none but need relief from its attacks.
Whoever can furnish this becomes our
benefactor. A convi,tion prevails that
DR. Aver does it. Disorders of TIE blood
have been healed by his Sarsaparilia,
and affections Of the lungs by his Cherry
Pectoral, too frequently and too dis
tinctly to be disputed. His Ague Cure

yond Millerstown, struck last Wednes-
day, and is a two hundred barrel
gusher. All eyes had been turned to
this we'll for the last month, as great
doubt existed in the minds of opera
tors as to the belts extending thus far
toward Pittsburg. Oil and the spirits OF
operators fell ten cents per barrel the
next twenty-hours after the striking of
this well. The Modoe, Greece City and
the Southern belt at Millerstown, has
been defined, but this one seems to be
inclined to lead producers to eternal
ruin. Mr.. Mead was born and raised in
this town, and his old friends wish him
luck, even if it is at the expense Of Il

WE take the following items from the
Emporium Independent:
hattlesnakes seem to be quite num-
erous hereabouts this season. Last week
George Hertig killed one of moustrous
size, that has sixteen rattles on his mar
rative, D Il Hacket another with twelve
rattles aud Charles Thayer one with
eleven. 1t is generally supposed that the
number of rattlcs attached to these var
mints indicates their age, and if this be
true the captured ones of last week were
real natives.
Potato Bugs by the Bushel.-An en-
terprlsiug farmer up Rich Valley in
this county gathered three bushels of
potato bugs, one day last week, and he
said it was poor day to gather them at
that. Should they continue to increase
here much longer we will soon be able
to compete with tie western farmers.
some of whom it is reported have
gathered sixteen bushel in a single day.

IT is fact worth knowing, but which

IT is fact worth knowing, but which
does not seem to be generally under
stood, that the amalgam of tinfoii with
mercury, which is spread on glass plates
to make looking-glasses, is very readily
crystalized By actiuic solar rays. A mir
ror hung where the sun can shine on it
is usually spoiled; it takes a granulated
appearance familiar to housekeepers,
though they may not lie acquanin ted
with the cause of the change. In such
