THE CENTENNIAL.
The Perm of the Invitation to sFor
eign Governments.

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-The fol
lowing is the form of the note adj
dressed by the Secretary of State 10
the representatives of foreign gov
ernments in the United States:
"DEPARTaIENr OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, July 5, 1874
"SIR.-I l have the honor TO in
close for the Information of the gov
ernment Of, a copy of the
Presidents proclamation, announc-
ing the time and place of holding an
international exhibition of arts, man
ufactuIes, and the products of the
soil and mines, proposed to be held
in the year 1876. The exhibition is
designed to commemorate the decla-
ration of the independence of the
Uni ed States, on the hundredth ami
yersary Of that interesting and his
tolical national event, and at the
same time present a fitting oppor-
tunity for such a display of the re-
suits of art and the industry of all
nations rs will serve to illustrate the
the great advances attained, and the
success achieved, and the interest of
progress and civilization during the
century which will have then closed.
"In the law providing for the hold
ing of the exhibition, Congress di-
rected that copies of the procloma-
ticn of the President, setting forth
the time Of its opening and the place
at which it is to be held, together
with such regulations as might be
adopted by the commissioners of the
exhibition, should be communicated d
to the diplomatic representatives OF
nations. Copies of the regulations
are herewith transmitted. The Pres
ident indulges in the hope that the
governmint of will be
pleased to notice the subject, and
may deem it proper TO bring the ex-
hibitiOn and its objects to the atten-
tion of the people of that country,
and thus encourage their co-opera-
tion in the proposed celebration ;and
he further hopes that the opportuni-
ty offered by the exhibition for the
interchange of national sentiment
and friendly intercourse between the
people of both nations may result in
still greater advantages to science
and industry, and at the same time
serve to strengthen the bonds of
peace and good friendship which al
ready happily subsist between the
government and people o.
and those of the United States.

FARMERS CLUB.
Speech of Hon. D. C. Richmond


The Farmers Club met at P NJ. on Satur.
day last, at the Court House, and was called
to order by the President. Minutes of last
meeting read and approved.
Hon. D. G. Richmond who had been in.
vited 10 address the Club, was introduced by
tho President, and delivered very interest.
ing address on the subject of Farmers Clubs,
and the education and condition Of farmers in
Ohio and in other countries.
The following is condensed statement of
his remarks:
MIR Richmond said he had no written ad-
dress, was not a public speaker, and could
only give some off hand remarks; he had
served All apprenticeship of forty years as a
workingman, and had some experience in
Farmers Clubs. The subject is ut present ex-
citing much attention in Ohio There arc at
at least seventy-five societies of this class now
in the State, and their number is increasing
They are doing much good by communicating
valuable information to farmers in an expe.
ditious way. Persons may have spent u long
time in learning how to grow a valuable crop,
but the method may be communicated to ali
members of the club IN a few minutes.
Men engaged in other kinds of business are
farmers are not united in this way. He said
owe have Farmers Club in Erie County
with which l have been connected for five
years. 1t was uphill business at frst: but after
organizing County Club which did some
missionary work, we organized township clubs
all OF which are now well sustained. We
usually commence our meetings at ten o'clock
and stay all day, taking dinner or lunch at
noon, and having afternoon exercises. Oar
ladies always attend with us and add Interest
TO our meetings,
One of our first difficulties was to got spehk-
ers, and we had to call them out by name, but
now there is no lack in that direction. Many
get excited on some subject at their township
clubs, and when they come to the County
Club they are ready to lead off. Berlin,
which has quite an intelligent community, al
ways furnishes speakers for our County Club
Township clubs are excellent to draw out
the experience Of farmers, and to teach

