The owners of property on South street, north side, between Mill and Elk streets have been nolilied by Chief Rurgess Powell to build new walks within ten pays from the 8th day of August. The notice also calls for a new walk over the ravine near Irish town. The people of the West owe a debt of gratitude to Dr Ayer for the production of Ayer's Ague Cure. Its timely use will save much suffering (Hid much discouragement, and we recommend it with tlie greutest couli tlence in its ability to do all that is promised for it.

Protbonotary Schosuing has at his office a book properly prepared for the registration of physicians under tho late act of Assembly, and lie Is now ready to receive and register tlie names of all physicians practicing in the County. A refusal or neglect to comply with the law subjects the physician to a flue of one hundred dollars, one half of which goes to the informant. The law is now in force, and any physician in Elk county not registered should lose no time in doiug so.

A correspondent of the National writes: "The term 'Stalwart' has been figuring largely in tlie telegraphic despatches sent to German journals by their American correspondents. Much to the bewilderment of the home editors no explanation of the word lias been furnished them; they have, therefore been compelled to in vent, an etymology of their own.

The forward part slackened up when the pusher with the rear part ran into it throwing seven ears from tlie track, which were loaded, one with flour in barrels, and the remaining six with wheat and corn. Tlie ear containing (lour tipped ovei on side next the Ridgway House very little flour being wasted. The other cars plunged down the steep em bankment on the El1 Creek side, and were either mudo into kindling wood or badly racked, tho wheat and corn being scattered on the ground ut the side of the track. Workmen were busy all day Sunday and Monday shoveling the grain into cars, and cleaning up the debris. The loss will reach about 5,000. The down town merchants are willing to admit that they are not able to compete with the up town proprie tors in oie line of business, viz.: the consuming of fifteen kegs of beer, during a four or five day's fishing trip. Who saw the Jiish. Ha! Ha!! Ha ! ! ! Acoident to Joe Moore. Thursday last Joe Moore received severe injuries while engaged as axe man on the Pittsburg and New York ruilroad. He was standing on a fallen tree chopping off the upper part of it. As he finished the chopping the piece lie was standing on flew up, when re lieved of the weight of the piece cut off throwing Mr. Moore down about four feet. He landed on his axe handle which struck him in the pit of the stomach breaking two or three ribs. He then rolled over striking a stub on a log which broke another rib loose from the back bone. With all these injuries he walked several feet before he fell. To make the matter worse it was necessary to carry bim through burning timber a distance of several rods, the smoke and heat being almost suffocating. Dr. Hord well was called and did all in bis power for the injured man. Mr. Moore is now able to be about although he, walks with great diffi culty. The Friduy before Ed., sou of Joe Moore, hud his wrist almost cut off the accident happening near the place where his father was injured, notice of which wus made in our lost issue.

Mr. Colegrove also went to Rradford where he found two other gentlemen in the field, and thinking the office virtually belonged to Brad ford, lie withdrew from the contest and came home. It is no more than jnst to say that Mr. Colegrove was not aware of the' Rradford gentlemen being in the field or he would not have made an effort for the office. e understand lie Intends being a candidate tliis fall foa the position of Associate Judge, and we do not know of a citizen more fitly qual fled for the position than W.

Tlie indications this mornrngare that the heat of to-day will exceed that of yesterday, which was the hottest day of tho season so far. A cool wave is, however, reported on its way from Manitoba. The thermometer yesterday at Sandwich, Ills., registered 103 degrees; at Fair burg, Ills., 100; Danville, IHs., 108; McGregor, la., 105; Michigan City, Ind., 100; Pontiac, Ills., 101; Blooni ington, Ills., 102; Lasalle, Ills., 100 St. Joseph, Mo., 100; South Haven, Mich., 08; Chatsworth, Ills., 100; Racine, Wis 102. Many towns report that it was the hottest day ever known. Sunstroke was frequent, and out-of-door work was largely suspended. We think that it is honorable fora young man coming to this country as a "Patent Pack Peddler" (as A. T. Stewart did,) aud after learning the ways of the country to commence business in the county seat and finally eclipse the "Largest Retail store in Western Pennsylvania " Also, it must be considered that such remarks are made only by Ignorant proprietors who never knew what ft was to be without a "million dollar father" to brace him up occasionally. Such riches are very handy, but does not give the bearer any credit, as aiy fool could get money that way, especially when they have a shrewd father to show them how to haudle and keep it. If you want to buy the beat goods ut the lowest possible prices call at the New York Store where the two proprietors can sell more goods in a day than the "Largest Retail" can in eight, the barking dogs thrown in.

