Hutting1 Accident.
Willie Sheehan, Martin and Willie
Cunningham, three boys aged re
spectfully 13, 12 and 10 years, were
out after beech nuts last Sunday after
noon in the woods back of Michael
Sheehan's out lot on South street. The
two Willies cut down a beech with
their little hatchet while Martin, who
was in the tree, was to jump in time to
save himself from injury. He failed
to make good his calculations, and,
instead of jumping he fell with full
force on a small bircB stump, about
three Inches in diameter, which resulted
in three broken ribs and three badly
scared boys. It appears that Willie
Sheehan carried water in his new hat
to throw in the face of the injured boy,
from which fact it would seem that
the fall made him unconscious. Bo
that as it is, however, the injured lad
got home with the assistance of the
two boys. Dr. Bordwell was called
and did all he could for the comfort
of the victim of misplaced confidence.
The boy has suffered a great deal, and
if he lives it will be a wonder. All
of which is to warn boys not to go
nutting on Sunday, and if they do to
stay out of trees while being cut down.

Baptismal Service.
A very interesting service was held
at Grace Church, Rldgway, on Sunday
aftcrnoou Inst, October 19th. Three
adults and five children were bnptiezd
and admitted into the Church, and
one child, having been baptized pri
vately while elck, was also admitted
into the Church by the vows of
sponsors. Everything Was done
decently and in order,' , which Is a
characteristic and rank of distinction
In all the services and ceremonies of
the Protestant Episcopal Church.
The candidates and children baptized
were ranged in an inner circle round
the Font. ' The witnesses for the
adults, and sponsors for the children
surrounded them forming an outward
circle. All seemed deeply and seri
ously impressed with the importance
of the occasion, and the adults and
sponsors for the children answered
the questions put to them from the
office of the "Ministration of Bap
tism," in the "Book of Common
Trayer," promptly and distinctly, de
noting that they were in earnest, and
had a fixed determination to keep and
perform the vows which they, then
and there, took upon themselves.
The Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev.
J. B. Kerfoot, D. D., has advertised
his intention of visiting this parish on
the fifth day of November for the pur
pose of confirming such persons as
desire to receive this Apostolic Rite.
There are several candidates now un
der instructions. They are being
taught the nature and design of this
scriptural ordinance, chiefly by the
use of a catechism prepared and pub
lished by the Rector of Geace Church,
Rev. H. H. Hewitt.
Quick-Train Watehes.
THE ROCK FORD WATCH COMPANY.
This company has adopted a policy
somewhat different from that pur
sued by others engaged in the same
business, the salieut point of which is
that it deals directly with the retail trade
only. The result Is that, commencing
with fifteen movements per day, it now
produces forty-five per day, and is still
increasing its working force to meet
the demand. While, in general form
and details of construction, there is a
similarity in all American watches,
there are, among them, important dis
tinctive features recognized by those
competent to judge. One of the pe
culiar points of the Rockford watches
is this: That all of them, the cheap,
as well as the finer, movements have
the "quick train.'' To the uninitiated
this phrase, "quick-train," is enigmat
ical. Therefore, in explanation, it
may be said that the "quick-train" is
so called from the fact that, in move
ments thus constructed, the vibrations
cf the balance-wheel are 18,000 per
nour, wliile tne slow-train (a move
ment more generally used) the vibra
tions of the balance-wheel are about
lb.OUO per hour. The superior advan
tages of the "quick-train" are illus
trated by the simple fact that, in the
f 1 radical operation of any machine, be
t a watch or a locomotive, the more
rapid Its motion-the less is it disturbed
by any external jar. For this reason
the Rockford watch, in exacting
service, sucn as railroad use, lias de
servedly acquired a reputation through-
out the country second to no other
movement. Tltese goods nave already
found a market in Europe, where
their merits are recognized. In ordi
nary use, such as that of the profes
sional man, the merchant, and men of
similar occupations, a slow tram
watch may serve the purpose. But,
in any use, such a movement is a fickle
anil uncertain time-rneee. esiiecinl v
rbn a railway where a slow-train watch,
subjected to extraordinary trials by
the violent oscillations of the train.
fails to satisfy tho requirements, its
constant tendency, almost impossible
to overcome, being to lose time- Here
then, is a most trying test of a time
piece, on a rapidly moving locomotive
in the hands of an engineer, who, re
lying on his faithful watch, carries
the lives of hundred! in his hands,
Rockford movements have won de
served laurels.
True other American Watch Com
panies make quick-train movements,
out such movements are made by them
witu scarcely any exceptions, in ex
pensive grades only, while the cheaper
ones are constructed with the "slow-
train." The brakemen and baggage
men, receiving tar less wages uiau en
gineers and conductors, can not all'ord
to purchass these expensive quick
train movements.
To meet their wants, commensurate
with their means, the Rockford Watch
Company oilers them its cheap move
ments, with the quick-train.
In general, it may said that, in any
occupation, a slow-train watch has, at
best, a mere chance to do well, while
a quick-train movement is sure to give
satisluctory results. C'has. Holes

