Beautiful weather these days, more
like spring than mid-winter, and
very poor winter for lumbering
although just right for railroading.
A young man named James Stln
son has brought suit against the city
of Altoona asking for damages in the
um of f50,000. While he was wait
tng on the outside of a church for the
meeting to let out, bo that he could
take his girl home, a policeman came
along, nabbed him for making a dis
turbance in front of the church and
marched him to the lockup. Because
of the disgrace thus put upon him,
Stinson's girl gave him the mitten,
and his rich maiden aunt, who had
Intended to make him her heir,
changed her will so as to cut him off
"without a cent. And -so he proposes
to have redress agaiust the city.
Mrs. Smith, of Long Island, was
sick unto death. The only care of her
dying hours was her six children and
Mr. Smith. That they might be well
cared for after her death she demanded
that her husband marry her sister.
To satisfy the dying lady he con
sented. With woman's perversity
Mrs. Smith then Insisted that the
marriage should take place before her
death. In that spirit of self-sacrifice
and conipliunce with duty that dis
tinguished the gallant Captain Reeve,
the Bab Bnllad hero, Mr. Smith did
s he was bid, and the ceremony was
performed, whereupon Mrs. Smith
immediately got better. It is plain
that Mr. Smith will have to go to jail
or to Utah. Philadelphia Press.
At the close of the lecture in the

An excellent authority says that a
year's experience with broad wugon
wheels is conclusive as to their value.
A four-inch tire will carry two tons
over soft ground with greater ease to
the team than a two-and-a-half inch
tire will carry oue ton. The wheels
are not so much strained by stones and
rough tracks on the roads, and the
road is not cut up, but on the contrary
Is uacked down and kept smooth
The prevalent idea that the draft is
increased by wideniug the tire is alto
gether baseless; on the contrary, c
wide tire reduces the draft. The
extra cost to the tire is repaid many
times over every year in the extra
work done by a team. These facts
should not only he remembered by
teamsters, farmers, cartmen, and
others, but they should be acted upon
as soon as circumstances will permit.
A means of getting rid of muti
lated currency has been discovered iu
tne bt- Louis churches, where the
coins are dropped in the collector's
box. Prominent ministers there are
reported as saying that the effort to
pass mutilated money has been pro
ductive of more profit to the church
than when all sorts of silver brie a
brac was passable. A man now who
holds a punctured half dollar, after
essaying to pass It for merchandise
and being unsuccessful, finally resorts
to the collection box, and with the
shortsightedness peculiar to roguery,
he drops a half dollar or quarter
where formerly a nlckle or a dime
sufficed. The money, when it accu
mulated, is sent to the United States
mint, where it is received aud paid for
as bullion, containing a loss of five
per cent.
Habit, If not necessity, makes a
Hair Dressing such as Dr. Ayer's
laboratory issues, indispensable to
many. Ayer's Hair Vigor is one of
the most delightful we have ever used.
It restores not only the color, but gloss
and luxuriance, to faded and gray
hair.

len, Esq., of this town, "and you will
not say too much." He heard her at

Reserved seats
the Teachers'
institution a
are going fast.
Remember that
Institute is a home
county enterprise for our good and for
the good of our children. Will you
sustain it? The teachers will drop
thousands of dollars into the coffers
of the town of Ridgway. Will you as
citizens allow their programs, which
are of the very best to go begging?
Would it not be just the thing to do,
that in, forall toassist in arousing pub
lic sentiment in favor of a general out
pouring to attend the institute? Is it
just the tiling to get up side shows to
Interfere? I ask iu all candor and
charity is it right? If the institute
should not receive universal favor and
support what Is there that should?

rrajueut nosie in tne corridor o
the Cinciunali Court House disturbed
J udge Harmor of this Supreme Court,
and he resolved at length to make an
example of the next offenders. It was
not long afterward that loud laughter
arose. "Go out." thundered his Honor
to an officer, "and arrest those men."
The mandate was observed, and three
offenders was quickly arraigned at the
bar. They were the City Solicitor,
the clerk of the court, and a venerable
lawyer. ''May it please your Honor,'
explained the lawyer. "We didn't
know that we were disturbing any

Humbugged Again.
I saw so much said about the merits
of Hop Bitters, and my wife who was
always doctoring, and never well,
teased me so urgently to get her some,
I concluded to be humbugged again;
and I am glad I did, for in less than
two months use of the Bitters my
wife was cured and she has remained
so for eighteen months since. I
like such humbugging. H. T., St.