From tlie Elk Democrat of Inst week. As our readers will remember, at the session of tho Elk County coiYrt 6f common pleas held on the I9th of July an application was made by the New York, Lake Erie and Western coal and railroad company for a pre liminary injunction restraining the Pittsburg and New York railroad company from obstructing or Inter fering with the construction of a rail road from Alton to Falls Creek) And that the court granted said prelimin ary injunction, fixing Tuesday1, Aug. 2, as the time for a bearing, to ascer tain whether the Injunction should be made perpetual, or whether it should be dissolved, that on the 21st and 22d of July said preliminary injunction was served upon the Pittsburg and New York railroad company, aud that work upon their line was stopped at once; that on the 27th of July the Pittsburgh and New York railroad company made application before Judge Brown, at Warren, praying for tlie dissolution of the preliminary In junction granted on the 10th of Julv, which prayer was granted without prejudice to the New York, Lake Erie and Western coal and railroad company, and wl'.h the privilege of reliistutement nftor a hearing; that the same day that the preliminary in junction was disolved, work was re sumed upon the line of the Pittsburg and New York railroad company. Tuesday of this week being the day fixed for the hearing, court was opened at 9 A. M., with Judges Brown and Jones upon tlie bench. The New York, Lake Erie and Western coal and railroad company, the, plaintiff, was represented by Hon. Rasselas Brown, of Warren; Hon. John (J. Hall.of Ridgway; Goo. Biddle,Esq.,of of Philadelphia, and Geo. A. Rathhun, Ridgway, and tlie Pittsburg and New York railroad company, the defendant by Hon. Geo. A. Jeuks, of Brookville; Th os. F. Wentworlh, of New York; Rufus Lucoro and J. M. Schram, of Ridgway. The case was opened for plaintiff by Mr. Rathbun by reading an amend ment to the bill of Plaintiff; the act of incorporation of the Wilcox and Howard Hill improvement company (uudcr whose charter the plaintiff proposes to build the road); affidavit of B. D. Hammond, serelary of the Wilcox and Howard Hill improve ment company; miiiutesof meetingsof Wilcox aud Howard Hill improve ment company; affidavit of Thomaj L Kane, president of Wilcox and Howard Hill improvement company; affidavit of O. V. Barnes, chief engi neer of Buffalo, Brad ford and Pittsburg railroad extension; affidavit of Ro'it. Harris, vice president and General manager of the New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad company; affi davit ot A. A. Clay, cashier of the Wilcox and Howard Hil! improve ment company, stating that lie paid out $60,000 for work on the road; affi davit of F. S. D. Braughten; affidavit of A. B. M'Donough ; certified copy of record from M'Kean couuty, chang ing name from Wilcox aud Howard Hill improvement company to New York, Lake Erie aud Western rail road company; a number of deeds and releases. Objection was made by defandant's attorneys to the reception of ail docu mentary evidence that did not apply to that portion of tho hue lying be tween Johnson burg aud Ridgway. Mr. Wentworth opened the case for defence by reading the answer to plaiutiff's bill; certificates of search in Elk and M'Kean counties, showing tlie conveyance of lands to the Wilcox and Howard Hill improvement com pany; extracts from reports of General Kane, as president of the Wilcox and Howard Hill improvement company, as found in the reports of the Secre tary of luternal Affairs; affidavits of E. E. Willurd, W. C. Maloney, Geo. P. Cornell, C. R. Earley, R. I. Camp bell, John B. Wheeler, J. N. Rhines and Geo. II. Woodward. In addition to the above, the defense offered the" charter of incorporation of the Pittsburg and New York Railroad company. In rebuttal, plaintiff offered affida vits of A. A. Clay, Julius Jones and H. G. Clay, and acts of Assembly of April 5 and 11, 1807. The evidence being closed Mr. Hall opened the argument for plain tiff, and contended that the charter of the Wilcox aDd Howard Hill improve ment company, under which the plaintiff company proposes to build tho road, is valid, the provision of tlie Constitution of 1874 not applying thereto, and denied that the franchises of the plaintiff com pany could be called in questiou in this issue. In support of these posl tioii8,he cited a number of authorities, and supplemented them by a very ablo and ingenious argument. Dis cusing the questiou of good faith, he recited the fact that the plaintiff in 1870 expended $18,000, and iu 1871 made a further expenditure of $20,000 making a total of SU.000. He occu pied two hours in the delivery of his argument, and was followed by Mr. Jeuks for the defence who laid down three propositions, viz.: 1st, Tlie charter of plaintiff is invalid under the Constitution. 