EFFINGER, WHITE 8 LATTA,

Nagain calling the attention Of the public to their
1 Fall Advertisements, leg leave TO remark that
nearly four years ago they commenced business
with the determination to be governed by the prin-
ciple of LARGE SALES and SMALL PROFITS, That we
have strictly adhered to it, is shown by our great
success, and the fact that our sales this year amount
to three times as much as they did the first, and to
the great aud iacreasing popularity Of our house,
we are not only selling double tho amount of goods
of any other establishment, but our prices are far
lowerthsn they with their limited trade can posi-
bly, afford TO offer them
The attention of all classes of MechGzics is re-
s~pectfully invited. Our present business facilities
and a, arrangements with MaaqJdcturers and Importers,

ent trades at the forrest possible rates. We are Ger.
tain that all the BlGckSmiths, Carpenters, Buggy
Makers and SaddlerS in the county, If they con-
suit their own interest, will become our customers.
A close examination OF our LARGE STOCK AND Low
PRICES before purchasing elsel here, will save them
a handsome per cent. And they will find that by
purchasing their Hardware entirely from us, that
they will do as well as they possibly could have
done in Cincinnati or any other market in Ohio

THE KNUD INVERSION SToRY.--Mr. Els
ton, the foreman o fthe jury ofinquest, whose
report is taken as the evidence Of the alleg-
ed fraud, has published a statement in the
Democratic Press Of Chicago, in which he
says that at the time the inquest was held
there was not before the Jury such positive
evidence Of the Intentional murder of the
boy as would justify them in declaring their
unqualified belief that such was the fact
though he had no doubt of 1t, and that
therefore, the report was drawn in as milo
terms as possible. He,however, now states
that such evidence has come to his knowl
edge as strongly confirms his previous belief
and fully j~ustifies him in giving the public
the assurance that Knud was actually muir
dered, because he mould not steal.

CHAIN PUMP

vi w slltI CitNhNDIs
r Nhe undersigned in offering to the citizens Of Lam
l. caster and its vicinity this valuable mode ofrais-
ing water from cisterns and wells. and feels confident
he can render satisfaction to all reasonable persons
wanting the article; having made some valuable i'm
provements in the Curb, Reel, Roller, in turning the
edge tho buttons on the chain, which adds materi
ally to its durability and ease in raising the water;
they are applicable to %cisterns and wells of ordinary
depths and when properly put up, are less liable to
get out OF repair than any other method of drawing
water. Some ofthe
Important Advantages
orthe above principle, consist in keeping the WATER
PURE by agi alton caused by the revolution of the
chain when in motion, and the reaction Of the water
in falling fl ON tho tube when the reel is stopped, in
getting the water cold and pure when drawn, in dis
pensing with the valves, which are liable TO get out
~ofrepair in the ordinary pump, and In not freezing in
winter. which also prevents the tube from c~rahing;
they raise tho water as easy ifhot easier than any
other mechanical principle
The above article is WARRANTED tn be Of good
materials aud well put up or they will be removed
and no pay or ~recompense asked for the trouble.

A Revolving DEED. "A woman, says the
DAYTON Journal, came on the cars at Cincin-
natl, on Wednesday morning, whose condi-
ton was so evident, TO Conductor briggs,
that seeing her distress he offered to stop the
train at several stations, long enough to see
her comfortably accommodated, aud send
for n physician, She declined his offer
and seeing her trouble increasing, no sug-
gested that she should retire to the saloon
and leave the door partly open, so that she
could call him at any time as he was passing
through the cars, and he would stop the
trim, and have her suitably provided for
She entered the saloon, and hearing nothing
from her for nearly an hour, he opened the
door and beheld the most unmistakable evil
dence that she had become q mother, but he
did not zee the infant. He hastily with
drew, and the train soon after reached Day
ton, when the woman, without assistance,
and without a child, left the car, and enter
cd the. Sandusky train, as she said, to go to
Enon. II Is supposed that she killed her
child, and threw the body out Of the cur.
The whole affair is most horrible and re-
voting In its details. The humane endea'
vors Of Conductor briggs, in behalf of the
unfortunate, If not guilty woman, are wor'
thy of oil praise. .
