She was born iu Wexford county, Ireland, where she was married to Patrick Murphy who died about 14 years ago. She had been sick since Christmas, old ageand general debility lieing the cause of her death. Mrs. Murphy and her husband came to Elk county about the year 1853. She was the mother of seven children, owe, a daughter, dying a humber of years ago. Two sons, John and Patrick N. and four daughters are living, viz Mrs. Jas. McFarlaud. of this place. Mrs. Patrick Riley, of St Mary's, Mrs. Charley Smith, of Fox towuship, ana another married sister whose rest tienee we have not learned. The funeral took place at Centrerille on Saturday, 22d Inst., and wasthe largest seen in that place for years. Ridgway has better prospects be fore her than for several years past. The new court house will be built this summer, giving employment to a large number of meu, which will be of con iderable tcmjKirary benefit to the busi ness of our village, while the improve' mpnf. u-iU mnke owners of real pstnta feel more solid, and will Ve believe, actually add to the value of all realty The (Jresh coal development, on the Eagle Valley hill, will bring us if suc cessful a number of miners and their families who will spend their money with us, and add greatly to our pros perity. Then, there arc prospects thot the harlcy coal riad will be built, adding another cubit to our stature. Taking all the surface indications we are reasonably safe in the prediction that the village of Ridgway will, ere many years, lie a busy and important place. All this notwithstanding the croaking of the croakers that Ridg wag has seen her best days. Wilcox Letter. We noticed with pleasure the Ridg way school report. Parents can read with interest the progress of the scholars. We notice forty are marked ninety, and upwards; one in the whole school one hundred, twoninety nine, this is In third standing in the class of nineties. It gives new Interest to the citizens, and encouragement to the school ; I doubt not the people of Wilcox would be pleased with a simi lar report of this school. It brings the school and its Important work before the public We would encourage ainging, "declamation, recitation at proper times and thorough handling the school; invite parents to attend these exercises. How it braces up the heart of the teachers in their arduous task. I have never heard of this school through a visitor. Parents are you awake to the education of your children? We have not beard any profanity among the children of late. We write this to their credit. A large sabbath school at the Re formed church last sabbath. There were five new scholars present. A committee has been appointed to look after scholars. The Temperance service was very largely attended on Sabbath evening. I would suggest that parents look after their children In regard to this prac tice, you cannot begin too young. And while a great many great men, have smoked, and do smoke, a great many very great and good men, have never smoked, and do not smoke, and I prefer the latter. Our churches and schools must soon come out of the ranks of our children. Fortunes are wasted in drink, families sent to the poor house and some children and young men to the jails. Some people re always poor through drinking and smoking. Let our communities be built up in virtue, temperance and religion, the imperishable supports of civilized society. The sick of our village are growing better. Several strangers iu town. Times are looking more cheerful. It is hoped that the spring may bring to our community greater thrift and prosperty X. - Personal Notes. Peter Houghtalling is in very poor health. Samuel Lewis complains of a bad cough.

They became con vinced that somebody was stealing either goods or money from them, for their profits were every year less by $5,000 than the business should have yielded. They instructed their chief book-keeper, Algeo, to hunt for the thief, and he made what appeared to be a thorough but ineffectual investi gation. Tlicn a junlorpartner went to work on his own account, and soon fixed the guilt on Algeo, who confesses having stolen 30,000 within six years. The Williamsport Gazette & Bulletin says: The Widow Oliver, who is prosecuting a breach of promise case against Hou.

In the Washington court yesterday General Butler, counsel for General Cameron, produced the "widow's" husband, to the consternation of those who were backing her.

Important to Township Auditors. Township auditors too often neglect the publication of the township ac counts. This Is required by law, and penalties are affixed for neglect. Cases have come before the courts in several counties of the State, and the auditors have been fined for neglect. The sub' stance of several laws on the subject is as follows: First. The auditors are required in each borough aud township to settle the accounts thereof, and to publish the same not only in news papers, but also by written or printed statements put up in the most public places in the borough and township, as soon atter the close or tue nscai year, which is on the first Monday In April, as possible. Second. If the borough or township is in debt, has a funded or floating debt it most be included in the state ment, together with the valuation of property, etc.and in at least two news papers, and embraced in the written or printed statements aiso. It is necessary that the auditors of the respective boroughs and townships should go to work at once and settle the accounts, as they are in duty bound to do, and have them published as the law directs, When the borough or township has ho indebtedness, neglect to publish Incurs a fine oT $20; but if the borough or township is in debt.the neglect incurs a fine of one thousand dollars.

