Rldgway Borough.
At the recent term of court, Judge
Wetmore confirmed the action of the
Grand Jury at the September term in
granting the petition of citizens of
Ridgway for a Borough corporation
The place for holding the first Borough
election is fixed at the old Prothono
tary's office. H. II. Wen-el was ap
pointed by the Court to give the
necessary uotiee of such election.
The following election board to hold
audi election was appointed by the
Court:
Judge of Election Henry A. Par
sons, Jr.
Inspector of Election Hugh Me
Geehin, and Allen W. Jones.
There will be a long list of officers
to cleat as will be seen by the follow
ing list, twenty-nine in number,
which we believe is necessary to in
augurate our little municipality. The
election will be held at the regular
tlmo for holding spring elections,
viz: the third Tuesday of February,
being the 15th day of the month :
Chief Burgess.
Six Councilmen.
Six School Directors: two for one
year; two for two years; two for three
years.
Two Justices of the Peace.
One Road Commissioner.
Two Overseers of the poor.
Borough Treasurer.
Borough Clerk.
High Constable.
Borough Constable.
Judge of Election.
Two Inspectors cf Election.
Three Borough Auditors.
Assessor.
This makes a long string of officers
to be voted for and gives our citizens a
fair chance to attain honor. Any of
us are liable to wake up some fine
morning to find ourselves elected to
one of the many places to be filled.
Alas, there Is a sad side to the story for
as many will wake up to find them
defeated as will awake to find them
selves famous and elected. A residence
of two months in the Borough, auoi a
payment of tax within two years is
necessary for those who expect to vote
at f to ennolnf election.

Thieves Break In ami Steal.
Last Saturday night sneak thieves
broke into the residence of G. W.
Nichols on Zion's Hill, and took three
overcoats, a black dress coat and vest,
also a silver watch, chain, and locket
containing picture, together with a
low crown felt hat, and a lot of mis
cellaneous articles including money,
handkerchiefs, &c. Several suspicion
characters were prowling around oi r
streets on Saturday, begging from
door to door. It Is quite likely that
they were the parties who did the
sneaking work. Mr. Nichols' family
slept up stairs while the articles taken
were down stairs. The thieves were
in their stocking feet ami entered at a
back window Charlie Nichols, who
is "devil" in The Advocate office
owned one of the overcoats stolen.
And it is a mighty low thief that will
steal from a printer's devil, the curse
of all printers and all devils follow
the dastardly smak-thicf.
The passenger depot was entered the
same night. An attempt was made
to enter the residence of C. H. Mc
Cauley, but was frustrated by reason
of Mr. McCauley being up with a sick
child. An attempt was also made to
enter the residence of Mr. A. H. Head,
and Rev.S.M.CIark. We are Informed
that several houses in Wilcox have
also lately been visited by sneak
thieves. Our citizens should be on the alert
and meet all attempts to enter their
houses by these sneaks with a double
charge of buckshot, or the equally
satisfactory welcome of a rifle ball. A
few thieves, killed in the act would
help materially to lesson this species
of dirty meanness. Another thing,
any tramp, or other suspicious charao
ter, coming to our doors, hhould
promptly receive the benefit of the
Pennsylvania tramp law. It is a hard
matter to refuse a fellow mortal a
morsel as he begs at our door, but
when the canting hypocrite who begs
a crust is likely to be a thief who will
repay our kindness by breaking into
our houses after night, and only bog
food as a means of canvassing the
situation in order to steal, the milk of
human kindness turns to gall, and
maybe many a worthy person turned
away whom we might assist.

For many years past a brother of
mine in Corry, E. liordwell, has been
using a compound which lias save)
nearly every case that he has treated,
especially if taken in the first at ages
of the disease, and he has treated
thousands of eases.
ITS ACTION.
In the first place it cuts the mem
brane in the air passages.
Secondly it is loosening.
Thirdly it acts as an absorbent.
Fourthly it gives an Immediate ap
petite. In looking up the properties of this
compound I find it is good.
I have tried it. Others have tried
it in this place and have not lost any
cases.
I am the sole manufacturer and

Those in my acquaintance living
