RIDGWAY, TA., AUG. 23, 1878. Notes. Cool mornings and evenings now. A heavy rain storm here yesterday. It la lawful to shoot squirrels after September 1st. Veal was plenty at the wreck on Saturday night. Elderberries are ripe. It Is not yet time to cut elders. Apples are likely to be a scarce and dear article this season. Croquet is not played to an alarm ing extent in Ridgway this season, The Ridgway borough petition will not be presented until the Novem ber term of Court. The potato tops are nearly all dead, and the yield of this necessary crop promises to be very light There is considerable sickness in this village, although we hear of no cases of a dangerous character. About these days our farmers are busy plowing their ground prepara tory to sowing the winter wheat crop, Another railway article appears in this issue. These articles will be con tiuued until the subject is written up. There is some talk now of killing all the Indians and all the Indian agents, after which our Indian wars will be a thing of the past. Company H went to Lakeview, Chautauqua lake, on Tuesday last, The boys will have a pleasant time, and we regret our inability to go with them. The Democratic politicians are very busy at present. Next Saturday is the time for the primaries, and the Tuesday following the convention will be held. There lain Philadelphia a baby, not a very remarkable thing, but when it is known that the baby only weighed sixteen ounces when fourteen days old, the wonder is complete, Such ia a fact. The Ridgway Dramatic .Society will give an entertainment at Hyde's Opera House on Tuesday evening, September 3d, 1S78. Two plays will be given, "The Last Loaf," and " The Boys of 177G." The performance we Lave no doubt will be well worth hear Ing. Admission 25 cents ; reserved seats 35 cents. The new county of Lackawanna, which has been cut off from Luzerne by the popular vote of last Tuesday week, has a population of 83,000, .and includes two cities Scran ton ana Car bondale 10 boroughs, IS townships and 72 election divisions. Its extreme length is 37 miles and extreme breadth 22 miles, while its area is 340 square miles. Its assessed valuation is $io,- 645,478. Supt. Black, of the Cascade Mines, near St. Mary's, and another reliable gentleman, state that there Is appar ently a great commotion in the bowels of the mountain about one mile east of St. Mary's. The sound, like heavy thumping, is spasmodic, and during the sound there is a perceptible trem bling of the earth. Many people have visited the place and agree in the state meat There are no mining excava- tions in this mountain, and what causes the strange commotion is un accountable. Cameron Press. The new fee bills for sheriffs, pro- thouotaries, clerks of theseveral courts, registers and recorders, passed at the recent session of the Legislature, ap plies to all counties having more than ten thousand and less than one bun dred and twenty thousand inhabitants It makes a universal reduction of the fees, and will lessen the value of the several offices to a considerable extent. The reduction in the sheriff's fees will M0 to 50 per cent., those of the pro-thonvtai-y 30 to 40 ier cent, and those of the lecher and register 20 per cent. - In the twenty .Qftij congressional district, composed oi clarion, Arm strong, Indiana, Forest b. Jefferson counties, the Democrats hVe nom inated J. M. Guffey, of Clarion, and the Greenbacks James Mosirrove. A Harry White has been endorsed by all the counties, and has no opposition, he may fairly be considered the Re publican nominee, although he has not yet received the formal ratification of the district conference. Four years ago Geo. A. Jenks, Democrat, was elected in this district over White bv ( 11,627 to 11,109. In 1870 White received jo,i5ii, and jenKs 13,397 votes. A freight train was wrecked be tween Shawmut Station and Dagus- cahonda on Saturday night. The train broke in two nieces. The ene-l - o- neer of the front piece discovering something wrong sent a brakeman back to ascertain the cause. As soon as the brakeman discovered the train had uncoupled, he signaled the engi neer to stop. The engineer of the pusher on the back piece not knowing anything was wrong, went ahead as usual, and when he reached the front part of the train the cars commenced puing up at a fearful rate. Eight or ten cars were thrown from the track, containing wheat, corn and merchan dise. One car contained fifty-seven veal calves, fifteen were killed outright, and five wounded so badly that they were killed to put them out of misery. We are unable to give a very close guess as to the loss, but fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars would no more than cover it. Some butchers from St. Mary's bought the calfskins at two cento a pound, thereby making a little money, as the hides are worth in the market from eight to teuceutH. Personal otes. Sam