AT this time those who love ex-
citement are enjoying themselves
admirably, but when the elections
are over and the weather gets unfavor
able for base ball, pray what then
will we depend upon to keep our blood
in circulation, and gave us something
to think and talk about? We would
suggest the formation of military COM
pany; any branch of the service would
do, but We think a battery of light ar
tillery would finish exercise and
amusement for man and beast, and
further the members would be paid
for their services. Just think of it
awhile.
The Youngsville correspondent of
the Titusville Courier relates the fol.
lowing singular accident which hap
pened a few days since in Irvineton.
The daughter of Mr.. Lane of that
place four years of age strayed into

slowly. She was caught by the teeth,
carried over the saw, and thrown sew.

except two severe cuts, cne across the
leg, the other on the arm. DIR. Blodget
of that place was called, and under
his successful treatment she is rapidly
recovering.
"A. II. Partridge, our enterprising
furniture dealer is putting in founda-
tion for a house, facing Haslet's Store
on the Dutch Hill fork, which will, if
the plan is carried out, be both spa
cious and tasty. The main part is to
be 24x72 feet, with an ell 16x20, and
two stories in heighth. Messrs. Wal
ters and Joyce are at work on the
foundation, which, in addition to the
walls, includes culvert over Council
Run, which is being done in good
shape.
Col. Thomas new building, OF
which we have heretofore spoken, is to
be blacksmith shop and machine
shop combined. Klrt. johnson is
building a forge, which he says will

Thomas is contributing his part to.

Alex. Henage, having purchased
the Whit. Davis house, is finishing
and painting it, making a very fine
looking residence. Put paint where
it belongs aud it beauties and pre-
serves the article painted. Put il
where it shouldn't be, and it looks
well for time, bat at last destroys
that which it first beauties.
Primary Election day was marked
by few attempts at fighting, which
were not allowed co culminate. The
great fault with our primaries in town
is, that the people take such lively
interest in them, that they do no
brook opposition very we'll. Time
will tone down all these differences.
Several good crossings have beer
put in on Elm St. during this summer

Nil DeSperandum.

A real healthy man or woman is a rarity; and what wonder? when we realize that it is the custom to overload the stomach, and then produce chronic disease by the use of spirituous liquors, "Tonics," Appetizers," " Restera- tives," etc. Having first produced dis ease by indiscretion, the victim wonders why "nothing does him good" Just so and the reason is that they all, or nearly all, find basis ill alcohol-oR POISON. To all thus discouraged we can conscientiously say, "make one more trial" Discard spirituous medicines, and give NATURE a chance, aiding her in the struggle by using one of her own pure and unadulterated herb remedies, in the shape of VINEGAR BrrTEns. The discoverer, DR. J. WALKER, of Cali fornia, is no pretender, but an honorable practicing physician. and his discovery is the result of years of labor and study. The wonderful cures effected by them of Dyspepsia, Fevers, Rheumatism, and many other terrible diseases, are almost incredible.-Cona

Fortune Made by a Waistcoat:

Some people have fancy for fine waistcoats. This taste was more com. mon in my young days than it is now. Stirring public events were apt to be celebrated by patterns of waistcoats to meet the popular fancy. I remember that the capture of Mauritius, at the close of 1910, was followed by the fash ion of wearing waistcoats speckled over with small figures shaped like that island, and called Isle of France waist coats. It was galling thing for the French prisoners of war on parole to be confronted with these demonstrations. At court, highly ornamented waistcoats have been the fashion for generations. George, Prince of Wales, while Regent, was noted for his affection for this rich variety of waistcoats, and thereby hangs Q tale. His royal highness had an i'm mense desire for waistcoat of 8 par ticular kind, for which he could dis cover only piece of stuff insufficient in dimensions. It was French mate rial, and could not be matched ill Eng land. The war was raging, and to pro- cure the requisite quantity of stuff from Paris was declared to be impracticable. At this juncture one of the prince's at- tendants interposed. He said he knew a Frenchman, M. Bazalgette, carrying on business in one of the obscure streets of London, who, he was certain, would undertake to proceed to Paris and bring away what was wanted. This oblIging tailor was forthwith commissioned to do his best to procure the requisite material. Finding that 0 chance had occurred for distinguishing himself and laying tho foundation of his fortune, the Frenchman resolved to make the attempt. It was hazardous affair, for there was no regular communication with the coast of France, unless for let ters under cartel. Yet, Bazalgette was not daunted. If he could only land safely in boat, all would be right. This, with some difficulty and maneuv- ring, he affected. As pretended refu- gee back to his own country, he was allowed to land and proceed to France. Joyfully he was able to procure the quantity of material required for the Prince Regents waistcoat and not less joyfully did he manage to return to London with the precious piece of stuff wrapped around his person. Tho waistcoat was made, and so was the tailor's fortune and that of his family. Robert Chambers.

