The successor of the Irish giant is
Mr.. Samuel Wilhelm, of Host, Berks
county, Pennsylvania, who measures
eight feet and seven and one half inches
in height, and weighs two hundred and
thirty pounds. He is reported as being
a very muscular, well built man, whose
grasp is like an iron wise.
The railroad agent at Van Vert gave
a conductor package containing $500
with instructions to hand it to man at
Monroville, sixteen miles west of that
place. When the train reached that
place the conductor reported that he had
lost it through hole in his pocket. The
story is very much doubted.
On tho 23d inst, fire broke out in
the dry goods store of G. E. Bradley, at
Swanton, and the building and contents
were entirely destroyed. The adjoining
building was also destroyed. 1t was oc-
cupied by the post Office, and a cabinet

the goods in the cabinet shop were de-
stroyed. Loss about $4,000.
A lively time is promised in Ottawa
county at the spring election. The
bill for the relief of Godfrey Jeager has
passed the Legislature, and vote will
be taken TO levy tax for the same. In
the l etition to the Legislature it stated
that the money had been placed in the
bank with the consent of the county
commissioners, and now one of them
comes forward and says the statement is
false.
The Changers of Seneca county recent
ly shipped eight car loads of wheat and
oats to Baltimore and realized only 80
cts per bushel for the wheat and 30 cts
for the oats. This is not as much as
they could get at home, and the freight
commission, &C., had to be deducted.
In order to fill one car they purchased
one hundred bushels of oats, for which
they paid 56 cts per bushel. Experience
is q good teacher. on
On Tuesday night of last week, says
the Ottawa County Reporter, while Mr..
John Gould and wife were away from
home, at Middle Bass, the lamp was
knocked off the sewing machine, and
set fire to the house, Every effort was
made by his daughter to extinguish the
flames, but narrowly escaped herself.
The house was entirely destroyed, to-
gether with all the household goods, and
Mr.. Gould's money. The house was in
sured for $500, but valued at 81, 500
The Napoleon Signal says. Mrs.
Gurnee was walking along the road on

was buried at the expense Of the Town

WITH
OPEN DOORS
AT THE
PeOple'SStOre

Every one can tell by the display
of goods in front of the Peoples
Store, by the immense stock on hand
and by the continual rush and lively
aspect always seen there, that Perry
Close is doing the largest business
in his line of any house in the city.
They cannot write poetry or prose,
neither can they afford to pay per
son for writing biography of their
past immense business, but they can,
will and do, put their. prices down
in plain figures, SO that people far
and near can see what the leading
Grocery and Crockery dealer is do,
ing. They buy tEeir stock direct
from first hands and importers-al-
ways buying the best that can be
had. They never buy second quail
ity, low grades and culled stock,
such as SMALL DEALERS must buy
when they buy in Toledo and Cleve.
land. Their Grocery stock is the
best and most extensive in the city,
and they can afford to sell as low as
their neighbOrs can buy at wholesale.
In the CROCKERY line they haue no competi-
ton, and, of course, cannot have, as they import
their White Granite Ware direct from England,
and the few small dealers who get barrel at a
time In Toledo or Cleveland have little to say when
they get customer that understands his or her
business. All In all the Peoples Store is the best
place in Fremont TO buy Groceries, CTockery,
Glassware, in fact anything you may want in the
above line of goods, you can get for less money
than at any other place in the city. So say the
laboring men, the mechanic, the professional man.
and so say all. Giys the PEOPLES STORE, call.

JOHN SMITH.

PHnADE1PH1A, March 30, 1875.
JOHN SMITH.
Our city contains, according to the di-
rectory, just one hundred and thirty-five
plain John Smiths, only one of whom it
is my purpose to write about. He re-
sides at No. 1915 South Fifth street, and
when he scored 100 years for himself, he
concluded to supervise the chiselling of
the tablet designed to mark the last res
ting place of himself and Mrs. John
Smith. That tablet has how been fin
ished more than three years, and it still
stands in the marble yard of John Cart
ledge, Northeast corner of Tenth and
Federal streets. 1t reads thus:

JOHN SMITH,
Born January 7tb, 1854.
Died March 10th, 1852.
"Jesus Christ is my Hope and Refugee
The date of the death of John Smith
is yet blank space; for the very good
reason that the old gentleman is still
living, aged 1O3 years, with every indi-
cation of witnessing the dial plate of
time mark 100 years for the American
nation, Once week, Mr.. Smith walks
to the marble yard, looks at his tomb
stone, has a talk with Mr.. Cartledge
about the news of the day, and without
sitting down to rest himself at all,
trudges Off home again, as blithely as a
boy of ten returning from school, MAX

SIX MILLIoNs.-About two years ago

physician of California, discovered, by
actual experience upon his own system,

boon to suffering humanity" Being
a combination of herbalistic extracts,
pungent and sour to the taste, and yet
possessed OF gentle stimulative character
istics-although entirely free from alco-
hol-he named it VINEGAR BIrTERs, and
despite the prejudice existing among his
profession against all patented medicines
ne determined to brave the ieers of his
brother practitioners and give to suffer
ing humanity the benefit of his accident
al discovery. He did so, and the benefits
from Its use became known. The de-
mand increased, and immense quantities
were sold at a merely nominal price. Its
merit Is told in the fact that lin two
years over SIX MILLIONS Of bottles have
Deen sold' and still the demand increas-