2d, If it is not in valid, it confers no right to build be tween Johsonburg and Ridgway; 3d, If it is not invalid, and eouters the right to build between Johnsonburg and Ridgway, the plaintiff company has not the prior location. Upon these propositions Mr. Jenks cited numerous authorities", and argued learnedly and well for one hour when court adjourned. Upon the re-assembling of the court at 8:30 A.M. Wednesday, Mr. Jenks resumed his argument, and continued his argument, and continued for an hour and a half, devoting a large share of his time to a review and dis cussioh of the facta of the case. Mr. Riddle dosed the argument for the plaintiff. Taking tip Iu turn the questions of oaganiratioh, good faith, character of franchises, and location, he met the objections raised by Mr. Jenks th a manner that showed perfect familiarly with the law and decisions bearing upon the case, as well as a thorough acquaintance with i6 facts Involved in tho controversy. He spoke two hours and made a good impression, if the attention he commanded may be taken as an Indi cation of the fact. After the presentation of a t few points by Mr. Brown for the plaintiff", which were conibatted by Mr. Jenks for the defence, court adjourned. Pending a decision, work upon both roads will be continued. PRIMARY ELECTIONS. The new Law for their Regulation. Tho several candidates for County Commissioner. Treasurer, etc., should bear in mind that tho last Legislature passed a stringent law for the govern ment of primary elections. And for the benefit of candidates, as well ns tho election officers, nnd that they may govern themselves accordingly we ap pend the act. This law was passed for tho purpose of preventing frauds by both parties on such occasions, and was approved by Governor Hoyt on the 2!Uh day of June: That from nnd after the passage of this act it shall lie lawful and it Is hereby made the duties of the judges, inspectors and clerks or other officers of tlie primary elections, meetings or caucuses held for the purpose of nomi nating candidates for ptate, city and county offices within the common wealth of Pennsylvania, before enter ing upon the discharge of their duties severally to take and subscribe to an oath or affirmation in the presence of each other in form as follows, namely I ( A. B.) do that I will as judge' inspector or clerk (us!the case mav be) at the ensuing election, Impartially and faithfully perform my duties in accordance with the laws and consti tution of the common wealth of Penn sylvania, and in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by the party of the county of ror tnc government of the said primary elec tions, meetings or caucuses to the best of my judgment and abilities." The oatii or affirmation shall be first ad ministered to the judge by one of the inspector, then the judge so qualified shall administer the oath or affirma tion to the inspectors or clerks, and may administer tlieoath to any elector offering to vote as to his qualifications to vote at such election. If any judge, inspector, clerk or other officer of a primary election ns aforesaid shall presume to act in such capacity before the taking nnd sub scribing to the oath or affirmation required by this net, be shall, on con viction be fined not exceeding two hundred dollars; and if any Jud"e inspector, clerk or other officer, when' in the discharge of his duties as such, shall wilfully disregard or violate the provisions of any rule duly made by the said party of county for the government of the primary 'elec tions of the party, be shall, on convic tion, be fined hot exceeding two hun dred dollars.and If any judge or inspector of a primary election as aforesaid shall knowingly reject the vote of any person entitled to vote under the rules of the said party, or shall knowingly receive the vote of any person or persons not qualified ns aforesaid, shall on conviction be fined not exceeding two hundred dollars and if any judge, inspector, clerk or other, officer of a primary election as aforesaid shall be guilty of anv wilful fraud in the discharge of his duties by destroying or defacing ballots, adding ballots to the poll other than those lawfully voted by stuffing the ballot