The case of Curtin VS.. HOcum, for
a seat in Congress, will not go back to
the people ut the spring election, for
want OF time for notice, vote having
not been reached in the house as yet.
The majority of the Congressional
committee report that they consider
the election for Congressman null and
void. The minority making a report
to the effect that Mr.. YOcum shall
keep his seat. Whether Congress
adopts the report of the majority or not
is an open question, as one or two
Democrats voting in the negative to-
gether with the Republicans and
Greenbackers would be sufficient to
defeat its adoption. In case the mas
iority report is adopted then the mat
ter will likely be referred back to the
people at Il special election.

EDITOR OF ADVOCATE-Dedr Sir =.
Allow me through the columns of
your Influential paper and in the
name of the Catholic people of this
place to return our sincere thanks to
the citizens of Ridgway, irrespective of
creed, for their kind patronage and
liberal contribution to the fair held
during the last week for the benefit of
our church. Owing to the interest
taken by all it has been a grand sue
cess, netting about $lO5OOO, which
places $250.00 in its treasury after
paying all claims against church,
parsonage, and cemetery, 1t is GER
tainly very gratifying to see such
kind feelings of friendship and good
will manifested by all on such occa-
sion and hoping there shall be con-
tinuance of the same.

The First Watch.

y The first watch was about the size of
dessert plate. 1t had weights, al d
was used as ga pocket clock" The
earliest known use of the modern name
occurs in the record of 1862, which men
tions that Edward vi. had zone larum
Or watch of iron, with two plummets of
lead" The first watch may readily be
supposed to have been Of rude execu-
ton. The first great improvement-the
substitution Of springs for weights--was
in 1860. The earliest springs were not
coiled, but only straight pisces of steel.
Early watches had only one hand, and
being wound up twice a day, they could
not be expected to keep the time nearer
than fifteen or twenty minutes in twelve
hours. The dials were of silver or brass,
the cases had no crystals, but opensd at
the back and front, and were four or
Ave inches in diameter. A plain watch
cost more than 81, 800, and after one
was ordered it took year to make it.

YOU - and he gave the AK in his hand
an ominous shake.
"Hold on, Heavens sake and hear
what | have got to say, My name is
not Flickner 1t is James Kent I am
the Chancellor of the State Of New York.
That is my wife in bed there. Your
wife is up stairs in bed all right. There
is YOUR supper on the table, eat it for
gracious sake !" said Kent, in hurried,
excited manner.
"Chancellor OF the State Of New
York hey Sam Flickner, Chancellor
of the State Of New York Well, thercl
Chancellor. You used to chancel round
my wife, when she was q girl, and you
mean to keep it up, do YOU? Started in
well, tonight; but by Cd, III end it ;
or else you will end pe," said the man,
dropping his ak and advancing towards
Kent, with a fist that looked like q
sledge hammer.
At this critical moment the mans
wife put her head down the hatchway,
exclaiming:
Hold on, jim Don't make fool of
yourself I'm up here all straight and
right. What are you cackling about
Sam Flickner for you duncel The man
is all right, and that's his wife III bed
there--I guess. They have lost their
way at any tate, and I've given 'em our
bed. Eat your supper and come up to
bed here, and let 'em 60 to sleep. If |
hadn't been asleep myself all this fuss
wouldn't happened" .'.'u. .'r!
This address brought the fellow to his
senses. Well, all right, sorry I've
been so fast Ought to know wife aint
that kind of woman; but good gracious,
heavens and earth what could fellow
think to see man in his house after ten
o'clock at mic ght, in his shirt, and nothing
else, and his wife, as he thought, in bed,
and knowing all that time that Sam
Flickner was cussl" and there he burst
into a hoarse-laugh that resembled the
roar of bison.
The Chancellor went to bed. The man
ate his supper and retired quietly to his
bed up stairs, and soon all the inmates of
the house were wrapped in slumber. The
next morning the hostess prepared a
comfortable breakfast for her guests,
which was eaten with a relish. The ap-
pearance OF the Chancellor, though un-
assuming, was impressive under all cir
cumstances. The man, in defferential
manner, apologized to him for his rude
ness the night before. "Only think"
he said, 81 took you for Sam Flickner.
Well, things did look little rusty at
first, but its all right now" After re-
ceiviug careful directions as to their
route they took leave of their host and
hostess. Not, however, before Mrs.
Kent gave the latter substantial evi-
dence of her gratitude for the kind
treatment she had received at her
hands.
