In the case of the Commonwealth
vs. Harry English, on a Charge of kill
ing Constable Vollmer in April last,
nothing has as yet bceJn done although
it was expected that'the case would be
among the first Reached. ' .Therefore
we are unable tbgiveany report in tills
issue of the Advocate.
In our last issue we stated that a
new post-ollice had been established
in Elk county called Raught's Mills,
in this we were slightly mistaken.
The name of the new nlUcc is Raughts
aud it is located in Millstone township
at Raught's Mills. Persons directing
letters should be careful to address
Raughts, as that is the name of the
office.
The Democrat man, in his last is
sue, with his usual lightning quick
ness, makes an unauthorized lling at
" party of sleigh riders and dancers
from St. Marys," who visited the Ridg
way House oil Tuesday, the lHh inst.
The party paid their bills like men,
and it would be well for "Skip" to gel
at the rock bottom before staiting his
flimsy erections.
The liceuses brought before the
court for January term were ail
granted with the exception of that ol
Adam Fochtman of St. Mary's which
was refused by the court on account
of a remonstrance, and that of Win.
Zelt, of St. Marys, which was refused
on the ground that the bail was in
sufficient. The licenses of Patrick
Fahey, J as. B. McQuone, aud Geo. F.
Spooler were continued until to-day
but will no doubt be granted.
The senatorial contest at Harris
burg has become a "dead lock" which
is not likely to be broken in n hurry.
Wallace on the Democratic side holds
his number of votes with an occasional
scattering vote to A.G.Curtin or other
Democrats. The lines of the Oliver
forces tire equally as, firm, .while the
forces of Grow seem--determined to
fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer. So that as above intimated,
there is no danger of a break-up at
least not beforethe break-up of winter
next sprlug
In the case of the Commonwealth

Narrow E-capo or Ten Jim.
Saturday, Nov. lo, 1S31, at Laurel
Mill .-aw mill Isiitie Avery had a team
of horses killed under peculiar cir
cumstances. Near the mill is a steep
side hill on the b.mk of the river,
along this is a narrow rou I along
which the loads of logs are hauled for
stocking the saw mill. The teams are
driven close to the side of this steep
decent, when the chains holding the
logs are loosened and they roll with
great force and rapidity into the
stream below. On the day of the ac
cident a young man named Frank
Price, a careful and trusted driver,
drove Ids team will) a load of logs to
the place of unloading. The ice cov
ering the road made it quite difficult
for the horses to stand, and on this
occasion one of the horses slipped, be
fore the logs were unloaded, when the
driver attempted to hold him up with
the rains, which lie failed in ' doing,
the horses, load and all, driver ex
cepted. wore violently preciputcd down
the abrupt declevity,' landing with
fatal effect on the ic'3 of the frozen
river below. One of the horses was
instantly killed the other one sustain
ing injuries from which he died in a
short time. The mill iii'nds witnessed
the accident and. al once rushed to the
icscue of tlie team u nil 'for might they
knew disabled driver. While these
men, ten in number.' vere extracting
the horses and hobs from the logs, an
other team, following (he one which
met the accident, drove along the road
above, and the driver all unconscious
of the men below, was unloosening
the chains, as usual, to allnv the logs
to rush in rapid succession to t lie ice
beneath. Arrested in the act of loos
ening the chain by the screams of a
woman, Mrs. Geo. Stic'tles, who lived
near, and whose husband was among
tlie men at the foot of the hill, the
driver paused, and when he ascer
tained the cause of the woman's
screams, was almost stupefied" with
horror on glancing down the hill to
discover tlie men there, which by his
hand in another instant would have
been dashed to pieces by the great logs
rolling with the force of a sledge-hammer
on their unguarded heads. The
driver of the second team supposed
that the team ahead had unloaded in
tlie usual manner and hud proceeded
along the hill, and down the opposite
side after another load. We are very
glad, indeed to write this Item as a
what-might-have-heen, Instead of
writ lint that ten men in the vigor of
manhood had been hurled from the
light of day to the darkness of
eternity.