Judge Ileeder on Certain Laws.
Lock Haven Journal.
Judge Howard J. Reeder, presiding
at the criminal courts now In session
iu his remarks to the Grand Jury on
Monday called ittention to the ter
rible inconsistency of the law of
Pennsylvania in his views of larceny
and misdemeanor, characterizing
them as unreasonable and inconsistent,
in that it called the stealing of a loaf
of bread a felony aud the embezzle
ment of thousands by a cashier a mis
demeanor. The man who betravs a
trust and confidence and brings ruin
on hundreds only commits a misde
meanor, while the man who takes a
loaf of bread, it may be to save his
family from starving, is to be tried for
felony. "Such distinctions," said the
Judge, "in our laws are absurd, and
should be speedily wiped from our
statute books, or changed so as to in
clude as felonies a number of offences
now classified as misdemeanors and
reduce several of the offences now
punished as felonies to the grade of
misdemeanors.''
In Answer to c. c
To Henry A. Parsons, Jr.,
Editor of Elk Advocatb.
In your Issue of Deo. 16, 1881, I no
tice an article signed "C. C." In which
the writer attempts to tell what he
thinks about temperance. I am much
pleased that he frankly Informs us
that he is in favor of the cause, as
without such information, one read
ing the remaining" portion of the
article would be 'strongly impressed
that he was opposed to it. He at once
applies the endearing term of "soul
inspiring drug" to that which a tem
perate man understands to be vile
whiskey, and poison. It Is well that
"C. C." has at hut discovered what
has long been apparent to so many
others, that is, that there are so many
people in Ridgway that cannot con
trol their appetite when once they
have tasted the poison. We agree
with him that it Is too bad that such
Is the fact, and we would act in ac
cordance with what we say and would
use all honorable means to check the
evil of drinking intoxicants to excess.
Wc further think that Major Scott's
effort with us has had more Influence
in that direction than anv and all
other agencies known to this commu
nity. What do the liquor dealers say?
"t;. C." Inquires, "Must all be bound
to be temperate?'' "Does the Divine
or human law oblige us to be abso
lutely temperate?" In answer to the
first question I would say, that all
ought to be temperate. The answer to
the second question is, that the Divine
law requires us to be temperate; the
law of humanity also requires It, and
I might add, that the law of many of
the states require It. But the terrible
habit of drunkennessproves to us that
no law obliges all to be temperate as
some will be drunken and laivtess. "C.
C." claims to have rend all the Scrip
tures and never to have found any ob
ligation in the Divine law to be
totally temperate. I would advise
"C. C." to search the Scriptures, for
in them it is required. Space will not
permit me to give each separate text
for proof, and it is eykjent.that It will
not iuure "C. C." to read the Scrip
tures again, while other readers will
readily call to mind the passages.
'C. C." asks, "Does science con
demn the use of stimulants?" Not
being a scieutlst I would not answer,
and agoin it is foreign to the question I
under consideration. Why urge all to
sign the pledge? Because it is right
for all that understand it to do so. It
is as follows:
National Christian Temperance Union.
With Malice 7'ouard A'onc and Charily for Ath
I, the undersigned, do pledge my
word and honor, GOD HELPING
ME. to abstain from all Intoxicating
Liquors as a beverage and that I will
by all honorable means encourage
others to abstain.
Will "C. C." over his own name
state what word or sentiment he ob
jects to in the above pledge? We
agree with "C; C." , that It should
otuy be signed after (xirejul and cool
deliberation. It does seem, however,
as tnougii a good mind out to be able
to understand that pledge after three
weeks of "careful ami cool delibera
tion." Has ."C. C" signed It? "C,
C." thinks the pledge should not be
given to "children not having arrived
in me age oi reason." in this 1 con
cur. I am not aware that any such
have taken the pledge. Allow that
some poor, weak-minded person, has
taken the pledge who does not under
stand it, In our practical life such
things must occur, yet we would not
cease to live for that reason, nor
would we stop the onward march of
this erreat and good work. Our friend
"C C." seems to have great respect
for the church, and rightly. But does
he not know that generally children
are uapuzi n, and required to answer
