A scarf pin made of a dollar gold piece on which is engraved the initials "H. H. W" was lost Tuesday night either on Mill or Main street. The finder will confer a favor by leaving the same at this office. The Bogert House lunch room Is the place to go for a quiet lunch or a equare meal. Bogert understands running a hotel, and the addition of a lunch room shows that he is wide awake to the wants of his patrons. There are sixty-one trout streams in Pennsylvania that the fish commis sion have stocked with fish, placing from one thousand to six thousand in each stream. By a law, Ashing in waters thus stocked is forbidden until threeyears after such stocking. Clean Up- An exchange well says that persons having cabbages patches in their gardens should look to it that no decayed heads remain, aa it is con sidered to be a fruitful source of diph theria. It would be well to watch the ce.'lars carefully during the coming Winter for all manner of decayed vegetables. A little sanitary regula tion about the house and vicinity will repay our readers in the enjoyment of better health and reduced doctor bills. The debt reduction for the current month will be lurge according to ap pearances at the close of business in wasmngton on Monday. The re ceipts so far have been $26,000,000, and the ordinary disbursements, $14,000, 000. In addition to this the interest payments for the month which have to be substracted amount so far to $3, 700,000. This leaves with the returns of two days to count, something like f 9,000,000 surplus for the month. Mercer Brother s meat market was on fire Saturday evening at about 6 o'clock. The stove pipe was stuck through a hole in the roof and as this condition of things has existed for years tbe only wonder is that the building has not been burned long ago. The bucket brigade was on hand and extinguished the Are with out loss. J. 8. Singleton, the owner of the building, has had a substantial chimney build since the fire, and the stove pipe peeks through the roof no more. This little Incident should prompt our citizens to look at once to the safety of stove pines and flues. It will be a matter of more than common interest to the farmer read ers of The Advocate: to learn that there is iu existence and in full force a statute of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, by a knowledge of which many dollars may be saved to them. It is to the effect that any person who shall transplant ou the side of the public highway, on hisown premises, any fruit, shade or forest trees of suitable size, shall be allowed by the supervisor, when the roads run through or adjoin cultivated fields, an abatement on his road tax of one dol lar for every four trees set out. The trees must, however, be set out the year previous before the allowance will be granted, and they must be alive and well protected. This law was enacted May 2, 1879, and deserves the widest publicity. Mm 3 Personalties. v Capt. Fred. Bchcenlng went to Chicago on Tuesday. D. R.

Parmlee and Mies Honor Stevens. The Captain Is a brave man but had to yield to super ior forces. Beveral ladies and gentle' men were present from Warren, bear ing with them a fitting remembrance from "I" Co., N. O. P , in the shape of an elegant sword and belt. His soldier boys were evidently anxious he should be well armed. Warren Mail. MARRIED. Gorton Gkenell. At the resi dence of Du Hois Gorton, Thursday, Nov. 24. 1881, by the Rev. S. M. Clark, Mr. Frank Gorton and Miss Nellie E. Grenell, all of Rldgway, Pa. Corporal Gorton and his fair bride have the best wishes of The Advo cate office, all hands and the Devil, for their future success and prosperity. Frank evidently believes that "it Is not good for man to go it alone" es pecially with a hard winter staring a fellow In the face.

The unlucky critter lost no time in resuming her former attitude and to mo astonishment of tbe passengers who witnessed the destressing scene she walked up the track in the direct ion of the train as if nothing of import ance had occurred. Her carriage was as gentle as usual though somewhat after the fashion of tho delicate kan garoo. The feet dangled at the end of the shortened limbs, being connected by a portion of the skin that had not been severed by the car wheels. The sight was disgusting In the extreme and some turned from It with restless stomachs. Chautauqua Co. Grand Central P. & K. Butter at the Christmas cards! Christmas cards!!

From an exchange we copy the fol lowing, relative to the contest for Sheriff In McKean county, In which, it appears, Col. A. I. Wilcox was suc cessful only by extraordinary efforts to get in the returns and making double-quick time from Kendall to Sinetbport: The laws of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania provide that an election return to be counted, must be sent to the prothonotary's office at the county seat within twenty-four hours from the close of election day. Wednes day evening about nine o'clock it was discovered at Sinetbport, McKean county, that the returns from the borough of Kendall were missing. There was a hasty gathering of Wil cox men, and some hasty figuring was done, involving the startling fact that without the vote of that borough, Sart- well, the opposition candidate, had eleven majority. The telegraph operator was routed out, and a message flashed over to Wilcox. His jubilant townsmen had hardly got over tbe celebration, but when the gravity of the situation be came apparent, they sobered up at once. The fast ponies of Col. Wilcox were bitched up in a twinkling, and tbe returns handed to the driver at ten o'clock. He had just two hours to make twenty miles. "Kill the horses If you want to, but get there ou time," was the Colonel's parting exhortation, as the ponies dashed outj into the night. At ten minutes before twelve the ponies, all foam-flecked and mud-bespattered, rushed up to the court house square at Sinetbport. Tbe driver flung himself out with the returns that were to save Wilcox, and at eight minutes before twelve their receipt was acknowledged by tbe proper officer. It was close work, and the fastest time on record. Scrap pictures! scrap pictures!! scrap pictures!!! a great variety at The Advocate office. Tbe latest and greatest discovery Is Peruna.

"Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family well tbe past season when all the rest of us have been sick so much, and have bad the doctors visiting us so often." "Bro. Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time; kept my family well and saved the doctor bills. Three dollars' worth of it kept us well and able to work all the time. I'll warrant it has cost you and the neighbors one to two hundred dollars apiece to keep sick the same time." "Deacon, I'll use your medi cine here after." A. Swartz Boss, Merchant Tailor, sign of the red front, Main street, Bidgway, Pa., has. on hand a large stock of gents' furnishing goods in connection with his tailoring estab lishment. He has a large stock of samples for winter suitings. Orders promptly filled and all work guaran teed to give satisfaction. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is a really remarkable and time-honored medi cine.

Fulton county, hemmed In as it is on all sides by mountains, is the only county in Pennsylvania without a railroad. But it looks now as if this boon was about to be given its people. The McConnellsburg Democrat notices the advent of Cols. Stewart and Roberts with a corps of engineers Into that borough, for the purpose of making a survey for a railroad through the county, to connect with tbe Baltimore fc Cumberland Valley road at Chambersburg and a new road under construction by W. H. Van derblltfrom Pittsburgh eastward. It is thought that within the next three years Fulton county will be relieved of the reproach so often cast upon it, as the only county In the State with out a railroad. ' Temperance Call. ''Go. bear what I have heard. The sobs of sad despair, As memory's feeling fount hath stlred, And It revealing there . Bare told me what I mlcbt have been, Had I tbe drunkard's late foreseen. see e Qo, bear, and tee, and reel, and know All that my soul baa felt and known, Tben look within tbe Wine-cup's glow; Bee If Its brightness can atone: Think of IU flavor yon would try. . If all proolalmed, 'U drink and die." To those who have listened to the Impassioned utterances of Major Boott as night after night he makes bis ur gent appeal for the promotion of tem perance reform, with arguments based upon and anecdotes drawn from his personal experience and observations; the above lines will convey a vivid word picture of the scenes and senti ments he so forcibly expresses and richly portrays. Attentive audiences have gathered each evening and a deep interest has been manifested by the people In the temperance move ment. Many have taken tbe pledge to abstain from the use of all intoxi cating liquors as a beverage. Tbe Major speaks without notes in clear and forcible language, now in well modulated pleasing tones, and anon, with rallying war cry he wheels his columns into line. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sun day, and Monday evenings the work of recruiting went on. For a few minutes after each lecture secretarys were busily engaged recording the names of the signers. One hundred and sixty-four names were taken up to the close of the Monday evening lecture. Sunday and Monday even ings the church was crowded with those who came to hear and see. Major Scott and his noble and de voted wife have been engaged in this work for about five years. Their field extends from Maine to the Mississippi and as a result of their devotion they can cite the names of over one hun dred thousand who have beeu enlisted under tbe banner of the "Christlau Temperance Union." In the city of Williamsport ten thousand names were inscribed on the rolls. Come out to the M. E. Church any night, every night, hear and see the Major and join the temperance army. C. JE. H. If a train of thirty cars, each car containing one huudred passengers, should fall through a rotten bridge, and another train with as many pas sengers follow it down into the abyss, and every person on board should be crushed to death or drowned, wouldn't there be a seusatlon? Yet that many brakeman are killed annually, and very little is said about it. And this wholesale slaughter of young men is attributable in the main to the murder ous car-couplees now in use devices which are certain to catch a brakeman sooner or later. It is the duty of all State Legislatures to pass laws com pelling tbe introduction of safety coup lers. Until that is done the slaughter will continue, with "nobody to blame" but the poor brakeman himself, who must take his life in his hand and walk into the trap a dozen times a day. Exchange. Tbe Greenbackers of the Forty- seventh Congress, who had about de termined to nominate a candidate for Speaker Independent of either party, have concluded not to do so. It was intended to confer tbe nomination upon Congressman Ladd, of Maine, in the dim hope that be might slip into the Speaker's chair between the can didates of the other parties. The news of J. Hyatt Smith's determined Re publican stand, tbe information that two Missouri Greenbackers, were go ing into tbe Republican caucus, and tbe fact that the Virginia Rcadjusters, upon who they had relied for some help, were pledged to the Republicans, had tbe effect of weakening tbe Green back determination, and it has been announced that no candidate would be nominated.
