-'-Mr. Vacant has taken quite a num
ber of boxes In the new post-office.
Apples are exceedingly plenty this
fall and sell at from 25 cents to 50 cents
a bushel.
The latest thing out is that Mc
Afee seels the cheapest and best suits
in the country.
The original New Orleans Min
strels will give an entertainment at
the Opera House this evening.
Marriage notices will not Ise pub
lished in these columns unless accom

During the first seven days in
Nov. upwards of 8,500 packages were
forwarded from the Ridgway post
office. To-morrow evening at the Hyde
House a sociable will be held for the
benefit of Grace Church. Refresh
ments free of charge. All are invited.
No matter whether you receive
few letters or many you should secure
a box In the new office. It will save
you time and trouble.
Our correspondents nre requested
to dispense with poetry as much as
possible. This week our worthy Dent's
Run correspondent indulges rather
largely in the aforesaid poetic strain.
The glorious rain of the past few
days will be gladly received on all
hands our lumbermen have had a ter

We this week publish the official
vote given at the Republican election,
which came off last week. It has not
yet been offlclallyannounced when the
Democrats will hold their election, but
when they do, we will publish the re
sult. It is hardly necessary to remark
that when we do have our election, we
will whip the Republicans out of their
'boots," so we will. Emporium In
dependent. Yes, you will.
The new cose which Postmaster
Hagerty has just put in position at
the post-office is very ornamental and
convenient. The numbers on the call
boxes run as high as 820 although
there are actually but 316 the place of
four boxes being occupied by the de
livery. The case also has 32 lock boxes
Judge Edward Derby made the case
and every joint, and part attest to his
skill as a mechanic. The woodwork of
the case will be grained and varnished
The lock boxes are provided with the
Yale patent lock, the keys for each
lock being of a different pattern. The
price of the call boxes is 60 cents a
year, of the lock boxes $2,00 and 25
cents for each key two keys going
with each lock. The amouniof mall
matter received and forwarded at this
office is Increasing rapidly, and Post
master Hagerty is deserving of a great
deal of credit for providing our people
with such a convenient and handsome
case. In the time of Postmasters
Luther and Ross a few boxes (about
40) were all that was needed to supply
our citizens with mail matter. It is
well known fact that the increase of
mail at a olace denotes an increase in
population and business. Then com'
paring the old post-office with the
new we see a substantial prosperity
that is steadily Increasing.

-On Tuesday, Dell Avery, at Laurel
Mill, just escaped meeting with a seri
ous acciden. A dam a few rods be
low the mill for the purpose of raising
water high enough to raft in lmmber
gave way as he was standing on it,
throwing him head first Into the water
among slabs, logs, and driftwood. Af
ter being under water several seconds
his leg was caught by a heavy piece of
timber on a rock which fortunately
the water released In time for him to
make a catch at the bushes on the
bank by which he drew himself out
of the flood. His leg was severely
bruised, although we believe no
bones were broken. It was indeed a
narow escape from death. Dr. Bord-
well dressed his wounds.
Worthy of Attenion.
We advise all our readers, whether
they own a foot of land or not, to sup.
ply themselves with that treasure of
useful, practical reliable information,
the Amcrcan Agriculturist, so named
because started 88 years ago as a journ
al, but now enlarged to embrace a
great variety of most usful reading for
the Household, Children included, for
the Garden, as well as the Farm for
all classes. Each volume gives some
800 original Engravings, with descrip
tions of labor-saving and labor-helping
contrivances, of plants, fruits, flowers,
animals, etc., including many large
and pleasing, as well as instructive,
pictures for young and old. The con
stant, systematic exposures of Hum
bugs and Swindling Schemes by the
Agriculturist are of great value to every
one, ana wen save to most persons
many times its cost. Altogether, it is
one of the most valuable, as will as
cheapest. Journals any where to be
found. The cost is only $1.50 ayear.or
4 copies for$5. Single numbers 15 cents.

-We think that "Vale" must have
had occasion to call on Dr. Nulf for
he knows of his whereabouts so well
still we hope such is not the case.
Week before last while Geo. Sex

"Vale" the other day In going to
work came across a bear track which
he followed up the side hill to where
it went up a tree he got around where
he could see up the tree and saw it
laying on a limb, now that he had the
game treed his nerves got unstrung
and you would have thought the poor

