Something Every Economical House keeper wants

II is seldom We see an article 50 simple,
labor-saving, and economical, as the patent
window, carpet, and scrub brush combined
and adjustable to one holder. These brushes
are secured with the best of prepared wire
and cannot come out whether used in hot or
cold water, and will last longer than twenty
glued ones, and are sold at the low price Of
two dollars per set, which includes handle,
window carpet and scrub brush. The carpet
brush alone will wear out five dollars worth
of hrooms, sweep much cleaner and easier,
and is much better for your carpet. Over
fifty families in Augusta have these brushes in
use and all unite in the opinion that no econom-
zeal house keeper can afford to be without
them. They are sold only by the canvassing
agent, who will during the coming week call
on those families not yet ylsted-and we adj
wise all to examine the goods, that they may
give their order, and secure an article of real
merit, worth five times the price charged.
No money required until Tie goods are de-
liver>d.

Terrific Tornado.

Chicago, "a. Last night terrific tornado
passed over several counties on the Missis-
sippi river, in the central portion of eastern
Iowa and western Illinois. 1t appears to
have moved in southeastward direction.
Accounts from Des Moines county. Iowa and
Albums county, Illinois, state that every
movable thing in its track was swept away.
Trees were uproOted, fences scattered, tele-
graph poles and lines demolished and many
barns and houses unrooted and blown down.
No loss of life. The destruction Of proper-
ty was very great.

The numbering, by some system, of the
places Of business on our streets, and the sui
stitution of new street signs for the old and
dilapitated ones, would be improy that
would be highly appreciated by all, especially
strangers who come TO the place and wish TO
find the residences or business places Of GER
tain persons. Most of these street signs are
lecaying reminders &C the guideboaras along
the way the tabled horseman rode, and simply
stand as ''uninforming pieces of wood Ex-
cept he should happen 10 learn from tradition,
a stranger cannot tell exactly into what street
he NAV turn, nor is lie sure by the numbers
that he applies at the right place. Let the
city appropriate small sum for new street
signs, and receive the public thanks.

We saw at the depot yesterday rough cast
ing tor the bed of an spgine lathe, en- route
for the machine shop of Allen, Small { Co.,
to be finished up. Tins bed, which weighs
nearly ton, was cast at the foundry of Mr..
g. W. Cooling, at Gardiner, by new meth
Cd, and without pattern. This method is
the invention Of our townsman, Mr.. Hiram
Ellis, and makes a great saving in the cost OF
such work first, in the saving of patterns and
their great cost; and, second, where patterns
are used it requires ponderous machinery to
turn the flask or a dry sand core, on which to
cast such work all of which is avoided by
this invention. We understand that patent
has been applied for, which will no doubt be
granted. BY thl. AuctIod the bed for planer
or steam engine may be cast. No name has
yet been applied to this invention, although
some who know y say that it should be call
ed sSweeping;' but sweeping is sort OF
swinging round the circle" while this ma
chine works on bee line, which will no
doubt be the course of the inventor, AS he has
already received handsome offers from parties
interested in machinery, and expects shortly
to visit Chicago.

A few days since the Treasurer called at my ONCE
and threatened that If O suit which had been CON-
menced by the Farmers Loan and Trust Company
was not withdrawn a suit would be commenced
against me that would blacken my character and
this proceeding Is in pursuance OF that threat IL
Is an effort to force the dscontinuance OF suits
which have been brought to save the peoples prop
crty from set OF sharpers. suit is being COM
menced against the directors OF the company for
maleasance in appr0priat n9 over 81 5000 OF the
company's stock without paying one dollar for it,
The knowledge Of this TACT has induced ring OF
desperate men to play desperate game
l hereby den0unce every allegation rejecting
upon me as false and malicious, and j have de-
mauded an immediate investigation. For every
dollar that Is equitaby due the company rom me
will donate a. 600 TO any charitable institution In

she inquired II there were any letters kilograms
for her. Receiving a negative reply she sought her
room with tears in her eyes, remarking
'sHE CANNOT HAVE DESERTED ME-"
The lady remained at the bridge until lass Sun
day evening scarcely leaving her room, excepting
for an occasional walk to the Whirlpool, where she
was noticed by the employees to sit hour after
hour communing with her own thoughts, uncon-
scious of aught else. Last Sunday even
materials, she left the hotel and was seen
going In the direction of the whirlpool, since
which time there have been no tidings of her, and
1t Is feared that while labOring under some mental
anguish she threw herself into the river few rods
below the bridge. Their fears were strengthened
this morning when 1t became known that DR..

at her iavorite resort the following letter with the

OF the election of James B. Beck to Congress, as he
Is opposed by o shrewd and sleepless person

made himself the sponsor for General

nominated at the New York Convention OF 1868, 1t
was supposed that Duncan meant to use Hancock's
name at the Louisville Convention. Interrogated
upon this point to-day he admitted that General
Hancock had fatly refused to be brought forward
under any circumstances but he alleged that Han
COCK was opposed to Greeley.
