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

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.

A Peculiar Accident.
Bradford Star.
As the O., B. & W. Railway train,
which pulls out of this city at 2:20 P.
M., was approaching Bell's Camp
yesterday it came in contact with a
healthy bovine commonly called the
cow, knocking her down and cutting
off both hind legs about midway be
tween tbe gambrel joint and the knee.
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.

Saving the Day.
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.

A Wise Deacon.
"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."

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.

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.