A Wrong Custom Corrected.

It is quite generally the custom to take strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver complaint and both the mineral and vegetable kingdoms have been diligently searched to procure tho most drastic and poisonous purga- tlves, in order to procure powerful effect upon the liver, and arouse the tagging and enfeebed organ. The system of treatment is on the same principle as that of giving weak and debllitated man large portions of brandy to enable him to do a certain amount of work. When tho stimulant is withheld, the organ like tho system gradually relapses into c more torpid or sluggish and weakened condition than before. What then is wanted7 Medi- cines, that, while they cause the bile to flow freely from the liver as that organ is toned into action, will not overwork and thus debili- tate it, but will when their use is discontinued, leave tho liver strengthened and healthy.

A Sharp Appeal.

Dr. Lewis at New York temper ance meeting, told the story of the crusade in Xenia, Ohio. "After a mass meeting 200 women started on the war path, and attacked "The Shades of Death" kept by one Phillips. They sang their campaign song, "Nearer, my God, to thee," It is the only thing that takes hold of the liquor dealers soul. With "All hail the power of Jesus natne'' it works wonders. The first day Phillips, a round, jolly, portly fellow, who can tell hundred stories Q night and make everybody roar, stood in the doorway, his thumbs in the arm holes of his vest, and said, "Go it, ladies. l can stand it as long as you can. Your whining and bowling won't interrupt business-legitimate business. l will sit down when I grow tired" The second day Phillips stood with his hands deep in his pockets and his head bowed down, and the third day he threw up his arms, cried 'I surrender" and from every church tower in Xenla the bells changed out the signal of the first victory, and cheer after cheer went up to heaven, and the ladies sang "Praise God from whom all blessings fow." They raided "Hell's Half Acre." "The Mules Ear," and other famous saloons, and only twenty-five of the original one hundred dram shops remain in Xenia. He thought all would be closed within two weeks, with, perhaps, one exception. It was very hard to close the last one. The Cin- cinnati liquor dealers are ready to offer one or two thousand dollars to the last man in every large town, and agree to supply liquor free for Q year if he will

Brilliant Success.

It is permitted to few men or com panies to achieve acknowledged superi- ority in any important position or busi- ness. The present generation has wit messed stupendous rivilry in several branches of industry, and notably the Sewing Machine business. Amid a multitude of competitors, steadily and surely the Wheeler X Wilson Company held their way from the beginning, upon fixed and honorable principles. Long since, their leading position in America was established. Abroad, at London, in 1862, they won the highest premiums at Paris, in 1867, they dis tanced eighty-two competitors, and were awarded the highest premium, tue only Gold Medal for Sewing Machines exhibited and lastly, amid unparal- leled competition, followed the splendid triumphs at Vienna, noted in our ad- vertising columns.

The First Napoleon.

A writer says the household manners of Napoleon were those of boor "When the established hour for dining at Malmaison was six o'clock, and, though etiquette forbade any one to approach the table before the announce ment of the head of the house, he often failed to appear before seven, eight, or even ten o'clock. A chicken or some other article was placed on the spit every fifteen minutes by order of the cook, who knew we'll the habits of the emperor. The table manners of Napo- leon may have been those of the hero i; they were certainly anything but those of the gentleman. He completed the process of cramming-it would scarcely be called eating-in six or seven min utes, as rule. Ignoring the use O. knives and forks as regarded his own plate, he did not stop there. but helped himself with h1s fingers from the dishes nearest him, and dipped his bread in the pravv,"
