"Tiik Chilling Da y." Although
the weather for the past week ha3 been
like an unbroken summer day, we aro
constantly reoiinded of the near ap.
proach of tho wiutcr by tho whirling
about of the falling leaves and the ap.
pcaranco of the naked branches, that
must ere long bo born down with
weight of ice and snow, or writhe and

The rich may find a field of charity
without seeking for it among tho South
Sea Islanders. There is in every town
iuauy whose receipts aro barely enough
to support them through the summer,
and iu the winter, unless assisted, their
families must suffer. A load of coal
left at the door will look more like gcnu
ine gratitude than a ship load of tracts to
distribute among the heathen.
The Normal School Some weeks
ago a correspondent sect a communica
tiou to this paper on tho above subject,
spggestir.g therein a method of estab
lishing said institution within tho limits
of Elk county. As yet we have heard
nothing furthsr on the subject, and it
scorns to um that our citizens are stand
in their own light in not going immedi
ately to woik and seeing what can be
done in the matter. We believe the
State appropriation gives t tho sum of
815,000 for building purposes, aud there
is not a township or borough in Eik
county but is able to give the same
amount, thereby muting 830,000, which
when put into a building, would make
au institution which our citizens might
bo proud of. Right hero in Ridgway
is one ot the most beautiful spots ihe
State for a Normal School. Let our cit
zeus mo70 in this matter. It is well
worth th.c trial.

Predictions about the Winter.
Wo see it generally stated that Eu.
ropean meteorologists are predicting an
early and hard winter this year; for the
rcasoa that the birds of passage have
begun their migration southwards at
least a month earlier tht.n usual. Storks,
wild ducks and other birds are reported
to bo passing southwards over France
and Relgium in large numbers. Similar
signs of a severe winter have, from time
to time, been noted in our own country,
aud we arc inclined to attach more im
portance to them than weather prophe
sies usually deserve. Mctcreotagists say
a wet summer signifies a dry wiutcr, and
winters ore always proverbially cold.
Housekeepers should make a noto of
this inference, which we think will prove
correct.
The creat sale of aruiv clothimr.
and camp and garrison eqnippago, com.
mcuccd in rsew lork on luesdav. Uvcr
three million dollars' worth of property
as sold. 1 he salo was larsreiy attended
and went off with spirit, but iho uoods
brou"ht rather low prices. The sale
will realize about ouo-quurter the coft
of the articles.
The London Ti'mci says that the
I'opo has repeatedly and even very late,
ly expressed his firm resolutiou to abide
at his post, and, indeed, ever since his
return from Gaeta he has uiadc no
mystery of his aspirations to the crown
of martyrdom, and ot his readiness,
under any pressure of necessity, to take
refuge within thoso catacombs whonco
the church originally came forth trium
ph ant.
In concluding a paper on cotton
spinning machinery, read leforo the
Institution ot .Mechanical Lnginccrs at
Rirmingham, Mr. Piatt stated that the
number of spindles now employed in
the cotton manufacture in Great Rritain
exceeds 30,000,000. The produce ot
yarn when in regular work is 04,000,
000 miles in a day of ten hours, which
gives enough to wind four times around
Ihe globe every minute.
A man in Chicago stole some
money a year ogo from an acquaintance,
aud a day or two after eonicssed the
crime and promised restitution. The
next, day instead of fulfilling his promise,
he ran away. His wife then procured
a divorce and mairicd the man her bus-
band had robbed. On Tuesday the
thief came bick, aud was at once arrest
ed at the instance of the mau who had
taken his wife in payment for the
money he had stolen.
It is stated ic will cost 2,400,000
to complete the reconstruction of the
fortifications in France, and that the
amount will be voted iu five annual
instalments. A French writer adds
that they will cost a least another 2,
400,000 in the general mistrust and
paralysis of trade to which these work
y,ive rise. By tho time they aro com.
pletcd the causes which have given rise
to them will probably exist no longer.
In rejoiciug over their recent
victories, t!i3 Democracy are not wast
ing their strength in idle joy. Every
where, we learn, they are beginning to
organize for the next contest. This is
well and promises great results iu, the
future. Our Democratic friends should
sec that their papers are circulated as
far and widd as possible. Mre shall be
glad to enter a largo number moro of
new names to our list before winter,
providing they arc accompanied wilh
the cash.
Tho defeated Radicals, through
their organs in this State, aro attempt
ing to treat the clcctiou as though it
had uot been held at least they are
raising end threatening to raise con.
tcsls for dozens of offices for which
they were defeated by the people. Tbey
had better bo careful in this matter.
The " Ruckshot war " resulted from
the attempts of a minority faction (led
by tho present leader of Pennsylvania
Radicalism) to thwart the verdict of the
peoplo. The people meant what they
said and did on tho 8th inst., and they
don't intend to allow Radical politicians
to reviso or set aside their work.