with hot air too often, At the sum-
NIT, where the canvass was sewn to-
gether, q block some ten or twelve
inches in diameter wss fastened, and
through a hole in this six guy ropes
were secured, hanging down over the
sides Of the balloon being at the bot
tom some seventeen feet apart, and
these were tied to the basket by the
Professor himself. There were no
ropes running around the balloon
horizontally to keep the guy-ropes
from slipping, or to prevent the
whole thing from sliding out be-
tween the ropes with a gust of wind.
Al 3:55 p. NJ. the Professor step
ped into the basket, and the balloon
took shoot up almost perpendicu
larly, with the professor swinging
his hat TO the crowd, all apparently
enjoying the sight. In few mo
mcnts more, however, the mouth of
the balloon was observed to wave
about two or three times, then to
pass between the ropes, careening
over on the side, when the ropes
broke out from their fastening at the
top, and the fall commenced. La
Montaine was noticed to be appar-
emily making some effort to get the
basket above HIM, and il possible to
break the fall,but after the first
struggle he fell so rapidly that moth
ing could be distinguished but the
falling body, his hat coming after
him, about 100 feet or more behind,
the old canvass nearly collapsed,
falling down gradually. The body
struck the ground half-a-dozen feet
from the northwest corner of the
Jail building. 1t Jared the ground
for fifty rods around, and made an
indention in the solid ground eight
inches in depth. There was scarce
ly a bone in the whole body not
broken in fragments. 1t was as limp
as rag. There were very few frac-
lures of the skin, except the right
foot, the bone of the right leg being
driven through the bottom of the
foot.
The body was laid out on couch,
circle formed, and a procession OF
all who wished to view the remains
passed around. The Professor is a
brother to the celebrated aronaut
who died two or three years ago.
This ones name was Edward La
Montaine. He was q jeweler by
trade, aud lived at Brooklyn, in this
State. Ee had said just before he
went up that he wished to take the
train for home as soon as possible
after coming down, as his wife was
very sick. He himself had not had
his clothes off for ten days.
There were from 10000 to 10000
people who witnessed this horrible
tragedy. He was seen by people
four miles from the city at an angle
of thirty-five degrees. The best es
Inmates make the hight from which
he fell, from 1000 to 1,500 feet.
Those who were on the hill back o.
the town said the strangest sight was
to witness the people swaying back
and forward like a field of wheat
moved by the wind.

''Be wise in time" The
first few hours after an at
tack of Cholera are the pre-
ciOus moments in which, if
the proper remedies are
promptly used, a cure can be
effected in almost every case.
But the old saying that 'fde-
lays are dangerous" is not
more true in any case than
in neglecting to promptly at
tack Cholera when it attacks
You. Now, what everybody
wants is a medicine that they
can rely upon, one in which
they can have perfect conf
denCe that should they have
occasion to use it, it will not
disappoint them. Such a
medicine is the CHOLERA
CORDIAL prepared by @. r.
MCOULLOCH. 1t has been
thoroughly tested. In 1852,
when the Cholera ragged so
fearfully all through our
country, in Sandusky City,
where so many died, it was
the means of saving huns
dreds of lives. A nurse who
was through most of the
Cholera in Sandusky told me
that he never failed to save
a patient with the Cholera
Cordial if taken within three
or four hours of the first at
tack, and thoroughly perse-
veredin. A brother who lived
in Sandusky, and made and
sold thousands Of bottles,
says of it: '.That with cool
ness and presence of mind,
and the Cordial promptly
used, Cholera need no more
be feared y
Iprepare the Cordial after
the original formula, and
scores of families in Fremont
can testify to its reliability
in Cholera MOrbus, and
many a case of Cholera has
been prevented by its timely
use. I feel that the Cholera
is a disease that should not
be trif1ed with, and that to
palm off upon the public a
medicine that cannot be re-
lied upon, would be leopard
izihg the lives of all who
used it, yet | offer this with
confidence, it having been so
thoroughly tried and proved
reliable.

The Wool Market

Yesterday two lots of wool were
sold on the streets in this city for
5I8 cents per pound. The current
price is from 40@43 cents per pound.
there is not enough wool in the mar
ket to meet the demand at the latter
price.-Akr0n Beacon.
New York-Wool more active.
Sales of new Ohio at 48QD50c; super
fine and extra pulled at 43@47:
secured at soc.
Over a million pounds Of domestic
fleece wool was sold in Boston last
week, and still the market did not
get even lively. The arrivals were
not heavy, and included some old
Ohio fleece. Sales went up to 524
cents for desirable lots, and the very
best picklock sold at 574 cents.
But the stock of most desirable
fleece is not in large quantity, in the
absence of which a great deal Of Cal
ifornia wool is taken at an advance
of a few cents on former rates.
Combing wool sells but little better
than Merino. AS TO what farmers
ought to expect in Ohio, for wool at
this time, we should say forty to
forty-fve cents is the top of the mar
ket.-OOir Farmer.
