SHOWER-Rev. John F. Shower was born in
1898, and died in Jackson, Jackson county, o.
May IS, 1873, in the S0th year OF his age.
Mr.. Shower was native of Pennsylvania OF
his early history but little is known. 1t appears
that he moved to Ohio at an early day, and set
tied in or near Royalton, where he remained
for several yeals.
He afterward removed to Pickerington, Fair
field Co., Ohio, at which place his wife died.
leaving in his charge ten children, of whom
eight are stin living. "a s-',
About the year 1910 he removed to Macarthur.
Vinton county, and in the fall of 1919 he came
to Jackson, where he spent the remainder of
his days.
AS a citizen and neighbor, Mr.. Shower was
highly esteemed all who became acquainted
with him having confidence in his integrity
and honesty of purpose AS a father he was
kind and attentiveto the interest and welfare
of his children and succeeded in raising his
family to become useful members of society
His religious life was marked with earnestness
and devotion to the cause of morality and re-
ligion. He has been heard to say that at the
early age of Ii he was converted, and felt the
power of saving grace. 1t appears that, when
about Is years of age he was admitted to men,
bership, and received license to preach in the
Albright church.
Soon after this, he became a member of and
preacher in, the United Brethren church in
which capacity he continued for some years, 5
About the year 1870, or 1871, he Joined the N.
e. Church, and ON the 10th day of Sept. lSa9.
white the Ohio Conference was in session in
Portsmouth, o., he was ordained deacon by
Bishop Scott, and continued in that relation
until his death.
AS member of the church, and minister of
the gospel, Father Shower manifested for many
years n strong desire to lead holy and blame
less life, and for some time before his death, he
would express his belief that the time of his de-
parture was nOaT ut hand, and that his sun Of
life was fast declining.
A few days before his death, he was asked to
give some expression of his hope in.the future.
His reply was az trust i'm Jesus. His grace has
been sufficient for me thus far, and he win be
with me to the end"
He retained his Aental faculties to the last.

His funeral took place at the NJ. e. Church.

The report of the Grand Jury is pretty
rough on Sheriff Hubbard as jailer. 1t
is perhaps right that the other side should
also be heard. The Sheriff informs US
that one of the cells had not been used
for some months, and the lock had been
out of order, and he could not get in.
He admits that dust and dirt had accu-
mulated in this cell, but no one had been
confined therein. He says that some of
the insane persons are very filthy, and
soon get their mattresses dirty, and there
is no way to clean them, and in order to
be replaced very often.

We notice that the Valley House is undergo
ing a thorough renovation, being rooted with
iron and in few days will be renovated from
bottom to top, and will be opened by the first

tended by James B. Palmer.
The public may rest assured that no pains
will be spared to make all comfortable who
may patronize the house. The stable has been
reconstructed and the best attention will be
given to horses boarding by the day or week. at
reasonable prices.

Another valuable and important coal
discovery has been made. Mr.. Tripp
owns some land on the southwest side of
town, and he has had boring made near
the line between his land and the farm
of Mr.. Washam, and very fine vein of
the shaft coal has been found. We under
stand that Mr.. Tripp has the option to
purchase Mr. Washam's farm, and the
coal under the lands of Mr.. Loft. He
will probably see to having a furnace
erected in that locality. This discovery
of coal confirms our opinion formerly ex-
pressed, that the shaft coal extends all
the way to Gilliland vein, in Hamilton
township L. P. N Smith of jackson
Furnace is building new furnace, to be
operated with that coal, and we hope to
live to see the day when a railroad will
reach from Jackson to Jackson Furnace
and thence to the Ohio river. at or near
Sciotoville, lined all the way from Jack
son to Jackson Furnace, with new stone
coal furnaces.

Randall Academy.