Letter from Mr. Ames.
St. Maky's, Pa., Oct. 10th, I87ff..
Gkntlumkn : I have, after much
hesitation and reluctance, concluded
to consent to the use of my name as a
People's candidate for District Attor
ney. In so doing, I totally disregard
my own feelings, and yield to a solici
tation far in excess of anything I had
ever expected to receive, and cannot
think that it is because of any worth
or merit in me, but a desire to take
advantage of my opponent's unfortu
nate position, that certain rights of the
people may be maintained. In allow
ing the use of my name, I must ask
that it be entirely shorn of party, and
understood that I am purely a People's
candidate. Hard, discreet work must
be done, and let me ask that the etibrt
may be dignified, and that no low
means whatever be used for success.
Ifyouwin.let the victory be honor
able; if defeated, let the defeat leave
no sting of conscience. Should our
opponents see fit to inaugurate an
undignified canvass, let the contrast
between them and us 1)0 increased by
our dignified deportment. Hoping
that you have well considered the
task undertaken, and that you may
never regre.t it, I am yours,

Letter from Wilcox.
Mb, F.iiitor: Lnwyers constitute a broth
erhood, and they ought to bo commended for
It. Preachers, too, uro nssoclaled for their
common Interest. Lawyers preach with
Justinian of old: "Live honestly, hurt no
body, and render lo every one his due." True
preachers with Christ, the greatest Preacher,
prolalm this year Inan'dyear out, Lawyers
seek to earn their dally bread by sustaining
tho above doctrines, uud so do preachers,
Krgu: Lawyers and Preucht-cs ought to be a
fraternity, that Is: lawyers Bhould attend
church to hear the gospel, and preachers
should go to court to hear the law. liut, alaul
tho brotherhood Is wanting, and hence the
study of the gospel with the lawyers, and the
study of the law with the preachers is far bo
low par. The other day I read the following:
'Two lawyers, when a knotty case was o'er.
Shook hands, and were as good friends as
before.
"Zounds," says the losing cllout,
vou
"how came
To be such friends, who were such foes Just
now?"
"Thou fool," says one, "we lawyers, tho' so
Like shears ne'er cut ourselves, but what's
between."
A smart and honest man, and yet a one
sided poet must have written that, or else he
would have applied this truth to all other
classes. There are exceptions, but the rule
is: "The almighty dollar governs the church
and the state. ' Take the preachers. The
Lord rarely, if ever, calls them to a tneogre
field. They change front good to bettor, or If
to worse, It Is by force of circumstances.
Money and pleasant surroundings are not
left out of the question. This universal con
dition Is earthy, to be sure, but us long as wo
live on the earth, wo do, as If by Instinct,
"prsue our own true and substanttal hap
piness." Of course, it must be left to every
individual, what In his opinion constitutes
happiness. Experience or observation proves
that money Is not the smallest Ingredient,
Hut my unspeuknblo lovo for lawyers and
preachers must not induce me to beafleetlon-
ally partial
We have no lawyers in Wilcox.
Hence it seems to follow, that our peo
nle do not require lawyers' aid. This
only seems so, for some persons go to
Ridgway or some other large city for
legal assistance. But it does follow
that lawyers cannot make money
enough in Wilcox, if they could we
should have our beautiful town filled
with them as in Ridgway and Smeth-
nort. where enormous weaitu is ac
quired in pursuit of this delightful
profession. But Wilcox has a 'squire
mid u Constable. Sav what you wnl
Wilcox is a peculiarly attractive place,
"1 bail auream iu uiuer intiiii
When evei-vthtnir was still."
It was not a very substantial dream, I
admit, but in my sublime dreaming, i
compared our legal, social and execu
tive relations in Wilcox to the Eng
lish Parliament composed of the
House of Lords and the House of Com
mons. 'Squire Parsons was the lving
and presiding officer of all legal con
ventions, and Constable Cole his Ex
ecutive. The bosses at the tannery
and stores with Robert Mauott as the
general superintendent, constituted
the House of Lords, and the Swedes
were the House of Commons. In my
dream this seemed to be a most happy
arrangement. For if the 'Squire alone
were to govern, he mijrht be a despot,
and do many an unjust thing, calcu
la ted to interfere with the pursuit of
our happiness; if the bosses should be
permitted to govern without the Presi
dent and his Executive, they might
not always have in view the good of
the people; and if the Swedes, that is
the Commons had it exclusively their
own way, all government in Wilcox,
and the arrangement, which from
time immemorial basso humanely and
advantageusly cemented the three
branches together for the benefit of all,
would soon be an end.
No wonder, that numerous visitors
from distant cities, who spent part of
last summer hero, were so much
pleased with our internal and external
arrangements. They saw legislation
iu its perfection, the law upheld in all

Largest Book Published The
new edition of Webster's Uuibridged
Dictionary, just Issued, is believed to
be, in the quantity of matter it con
tains, by far the largest volume pub
lished. It now contains about 118,000
words defined, and nearly 15,000 words
and meanings not found in any one
other dictionary. The Biographical
Dictionary, just added, supplies a
want long felt by the reader and stu
dent, in giving the desired informa
tion so briefly. Never was any one
volume so complete as an aid in get
ting an education. Vote for Ames.
