Company II Klection.
On Thursday evening of last week
pursuant to notice given, the offlcei
and members of Co. II to the number
of '23 met at their armory to elect a
captain to fill the vacancy caused by
the expiration of Capt. SehceningV
commission. Col. Ames, of St. Mary's
of Gov. Hoyt's staff, held the election.
Capt. St'hining being absent a com
mittee of three : Parsons, Cuthbcrt
anil O. G. Kelts, were appointed to
wait on him and ascertain whether he
would accept the captaincy if elected
to it. The committee waited on the
Captain at his residence, and return
ing reported that he could not accept
the position if elected to it, although
he hud no authority to prevent the
members of the company from voting
for him If they wished. Sgts. Parsons
and Wilson were detailed to act as
clerks, whereupon a count of the votes
cast resulted in dipt. Scheming re
ceiving 23 votes i the entire number
cast). Afttr the election Col. Ames
complimented the company, and in
glowing terms set forth the advance
ment the whole nutional guard of the
State was making, saying that it was
the determination of those in author
ity to make the Guard of the Keystone
State what it should be, the finest in

Last week we had the pleasure of
visiting the pleasant Utile town ol
'iidgwny, and to do it justice it is our
duty to speak of its many excellen
cies. The Teachers' Institute was in
session in their school building, of
which Itidgwny might well be proud.
Proud not only of this building hut
"thers, such as the new Court House,
Hyde's Opera House, several churches
and many private dwelling houses.
The two tanneries in the immediate
vicinity make the business relations
much better. People too often get a
wrong Impression of such towns, as
hey lire situated in the mountains.
I'hey think there Is no way that such
i town may make any advancement
in education. But let those persons
visit this town and examine it for self
satisfaction. When a town has such
good teachers as this one has, what re
sult could one look for then that whicli
they have gained in this department?
Good schools also indicate that people
also have good moral and good social
iialities. Persons will find by visit
ing the town, young Indies and young
gentlemen of refined manners nnd
good morals, nnd not habitually ad
dicted to the use of the low ami vulgar
phrases we too often hear in the homes
of many inhabitants of other places.
A stranger is not sneered ut, lint rather
is treated with respect, and all try to
make the town a pleasant place for
him. The young people find some
thing to do besides spending their
time by flirting with every young man
or young lady they meet. Nearly all
the professions ure represented by aide
men who adorn their profession by all
possible skill and scholarship Two
ably edited newspapers are at the head
of the two opposing parties, ready Jh
discuss mutters relative to their respec
tive supporters ; and ulso prepared to
give thecurrent newsof theduy. The
people of Elk county have made a wise
choice when they selected a place
witli so many advantages, to he
their county seat. Well may the peo
ple of Ridgwny be glad of their town
not only leading in their county hut
also in the state of Pennsylvania.

Poor Obi Itob. ,

Robert was the title we gave him,
although for years he was known by
the simple and unassuming name of
Bob
And with a more likely youth have
we never been acquainted.
Although of a slightly quarrelsome
disposition at times.yet on the whole a
more kindly whole-souled chap it
has never been our fortune to meet.
He wns passionately fond of the softer
sex, and of a sunshiny day he may
have been seen with n legion (more or
less) of the gentle dames of his ac
quaintance, taking a stroll or basking
in the sunny sun.
Noted for his correct, habits In the
matter of retiring and rising, it can
be said of him that never in Ills long life
diil he fail of closing his eyes with the
sun's recced! ng shades or opening them
with the dawn.
And at his rising the whole neigh
borhood gave ear to his morning melo
dies. Alwayscheerfully no matter what the
weather and always ready to come nt
the slighest call of distress, his friends
were legions, and on many points his
decision was law.
lie was never yet beaten in combat
although the stories of his battles
would till many volumes.
And his beligerent neighbors stood
in a holy fear of him, ns criminals the
law and constable.
He never fought unless forced to,
while the times lie has acted as peace
maker space forbids us to number.
The close of his career wasin st range
contradiction to the quarrelsome part
of his eventful life.
But a few days of silent illness and
he was gathered to his last long sleep.
Painless was his death and quiet
were his final hours
And now ns we hollow out his nar
row bed and lay him in his last silent
rest
Many reminiscences of his youth
nnd manhood flash through our mem
ory as with sad countenance we pile
the clods of the garden over his silent
breast.
All have their faults and lie was no
exception although many, many times,
outweighed by his nobler qualities, so
much so in fact, that we forget his
evils and only think of Ids good, al
though it is said "The evil men do
livea'ter them, the good is oft interred
with I heir bones."
Not so shall it be with Bob.
With Pobert we bury his few evils.
While his excellent qualities shall
be handed down lo the generations as
household tradition.
Hubert,-Bob. we regret your faking
off and our pen fails to do justice to
your memory.

Relating to the mutual rights of
directors and teachers, we present the
following decision thereon from State
Superintendent Wickersham, than
whom no one I better fitted to elabor
ate the school laws: "There is but one
lime in the year when directors can
adopt a now series of text books for
the schools under their charge, or
change-old ones, and that is between
the timeof electing teacher nnd the
opening of the schools. Section
net of May S, 18.VI, says: That im
mediately after the annual election of
teachers in each school district of the
-itate. and before the opening of the
schools for the ensuing terms, there
shall be a meeting of the director or
controllers ami teachers of each dis
trict; at which meeting the directors
or controllers shall decide upon a
series of school books, in the difl'ereiit
branches to he taught during the en
suing school year; whicli books, and
no other, shall be used in the schools
of the distrct during said period.
Such i the law, with this exception,
that hooks cannot now he changed in
a school distrct more frequently than
once in three years. In order to de
teriuiuc legally a question concerning
text rooks therefore, there must lie a
meeting of teachers and directors held
at the time named in the law. Chan
ges of text books made at any time n;e
wholly without legal sanction, and i:
made known would subject a district
to the loss of the State appropriation,
if not the infliction of greater penal
ties. The fact that seventy-one members
of the Republican state committee,
out of a full membership of ninety
nine, attended the meeting at Phila
delphia on Tuesday, is an indication
of the importance with which the ap
proaching campaign is viewed.
Never before in the history of the
party was there such a large attend
ance, nhd every one present was
decidedly in favor of a hold, vigorous,
aggressive campaign. And the fact
that such an early date for the state
convention was fixed, shows that the
members fully appreciate the impor
tance of decisive work. The Rcpuhli
ciins of Pennsylvania intend that
their state shaP not lag behind, nor
give fortli any uncertain sound in the
great work now before the party, hut
shall step boldly to the front nnd as
sume a leadership that will be felt
throughout the union. Williumspnrt

It was reported on the streets, a
few days ago, that the coal underlying
the land to the south and east of this
village, had been sold. Although Un
report proved to he false, yet it was
the cause of considerable excitement,
as the people thought it to he the best
indication for a railroad yet received.
At u meeting of the coal owners, it
was decided to give the agent six
months more time in order to com
plete the sales.
Owing to the bad roads of late, we
have not seen the usual number of
people in town. But on Saturday
last the beautiful weather induces
many to disregard the mud. Having
occasion to enter the store of B. T.

and were obliged to sit down and
wait our turn with all the patience
that, characterizes a mini when he

often praised "Peterson," that it is
nothing better in the way of a lady's

it contains, every year, about hum
pages; M superb steel engnvings; 12

12 Berlin, or other colored patterns;
and some OllO wood engravings, the
wonder is how so much, and of such

are even lower. Premiums, too are
given to persons for getting up

There was cotisiderable.of a breeze

Monday evening between eight nnd

Watt and Beach met Gideon and Geo.
