Hays the Hi. Mary's Garette.
The Interesting eeremonics .Incident
to the laying of the corner-stone of the
court house now in course of erection,
took iilace in Ridgway yesterday. The
vent her was fine in the forepart of the
day. hut In the afternoon t he clouds
slightly marred the enjoyment of (lie
omission, ninny of the country peo
le being induced to go home by the
threatening aspect of the weather. It
did not rain to do nny hurt and the
festivities were not marred in the
least through this cause. The parade
which was to come oil', was like on nil
former occasions, both here and in
Ridgway, a failure in point of num
bers. All the parade amounted to was
tlie marshal, (Mierilt 1). C. Oyster,)
his aids, tlie St. Mary's Banil and
Company H, Captain Fred. Sclnriiin.g
commanding. They marched over
the route In line style, and received
many compliments for their tine
marching. Afler the parade a rest
was taken until one o'clock p. m ,
when the crowd eathered in the court
house yard to witness the ceremony of
laving me corner-stone.
The meeting was called to order hy

president judge of this judicial dis
trict, in which he confined his remarks
to tlie necessity of a new court house,
and the reasons which actuated the
court In approving the recommenda
tion of the grand fury iu condemning
the old court house.
Geo. A. Rathbun, Esq., then de
livered a short address and deposited

performing the Interesting ceremony,
with Edward Derby, Esq., acting for

An original poem was then read with
fine effect by Geo. It. Dixon, Esq.,
county superintendent. ,
Erasmus Morey, Esq., who partiel-
Eated in the laying of the corner-stone
ad the president read the following
as expressive of his feelings uihhi the
occasion. Mr. M. has been in the
county since 1813, and has witnessed
the growth of the county from the
time it was a wilderness until thepros
entday. He is 83 years old and can
not give expression to hi feelings in
words i
GEWTtBMS Commissioners:' I return my
sincere thanks for your invitation to be pres
nt the laying of the corner-stone of tlie court
house, and to tnke so prominent a part In the
proceedings. It is one of the (lnys of my life,
Jong to be remembered, and my wish Is that
you may get us up a good substantial build
ing, that will last for many iseiieratloiiH to
come; that we may have impartial Justice
ndmlsterod turall parties that may have liti
gations within its walls. E. JifoitKY.
Hon. Wm. P. Jenks, of Jefferson
county then delivered a 'practical ad
dress to the audience, which waa re
ceived with unbounded applause.
Hon. John Brooks, of Cmneron Co.,
who was a citizen of Elk at its organi
zation, gave the audience an address
which was a mixture of humor, his
torical facts and plain common sense.
The exercises were closed by an ad
dress In German by Hon. .'has. Luhr,
of this borough, which, judging from
the applause manifested, he made some
happy hits.
Capt. Fred. Scheming was called
for and he made a bow to the audience
and retired.
The St. Mary's band enlivened the
occasion with excellent music between
the addresses.
The laying of the corner-stone by
the gray haired veterans, was an im
pressive sight, and will long be re
membered by all who witnessed it.
The day passed off without a single
incident happening to mar the enjoy
ments of the participants. All were
in good humor.
In the evening a grand display of
fireworks wus made, which was con
ducted hy E. B. Westfall, Supt. mid
dle division P. & E. It. Ii., with com
petent assistants.

Says the Warren Mail.
The erection of a new court house is
a thing to be proud of by any .county.
Our temples of justice are monuments
in our inarch of civilization and order
Our records of title and property de
pend in some measure for safety upon
our liberality in the erection of these
public buildings. Our neighboring
county of little Elk, like our own
county a few years ago, had long felt
the need of better county buildings.
The old court house was erected when
the county was new and the people
poor". They have flourished iu later
year and are now abundantly able to
have county buildings suitable to their
wants. So a new court house was
commenced last spring, modeled some
what after ours. Mr. Marston, of
Warren, who superintended the con
struction of ours, has charge of the
work, which is a surllcient guaranty
that it will be well done. It hi so weil
under way that the coi ner-stone was
laid lost Wednesday with interesting
ceremonies. It was a great day for the
rural population of little Elk, and they
turned out largely. Hon. John (J.
Hall was President of the day, Sheriff
D. C. Oyster was Marshal, ami Co. H,
Capt. Schoening commanding, paraded
with the St. Mary's Band. Addresses.
Were made by Judge L. D. Wetmore
or wnose tnstrici tne county forms n
part, and Lleut.-Gov. Stone, of War
ren. Both were received with much
favor. Judge Luhr, of St. Mary's,
made an address in German, Speeches
were also made by Hons. W. 1'. Jenks
ana John .brooks. Tlie latter was a
citizen of the county when it was or
ganized, Mr. Erasmus Morey, aged
63 years, who has lived in the county
since 1S13, was present and made a
few remarks. In the evening a fine
display of fireworks took place, which
closed the exercises of a day long to be
rememuereu.

