streets, was entered by burglars, and a
considerable amount OF goods stolen.
The burglars pried open a window shut
ter on Church street. then broke pane
OF glass and unfastened the sash and let
it down. 30 they could enter the building.
A quantity OF clothing, hats, a watch.
and other articles are gone. The owners
OF the store cannot tell how much their
loss will be. but it will not perhaps be
over two hundred dollars.

JACKSON, O.. February l6, 1877.
To the Editor OF the Standard:
Perusing the columns of your valuable
paper. our attention was attracted by an
example. which required solution for the
benefit OF Cincinnatian.
We really could not decide whether
the gentleman was using sarcasm or not;
but taking it for granted that he desired
to expand his mental faculties, we en-
close q solution which we think will
have the desired effect.
3-5 of any thing is 60 per cent. of it.
"a Of anything is rs per cent. of it.
60 10 to rs as 4 is to 5. If the cost be
represented by 4, and the selling price
by 5, the gain is IA of the cost; and IA
~ rs per cent, which is the gain.
Very respectfully,
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS.

The streets of Jackson are now dry and
solid, and in places are getting dusty.
We think the roads in the country are
also getting in good condition. We see
wagons and buggies passing constantly,
and the livery men are looking up.
BY the way, speaking Of livery, reminds
US that Tom Delay desires US to tell the
people that he has all the necessary fix
ings to accommodate the public with liv-
cry. He has good, quiet horses, sound
and safe harness and buggies. and all
who call can be accommodated
He also desired us to- say something
else, but we really forget what it was.
Call on him and inquire about it,

Prof. Tyndall's Warning.

In concluding an address to the stu
dents of University College (London,
Prof Tyndall, who is unquestionably one
of the most indefatigable brain workers
Of our century, said. take care Of your
health. Imagine Hercules as oarsman
in rotten boat; what can he do there
but by the very force of his stroke expe
dite the ruin of his craft. Take care OF
the timbers Of your boat !" The distin-
guished scientists advice is equally valu-
able to all workers We are apt to de-
vote all our energies to welding the oars,
our strokes fall firm and fast, but few of
us examine or even think of the condi-
ton Of our boats until the broken or rot
en- timbers suddenly give way and we
find ourselves the victims of a calamity
which could have been easily avoided by
little forethought. What began with
a slight fracture, or perhaps even a care
less exposure to disorganizing influences,
ends in the complete wreck of the life
boat The disease which began with a
slight headache or - undue exposure to
cold, terminates in death, unless its pro-
gress be checked, and the disease rene
died. The frat symptoms, the heralds
of disease, give no indication of the
on-coming foe, and the victim trusts that
his old ally, Nature, will exterminate the
invader. But Disease is an old general
and accomplishes his most important
movemvnts in the nighttime, and some
bright morning finds him in possession
of one Of the strongest Notifications; and
when he has once gained stronghold in
the system Nature ANONYMOUSLY
turns traitor and secretly de-
livers up the whole physical ar
mory to the invader. Like the willy pol
itician, Nature is always on the strongest
side, and the only way to insure support
is to keep your vital powers in the ascen-
dant. Keep your strongest forts-the
stomach and liver-well guarded. sDo
not let the foe enter the arterial high
ways, for he will steal or destroy your
richest merchandise and impoverish your
kingdom. To repulse the attacks of the
foe you can find no better ammunition
than DR.. Pierce's Family Medicines.
(Full directions accompany each pack
age) His Pleasant Purgative Pellets are
especially effective in defending the sto-
mach and liver. His Golden Medical
Discovery for purifying the blood and ar
resting coughs and colds Ifyou wish to
become familiar with the most approved
system of defense in this warfare, and
the history Of the foes method Of inva-
sion, together with complete instructions
for keeping your forces in martial order
in time of peace, you can find no better
manual of these tactics than "The Peo
ple's Common Sense Medical Adviser"

A terrible accident took place on Tues
day Of last week, near noon, on Huron
switch. A freight train was running on
the switch, and had stopped. Two boys,
named Steele and McCray, got on the
cow-catcher for ride. but fearing the
train might not stop for them to get of,
concluded to get off before the train
should start. just as they did so the
train started, and two wheels of the great
locomotive passed over the leg of the boy
McCray, crushing it in a most horrid
manner, and bruising him in other parts
of the body. Dr. A. B. Monahan had
not started to Columbus, and he was
called in, and amputated the foot. be-
!. tween the ankle and knee. After some
days. erysipelas set in, and now, (Mon-
day. it is thought the boy cannot live
more than day or two.
McCray is-a fine, healthy boy, twelve
years of age, SON of q widow, residing in
town. His mother thought her son was
at school

On Monday morning we went to the
Marrow Gauge Railroad, and found the
locomotive just coming up to the end OF
the road, at Tropic Furnace. The men
at once commenced loading cars with
railroad iron. Work is now progressing
just as rapidly as means are obtained.
Stockholders are paying some of their
stock all the time, but they should make
extra effort. so that the road can be fn-
ished as soon as possible. and commence
earning something. There is little doubt
that with careful management, the stock
of this road will be profitable invest
ment.

There is much talk this spring about
revival of business. In anticipation of
this, retail dealers are making big calcu-
lations, and preparing to get on very
large supplies of goods for the spring
trade.
The people of both town and country
may rest assured, that among those who
will keep fully up with any revival of
business which may come about, will be
found that wide awake, untiring mer-
chant, Mark Sternberger. He has one
of the largest and finest sale rooms on
that fine street, Broadway, and he will
keep it well filed, and his goods well ar
ranged, and he will sell at the lowest
customary prices.
