To be Enlarged. We find the

considerable labor in re-setting the ad
vertisements, &o., and we shall therefore
issue no paper nest week. The nest

when we expect to present a sheet every
way worthy of public patronage,

. 5-CapU James H. Oillis, U. S. N., and
family have been visiting here with their
relitives for a few weeks paat .
Capt. Gillis was in co amand of the V.
6. Steamer Waterce, which was wrecked a
few months sinco in the earthquake upon
the Pacific coast. The vessel had been
condemned as unseaworthy, and could not
have been brought around Cape Horn.
The Captain endeavored to bring her to
New York overland, but only succeeded in
getting her about six hundred yards on
her land journey. This is the only thing
which we ever know the gallant Captain to
undertake but what he succeeded in. Af
ter the earthquake bo devoted his energies
lo relieving the sufferings of the people
who had been wounded, and left houseless
and homeless by the terrible catastrophe.
During thelato war Captain Gillis render
el most efficient service in the cause of the
country. At the bombardment of Mobile
Jiis ship was sunk by a Rebel torpedo, but
he fought her when nothing but her turret
remained above water. He ws then le
moved with his crew and placed in com
mand of a shore battery, when he got am
ple pay Tor the loss of his ship. He was
sent home as bearer of dispatches from his
Admiral, and was honored by being the
only officer mentioned by name in the dis
patches. He is an upright, honest and
brave Christian gentleman and officer, the
country has reason to be proud of him,
and we are glad that Ridgway is the birth
place of such a gallant hero. Long may he
be spared to do service for his country.
The fine residence of Horace Litte,
Esq., on " Powell avenue " is fast ap
proaching completion, and is a first class
residence in every respect. Mr. Little
moved his family into it last week, we
hope he will find his new home lasting,
pleasant and profitable.
J. V. Houk, Esq., heretofore one of
our most popular and flourishing mer-
chants has sold out his establishment
to Mr. Robert Gillis, who has gone into
possession of the store, and will con.
tiuue the business at tho old etand
The assortment is replenished and is to
be kept up. Mr. Gillis is a native of
Ridgway and has returned here after
some years absence to again make it his
borne. We hope he will bo successful
iu his new undertaking-
Our old merchants are all gcttin
rich and retiring from business. II. S.
Belknap ha3 aold out to Mr. Henry S.
Thayer who is well and favorably known
to our citizens. Mr. Thayer can be
found at the old etand under the
Uyda House and will keep business
running there to ita fullest capacity,
Give the young man his share of the
trade and we guarantee thai he will
deal honestly and fairly. Mr. Belknap
retirdi from business to assume his new
position as one of the commissioners of
this county to which he was elected by
a flattering majority at the last election.
He will give bis entire time, and talents
to the duties cf the office and we have
no doubt he will make n efficient and
valuable publio officer.
THE VOTE OF ELK COUNTY.
In 186S at the October election, there
was polled lor Boyle, Democratic candi
date for Auditor General 1054
Clynicr democratic candidate for
Governor 1SUG. 916
Democratic gaiu in two years 138
In 18G8 there was polled for
Hartranft Republican candidate for
Auditor General 508
For Geary Republican candidate
for Governor 18GU 376
-
Republican gain in two years 132
The democratic majority in 1866 was
540, in 1868, 546. The democratic
party have increased in votes, in two
years 138, and increased their majority
6 votes. Considering the principles they
auvocate, iney are doing wen, ana as-
they cannot bo much worse than they
now are, we do not apprehend they will
gain much in the coming two years.
The deorooraey have every thing their
own way here. True, they cannot all get
a county office, or a Post Office, but the
balance of the party are accomodated
by being placed upon tho " County
Committee, " Standing Committee,
(tuis last committee can now sit down
awhile, and rest,) and tho " working
committe "4 these committee's all
get put into tho county papers and this
is a party acknowledgement of who the
faithful are. Theu there are the
orators who do the work of the oaru
paign. To be sure some among them are
" Carpet baggers " but this really makes
no difference, and does not add a great
deal to the amount of truths they tell.
There has been much work done in the
county this fall by outside heavy men.
Hon. W. A. Wallace the gentleman
who has discovered a new system of
naturalization, and a young man by the
namo of Fury opened the campaign,
aided by Messrs. Jenks and Ilamblin at
the August court. The beginning was
good, and bid fair to bring forth
increase. Then we have had tho Rev.
J. K. llornish, from the oil settlements.
Hon. Heister Clynier, " Brick "
Punicroy and lion. U. It. liuckalew at
the great Centreville pole raising. At
St. Marye Hon. Charles H. Shriner,
and Hon. Julius Horn, he who told the
very chaste anecdotes in German,
cratic edifice, the mud used for the
chinking, consisted of our own local, and
talented orators too numerous to recite,
and all this combined talent with two
democratic papers in the county
during tho campaign, has really
increased the majority s-i-x which is
the majority of the democratic increased
rote ovei the Republican increased
vote. Tbe most efficient speaker we
know of, they have used, is our worthy
Prothonotary. He stands behind his
disk in the court room and makes a
short speech which he has learned by
heart, (as some of the stumpers have
theirs,) and every speech he makes,
counts one vote, and in two years past
he has made for the democratic party
in this county at least 150 votes, and
yet it all combined only gains six,
whereat there is muoh tribulation, and
it is at this juncture well enough to
pause,
and
uquire
" if there is not
something wrong with the machine J "
More had been promised, the draft has
been dishonored.
Let no Republican stay away from
the polls next Tuesday, when the last
vote is polled, and the last illegal voto
against freedom is challenged and kept
out it will be time to call the days work
done. If every Republican doe3 hjs
duty he need not be afraid to read the
election returns.
Mr. G. G. Messenger, is doing
a good improvement in the shape ef a
new building for a Drug Store 26x60
feet, at the corner of Mill and Main
streets, the building when completed
will, make a fine appearance and addition
to that part of the town.

A New Rkmiut im Consumptiox. A
Physician who had Consumption for sever,
al years, with frequent bleedings of the
lungs, cured himself with medicine un
known to the profession, when his ease ap
peared hopeless. He is the only physician
who has used it in his own person, or who
has any knowledge of its virtues ; and he
can ascribe the degree of health he now
enjoys to nothing but the use of his medi
cine ; and nothing but utter despair and
entire extinction of all hope of recovery,
together with a want of confidence in all
others induced him to baiard the exper
iment. To those suffering with any dis
ease of the lungs he proffers a treatment
he confidently believes will eradicate tho
hiscase. Price $1.50 per bottle, or $8 a