(Hays the Elk Democrat.)
Wednesday, July 16, 1870, has come
and gone, the corner-stone of our now
temple of justice has been laid with
much eclat, and, as we write, the work
of erecting the-magnifieent pllegoe9
steadily onward.
Tlie day opened beautiful and blight,
Nature seeming anxious to appear to
her best advantage on this red-letter
day in the annals of "Little Elk." It
was evident at an early hour that the
Jown would be tilled with strangers, ns
they came from every direction, some
on foot, some on horseback, and others
in conveyances of nil styles anil pat
terns A mammoth flag was suspen
ded over Main street between Hyde's
Opera House and the Hyde House, one
of equal size kissed the morning breer.e
from tlie top of the liberty pole in the
court yard, whiie upon the streets all
was bustle and activity.
At H a. in. tlie special train from
Renovo, consisting of four cars well
filled, nrrived at the depot, and was
followed at 11.30 by the four-car special
from Kane, three of which were filled.
Company H, National Guard of Penn
sylvania, having marched to the depot
before the arrival of these trains, es
corted the excursionists over to town,
the procession moving iu the following
order :
Chief Marshal D. C. Oyster.
Aids-F. C Ely. H. H. Wensel, W. A
Derby.
St. Mary's Comet Band
Company H, National Guard of Pennsylvania.
Excursionists and citizens.
The procession marched out Depot
street to Main, down Main to Elk,
when it countermarched up Main to
the Hydo House, where it disbanded.
At I o'clock t he people began to con
gregate upon the stand erected at the
northeast corner of the new building,
and at 1:30, the dignitaries having ar
rived, tlie exercises of the day were
opened by D. C. Oyster, who read the
list of oflicers of tlie day, as follows:
Chief Marshal D. C. Oyster.
Aids W. A. Derby, II. H. Wensel,
F. C. Ely.
President John G. Hall.
Vice President Benezette, Miles

Painter; Itidgway, Edward Derby,
Chas. Mead; Spring Creek, Martin
Perriu, Hiram Carman ; St. Mary's,
Joseph Luhr, Joseph Wilhelin, Igna
tius Garner.
Hon. John G. Hall briefly returned
thanks for the honor conferred upon
bim.and introduced Rev. J. M.Gillette,
who delivered an appropriate prayer.
Lieut. Gov. Stone and Judge Wet
more, of Warren, were introduced,
each of whom made an address of
about twenty minutes duration, which
were received by the audience with
outbursts of applause.
Geo. A. Rathbun, of Ridgway, was
the next speaker. At the conclusion
of his remarks he read the list of ar
ticles to. be deposited in the corner
stone, as follows :
We omit the list of articles, as it is
given in full in to-day's Advocate.
Tlie ceremony of laying the corner
stone was then performed by George
Dickinson, Erasmus Morey and Jesse
Kyler, three of the county's pioneers ;
Edward Derby, represented J. 1'.
Marston, the architect, who was con
fined to his room by illness, and An
thony Auman, foreman of masonry.
Afler the cement had been properly
spread, the stone cover was swung
into position by a small crane, and as
it settled into place Judge Dickinson
said: "Upon this substantial base,
prepared for this stone, we place it."
Afler tlie reading by the president
of a letter addressed by Erasmus
Morey, to tlie board of county com
missioners, congratulating them upon
tlie building of a new court house and
thanking them for the invitation to be
present at the corner-stone laying,
Geo. It. Dixon delivered an original
poem appropriate to tlie oecnsiou,
which evoked heartv applause.
Hon. W. P. Jenks, of Brookville,
was then introduced, who spoke ably
and well for nearly half an hour, and
was followed by lion. John Brooks, of
Sinncniahonlng, who read from man
uscript the longest speech of the day,
which was a curious melange of his
tory, reminiscence politics, theology
and philosophy.
Tlie exercises of the afternoon were
concluded by Judge Luhr, of St
Mary's, In a ringing German speech,
which seemed to be highly appreciated
by our German citizens
The nay was fnteusfy hot. yet so in
terested were the people in the cere
monies that many ot them remained
standing in the broiling sun during
the two and a Halt Hours taken up by
the exercises.
A heavy slorm threatened about
three o'clock to mar the pleasure of
tne occasion, dui lortuuateiv it missed
around, and ruin did not fall until
seven o'clock, when a brisk shower
of a few minutes duration acted like
a charm in allaying the dust and cool-
lug tlie atmosphere.
THE FIREWORKS.
At 8 P. M. Supt. Westfall. of Renovo.
assisted by J. H. Hagerty, J. P. Cur
tis, n. ti. wensel and w. A. Derby,
commenced setting off' the fireworks
from the stand erected in tlie north
east end of the court yard for that pur
pose, simultaneously witn wiucu Co
H, preceded by the st. Mary's band,
made a street parade.
The display of nreworks, which
lasted until 9:20, was a graud success,
und a fitting finale to the exercises of
the day. There was a variety of most
beautuul pieces, which were set oft to
good advantage by Supt. Westfall and
his efficient corps of assistants. In
deed, we feel safe iu saying that no
such exhibition of pyrotechnics was
ever before witnessed in the county.
And it was as cheap as it was beauti
ful, the entire cost, including express
charges, falling below one hundred
dollars.
Four balloons were sent up at inter
vals during the evening. All arose
majestically in a northwesterly direc
tion until a certain a tituile whh
reached, when they struck an adverse
air current and were borne oft in a
southeasterly course, followed by the
two thousand pairs of eyes congregated
along Main street and in the court
yard, until lost to sight, "though still
to memory uear." ine last two. as
thep ascended, emitted at short inter
vals bans or nre ot variegated hues.
which added much to the beauty of
ine scene.
The fireworks over, the crowd dis
persed. Our citizens sought the seclu
sion or tneir Homes, tnose troni abroad,
admonisned iy me wnistie or the loco
motive, that their train would not long
await their eoming, hied themselves
to the depot, and in a few moments
found themselves speeding on their
homeward way, filled with thoughts
or itiagway and tne day so pleasantly
I aim ho proniaoiy spent.

