The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1879-04-17

Last Monday, on information
made by VIM. Servey of South Brook
vile, thirteen persons, male and fe-
male were brought before Squire
Craig for hearing having been ar
ARRESTED for disturbing religious meet
ings at the Memorial Evangelical
church. For the past six months, as
was stated by one of the witnesses,
their conduct while in attendance at
church and prayer meeting was unbe-
coming and indecent, and not until
they were compelled to do so did the
members resort to law in order to
maintain good behavior. They were
put under 500 bail for their appear
ance at court, Two or three of the
same parties were arrested for the same
offense about three or four months
since, but were fortunate enough to
have the matter settled before the
Squire. His Honor, Judge jerks, in
justice to the people and having due
regard for the law, generally handles
this kind of offenders without gloves,
and if persons cannot behave them
selves while attending Divine worship,
he has the power to send them where
their ill-manners and indecent actions
harm no one.-Brookriie Democrat.

Many business men may have for
gotten the penalty affixed by law to
the selling of any barrel or package
containing or having contained petro-
leum oil without first removing the
| brand of the inspector. The fine in
such case is three hundred dollars for
each violation of the law. One-half
the fine goes to the informer. In order
to call the attention more directly to
the subject, it is stated that men in
other counties have made it a business
to purchase of merchants and dealers
the empty barrels that had contained
refined oil and each case where the
brand had not been removed they en-
ter suit for the recovery ofthe penalty.
1T is possible that some of our business
men in this county may be subjected
to much annoyance and have also to
pay the penalty unless they exercise
due care in removing the brand of the
inspector from each oil barrel they
have used. The penalty is large
enough to attract the attention of men
who will spare no effort to make it,
and there may be such in this county.
We take from the Pamphlet Laws of
1874, the section of the act then passed,
relating to the subject:
"SECTIoN II. Any person or persons
who shall sell or cause to be sold any
barrel or package or who shall refill
the same without first removing the
brand of the inspector shall be IL
able to a fine of three hundred
dollars for every barrel sold, or deliv-
cred or refilled; said fines shall be re-
coverable as other fines of like char
acter are recoverable by law; and one
half shall go to the informer, and one
half to the school district in which the
offence was committed.n

1t is popular sanitary error to think
that the more n man eats the fltter and
stronger he will become: to believe that
the more hours children study The faster
they learn; to conclude that if exercise is
good, tue more violent the more good is
done; to imagine that every hour taken
from sleep is an hour gained to act on the
presumption that the smallest room in the
house is large enough to sleep in; to i'm
agine that whatever remedy causes one to
EEL Immediately better is good fer the sys-
TEN. without regard to the ul'erior effects /:
TO eat without an appetite, or to continue
after it has been satisfied, merely to crafty
the taste; to eat hearty supper at the ex-
pense of whole night OF disturbed sleep
and weary waking in the morning. SAM

Saved by Cold Water.

A Windham county correspondent tell.
the remarkable story of man in Canter
bury who, sick with some kind Of fever
was pronounced by the local physician to
he beyond hope of recovery. A neighbor
Was called in TO watcn with the sick man :
and. as there seemed no possibility of the
patient living through the night. the watch
cr insisted that the family should all retire
early, promising to call them Immediately
if any unfavorable change occurred. As
soon as he was lett alone with the presum-
ably dying man the attendant commenced
feeding the patient with cold water, a table
spoonful at time, continuing the process
until an ordinary water-pailfnl had actually
been administered. The fever thus drown
ed out. the sick man fell asleep, awakening
late in the morning to call for fsod. He
was allowed to eat what he wanted, con-
tinued to improve, and in two or three
lays was up and about his business. The
case is well attested and there
seems TO be no doubt of its substantial ac-
.uracy as recorded above. The water used
Was obtained from well adjacent.