Is back. J. B. Johnson is home again. Rhines has opened his billiard hall. He carried a bundle of cloth under his arm. Horace Little is spending a few days in our village. Charles Holes has some very large and fine tomatoes. Doc. Fullerton's swing cost him Just ninety-five cents. A man told us the other day that our garden was weedy. Powell & Kime have adopted the ready-pay system In their store. Charley Matthews' fence has taken a mechanical lean toward the side walk. The cricket sings a sorrowful tune as he thinks of summer's lengthening shades. A dog stole Capt. Schoening's Sunday roast, and the Captain was not pleased about it. Miles A Noon have finished plas tering the Sheffield school house, and came back here yesterday. J. S. Powell has made a new top for a hack for the Brock wayvillo stage hue, now owned by Jacob McCauley. Gen. R. C. McGill, of St. Mary's, called in to see us last week, and is looking hale and hearty as ever. Miss M. Frank Stout, for some time in the employ of James McAfee, tailor, Is on a visit to Lock Haven. Nothing like keeping batchelor's hall. We have tried it a couple of weeks now, and speak from experience. Mrs. Miles has been away from home three weeks, come back again, and we never knew a breath about It. Those weeds fn J. Powell's lot had been cut down several days in fact, were down when our article was written. '.." Hagerty has sold his stock of 1 . . . f " 1 1 a. 1 r i i i I . gouus to jvicuioin . jucuecmu, anci purposes retiring from the mercantile business. Nelson Jackson, bar tender at the Ridgway House, is now minus a shirt and three gold studs, all" taken by a chap representing himself as one of Custer's soldiers. That poetry we received from a certain correspondent last week is not of sufficient general interest to admit of publication, although full of point and pith to those unfortunates who were there. On the wall in a certain merchant tailoring establishment in this citv U displayed a sign " Positively All Goods roiu on Time." We presume that tailors are like printers and shoe makers, with plenty of hard cash, and synipatny tor a moneyless man. Ten cent pieces appeared to be plenty on our streets the other day .Several parties, ladies as well as sen tluiuun, utoopod to ooixjuer, but, on reaching the shining treasure, were re- mniueu oi tne trite out adage that "all is not gold that trlistens." as the tin foil of which the piece was made crumbled in their grasp.

He was working around the smut machine, when his whiskers came in contact with part of the gearing, completely striping one sine oi nis race before letting go. He was not aware that he was caughl until the machine loosed its hold : and probably, had the whiskers been a nttie stronger, the result would hav been much more serious. Thomas H. Rhines did some tall pike fishing last week. Monday fore noon ne caugnt four; Tuesday fore noon two Wednesday all dav two Thursday afternoon two. makinir ten pike in all, weighing on an average five pounds each, would make fifty pounds or hsli. He has caught two turtles, one weighing fourteen and th other sixteen pounds. Altogether, he caugnt tnis summer seventeen pike, four between rock edy and Spriug ureen edy; the rest between Bea ureen ana (spring creek edies. We call this good fishing, and if any one can neat it, we would like to see their score. To finish up with, he killed large rattlesnake on Tuesday.

Among the five whoescaped were pris oners incarcerated for high offenses. Slate Notes. Henry Wonders.of Indiana c6unty was fatally kicked by a horse." Some Erie partlea are trying to raise $3,000 to bore a test well for oil near that city. Wm. Phares, aged ninety-five years, died In Bucks county recently. Three years ago he went on a gunning expedition. Joh'nny Steel, (Coal Oil Johnny) at one time a millionaire of the oil re gions, is now clerking in a grocery store in Dennison, la.

His creditors number 4(30. Milton Allen, an old farmer, of Canton township, Bradford county, recently left the country, and his whereabouts are unknown. His wife has been bed-ridden for thirteen years, and it is thought he left in order to avoid supporting her. Twenty persons filed petitions in bankruptcy at Pittsburgh on Thurs day. This is the last month forgoing Into bankruptcy. The repealing act passed at the bust session of Congress goes into effect on the 1st of Septem ber, and then the petition mill will cease to grind. Hugh P. Shelter, cashier of the bank in Lewislmrg, Union county, for fifteen years, was arrested recently at Mount Joy, on a charge of embezzling between 50.000 and $G0,0O0. In de fault of $20,000 bail he was committed. He had been residing for some time at Charleston, West Virginia. The Standard oil company are lay ing a pipe line from the Cosmos oil works along the Allegheny Valley railroad to the Standard works, in Pittsburg, a distance of nearly three miles.