On motion of Mr. Gardner, seconded

On motion of Mr. Hyde, seconded
by Mr. Gardner, the board ndjourncd
to meet on the first Saturday in Au
gust. Idleness versus Industry .
Solon, one of the most eminent of
the phylosophers and lawgivers of an
cient Greece, gave to his countrymen
this law, "He that was thrice convicted
of idleness was to be publicly declared
infamous," and further ordered "that
trades should be accounted honorable
that the council of the Areopagus
should examine into every man's
means of subsisting, and chastise the
idle." While we have not so august a
tribunal as that which investigated
the business or occupation of every
person reported to that celebrated court
as an idler, we have a tribunal whose
power may be deeply felt by the many
drones who wantonly squander pre
cious time, golden moments, literally
sipping from the hive of life the sweets
gathered by nobler hands; we mean
the tribunal of public sentiment.
Could there be a general condemnation
an expressed harmony of opinion, and
thatso delivered that these moral pests
could not fail to interpret their mean
ing, we might not so frequently meet
those who have no visible occupation,
and who subsist almost wholly upon
the labor of their more industrious
friends. The public frown would
shame them into action and they,
would then take their places among
those, who, with manly front, face
every obstiele, and hew out for them
selves fortunes and a place.
The element of society to which we
allude though not so annoying as tlie
professional tramps, still represents a
faction of those distinguished gentry
and posess in a great degree many of
those qualities which constitute a
very large factor in tlie make up of
those gentlemen of the road. How
easy for the professional lounger to
slide into the ways and habits of him
who begs his bread from door to door.
Lazy, slouchiug and swaggering in
gait, he loiters along the public street,
lounges in saloons, bar-rooms or other
places of public resort, smoking, chew
ing, drinking, swearing and the re
cital of obscene jests or stories are his
accomplishments, while, to stand upon
the street corners or crossings and
leasurely and impertinently gaze at
every lady, who must elbow her way
through this pestilential crowd, is an
act at which he will not blush. How
far then, is he removed from his
brother the tramp? He possesses the
air, the odor and varied traits which
are the glory of your dignified tramp.
Work he will not except it be occas
ionally to earn enougn to purchase the
little cioinmg which marKs ms ranK
above his fellow on the road. "Time
money" every day is worth, to him
who labors, tlie price at which ho sells
ns service. So that lie, who squanders
time sjicnds money as much as he
who, with prodigal hand, scatters,
ofteu thegatherlngsof a lifetime; both
are spendthrifts. Good health with
strong muscles and a steady brain are
stock in trade, and if interested in
some business or trade, will pay a
large interest. Then put your time,
which is money, at interest, invest
your brawn, your muscle the capital
God has given you in tlie pursuit of an
honest trade. Uast lorever on tne port
