Mr.. h. j. Topky finally bade sdieu to our COM
munity, as place Of residence, we regret to an
nounce, on Tuesday morning, removing to Ashta-
bula, in which town he had, as previously stated
perfected arrangements to re-enter the hardware
business. Mr.. Topky was public spirited, enter
prising and industrious citizen. He first came to
Athens in 1858, prior to his majority. In the fol-
lowing year he married the daughter OF one OF our
most respected citizens, and shortly affer with
few hundred dollars. entered into the hardware
business, in partnership the firm being, Roach,
Topky b Co. In this business he continued with
various firm changes, and finally alone, until he
recently sold out store and stock preliminary to
removing. The enterprise OF Mr.. T. was not
alone confined to the conduct and extension of
the business he was Immediately engaged in, but
he entered heartily into whatever projects of local
public Improvement that have had their origin
during his residence here. These have found in
Mr.. T. an efficient mover and supporter. Now
the period Of vigorous manhood, with increased
financial ability to further such projects. is our
community called upon to resign his citizenship.
But what cannot be cured must be endured. We
congratulate the good people OF Ashtabula on the
accession to their community Of so valuable a
citizen.

A Few WORDS TO FEEBLE AND DELI
CATE WoMEN.-By R. V. Pierce, NJ. D.
of the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y
Knowing that you are subject to a
great amount of suffering, that delicacy
on your part has a strong tendency to
prolong, and the longer it is neglected
the more you have to endure aud the
more difficult of cure your case becomes,
l, as a physician, who is daily consulted
by scores of your sex, desire to say to
you, that am constantly meeting with
those who have been treated for their
ailments for months without being bene-
fitted in the least, until they have become
perfectly discouraged and have almost
made up their minds never to take an
other dose of medicine, nor be tortured
BY any further treatment They had
rather die and haye their sufferings end
ed than to live and suffer as they. have.
They say they are worn out by suffering
and are only made worse by treatment
Ofanything more discouraging, we GER
tainly cannot conceive, and we're there
no more successful mode Of treating such
dificnlties than that, the principles OF
which teach the reducing and depletion
ofthe vital forces of the system, when
the indications dictate treatment d.
rectly the reverse of the one adopted for
them, their cases would be deplorable
indeed. But lady sufferers, there is
better and far more successful plan of
treatment for YOU; one more in harmony
with the laws and requirements OF your
system. A harsh irritating caustic treat
ment and strong medicines will never
cure you. If you would use rational
means, such as common sense should
dictate to every intelligent lady, take
such medicines as embody the very best
inyigorating tonics, and nerVines, COM
pounded with special reference to your
delicate system. Such happy cOmbIna-
tion you will find in nay FsVorite Pre-
scription which has received the ioudest
praise from thousands of your sex. Those
languid, tiresome sensations causing you

all your former elasticity, and driving
the bloom from your cheeks that contln-
uaI strain upon your vital forces that

be overcome and subdued by 0 preseVer-
ing use of that marvellous remedy. r.
regularities and distractions to the prop
er workings of your systems are relieved
by this mild and safe means, while peri
odical pains, the existence of which is
sure indication of serious disease that
should not be neglected, readily yield to
it, and its use is kept up for a reasonable

DR.. WREN, of Brooklyn, N Y. the in
Yentor of Petroleum Gas. spent day in
looking about the village and inspecting
the gas works and the burning of the gas,
on Friday last. The opinion arrived at
was that there was not sufficient intelli-
gence and care used in laying the pipes,
to prevent the gathering of moisture, and
the partial closing up Of the passage for
the gas. The natural effect of this would
be TO lessen the force and supply at the
burners. This would cut of the supply
of oxygen for consumpion-the flame
would be feeble, and smoke would be
presest in the same ratio.