the questions in the enVechisih' before
they have arrived at the age of reason?
"C. ('.'' is much opposed to blasphemy,
infidelity, divorce, and immorality.
We wisli he would dig them all up
root and branch and cast them into
limbo. And as long as he is not en
gaged in this temperance movement,
he might give his whole attention to
it, knowing all the time that the tem
perance people will lend him a help
ing baud, and that when their great
work is done, that his also will be
finished. Whom the gods would de-
destroy they first make mad drunk.
"CO.'" says, "Intemperance though
a very wicked sin, has never brought
a curse trom God on the whole human
family, but immorality has as in the
case of Sodom and Gomarrah." Allow
me to ask "C- C." if God at the de.
struction of Sodom aqil Gomorrah
brought a curse on the Whole human
family? I think humanity suffers
more in Ridgway on account of drun
kenness than on occount of the de
struction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
"C. C." asks, "Have we not good
christian ministers iu our town, that
have been tried in the field and found
faithful, that can preach temperance
aud all other christian virtues?" In
answer to this 1 would say, that when
ever in this town a minister has at
tempted to preach temperance he has
been denounced by just such persons
as "C. C." A minister in this town
has Bald that be found it easier to face
the guerrillas in Missouri, than the
rum power of Ridgway. And although
the church may blush, the truth be
longs to the people, and I must say
there have been some ministers in
Ridgway that have neither preached
nor practiced temperance) 'OO.1 says
that, "St. Paul especially told the
women to besileut in the church."
I think St. Paul did not mean that
women should not sing provided they
made good musio St. JPaul allowed
wine as a medicine, so does the
pledge. St. Paul was also a great
advocate of temperance. But "C.
C." says, "If the motive be flomestio
happiness and not glory and .'honor to
God, then it is not Christianity, but
materialism." This hypothetical case
has no place in this connection it not
being based on any facts before us.
The motive is domestic, happiness and
glory and honor to God. Does "C. C."
suppose that to promote domeetlo
wretchedness is the way to glorify and
honor God? Christian missionaries
are sent to India to teach the heathen
better. Let me say that if temperance
Is right it should be upheld by all, lay
men as well as ministers. Mark IX,
8889 I read, "And John answered
him saying Master, we saw one cast
ing out devils in thy name, and he
followed not us, and we forbade him
because he followed not us. But Jesus
said, Forbid him not." Now let it be
distinctly understood that the good
cause of temperance should move on.
If the ministers of Ridgway will join
hands with us so much the better, but
the cause is greater than any man, or
number of men. If any man wishes
to worship Bacchus. I would only say,
"Let the dead bury their dead," while
we go onward. Be it remembered
that more than eighteen hundred
years ago When the priests and Le
vi tes failed to do their whole dulu.
there was heard the voice of one cry
ing In the wilderness, ''Make straight
the way of the Lord." And the voice
said to the Pharisees and Sadduoees,
"O generation of vipers who hath
warned you to flee from the wrath to
come? Bring forth therefore fruit
meet for repentance. And think not
to say within yourselves, We have
Abraham to our father: for I say unto
you that God is able of these stones to
raise up children unto Abraham."
God still lives. Homo.
Peg Leg Road in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Times says: In
the Foster Brook Valley, McKean
county, there lies the ruin of General
Roy Stone's one-rail railroad. It was
practically a single iron rail set on
stilts twelve feet from the ground.
The cars straddled the rail, like saddle
bags on a horse, in such a manner
that they could not be derailed. One
day the boiler of the locomotive ex
ploded and killed five young men.
Owing to the lack of power sufficient
to draw a train the road was aband
oned. A similar railroad has been
patented by J. V. Meigs, of Boston.
Models and drawings of the inven
tion were exhibited in the parlors of
of the Continental Hotel. An
effort will be made to introduce the
road into Philadelphia in place of the
regular style of elevated road. The
car will ruu on the top of the rail, but
will be fastened by the wheels in such
a manner that derailment is impossi
ble. The estimated cost will not
exceed $10,000 a mile through the
city.
