| A WARNING TO THIEVES Thieves who
break in and steal the bacon and corn meal
| of the hard-working man, must remember
that if they should happen to get hold
of some C fixed meat F" or poisoned meal,
| and from the use thereof sicken and die,
they receive merited punishment. We have
been assured, that in certain localities, where
| smoke-houses and dairies have been broken
| open and robbed, such an arrangement
| has been entered into, and we may expect
soon to hear of sudden and extraordinary
deaths.
The experiment is surely dangerous one,
as the innocent child and unsuspecting wife
are liable to become the victims as well as
the thief Therefore as " honesty is the best
policy" and as labor will bring its reward"
would it not be better for all men to work,
and enjoy, not only their daily meals, but a
good consciencel

Morris Bernh ardt,
Spectacle and Optical Manufacturer.
THE ADVANTAGES Of these spectacles over all
others are:
1. They can be worn with perfect ease
for any length OF time at one sitting, giving as
tonishing cearness of vision, by candle or any
other artificial light, comfort to the spectacle
wearer hitherto unknown.
2. How to select glasses. 1t requires
professional guidance, even men good article
is offered. DR.. Bernhardt not only has the best
Glasses that can be found in the market, but
carefully examines the eyes OF his patients, and
gives indispensable advice as to the proper Sc
lection OF them. l.ss...-
3. When the eyes ache or pain through
the action OF bright light, such as is reflected
from the snow, sunny weather, white paper, and
in reading, writing or sewing, or vivid colored
bodies; these lenses By softening the rays, ef-
feet most agreeable sensation and give great
relief.
4. These Spectacles are scientifically
adjusted to every case of detective sight with
unerring accuracy, whether arising from age,
strain, Overwork, or premature decay, by Dr.
Bernhardt, on new and exact principle, entire
ly his own, which has seldom failed to be cor
rect.
De A1teT several years VI puDiiC pIdCs
tIce, adjusting spectacles to patients under
every aspect of detective vision, as well as ex-
periencei n an extensive, long establihed busi-
ness in his Optical Stores, both here and in Eu-
rope, DR.. Bernhardt considers it q sufficient
guarantee OF his ability to supply such glasses
as are best calculated for the assistance of i'm
perfect sight.
6. M. Bernhardt, to signalize himself
from the host of pretenders in his profession
with pride submits forinspection, copies of test
imonials he has received from medical gentle
men of the most unquestionable respectability
and talent in America; also number OF certii-
Gates from well known gentlemen of distinction
who have used his spectacles-the originals of
all which he will be happy TO show to those who

Hydraulic Cement.-T. C. Parker Sons,
of the Belmont Cement Works, are turning out
forty barrels of Cement per day. This is said to
be the best Hydraulic Cement in the market
During the past season the Messrs. Parker fur
nished the cement for the Bellaire bridge
They propose this winter to enlarge the capaci-
ity of the works to supply the increased de-
mand.
Cooperage.-With two large Touring mills, a
large number of Sorghum mills, the cement
works, and a large number of produce shippers
to supply with barrels, kegs, tubs, etc, the
GAINESVILLE cooper finds it impossible TO meet
the demand. A cooper with some capital could
reap a rich harvest here.
County Seat-It is very probable that two
thirds of the voters of Warren Township would
vote for the removal of the seat of justice to
Bellaire, if no expense was thereby incurred.
7 On the eRampage.-Severalc citizens who are
addicted to the ardent, were on a high old
drunk Saturday night and Sunday. At one
time Saturday evening there was strong prob
ability of serious row but it eased off without
very serious results. Unless we have more
rigorous administration of justice it will not be
safe for peaceable citizen to go home after
dark unarmed. q.