It has been already phown that the distance from Buffalo to Falls Creek by tne line of this road is igo.8 miles. From Falls Creek a route has been ex. amlned following the Sandy In a southeasterly direction to the summit between the Sandy and Anderson Creek, and thence down Anderson Creek to Curwensville, making the distance from Carrollton to Curwens ville 110 miles, and from Buffalo to Curwensville 178 miles. At Curwens ville the llneconnectswith the Tyrone and Clearfield railroad, by which road it is 44 miles to Tyrone on the Penn sylvania railroad. The distance from Buffalo to Tyrone would be by this route 222 miles. The distance between the same points by way of the Buffalo New York and Philadelphia railroad, the Philadelphia and Erio railroad and the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, is as follows: Buffalo to Emporium, 121 miles ; Emporium to Lock Haven, 74 miles; Lock Haven to Tyrone, 55 miles, or, in all, 250 miles, a difference of 28 miles In fuvor of the Pennsylva nia and Erie railway. Curwensville is placed In the second coal basin, which runs parallel with the other bitumin ous basins of this region. The natural outlet for the coal of this basin, and also for the first basin, is to the east, from which It may be inferred that this road, even if built to Curwens ville, would carry little or no coal north from that region. The deposits of bituminous coal which this road crosses, and which lie to the weat and south of it, have been compared to the human hand the solid continuous portion to the southwest forming the palm; while, as we go toward the northeast the strata rise and partly disappear, leaving whatreniains in the shape of long strips, or " Basins," represented by the fingers of the hand. Still further toward the northeast, the strata still rising, one coal vein after another disappears until finally near the line of New York even the lowest workable ones are uo longer found. These basins are. curved and nearly parallel, and have' been numbered from the east toward the west, the east ernmost one being called the First Basin. The Philipsburg, Snow Shoe and Farrandsville coal fields aro in this basin. Curwensville' Clearfield, and Karthaus are in the second basin. The dividing line between the second and third basins would cross the pro posed line of this road probably on Warrant No. 2002. Reynoldsville, Fall's Creek, Dubois aud nearly the entire length of Bennett's Bianch,of the Sinnemahoning are in the third basin. The dividing line between the third aud fourth basins is crossed by the line of the railroad on the ridge between the Rattlesnake and Fall's Creek. St. Mary's, Centervllle and the entire valley of the Little Toby down as far as Galusha's and most all of its tributaries nr in the fourth basm. The dividing line between the fourth and tho fifth basins crosses the Little Toby aud the line of the rail way between Galusha's and Blue Rock, crosses the Shawmut railroad in Warrant No. 4392 ; crosses Elk Creek and the Philadelphia and Erie railroad near the mouth of Mohan Run, and continues northeasterly, passing nearly midway between St. Mary's and Jobn souburg. The coal fields about Port land, Johnsonburg and New Flanders are In the fifth basin. The dividing line between the fifth and sixtli basins is not as well defined as the divisions east of it ; it crosses the Philadelphia and Erie railroad, the Clarion river and the line of this railway not far from Wilcox, thus leaving all the re maining coal fields to the north of this point, along the line of the railway, in the sixth basin. The divisions be tween the various basins have been treated as " lines," but in reality the separations are in some localities so wide that there are large tracts of land lying detween the basins, in which no coat Is found. The important streams run sometimes lengthwise and some times across the basins in deep, and, in some instances, quite wide valleys, from which tho coal has nearly, or quite all, disappeared. It, therefore, be comes necessary, when estimating the quantity of coal in a certain district, to make very liberal deductions from the entire area in order to allow for these valleys and separations. The hills and ridges, in some instances only a few feet wide on top, widen out as we go down toward the streams; consequently, the first vein of coal which we meet in going down will be considerably less in extent than the vein which lies below it and the second one, in turn, will spread oyer a smaller area than the next one below it and so on down to the lowest which will bo tho largest in area of all. If, by any process, the tops o these hills were worn away, of course the upper most strata and veins of coal would disappear first, leaving only the lower veins in the hill. From all of which it will readily be seen that, in the ab sence of actual measurements, there is ample room for a diversity of opinion as to the amount of coal that may be contained in any particular, tract or locality. Yellow fever still raues with terri ble violence in Grenada and Vicks- burg, Miss., and Memphis, Tenn. Cases are reported at Washington, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The horrors in the Southern cities are be yond description, and hundreds of people are dying tor want or medicine aud nursing. The disease is spreading with terrible rapidity, and still coining North. The great dailies are filled with column after column of the names of victims, in the different Southern cities. A Card. We desire to say to our numerous friends and patrons that owing to the Impossibility of collecting outstanding accounts, we find ourselves unable longer to do a time trade, and there fore from this day forward will sell only for cash or ready pay. We will endeavor to keep our stock full and complete in every department, and will sell at the very bottom of the market. We will not be undersold. We trust our friends will at once see that this change in our manner of deal ing will be to the mutual advantage of both buyer and seller.

