Fatal aIAcc;dant.

A special telegram from Youngstown
to the Cleveland Herald on the 10th inst,

HARTVULE.

Wheat harvesting is over and the crop
is fine, and the sons of men are rejoicing
over the beunteous yield.
Since our last contribution several
thefts have taken place in the village.
Dollenberger & Co. had watch stolen out
of their store, but the thief was soon
found and the watch recovered, and the
costs, which amounted to about $l2, were
paid by the juvenile offenders father.
Don't steal again, my lad, but if you want
a watch, earn some money and buy one.
Geo. Machamer's money drawer was
also found minus several dollars one even
ing. shortly after the above occurrence.
Thief not known.
ID. c. Hoover, of this vicinity, has
been enforcing the law restraining cattle
from running at large on the public high
way. Now if somebody else will require
people to muzzle their dogs II came pretty
near writing hogs); well, hogs, too, be-
cause I counted twenty-five in one drove
on the public highway, not over a quar-
ter of mile from the village, and they
do more damage than the poor mans cow.
If anybody has the pluck to do this. they
will invoke the naledictions of some per-
haps, but the benediction of other people.

"GRAND REAPER TRIAL Under this
head the Fort Wayne, md, Sentinel
discourseth as follows: 1880 ---
1--WE attended yesterday an interesting
Reaper trial on the farm of Mr.. John
Black, on the Ridge Road, five miles from
the city. The rain of the morning delay
ed the commencement. of the trial till
o'clock, at which time the different ma
chimes entered the field in the following
order: Buckeye, S. s., Smiek, agent, first;
Russell-Prouty, ShOrdon & Co., agents,
second Ghampion-B. Hettker, agent,
third; Dodge-D. Nelson, agent, fourth;
Wood-A. S. Taylor, agent, fifth. The
Trial was instituted by the Buckeye agent,
and made for the sale of machines to Mr..
Joshua Stapleton and Mr.. John Black,
and to show the working OF the machines
to farmers generally. The heavy and
side draft of the Buckeye was at once no.
ticed by all present, and the sheaVes show
ed that the drafts were disadvantage.
The reel was also objectionable.
The main objection to the Champion
was its cutting off the heads of the wheat
and was spoken of as not laying very
straight bundle. The construction of the
Champi in its low wheels with cog
gearing, is not equal to some Of the other
machines,
The Dodge machine did tolerably fair
work in laying bundles, but cut off the
heads of wheat, and its draft Is heavier
than the Russell, which machine has the
| lightest draft of all represented.
The Wood agent admitted that he 'was
doing good scattering"
| The Russell entered the field knowing
its advantages, and confident Of being
able to do the best work in everything.
From the beginning its very light draft
attracted the attention of the farmers, and
many of them were there, who also noticed
/ its straight bundles. Each machine was
followed round the field and all work ex-
i amined with an eye to business. If a
machine would not cut clean, or would
cut off the heads of the wheat, or would
scatter, it was spoken of at once If q
machine had heavy or light sidedraft, II
was noticed at once None of these, eX-
cept that the draft was "hghtest Of G1lg
] machine here" were chargeable to the
Russell. 1t did the work of well-con.
tested trial with honor, and stands ahea
in every particular, of any machine com
peting yesterday. 1t made itself favor
ite, and was acknowledged by nearly al
parties on the field at the close Of thi
trial to be the best machine. And upon
this decision, Mr.. John Black and MI
Joshua Stapleton each bought Russell!
This is a victory, and its agents no doub
feel proud of its results.

our sHstem OF Practice.

The medical world has become divided into so
many different cliques, isms and pathies, that our
peculiar system OF practice may need some ex-
PLANTATION.
We treat ALI chronic diseases upon the most
scientific principles of Urino-pathology and Ra-
tiOnal medicine. ~
Our remedies are principally vegetable dis
carding the use of Calonlel or Mercury IN any
form - . -.. =
Our mode of detecting diseases is by ocular
chemical and microscopic examination of the
urine. By these scientific investigation We are
enabled to detect the most obscure diseases and
to prescribe the remedies in Accordance with the
true nature of each particular case. 49, - -
Therefore We invite all those laboring under
lingering diseases, who have not been cured be-
cause perhaps their complaints were not pro
perly understood, to send us vial of urine for
examination and have the necessary medicine
sent them. p<
This can be done by express tnot by ymail.) Our
practice in this way extends all over the United
states. Our charge for examinations and medi-
cines furnished ranges from THREE to TEN dollars.

REAPING MAcHNEs-Therei is, s,perhaps,
no one article that has engaged the atten-
tion and receives as much of the time of
inventors and manufacturers of agricuI-
tural implements, as the Reaping Ma
chine. For thirty years inventors have
labored to perfect a machine that would
answer the two-fold purpose of mower
and reaper, and they have finally sue
ceeded IN producing machine that is q
complete reaper and mower We spent q
short time IN wheat field east of the city,
on Monday last, where the Russell Self
Rake" was IN operation, and In our hum
bic Judgment 1t is sll that could be desired
as reaper In any kind of grain, light
or heavy, whether lodged or standing,
rough or smooth ground, it cuts perfectly
clean, not leaving stock; besides, it is
light running, easy on horses. and not La
bic to get cut of order. There is one
feature of this machine that is particular
ly impertant,-an attachment for lower
ing and raising the knives, or cutter bar,
which Is done by the driver merely NOV
ing crank, there being no necessity to
stop the machine for that purpose, but is
readily adjusted to suit light or heavy
grain, or rough or smooth ground. These
machines are manufactured by the widely
known firm Of @. Russell & Co., Canton,
Ohio, and we are pleased to know that the
demand for them Is large and constantly
increasing.
Mr.. Wm. K. Miller, a leading member
of the firm of C. Russell & Co., Is entitled
to the credit of many of the valuable i'm
provements recently added to the ma
chine. - MdSSILkO1 AMERICAN