box, by false counting, by making false returns, or by any act or thing or thing whatsoever, tlie person so offending shall be deemed guiltv of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined not exceeding five hundred dollars or imprisoned not ex ceeding one year or both or either, at the discretion of the court. All acts or parts of acts of assembly Inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed, except in counties or cities where special acts are in force for the same purpose: Provided, however, in such cases where the provisions of this act nre accepted tlie special acts shall be null and void: Provided further, That the provisions of this act shall entail no expense to the county or cities adopting it. Haunted Me. A workingmnn says: "Debt.poverty and suffering haunted me for years, caused by a sick family and large bills for doctoring, which did no good. I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by tlie advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters aud com menced their use, and in one month we were all well, and none of us have been sick a day since; and I want to say to all poor men, you can keep your families well a year with Hop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will cost." Christian Advocate. Tlie Wheat Crop. STATISTICS COXCEHXlNa THIS AND LAST YEAR'S CHOPS. Chicago, August 4. A special to the Times, from St. Paul, Minn , says: "According to the official report, just issued, the total acreage of wheat for 1880 is 2,000.073 acres, and for 1881, 2, 000,078 acres, showing an increase of only 005 acres. The crop for 1880 is reported to be 39,371,799 bushels, which gives an average yield per acre for the state, of 13.30 bushels. The average yield for the state of the other princi pal cerials was for 1880: Oats, 33.49 bushels; corn 81.07 bushels; corn, 81.07 bushels ; barley, 23.21. The In crease in average for 1881 is ; oats, 8.00 por cent., corn 12.62 per cent., and barley, 71:21 per cent. In regard to this year's wheat crop the reports differ considerably. The storms and floods have done more or less damage in different localities, and the chinch bugs have spread over a much larger area and have caused some injury. On the whole, however, the latest re ports are quite favorable, especially from the northern, part of the state; and the prospects now are that the state will produce a fair crop of wheat while the other cerials promise more than average results. The immense "Large Retail's" 2d of July sales statement was, we are sorry to unyi made by the book keeper who was just recovering from the effects of a little social pionio held back of the saw mill with All. Brown and Joe. Black therefore, was not in the least responsible. The ignorant proprietors of the "Large Retail" have a great deal of wind and use it principally, in blowing about the down-town humbugs. Now we will show the public where the humbug ging comes Jn. When the down town 'merchants brty anything tor have any work done, they pay tor it with legal ' tender, 100 cents to 'the dollar, and not with home mode paper which is only worth 4 cents per pound for paper rags. Again, we had a pcrsoiiwi Interview with a poor down creek hard working man, who had saved about $500 ot scrip, not realy kuowlng its value of course, but, upon visiting one of the banks in town and wishing to procure a draft for part of the same, you may imagine how the cashier looked at the man and wanted to know "how long he had been over" and told him that the scrip in his possession was only common paper and was good for nothing, but, if be would take it where it originated, at the "Large Retail," he might get a little something for it. Well the man said that he went immediately to the store in question, presented his scrip and wished its equivalent in money. As usual, the proprietor casually re marked that it was not payable in cash but he coflld have some goods for It, therefore as he had the dead-wood on the poor man, he offered him a suit of clothes from the 1845 spring stock. As tlie down creek man was not picking up oui hklk-s lie did not procure the suit, and as nil their stock that they showed him seemed to be about on ijur with the 1815 spring suit the poor fellow had to leave without anything, alter working hard for three years to obtain tlie scrip he carried. Now we ask the public if tlii:i is not humbugging the working man in tliciiost acute manner possi ble, if it is not a nuisance, in fact if such a dog-show is not a disgrace to the country.