We learn from the Sellnsgrove Times that a frightful accident occurred at Gross' steam saw mill, near Shamokin Dam, on the 0th inst., by the explosion of the boilers. Charles Elliott, Engineer, on returning to the mill after dinner, discovered that the water in the boil ers was low. Instead of drawing the fire, he recklessly or ignorantly filled the boilers with cold water, the ter rible result of which he did not live long enough to know. There was a terrible explosion and the air was filled with all sorts of debris. Elliott was thrown one hundred feet distant into a pile of wood. His body was mangled and dead. A boy named Charles Freymeyer was blown one hundred and fifty feet into the canal and was instantly killed or drowned, John Gross, one of the owners of the mill, was blown a considerable distance against a heavy log, and was badly scalded and dead when found. Wes. Freymeyer was knocked senseless and severely scalded, and Isaao Fetter had his head badly cut both expected to die. Jacob Hendricks had his hands scalded. The mill was ruined com pletely.

Probably the greatest excitement which is created now-a-dnysamong our people especially the ladles Is caused by a violation of one of our postal laws. This law provides for the send ing of packages and parcels through the malls at very low rates, but ex cludes all written matter. Half a dofcen words, or even less, enclosed In a book, a parcel of worsted work, a box of confectionery or flowers, or In any other like manner, makes the whole package liable to letter postage. It Is not very comfortable to receive a small parcel, generally of exceedingly trifling value, and be obliged to pay fifty to seventy-five cents on it, be cause it contains a lino or two of wri ting. Several decisions have recently been made regarding writing, pencil marks, etc., which should be heeded. We hope that those who have riot heard of the law excluding all writing from packages sent by mall, will now take notice of the fact and the thoughtless will also spare their friends much annoyance by remembering It, Ex. Disinfecting Foul Places. The Advocate would call attention to the Importance at this season of getting rid of all vile smells about dwellings, and make tills practical suggestion "The article commonly used to disin feet foul places Is chloride of lime, but in realty it is not of much value". It may and generally does remove bad smells, but the cause still remains, as the chloride simply destroys the gaseous emanations. Tho much ad vertised disinfectants are usually catch penny nostrums, and unworth of notice. One of the very best known disinfectants is old-fashioned '"cop peras," or sulphate of Iron, which can be had very cheap. A barrel of cop peras would weigh probably 300 pounds, and can be purchased at whole sale price for a cent and a half per pound. And every family ought, es pecially in warm weather, to have a supply of it on hand. A couple of handfuls of copperas thrown into a bucket of water will soon dissolve, and It can then be used freely, and it is a valuable disinfectant. The best plan is to fill a half barrel or keg with water and suspend within it a moderate-sized basket full of copperas. In this way it dissolves more rapidly than when thrown to the bottom of the wooden vessel, and thus a supply is always at hand ready for use. The Lehigh car and wagon company of Stemton has received an order for the construction of 500 house cars for the Erie railroad. While Mrs. Wm. Hake, mother of a two year old child, was drawing water from a well in York county the infant fell to the bottom and was drowned. Awarded the Highest Medal at Vicuua and Philadelphia. E. & H. T.
