The WESTERN RURAL.-With the
new management Of The Western Ru-
raj comes marked improvements in that
sterling Farm and Family Weekly. 1t
has added Crop and Weather Bureau
so systematic as to include every i'm
portant county in the northwest, from
Ohio to the Rocky Mountains, and sur
passes the reports made by the Agri-
cultural Department at Washington, in
asmuch as they are presented fresh to
the farmers in condensed form each
week. The Western Rural also has
Commercial and Market reports unsur-
passed by any paper in the country,
and is the champion of cheap transport

Combining its Practical information on
Rural Affairs, with its entertaining and
instructive literary departments, make
it the most complete Farm and Family
newspaper extant. The price is $500

-ScARC1TY OF MoNEY.-There is
no doubt but the present condition of
all kinds of business and industry is
fearfully depressed, and it behooves ev-
cry family to look carefully to their ex-
penses. Winter is coming on when
children are liable to Group, Whooping
Cough, etc. Coughs and Colds will
prevail everywhere, and Consumption,
with other throat and lung diseases,
will carry of These diseases
should not be neglected. Doctors bills
are expensive, and We would advise our
people to use Boschee's German Syrup.
It never has failed. One bottle at IS
cents will keep your whole family we'll
during the winter. Two doses will re.

On last Friday committee of the
Stone Ware Company went into Good
hue township, to examine the clay beds
in that vicinity, with a view to securing
supplies for their factory, and at their
invitation we accompanied them. We
found clay of a very fine quality in sew
eral places, at depths varying from four
to twelve feet below the surface, and
the beds varying from seven to twenty
feet in thickness. In some places the
clay is mixed with ingredients that rem
der it unfit for the stone ware, but
leaves it still suitable for lower-pots,
terra-cotta ornaments, etc. From the
character Of the specimens of clay ex-
amined by US, We believe that further
investigation will reveal a very much
better quality than what is necessary
for stone-ware, and it is not unlikely
that an excellent material is here for
fire bricks. It is very certain that clay
suitable for very superior quality of
pressed brick is abundant all through
this region. The clay beds extend over
.
an area four or five miles in extent in
one direction and, perhaps, two or three
miles in the other, and the different
qualities Of the clay are found occasion
ally in the successive layers in the same
bed and in other places in beds slightly
separated from each other. There is,
no doubt, but that the supply of suitable
clay in the locality visited by the COM
mittee is ample to supply the proposed
factory for a century, and that other
abundant deposits of the same material
exist in the near vicinity of this city.
On this score there need be no fear
whatever, and these deposits are near
enough to the city to make it an easy
matter to procure them at a very reason
Bile cost.
