Direct Plainly.

Parties addressing letters should be
careful and make the names and places
of persons plain, and should see that
the stamps used are all right. The
Boston postmaster issues the following
notice for that place, which may serve
as a..hint.in onr .own..town ~
@Box holders and business men will
confer great favorIon. the Office, and
on themselves, by using envelopes with
their business cards printed upon them.
Such letters if improperly directed. or
mailed without prepayment, or for
warded to the wrong destination, will
be returned Immediately, without ex-
pense to the parties, and placed in their
boxes. There are mailed in this Office
an average of one hundred letters daily
without stamps upon them, or with
revenue stamps upon them instead of
postage stamps, or two cent stamps
where three cents are required, and
these letters are by law forwarded to
the Dead Letter Office at Washington,
and more than halfof these letters, that
is fifty daily, are mailed by banks, in
surance offices and business men. If
the business card is printed upon these
letters, they are returned directly to
the writers. =
In this connection We would say the
number of complaints of lost letters in
the Boston Office does not average four
per day, and three out of four of those
complaints are subsequently, explained
by misdirection of the letters, badly
written superscriptions, neglect to mail
them, or in some way through the fault
or neglect of WRITER'S

Fair at 0rryille.

The Fair heldiat Orrville on the llth,
18th & 18th inst. was quite a success.
The weather was fine and the attendance
good. The exhibition of articles was
snch as to show that the people were in
earnest hbout the matter, and had some
pride in showing what they had. All
the departments were well represented.
Agricultural implements were numer-
GUS and attracted much attention. Me-
chanics' Hall was crowded with articles
on exhibition. Floral Hall was the
chief place of attraction. 1t was very
well filed, and was tastefnlly and beau
tifully arranged. The musical depart
ment was well represented. There were
five organs on exhibition, and we no.
ticed that the Estey carried off the First
Premium as usual. The stock was good
The trials of speed were interesting to
a'great many but we noticed an inclina-
tion to jocky among some of the drivers
which killed the interest of the specta-
tors. On the whole the fair was sue
cess, and we only wish we could get up
as good an one in this county.

The Pictorial Family Register.

We have just received from those well known
publishers of frst-class Subscription Books,
Messrs. Z. Haunaford & Co., copy of their
unique and beautiful novelty, 1.-THE PICTO-
RIAL FAMILY RICHTER" We hardly
know how to describe it, but may say it COM
bines the features of u very tasteful Family
Photograph Album with complete and syste
matically arranged family history. 1t has ev-
identity been prepared with great care to meet
q real want in society. In every family there
are sacred memories, connected with the liy-
ing and dead, and safe, elegant and tasteful
arrangement for preserving fuller record OF
them than is convenient in the Family Bible,
is often felt to be exceedingly desirable. The
publishers Of the work before us have proyi-
ded for this admirable style.
A great deal of information, both interest
ing and valuable, in the history of every fam
lily is constantly being forgotten and lost, for
the want Of some means, just as the Register,
for collecting and preserving it. Its forms are
neatly printed and very simple, so that any
one who can write can easily fill them up. In
addition to these forms, the "Register'' -four
pages) of each individuals embraces a suita-
BILE space for miscellaneous memoranda of any
kind, and leaf for the instruction of a pho
tograph. There areenough of these Registers
to include all desired dates in respect to twen-
ty-1ve individual. lives and persons. Two
military Records" are also added at the close
OF the work, for noting the principal events in
the military life Of those members of the fami-
ly who may once have served their country in
the army. ......-. ....
From this brief description, our readers will
preceive that the "PICTORIAL FAMILY
REGISTER" is really treasury of home COM
fort and household information, q desiderdtun.

rod under one of the sleeping cars. They
went to roost at Loudenville, and rode
to Mansfield, distance of sixteen miles,
when Thornce gobbled them for pot

Pullman cars, as even the chickens go
for them as roosting place.-F. Wayne

New Style.

A new style of arranging the hair is
to be adopted soon. The old French
twist in the back is to be revived, but
rendered more graceful by n plait OIL
cable OF hair surrounding it, dropping
low on the nape of the neck. A coro-
net Of hair is to take the place of the
Pompadour roll, from beneath that cor.

on each side, are to fall on the back and
shoulders from beneath the braid or ca
be. The temple hair is to be brushed
high and smooth.

Meanness.

Mark Twain produces one of the mosi
striking cases of meanness on record
He says he knows of an incorporated
society which hired a man to blast a
rock, and he was punching powder in ii
with crowbar, when premature ex-
plosion took place, sending the man
and crOwbar out of sight. Both came
down all right, and the man went to
work promptly; but, though he was
gone only fifteen minutes, the COM
pany "docked him for lost time.'

Cider.

As this is the time of the year when
millions of bushels of apples are being
crushed into cider, it is of interest to
housekeepers to be acquainted with the
best method of keeping it sweet. Here
is one from the journal of the Farm
which will be found to answer the pur-
pose admirably: Let the cider after it
comes from the press stand until the
pumace settles; then put it in clean
vessel and let it come to boil, ,skimming
of the scum carefully; then put in
kegs or demijohns and cork it tightly,
1t will keep for years.

GATHERING.
BY MARAH.

In the spring times dewy morning
In the shadows, in the light,
Pearly fingers idly straying,
Gather dowers blue and white
In the summer suns broad glowing,
Stalwart men with irm strong hands,
Gather grains that Slisten golden
Through their brown and russet bands
And when all the sheaves are gathered,
And the winter evenings come,
Hearts are peaceful in the memories
OF the past work, SO well done.
o. may we in life's bright summer,
Gather many golden sheaf,
That may, garnered in high Heaven,
Yield US everlasting peace.

Allegheny Cattle Market.


The number of cattle on sale to-day
was large, footing up about 1000 head
against 700 last Monday. The supply
was largely in excess of the demand,
and in consequence, there were several
lots left over unsold; there were quite a
number of country drovers on hand,
and this made it worse for the regular
dealers-the former came determined to
sell, as they want to get rid of their cat
tie before the cold weather sets in, and
they put prices down, particularly for
the common and medium grades.
Prime to extra butchers stock sold
more readily, and that too, at relatively
better prices than the lower grades, but
this is always the case, and it is owing to
the fact that the supply of the former
is nearly always much larger than that
Of the latter. There were some sales at
6 and even Ga, for extra, and 5a5ls for
good to prime, but the great bulk Of the
sales were at 39s4a41aa. There is some in
quiry for stockers, but at very low
prices; 34a3ls is bid for good stock
steers, and it requires something fine to
bring 4ctS,