THE following was crowded out last
week.
The closing exercises of the past term
at Randall Academy were followed last
Friday afternoon by an interesting liter
airy entertainment by the pupils; and in
the evening a large audience assembled
at the Academy, and listened to an adj
dress by Rev. -Parmelee, of Hamden.
Mr.. Parmelee chose as subject the fact
that individual persons and individual
communities have abilities peculiar to
themselves; and announced, as a leading
proposition, that although all have abili-
ties in many different directions which
may be developed more or less, yet the
way to achieve valuable success is by cul-
tivating that peculiar power which is
most prominent, that is, by making ad-
vancement in that direction in which
nature has already placed you fartherest.
The application of this principle to the
school interests of this vicinity is appar-
ent in this, that the people of Berlin will
accomplish the most in an educational
direction by casting their entire influence
in favor of the Academy, which is decid-
edly their fartherest point Of advance
ment and strongest power, education
ally.
It would be profitable to the readers of
the STANDARD were / to give them a syn
opsis of this truly excellent discourse
which has drawn forth many favorable
comments, and gave great satisfaction to
the friends of the Academy.
Rev. Mr.. Gibson, of Jackson, followed
the address by few pointed and timely
remarks, and, after singing, Rev. Mr..
Stewart pronounced the benediction.
The condition of the Academy has been.
greatly improved and its prospects bright
ened under the care of the present prin-
cipal, Rev. 7. E. Peden, who deserves the
gratitude of the community for his earn
est, self-sacrifcing labors in behalf Of
their educational interests.

will remain for few days longer He
and his assistants give an entertainment
on the streets every night, which is vastly
amusing. Then they sell their medicines,
and if any one is afflicted they treat him
gratuitously. They sell their medicines
at fifty cents and one dollar per bottle,
and in all cases offer to refund the money
if the medicines do not perform all they
claim. This is certainly fair. They have
sold large number of bottles, and in no
instance have bottles been returned and
the money demanded. Mr.. Aleshire, one
of the oldest citizens of this township, in
forms us that his son, who had been af-
ficted with neuralgia, has found great
relief from the use of the California Veg
etable Oil. Mr.. George Coy, of Liberty
township, was afflicted with lame back
for the past eleven years, and by few
applications of the California Oil has
found great relief

in this place for the sale of these medi-
cines, and after Dr. Tracy leaves, the
medicines can be had at Hale's @

| Medical Poisons the Wane.
] Thepatriarchs took d o mercury, Il bfsnIuth
no iodine, no bromide of potassium, no strych-
Oria, no quinine. Happy old gentlemen! they
did not even know of the existence of these
"speclhcs," and yet they lived until it seemed
as II Death had forgotten them. Their medi-
cines were herbs and roots. They have left
this fact on record, and the world now seems to
be now taking note of it and returning to the
first principles of medication. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the purest and most eficacious
vegetable restorative of the day, is also the most
popular. Thousands of persons who only few
years ago believed implicitly in all the poisons
which figure in the pharmacepia, now pro-
nounce this palatable tonic and Alternative
aIl-suff1cient remedy for dyspepsia, nervous de-
biIity, constipation, bilious complaints, head
ache, intermittent fevers, and all ordinary dis
turbances of the stomach, the liver, the dis
charging organs and the brain. The time is not
far distant when most of the powerful and ven
OmOus drugs now so recklessly administered by
practitioners of the "heroic'' school, in cases
that might easily be controlled by milder treat
ment, will be utterly discarded by all philo.
sophieaI physicians. As it is the thinking pub
lie, who are generally ahead of the professionals,
have already put the dangerous preparations
aside and adopted Hostetter's BitterS in their
stead as safe and excellent household medi-
cine, adapted to almost every ailment except
the organic and deadly contagious diseases.
OF more imam twenty years thlS famous festora"
tive and preventive has been annually strength
ening its hold upon the public confidence, and
it now takes the lead of every advertised medf-

The New StOre.-Riee & Colvin, who have

One advantage in trading at new establish
ment is, til at the proprietors must give good bar
gains, or the old established houses will always
keep ahead of tlen. So we would advise all
to try the new house of Rice & Colvin.
