Tho Kohlcr Reduction Works formally
opened their Offices i'll this city this week.
The company have purchased Damon's
Landing, six miles southeast of Oakland,
on which to erect buildings. A switch
track will be run from Oakland, and a
station erected at the works. Some 40 or
more laborers are now at work ON the
ground, and by September everything will
be ready for the reduction of ores. 1t is
estimated that the cost of putting the works
in operation amounts to $3.50, 900; over $780,
600 having already been expended. We
will shortly have detailed description Of
these works and the manner of operating.
The company propose to purchase ore and

Every inyenrion that can be produced,
and every suggestion that science can make,
has been applied in the manufacture Of the
new Atlantic cable. The core Of the new
strand is composed OF thick copper wire
encircled by eleven fine wires of the same
substance, covered with four coatings of
gutta pcrcha. The coatings gutta percha
are applied while it is warm and in dough-
like condition. Additional strength and
protection are given to the central core by
sheathing of MANILA hemp. The whole
core is wrapped by ten iron wires, each of
which is hemp coated, and the hemp coating
is saturated with preparation of tar.
These having been put together, the whole
is wrapped in Italian hemp for double Sc
curity. The gutta percha is a preventive
against the ravages of the mollusks, their
attacks on this substance being futile. If
successfully laid the new cable will in all
probability afford uninterrupted communi-
cation, whatever may befall the other lines.

AT Elko, New. there are hot springs in

about, though the water is 50 hot that eggs
are cooked in less than three seconds:
The explanation of this phenomenon l,cs IN
the fact tLat these hot springs rise in the

of its greater specific gravity, runs on the

Forest Fires.-Wood County has suffered
severely from forest fires, and along the line
Of the Atlantic and Lake Erie railroad, where
5000 oak and ash ties had been piled, they
were all consumed. Along the line of the
Lake Erie and Louisville Railway, g great
many pieces of woods have been burned over,
and at Fostoria considerable apprehensious
were felt for the safety of the town. In SEN
eca County the fires have been mainly con-
fined to swamps, and near Bloomville were SO
fierce that danger to the town was appre-
hended. Near Plymouth, in Huron County,
the pigeon RoosP has bean burned over, and
the cranberry marshes likewise, while the
woods in many places were burning Much
timber has been destroyed in Hancock Coun-
ty, and extensive fires have prevailed near
Port Clinton, in ottawa County, and also near
Genoa and Elmore. In the Big Woods Of
Henry County, the fire has been fierce and ex-
tsnsiVe, and has driven many deer out of the
woods. Putnam County also has suffered
much damage. In this county, but little
comparative loss has been occasioned, but in
Washington township, and in Madison, con-
siderable loss has occurred. In many cases,
if not all, these fires can be traced to the care
lessness of hunters, and we should have
more stringent law in regard to such tres
passers.

GRATITUDE.
The following letter speaks for itself:
MONROE. MICH. Sent. %. IS7.

Dr.. WmFoRD, l42 St. Clair street, Toledo,
Ohio. Dear Sir:-When one man confers a
favor upon another it is only right that the
recipient of the favor should, in some appro-
pirate way, express his sense Of obligation.
This is more emphatically the case when the
favor has involved the saving Of life and the
conferring Of happiness.
For many years my wife has been the VIC
tim of neuralgia, dyspepsia and other dis
tressing complaints. l obtained the aid Of
physicians at home and at a distance, spsring
neither expense, pains nor time in my efforts
to have her health restored. It was all in
vain. Although obtaining temporary relief, a
permanent cure seemed impossible, and she
became more and more emaciated from in
tense suffering. She was at length complete
Iv prostrated. Having been informed of your
success in the treatment of chronic diseases,
obtained your aid, and the result has been the
complete restoration of Mrs. Brown to health.
She is now able to give personal supervision
to domestic affairs and enjoys better health
than she has since childhood.
Mrs. Brown wishes me to express to you
her gratitude for what you have done for her,
and / cheerfully Join with her in thanking
YOU for the inestimable favor you have con-
rred.
feYou are at liberty to use this letter as you
think proper, Yours, very gratefully,
ALEXIS s. Brown.

"Now Is the Winter Of Our D1scon'
tent made Glorious
by the arrival of beautiful spring,
with it's balmy days, warm showers,
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and brightness
comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house
cleaning, painting, papering, white
washing, &C., to be done. For as
Nature awakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, so we, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could we follow than
hers ?
Now, such being the case, it is a
matter of the greatest Importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials of
the best quality, and at the same
time at the least cost. That 'the
best is the cheapest in the end" is a
fact accepted and acknowledged by
all. First it is the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more for
the labor to apply than poor mate
riaIs, and lastly, there is very little
difference in the first cost.
lam speaking now of paints in
particular. Do you want to paint
white? There is no better or cheap
er made than the Phoenix Brand of
Eckstein Hills & Co., for which I
am special agent,
It has now been tried in this city
and county for ten years, and never
for once, has it failed to give entire
satisfaction. And 1 do firmly be-
lieve and assert there is no better
lead made. For colored paints, for
cottages, &c, we have our own
colored paints, which, for durability
and eheapness, far excel all liquid or
chemical paints. Iney never Iade OF
peel, and retain their lustre for years
Zinc Paint, Graining ColOrs, Var
nishes, and Brushes to use them, al
ways on hand, of the best quality,
and at the lowest price. So much
for paints.
Now, after painting, the smoky
walls must be papered and decorated;
whitewash wont do, it rubs of, and
soon looks as bad as ever. Ihave the
largest and best variety of Wall Pa
per ever brought to this city, which
must be sold at the lowest prices.
Now this is saying good deal, butif
you think of papering, don't buy un-
til you look at my samples, and you
will be convinced that this statement
is true. But doyou ask where is this
place +? Where are such bargains to
be had ? And where only are the
best goods kept2 Why! Where
else than at McCulloch's old and
reliable Drug Store! Established Sc

Missouri, Kansas 6 Texas R'y.

