Scientific.

CAMPHoR. is a powerful
agent, and in moderate doses is capa-
bic of doing much mischief. 1t is q
matter of wonder that SO few instances
of injury result, considering its wide
spread, empirical employment.
Camphor is brought to this country
in crude or impure state, and here it
is subjected to the process of distilla-
ton to render it fit for employment.
The camphor of commerce comes
from Formosa, Sumatra, Borneo, Japan,
and China. 1t is obtained in crystalline
masses already formed, and also in
grains by distillation. The tree which
produces the former kind is near rela-
tive of our Eastwood, which we know
as a charming tree, perfuming the air
and yielding the finest honey In the
world. 1t grows on the Diri Mountains
in Sumatra, and in Borneo. 1t towers
upward more than hundred feet, and
has been known to attain girth of fifty
feet. The spirited persuasion of the
axe draws from this forest monster the
white treasures secreted in the longi-
tudinal fissures in its heart wood, some
times, though rarely, in layer as large
as mans arm, but more frequently in
small fragments to be carefully ex-
tracted by some sharp pointed instru-
ment. 1t is not an abundant bearer.
Twenty pounds is a rare yield for great
tree ten pounds is a good harvest from
one of medium size, and many are felled
and split that furnish no camphor.
This, however, is not an entire waste,
since the wood is easily worked and is
never attacked by the voracious myriads
of Eastern insects which destroy all
other varieties except the the teak and
calambuco. House and ship timber are
made from it, besides many articles of
furniture, and the aromatic trunk is
extremely valuable to the housekeepers
of our colder climate. This kind of cam
phor seldom finds its way to Europe
and America. The Chinese ascribe
to it marvellous medicinal properties,
and pay for it enormous sums, thereby
securing the entire yield.
Common camphor is obtained by dis
tillation from the root, stem, and leaves
of certain species of laurace0, but more
especially from the taurus caDphOra.
OF this, also, there are two varieties.
The Chinese or Formosa camphor is
carried in iunks to Canton and there
packed in square chests lined with lead,
whence it is sent to the different Eastern
ports, where We procure it. 1t is of a
grayish color with grain like sugar,
and usually unattractive in appearance.
The Dutch or Japan camphor is pre-
pared in Batavia, is packed in tubs Sc
curely matted, is pinkish in hue, and
coarser than the Chinese. Both kinds
need publication before using.
Camphor is slightly soluble in water,
but yields freely to alcohol, acetic acid,
ether, and the essential oils. A pretty
experiment may be tried with it, which
the young people will find amusing.
Scatter few pieces of clean camphor
upon pure water, and they will whirl
and sail about, keeping up the dance
sometimes for hours. Drop among
them some greasy matter and the merry
little performers will stop ON the i'll
slant. Scientific american.

There is no pain which the Centaur Liniment
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 part
is not gone, its effects are marvellous. 1t has
produced more cures OF rheumatism, neuralgia,
lock-jaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, caked-
breasts, scalds, burns, salt rhuem, ear-achc,
&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 counter-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. 1t Is no humbug. The
ecipe is published around each bottle. 1t is
selling as no article ever before sold, and it sells
because it does just what it pretends to do
Those who now suffer from rheumatism, pain
or swelling. deserve to suffer if they will not
use Centaur Liniment More than 1000 certifl-
Gates Of remarkable cures, including frozen
limbs, chronic rheumatism, gout, running tu-
mors, &c, have been received We will send
circular containing certificates, the recipe,

DIE p.

Feb. 18th, 1873, at the residence of her son
William Henry Gillian, in Nevada, WyandOtt
county, Ohio, of paralysis, Mrs. MARY DON
LEY, aged Is years.
The weary spirithas fed; the worn and was
ted form has been committed to the tomb
with solemn rites" Ashes to ashes, dust to
dust"-a brief notice of her long life and our
sad task is done.
She was of Scotch parentage, being the
daughter of James and Rebecca Kennedy; was
born in Allegheny Co., Pa, on the left bank OF
the Youghioghouy River, short distance
above .McKeesport. In 1917 she was united in
marriage with William Gillian, of Peters Greek
Of the same county. They resided in this Vi
cinity until they removed to Holmes Co., Ohio,
1888. Soon after marriage she, with her hus-
band, united with the Presbyterian church OF
Lebanon, under the pastoratc of Rev. Thomas
Baird, of Pittsburgh; was afterwards connec-
ted successfully with the churches of East
Hopewell, Berlin, and Shreve, Of the Presby-
terry of Wooster. To the close of life she con
timed to be warmly attached to the church oil
her choice. f
Having lost her husband by death in 1871
she was afterwards married to Mr. John Don
ley. But in n few years she was bereaved of .
husband second time, and was a widow fol
twenty years previous to her death She was
the mother of seven children, only three o.
whom survive her. She was confined to he,
couch for eight months previous to her death
but her life Of toll and suffering closed calmly
And now the great world will move on as be-
fore, but to some it will never be what it wa,
once. The loss of a mother is irreparable.
Hope can only look beyond the grave.

ty, having lived in the Kllbuck valley for s.
years. He was suddenly called away to his re

Lake Erie, Wooster Il Muskingum Val.
lev Railroad.

