We clip the following from the War

J. P. Murston died Sunday, Jan. 22,

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

while their half-frozen crew suffered
terribly. As the wind subsided the
cold iucreused, and yesterday morning

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

Appkoved The 12th day of April,
A D, 1881. Henry M. Hoyt.
'Squire Porter's Flouring Mill Burned.
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.

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."