We will now try again to answer
the attacks made upon us by "U. R-
Wright" of the Sterling Gazette, by
stating that we are well aware that he
does not possess Elk county and is not
likely to possess any other. We are
not displeased because he sends his
locals to other countjpapers, as they
would not elevate our papers in the
least as two-thirds of your locals are
printed in an unknown tongue. We
would judge, from your own words,
that you have your little dish-cloth
(The Sterling Gazette) worn thread
bare and are now trying to get the
Advocate in the same pan. Hold on
Mr. "U. R. Wright" before you at
tempt to pass judgment; do you read
the Advocatk; Do you subscribe for
it? if not you are as bad as the fox that
said the grapes were sour, before he
had tasted them. You condemn the
Advocate before you know any
thing about It. We will guarantee the
editor will not make such vulgar ex
pressions, that seem to please you,
such as "We wm run the paper or
bust." You will find such in your
doted paper.
We are very sorry Unit preaching
was postponed on the day mentioned
by "U. R. Wright" but must say that
those who were disappointed in
hearing the word preached that
day huve a better assurance of a
Savior's welcome, than those like Mr.
U. R. Wright" who reverenced the
Sabbath by attending a rooster fight.
We will also In form our learned friend
Mr. "U. R. Wright" that the key
holder of the day mentioned was a
shingle and we are well aware that
as he was chief engineer in laying out
the boundaries of the hornet's nest,
he wanted it for the centre post con
sequently it could not be on hand.
We must say Mr. "U. R. Wright"
that yon had the boundaries nicely
laid out, as well as yourseir when you
hud a hard scrabble to scratch the
gravel with both your hands and feet,
when every 'way. you turned your
head the hornets you would meet.
-We take the following from "U.
R. Wright's" writings: "Experi
ence keeps a deer school but fools will
learn in no other." Very good Mr
U. K. Wright ' is there where you
gained j'onr knowledge? D. C. I.
Weather Is pleasant.

From Wilcox.
Nov. 11th, 1879.
We noticed in the last Issue of the
Gazette that a person calling himself
'Bigulow" undertook to assail the
character of several of our townsmen
We judge from the spirit of his letter
that things did not go as lie wished on
election day. A majority of 75 for
Ames was not calculated to "set well
on his stomach" as the boys suy.
After distributing tickets among the
Swedes; after laboring with Mr. Hor
ner and using the party club all day to
no effect further than making votes for
Colonel Ames, we do not wonder he
gave vent to his teeiings in the afore
said article, we suppose be had just so
much to unload, and as he does not
dare to attempt doing it here, seeks
the columns of a paper that is scarcely
know in Jones township to relieve
himself of a great load of smart and
cunning sayings which ho has been
been gathering in his powerful
brain for months. Suffice to say
that the charges are false from begin
ning to end. The article alluded to
has had thegratifying effect of adding
several Democratic votes to the Re
publican list and making the Repub
licans more solid than ever.

abreast of the age with the least un
productive expenditure of time the
greatest irterest to the greatest num

For this reason it is, and Will continue

class, elhjue, organization, or interest.
It is for all, but of none. It will con
tinue to praise what Is good und re

its language is to the point und plain,
beyond the possibility of beiii! mis'
understood. It is uninfluenced by
motives that do not appear on the nui'
face; it lias no opinions to sell, save
those which may bo had by any purch
aser with two cents. It hates injustice
and rascality even more than it hates
unnecessary words. It abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplores nincompoops
of every species. It will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise
the first class, instruct the second and
discountenance the third. All honest
men with honest convictions, whether
sound or mistaken, are its friends.
And The Sun makes no bones of tel
ling the trnth to its friends and about
its friends whenever occasion arises
for plain speaking.
liiese are the prlncples upon which
The Sun will be conducted during
the year to conic.
The year 18M) will be one in which
no patriotic American can aflord to
close his eyes to public affairs. It is im
possible to exaggerate the importance
of the political events which it bus in
Ktore, or the necessity of resolute vig
ilance on the part of .every citizen who
desires to preserve the Government
that the founders gave us. The le-
U-.-. .1 , 4,-. . ,1
ances of the press, the exciting contest
ot the Kepuuiieun ana jjemocrutic
parties, now nearly equal in strength
throut'iiout the country, the varying
drifts of public sentiment, will all bear
directly effectively upon the twenty-
lourth Presidential election, to be held
n Isovemlier. 1" our years aio next
November the will of the nation, us
expressed at the polls, was thwarted
by an abouiinable conspiracy, the pro
moters and beneficiaries ot which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the
crime ofl87o be repeated in 1S8U? The
past decade ot years opened with a cor
rupt, extravagant und insolent Ad
ministration intrenched nt Washing
ton. The Sun did som- tiling toward
dislodging the gang, and breaking its
power. The same men nre now intri
guing to restore their leader and them
selves to place from which they were
driven by the indignation of the peo
ple. Will they succeed? The coining
year will bring the answer to these
momentous questions. The Sun will
be on baud to chronicle the facts as
they are developed, and to exhibit
them clearly und fearlessly in their
relations to expediency and right.
Thus with a habit of philosophic!
good humor in looking at the minor
affairs of life, and in grate tilings a
steadfast purpose to maintain the
rights of the people and the principles
of the Constitution against all aggres
sors, The Sun is prepared to write a
truthful, instructive, and at the same
time entertaining history of 1880.
