THE ELECTIONS LAST WEEK.

The elections in four States, on Tuesday
of last week, resulted in placing the next
House of Representatives in the hands Of the
Democratic party, thoug the voting is de-
cidedly mixed. The Republicans regained
Ohio on the State ticket, and lost fewer Re-
publicans on the Congressional ticket than
had been predicted, and the Greenbackers
showed more strength than they had ever
done before, electing one or two Congressman.
The Democratic gains in Indiana were per-
haps more surprising than any other result
of the days voting. The Baltimore Sun
sums up the result of the election as follows
"The elections show net loss to the Re-
publicans of eleven members, of whom the
Democrats gain FIVE, the Greenbackers gain
FIVE, and in the third district of Vermont
there was failure to elect, though the
Greenback and Democratic candidate had a
large plurality, and will doubtless be chosen
at the special election. In each case the
Greenbackers were elected by fusion with
the Democrats. The Republicans lose three
Congressman in Indiana, three in Ohio,
two in Iowa, two in Maine, one in Vermont
and one in Oregon, while they only gain one
the representative from Colorado. After the
settlement of the contested cases, the Demo.
cratic majority in the last House was over
twenty, and from present appearances 1t is
likely that majority will be at least doubled
in the Forty sixth Congress"

Clearfleid County News.
From the Repuhllcan.


The steam tannery at Osecola
caught fire last Saturday night and
was burned to the ground. The bark
and other surrounding buildings were
saved by the citizen fire brigade.
Many persons think the fire was the
work of an incendiary. About thirty
men are thrown out of employment by
this accident. The loss cannot be much
less than $4,000.
We are informed by d son Of the
injured man, that on Wednesday, the
Goth inst, while Mr.. Thomas Beers, an
old and esteemed citizen of Bradford
township, and blacksmith by occu-
patton, was engaged at shoeing frac-
tious colt, he was thrown against a
large block of wood that was near and
fractured one of his ribs. Owing to
Mr.. Beers advanced age, this accident
will probably keep him from his work
for several months.
The Bells Gap Railroad survey
from Lloydsville, Cambria county, to
Coalport, on Clearfield creek, four
miles above Glen Hope, in this county,
has been completed, and over one
hundred men are now engaged at
grading the road. Twenty-Five hands
are engaged in the cut at Utahville
and the rest are scattered along the
entire line of the road. The engineer
has guaranteed every Bells Gaper a
ride to Coalport on the Fourth of July
next. A vein of coal, six feet in
thickness, extends along the whole
line of this road, from Lloy ydsville tc
Clearfield creek, and thence Northwest
across Chest, Bell, Burnside, Green
wood and Brady townships, to the Low
Grade railroad.
"A young man named Eleazel

of Mr.. Thomas Hewitt, of Hustor

will be hailed with joy by all who are
afflicted with loclJaw: EVERY little
while we read of some one who has
stuck rusty nail in his foot or some
other part of his person, and lockjaw
has resulted therefrom. All such
wounds can be healed without any
fatal consequences resulting therefrom.
The remedy is simple. 1t is only to
smoke such wound or bruise, that is
inflamed with burning wool or wooden

of wool will take the pain out Of the

On Monday, T. N. Hacket, while
filing circular saw in his mill, met
with an accident, which probably
made his hair stand on end. He was
standing over the saw, when boy
employed in the mill pulled the bell
cord and the engineer started the saw.
He escaped, however, with a severe
cut on one of his hands. 1t was indeed
narrow escape.-Cdnteron Press.
The above is correct except that there
was no engineer" in the mill at the
time and no boy to pull the "bell cord;'
there was no fire under the engine and
no steam in the boiler, and it would
have taken four mule team to start
the saw. t. N Hacket got his hand
slightly scratched, but that was caused
by his carelessness in striking it
against saw-tooth while engaged in
filing the saw. And this was his mar
row escape."-Emporium Indepen-

Burning Green Wood Greatly wasteful.

Water in passing into vapor absorbs
and hides neatly 1000 degrees Of Heat.
A cord of green wood produces just as
much heat as d cord of the slime wood
dry. In burning the dry wood we get
nearly all the Heat, but in burning the
same wood green, from one-haf to
three-fourths of the heat produced goes
off latent and useless in the evaporat-
ing sap or water. Chemistry shows
this, and why, very plainly: There
fore get the winters wood for fuel or
kindlings, and let it be seasoning, as
soon as possible, and put it Under cover
iii time to be dry when used. 1t will
of course season or dry much faster
when split fine. A s6lid foot Of green
elm wood weighs GO to SO lbs, of which
80 to So lbs. is sap or water. As ordi-
narily piled up, if we allow half of
cord to be lost in the spaces between
the sticks, we still have weight of
about two tons to the cord, of which
nearly one ton is water or sap. Such
wood affords very little useful heat ii
goes off in the ton of sap. The great
saving Of hauling 1t home dry is evil
dent-as We get the same amount of
real fuel for half the team work: Beech
wood looses one-eighth to one-fifth its
weight in drying; oak, one-quarter to
o-fifths.-Anacricdn Agric,tlturdlist
