Owing to several years of hard times and low wages, many families have neglected to pay their doctor bills, and a large share of the laborers are com pelled to take store pay or nothing, leaving a very small margin for their physicians. There are but few busi ness firms tbat have taken any pains to secure the pay for the physician after treating his men or their families. . When we receive an order from a laboring man and present It to his employer, he says, "Why, that man owes me, Instead of me owing him, mid I positively can't phy another man's debts." Neither can we, nor do we Intend to doctor for nothing. Ve certainly are under no more obli gations to visit the sick for nothing than his neighbors are to put their hands in thelrpocketsand pay the bill. Physicians do more for the sick and poor tlran any other class of profes sional men. and they do it willingly nid cheerfully, and always expect to or it is their duty to do so, but we do not expect to devote all our time and medicine to nearly one-half our popu lation without remuneration ; not while quinine is worth six dollars per ounce. And now, while having no interest in railroads, lumbering busi ness, coul mining and tailing compa nies, we do not expect nor iMH we do rheir business for nothing. Let it le understood that the physl .lans of Rldgway haveeach purchased a black look, into which a good many names have already been inserted. These books will be frequently con sulted, that any Who are in arrears must first bring an order from their employer before services will be ren dered. And let it also be understood, therefore, that after January 1st, 1879, nil those indebted to us that have not paid tip within the last year, or paid part, or settled even by note, will not and must not expect to receive any benefits of our labor without iftish down, for we resumed specie payment mid no trust from January 1. 1879, or an order from their employer. We mean business. t. S. Hartley, I). B. Day, J. 8. Bordwell. Go to Morgester'S for apptfes, pota toes, pork and ham-. Doctor Bordwell drove his team of colts nearly across the ice on the pond opposite Osterhouts tannery, on Mon day afternoon. When within about thirty feet of the opposite shore about ten feet square of Ice gave way, with out warning, and the colts at once sank to the bottom, no pnrt of them being visible but their noses. Wm. MrChes ney was driving and the doctor was wa.king ahead, trying the ice as he proceeded. When the teatrt. sank the doctor at once seized then! by the bridles, thus holding their heads above water while the driver unhitched them from the cutter and went to the tan nery and got twelve or fifteen men to assist in extricating the team. Many of the men urged the necessity of cttt tingofftheharliess.but the doctor, w it li his usually cool head, convinced them that the harness was the very thing needed to pull the colts out. After a rope hnd been passed around the neck of one horse, and he Was safely landed on the ice, the other in the meantime standing on his tiptoe as it were, a board was slipped tihder him as he made a struggle to get out, and he was also pafely landed. The colts were at once hitched up and driven to the bnrn. and blanketed, and that same night the doctor drove to Do.r Hollow to see Joshua DaVidwrn's foot, they seeming to be none the worse for their icy bath. The ice was eight inches thick at the place of the break On Monday morning Doctor Bord well had engaged Judge Messenger to take his heavy team, each horse weigh ing from fifteen to sixteen hundred, to go across the ice at the point where the mishap occurred and bring over some wood from the opposite side. After cutting holes in the Ice to the middle of the stream to test the thick ness, the gentlemen concluded that it would be too risky for so heavy a team, but thought a lighter one would pass and repass in safety. For the purpose of testing the Ice th doctor made the trip in the afternoon, with the result as stated. The wood has hot yet been hauled. Pennfield, Pa., Dec. 31,1878. Editor of Advocate The Ben nett's Branch Sunday School Associa tion will hold a convention at Winter burn on January 17th and 18th. 1879. Beginning Friday (17th), on arrival of mail train going west 2 p. m. and closing on Saturday (18th) in time for the 4 p. m. train going east. All are invited. Yours truly, Nellie Bird, Sec. Treasurer McCauley, in retiring from the office of Treasurer of Elk county, carries with him the good will of all the citizens of the county for the able and Impartial manner in which he has discharged the important trust confided to his care. He found the county heavily in debt when he en tered the Treasurer's office, and now, as he gives place to a new man, hands over the books, which the annual set tlement will prove, show the county almost if not entirely out of debt. And this favorable showing is due, in a great measure, to the skill and un tiring vigilance with which the funds have been handled. May the new Treasurer, as we think he will, follow closely the path iuarked out by bis immediate successor. Administrator's Notice.
