Almost every store in the country
has on its counter, a show case of DR..
Days medicines. BY a glance at the
display, it will be seen that direct act
ing remedies are offered for many every
day complaints, and as they nrr all the
rns"its ut study and experience, their
worth may be relied Oh.
DR.. Days Liver Pills are taken in a
different way from any other pill, and
only trial is needed to prove their
great superiority in all cases Of liver
complaint and constipation.
DR. Days Cold Medicine has great
power over colds and sore throat, and
persons subject to quinsy need not
have their tonsils break if they take
this remedy in time.
The show case contains number OF
others, but special attention is called to
DR.. Days Cure for Piles, as having a
greater curative influence over the
parts implicated, than any other nledi-
cine known.

DIR. ]. Il. Waid.

The above named gentleman, In
tends settling in Ridgway soon. The
following from the Sparta,isburg
Weekly Viidger explains itself:
Many of our readers will no doubt
learn with as much surprise as we did
Of the intended departure from our
town OF one who Is so widely known,
so we'll situated and SO highly re-
spected of one who Is seeming 50
necessary factor of our towns life
and society as DIR. J. T. Waid.
DR.. Waid sold in February last, his
practice to DIR. p. p. Fisher, our
young doctor who bids fair to rise
rapidly in his profession, and has
made arrangements to accept an offer
in Ridgway. We learn too that this
is not the only pace from which ad-
vantageous offers have been made
him.
Ridgway is lively town of some
over 1900 Inhabitants and is the
county seat of Elk County. Besides
the Philadelphla q Erie II. H., two
new railroads are now building that
run through the place. 1t is a lively
growing place and affords attractions
of wealth, society, and large natural
resources with prospect of rapid
growth.
DR.. Waid ranks among the first in
his profession in this county. He has
one of the finest libraries, medical and
literary In this section. He takes
with him besides ability in his profes-
sion, the qualities of u gentleman and
scholar.
His large practice in this vicinity
has been quite lucrative as we'll as
satisfactory, and this removal will he
cessitate the closing of accounts oI
years standing; so that it is not certain
that he will leave before autumn.

Sand For Fine Glassware.



HOW IT is PREPARED FOR USE.
Pennsylvania Lotter to New York Tribune.
The sand from which the finest
glassware. crown glass. French plate
and the like, is made, is seldom found
in large deposits, in accessible places
and in strata free from impurities.
Quart in California, which yields So
OF gold to the ton, is called in miners
language, "pay-rock," and yet the
sand itself, out of which the French
plate glass is made. is worth S5 ton
delivered in the city market. a vein
of sand-glass was discovered over ten
years ago near McVeytown, Miffiin
county, Pa, and is now being eXten-
sively worked. The sand-rocll occurs,
for the most part, in irregular forma-
| ton, with an occasional approach
| toward a stratified condition. The
rock is hard and dry, yielding with
difficulty to the drill, except where
water peuetrates it, forming crevices.
These soft veins, made by the water
much dreaded by the miners. A mass
of this soft rock may fail at any mo-
ment and crush or bury the helpless
workman. An old miner said to the
Tribune correspondent: 1--WE hain't
had no accidents since I've been yer.
That is, there hain't nobody been
killed. One fellow sot down nearder
blast than was safe, and got raised
up to the top of the mines and got the
bark peeled off'n his face, and piece
cut out'n his ear, but that was all.
Onst when l was peckin' round the
corner to see If the fuse was burniu'
the thing went off and bunged my eyes
with giant powder. Do ye see them
black specks?' and the miner pointed
to dark circle above his eyes, the
memento of his imprudence.
The sand rock is mined by what is
called drifting" or excavatfng in a
horizontal direction. The drift is
made sixteen feet high and twenty
feet wide, and extends about 500 feet
in different directions from the mouth
of the mine. With force of sixty
meu only about fifty feet of rock can
be eXcavated in a year. An analysis
of the sand shows almost pure silica
with slight impurities of coboll, shale
and slate. Under the microscope
beautiful crystals in the sand are seen.
The rock In the mine is OF
II marble white color, with few tints
of yellow and green. The air in the
drift is cold and damp, and is kept
pure by ventilat0rs running up to the
top of the ground. A temperature of
about 400 prevails in the mine winter
and summer.
A novelty of the McVeytowu sand
works is in the way which the water
power is communicated to the machi-
merry in the mine. Steam is used fo r
drying ONLY, and the water of the
Pennsylvania canal, which is over
one thousand feet from the works, is
used for driving the machinery by a
system of wire cables and band wheels
The wheel are set up in three small
towers, thus preventing too much
slack in the wire cables. Two turbine
water wheels are used at the canal.
The sand shipped from this mine
amount to about $4,000 tons a year.
Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Ohio cities
are the principal market.
