Jacob McCauley celebrated the thirty-fifth anniversary of his marriage on May 22. He says the day this year is as near like the day on which he was married as it is possible for twolays to be. Thirty-five years is a long time, when we consider the changes that have taken place in Elk county.

When Mr. McCauley settled on Toby Hot-ton township was an almost unbroken wilderness He built a mill and manufactured the cream of the pine lumber, rejecting all logs that would not come up to the standard. These boards were rafted in Little Toby iu three platform pieces, ten courses deep, and even those shallow rafts were with great difficulty got out of the creek, the rocks and bars were so numerous. Great improvements have been made costing vast sums of money, until at this day a four platform sixteen courses deep can be run with any kind of a decent flood. This lumber was run to Pitthurgh and sold for from $0 to li a thousand feet board dollars for good and twelve dollars for the clearest kind of clear stuff.

Lumber that to day would bring $30a thousand. But lumber like that Is hard to get in the present depleted condition of our pine forests. Supplies were all hauled from Kittauuing, Bellefonte, Jamestown or Olean, distance to either of the places from seventy-five to eighty miles. These reminiscences of old times by our old settlers would make an interesting volume. We wish Mr.

McCauley many returns of his wedding day anniversary. And we are certain the people of Elk county who all know him will join heartily in our good wishes, i Census Enumerator. Following is the list of persons appointed as enumerators for KLK COUNTY. Renezette and Jay J. W.

The enumerators number .279, Death of Holroos Stephenson. Friday evening of ltwt week as Mrs. James Gardner, who lives on the Mllcshurg and Smelhport turnpike, about three miles northwest of this village, while out looking for her cow, suddenly came upon a dead man Calling assistance an investigation was made which satisfied the persons present that the remains were those of Holmes M. Stephenson, a young man thirty-two years of age, who had been away from home since the 20th of April. Esquire Mead wns notified the next day of the finding of the corpse and as acting Corner proceeded to empanel a jury.

The jury rendered a verdict in effect that the deceased came to his death by his own hand but whether accidentally or otherwise were unable to determine. Mr. Stephenson leit the house of his father, Isaac Stephenson, who lives not far from the place where the young man was found, stating that he was going to Brookston, and sup posing he had gone to that place no alarm was felt on account of his absence. When found the corse was in an advanced stage of decomposition, in fact was swarming with worms, the clothes only sufficing to hold the flesh and bones together. An attempt to remove the body resulted in severing the head from the body.

The head was taken to a stream hard by and washed disclosing the fact that a ball had entered the head just above an eye, and penetrating upward remaining lodged in the brain. A seven shot revolver was found close by the dead mau with the chambers empty; a watch on his person, as also lu cash. No rea-iouable cause can be shown to support the theory ol suicide, therefore, we dismiss that altogether and claim that the shooting was accidental. Of course no witness appears; the man is dead, and all we write is simply suppose. 1, which supposition may be as far from right as are boundaries of wrong.

The chamber of the revolver were all empty he had been shooting small animals or idly emptied his we.ip:tu for want of better pastime, until but one remained when he. with the muzzlo pointing In the direction of Ills head, endeavored to ascertain why the l.st cartridge hung fire, and with thumb and finger on the cylinder he revolved it until this last cartridge was reached, at which place the hammer went down, the swift messenger of death did Its sure work while the victim sank quietly to the ground, dying without a struggle. As evidence that death was instant a slight twig lay across the dead man's feet while other little twigs rested iu his the leaves and bushes by were scarcely displaced, the rusty revolver lay close by the body. The nun rose and declined, the gentle summer winds moved with quiet breath the fallen Jeave3, birds sang in the summer foliage, but quietly lay the unconscious sleeper, while jsun. winds, leaves and birds were no more for him, while mystery never more to be solved enveloped the breathless clay.

The revolver and watch were sold the deceased by T. D. Rhineswho fully indentifled theiri, thus leaving no doubt as to the indeutity of the deceased. The interment took place at the new cemetery on Saturday afternoon. Decoration Day will be celebrated on May 20th this year, the regular day May 30th, railing on" Sunday.

Chill W. Hazzard. Commander of the Department of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of the Republic has Issued instruction to the Comrades of the Grand Army and an appeal to the citizens of Pennylvania for a sacred observance of the day. Fit it is that all citizens should place a garland of flowers, watered with tears, on the graves of those brave defenders of our nation who now silently sleep that last sleep in the cemeteries of our broad Commonwealth. This day of all the days should be appropriately observed for around the memory of those dead heroes shall partriotism fondly linger and in rememberance oftheirsull'ering and death shall we hand down to the remotest generations the legend of their virtues that our children's children shall never forget that par-triotism and love of country is one of the surest corner stones of our free government.

Let the heroes rest in peace. Miiy their memory ne'er be forgot. The Reading Railroad. The biggest excitement in finuncial circles for some years was caused by the failure of the Reading Railroad Company to pay its debts last week. This used to be a profitable road.

But'lt went into the mining business and has been crippled every since, in 1871 the Coal aud Iron Company was organized and began to buy coal mines. On so large a scale has this been done that the value of its real property was estimated Nov. 0, 1879, at $39,690,799.45. But Its liabilities are $63,002,804.04, of which the Read ing Railroad holds over $47,000,000. The railroad company advanced the enormous sums needed for the pur chase of mining properties, and they iiave not been repaid, because the Coal and Iron company has been a failure.

