We clip the following from the War ren Mail it last Tuesday: J. P. Murston died Sunday, Jan. 22, 1KS2. He was born in Maine and would have been 0 years old in March next. lli had been in poor health for many years und his ailments finally ciilminulcil in Blight's disease of the kidneys. Mr. M. was n quiet and unobtrusive man of more than ordinary ability. He was a very successful architect, fai'penter and builder. His first work I here was building the Episcopal J Church. After that he put up numer ous buildings, among them the line resiliences of Judge.R. Brown, Robt. lYlini.-on and others. We believe be p'atiut-'i (he houses of Mr- White down town ami had supervision of their cou--t met ion, till his health failed. He was supervising architect ami builder of our Court House. He wus also the architect and builder of the Court House at ltidgway, Elk county. In all of them he showed that architectural knowledge, fine taste unci practical good sense which made him n vnhmblc man iu any cam munity. lie bore his Ions? sutleiings with wonderful patience and courage. His funeral is to be held to-day iTues day) from the house. We have heard considerable of late years about the disappearance of the old-fuuhloncd New England winter the winter when the mercury in the thermometer used to drop almost out of sight; when the snow fell to the depth of several feet and tlit'fi drifted mountain high; when fierce storms in bitter cold made a sleigh ride over the hilly roads a perilous journey. There has been more or less to confirm the theory that the old-time rigor of,the climate in that section had really been mitigated. Moretbun one winter in the last few years has been it comparatively mild season, but the experience of the last three days proves that the winter of the daddies still survives. It has heen cold and disagreeable enough here in Philadelphia, but we have had only a hint of the terrois of this latest spell of wtatber down East. On Hun day a violent wind from the West Set in, which raged all through the night and much of Monday, making it "al most as much us u man's life is worth" to attempt traveling in Its teeth, doing considerable damage on land and blow ing vessels along the const out to sea while their half-frozen crew suffered terribly.

Bee other col- uniUv Advxnc4. Afitwer to "A. Woman." Mr. Editor Ordinarily tlrtt class of splenetic croakers who resort to the public press, under cover of fictitious signatures, as a nrcdium through which to ventilate their peculiar Ideas, Is deserving of but little consideration, but the com munication published In your last issue, turnished by a gentleman who peeks to conceal his indentlty by en sconcing himself behind the gauzy skirts of "A Woman," from which to fulmlnte his denunciations of the late County Institute, and about all in any way connected with It, occurs to the liberal nnd fair-minded of Ihls com munity as a somewhat remarkable production, requiring more than a passing notice. In bis introduction he exhibits a simplicity that is charm ing by recording U et'tlrc willing ness to be corrected In any views of his that may erroneous, then pro pounds certain conundrums, follow ing up with lit idea of a County Institute, and In this connection, sug gests a comparison between an Elk County Institute held u score or more year! ago and the one held the curly part of this month, deducing' therefrom conclusions which he evidently imagined would cause this last to hide its insigninVunt head for very shame. Next Mr. 'A Woman, "in a spasm of virtuous indignation, involuntarily throws up his hand in holy horror at bis stated proposition that wo, the people, "had to iiay for the privilege of enjoying the evening musical and literary entertainments of the late in stitute, a feature by the way which has become an almost indispensable concomitant of school institutes In other states as well as Pennsylvania, hemisstiting the fact however that the aforesaid ivc virtually have paid theb'll three separate times, a bril liaut idea Hint it ts believed did not occur to any one except the astute gentleman referred to. Now as a dis claimer to the misstatements upon the financial aspects of tills matter, it Is only necessary to refer to the Itemised statement oi -hupt. .Dixon, which op portunely appeared in the same, issue of the Advocatk as the communica tion under Vcnsidcration, as a com plete refutation of the gentlmau's Charges in this respect it might be proper to suggest, rifcht here however, in parenthesis, that if it bu true, as stated, that the people were being swiudled by "side sh'w4, dearly paid for," then these unsophisticated souls seemed delighted with the process aye, and with the swindlers too for that matter, us on the first evening the spacious auditorium of the Court House was filled, Hie second night packed and the last literally crowded. But enough of this, from the fore going nnd much more contained iu the eomhi'iniiMtion of the gentleman, Might be deducted tho conclusion that the great brotherhood of cranks are not yet all gathered in at Washington, that this cynical critic who so itmui festly assumes to be an oracle In matters educational and literary iu this community, evidently still clings fondly to Home of the obsolete ideas of the era of the slow going stage conch the pony express mail service, the un- i decorated school room and the ancient triilli'tcnm methods of doing things generally, hut it won't do, Mr. Woman, in these day cf the lightn'ti. e- ptws, the altiiost Incomprehensible i accomplished fuels in telegraphy and telephony, the electric light, ami the improved methods and facilities de vised and utilized iu general educa tional matters, it is Mirprising tbut so intelligent a gentleman as this idio syncratic individual, would be found in this enlightened community Id in i list it lite a comparison between the Common School System of Pennsyl vania, atiil the manner in which it is executed ut the present day in Elk County and the systems and nctlioils in vogue a quarter of a century ago. uWtirdiiig, does the gentleman, the palm of efficiency and superiority to that ancient iind old fogy Way of doing things. Now I will only suggest In conclus ion, that notwithstanding the grace ful and felicitous manner in which the teachers' institute croaks and cranks get in their work in Ridgwav, the system and methods of conducting it by competent, industrious aud en- terprisi.,;i4 County Superintendents, will continue to be satisfactory and beneficial to the scholars and teachers, popular with the masses of the people, and will be heartily aided and sus taincd in Elk County. Now Mr. Editor 1 do not approve of the ambush style of firing upon an adversary, but as Mr. "A Woman"' bfts adopted this method of warfare I will, for the nonce, assume the A'oirt cle Guerre 6f A Man.

