SUCCESS UPoN MERIT.-If there is an
instance upon the records of our country
where an article of American manufacture
has made its way to universal favor solely
upon its own merits and without cXtrane-
GUS aid, it is that of d. B. DeLand & Co. s
Best Chemical Sdlerdtus. 1t has only to
be sold in one place, and it is demanded
in another; snd so it has gone on lncreas-
ing in favor until the products of the ex-
tcnsive Chemical Works of III. A. De
Land & Co., at Fairport Monroe county
n Y. are now immense. This article is
made by process known only to the
proprietors, and is better for all purposes
than Soda. Try it.

AN alarm of fire was given last night
at about the hour of nine. The firemcn
got their apparatus out and were moving
toward the scene of the " fire." when
they were stopped by person who told
them that they need not 60 any farther,
because there was no fire. Examination
proved the man correct, the alarm being
occasioned by the casting in Frank Me-
COWS foundry. Short time as it was be-
tween the alarm and the stopping OF the
fircmcn, Dick Gurnsey had good head
of steam on, as the whistle Oh the steamer
frequently testified.

FIRE. Our citizens were called from
their slumbers last Friday evening by the
alarm of fire, which proved to be in an old
wooden building on Chatham street, own
ed by Mr.. A. II. Trask. Our firemen
promptly turned out, and by their excr-
tons the other buildings in close proximi
ty were saved. Fortunately the building
was unoccupied, else the loss might have
been greater. 1t is thought $3.50 will en-
tirely cover the damage. This is the first
fire we have had for long time, and it
shows that however sudden the alarm
may be, our firemen are always ready.

TINE LOCK. Tho First National Bank
of this city, has just had attached to its
strong box one of those burglar defying
contrivances, a Chronometer Lock. 1t is
of the Yale Lock Company's manufacture,
and is marvel of fine and ingenious
workmanship. It. combines number OF
improvements and advantages not found
in any other lock of the kind, and Is the
most perfect manifestation of skill and
inventive genius in this direction yet pro
duced.
The officers of the First National show
commendable spirit in thus providing
additional security for the funds placed
in their charge, which will be appreciated
by the patrons of the institution.

A WAR THAT WILL INVOLVE
THE GREAT POWERS OF EU-
OPE
Will It Benefit America !?

Should England, Russia, Prussia, Austria,
France and Turkey become involved in a
general war, as appearances at present
strongly indicate, it will call from the
field and workshop the unemployed re-
serves of those countries. What Will be
the consequence The war will be long
and bloody, and the drafts made upon the
laboring classes for soldiers will stop the
busy hum of the workshops and paralyze
the agricultural interests of Europe
Then will the rich granaries Of our North
west be opened and our cereals command
fabulous prices. Manufacturing indus
tries awakened, and our half million OF
skilled American artizans find employ
'ment in the industrial establishments of
our country--and gold from our Europe
an neighbors will pour rapidly into the
laps of our patriotic and deserving citi-
zens. Many of them will then forever
regret they permitted the splendid oppor-
tunity to pass without visiting that
grandest of triumphs, our Centennial.
Never before has the Great Fort Wayne
& Pennsylvania Railway offered such in
ducements to the travelling public. The
superb sights, the glitte1ing line of double
steel rail tracks, the magnificent palatial
cars from which the Centennial visitor
can view the scenes of our countrys ear
ly struggle, running through the field Of
Braddock's defeat, and winding over the
ranges of the Alleghanies, enjoying
sunrise On the famous horseshoe curve,
and for hundreds of miles passing in the
midst of scenery, SO startlingly grand,
charmingly beautiful and picturesquely
sublime, as to battle the descriptive
powers of the most graphic pen-picture
correspondent, or the enthusiastic land
scape portrayer in oil and colors, showing
the well defined evidence in the creation
of mastery grandeur of the Supreme
Architect of the universe, which so plen-
tifully abounds upon the line of the rail
way of America, the Great Fort Wayne
q Pennsylvania. Descriptive and elegant
ly illustrated guides of over fifty pages
may be had free, by writing to the Gene