Observer, Is rendered by prompt remittance of the trifling sum that each one owes; which trifle makes the paper what it Is. Some of our best friends forget or neglect this little matter on the mis taken plea that one among so many will make no difference. It just makes the difference between strength and weakness, between a live, growing, in structive, entertaining sheet, and, and one of the other sort. If you would have the best family paper that is made you must pay for it. It costs you less than a half a cent a day, and the more the shame and the sin if you do not give yourself and family the good of It. A Letter for Murphy. A little freckle face ten-year-old school-loy stopped at the postoftlce, Columbia, the other day and yelled out: "Anything for any of the Mur phy's? , "No, there Is not." "Anything for Jane Murphy? " "Nothing." "Anything for Tom Murphy?" "No, sir, not a bit." " Any thing for Terry Murphy ? " "No; nor for Pat Murphy, nor Den nis Murphy, nor Pete Murphy, nor Paul Murphy, nor Bridget Murphy, nor for any Murphy, dead, living, un born, native or foreign, civilized or uncivilized, savage or barbarous, male or female, black or white, franchised or disfranchised, naturalized or other wise. No, sir, there Is positively noth ing for any of the Murphy's, either individually, jointly, or severally, now and forever, one and inseparable." The boy looked at the postmaster In astonishment and said : " Please to look if there is anything for my teacher, Clarence Murphy." Ex. ' '" Medical virtues of Onions. A mother writes: "Once a week invaria bly and was general when we had cold meat minced I gave thechildren a dinner which was bailed with de light and looked forward to; this was a dish of boiled onions. The little things knew not they were taking the best of medicine for expelling what most children sufTer from worms. It was a medical man who taught me to eat boiled onions as a specific for a cold in the chest. He did not know at that time, till I told him that they were good for anything else." The above appears in the Lancaster jycto Ear, and having fallen under the eyeofao experienced physician of that county, lie writes as follows: "The above ought to be published in letters of gold inn! hung up beside the table, so that the children could read it and remind their parents that no family ought to be without onions all the year round. Give children of all ages a few of them raw, as t hey are fit to be eaten, th ee or four times a week. When they get too large and strong to be eaten raw, then boil or roast them. ,Duririg unhealthy seasons, when diphtheria and like contagious diseases prevail, onions should be eaten once a day. Onions are invigorating and aprophy lactic beyond description. Fulher, I challenge the medical fra ternity, or any mother, to point ont a place where children have died from diphtheria, scarlatina, anginoss, etc., where onions were freely eaten." A Handsome Income For An energetic lady ok gentleman. The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati have just patented aud are now in troducing to the public a Handsomely finished Family Scale, an article that has always been needed In every household, aud in a communication addressed to the publishers of this paper the proprietors ask us to refer them to some reliable party, to intro duce it for them to the people of this County. It Is very seldom that a new article steps so suddenly into uni versal favor. House-keepers are loud in its praise, it is always ready, there are no weights to get lost or to be hunted up, it is reliable, and will not get out of order. The discrlption of them is a handsome base surmounted by a column In which works a spiral spring so scientifically adjusted as to weigh anything up to twelve pounds with perfect accuracy, on the top of the column is the platform on which the articles to be weighed are placed, and they have an adjustable Indicator so that you can take the tare of any vessel you may use in weighing, giving you the exact net weight. House-keepers at once see their value in weighing fruits, sugars and other ingredients used in preserving, cook ing etc., or in testing the weights of purchases from others. The scales are made of Brass, are highly polished and are finished in a skillful manner. They are very at tractive and take the eye of every one who sees them. It seems to us that nearly every family in this county will want one, and is certainly a rare opportunity for some smart and energetic party to pick up quite a nice little income during the next few months. The Company has agents in other couuties who are easily making from $5 00 to $6 00 per day selling them, and we would re commend parties iu need of employ, ment to drop the OHIO SCALE WORKS, No. 125 and 127 Central Avert ue, Cincinnati, O.', a Postal Card, and all information etc., will be cheer fully given them by mentioning our paper. ' Ten-Dollar Certificates. The Treasury Department has, by an amended circular, invited all collectors of customs, surveyors of the custom, acting also as collectors, receivers of public moneys post masters of money-order offices, and all other publio officers of whatsoever character, to become agent for the sale of ten-dollar four per cent refunding certificates author ized by the act of February last. Any such officer who may request to be thus employed will be promtly designated by the Secretary of the Treasury as a depositary for that purpose under the provisions of section 3639 Revised Statutes, -and upon his filing a satisfactory bond, he will receive, front the Department a supply of the certificates for sale not to exceed in amount at any one time the penalty of the bond which should be not less than $1000. A blank bond to be executed will be transmitted with tbe letter of designation. A commis sion of one-eighth of one per cent, will be allowed to officers on the sale of these certificates, and a like commis sion to banks and others purchasing them directly of the Treasurer or some assistant treasurer of the United States provided such pales or purchases by the party claiming the commission shall aggregate not less than $1000 within any one calendar month, and a party purchasing at one time $1000 or more of the certificates will be en titled to receive them free of charge for transportation. Commissions will be paid at the department by check on New York. A woman named Mrs. Sarah Groff who lives at Beartown, Lancaster county, about thirteen months ago, while taking a drink at a spring swallowed something which she took to be a small piece of wood. Three months ago she lost her appetite and began to grow thin and pale. Doctor after doctor was tried until the number had reached eleven, but none of them succeeded in reviving her. At length her case was given up as hopeless and site was told she must die. She was now reduced to a mere skeleton, weighing only forty pounds. Several days ago she went to Lancaster and there was discovered at the Leopard house 'by Dr. Campbell, the worm doctor of this city, who undertook to treat her for a tape worm. His method was so far successful that she was re lieved of no less than seven crabs, two large and Ave small ones, the former being fully one inch and the latter at least half an inch in length. The woman has regained her appetite and bids fair to ultimately recover her health. The case has excited a great amount of interest in Lancaster.