The committee on right of way have
for the last three weeks been at work on
the northern end of the route, in Lorair
and Medina counties, and report to COM
plete all that remains between this place
and La Grange within week.
They report excellent success, nearly
half the distance being granted as a do
nation, and when compensation is re-
quired, it is almost invariably accepted
in the stock of the company at money
rates per acres for the land occupied.
AS matters stand, we can see but a
small chance for failure of the enter
prise. The directory, while working
cautiously, are nevertheless pushing
their arrangements with all the vigor
consistent with certainty, and propose
to leave no gap open to be filed possi-
bley by "good luck" or perchance the
reverse.
We do verify believe that another
winter will find Wooster with at least
two additional connections by main
trunk lines with the Atlantic cities, as
well as the coal mines of Holmes
county, and, judging by the material
aid already extended by the citizens
along the line, in the way of the stock
subscriptions, we are confident they
will quickly respond to any small de-
mand that in the general footing up of
resources may be found lacking, to in
sure the completion of the enterprise.
The plan by which the projectors are
working, if carried out cannot fail to
make every dollar of the original stock
worth at least two within a few years
after the completion of the road, and
simply as an investment we believe it
to be the best thing now in our market.

ADVANCE PAYMENT.

The credit system in the newspaper
business scatters small sums of money
aggregating a large amount to eacl
publisher, over vast extent of country
rendering collection from tardy debtor
next to impossible and is therefore pro
ductive of great loss to publishers.
Paper, ink, labor and all other sources
of expenditures in newspaper Offices
require cash.
Better papers can be published when
paid for i'm advance than when the pro-
prietors are pressed for money to NEE
the daily demands made upon them.
There is little doubt that a law o.
Congress will, in few months, requir,
postage to be paid on all papers sent
through the mails, and that it must bt
paid in advance by the publishers.
In view of the foregoing, and Other
considerations which it is not deemed
necessary to enumerate, the under
signed, publishers of the Holmes Coun-
ty REPUBLICAN and Holmes County Far
nler, agree to adopt the pay-in-adyance
system, to send no papers from their
respective offices from and after the
FIRST DAY OF JULY NEXT,
unless the same be paid for in advance.

About Planting Trees.

An exchange, in speaking Of planting
trees, the time for which is so near at
hand, says those intending to put out
new orchards, or to replace old and
dead trees, should now be making neces-
sary arrangements. Where new or
chards are to be put out, the sooner the
trees are secured the better, so that
when the time for setting out arrives
no time need be lost. Many prefer to
procure their trees in the fall, and keep
them in sheltered place, or cover the
roots with earth in cool cellar, which
is doubtless preferable to waiting until
time to plant, and even after the start
ing of the buds before receiving them.
tits said that thousands Of trees in this
part of the State have been destroyed
the present winter. These should not
only be replaced but as many more
planted. Every homestead has room
for another tree or two of choice fruit,
and the small sum thus invested will
pay large per cent. Every good bear
ing fruit tree, especially in town, is
worth more to family than would be
a hundred dollars at interest, yet it can
be secured by a few cents and little
labor and care. 1t is not only a good
pecuniary investment, but it adds to the
comfort and appearance Of the home
stead. A home is never more attract
i've than when surrounded by plenty of
choice fruit, and if for sale will COM
mand a much better price than bar
rem homestead. The first question a
buyer of homestead in these days asks,
is as to the water and fruit. If these
are all right, your bargain is half made.
Shade trees and ornamental shrubs
should also be part of and surround
every home.

SDriug RonuafS-

Spring bonnets are larger than those
of the winter. The crown is well de-
fined, square, and high enough to hold
a towering coifiure. Flat and rolled
brims are both important; it is proba-
BILE that fiat brims will be fashionable,
as rolled coronets have been worn for
several seasons. There are also many
half-and-half brims that have rolled
fronts and recede on the back.
Most of the new shapes may be used
either as a round hat or bonnet; a pail
of strings tied under the chin are al
that is necessary for the change. Leaves
and flowers of straw in clusters, witt
long fern leaves of finely-cut jet, are
the newest ornaments for spring bon
nets. These straw and jet leaves alst
appear with flowers of natural colors,

and being illuminated with the glow of
perfect health from within, true beauty
stands forth in all its glory. Nothing
ever presented to the public as beau
tifier of the complexion ever gave such
satisfaction for this purpose as this Dis
cOvery. The effects of all medicines
which operate upon the system through
the medium of the blood are necessarily
somewhat slow, no matter how good
the remedy employed. While one to
three bottles clear the skin of pimples,
blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, COM
edones or "grubs," a, dozen may possi-
bly, be required to cure some cases
where the system is rotten with scrofli-
lous or virulent blood poisons. The
cure of all these diseases, however, from
the common pimple to the worst scrof-
ula is, with the use of this most potent
agent, only matter of time. Sold by
