AS had been previously announced the re-
mains of Mrs. Rachel Vail reached this place
from Philadelphia, where she died, on Wed
nesday of last week, and were inferred in the
down town cemetery. The deceased was well
known to our older inhabitants and the es-

the large numbers who attended the services
at the Presbyterian Church, of which she
had long been a loved member, and assisted
at her burial. An excellent and very inter
esting sermon was preached on the occasion
by the Rev. Mr. Pitts.

Our FARMERS who use Paris green as am

should be careful to keep it out of the way Of
their cattle. Dr. Hurd, residing near Ex-

which to treat his Colorado visitants, and
failing to use proper care in the preservation
of what he had left the cow made feast Of
it and died soon after.

Pork Pa king Report.

Estimates for the entire season indi.
cate falling off in pork packing at all
interior points in the West amounting
to 570,O hogs, and with a possible
falling off at the leading cities enough to
make the aggregate decrease 0,000,
compared with last year. However, the
chances favoring final deficiency some
what less than this number, and, taking
the increased weightsinto consideration,
it may be safe to calculate that tine hog
crop will not materially vary from
100000 hogs at last years weights,
against 5, ,566, 900 last year-a decrease
of ten per cent. The packing at all
points is approximately 5000, 900,
against 1000, 600 hogs year ago. The
interior points in Ohio show ten to
twelve pounds decrease in weights; In,
diana, about the same as last year; IL
linois, twenty pounds increase Iowa
fifteen pounds increase; Missouri, thirty
five pounds increase; Kansas and Ne
braska, fifty pounds increase, and {
moderate increase in other sections.

A Circus Turned into a Church.

Messrs. Moody and Sankey are to hold
series of revival meetings in Gilmore's 8
garden, New York, on or about the first
of February. The building will be di-
vided by partitions into three apart
ments. The arrangements for seating
the audience are to remain as they have
been, but the space lately allotted to
gravel walks and shrubbery will all be
utilized for the same purpose. The hall
at the southern end of the building will
be fitted up to accommodate between
seven and eight thousand people, while
the hall at the north end will be arranged
to seat about four thousand. The inter
vening space-about forty feet--between
the two halls will be devoted t. Offices
and retiring rooms. The long narrow
chambers underneath the tiers of seats
on the Madison and Fourth avenue sides
of the building, formerly devoted to the
menagerie by Barnum, and lately oc
cupied by the bar, lunch counter anG
shooting galleries of Gilmore's garden
will be divided into apartments which
will be used for purposes of religious
conversation. The offices at the corner
of Fourth avenue and Twenty -sixtl

by the several committees.-Neso Yorj

is too feeble for its well-deserved praise,
suffice it to say that I think it a perfect
success, and an indispensable article in
housekeeping, and hereafter L shall
never think of using any other soap but

S For the Blood is Life.c

See Deuteronomy, xii: 90. The blood being
the source from which the system ls built up,
and from which We derive our mental as well
as physical capabilities, how important that
it should be kept pure II it contain vile, fes-
tering poisons, all organic functions become
enfeebled. Settling upon important organs, as
the lungs, liver and kidneys, the effect is
most disastrous. Hence it behooVes all to
keep their blood in a perfectly healthy con-
dition, and more especially does this apply at
this particular season of the year than ht any
other. No matter what the exciting cause
may be, the real cause of large proportion OF
all diseases is bad blood. Now, DIR. Pierce
does not wish TO place his Golden Medical
Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent
nostrums, by recommending 1t TO cure every
disease, nor does he 80 recommend IL !; on the
contrary, there are hundreds of diseases that
he acknowl sdges it will not cure but what he
does claim is this that there is but one form
of blood disease that it will not cure, and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommeuu hlt
Discovery for that disease, yet he knows IL to
be the most searching blood-cleanser yet dis.
covered, and that it will free the blood and
system of all other blood poisons, be they
animal vegetable, or mineral. The Colder
Medical Discovery is warranted by him 10 cure
the worst forms of skin diseases, as all formi
of blotches, pimples and erupuons; also al
glandular swellings, and the worst form o
| scrofulous and liberated sores OF the neck
/ legs, OT OIutT anu nii N-|
eases of the bones, as white swellings, feve
sores, hip-joint and spinal disea:es-all
which belong to scrofulous diseases.

The Boston Globe continues the pub
lication of interviews with business men.
One of the largest and most successful
clothing manufacturers said his firm had
more than paid its way during the past
year, AM h had the fullest hope for
the coming year. A lady who had sue
cessfully managed q large estate for
many years was of the opinion that
when people paid their debts the times
would be prosperous enough. She be.
lieved that individual effort only could
bring about a return Of prosperity, and
that $50 long as the people of this
country continue to eat roast beef when
they have only money enough to pay for
salt mackerel, they will have and deserve
to have hard times" A stove dealer who
has had business career of unbroken
success for nearly half century said
the trouble had been that business men
bought goods and sold them before pay
ing for them. He thought the present
stagnation was gradually bringing
around the remedy for just the troubles
complained of by business men, and
that another year will find money flow
ing into the hands of small traders and
out of the hands of those who have for
years monopolized the surplus money in
that and other money centers and used
it in large oper .tions which finally grew
beyond their control. He thought that
many banks had pursued a very bad
policy in preferring the notes of large
borrowers to those who desired accom-
modations for legitimate business trans
actions in small amounts. The outlool
for the future was much brighter thar
for years, and those who were content tt
work for q living would another yea
find ample opportunity to pursue bust
ness pursuits with fair and safe return
upon invested capital.
