Macedonian Oil,

The Wayne County Democrat says
"To stranger who is visiting Wooster
for the first time, there are many things
apparent, which is astonishing. None
more so than. a visit to DR.. Ingraham,
the manufacturer of the justly celebra-
ted Macedonian Oil. In our eastern
cities, we have Helmbold, Smith &
Brown, with their catalogue of stand
ard Medicines. Evans with Hoofland's
Bitters-all bold, energetic men, who,
besides aiding suffering humanity with
their medicinal preparations, are rapidly
accumulating the results of their nerve
and pluck. But to find a proprietor OF
popular remedy in this interior town,
with indomitable perseverance and sa-
gacity, engineering a business which
has passed that epoch in trade in which
uncertainty dwells, and who has estab-
lished reputation for the Macedonian
Oil all over the country, is truly another
evidence of that trite motto: every
man is the architect of his own fortune .
We need not add the testimony of one
who writes, and who is conversant with
this department of trade, to corrobor-
ate what is now known in Pennsylvania
Ohio, parts of Illinois and Indiana, that
this Oil is becoming popular through its
remedial agency alone. DR.. 1. it is true
understands the value of printers ink
and is liberal with his publishers, but
the medicine itself is his strongest adj
l~vertisement.
Having been shown through his de-
partment, we hesitate not to commend
this enterprise in Wooster as developing
into success which the town must be
proud of

A Man Frozen to Death.

i,;. Again we are called upon to record
= sad occurrence which happened on
Wednesday night or Thursday morning
of last week. As the construction train
was passing down to Oxford, the body
of man was seen near the track, COW
erred with snow. Supposing it to be one
of their own men who had been thrown
from the cars the evening before, they
stopped and found. it was not, but the
body of Patrick cCann, of Miller5burg.
They took him on and brought him to
s town. The facts of the case are as fol-
lows, as near as we can gather them.
He had started from Oxford late
Wednesday night on horseback, and had
come some distance towards home, when
he either fell from his horse or was
thrown off. Some man, we did not
learn his name, helped him on again
and started him towards home, but he
would turn back to Oxford again il
spite of all the man could do. Remain.
ing some time, he returned and succeed
ed in getting somewhat farther on thar
I'd. he had been before, when he was thrown

then started to walk, and coming to ;
read, that crossed the track, he turned
off as though he wanted TO reach ;
house some distance away. Going /.
few steps he fell into the ditch and being
unable to rise, perisied in the snow

FROM ORRVILLE.

JAN. 80, II.
EDITORS REPUBLICAN: You strike a
good point when you call the attention
of your citizens to the Importance OF
connecting Millersburg with the outside
world by telegraph line. Your propo-
sition for a cooperation with the rail-
way managers to secure this great de-
sideratum is the most feasible plan OF
getting at the thing, if an effort is ever
to be made in that direction at all.
A telegraph line to be successful
investment for the stockholders must
generally be worked in connection with
railroad, excepting to connect two or
more large commercial cities, and even
then, for various reasons, it is advisable
to follow line of railroad. There are
at present some independent telegraph
lines connecting the principal cities OF
the Union which do not pay a dividend.
but would pay well if connected with
railways.
Nearly all of the railway telegraphs,
or those following the route of rail-
way, in this country, are under the con-
troll of the Western Union Company.
and all pay well. q,
The telegraph company generally
constructs the line in. the first place, and
the railway company pays the operators
and keeps the line in repair. In this way
the railway company secures the free use
of the line for the transaction of its
business and the telegraph company
takes the receipts for the trans mission
of commercial business. This co opera
ton makes good thing for both COM
panies, and affords low rate of charges
for public business.
| Any break in the wires extending
along railway is repaired in a few
hours, but when a like mishap occurs tC
a line not thus favorably located the
communication may be re-establishet
to-day or tomorrow, but most likely
tomorrow, for, in the latter case, it j:
the nearest operator instead of an eX.
perienced repairman who must 60 out tt
find and repair the difficulty.
While the executive office of th'
Cleveland, Mt. Vernon & Delaware Rail
road remains at Mt. Vernon, 1 think th,
officers of that Company would consid
er it highly important for them to be il
direct communication with their agent
and contractors.
Ibelievc Alillersburg has had some eX
perience in this across-the-country tel
egraph, and it is not probable that he
wide-awake citizens are desirous of re
peating the experience.
The nineteen car loads of tea, noticed
in my last, arrived in New York sevel
; days from San Francisco and twenty
three days from Hong Kong, China, tn

cargo was valued at 100000.

upon the reelection of Grant to the Presiden-

such a marriage would secure and perpetuate
