Chicago.

There has been considcra bic exao-
geration in regard to the amount OF
money contributed for the relief Of
Chicago. The Tribune says the
actual money subscribed in all part,
of the world amounts, so far as is
known, to about 50, 600, 900. Ofthis
sum the Relief Committee has rcceiv-
ed about one-half, or, say, 81, $780,
900. With the million and half oil
money they have carried on the work
ofhousing, feeding, and clothing rom
thirty thousand to forty thousand
people since the 9th Of October, aided
by the contributions Of provisions
and goods which have also been mad
The Relief Committee is looking
with a good deal of anxiety at the
bottom Of their pile Of 50, 900, 600,
already greatly diminished, and are
asking themselves what can be done,
as they are yet only to the edge of
cold weather, and there are five
months of winter yet to come, with
its perjury, it's hunger, its storms, it's
enforced idleness, and it's despair.

The chances Of Harlan for Sena-
torship seem to grow beautifully less
The St. Louis Times, in alluding to
the subject, says it is not I'M probable
that the alleged completely of Mr..
Harlan with lately developed frauds
in the Interior Department will have
a damaging effect upon his Senatori-
al chances although he has labored
under similar imputations for several
years. We're be a Democrat he
would be dropped by his party like a
hot potato, but somehow or other
the Radical party is not so sensitive
upon poiats ofhonor or honesty. His
rival aspiI ant, however, will doubt
less hold the reverend gentleman to
strict account of his somewhat
questionable stewardship, and make
it as warm as possible for him.

The Stokes Tennessee mustcr-roll
on which the Second Auditor paid
about S70,0 OO of public money, is a
valuable acquisition to the vita! sta
; tistics Of the country. The action
of the Treasury Department, in this
case, settles the fact that company
Of volunteers, numbering 1O2 men
enlisted for three years and served
the entire term, losing only one man;
whether he was killed by accident
or died natural death, We are not
advised, The hard fighting and
peril. to which these troops were
subjected, induced Congress to pass
a special act allowing them bounties.
As there was nothing said in the act
As to Stokes having any share in the
bounty, it is now claimed that he
acted "irregularly." and it seems
the country is to be deprived, tenn
porari'y, of his services as supervisor
Of internal revenue. The muster
roll in the meantime, should be
transferred to the Smithsonian Insti-
tutc for the benefit of science and
life insurance management. If a
clerk can settle an account Of this
magnitude, aud procure its payment,
there should be great caution in the
selection of clerks. We supposed
that moro than one official had to be
consulted before money was drawn
from the Treasury. 1t would seem
that with the comprehensive system
of checks and balances, that after
all, nobody but the clerk is response

Cure for small Pox.

Although the following recipe has
appeared in our columns before (the
exact date we do not remember) we
re-publish it, hoping it may prove of
advantage. A correspondent of the
Stockton (Cal.) Herald gives the fol-
lowing as cure for smallpox:
Herewith append a receipt which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent OF
cure the smallpox, even though the
pittings are filed. When Jenner dis
covered the cow-pox in England, the
world of science hurled an avalanche
of fame on his head but when the
most scientific school of medicine in
the world-that of Paris-published
this receipta as panacea for smallpox,
it passed unheeded ; it is as unfailing
as fate, and conquers in every instance.
1t is harmless when taken by well
person. It will also cure scarlet fe-
yer. Here is the receipt as I have used
it and cured many children of the scar
let fever; here it is as have used it,
and cured the smallpox when learned
physicians said the patient must die
Sulphate of zinc, one grain fox
glove, Cdigitalis) one grain; half a
tablespoonful of sugar; mix with two
tablespoonfuls-o of water"
When the above has been thorough
ly mixed, add four ounces of water
For a child smaller doses, according
to age. II cities would compel ply
sicfans to use this, there would be nc
use of pest houses. If you value ad.
vice and experience, use this for thai
terrible and dreaded scourge.

SMALL-Pox.-Last Friday evening
Clifton Ferrell, former employee of
the A. & G. w. Railway, died at the
residence of his father in the west part
of this village of smallpox This is
the only death that has occurred from
this much dreaded disease in our vii
lage. We hear that the most alarming
reports are in circulation in regard to
the prevalence of the disease in this
place. These reports are unfounded,
and there is no cause for alarm. AS
vet, there have been but two cases in
the village, and those confined to one
locality and to one family, and with
the exception of the case above no.
ticed, all the patients are convalesant.
1t is now hoped that the danger is
passed and that there will be no fur
ther spread of the terrible disease. But
too much caution cannot be observed
against it. The matter of vaccination
should be attended to at once by all +;
even those who have been vaccinnated
should have the operation repeated.
Since writing the above, we are in
formed by Health Officer, DIR. A. w.
Alcorn, that there is not now case of
smallpox in this village.

President B. A. Hinsdale. of Hiram
College, preached in the Town Hall,
on Sabbath last, on the different pha-
ses of mans character NAMELY, the
sentimental and the practical. The
thought and the action. the word and
the deed, should correspond in real
life, and is the rule of growth i'll the
character generally, with exceptional
cases. 1t was very interesting and
instructive discourse furnishing vast
fund of material for study and inves-
tigation.
The fair which was held few
days ago for the benefit of the Catho-
lie Church at the Station. was a spIen-
did success, pecuniarily, resulting in
raising the sum of $780, which will
pay all outstanding Indebtedness, and
leaving handsome surplus to be used
in finishing the interior with pulpit,
seats, &c. A spirited contest was car
ried on the last evening of the fair for
the possession of gold headed cane,
to be presented to an employed on the
A. & q. W. Rail Road, who was an
overseer on the same, and receiving
the greatest number of votes for that
purpose. Each quarter of a dollar
paid in, counting one vote, 1929 votes
were cast t,realizing 1851, 5,and declar-
ing John Brown (not him of Harper's

sor of the aforesaid staff for his de-
clining years.
The new church was situated on the
north side OF Prospect street, occupy
ing a commanding site, overlooking
the whole village and the beautiful
valley of the Cuyahoga in the vicinity.
In its plain and simple, yet substan-
tial and tasteful style Of architecture,
it adds very materially to the beauty
of this thriving village. Our enter
prising tewnsmen, Messrs. A. N. and |
W. II. Farr, have completed the work |
in manner highly satisfactory to all |
concerned.
On Friday evening last school ex-
hibition was given at the close of the |
select school at the Station under the |
tuition of Mr.. A. Wilson. Citizens |
Hall was filled to witness the perform
ances, which were quite interesting
and very creditably performed. A /
variety of exercises were on the pro-
gramme, such as declamatlons, recita- |
tions, Dialogues, &C., interspersed
with music by Farr and Miller. Miss |
Emma Burnett acquitted herself with !
much credit on the organ and when |
accompanied by that youthful musical
prodigy, little Master Miller, on the |
violin, the hearty applause of the de-
lighted audience testified their salts
faction and pleasure at the perform
ance. The Irish Tutor, a farce, in |
which A. and E. Wilson. Master Fred
Frost and Charlie Moore and Misses
Kyle and Cobb took part, brought
down the house with shouts of bois-
trous mirth. Several excellent songs
were sung by Misses Burnet, Han
cock, Gorton and others with instru-
mental accompaniment, which were
an enjoyable feature of the occasion.
The yoledictory address of Miss Vet
tie Kyle was delivered in beautiful
and appropriate manner, and thus
ended at late hour a pleasant and
agreeable entertainment,

has given place to mild spring like
