Mrs. Alice Murphy died at the

In Fox township, on Thursday morn
ing, Marcli 20, 1879, aged 78 years.
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

The (Jresh coal development, on the

families who will spend their money
with us, and add greatly to our pros

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

Dunn & Co. are Philadelphia dry
good merchants. 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.

Bethlehem Church, P.oone county
James Rowland a well-to-do bachelor
farmer, bad a niece, Miss Julia Row
land, keeping house for him. Ou
Sunday morning his brother came on
a visit, and found the doors bolted and
the windows fastened, and hearing
groans inside, he forced open the door
and found his brother in a pool of
blood, a revolver by his side, and a
bullet hole in his head. On the bed
lay Miss Rowland, dead, with a photo
graph by her side, on which was writ
ten. " Denr sister, I have taken poison
and am going to my long and happy
home. Please forgive me for this."
Rowland is still alive, but refuses to
give a reason for the terrible affair
A rumor is current that Miss Row
land's lover was not acceptable to her
uncle, and rather than sutler separa
tion, she took poison, and that Row
land, viewing the sad consequences,
attempted to take his own life.
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.

The support, says the iV. Y. 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

"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

Paul Murphy, nor Bridget Murphy,
nor for any Murphy, dead, living, un
born, native or foreign, civilized or
uncivilized, savage or barbarous, male

individually, jointly, or severally,

The boy looked at the postmaster In
astonishment and said :
" Please to look if there is anything

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,

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.
