MANTUA.
Correspondence.

Thrice, since the advent Of these
pleasant autumnal days, has the tolling
bell announced the departure of one of
the octogenariaDs OF our township,
who have been gathered, like grain
fully ripe, by the great reaper. The
first was James Frost, whose death on
September Goth has been previously
mentioned. The second was Mrs.
Lydia Davis, relict of Dea. Danforth
Davis, who passed sway Sept. 3Oth,
after an earth lite of 80 years. Emf
grating with her husband and family
Of two sons and two daughters, from
near Boston, Mass, over forty years
ago, the balance of her life has been
spent in Mantua. Her life was an ex-
ample of quiet and transformations
Christian, and at its close she cheer
fully went to her home in the lite be.
yond, with a firm and abiding faith in
the Savior, in whom she had trusted
for three score years. Her funeral
was attended by many of the most
aged people yet remaining with us.
Rev. Mr.. Hsmlin OF, Aurora, offlclated
at her funeral on Tuesday. His DIS
course abounded with excellent
thoughts, practical and interesting,
and appropriate for the occasion.
On Saturday, Oct. 13. Mrs. Olive
Carlton, having survived her late COM
panion Elias Carlton six years-long
and weary years of waiting-at last
obeyed the welcome summons, and
went to join the loved ones gone be-
fore. The yearly record of her earth
life mum bered 81 years and months
Sixty-one of which were spent in
Mantua. Born and reared in Tolland
County, Ct, in her early life she left
her rocky New England home, and in
this township, cheerfully endured the
privations and hardships common to
the early settlers, until ample means
were secured for the helpless days of
old age. Two of her four children
preceded her TO the summer land, and
of the two now living, one resides in
Mich, and the other at Cuyahoga
Rapids, where she has spent the few
remaining years of her life, since the
death of her husband. The deceased
was a member of the congregation of
Disciples at the Center, where the fu-
neral services were held Oh Sunday,
conducted by Rev. A. s. Hayden.
Thus the links that unite us with
the remote past are being severed one
by one, and soon the last farewell will
be spoken to those bold and fearless
spirits who brayed the dangers and
endured the trials Of pioneer life, in
what was then the Far West.
Next Sunday, Oct. 81, the celebrated
author, Hudson Tuttle, will lecture at
Citizens Hall, Mantua Station, at one
o'clock p. m. Subject-Eternal JUS
tice. Also, will lecture in the eve
ming, at the Same place. Subject
Religion of Spiritualism. The lee.
lures are free, and all are cordially in-
vited to attend.

A Washington special of Saturday
last to the Cleveland Leader, says:
"The Republican Congressmen from
New York, Pennsylvania and Wiscon-
sin speak very discouragingly Of the
political prospects in their States, and
predict that the precedent set by Ohio
will be followed at the November
election by each of them. The DEM
ocrats are correspondingly hopeful
and are indulging in a good deal of
braggadociO. They claim that Demo-
cratic Legislatures will be obtained in
each Of the three States mentioned,

ifornia, five new Democratic Senators
from the Northern States for the next
Congress.

DEEREIELD.

The NJ. f. Church of Deerfield, in
connection with that of Palmyra held
their first Quarterly meeting on Tues
day, the 9th inst. Elder Morton and
ministers from other. charges were
present. The sermon was preached
by the Elder, after which sacrament
was administered. Tho attendance
was small, probably on account of it
being election day.
The upper room of the building for
merly occupied by Wann & Day, has
been fitted up and is occupied by the
Grangers. 1t makes splendid Hall,
4Ox5O feet. The lower room is to be
partitioned of INTO rooms suitable for
a dwelling and is leased to Pastor
Hanselman.
Business IN Deerfield is retrograding
although hickorynuts are worth 81,
per bushel and scarce at the price.
ELECTION IS OVER.
The party of ''troOly loil ideas" il
appears, did not take Horace Greeley'a
advice and ego West" The people
have taken rather religious turn ol
mind-chosen and elected Bishop
the first time Church and State have
joined and run together in Ohio.
Geo. H. Pendleton's opponent is
compelled to give up the Senatorial
contest, according to the advice of his
Royal Highness, r. B. III. "Come to
Washington, James, your services are
of more Importance in the House,
Alas how the mighty are fallen, and
the people said, we will not 60 West.
On Saturday morning one armed
soldier called at the house of "trooly
loiP citizen and member in good
standing in the Presbyterian Church
of Benton, Irving in the southeast part
of this township. Heasked for break
fast, and his request was granted. At
ter eating he said he had no money,
but asked for some work. He was
ordered to chop some wood, but he
said he could not do that, having only
one arm. Thereupon his overcoat was
taken for the bill, and he was ordered
to leave, which he did, and immedi-
ately after the proprietor and family
left the house, taking the precaution
to lock the doors and tasten the win
dows. About 4 p. m. they returned
and found the back door open, the
house ransacked, and a new suit OF
clothes worth $50, and silver ware
amounting to s125 missing. But the
Soldiers coat was not taken. Moral :
It may be an angel In disguise, we en-
tertain, and then again it mayn't.
REPUBLICAN PosToFFICE MUDDLE.
The question has been propounded :
"Does the principal of rotation in Of

II years without a change? or has he
got life lease from the Administra-

many pensioners and soldiers of the
rebellion, worthy and true men, who
need it more than the present occupant.
If no change is made it would appear
that there is no person in the town

special branch of u. S. Postal Service
in Deerfield. A gentleman of Repub.
lican proclivities is circulating petit
ton soliciting subscribers for the re-
moval of the pestoffice. He is meet

Rather out Of Season.

A Washington (Montana) paper says ;
Last Sunday night at about ten o'clock,
there was an immense number of grass
hoppers passed over and through this town.
The night was very dark, butthe choppers"
came butting against the buildings,
rattling against the windows, entering the
houses at the open windows and doors,
and playing havoc with the over-supersti-
tious, for many persons had gone to bed
and were in their first sweet sleep, as the
choppers" commenced to rattle against the
glass of the windows and jump about rooms,
making a noise like unto parcel of baby
spirits out on their first spree. 1t was a
strange experience for those who were
awake and took the pains to go out doors
and listen to the odd small noise that filled
the air, produced by the conclusion of their
wings and the butting of their heads
against any obstacle in their way. AS far
as could be judged from the noise they
made, they were in great force and came
from the north going in a southern direc-
ton but many thousands came to grief in
town, either giving ont through fatigue or
the many accidents of attempting to make
night trip without good pilots, as the
next morning thousands of dead and
MANNED grasshoppers were lying about loose
On the streets in the yards and houses
They were of the largest type of Rocky
mountains species, some of them measur-
ing fully three inches in length from "head
to toe" They evidently came across the
Missouri river which at this place is fully
three-fourths of mile wide, and those
that did not perish in town kept on toward
the land of the perpetual green.

CowARDLY ASSAULTS.

When candidate for high office is so
well liked and SO popular with the masses
as to make his defeat difficult in fair and
honorable fight, mean and cowardly men
are not wanting who delight in manufacture
ing lies aud slandering his good name.
There are also those whose seliishness
prompt them to prostitute their honor,
FpeiNert truth, and ignore right, for the
sake OF injuring competitor in business,
whose prosperity they envy, and with whose
business sagacity they have not the talent
to successfully compete in an honorable
way. These thoughts suggested by the
mean, cowardly attacks made upon me aud
my medicines, by those who imagine their
pecuniary prospects injured by the great
popularity which my standard medicines
have acquired, and the continued growth
of my professional practice. Narrow
minded practitioners of medicine, and
manufacturers of preparations which do
not possess sufficient merit tc successfully
compete for popular favor, have resorted
10 cowardly strategy as to publish all sorts
of ridiculous reports about the composition
of my medicines. Almanacs, "Receipt
Books" and other pamphlets, are issued
and scattered broadcast over the land
wherein these contemplate knaves publish
pretended analyses of my medicines, and
receipts for making them. Some of these
publications are given high-sounding names
pretend to be issued by respectable men of
of education and position, for the good of
the people-the more completely to blind
the reader to the real object in their circu-
laton, which is to injure the sale of my
medicines. "The Popular Health Alma
nae" is the high-sounding name of one of
these publications, which contains bogus
receipts, without grain of truth in them.
Not less devoid of truth are those which
have been published by one Dr. L., of De-
troit, in the Michigan Farmer, and by
other manufacturers of medicines, in
several so-called journals of Pharmacy.
They are all prompted by jealousy and ut
terly fall in accomplishing the object of
their authors, for, notwithstanding their
free circulations, my medicines continue to
sell more largely than any others manu-
factured in this country, and are constant
ly increasing in sale despite the base lies
.coucocted and circulated by such knaves.
The people find that these medicines pos
sess genuine merit, accomplished what
their manufacturer claims for them, and
are not tue vile, poisonous nostrums which
jealous, narrow-minded physicians and
sneaking compounders of competing medi-
cines represent them to be. Among the
the large number of pretended analyses,
published, it is significant fact that nc
two have been at all alike-conclusively
proving the dishonesty of their authors
1t is enough for the people to know that
while thousands, yes | may truthfully say
millions, have taken my medicines and
have been cured, no one has ever received
injury from their use.
