EO- The following are some of the reasons why
farmers prefer the Wood Mower:
lst 1t is constructed on correct mechanical
principles, every principle about it having been
tested by actual use.
ID. 1t is made of the very best material, all the
timber being thoroughly seasoned, and all matals
selected with reference to their strength and
durability.
81. 1t is made by company who have in their
employ the best mechanical talent that capital
can procure, and under the immediate supervi-
sion of its inventor, Walter A. Wood, whose re-
putation a mechanic and manufacturer none
will question.
4th. 1t has been in being long enough SC that
details of its manufacture are quite perfected for
no mower can be perfect when first made how
ever correct the principles upon which lt is con-
sructed, as nothing short of actual use can de-
monstrate where the weak points are, so they
can be strengthened for the future,
9TH. The watchword of the Walter A. Wood
Moving and Reaping Co., is "Progress"-steady
progress in IMPROVEMENT in machines and
in their construction.
9Th That while its inventor adds all real i'm
lrovements he rejects many of the so-called
ones, which although they may possess some no
vel features, have nothing in reality of utility
about them, and their addition to a mower
makes 1t a complicated mass OF mechanical no.
tons instead of what i. should be, simple, eff
Gent and durable grass cutter.
18th. The Walter A. Wood Moving & Reaping
Co., being organized for long term of years,
and employing permanently over one million of
dollars capital, is sufficient guarantee that
those purchasing the Wood Mower will be al
ways supplied with extra parts for repairs-the
advantage of which any farmer can appreciate.
Sth. The extra parts are kept by local agents
n all convenient localities.

Buffalo boy. Up to the time that he was
fifteen years of age he attended school

afterwards attending the Central During
his younger days he was ever noted for
his daring and foolhardy feats He came
up without the slightest idea of fear, and
that sensation is utterly foreign to him
now. When about sixteen he saw Blondin
cross the river at the Falls The sight
aroused all his daring athletic blood,
and he resolved to emulate the great
funambulist. Coming home here he i'm
mediately commenced practice, and in
1862 made his debut as rope-walker at
meadvtlie, Pa, where he successfully
crossed street at height of about FORTY
feet. Next we find him travelling as a
professional through northeast Pennsyl.
Sania and Ohio. His highest ascension
Gas one hundred and thirty-five feet made
across street at Ravina, Ohio. In the
Fall OF 1868 he came home and enlisted
in the Second New York Mounted Rifles

The CALCIUM LIGHT. This wonderful
invention is acquiring a reputation fal
above any other light now in use on ac
count Of its great superiority in every re
spect. Its brilliancy is equal to that Of
twenty-five hundred candles combined
Now that night picnics have become
fashionable, this light may be considered
a blessing to those who attend them.
Heretofore Except on few occasions)
the grounds have been lighted up by
lamps, which were but little better than
candles; but since our people have seen
the calcium light they will not be salts
fed with any other.

CoLoRED PRocEssIoY.-The societies
of the colored population turned out in
large numbers and paraded the Elain
streets of the city yesterday. There
were some four or ive,hpndred in the
procession, and they marched in an or
derby manner, after the music of three
or four bands. They wore handsome
regalia, and seemed decidedly inspired
by the solemnity of the occasion The
most noticeable feature of the process
sion, was a triumphal car, handsomely
decorated with evergreens and graceful
trappings, on which were arranged sew

KosKoo.-This medicine is rapidly
gaining the confidence of the people, and
the numerous testimonials of its virtues,
given by practitioners of medicines,
leave no doubt that it is a safe and re-
liable remedy for IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD,

properties, and give a special recon-
mendation Of Koskoo to the practitioners
Of medicine. This is, we believe, the first
instance where such medicines have been
officially Endorsed by the faculty Of any

HoT WEATHER. anything be
more propitious than the hot weather we
have had for the last fortnight2 True,
there have been occasional showers--in
fact, scarce a day has passed without
densely-packed clouds rolling up, some-
times discharging lightning in the dis
lance, with its accompanying reverber-
ating thunder, but quite as often passing
off in o gust, or falling back to shadow
other sections. The showers have for
hemost part been gentle, transient and
partial, andb no means precluding work
in the fields II has been capital grass
weather, but industry has been able to
curb the propensity of Bermuda and
crab to encroach upon the crops, and
where pillow and hoe have been used adj
vantageously the corn and cotton never
looked finer. BUTT has been an awful
season for the sluggard and the over
cropped. Patient toll and industry we're
never more visible and distinct from
carelessness and sloth as exemplifed in
the fields. While the thermometer has
been sufficiently high here, and to keep
coolp has been matter of difficulty,
Memphis has been favored far beyond
other places much farther north. Here
Fahrenheit has indicated in the fairest
exposure but 93o, while we hear of it in
Central Illinois beyond 1902, and in New
York and Washington quite that degree,
Besides, no day in the heated term has
passed without delicious breeze. When
that subsidies, however, to the mere
shadosof breeze, we confess that the
weather is rather oppressive. Let them
try it as they may, our climate, cold or
warm, viii be found most genial, and
comparable with any to be found on the
continent. lt.l

A TERRIBLE AccDEYT,--About one
o'clock to-day, while attempting to hang
bird cage on the wall outside the win
dow Of the third story, corner of Main
and Union streets, Mr.. Oscar Bill, oper-
ator of the Photographic gallery No, 33e,
was precipitated to the pavement below,
breaking his thighs, cutting his head, and
receiving such other injuries as must
prove fatal. 1t is thought the cage
slipped from his hand, and in his eager
ness to catch it he lost his footing and
fell. The cage with the dead bird lies
on the pavement. Mr.. Bill was conveyed
to his room on the floor from which he
fell and received surgical attention, but
cannot possibly survive, being in an in