The completion of the great iron
bridge over the Missouri River al
Boonville, enables this popular line
to offer still better facilities for the
business between the Northeast and
the great Southwest.
Two daily trains will be run be
tween Hannibal and points in the
great Neosho valley, in direct con-
nection with all lines. Also, two
daily trains between st. Louis and
points in Southern Kansas.
For the Texas trade, new and bet
ter facilities are offered. The rates
have been greatly reduced, and ar
rangements have been made whereby
through Pullman palace sleeping cars
are run from Chicago, Quincy, Han
nibal and st. Louis, to Galveston,
without change, passing through the
finest portion of Southwest Missouri,
Southern Kansas, the Indian Nation
and the most desirable portion of
Texas.

How Johnny Came Riding Home,


A certain laddie of our city-popular as he
Is genial-resolved to indulge country drive,
and obtaining the aequiesence of his better
half, obtained a nobby livery rig, in which
the two, with their happy offspring, were
duly ensconsed when away they went, re-
solved to visit whole-souled friend, six miles
out of town, in the neighborhood of Hess
vile. Here the animal was duly cared for,
while the good folks fraternizsd, until re-
minded by the shades of darkness that 'the
best Of friends must part and our laddie
went out and harnessed up, while 'ths folks
prepared for the home trip. The party again
mounted, and the usual 'good-by,' come
again and pleasant journey home,' having
passed, the ivery propeller glided slowly
away. With measured step the poor brute
evidenced symptoms of increasing reluctance
to respond to all prOmptings, and the laddie
began to fear all was not right. Not being
very highly vsrsed in natural history, and
less experiencedin the peculiarities of 'hosses,'
he puzzled his brain to come at the reason for
the miserable dragging or jogging along at |
AOH LILIES al nOurs OoulQ the morse De lame /
over fed-stone in its foot-had it a sore /
shoulder-was it fOoling him2 Two miles
of the road being got over, he stopped the
animal, made rigid examination, and again
mounted to resume command of the lines.
But the poor brute still showed evidence of
reluctance or declining strength. What could
be the matterf He had it-'that horse has
got the coIic,' said he, and visions of replacing
the loss, should it die while in his care, and
the horror of walking the remainder of the
road, induced him to go back the two miles,
call up his friend-obtain lantern, and the
two, in solemn conclavs, discussed the best
remedies they ever heard or read Of for collie.
Bran mesh-Whisky drench-turpentine ap-
plications and other restoratives were de-
cided upon; and now his friend proceeded to
take the horse out, that it might be cared for
properly in the stable; when loI he found the
Oleeching straps SO tight the animal could
not possibly stride. This being properly ad-
usted, our laddie came flying home with
light heart, but laying all the blame to the
powerful effect Of Reiling's institution upon
he atmosphere.

The following is specimen of the shrewd.
ness and general acuteness of Judge Wilmer.
The Courier of stweek says:
"The JoURNAL had out its flag yesterday,
out Of joy over the defeat of Oswald Often
dorfer, for Mayor of New York. We have
always believed Balsley favored the Know
Nothings."
Wasn't there some other German defeated,
sOmewhereP 1t is possible that our brother
could only discover one Germans defeat for
US to rejoice overT BAIL such tom-fooIery as
the above specimen exhibits, is a worthy en-
enation from an editor of such exhaustive
caliber as the Judge. He has nose for dis
covering "nigger in a wood pile" "Rest,
perturbed spirit rest" We only rejoiced that
the people, in their mad folly, had good sense
enough left to defeat Ben Butler. How re-
ieved our brother will feel when he learns
the truth about the matter. Visions of fspooks
and hobgobblins will vanish, and he win dis
cover that there is nothing like a German
Duke after all, for-lucidity.

It is Not Generally Known

That the shortest possible route between the East
and Great West is through st. Louis, over the St
Louis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line.
This road has gained surprising importance by
reason Of immense expenditures in the last two
years. Of over two million dollars besides earnings
in improvements Of roadway, in relaying their
line with best quality Of new steel and iron rails
on broad new ties and by substituting for ordinary
cars new reclining chair coaches elegantly carpeted
and fitted, with dressing rooms with toilet cOnven-
fences for ladies' gentlemen and families travelling
with children, SithOt any extra charge. This line
runs six fast Express trains between the Missis-
sipPi and the Missouri Rivers, two more than any
other road, and connects with all the great Land
Grsnt Roads in the West, and has adopted all mod
ern appliances for comfort, speed and safeguards
against accidents, including night ard day watch
men, who inspect the road before and after the
passage Of each train to see that everything is in
order. We recommend those contemplating q trip
West to take the St. Louis, Kansas City and North
ern Short Line, it being the only line running
through cars between st. Louis and Omaha and
for tickets over this excellent line refer our
readers TO any ticket agent selling through tickets
to the West. For map, circulars and time tables
address either Geo. D. Teller, Buffalo, n. Y; or
P. B. GrOat, st Louis, Mo-, either of whom will
turish any info rmatioR desired.
