Hohrible Accident. Yesterday
morning, the 18th inst., as the Local
freight east was shifting cars at Drift
wood, they struck and killed Mr.
James Nafey, u butcher, of that place.
It seems that Mr. Nafcy at the time
was engaged in driving some hogs,
which had broken out of his slaughter
house, from the track, ahead of first
section of freight coming west, and
while thus engaged stepped from the
main track to the siding, his back to
the Local, which was backing down
the track. It struck him, throwing
him under the cars and mangling him
almost beyond recognition. He leaves

an antidote for the poison of the snake.

A Curious Fkkak of Natukk. A
cow owned by Mrs. Burk, who resides
on Chase street, recently gave birth to
a calf which is one of the wonders of
the nineteenth century. It has only
three legs, the left fore leg being the
missing member. But the strange
part of the story is that now, after ti ve
days have clasped since it was born,
it is as hearty and gets around on its
three legs as lively and nimbly as any
four-legged calf that ever came to dwell
upon this mundane sphere. The calf is
perfect in every respect, with the ex
ception as above stated. It is now the
property of Mr. J. B. Miller, the
butcher, who announces his intention
of raising and exhibiting it us a living
curiosity. It can be seen at his barn,
in the roar of his residence on Chaoe
street. Kane Blade,
Groves and Goodnight, Presbyter
ian clergymen, announced in Texas
that they had received a special divine
revelation, in which the end of the
world within ten years was foretald.
Their presbytery expelled them, but
they are making many converts, and
have started a sect called the Taber
nacle of the Coming Lord. They
preach that Grant, re-elected in 1880,
will invade and subdue Europe, over
throw Romanism, and finally meet a
downfall after which the millennium.
Tlio Melhotlist Episcopal Church,
KIDGWAV, EDK CO., PA.
This church was built in the years
1873 and 1874, when times were good
and, money was plenty. If I am cor
rectly informed a fair per cent, of the
leading and most influentlalc.itize'ns of
Ridgway encouraged the building of
said church. T.hese citizens were
doubtless divided in opiuiou as to the
extent of the financial ability of the
town to build. Rome thought f-5,000,
some $0,000, other some $ 8,000, of tills
last some the Pastor, Rev. W. Martin
was not the least, doubtles he was the
mmt, for that sum prevailed as the
measure of your financial ability to
build. Tills sum, it seems to me,
could not have prevailed without the
concurrence of a majority of the build
ing committee, and the trustees of said
church. And, furthermore, it does
not appear to me that the building
committee and trustees would have
consented to build to the extent of
$8,000 without the concurrence of
their constituents. Do you inquire
who were said constituents? I reply,
they should have comprised the rank
and file of Ridgway for the reason
that the Methodist (if the writer is
not misinformed) is the oldest denomi
nation in IUdgway. Thirty or forty
years ago what clergyman visited your
sick, consoled your dying, buried your
dead, and comforted your sorrowing
hearts by assuring you that you should
meet your loved ones again "In the
sweet bye-aud-by" in the life and
home beyond the grave? Is it not
just, based upon the fact of her senior
ity and services indiscriminately per
formed, that this denomination al
though poor, should have a church,
and that the community for whose
welfare she has, and does unremittingly
toil, should help pay for it? Is not
said church a credit to Ridgway?
Would a church less beautiful and less
costly have conferred as much honor
upon the county seat of Elk? Cer
tainly no person who rises above de
nominational prejudice, and views
things through the broad glass of that
charity' which thinketlt no evil and is
kind, will say that Methodism is not,
in the constellation of her sisterhood,
an honor to the world. If to the world,
then certainly to Ridgway. But we
will admit, that the Methodist society
at Ridgway should not have exceeded
$."),0(i0 in her church building. Now,
they did build to the extent of ?8,000,
that will leave $3,000 to come from
abroad. It shall be forthcoming, more
than one-half of said $:,000 is paid or
provided for, and we are good for the
other half. Now, that leaves $V00 for
Ridgway to pay Do you ssk how
can that amount, which according to
your showing was nearly $-1,500 when
you commenced your collecting, be
the amount of $nid debt. 1 reply, be
cause the trustees of said church," have
paid nearly or quite one-hitlf of the
a m mint of the subscriptions, on our
books, in interest, without receiving
one penny from said subscription.
Who has jnvid nn jHnUJ'cst. on his sub
scription? Until one year ago the
trustees paid ten per cent, on the
whole amount of debt, some of it
quarterly, part semi-annually, some
annually. The past year we have
been abroad and collected it among
the friends of Methodism. Is this
right? Shuld not every person who
owes a subscription to this church pro
ceed to pay said subscription? Is
there a God who is cognizant of our
actions? Does he reward men accord
ing to their works? If so can we pos
sibly lose anything by paying our
church subscription? Indeed can we
afford not to pay it? It must be paid
or we are guilty before Him unto
whom all hearts are open, and to
wlioui ail acts are known. Now, wc
have paid ten per cent, annually on
your subscription since it was given.
We cannot do it longer. It is ruinous.
Now, will yon please commence at
once to pay your subscription? Wo do
not wish in any way to distress or em
harass any of you, we make you this
proposition. Those who have large
amounts please divide them into ten
equal parts, and pay it monthly until
all is paid. That gives you ten months
in which to pay your subscription.
Those who have small amounts pay
half at once; the balance in thirty
days. This must strike every sub
scriber as a fair proposition. We give
you all the interest wc have paid on
your subscription. You will be waited
upon by a committee soon. Please be
prepared to meet a part, or all of yoftr
subscription.
In behalf of the Board of Trustees.

