At special election held on Saturday
last, A. H. Smith was elected to fill va
cancy in the present Board of Commits
sioners, caused by tie at the regular cleo
ton. Bassl Haines was elected Bailitf
and tax Collector.
The old elm tree beside Rittenhouse' s
store, yielded to the woodlands axe few
days ago. This was the only tree of the
kind in the place, and its removal drew
out a respectable crowd of our citizens and
a few from the surrounding country to
witness its destruction. Had it not been
harvest time full attendance would have
been on hand.
The recent storms have not caused much
damage about here, although the lightning
struck tree within a few feet of the resi-
dence of Barclay Reynolds; knocked the
point off lightning rod on his barn;
struck the house occupied by John Arm
strong, knocking some bricks from the
chimney top, knocking down stove pipo,
&c. Numerous trees We're struck, but for
tunately nobody was hurt.
Amos Ayles, son of Stephen Ayles, fell
off wagon at the depot and broke his
right arm, a few days ago. John McNutty
had the ends torn off couple of fingers
by having them caught in the rope of
hay fork.
The harvest, except OATS is generally
over Some have threshed wheat and pro-
nounce it a good crop. Corn is looking
very fine. Potatoes suffer some from the
bug, but there will still be small crop.
Fruit, except peaches, promise well.

A brilliant Record of Cures.

Unless his stomach differs from all other dyspeptic
stomaci, Hosettsr,s Biters will him in less than

any penalty. There few, very few actual spec

almost every conceivable species of torture
from this agonizng complaint have been permanently
cured with the Bitters in six weeks Hundreds Of such
instances record authenticated by the testimony
Of prominent men In every walk of life, eminent phys

4 stabbing ARRAY occurred a few even
ings since at Bay View Singing School be-

Janney, lads of some II or IA years of age.
Some old grudge existed between the par
ties, and they proposed to take it out, on
said occasion, when Benjamin went to
work dissecting Janney with his barlow
knife, making some three effective cuts,
viz, across the hand, arm and ribs. DR..
Housekeeper was summoned to attend the
case, and reports patient doing well.

by pair sitting on rail, afforded the
amusements or the day. In the evening

Dry Earth.-Farmers should not allow
the Summer and Fall to pass without avail
ing themselves of the opportunity to store
under cover sufficient quantity of dry
earth to keep covering one or two inches
in thickness spread on their stable floors,
over which coarse litter for bedding should
be strewn. AS fast as the earth becomes
saturated, it should be removed to manure
heap under cover and fresh dry earth sup
piled. Dried swamp muck, or marsh de-
posts is better than ordinary dry earth,
because the former contains large per
cent of vegetable matter, but ordinary dry
soil will answer the purpose of an absorb
ent and prevent the loss of much valuable
liquid manure, and supersede the necessity
of manure tanks and all the costly appara-
tus of saving manure SO often recon-
mended by agricultural writers. There is
no investment will pay the farmer better
than good supply of dry earth to use on
his stables floors. 1t will insure sweet,
clean stable and contribute to the health
of his stock, as well as increase his manure
