Suicide Of an Old Man.

Mr.. Benz. Alsdorf, an old man aged
6S years, who lived about five miles west
of this place, in Milton township, be-
coming tired of life, fastened a strap to
a rail in the loft of his cow-stable on
last Saturday afternoon, made a moose
in the other end and putting his head
into it, launched off into the other world.
The cause assigned is domestic trouble.
Some fourteen years ago he became de-
ranged and was sent to the asylum. At
that time he threatened suicide or ex-
pressed desire to have his life ended.
The last that was seen of the old gen.
tleman alive was about 2 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon. When found about six
O'Clock in the evening his knees were
resting upon the ground, showing that
his determination to end his life was
firm, as it must have taken n great eff
fort to have hung himself in that situa-
tIon.-Ashland Times.

DiSinfeet.

If you have about your premises foul
places that cannot well be cleaned out,
sprinkle them with carbolic acid or a
solution of chloride of lime, and repeat
operation occasionally. This will neu-
tralize the miasmatic poison that arises
from them during the warm weather,
which is such a great generator of fe-
vers, dysenteries, &c. No family can be
too careful with respect to this. If you
have damp vegetable cellar, dish OF
chloride of lime should be kept in it as
a disinfectant. Many long and severe
sickness has been traced directly to a
damp and neglected cellar. Attention
is called to this, because it is a matter
that is likely to be overlooked in the
rush of business.

GOOD MEETING.

The meeting for the organization
of Young Mems Republican club,
on Monday evening was well attend
ed, and the progress made toward
the organization oil the same was
as much as we could expect at the
first meeting. As there was no one
present with the programme already
made ont, the organization was
commenced without the dictations
of managiag rings. After some
consultation as to the best mode of
organization and the appointment
of several temporary committees,
the meeting adjourned to meet on
Saturday evening next to complete
the organization. Let every young
man make it convenient to be pres
ent, as it is intended to make it a

Our County Fair.

The days and weeks are gliding rapid
ly by, and the time for holding the
county fair will soon be here. Great
preparations, on the part of the mana
gers, are being made in order to make
it as good, il not better, than any eoun-
ty fair in this section of the State. The
accommodations for exhibitors are be-
ing made complete and satisfactory, and
it remains now with the people to say
whether this fair shall he success in
every particular. The managers may
do all that lies in their power to do, yet
if the people, for whose benefit 1t Is
gotten up, do not come forward and do
their part the thing cannot be made that
successful exhibition it should be. In
view of this, we would urge exhibitors
to commence making their arrange
ments early. Get your stock in order,
and just here we would say, that the
accommodations for stock are first-rate,
plenty of good water on the grounds,
and an abundance of stalls. Get your
grains cleaned, your produce selected,
your machinery manufactured, your
fancy work completed, your flowers in
good, healthy condition, and by the way
there are a great many handsome flow
ers this season, everything you propose
or mediate exhibiting in the best pos
sible order for the coming fair. Every
body should feel interested in these ex-
hibitions and should contribute some
thing. There isn't man, woman nor
child in the county but that should in
terest themselves i'm the matter, and feel
that it is their fair, and take part in
making it just what it should be. Don't
hang back, and one wait on the other,
and, perhaps, finally say, 81 hav'nt any
thing that is worth taking" Yes you
have something that others would like
to look'at, and others have things that
you would delight in seeing. Come,
then, get them ready, bring them with
you, and we shall have an exhibition
that will be well worth looking at. We
have had fruitful season, and provi-
dence has placed in our hands the neces-
sary productions to outstrip all former
exhibitions, and We are alone response
BILE for success or failure. The proba-
bilities are that the coming fair will sur
pass all previous years. 1t certainly
will with a cordial and united effort On
the part of our people.

lee Cream.

Halls Journal Of Health says that 4
plate of ice cream taken leisurely, while
seated at n table in pleasurable con-
versation, is far safer quencher of
thirst than glass of ice water, or any
other ice cold liquid; the ice cream is,
in addition, stimulating and nutritious,
thus invigorating, cooling and strength
ening the system at the same time.
Ice cream should not be taken imme-
diately after a full meal, unless in the
most leisurely manner possible-a plate
full in the course of fifteen minutes,
during lively conversation. If eaten
rapidly it cools the stomach, prevents
digestion, and causes acidity, unseemly
belchings, if not actual chill, which in
feeble persons endangers life.

The question is often asked why the
Howe Sewing Machine is the hest. The
answer is, simply because it does every
thing in the sewing line with such per-
feet satisfaction. Every one who has
used a Howe Machine pronounces it the
most complete. Its work speaks for it
self. No other machine has such unan-
imous testimony in its behalf. Every
body praises it, and no family should be
without it, If you wish a No. ma
