Pa., on Monday the 14th" da j' of Feoniury.tfiwl, between the hours of 0 A. M. and 5 P. M. for the purpose of electing a board of Directors and transacting such other business as may come before them. C. R. Earlky. President. P. W. Hayks, Secretary. Pursuant to the above notice the stockholders of the Brandy Camp Railroad Company met at the office of C. R. Eailey in the Borough of Ridgway in the County of Elk on the 14th day February, A. D. 1881, and whereupon P. W. Ilayos was called to the chair and G. R. Woodward was elected secretary and upon motion of Rufus Lucore the meeting was ad journed until Monday, Feb. 2.1st at 11 o'clock A. M , at the office of C. R. Eurley in said Borough of Ridgway. Serious Acuidknt. Thursday afternoon last, Mr. G.W. Chrisman, a cousin of ex-Sheriff Chrisman, met witli a very serious accident. He was in the employ of Mr. Wm. Dickey, of this place hauling boat gunnels from Mr. D's lumber tract, in Millstone township, Elk county, to the Clarion river, and while crossing a bridge, erected for the purpose of affording a passage over a deep ravine and about twenty feet high, the end of thesixty tlve foot gunnel he was hauling struck a sapling with sufficient force to throw it out of its course and over the edge of the bridge, upsetting the sled and throwing Mr. V,., who was riding on the log, over with il ; and while falling his right leg was caught between the guard log of the bridge and the gunnel, and his mangled limb being loosened by the team mov ing on the bridge, he fell from his swinging jKisition to the ground, a distance of about sixteen feet. Mr. Mapes, who was employed " on the same Job, came to his rescue, and he was taken to the residence of ti e Messrs. Moore, and medical aid sum moned. Dr. Baker, of Sigel.and Drs. Balmer and W. F. Matson, of Brook ville, were secured, and upon examin ation it was found that amputation was necessary, and the oseratlon was successfully performed, the limb being taken off just below the knee. Mr. Chrisman is a resident of Armstrong county, bis home being within a few miles of Rural Village, and he is a man of uhout fifty-three years of age. It is regarded as a very narrow escape, it being remarkable that Mr. C. came out of such a serious and perilous situation with his life, and that the team escaped without injury At last accounts the unfortunate man was getting along as well as could be ex pected.

Borough Election. 1 lie nominations of persons to till the numerous oHiees in the bran new Borough of Ridgway were n utile In Magiuuis' Hail on Saturday evening last under a call made for a meeting of citizens for that purpose. The officers were about equally divided be tween Repub.icans and Democrats. The meeting was organized by the election of W. C. Healy, chairman, Geo. R. Dixon, secretary, Eug. J. Miller and Henry A. Parsons, Jr., tellers. To make a long story short the nom inationu were made, between fifty and sixty votes being cast, and the nom inees elected as appears in full else' where. Several parties were dissatis fied, made a ticket of their own and were most iugloriously defeated at the polls. The result only shows that the people wanted a people's ticket, and elected it.
