The sidewalk tax has been in creased from three to live milis on the dollar of valuation, and at this rate there will not be enough money to put sidewalks in all the places walks are needed.

During the past four years about thirty pupils of the Ridgway ('traded School have been examined by the County Superintendent, and licensed to teach fifteen of these haveattended school the present year. Many are now holding ftrst-olaKs.eortifioales, and eomo are among the best teachers of the county. At Centreville on Saturday night the store of .las. Taylor, in which is located the post-ollice, was broken into and a quantity of stamps taken. Three suits of old clothes were loft by the thieves who appropriated three new suits. Mr. Taylor was in town Sun day looking after the chaps, but did not succeed in finding them. The engineers have commenced the survey for Doctor Farley's coal road. Their headquarters are in the rooms above Doctor Hartley's drug store. Although a feather on a stump is no sign of a duck's nest, and a sur veying party no sign of a railroad, we have faith that the road will lie built, if not this summer perhaps next. The Toby coal fields are almost inexhausti ble, and without an outlet, which this new road will furnish. A queer blunder occurred in .one of theElmira churches upon the occa sion of the christening a bubo a few Sundays ago. In the confusion of the moment the clergyman mistook tho name and baptized the "little pre cious ' as 'William Henry, when, as the clown said, "it. wa-u't that kind of a cat." U was a girl. Some days afterward the mistake was rectified by the clergyman undoing his work and doing it over again, so the dear child will not go through lii'e as Miss or Miss Hank. MeKcaii .!; ;.

Mid Radishes A terrible and almost fatal accident occurred at Carpenter, on t lie Northern Central, railroad, on Tuesday. The particulars, as far as they have been ob tamed, areas follows: A party of six ladies were watching some men trail logs in the creek, leading to t he saw null of Weige'l & Miller, of i!iis city. Upon a nign uaiiK overlooking the mill, at a point about a hundred feet above them, was a pile of logs, which a teamster was engaged in hauling down to the stream. One of the logs suddenly broke away from him, and started down the steep hill directly toward the ladies who stood below, wholly un conscious of the danger they were in. Owing to the noise made by tin- stream, the ladies did not hear the log.as it came bounding down, or the shouts of the terrified teamster, unil the flying timber was within less than thirty feet of them. Of course the ladies did the best they could, in their terror, to make their escape. One of the num ber, Mrs. II. II. McNett, in her hurry fell, and the log rushed over her in its mad flight. It Was thought her life would be crushed out, and, upon being picked up, it was found that she was very severely injured in the hip and small of the back. Miss Celinda Newell, a sister of Mrs. McNott, only effected her escape by plunging into the water. How Mrs. .McNett escaped death is little short of miracu lous, as the hill, down which the log came, is much steeper than the roof of a house, and the log was moving at a fearful velocity when it passed over tier. The teamster in question is a brother of the two ladies, and it is im possible to describe the horrors of the moment to him. It was certainly a very fortunate thing that the afliiirdid not terminate more disastrously. Williamspor O. & IS. Oven's best crackers always fresh bt Morgester's.

Work wa then nece.-sarl v performed siowly and carefully as there were indications of lire-dami which necessitated the drhing and cutting of the coal with the pick alone. The opening was ell'ecicil at o'clock and Mine Superintendent Smith was the first to enter. He found some of the men cooking a breakfast of mule steaks taken from tiie mule which the boy wlio .was scut to warn them of the impending disasterhad fortunately taken with him ami which was killed kii the second day of their confine ment. The rest of the parly were en gaged in changing the direction kof mi air course. Very little was said and the entire party used all possible despatch in getting out of the mine reaching the surface soon after o'clock. Tiie crowd that had assembled was very enthusiastic and repeatedly rheered the rescued men and their plucky de liverers. The men weio then sent to their home. They state that during Saturday and Sunday they could hear the party firing blasts, and when the Wanting ceased they believed that the work had been stopped and that they were abandoned to their fate. They also say they could have subsisted at least two weeks longer, had it been necessary, upon their supply of jerked mule meat. Too much praise cannot be given to the brave men who accomplished the work of driving and timbering a passage way of 1,-00 feet through rock, slate and coal in the space of four days and nights, to the bosses directing the work, and to the engineering skill displayed in locating and directing the openings. The men, when released, had been confined five and a half days. They stood the long confinement very will. The boy upon reaching the surface leaped over the enclosure at the mouth of the opening and ran rapidly home ward.
