his departure to new fields of labor he
has their heartfelt wishes for his future
success and happiness. Mr. Miller

commencing promptly at 9, A. M.
Theory of teaching will be the first
branch In which applicants i'or certifi
cates will bo examined. Tins time has
come when a thorough professional
training is deemed necessary a mere
knowledge of tho branches to be taught
will not suffice.
I will soon Issue educational tract
No. 8, which will contain practical
suggestions for all who are In any
way related to our common schools.
About two thousand copies of this
tract will be printed and they will be
distributed at the schools, educational
gatherings, and by other methods.
Read them.
Benezette school district is deter
mined to stand at the front In school
enterprise. . Three cheers for their last
effort! I can hardly believe tho re
port of the Secretary, but it is just
like Benezette to plan and accomplish
good for the schools. Hero it is.
There are six school-rooms In the dis
trict and only one of tbeni furnished
with patent funituro. The directors
have just decided to furnish the re
maining five school rooms with the
latest and most approved desks and
seats. This is not all, they also de
cided to furnish all the schools with
first-class teachers' desks recitation
benches and call-belis and as a crown
ing act to it all they bought a copy of
the latest edition of Webster's Un
abridged Dictionary for each school.
Good. What other school board will
do likewise?
Seventeen pupils have recently
graduated from the course of study
we use in our schools many of the pu
pils ulso passed examination in the
higher branches. The last class has
graduated at Wilcox and the'coin
mencement exercises were held in the
Presbyterian Chapel at that place on
Saturday evening last. The class was
composed of five young ladies and one
young gentleman ail of whom acquit
ted themselves with great credit. The
young ladies read essays and Mr. Fred
Aldrich the male member of the class
delivered au oration. Iamsure their
efforts would have been loudly ap
plauded on any commencement stage
In the laud. They were very fine.
The people of Jones feel very proud
of their schools. Both teacher and
pupil have worked hard and richly
deserve congratulation. Now let every
pupil in the county in the classes of
1882 labor faithfully, attend regularly ,
and look forward to a successful grad
uation from the course of study. More

One day'last week a man from the
upper edge of Clarion county brought
to town a load of hay, and after some
difficulty succeeded in disposing of
it to John J. Patterson who was busy
at the time and did not examine it,but
came around before the hay was all
unloaded. He found the load to con
sist of thistles, briers and rotten hay,
aud ordered the same reloaded. After
some difficulty the hay was once
more on the wagon, when the owner
started oil to find another purchaser.
He fulled in this, us he also failed in
finding any one who would take the
load off his hands at any price, and he
hud the satisfaction of hauling his hay
home again. Brookvllle Jcjfferaonian.

Sad Fatal Accident.
DEATH OF CHARLES FlSnF.R.
Friday afternoon, June 10, 1881,
Charles Fisher, a youhg man 27 years
of ftge, ft resident of St. Marys, and
well known to many people in this
vicinity met with au accident which
resulted iu his death a few minutes
thereafter. Tho facta In the case are
detailed to us by M. E. Lesser, of this
place, for whom the young man had
worked in the blacksmith shop for
four years, off and -on, ' add who was
an eye witness to the occurrence. Mr.
Lesser and Joe Moore went to St.
Marys on mail Thursday night. They
were with Charles that evening and
all day Friday. Mail west was about
five hours late. Mr. Lesser and Moore
got on the train, and Mr, Fisher ac
companied them for the purpose of
saying good-bye as was his custom
when visitors were leaving St. Marys.
On this occasion the train being lute
made by a short stop, and was under
strong headway before the young man
had time to get off. He shook hands
hurriedly with the gentlemen
named, who urged him not to attempt
to get off as it would be unsafe the
way the train was running. Not
withstanding their entreaty he at
tempted to reach the ground from the
train. As he landed he fell to the
ground close beside the track and had
he had presence of mirtd to lie still the
terrible accident which immediately
followed would have been averted.
Endeavoring to get np his leg was
thrown on the rail the wheels passing
along the entire leg from thigh to foot
taking off both shoes. Raising up the
steps of one car struck him, when
he again sat up to be struck by the
steps of the uext car.and still another.
After this fearful ordeal the young
man rose to a sitting posture reached
his hat placed it on his head and sank
to the earth to rise no more as death
ensued iu a few minutes. As he
placed his hat on his head a chum of
the dying man, Fred Lceller, chanced
to pass; recognizing him Charley
said, "Fred, help me, ' -which were the
last words he uttered ere he surren
dered his spirit back to the God who
gave it. Miss Lizzie Fisher, a sister
of deceased hearing of the accident
rushed to tho scene just in time to see
her brother breathe his last, and was
almost broken hearted at the sudden
and terrible sight.
Mr. Lesser wishes us to state that
the young man was not under the in
fluence of liquor in the least. This
statement being deemed necessary as
the report had gone forth that he was
in liquor at the lime of the accident.
The place where the accident oc
curred is about opposite Wilhclm's
store. The face was bruised but little,
while the shoulders were considerably
bruised from the steps striking him.
On learning of the facts Conductor
Metzger stopped the train to ascertain
if it was a passenger that was injured,
but us no assistance could be rendered
the train sped on its way. Jas. II
Ross and wife of Ridgway, were pass
ing at the time and saw the young
man full. Mrs. Ross threw up her
hands in horror and by her screams
attracted the attention of passengers
on the train. Mr. Lesser looked out of
the window and saw Charles rise and
fall three times as he came in contact
with the steps.
On Sunday the funeral was held
and was one of the largest funeral
processions ever seen in St. Marys, up
wards of 1000 peoplo taking part.
Quite a number of young men at
tending from Ridgway and were
given place in the line next the niour
ers. The St. Marys brass band headed
the procession playing funeral dirges
on the way to the church and played
one dirge at the grave.

