No kind of food is so wholesome
at this season of the year-if eaten
at morning-as fruits. Not only
are they pleasant, but they are alb
solutely necessary to supply certain
wants and wastes Of the system, and
ouldetherefore be eaten freely at
proper times by all classes. But it
must be remembered that fruit must
be ripe when eaten.
A fight occurred about ten days

has since died. Tho Commission.

5000 for the arrest of Ratcliff. 1t

1T pleases us TO learn that our old friend HEN
BY Y4NF0ssEN, of jackson, has been nomina-
ted for Sheriff Of that county, by the Democracy.
He is an honest man and is qualified for the po-
sition. The Standard, however, doubts the quail
iacations of Mr.. VANFossEN. The GRANTEES,
inone county in Ohio, as we observe, have placed
very intelligent candidate on their ticket for
Sheriff, so intelligent that he failed to receive a
certificate to teach ba, be, bi, bo, bu, and by to
an infant school in the district in which he resi-
ded. His qualifications are pretty much the
same as those of the Grant Elector who declares
that "General Robert e. Lee is for Greeley"
We've rit to Dr. Greeley to send barrel full Of
eddycashun to the "narrow-minded blockheads
who would like to be useful toa great and good
cause but don't know how" as DR.. Greeley
knows exactly what they want

Is large this year, and the prices
will run low. The largest tomato,
Of the Mammoth variety, we have
have seen this year was brought to
this office one day last week by
Samuel Sidenstrcker, who resides
about three miles north. west of

ounces. HENRY REYNOLDS informs
US that he raised one that was some
larger, of the Trophy variety. The
next thingin order is the canning
of green corn and tomatoes.
WE would again say to those
wishing printing of any description

do it neatly as we'll as oheaply. We
have just received large lot oi

we shall receive another supply
We return our thanks to our Dem

publican friends throughout the
county, for the liberal patronage
with which we have been favored
Come and see US when you wan
