lCOKRESPONDENCE.
Last Thursday afternoon, Peter
Cooper, one of the early settlers of
Hiram township, after long and
painful illness, passed away at the ad-
vanced age of seventy-four years. He
was connected with the early history
of the township, being one of the
sturdy pioneers who came when the
land was covered with dense forest,
and by his strong arm many broad
acres have been reclaimed and made
rich and productive. His political
creed was strongly Democratic. and
he was ever known as bitter oppo-
nent of the new tangled schemes of
the so called Republican demagogues.
One week ago last Wednesday NOR
ming o. A. Taylor, Esq, died at his
residence in this village, after All ILL
ness of nearly five weeks with the ty-
phoid fever. Last winter Mr.. Taylor
received very severe attack of lung
fever, since which he had never fully
recovered his health. This summer
he made a trip down the lakes and
the st. Lawrence river, visiting the
principal cities on the route. Soon
after his return, he was attacked by
the fever, from which he was unable
to recover. He has been for many
years identified with the profes sion oil
the law, in which his careerwa mark
ed with success. He was ever known
as kind and genial friend, and was
respected by all for his honor and in
tegrity in tie practice of his profess
sion. He leaves wife and child to
mourn his loss. His age was thirty.
six years. s.-sF
Last Friday Forepaugh's Menagerit

How TO KEEP CIDER.-As this is
the time of year when millions of
bushels of apples are being crushed
into cider, it il of interest to house

recipe for keeping it sweet. Here is
one from the journal Of the Farm,
which will be found to answer the
purpose admifably: Let the cider
after it comes from the press stand
until the pumafe settles then put in
a clean vessel and iet ! boil,
skimming off the scum careful then
put it in kegs or demijohns- and cork
it and seal it tightly. twill keep for

Smith Bros. sell goods for what they are. No
customer, of whatevr age and experience, shall
ever have cause to complain of being deceived.
They sell goods for SMALL but SURE PROFIT;
nothing under cost and nothing at exorbitant
figures to meet deficiencies created by bad debts.
Cash or approved credit can command anything
they have at the slight advance upon cost which
no reasonable customer could deny to them.
This rule has already vindicated its propriety
to the benefit alike of themselves and their cus-
toners.
As usual, it is needless for Smith Bros. to fill
the columns of the papers with minute cata-
lOgue of their stock. The PEOPLE KNOW that
they keep FULL line in all branches of the
trade, and don't care to read detailed inven-
tory of calicos, ribbons, brass buttons or shoe
strings. That style of advertisement has been
played out for some time, except with the one
horse concerns at the cross roads. Smith Bros.
are simply prepared to meet every want of the
public, in every department of the trade
They have now opened the Fall and Winter
campaign equipped and provisioned at every
point, and gratefully recognize in their expert
once of the past the most assuring omens Of
continual success.