The County Newspaper.
It Is the best rend paper in the
world. No other contains news of the
marriages and deaths, to say nothing
of the divorces and births; no other
relates the accidents happening before
the doors of the villagers; no other
gives the time for the next ball, picnic
or political meeting ; no other discus
ses the affairs of the town and country,
the arrival of the new goods on the
merchant's counters, or a new hat on
the editor's desk. Occasionally de
fects and errors are overlooked by
those who have become attached to it
through its perusal for years. They
sometimes become dissatisfied with it
on account of something which has
slipped into its columns, and may stop
taking it; but the absence of the fa
miliar sheet at their homes or offices,
for a few weeks, becomes an insup
portable privation, and they hasten to
it again, and possibly apologize for
having it stopped. No friendship on
earth is more constant than that con
tracted by the reader of a journal
which makes an louest and earnest
effort to merit Itsj, continued support.
Hence a conscientiously conducted
paper becomes a favorite in the family.
Lock Haven Journal,
Fatat. Accidknt. On Thursday
afternoon last, about 8 o'clock, Frank
Wesley Gibbs, aged ten years, son of
Clias. W. and Mary E. Giblis, residing
in Erie avenue, near Twefth street,
this place, left his home in company
with several playmates, to gather a
few butternuts. The boys remained
away until about 5 o'clock, when they
wended their way home. When they
readied a place opposite the residence
of B. Burney, they heard the first sec
tion of Fast Freight coming in from
the east. Frank picked up a stickjuid
walked up to the railroad track to tip
each car as they passed by, a danger
ous piece of amusement frequently in
dulged in by older boys. By some un
accountable mishap, the lad fell, and
was hurled under a car, one wheel
passing over his left leg. The little
fellow managed to extricate himself
from his perilous position, and as soon
as the train passed he beckoned his
playmates to come to his assistance.
His playmates ran up the track and
notified some trackmen of the accident
The men repured to the scene of ac
cident, whore they found little Frank
with his leg crushed and bleeding ex
cessively. They carried him to the
home of his parent, medical aid was
immediately summoned, but not
withstanding the skill of two physi
cians, reaction failed to set in, and at
4:20 Friday morning, death came and
relieved him of his sufferings.
The deceased was a bright, active,
intelligent lad, and was warmly es
teemed by his many little associates.
The deepest sympathy was manifested
by all over his death. His funeral,
last Sunday afternoon, was largely at
tended. Renovo Itecord.
Suture's Triumph.
Nature, in her luxuriance, lias
clothed the hills and dales with herb
and shrub, whose occult natures
merely require the earnest application
of the scientific and inquiring mind to
reveal their curative properties, for in
the vegetable world a kindly provi
dcuce has placed healing for all na
tions. The only specifics for any dis
ease yet discovered are vegetable in
their nature, and while quinine lias
been accepted as tiie only remedy for
one class, the extract of the buchu
plant is rapidly taking its place as a
sovereign remedy for other of those
ills which afflict humanity. The
type of disease to which it is remedial
is a broad one, and its manifestations
are legion, but it may be stated in gen
eral terms that alfdiseases of the urin
ary organs, whether Caused by cli
mate, irregularity, or self-generated,
submit at once to the operation of its
power. Helmbold's Buclj, for all such
complaints, is the result of long re
search, and is acknowledged superior
to all other preparations.
Probably no one preparation has
received so much praise from, its pat
rons, nor is so deserving of commen
dation as Hall's Hair Renewer! We
but eclio the voice of the millions who
have used it when wo pronounce it
the best Hair Dressing in the world.
It stands unrivaled. Those who are
affected with diseases of the scalp ac
companied with itching or irritation,
And relief and renewal In a moderate
use of the Renewer will strengthen
the roots of the hair, and preserve it,
and if it exhibits a tendency to turn
gray it will restore the natural color.

Nebraska Crops.
Omaho, August 17. The Republi
can this morning publishes crop re
ports of the ten largest grain growing
counties in Nebraska. They justify
the best predictions made in the crop
report to the middle of July. Wheat
has been somewhat damaged, but wilt
show a fair crop average, sixteen to
twenty bushels to the acre. Oats show
very heavy, nearly fifty bushels to the
acre. The corn crop will be initncnse
and the finest ever known in the
State. All the small grain seems in
good condition.

Lemons. For tho sick headache
take a tumbler two-thirds full of finely
crushed ice, the juice of 1 lemon and 1
teaeupful of white sugar. This mixture
eaten by degrees or all at once will al
lay the feverish thirst and quiet the
disturbed qualmish stomach, as it is
not sweet enough to be nauseous. For
a cough or a tickling in the throat,
take the juiceof two lemons, the beaten
white of 1 egg, and enough powdered
or fine granulated white sugar to make
a thiu paste. A teaspoonl'ul of this
mixture will allay the irritation and
cure a cough in its early stages.
The real reason for the resignation
of Ministers Welch and Stoughton
from English and Russian missions
appears to be that the United States
does hot pay sufficient salary to enable
a representative to live in the style
which is expected of him. It cost
Minister Stoughton just twice as much
as he received to make his nation pre
sent a respectable appearance at St.
Petersburg.
