Sad Accident.

Last Thursday afternoon, Elbridg
f. Terwiliger aged thirteen years and
three months, met with a sudden and
fearful death at A. Kaul's mill few
miles west of st. Mary's. He and his
father, j. w. Terwilliger, were engaged
making lath in a triple-saw lath mill,
and as the father turned to bind an
other bunch of lath the boy discovered
piece of wood between the saws, and
reached to get it when the loose sleeves
ofhis flannel shirt were caught by the
saws, and he was at once seized and
hurled, in the twinkling of an eye, to
an irresistible doom. He called to his
father to stop the machine, who did so
only in time to catch the lacerated
form of his son, and carry him few
steps to the engine room, where the
boy looked up in his fathers face, and
smiled, as though to say, "am to
blame" and expired. The boy was
nearly cut in two, one arm was en-
tirely severed, producing, as we have
said, almost instant death.

To the School Directors of Elk County.

Gentlemen the time for making
your annual report is nearly at hand
and deem it highly proper that l
should call your attention to the fact
and urge you to attend well to the
matter. 1t is not my prescribed duty
to bring this matter before you but l
am very anxious that our school dis
tricts may all receive the State appro-
priatlons which are apportioned them.
A considerable sum of money has
nearly every year, for a long time, been
withheld from this county by the
State Superintendent because of the
negligence of directors. Highland
which had not reported for many
years was urged into it last year and
an appropriation obtained. Look on
page 325 in the report of 1874 and you
will find that $337,99, were withheld
for want of reports. In the report for
1873 on page $50 it is stated that $500
were withheld and in 1872 page 369 Of
report it is given that $92, ,39, were with
held. The names of the districts are
there given on the pages mentioned
and their respective losses opposite.
If / can, save such moneys toSthe
county for the benefit of our schools
by changing on the tracks" of the di-
rectors / am going to do it. Last year
not cent was lost and the reports
were in early and was it not because
the matter was urged again and again ?
1t is, hoped and earnestly desired, that
the directors may have pride in re-
gard to the reports, make them out
correctly, aOhich is seldom done, and
forward them to me the first Monday
in June. See that the accounts are
balanced and all the questions
answered and the blanks all filled.
Nearly every report was last year in
correct and had to be returned for cor
rection. Send your report in all righ'
on the first Monday in June and nc
doubt by the next Monday you will
have your money.
Respectfully, &C..

NEW MUSIC.

We have just received from the
Publisher, copy of new Temper
ance Song and Chorus by the popular
and favorite author Jas. G. Clark, en-
titled Nowhere to go.'n
This is the latest as it is one of the
best of Mr.. Clark's popular songs-and
comes most opportune just now when
there is such an interest in the tenn
perance cause. Mr.. Clark's produc-
tions including "When the mists
have rolled away" and the "Two Viii
lagos" are known and sung through
out the land, their beautiful melodies,
choice poetry, and rare adaptation OF
music to the words rendering them
universal favorites. We append the
opening stanza of nowhere to go:"
Homeless tonight and with no one to pity
Weary of living and dying with woe;
Homeless tonight in the heart of the city
Frerzing and starving yet nowhere to go

Gen. Harrison Aliens Troubles.

The Erie Dispatch says: General
Allen has abandoned his fine resi-
dence near Warren, to his wife, and
has announced that he will stop at no
sacrifice to break the bonds between
himself and his faithless partner. 1t
was supposed that the case would be
settled in the courts but on Wednes-
day afternoon the general heard that
his wife was entertaining stranger at
his house and, securing the aid of sew
eral policemen, he proceeded to arrest
the disturber of his domestic peace.
Mrs. Allen held the fort in front with
a pistol while her companion escaped
from the rear and drove offhotly pur-
sued by the general and the police,
who were fired upon by the fugitive,
and who returned the shots with great
liberality. No harm was done by the
bombardment and the man escaped to
the woods. The following particulars
are given in special to the Titusville
Herald:
Warren, Pa, May 17.-Between
four and five o'clock yesterday after
noon the chief of police of this place,
with General Harrison Allen, at
tempted to arrest George Watson, of
Titusville, for indecent conduct with
the generals wife. Mrs. Allen re-
sisted any entrance to General Aliens
house, and when the door was forced
she discharged revolver without any
damage, but SO close as to blow the
powder into the face of the policeman
Watson, who had been surprised in
the house, about this time made his
escape through window and jumped
intoa buggy standing in convenient
location. The general and the officer
jumped into another carriage and gave
pursuit. Watson fred two shots from
his buggy, when the officers returned
the fire, keeping up regular fusilade
for nearly two miles. The horses were
forced to their utmost speed, and
rather than be captured Watson
jumped from his buggy and ran into
the woods. Watson returned to Gen,
eral Aliens house at night and sem
word to the officers that he did not in
tend to run away; would be dowr
town; wanted no nonsence; the frs
man to interfere would get hurt.
