mill houses near it. Among these
was a little log house, which soon after
became the school house, and the house
of worship of the new settlement. It
is still standing but a little way off
from this building, and it is one of the
most interesting spots in this region.
It was the Intellectual and moral
centre of the new settlement, and the
influence that has gone out from it
cannot now be estimated. In that
humble building religious services
were maintained by Mrs. Kane for
some time. She " held the fort " here
in the wilderness almostslngle handed.
But soon came the engineers, and be
hind them the multitude who wrought
with pick and shovel, hammer and
trowel, axe and saw. Then came the
refugees from justice from the centres
of population many miles away, and
the roving adventurers who keep al
ways on the front line of settlement.
When these came there was sore need
of reinforcements at the little log fort,
and earnest prayer went up from the
few to the " One" to send more sold
iers and laborers.
Then came the Methodists, whose
polity does so admirably fit them to do
pioneer work. They came, aud the
laborers of the log houses were glad
dened. The spirit of union that pre
sided over the log house before, pre
sided there still, and with christian
kindness and unselfishness all sought
to hold up each other's hands. The
whole christian strength of the little
community labored on in the most de
lightful and unbroken harmony.
But many of the new comers were
not of the Protestant faith and could
not be reached by those who were,
Then just at the right time the
Catholic church came to look after and
care for its stray children. It did this
work well, and its labors in behalf of
temperance and good morals were
earnest, vigorous and successful.
After the railroad followed the set'
tier. The industrious tswedes came
seeking homes among these forests,
They brought the faith as well as the
thrift of their fatherland with them.
They planted their church where
they planted their homes. Now four
church buildings occupy the field once
held by the log house.
The success of the idea of the foun
der and promoter of this settlement is
shown in the village school house,
these churches, these spreading farms
and the moral character of the people
who sustain and occupy them.
The history of this church begins in
the log house. Between that and this
beautiful and substantial edifice
stretch years of patient, earnest, un
recognized labor. Through all this
period Mrs. Kaue has been the resident
and presiding genius of its fortunes,
Mrs. Thomas, who has spent her sum
mers here for several years has been its
munificent friend and benefactress
Mr. Robert R. Field was the man who
gave it organization as a church, and
General Kane, who has been the
trusted counsellor and liberal patron of
all these churches, has been especially
such to this one.
Our Methodist brethren have fairly
earned the gratitude of this church
by their uniform kindness, and by
their cordial and unselfish co-operation.
For two years the Methodist
church like an elder sister has taken
this then houseless church into its own
house for worship, and made it wel
come there.
Now that we have a house of our
own, we shall try to return their hos
pitality and make them warmly wel
come here.
To the Lutheran church our obliga
tions are scarcely less, and our grateful
recognition Is equally earnest.
If this spirit of brotherly love shall
continue, if cordial co operation in
every good word and work shall exist
in the days to come, the moral atmos
phere will be as clear and invigorating
as this mountain air, and the blessings
of the God of Peace will rest on these
churches and on this people."
The gift made and accepted, and a
hymn of thankful praise having been
sung by the congregation most appro
priately, the Prayer of Dedication fol
lowed. After using the expressions of
the Psalmist in his love and preference
for the House of God, and the prom
ises of God which assure of His dwell,
ing among men, Rev. Mr. Newkirk
especially prayed that this church
building might prove the spiritual'
home of many believers, the place of
comfort to those in sorrow and tribu
lation, the refuge of weary souls, and
the birthplace of many humble peni
tents ; that It might be preserved from
damage and evil preserved holy to
Divine worship and that the God of
the Covenant who had honored His
handmaid in permitting and prompt
ing her to build such a beautiful sanct
uary would bless her through the re
mainder of her life, and that whenever
the Gospel was there preached, this
noble act which she had done should
be told for a memorial of her, and to
the praise of the Divine Grace.
After another noble anthem in
which a fine duet for tenor and bass
was very happily rendered by Messrs,
Bell aud Hall, the exercises were con
eluded with the divine benediction
from the pastor.
The visitors, who had come in crowds
from the neighboring towns as well as
from a distance, passed their time very
pleasantly while waiting for return
trains, by wandering through the
wooded aisles of the beautiful parks,
or enjoying the hospitality of Kane
village.
As night fell, huge bonfires, which
had been prepared, (one Item, if I re
member, being ten barrels of oil from
the Schultz well above Wilcox,) were
kindled, and soon the very sky seem
ed ablaze. Fire-baskets illumined the
woods, and barium and strontium
lights, set off from time to time,
caused the church to glow asbrllllantly
ly as the bonfires themselves. In the
midst of the light and festivity the
trains moved off with the happy
crowds, who felt that the day must be
marked with a red letter on the tab
lets of their minds.
