The New Conrt Hommu
Every visitor to our village Is pleased
with the appearance of the new Court
House so far as It has progressed. The
foundation wall on the west sldo Is
ready for the water table, and an Idea
can be formed as to how the stone
work will appear when oompleUd.
We are told, and we think reliably, that
It Is the Intention to build the whole
superstructure, that Is the walls, of
brick without any ornamentation.
This we think Is a mistake. Our Co.
Commissioners, during their last term,
earned for themselves the commen
dation of evey one for the manner In
which they had conducted the busi
ness of the office and the excellent
judgment displayed by them In all
places when re the exercise of that
faculty was required.
They should remember that In erect
ing a building of this kind, Intended
for public use and to last many years,
that something more than the plainest
kind of work, even though It be sub
stantial, is required. Such stone as
have gone Into the foundation are
plenty In Ridgway and within a short
distance of the public square; they
cut nicely, have good color, contrasting
with the brick, and will stand weather
as well as granite. It seems to us
that under the circumstances It would
be the part of wisdom to lay up the
corners of the walls at least with cut
stone as it would add but very slightly
to the expense. ' -.
The Improved appearance of the
building, so ornamented, would be
worth ten times the additional cost,
and the Idea of the architect would be
more fully carried out.
If it were a mere temporary structure
then we should say sacrifice every
thing but utility to cheapness, but as
it is hoped that the expenditure now
made will lost for generations, let us
have sometb i n g to please the eye as well
as a structure that shall be fitted for
the purpose for which it is designed.
If the plan of the building is followed
as it should be to make a harmonious
whole, we will have a Court 'House of
which all the citizens of our county
may well be proud Instead of a red
brick monstrosity which no one will
assume the task of christening.
Messrs. Commissioners please re-
meinembcr that :
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever,"
and spare us t ho unbroken Hues of
brick by building the corners of the
new Court House of cut stone.

The Boston co-operative grocery
under the Presidency of Josiah
Quincy, has been open three months,
and is said to be a success. The plan
is to sell uuadultered goods ut fair
prices, and return the profits to the
purchasers. With every sale a certifi
cate of the amount is given, and every
three mouths a dividend is paid on
these, shareholders receiving double
the rate given to outsiders, besides six
per cent, on the money invested. At
the first quarterly meeting, President
Quincy said: "Your organization has
already produced much good. Appli-
cations for your by-laws have been re
ceived from all parts of the United
States. Probably more than fifty
stores have beeu, or soon will be,
opened In consequence of your ex-
ample, and this most comprehensive
scheme of benevolence, resting on self-
help and material assistance, become
general through the land."

Two Men Dhowned. Saturday
afternoon last a painful accident oc
curred at Coder's dam, about two miles
below town, resulting in the death by
drowning of two young men, residents
of Unlou township, this couuty. It
has been the praotioe of a number of
young men living north of the Red
bank to VtaM the stream Saturday after
noons and evenings for the purpose. of
bathing, and last Saturday, About
noon, Michael Wluters, son of Mr.
Frank Winters, an old resident of
Union township, aud Mead Haugh,
son of Mr. David Haugh, of the same
township, aged nineteen and sixteen
years respectively, repaired to the
stream, and It seems that tbey went
into the water below the dam, where
it is very deep, and undertook to swim
.with the assistance of a plank or board,
and getting into deep water went down
and were unable to make their escape.
An alarm waa given by a brother of
Wluters, who was In company with
them bat, before assistance could be
rendered they were drowned. The
body of Haugh was soou recovered but
that of Winters was not found until
about six o'clock In the evening.
Mead Haugh was an only son, the
pride of his parents, and their sorrow
at bis untimely death Is very great.
Winters was the support of aged and
dependant parents, and his death deals
a double blow, one of sorrow for his
unfortunate taking off while yet bo
young and full of promise of a long
life of usefulness, aud that of taking
away the stay of their old age. We
deeply sympathize with the parents
and friends in their deep affliction.

A Mortoaqe. In the whole range
Lof sacred and profane literature, per
haps there is nothing recorded which
has such staying qualities as a good
healthy mortgage. A mortgage can
be depended upon to stick closer than
a brother. It has amission to perform
which never lets up. Day after day it
is right there, nor does the slightest
tcudency to slumber impair its vigor
in the night. Night and day, on the
Sabbath, and at holiday times, without
a moment's time for rest aud recrea
tion, the biting offspring of its exis
tence, Interest, goes on. The seasons
may change, days run into weeks,
weeks into months, and months may
be swallowed up into the gray man of
advancing years, but that mortgage
stands up in sleepless vigilauce, with
the interest, aperennlal stream cease
lessly running on. Likea huge night
mare eating out the sleep of some rest
less slumberer, the unpaid mortgage
rears up its gaunt front in perpetual
torment to the miserable wight who is
held within its pitiless clutches. It
holds the poor victims with the relent
less grasp of a giant; not one hour of
recreation, not a moment's evasion of
ita hideous presence. A irenial savaire
of uiodifylnga8pect, while the Interest
is paid; a very uevu ot hopeless ne
st ruction when the payments fail.

A young lady subscriber in the
country says she has seen in the pa
pers that goats eat old fruit cans, wire
clothes lines, barrel staves, hoop Iron,
broken bottles aud grindstones, and
she asks us if it is really true that these
animals subsist on such a diet? It is
not true. This bill of fare Is slightly
exaggerated. A goat will not eat boots
as long as there are any old hoop skirts
about the premises, and their line of
food must be drawn at broken bottles.
Probably if a goat was buried eight
davs in a coal mine, with no food save
a lot of broken bottles, he would de
vour them before he would undertake
to eat through a solid vein of coal
seventy-five feet thick, but it is ex
tremely doubtful. Exchange.
