TIE BEAUTIES OF CHEMICAL SCIENCE. -
The field of the chemist is ample, and re-
veals new beauties as he explores. With
what delight do we behold his operations,
but we do not always appreciate his efforts
to benefit the race 1t is often in the more
simple articles of home consumption that he
achieves his grandest triumphs. The pro-
duction of DcLand & Co.'S Chemical Sale
ratus was blessing to mankind that cannot
be measured by money. The chemist will
not have the full measure of his fame till
this production is the only saleratus used.

At the annual school meeting held at North

WHAT DOES IT MEAN.-Last Monday a
couple of boys found two bolts of muslin
buried near the foot of the hill south of
town. The goods were so badly damaged
as to be worthless. They have doubtless
been stolen and secreted where found.

PEAcE.-The people are tired of war it
has almost killed the country; we want
peace. We would take it on the best terms
we can get it. If those terms are reunion,
we shall have made an excellent bargain.
If separation, is it not better than to con-
tinue war that exhausts the blood and
treasure of the country and must end in
Aisubion

STRAws.-It is said, "straws shows which
way the winds blow" We had some sig
nifcant political straws in this township last
Saturday. Several gentlemen who have
been acting in opposition to the Democracy
came up and voted at the nomination and
pledged themselves to act in future with
us. From our knowledge of the men we
are confident they purpose fulfilling their
pledge. There are many men in Holmes
county who will vote differently next fall
from what they have been accustomed to do

BRowN's BRONCHIAL TRoCIIEs are offer
ed with the fullest confidence in their eff
cacy; they have been thoroughly tested, and
maintain the good reputation they have
justly acquired. For Military officers and
those who often over-tax the voice, they are
useful in relieving an Irritsted Throat, and
will render articulation easy. To the soldier
exposed to sudden changes in the weather
they will give prompt relief in Coughs and
Colds, and can be carried in the pocket to
be taken as occasion requires

INTENTION SOLDIERS
AND FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS,

We call attention of all having relations or
friends in the army to the fact that Hoofand's
German Bitters will cure nine-tenths Of the dis
eases induced by exposures and privations incl
dent to camp life. In the lists published almost
daily in the newspapers on the arrival of the
ton are suffering from debility. Every case OF
that kind can be readily cured by Roohand S
German BitterS. Diseases resulting from disor-
ders OF the digestive organs are speedily remov.
ed. We have no hesitation in stating that if
these Bitters were freely used among our sol
diers hundreds of lives might be saved that 9TH
erwise would be lost.
We call peticular attention to the following
remarkable and well authenticated cure of one
of the nations heroes, whose life to use his own
language "has been saved by the Bitters."
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22d, 1868.
NESTS JONES d EvANs.-Well, Gentlemen,
your Hoofiands German Bitters has saved my
life. There is no mistake in this, it is vouched
for by numbers OF my comrades some of whose
zant of all the circumst tances of my case. am
and have been for the last four years a member
of Sherman's celebrated battery and under the
immediate command of Captain r. B. Ayere.-
Through the exposure attendant upon my ardu-
Gus duties was attacked in November last with
two days in the hospital. This was followed by
great debility heightened by an attack ofdysen-
terry. I was then removed from the White
house and sent TO this city on board the steamer
State of Maine from which landed on the 2sth
of June. Since that time have been about as
low as any one could be and still retain a spark
of vitality. For a week or more was scarcely
able to swallow anything and if did force a
morcel down II was lmmedlately thrown up
again.
l could not even keep glass of water on my
stomach Life could not last under these cir
cumstances, and accordingly the physicians who
had been working faithfully, though unsuccess-
fully to rescue me from the grasp OF the dread
Archer, frankly told me they could do no more
/ for me and advised Inc to see clergyman and
to make such disposition of my limited funds
as best suited me. An acquaintance who visit
ed me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Steinborn.
of sixth below Arch street, advised me a for
lorn hope to try your Bitters, and kindly pro-
cured bottle. From the time commenced to
take them the gloomy shadow of death receded
and am now, thank God for it, getting better.
Though l have taken but two bottles, have
gained ten pounds. and feel sanguine of being
permitted to rejoin my wife and daughter from
whom have heard nothing for eighteen mon tbs;
for gentlemen, am loyal Virgfnian from the
vicinity of Front Royal. To your ipNaluable
Bitters owe the certainty of life which has ta-
ken the place of vague fears-to your Bitters
will owe the glorious privilege of again clasp
ing to my BOSOM those who are dearest to me
| in life.

A GUSHING IDEA--A loving couple, in
Millersburg, few evenings since, having
been out for moonlight promenade up and
down the shaded streets of which this vii
lage aboundeth, became weary of walking
and sat down on the steps of the Methodist
Church, and in talking over their plans and
prospects for the future, the loving swain
through some mismanagement happened to
get his arm around the sylph-like form of
his afectionate Dulcinea, and their lips
coming in violent contact caused a noise
somewhat resembling the explosion of a
fre.cracker, which awakened our Devil, "
who was taking quiet snooze on the grass
in the soft moonlight, and gazing dreamily
around he espied the affectionate couple,
and the loving position which they were in,
and withal, being "Devil" Of discern
ment, at once saw what was ''the matter, |"
came quickly to our sanctum, and related
the circumstance and in melo dramatic style,
wound up the affecting story thus: "And
she, leaning on his manly bosom, giving up
her whole soul to him, was so happy in
thus spelling herself that she was insensi.
bic to all surroundings, except those of her
form, her lovers arms, and especially
to the presence Of your informant, the
Devil" SO glad to be thus robbed, offer
ing him the rich milk of love in full I'D
der Of trust, and lowing for him to take it. I"
Beware! girls, for our Devil has sharp
eyes, and a sharper tongue.

A RIsE.-ToM RAIFF, County Treasurer,
is good accountant, but, like all men will
sometimes make mistakes, and in figuring
up last Friday he had it that ''S times S'are

Wrought Iron RifIed Guns.


Tha Government has sent several ez-
perieneed officers of the army to test The
Ames wrought iron gun at Bridgeport,
Connecticut. The testrequifesOne thou
sand shots to be fired from the same
gun. Thus far; one hundred shots have
been fred. This test shows that, with
twenty pounds Of powder aud fifteen de-
grees elevation, the gun throws a shot
four miles. 1t yet remains to try the
fun charge Of twenty-five p,unds, whieh.
With a grea er elevation, may be expeated
to realize the seven miles range attained
IN the private trial male a few weeks
ago. These guns are moulded solid
throughout. The section around the
bore IS moulded first and by each subse-
quent heat the moulds are extended out
ward. Each section is composed of three
rings; the first has.a diameter of ten in-
ches, with hole in the center. This
ring is accurately turned to fit inside of
second, which is also turned to ct the
third and outsi !e ring, each course being
six inches thick. This furnishes dot only
purity In the metal, but the most perfect
solidity throughout the entie mass. The
hole at the center permits the impurities
of the metal to be worked out from the
inner rim S, while being heated and ham
mered, while the scales which may aceu-
mulate on the outer rings are permitted
to fall outward as the weld extends to
ward the circumference.
