A GOOD supply of water was found in
the well for the priests house on the
side hill, at a depth of twenty-three
feet.
GENE borrowed our well rooster,
last week, to crow over Democratic
victories. After the November cleo
ton we will lend him our sick one.
A COW belonging to Dave Null
queen, accidentally fell down an en-
bankment a distance of eight or ten
feet on the state road the other day
and was seriously injured.
Excellent counterfeits of the new
silver dimes have been well circulated
throughout the country, and they
may easily be detected by their tim
like appearance and sharp jingle.
WE publish the Grant of Water
Privilege" from John j. Ridgway to
the Commissioners of Elk County.
We believe this to be correct copy of
the original without the acknowledge
ment, which we did not consider neces-
sary to publish.
LAST Friday morning, the Brock
wayville stage horses became fright
ened at the cars, while standing at the
depot, and running away upset, and
completely demolished, the hack. The
horses escaped with a few slight
scratches. The driver was in the de-
pot when the horses started.
LAST Monday the baggage room of
the Hyde House was entered in broad
daylight, and about $40 worth of cigars
taken. A couple of boys were on the
street trying to sell cigars, and it is sup
posed they were the thieves; no arrests
were made, although we think arrest
ing the young culprits would be wise
course to pursue.
THE water supply on Main street
failed few days ago, owing to leak in
the old logs somewhere. Henry Wen
sci and Will Derby have been doing
considerable digging in the court
square to find the leaking place, but
up to present writing the penstocll at
Derby's remains dry. Later-The
leaks have been found and the supply
of water is larger than before.
WE are asked by Geo. r. Dixon the
County Superintendent to say that on
Saturday the 10Th inst a teachers ex-
animation will be held at Wilcox, and
on Saturday 26th, one will be held at
Ridgway. These examinations will
be held in the school buildings of the
respective places and will begin
promptly at 8 a. NJ. Let there be a
general attendance of pupils, teachers,
directors and others.
AN IMPOSITION UPON TRAVELLERS
Keeping the Depot locked at the time
for the early train thus compelling
passengers waiting for the train to
stand out in the fog for an hour or
two, if the train happens to be that
much late as it often is. A company
having any regard to the comfort of
its patrons would reform such abuses,
instead of driving to some other road
all who have the opportunity of
choice.
DIR. c. r EARLEY, will have a
four-inch iron pipe laid from a spring,
on Gallagher's run, above Rough and
Ready, to his property at the corner of
Main and Depot streets. The length
of the iron pipe is more than three
thousand feet We suggested the idea
of supplying Ridgway with water from
this source some time ago in the AD-
voCATE, and we hope the citizens will
yet take hold of the matter, before it is
too late, or before the fire fiend has
laid the business portion of our town