According to the timely notice
given, It Is my Intention to now write
reports of schools for publication in
tlie various newspapers of tlie county.
I shall not present the nbsevatinus
made during the late fall and early
winter visits, but confine myself to the
notes taken during the more recent In
spections. Benezette, heads the alpha
betical list of Districts, and with its
schools having just examined them, I
will bc(iin these reports.
The school held at Dents Run Is the
first to be noticed. Lawrence Fee, a
Veteran teacher, Is tlie instructor in
charge ot It The school is small, as
there are only fourteen names on the
roll, but the pupils attend very re
gularly. Tlie apparatus is eomnienda
bleconsistingof Guyot's outline maps,
a map of Pennsylvania, a large black
hoard and other things necessary. Tlie
school house Is handsomely decorated
with pictures and mottoes and is evi
dently kept clean. Books are uniform
and things in general show educa
tional thrift
Johnson's school, Is next in order
and Miss Mary Reeeq is the teaclier.
The names of twenty-live pupils ore
enrolled mid the average daily attend
ance is about twenty-oi'ie'in number.
Some of the higher branches are
taught and by way of general les-wnns
many matters of vital importance,
which are not found in the text books,
are brought before the pupils. The
school room Is attractive and every
thing is well cared for. The apparatus
is like that of the Dents Run s'-hool.
It will pay any teaclier well, who lives
within a reasonable distance, to visit
the Jnh.isoii school under the present
main g 'incut.
The Mount Pleasant school is under
the guidance of Miss Jennie H.vnian
and is attended by about twenty-five
pupils. Some of the pupils by sick
ness anil other causes have been kept
absent for awhile, but the attendance
now is good. The apparatus is ample
and the school house is in excellent
condition.
The Benezette graded school Is
taught by Mrs. and Mr. Frank Lenig,
the former having charge of the pri
mary grades and the latter tlie hi,irh
school grades. Thirty-nine names
are enrolled in the primary depart
ment and forty-five in the other.niak
ing in tilt an enrollment of eighty
four. These sch'iols are under good
conirol and deserve a more regular at
tendance than they have at present
There is an organ in use in tlie princi
pal's room and both departments are
quite well supplied with maps, charts
ami black hoards. The rooms are dec
orated, and the spirit of neatness per
vades the whole school house.
The Medix Run school is taught by
Miss Leuora Whiting, Twenty-one
names are enrolled. The school house
is a model one and its furniture ami
apparatus uru good. Miss Whiting is
the "right person In the right place :
Bi;aoK8rio:M.
To Teachers: Te.icli more by way of
general lesson.
Secure if possible a better attend
ance.
Give more thorough attention to
writing.
Preserve the manuscript work of the
pupils and exhibit it to visitors.
To Directors: Keep the text books
uniform.
Put patent furniture into tlie school
houses us fast as the old desks wear
out.
To Parents: Send the children
to school more regularly.
Respectfully,
Geo. R. Dixon, Co.. Supt.
A Good Okdkk. An exchange says
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has issued an order to passenger con
ductors, bi'akcmen and baggage-masters,
prohibiting them, under penalty
of suspension, IW allowing passengers
to l"ide on the platform of passenger
curs. The company is determined to
break up this dangerous practice, mid
it is hoped passenger will cheerfully
comply, as it will be seen the train
men have now no discretionary power
in the mutter.
A Goon Thino. An exchange says
that the Mayor of Wilkes-Darre called
thirty citizens before him on Tuesday
of lust week, uud fined them each
for ullowmg the snow to remain on
the sidewalks. That's a good job, and
we have no doubt but what there are
openings in every borough to bring
about tlie same result. Some citizens
in our Borough generally keep the
snow and ice nir their pavement,
while others seblom give tlie subject
any attention. A similar line would
perhaps compel them to do their duty
in this mutter.

Lotely we have seen In several of

In regard to the same. In 1873 while
Doctor Euelcy was In the Legislature
he procured the passage of an act In
corporating the Oil Creek and Ridg
way Railroad which act we give In
full below together with a 'further
supplement to the said act.
From the annual report of the
Secretary of Internal Affairs for 187
we find the road is six miles in length,
from Oil City to Cranberry mines ;
equipped with one locomotive, thirty
coal cars, and one caboose, thut live
persons, including officers, are em
ployed by the company. Also we
find the number of miles run by the
locomotive to have been 0,001) miles,
und that the amount nf-'frcight carried
wuh5,4'.)0 tons of 2,000 pounds. The
time table of tlie road Is given i ft tlie
Official 11. R. Guide for 1877.
Lately we have noticed that there
Is talk of extending this road to the
Jell'erson coal fields. Of course under

A Kew York letter contains some
fiesh gossip concerning curious busi
tless uncarlocd hy the census depu
ties. The superintend! ut of tlie Urook
I.mi census was much nuzzled some
weeks un upon discovering that there
was some u.-e mailcof old shoes, which
Was not known to tiny of tlie deputies
in his employ, ami -could not lie dis
covered. J t Wiis found that old bhoi'S
were collected in large qiianliticB hy
ragpickers and junkmen, und sold fn
certain mysterious person, for what
purpose no one could ili vine It was
well known that Prussian blue Is made
of old leal her, hut the persons ctigujrcil
in thut business were per. ectly willing
to have their works inspected. Alter
much iiiipiiry ami investigation, it
wus found tout the old shoes were
made into Jamaica rum. When 1 1 icy
cume from the ragpickers, the good
pieces were cutout anil sold to small
cobblers lor patching purposes. Tin
rest was distilled willi spirits, colored
with liurneil siiuar, and sold as Jamai
ca rum, and tiie most singular fact
about the business is that it is bought,
not by saloon ketpcrs, but by drug
gists, who pride themselves on the pu
rity of llieirarlicles. - Many industries
were lound in wbich. though ibe value
of the pro I net was .-ousiihrahle, no
