The Inva1id-A Pen Picture.

See her pallid countenance, but a
short time ago the picture of ruddy
health, the envy of the school and the
pride of the household. She was al
ways welcomed by her schoolmates,
for her 1.-THE form and pleasing dispo-
sition carried eheerfulness into their
ranks. Diligent, punetual and exem-
plarY, obedient and graceful at home,
she won the hearts of all. But alas,
we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks
and ruddy lips are blanched by con-
sumption. The voice once so en-
chanting and laugh and song is feeble,
husky rnd supplanted by hollow
cough. Let us approach her couch
gently and take her hand. Do not
shudder because of the feeble and
passionless grasp. The hand once so
hearty and plump is emaciated and
shows bony outlines, while the cords
and tortuous veins are plainly map
ped upon the surface. The pulse that
bounded with repletion, carrying vig-
or to the whole system aud imparting
life, beauty, vivaeity, health and
strength, is delicate to the touch. The
feeble heart cannot propel the thin,
scanty blood with force. Must we
lose her while yet in her teens? Com
pdillOHS dlll 1El0lluS gdlU6f around
with words of cheer and consolation
and depart with moistened eyes and
silent steps. Must we lose her? MOI!
there is reliefi We can stay this de-
stroyer of our happiness and not suf-
fer the loss of so bright gem. Some
thing more is required now than diet
airy and hygenic observance, for ma
ture calls for aid and she shall have it.
Take this pleasant medicine. 1t is in
vigorating. How it allays the irita-
bic cough, improves the appetite and
digestion and sends a healthy tingle
through the frame. The blood is en-
riched, nervous force increased, and
the heart bounds with new impulse.
See her face brighten by degrees the
color is returning, her voice is getting
clearer, and pleasant words are spo-
ken. The strength falters yet but is
gaining. Let us take her out in the
warm sunshine. In short time she
will be able TO go without our aid, q
cheerful girl. This delightful medi-
cine must be God-blessed. 1t is re-
storing health to our loved one. She
is emerging from her sickness sweet
er and nobler than before, and DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
must have the credit. 1t has raised
her. Sold by all first class druggists
everywhere. ~ $50.

The Ravenna Silver Cornet Band
treated our citizens to an outdoor
concert on Monday evening, when
they performed some of their choicest
pieces. 1t was very pleasant enter
tainment, and everybody seemed to
enjoy it. The boys are about getting
up a new uniform, which will add
materially to the appearance of, their
organization, and little assistance
from the people will not come amiss.
We know how it is eurself; it is diff
cult and expensive keeping up such
an organization, and those who like to
listen to. their sweet strains should
not fail to help the members bear the
pecuniary burden. ,t~rt.7 5sg.5

DEATH OF DR.. EwING.--Dr. John
Ewing, of Edinburgh, died at his resi-
denee in that township, of hemorr-
hage of the bowels, on the morning of
Wednesday the 9Th inst, after an ILL.,
ness of about ten days. He had been
severely afflicted for some time preyi-
GUS to his death with inflammatory
rheumatism, from which he was just
recovering when the disease which
terminated his life set in. He was in
the thirty year of his age, a ply
sician in good standing, and an honest
and upright business man, who en-
joved the unbounded confidence and
respect of the entire community. He
leaves a wife and three small children
to mourn over their sad bereavement.

"A TAME AFFAIR.-The admirers of
Grant got up asgrand ratification
meeting over the doings of the Phila-
delphia Convention, on Friday even
ing. The great affair was heralded by
immense sheet posters a day in ad-
vance and the faithful were called up
on to shell out The scrip to procure
the necessary materials to kindle the
flame of enthusiasm. When the aus
picious hour arrived the sky was all
ablaze with a. grand display of fire.
works, the services of the Silver Cor
net band, whose choice, sweet music
never fails to draw crowd, were
called into requisition, and by these
means and much earnest drumming
they managed to get together very
respectable audience of some three
hundred men women and children in
Citizens Hall, who were entertained
by speeches from Lieutenant A. Hart,
Colonel E. B. Taylor, and Captain
John Meharg, in which they plaster
ed over the party and its candidates
with the sickIy phrase usually EN-
ployed OH such occasions. 1t was
rather a tame affair, utterly devoid of
the least sign OF genuine enthusiasm.
During the evening the only cheers
that rent the air for Grant and Will
son came from the Jail, whose inmates
seemed to be better satisfied with the
deings of the convention than any
body else. 1t is perfectly evident
that those who Joined in the demon
stration were engaged in work for
which they had no taste.

IMrRovED.-Phe grass in the pub

gives to that delightful patch of
ground an improved appearance and
makes it much more pleasant for those
who have an opportunity to lounge
during the hot days.
"GRAss-biIIiards" is having consid-

doubtedly a very pleasant pastime,
but there arc those who prefer the
good old fashioned game which many
of those who indulge in this modern

no rational innocent amusement ex-

The glorious Fourth of July is near
at hand, but we hear of no efforts
being made for fit observance of
that great national holiday. Perhaps
there are large portion of the people
who don't believe the declaration of

rable, that these colonies are and of
right ought to be free and independ-
ent States" 1t looks so.

It is asserted in political circles in
Washington that all extra session will
be called to pass the force bill. The
New York Tribune says:
The friends of the President de-
clare that unless these are passed there
must be an extra session; there
fore the men who honestly oppose
this unwarranted stretch of military
power in time of profound peace at
the South are conspirators, compell-
ing a wasteful extra session. Says

SEVERE SToRM.-On Friday after
noon last terrific hail-storm passed
over the south part of Ravenna, the
north part of Rootstown, and the
northern and western portion of Ed

numbers, many of them larger than
large hen-eggs. A great quantity of
glass was smashed up along the path
of the storm. Over forty lights were
broken in the house of DIR. Turnbull,
in Edinburgh, and many more in other
dwellings in the territory visited.

The New York Tribune says of the
Philadelphia Radical gathering:
The Convention did its work with
neatness and dispatch. The man who
had patronage to use secured its vote
for a second term Grant is renomi-
mated. The man who had no patron
age to use could not secure its vote.
Co1fax is set aside with the contempt
nous argument of the negro delegate
that he saw no objection to swapping
horses in the middle of the stream,
provided you get better horse.'
The American people propose to COM
plete the swap which Philadelphia
left only half finished, and in Novem-
Der swap the whole ticket for better
one" a,..ss "a f...lt ,.ss,. ,i.-... ..s..,,...,s
The Tribune Peekons the wanton
sacrifice of Colfax more than equal to
the trifiing Administration majority
in Indiana, as well as a serious blow
throughout the country. With union,
harmony and effort Pennsylvania and
Indiana are within the grasp of the
opposition, and the party which car
ries them in October carries the ma
ton in November.
