RAISE UP A NATIONAL PARTY,

der the advice of Franklin Pierce
'No North, no South, no East, no

partisans enough in the country to inaugu-
rate and finally carry out a movement like
this. Then, and not till then, shall I ex-
pect to see the dawning of that season of
prosperity which all parties promise us, but
which no party has brought US since the
war.
The party slogan at the North, with men
who would keep alive sectional animosity
for mean aud personal purposes is that the
Government must not be not allowed to
pass into the hands of Confederate Briga~
ders.
The shiboleth at the South is Democracy.
In its name we must all stand together to
keep the Government out of the hands of
the carpet-baggers and niggers.
The party slogan at the North is sounded
in no fear that Confederate Brigadiers are
about to seizo the Government and inaugu
rate another war, but to rally the clansmen
to the defense of the spolls of Office, which
party leaders consider their own special

NELLIE BIRD, Sec.

Treasurer McCauley, in retiring
from the office of Treasurer Of Elk
county, carries with him the good will
of all the citizens Of the county for the
able and impartial manner in which
he has discharged the important trus,
confided to his care. He found the
county heavily in debt when he en-.
tered the Treasurer's Office, and now,
as he gives place to new man, hands
over the books, which the annual set
tlement will prove, show the county
almost if not entirely out of debt.
And this favorable showing is due. in
n great measure, to the skill and un.
firing vigilance with which the funds
have been handled. May the new
Treasurer, as we think he will, follow
closely the path marked out by his
immediate successor.

The medical Board Of Ridxnar.

Owing to several years of hard times
and low wages, many families have
neglected TO pay their doctor bills, and
large share of the laborers are com
PEELED to take store pay or nothing,
leaving very small margin for their
physicians. There are but few busi-
ness firms that have taken any pains
I'd secure the pay for the physician
after treating his men or their families.
When we receive an order from a
laboring man and Present it to his
employer, he says, "Why, that man
owes me, instead of me owing him,
and I positively can't pay another
,nan's debts" Neither can we, nor
do we intend to doctor for nothing.
We certainly are under no more obli-
cations to visit the sick for nothing
than his neighbors are to put their
hands in their pockets and pay the bill.
Physicians do more for the sick and
Door than any other class of profess
sional men. and they do it willingly
a,d cheerfully, and always expect to
or it is their duty to do so, but we do
not expect to devote all our time and
medicine to nearly ohe-half our popu-
iation without remuneration not
while quinine is worth SIX dollars per
ounce. And now, while having no
interest in railroads, numbering bust
ness, coal mining and tanning compa-
nies, we do not expect nor will we do
heir business for nothing.
Let it he understood that the physi-
..ians of Ridgway have each purchased
black book, into which good many
names have already been inserted.
These books will be frequently con-
suited. that any who are in arrears
must first bring an order from their
employer before services will be rem
Tered. And let it also be understood,
therefore, that after January lst, 1879,
all those indebted to us that have not
paid up within the last year, or paid
part, or settled even by note, will not
and must not expect to receive any
benefits of our labor without Cash
down, for we resumed specie payment
and no trust from January l. 1879, or
an order from their employer. We
mean business.

Doctor Bordwell drove his team of
colts nearly across the ice on the pond
opposite Osterhout's tannery, on Mon
day afternoon. When within about
thirty feet of the opposite shore about
ten feet square Of ice gave way, with
out warning. and the colts at once sank
to the bottom, no part of them being
visible but their noses. VIM. MrChes-
ney was driving and the doctor was
a.king ahead, trying the ice as he
proceeded. When the team sank the
doctor at once seized them by the
brides. thus holding their heads above
water while the driver unhitched them
from the cutter and went to the tan
merry and got twelve or fifteen men to
assist in extricating the team. Many
of the men urged the necessity of cut
ting off the harness, but the doctor, with
his usually cool head, convinced them
that the harness was the very thing
needed to pull the colts out. After q
rope had been passed around the heck
of one horse, and he was safely landed
on the ice, the other in the meantime
standing on his tiptoe as it were, n
board was slipped Under him as he
made struggle to get out, and he was
also safely landed. The colts were at
once hitched up and driven to the
barn. and blanketed, and that same
night the doctor drove to Dog Hollow
to see Joshua Davidsoh's foot, they
seeming to be none the worse for their
icy bath. The ice was eight inches
thick at the place Of the break.
On Monday morning Doctor Bord-
we'll had engaged Judge Messenger to
take his heavy team. each horse weigh
/, ing from fifteen to sixteen hundred, to
60 across the ice at the point where
the mishap occurred and bring over
some wood from the opposite side.
After cutting holes in the ice to the
middle of the stream to test the thick
ness, the gentlemen concluded that il
would be too risky for so heavy team,
but thought lighter one would pass
and repass in safety. For the purpose
of testing the ice the doctor made the
trip in the afternoon, with the result
as stated. The wood has not yet been
hanloI
