Business for Ladies.

Our attention has been called TO a new
article for the use of ladies', the invention
of which has conferred an everlasting bless
ing upon every lady. We refer to the
Queen City skirt suspenders for supporting
ladies' skirts, the most desirable and bene-
ticial article ever invented for the relief of
women, many of whom have suffered years
of miserable health caused solely by carry
ing the weight of a number of skirts, COM
pletely dragging them down. Something
to support ladies' clothing is absolutely
necessary. These suspenders are recon-
mcnded by our leading physicians to all la
dies and young girls. Every lady should
have them. They are sold only through Ia
dy agens. A splendid opportunity is offer
ed to some reliable lady canvasser of this
county to secure the agency for pleasant
and profitable business. For terms and
territory write at once 10 the Queen City
Suspender Company, 27s Clark street, Cin-

On Sunday night week, a son of
Mr. David Ely, residing on the south
ern limits of the borough, heard a
.'rumbllng, grumbling and roar"
somewhere in the direction of the corn
crib, and upon making a reconnaissance,
discovered an aged darkey about to
leave the premises with a bag full OF
corn in ears Putting on enough o:
assurance the lad induced the thief TO
leave the booty, and allowed him to de-
part without further mo!estation. Re
turning to the house the boy acquaint-
ed his father with the transaction. Mr..
Eby next day called on the old moke,
and demanded his reason for thus en-
deavoring to reduce his stock of con-
centrated corn juice, and also asked
how he gained ingress to the crib. The
darkey replied that he was needy, didn't
Mt like to beg and that his family were
starving. As to the manner OF his get
ting into the crib, be produced bunch
of keys, with one of which he had
opened the lock. Mr.. Eby's generous
nature was satisfied as to the old mans
condition. and after lecturing him upon
the criminality of the offence, he furth-
er told him that be would have helped
him out of his trouble, If he had come
to him and made known his wants