Coiidersnort Rescued. I
At last Potter county has been ad-1
mi tied into olvllzation, a charter for a
railroad haviug been granted to the
Olean aud Coudersport railroad com
pany, on Wednesday last, to build a
railroad from Coudersport to Ceres in
McKean county, with a capital stock
of $160,000, divided Into shares of $100
each. The Journal says: Olean par
ties have already taken out a charter
for the Olean and Bolivar railroad,
have surveyors at work, 250 laborers
on the grade.and half the iron bought.
By agreement the Olean and dBolivar
road Is to be consolidated with the
Olean and Coudersport; the two lines
meet at or near Ceres.
Quick work was made in getting the
charter for the Olean and Coudersport
railroad. Tuesday morning the ap
plication left Coudersport, reaching
Harrisburg the next morning about
four o'clock where it was taken charge
by M. E. Omsted, and the same day
Olmsted mailed the charter for Coud
ersport. The w hole road from Couder
sport to Olean will be put under one
management as soon as con
venient, ond it is believed the entire
road will be completed in ono hundred
days, if they have no trouble In get
ting right of way, etc. The road will
be a three foot gauge, costing
from three thousand to five thousand
dollars per mile.- It can be built very
cheaply, as the route is very direct and
the grade easy. From Ceres it will go
up the Oswayo Creek, through the
heart of Sharon township to the mouth
of Whitney creek; up Whitney creek
to the top of the ridge, and either
down the hollow by Sandberg's and
Steer brook, to the Allegheny river,
and thence down the river, two and a
miles to Coudersport, or from the
ridge down Dingmaus run, striking
the Allegheny river one mile below
Coudersport. Which route will be
taken can only be decided by the sur
veyors. Either will give a good grade
and there can be but little difference
in the distance. A portion of the dis
tance the right of way has already
been obtained.and we believe the land
owners will appreciate the advantages
to be gained sufficiently to aid this
project in every way possible.
The Cyclopedia War.
The Cycloponia War and the Lit
erary Revolution are working wonder
ful and happy results for the readers
of books, and searcher.! after know!
edge. The great "Library of Univer
sal knowledge," is announced to be
completed, ready for delivery to pur
chasers, the early part of July. It Is
probably the largest and most impor
tant literary work this country nnd
the century have seen. It is based
upon Chambers' Encyclopedia, the
last London edition of which is re
printed entire as a portion of its con
tents, a large corps of American edi
tors and writers adding thereto a vast
amount of information upon about
10,000 subjects in every department of
human knowledge. Chambers' En
cyclopedia, whose distinguished merit
is universally known, is the labor!
ous product of the ripest British and
Juropean sciioiursinps, but being a
work of foreign production it lias been
naturally deficient in its adaptation to
the wants of American readers. In
this new form it is most thoroughly
Americanized, and becomes at once
the largest and most complete encyclo
pedia in the field, at a mere fraction
of the cost of any similar works which
have preceded it, containing about 10
per cent more matter than Appleton's
Encyclopeeia, at less than one-fifth
its cost, aud 20 per cent, more than
Johnson's Cpclopedia at a little more
than one-fourth its cost.
The superlative value and impor
tance of this great Encyelopedia.how
ever, lies specially in the fact that it is
brought within the reach of every one
who aspires after knowledge and eul-
ture. It is really a library of univer
sal knowledge. It brings a liberal edu
cation easily within the reach of every
plow-boy. Eveay farmer and every
mechanic owes it to himself and to
his childreu that such a cyclopedia
shall henceforward form a part of the
outfit of his home. To the intelligent
man in every walk of life a Cyclopedia
is indispensable. It is issued in vari
ous styles, in 15 large beautiful octavo
volumes, varying in price from $15 for
the edition in cloth, to $25 for the edi
tion in full library sheep binding.
Libcrary discounts even from these ex
traordinary prices are allowed to clubs
and the publishers, besides propose
during the next two mounths to dis
tribute $10,000 cash in special rewards
to persons who forward clubs of five,
ten or more subscribers. The Ameri
can Book Exchange, 764 Broadway,
New York are the publishers, who
will send sample puges and full par
ticulars tree on request.