Clearfield Republican. A fire broke out between 6 and 7 o'clock" last Saturday evening, In 'Squire William Porter's flouring mill located on the river, about two and one-half miles south of the borough, and In a very fehort time, the mill with all Its contents, and George H. Hall's pump factory, was a smoking mass of ruins. The lights of the conflagration attracted quite a number of citizens to the scene, but ho assistance could be rendered. The mill was one of the best In this section bf country, aud comparatively new, having been erected about four years ago. It was run by water f ower and was furnished throughout with Improved machinery. The loss will probably reach $20,000, on which Mr. Porter holds policies of Insurance to the amount of $1,000 in companies represented by Reed & Hauerty. The fire originated In the office of the mill, by the upsetting and break ing of a coal oil lamp. The miller, Henry Dotts, In the excitement, upset a m riling dtsk or bench, which fell on and bioke a glass can continuing a gallon of oil. This capped the climax, and in an Instant the flames were creeping into every part of the build ing. The miller's house, within a few rods of the mill, was saved by the favorable direction in which the wind was blowing. The pump factory of Mr. Hall on the north of the mill was destroyed, aud It took pretty hard work and vigilant watching to save his residence, also on the north. Mr. Hull had purchased the Interest of his partner, W. L. Antes, that day, clos ing the contract about dusk, and pay ing him therefor $450. His loss will probably reach $1,000. No insurance. About $1-"U in cash, belonging to the miller and Mr. Poiter, wus lost. It wus iu the dek. Nearly $3,uu0 worth of grain was consumed. 'Squire Porter lost in the neighborhood of 1,400 bushels, and about 1,600 bushels of custom grain, belonging principally to farmers, con sisting bf wheat, rye, outs, corn, buckwheat, &c, were destroyed. With some of these th loss will be seriously felt, as all tho grain they hud bus been lost, and they will have to make other arrangements for flour from now until harvest. It is esti mated that there were grists to the amount of two hundred sacks iu the mill awaiting their turn. Several large loads of grain had only been put in the mill on Friday and Saturday last. Two pigs were roasted alive. Vc did not learn whether it is Mr. Porter's intention to rebuild or not, but presume ho will. A flouring mill is much needed at this point, und the opportunity will certainly be em braced by him or f'hef 'inpiUtlists, and thai soon. Business Cards. ATTORNEY-AT-LAW.

A was Insured In the Glen's Falls Insurance Company, and the policy provided that should the premises be Vacated, or should there be any In creases hi the risk by the erections or occupation of neighboring Wildings, or by any means, without the conseut of the company Indorsed on the policy, It should be void. Both of these pro visions were violated; and A, assum ing that his policy was avoided thereby took out a policy In the Wateftown Fire liisur'ance Company, which con tained the condition thai if the Insured had or should have any other Insur ance on the property unless It was In dorsed on tho policy or consented to In writing, the policy should be void. The property was destroyed, and In the action for the loss. Landers vs. Watertown Fire Insurance Company, the company defended on the ground of the policy in the Glen's Falls In surance Company, of which It bad no notice and hud not consented that it should stand. This defence pre vailed, tho New York Court of ap peals, in October, through Judge Andrews, deciding that the prior pol Icy was valid when issued, and was not void, but voidable ouly at the election of the Glen's Fulls Insurance Company. That company could waive the forfeltufflif It chose to do so, and therefore the policy was in exist ence. A sum of money was handed loan employer by his workman, with the request that he should take care of it for him, and It was placed by the employer, with ctlie? money of his own, iu his pocketbook, which was stolen from his persou. On a demand for the amount, theemploycr refused to puy, on the ground that he was not indebted therefor, but had received the money as a special deposit, which lie was bound only to keep with the same care he kept his own money An action was brought for the amount Schcemacher vs. Hinze, and judg ment recovered. Tl!e Supreme Court of Wisconsin, in October, ufflrmed the juggmcnt, Judge Lyon, in theopiriiou, saying: "The itiouey handed to the employer was not itself to be returned, but a like amount was to bo repaid the workman. The transaction was not, therefore, a bailment or special deposit, but what, in commercial language, is termed u general deposit, which id not a bailment, but Is in the nature of a loan. The liability of the employer is precisely the same us that of a bank upon a geucral deposit made with it." Bradatrcct'a. ELK CO. ADVOCATE RATES. YEARLY A DVF.KTFSIXQ.
