There will be a festival held in the
school house on the West road, near
Eaton, on next Saturday evening,
Sept. 10th, to raise funds to sustain
the Sunday School and preaching in
that nrighborhood. All are invited.
Our old friend JONATHAN SwITzER
has our thanks for the basket ofsplen-
did Maiden Blush apples and "Hon-
est John" peaches left at our house
on Saturday last. 1t is a treat to get
something honest in these Republican
times.
Come to the Fair, everybody, and
bring something for exhibition. If
you have nothing worthy of exhibit
ton, come anyway, and see what your
neighbors have to show. If every
one does his duty the exhibition, this
fall, will be the very best ever given
by the Society.
We still retain on our books some
of our subscribers who have failed to
forward their subscription. We know
it is an oversight on their part, and
we give this a gentle reminder. We
hope none of our subscribers will be
backward in coming forward with

There was a girl in our town and
she was wondrous lame, she ran a
heavy sewing machine from which
the trouble came, but when she saw
how lame she was with all her might
and main, she bought a new "Domes-
tic" and was soon all right again.
The j%uciest, finest and best lot of
fruit we have tasted or seen this year,
was a basket of Bartlett pears brought
into II Office by our friend P. P.
WEBB, of Casper township. Mr..
Webb raises this fruit in abundance
and understands how to preserve it
to perfection.
The thieves opened the campaign
for the winter in this place on SUM-
day night last by breaking into the
residence of Benz. Homan, the gro
Gerry of Mr.. Allison, and the saloons
of Fleming and Harshman. A few
dollars of change taken from the
drawers of the saloon and something
to eat from the other places, was all
that was missed. We look for this
business to be vigorously pursued the
coming winter, on account ofthe hun
dreds out Unemployment and nothing
to subsist on.

The Big Show.

The Cleaveland Leader says: The
immense aggregation, comprising Adam
F~orepaugh's enormous menagerie, cir
Gus and museum of wonders, spreads
several acres of tents ON the West Side
to-day. The Show makes a dazzling
street parade this morning, and it will
repay everybody to turn out to witness
the imposing pageant. The Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh papers have extolled
this exhibition as the largest and best
that was v e organized, on the CONT
nent. The menagerie is spoken of as
beyond all question larger than any
three eyer exhibited, and contains
many rare specimens that no other
show ever possessed. The only horse
antelope ever captured, the towering
giraffe, the ponderous double horned
black r%hinocerous, the huge and fierce
sea-lions, the large herd of nine ele-
plants and d~romedaries, the drove of
sacred cattle. the wonderful five per-
forming elephants, the S5O,OOO hlppopo-
tanus, the forty-eight full cages of ex-
traordinary wild beasts make up an ex-
hibition that is really startling in its di-
mansions. For two weeks in Philadel-
phia, day and night, thousands of peo-
pie were unable to find even standing
room in the vast eight centre pole tents.
The Pittsburgh parers speak in the same
way of the gigantic consolidation, and
we do not remember of a show receiv-
ing so much praise for its magnitude
and general excellence. The double
circus performance is also most highly
spoken of by the leading papers as COM
prising the best European and Ameri-
can talent that liberal salaries could
command. Judging from the handsome
reputation that comes ahead of it, and
the NATIONAL reputation OF Mr.. Fore
paugb, we regard the show as a grand
centennial offering every way worthy
of the immense success attending it on
its triumphal tour of the larger cities Of
the Union.

The reputation ithas attained, in consequence Of
the marvellous cures it has produced during the
last half century, is a sufficient assurance to the
publicahat it will continue to realize the happiest
-esults that can be desired. In almost every
section of country there are persons, publicly
known, who have beenrestored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use.
All who have tried Il, acknowledge its superiority;
and where its virtues areknown, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary afrec-
tons. CHERRY PICTORIAL always affords in
slant relief, and performs rapid cures Of the
milde varieties ofbronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the lungs.
AS a safeguard to children, amid the distress.
ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest Of
Childhood, it is invaluable for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial, as
the cures it is constantly producing are too re-
markable to be forgotten. No family should be
without it, and those who have once used it
never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the country
prescribe it, and C~lergymen often recommend it
from their knowledge of its effects.
