Fire. Ho leain that a fire occurred
in St. Mary's on Sunday last, but not
having heard nny of the particulars
cannot give them.
Knit ata. In publishing the report
of the County Superintendent, an error
was made by the compositor. Where
it reads "Number studying Grammar,"
it ohould read " Number studying Gcr.
man."
Removed. James MeUloskcy has
removed his establishment to Centre

with a call.
Horrible AcciUENT.-Last Monday
tho mills at Highland Iclon'Miis to
James & Evans were completely do.
niolished by the bursting of a boiler,
blowing tho mill to pieces and killm;,'
a man named Smith, the engineer, who
was the only one in the mill at the time.
The man waa blown about one hundred
and fifty yards and was found lodged in
n hemlock tree about fifty foct hirh.
HsF'ffliC proceedings of the Conven
tion of School Directors held here on
Tuesday having been rather dull and
bpiriilcss, our (''' Dr. ('. LI. Ewrley
performed a sorio coinieo act by way of
iifterpiece, in which he essayed the part
of Aunt Kcziah, General of the Ainbcr
ill Bripade, imagining us to be the cno
Uiy. To make his rou'osr.nt:ition cojd
plete, lit only lacked the pepperbox,
rolling pin and bag of dougbnuN. The
umbrella he had, and flouri-hed it in a
manner worthy of a vck r.i:i of the
" Ambrrill Diigade." 1 1 is related ol
the Elder Booth, that in his best acling
upon the staao he seemed tofo:get that
he was merely an actor and imagin :d
that he was the rcul hero, to the real
danger of his co-uetois. We for ;i time
feared that the Doctor labored under a
similar hallucination, but we did him
injustice ; " Aunt Kcziah " had not tor.
gotten her part, and after striking an
artistic w, tho fatal blow was not
flivrn. Impartial criticism requires us
to Bay that the theatrical effect would
have been better, if the fiiend who
stepped forward and seized Aunt.
Kcziah's amherill had done so before
it was so evident there was no danger.
IJut seriously, this quarrel was a mis
take which gentlemen should not be
guilty jf. Encounters of this kind
whould be left to bruies ami blackguards.
He are charitable and don't think
the Doctor such a bad fellow after all ;
we arc rather disposed to look upon this
breach of propriety as only an exhibi.
tion of an infirmity common to human
nature.
The Election.
Tho School Directors of Elk county
met in tho Court House on Tue day
last for the purpose of electing a county
Superintendent. There wero forty di
rectors answered to their names.
On motion, Henry Souther was elec.
cd chairman and J. L. Brown Secre
tary. On motion, the Convention proceeded
to the nomination of candidates, as fol
lows :
Mr. James Blakely, of St. Mary's.
Dr. Hr. 11". Shaw, of Kersey.
Geo. JJ'almsley, of St. Mary's.
The nominations wero then closed,
and the balloting commenced.
Mr. Blakcly was elected on tho first
ballot, by a vote of 22 to 18.
On motion, the Convention adjourn
ed. The Oil City AVyiVcr says four.
' fifths, if not all the people cf the 20th
district, are anxious that Mr. Culver
should resign his seat in Congress. It
contends that " if Congress fails to re
move the tax on petroleum, it will bo
clearly his fault." There is another so
called representative of the petroleum
iuterests wlio will have to t-harc the
bluuie with Culver. Olmrrcti:
