An Interesting meeting is now in
progress at the Christian Church.
Ed. A. M. Coan, of Yellow Springs,
will assist the pastor through the
meeting.
Longnecker & Son have purchased
the grocery stock of John C. Bonner.
W. G. Bruce and Chas. Bruce, son of
Washington, have purchased the gro
Gerry stock of Laban Fisher, and will
occupy the old Bruce corner in bust
ness.
Mrs. John Townsend, wife of ex-
Sheriff Townsend, in coming out of
Mrs. Van Doren's Millinery Shop on
Wednesday evening last, slipped and
fell, ~injuring the old healed limb so
that she viii probably be again con-
fined inthe house for a long time.
This is going to be an "of year"
with the Churches of Eaton. We
learn all except the Christian have
voted not to give Christmas gifts this
year to the Sabbath School children.
Consequently! Too thin. Get up
a donation for the ministers.
Mis- Mary Lander has just received a
fine lot of castors, vases, mugs, &C..
for Christmas presents. Call and see
them.
An exchange says, and which is,
we think, equally applicable to our
own case, that banks may "bustn and
ego up,1 but we defy them to get any
of our money to sour with. We de-
post our spare change with delin-
quent subscribers, and none of them
will ever go up.
The Novelty Comedy Company Are
playing in Opera Hall to first class
audiences. Everybody should go and
see this Company during the week
and be delighted. No better was
ever in Eaton, and after you witness
one of their performances you will
agree with us.

and the remedy is simply alum and
sugar.. The way to accomplish the
deed is to take knife Dr. CRATE and
shave off in small particles about a
teaspoonful of alum then mix it with
twice its quantity. of sugar, to make it
~palatabIe, and administer it as quick
ly as possible. Almost instantaneous

The December number of the Phre-
biological Journal is at hand, replete
with excellent and good matter to in
terest and store the mind. This num-
Der completes the publication for the
year 1877, aud the January one will
be commenced with the price reduced
from $500 to $500 a year, without
any change in the size of the periodi-
cal. There is not a family in this
whole country but that would be
largely benefited by having this val
liable and Instructive monthly in their
house.
The first little furry of snow for
this season scattered itself around on
Saturday last. There was not much
of it to be sure, but enough to apprise
people that rude old clustering Win
ter was on his way and would Don
be with us in all his b%oisterous and
chilling glory. Weeks ago his unge-
NAL messenger, Jack Frost, was sent
through the country, shifting with his
whitening breath the forest leaf and
the garden flower, and scattering des-
o~lation and death remorselessly a.
round; and nov his second herald of
snow which comes riding the cutting
blasts again admonishes us TO be on
the look out for the stern Ice King,
for soon he will swoop down upon
us like hungry tramp upon twelve
buckwheat cakes and half dozen links
of cholera sausage.

Investigations appear to show
that the unhealthtulness of wearing
apparel that has any combination with
coal-tar colors, is due to the fact that
the agents employed in the prepara-
ton of aniline colols are, in many IN
stances, deleterious, among these being
the compounds of arsenic, zinc, tin,
anthony, lead, together with hydro
chloric and picric acids. The CON-
mon or inferior colors prepared from
residaes are pronounced especially dan
gerous, but are, nevertheless. on &C
count of their cheapuoss, largely en-
ployed in coloring paper-hangings,
wooden toys, matches, lndia-rubber
articles, confectionery, etc. In the
dyeing Of wooden and other tissues,
the common aniline colors are also ex-
tensively used, and sewing operatives
frequently suffer from the presence OF
arsenic and picric acid in these mate
rials. The fingers become inhamed
