COLERAIN LOCALS.

Another harvest is about completed
and although there has been an abun-
dance of rain since the 24th of June,
yet the wheat, oats and Hay, has been
secured in good condition, except some
hay that was cut at the beginning of
harvest.
We learn from man who is running
a Thrashing Machine that wheat is
yielding from II to 16 bus. per acre,
last year it was only about 3 bus. per
acre. Oats are yielding about 80 bus.
per acre, which is not considered a
heavy crop. There is a great defici-
ency in the hay crop. If the frost
should not come until October, there
will be an average corn crop.
We attribute the partial failure of
the fruit to the heavy rains that Oc-
cured at the time the trees were in
bloom, the rain washed the pollen from
the blossoms before they were fertiliz-
ed. The Rawles Jannet, Putnam Rus
sett, aud a few other varieties that are
noted for blooming late in the spring,
are loaded with fruit, while other va
rieties that were in bloom at the time
of the heavy spring rains have but
little fruit, the blossoms dried up and
fell off without forming even small
fruit. Pears had blossomed and set
their fruit before the spring rains, and
the fruit is abundant.
We have no prevailing disease in
our community, yet, out of a popula-
tion of about 1900, we have buried one
adult person for each week for the last
three months. Some one recently over
stated the number that had died near
Pennington. Mrs. M. Major, Mrs. Cope
wife of DIR. Cope, ST., and another wo-
man whose name did not learn, was
buried during the last two weeks.
There is not enough political fever
here to induce people to enquire who
the candidates are.
The Gozette's pictorial effort last week
was failure, an ex-County Treasurer
makes more taking picture.

Pittsburgh Live Stock Market,

SATURDAY, August Is. 1915.
| CATTLE.-The quality of the offerings by raj
was generally good, but not up to the standard
| OF some weeks. Those driven in were most
all the common and lower grades, and, OF
course, in such market sold low. From the
feeling exhibited by butchers would say

as rhrougho this kind sold slow and for prices
fully as low as any of the season. Prime cat
tie not In heavy supply, and although he rain
hurt the market trade ruled better than for

SPECIAL NOTICES,
Ccntaur Liniment.

There is no pain which the Centaur Lini-
ment will not relieve no swelling it will not
subdue, and no lameness which it will not
cure. This is strong language, but it is true.
Where the parts are not gone, its effects are
marvellous. 1t has produced more cures OF
rheumatism, neuralgia, ,lock-jaw, palsy, ,sprains,
swellings, caked-breasts, scalds, burns, salt
rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon the human frame,
and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &C., upon animals
in one year than have all other pretended
remedies since the world began. 1t is coun-
ter-irritant, an all-healing pain relieyer.-
Cripples throw away their crutches the lame
walk. poisonous bites are rendered harmless
and the wounded are healed without scar
It is no humbug. The recipe is published
around each bottle. 1t selling as no article
ever before sold. and it sells because it does
lust what it pretends to do. Those who now
suffer from rheumatism, pain or swelling de-
serve to suffer if they will not use Centaur
Liniment. More than 1000 certificates of re-
markable cures, including frozen limbs, ,chron-
ic-rheumatism, govt, running tumors, &C,
have been received. We will send circular
containing certificates, the recipe, &C., gratis,
to any one requesting it. One bottle of the
yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth
one hundred dollars for spawned or sweenied
horses and mules. or for screw-woTm in sheep.
Stock-owners-this liniment is worth your at
tentIon. No family should be without Cen
taur Lniment. j. B. ROSE & Co., New York.

Democratic Corruption.

LANCASTER, o., August 16.
The Goldman Investigation of the
Fairfield County matters has raised
considerable excitement in this COM
munity. James ". Towson was ar
rested on Thursday night about 10
o'clock, on the charge of larceny and
embezzlement of funds to the amount
of S4,100. Towson las been Deputy
Auditor of this county for thirty-five
years, and has heretofore borne an ex-
cellent reputation. AT the time of the
arrest he acted the man, saying he was
guilty, and tad better go. His bail
was placed at $4,000, which failing to
give, the ungrateful Mayor sent him
up. The total amount which the
county is short may be reimbursed by
s142,545 IL.
There are one or two other individ-
uals here whose names have not yet
been mentioned that are very nervous
and very anxious to know what the
report says.

seem to have in charge and direct all
manner of mischievOus sport, and the
like, set upon couple of boys from the
country, on Saturday, for the purpose
Of destroying their peace of mind, and
taking possession of an OK cart. The
country boys bore their insults until
patience ceased to be a virtue, when
they attempted to defend themselves
as best they could; they were over
powered by force of numbers. How
ever, they complained to the Mayor,
who issued warrant for the "fast"
young men, three in number, who
were compelled ito leave about three
dollars each, to be placed to the credit
of the corporation fund, and to give
bond in the sum of one hundred dol
lars for their good behaviour. We do
not desire to hurt the feelings of our
young friends, but really, boys, if you
don't keep out of such disgraceful
scrapes We'll put you in print.