Last year the Coal and Iron company made a net loss of $700,000 on iU operations, while $1,500,000 of interest which it could not pay accrued against it. This was its record from year to year. The Railroad had to carry it and did so until it had thus and otherwise piled up on its own ac count a floating debt of $7,000,000 besides a funded debt over liability on capital stock of nearly $35,000,000 and other Items making a total of over $120,000,000. i-Sonie fine Peeled Peaches at Morgester's, TLB. Ridgway Bucket Brigade Is the title of an organliatlon which does not exist.

Although, without any discipline at all this brigudo has In times past done good service at fires in this village. In view of the fact that so many towns have been laid In ashes within a few weeks the questions suggests themselves what protection has Ridgway against fire? Again are we not liable at any time to be burned out? Of course on all sides the answers to these questions are same: We have no protection. And are liuble at any time to suffer the fate of Rew City, Rixford, Milton, Couders-port, ou Edenburg. Then, are we as citizens doing our duty In supinely sitting by without at least an effort to do something to effect any sudden outbreak of fire? Water we have In abundance. But we have no convenience for getting the water to a fire, nether engine, hose, or flro plug.

Therefore we are at the mercy of the devouring element. A suggestion right here may not be out of order, It is thl: Let the citizens purchase 100 wooden buckets, and have them well painted Inside and out, then a ladder sufficiently long to reach the roof of the highest buildings. Perhaps Mr. R. V.

Kline would furnish land on Powell Kline's' alley on which to erect a building, sufficiently large to hold the buckets. The ladder could be hung on hooks attached to the side of Powell Kime's store. Let the bucket house be locked, of course In case of fire the lock could be easily broken even If the key wu3 not ut hand, thus giving free and ready access to our lnicket brigndeequipmeuts. A company might then be formed of young men who would style themselves the Ridgway Bucket Brigade. All the other men would be on hand to render assistance when necessary.

A few evenings' drill would enable our Brigade to open the bucket house form a double row of men from Main street, down Powell Kime's alley to Hyde's race, one line to puss down the empty buckets the other line to pass up the full ones, until In a few minutes a continuous stream of water would flow into' Main street. By using the ladder a stream could be conveyed to the roof of any building on the street. The expense would be a trifle 'while in case of Are a great amount of property might be saved by this simple means. At tires generally it is difficult to get buckets in time, and for want of an organized effort still more difficult to get lines formed to pass the water. Having the buckets handy would do away with the first object ion while the organization we suggest would make the other ea'sy.

Any one wishing to join this brigi.de may leave his name at The Advocate office, when if no one else acts in the matter we will endeaver to put our theory in practice.

Rockland N. who is probably, inspired by the approach of the 4th of Ju'y and its associations, write tosk how to make a flag, and adds that "it will be of Interest to all your readers that love the American Flag." In the first place the materal for a flag for service Is Bunting, a thin fabric of wool, made especially for the purpose. This is light and strong, and bears the constant whipping by the wind better than any other material. Flags for certain uses are made of silk, and if for merely decorative purpose may bo made of any desired stuff. The flag consists of two parts, the Field and the Union.

According to the the depth of a flag should be 10-19thsof its width. In ordinary usage, half as long will come near enough. The depth of a flag is called its head, and its length, from the staff outward, the fly. The Field consists of 13 stripes of red and white, standing for the 13 original States, beginning at the top with red. The Union Is In the upper corner next the staff.

It is seven stripes deep, and four tenths the length of the field; it Is blue, with white stars, one for each State of the Union. We do not know If there Is any regulations for the size of the stars. Formerly the small stars were grouped to form one large star on the blue field of the Union, but now the regulation is they shall be "in equidistant horizontal and vertical lines." The better way to fix upon the size for the stars Is to first make a paper pattern; cut the stars from pnper, and change the size until the proportion seems right. Recollect that star should always be five-pointed, with one point pointing upwards. We hope that these dimensions will help C.

ami many others to make handsome American Flag, and, "Long may it wave." Uraiit Will Stick. A Galena, Illinois special to the Chicago Tribune says the Galena Gazette who Is a personal friend of General Grant and knows whereof he asserts, will publish the following to-morrow: "An Item has been going the rounds of the press uscrting that Geo. W. Childs. of the Philadelphia Ledger, has stated that Gen.

Grant would order his name withdrawn from the contest at the national convention in Chicago. Neither Geo. W. Chillis nor any one else has authority for making sum an assertion. Gen.

Grunt's name lias never gone before the public as a candidate for the presidency by any word or act of his own and he most certainly will not order his name withdrawn. A very larce class of the American people have chosen to make him their candidate and if the Republican national convention at Chicago Kees fit to tender him the nomination will nut decline It. Tills we know to be fact and we publish it because it is well that the Republicans of the country should cease to hold the matter in doubt" Execution of a UiiiTalo Murderer. Buffalo, May 14. Carl Manke was hanged here this morning Tor the murder of John Altoff, at Elma, April 2.

1879. From the time of his sentence following his second conviction Manke has maintained a stolid indir ference to his fate, and with a beastly manner refused the attentions of a clergyman. Wednesday his wife re quested a parting interview, lie refused to see her. During tho lust few days Manke partially admitted his guilt; suid Altoff was good for nothing and his death a matter of no regret among his neighbors. He slept soundly last night and break'nstcd hearty.

He refused to be washed and dressed for execution, using violent oaths to the attendants, breaking the com 1 1 unci attempting to tear his clothing. He also refused to see his spir itual adviser. When pinioned and led to the Sheriff's office, where ser vices were held, he made no answer to the minister's prayer. "You don't know the holy spirit, you steer." He was asked where he wanted to be buried He replied: "It makes no difference to me." He continued stubborn to the close, and without a struggle life was extinct four and a half minutes after the trap fell. Another Oil Town Warned.
