"A Ridgway Ramble," from the
~ Erie Dispatch, we reprint in another
column. The article i'm question il q
very tiattering one to the pride of the
citizens of our beautiful village, Sew
eral inaccuracies we note, ,however;and
will correct: Ridgway is llS. miles
from Erie and not 1913; Jerome Powell
was the first publisher of THE ADvo-
CATE, but the paper was founded by an
association of Ridgway citizens in the
year 1850. Mr.. Powell conducted the
paper for about five years, since which
time he has been engaged in other
business. We know of no hills west
of town where one could see 1.-THE gen.
tie Clarion rolling quietly 500 feet be-
iOw." A little less than half 500
would be the extent of the looldown.
The Catholic picnic at Centreville
on July 9th was decided success fl
nancially netting over 500. The rain
caused the picnicers to move from
Green's grove where extensive ar
rangements had been made for the ac-
commodation of the people, to the
new blacksmith shop of John Sponler,
where all were entertained in a first
class manner. The trustees of st.
Boniface's church, of Centreville, de-
sire us to thank all the people who so
kindly turned out to aid them in this
enterprise, and to Company H and
the Silver Cornet Band of Ridgway,
also to Rev. II. ]. Clark to whom is
due much of the credit for the great
success of this picnic.
July Sd, 4th, and 5th passed off
quietly in this village. On Saturday,
Sd, great number of people were in
town and many of them had swal-
lowed too much "lubricator," during
the afternoon disgraceful fight oc-
Cured in the streets. While man
has an undoubted right to drink
as much as he can carry, at the
same time we dispute his right to
swear and swagger on the street, or to
engage i'm a disgraceful fight. More
shame is it when men who lay claim
to respectabilIty stand by and allow a
fight to proceed. The ever Glorious
Fourth came on Sunday, consequently
no celebrating could be INDUCED in.
Early on the morning of July 5th the
gudgeon spoke forth in thunder tones,
waking the peaceable inhabitants of
our quiet town from their morning
slumber. Besides this and the occas-
ional noise of a fire cracker, and the
inevitable number of reeling men, no
other exercise was INDUCED in. During
greater part of the forenoon and part
OF the afternoon drizzling rain con-
tinued much to theannoyance of those
versions who desired to walk or ride
ut. Co. II had intended to parade at
~ O'Clock but the rain interfered aud
