The GreGtest Medical Discovery since The Crcq-
Hon Of Nan, or since the Commence
mera of The Christian Era.
There mover has been:a time when the
healing of so many different diseases has
been caused by outward application as the
half OF the entire population OF the globe re-
sort TO the use of ordinary plasters.
DIR. MELvIS's CAisICUM PoRoUs PLAsTERs
are acknowledged by all who have used
them, to act quicker than any other plaster
they ever before tried, and that one OF these
plasters will do more real service than u hun
bred of the ordinary kind. All other pIus-
tiers are slow of action, ana require 10 be
worn continually to effect a cure; but with
these IL is entirely different; the instant one
is applied the patient will feel Its effect.
Physicians in all ages have thoroughly
tested and well know the effect of Capsicum;
and II has always been more or less used as a
medical agent for an outward application;
but II is only of "A very recent date that Its adj
vantages in a porous plaster have been dis
covered. Being, however. convinced of the
wonderful cures effected by DIR. MELvIN's
CAPSICUM ORC P~LAsTERS ami their supe-
actually prescribe them, in their practice. foI
such diseases as rheumatism, pain Ia the side
and back, and all such cases as have required
the use of plasters or liniment. After you
have tried other ~r'lasters ana liniIncnts. and
they have failed, and you want "A certain
cure, ask your druggist for DIR. MELvIN's
CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly
believe your own convictions OF Its wonder
nl effects. Although powerful and quick In
Its action, you can rely on Its safety for the
most delicate person to wear, as II Is free
from lead and other poisonous material com
monty used in the manufacture of ordinary
plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee
Of its merits, and one plaster viii sell hun
dreds to your friends.

AUSTINBURG.

Eds Tel.-0ur village was thrown into
convulsions day or two ago. One OF our
merchants received letter from an un-
Gle out West, bringing the information
that he had sent him a Present-no less
than colored washerwoman! That she
would be on the next train-that she was
somewhat afflicted with the rheumatism
that she was unable to stand the rigors OF
\ western climate, and believed that the
more mild and genial temperature of Aus
tinburg would improve her health. She
was q splendid and tireless worker. In
short, as she was well provided with
clothing, and would ask no wages-work-
ing for her board and accommodations.
the arrangement would be found mutually
advantageous. The merchant thought
well of the affair, but his better half
looked at it from different stand point;
she felt competent to employ her own
help, and did not care to have rheumat-
ic old colored woman forced upon her. 1t
was too bad, and she could not see what
the old fool was thinking about, to send
sucn person to wait upon and take care
of. am capable of doing my own work,
washing included. 1t was mean. The re-
suit was a good cry, little gossip with a
neighbor, and comparative quiet ensued.
But it was not until the train arrived,
bringing an automaton, or toy washer
woman, was the peace of that family re-
stored.
Now, Mr.. Jones over the way, taking in
the joke, concluded to try the amiable
qualities Of the lady of his household. He
therefore informed her that he had made
a capital bargain in engaging colored
washerwoman to make one Of the family
for the winter. A similar recital of ad-
vantages was begun, but he had hardly
got through, before he found it wholesome
to get out OF harms way. That proverbial
stool for combing the hair Of the head Of the
family, was brought into readiness for ef
fective service. He was made to fairly trem-
BILE in his boots. The neighbors gathered in
wonder and amazement to witness what had
come over this hitherto peaceful family.
Mr.. Jones mildly requested his wife tc

That Dog License Matter.

There have been numerous applications
to the Treasurer and Clerk of the corpora
ton, by persons who have taken out dog
licenses, for the return of the money. 1t is
the intention of the council to have the
money paid hack to all who have taken out
licenses, but this payment can be made on
ly by an ordinance, which will probably
be done at an early day. When the Clerk
is legally authorized TO issue an order for
the return of the money notice of such
action will be published. Until that time
i will be useless to call for it.
GET YOUR MONEY.
Since the above was put in type there has
been a meeting of the council and an ordi-
nance passed for refunding the dog license
money. Persons holding licenses. can, up
on presentation Of the same st the Treasur-
er's Office. receive their money. So carry
the news to Mary" Ann.

come into the other room and speak to
her; she peremptorily refused, and threat
ened to put-her out of the house. Think
ing the joke had been carried far enough,
the husband introduced Aunt Dinah into
the presence of his wife, and when she had
fully comprehended the situation, there
was seme laughing, screaming and clap
ping of hands. Several others tried the
same game with similar results. The op-
erations of Aunt Dinah were ludicrous
enough to start the risables OF ny behold
er. wherever she was taken. In one
case she was brought into sick room,
where the pains of the patient gave way
for the time to the irresistible cOmicality
of the old lady's operations. Nothing has
occurred in this village for a long time,
that has caused so much real mirth. Even
those who were sold, seemed to enjoy the
joke as fully as others, and it will be a
long time before the people forget the vis-
it of Aunt Dinah-the colored washer
woman. K.

Ravenua Republican Suspended.

A Ravenna correspondent of the Cleve
land Herald says:
Our community was startled Monday
morning by the announcement that L. W.
Hall & Son had made an assignment for
the benefit Of creditors. 1t could hardly
be credited when first mentioned, for the
reason that Hall & Son had for q long time
been regarded as among our safest and
most successful business men, but the
closed doors and shutters of their business
house confirmed the report. Their assign
ees are Messrs. J. D. Horton and C. A.
Reed. attorneys of this town. No inven-
tory or statement of their assets or liabili-
ties has yet been made. but it is said on
the street that their liabilities are not far
from $4,000, and that their assets are
nominally much above that; and the hope
is expressed that IN the end they will pay
IN full: but the pressure of their debts,
most Of which are home ones, was so great
THAI they were obliged to suspend. In ad-
dition TO the publication of the Repu6li-
can Democrat they had for years carried
on book and notion store.

Educational Association.

The regular ni-monthly meeting of the
Ashtabula Educational Association was
held in the High School room at Ashtabula
on Saturday, 18th l1st. The meeting was
called to order by n. u Guthrie of Come
aut. The metric system. of weights and
measures, which has now Laen adopted by
some of the nations of Europe and recon-
mended to the u S., was illustrated and
explained by J. P. Treat of Geneva, in a
u very clear and satisfactory manner. The
system certainly possesses great advantages
over the cumbrous system of compound
numbers now in use; and the fact that it is
based on the decimal system, and weights
and measures of capacity are referred to an
Interchangeable unit, the meter, we venture
to predict, will secure its universal adop-
tion.
J. F. Wilson, of Ashtabula, read very
interesting paper on ''School Ethics" It's
object was to describe the class Of educated
men who enter the profession of teaching,
and who expect to make it life-work He
secuted the idea that young men as rule
enter the profession with a view to make it
stepping to something better, and
urged that the men now found at the head
CT principal schools in the State are con-
scientiOus, scholarly and thoroughly de-
voted to their work. The essay was logical,
critical and well wri ten.
Hon T. w Harvey, of Painesville, address
ed the Association on ''Three Defects 10 our
School System" In his preliminary re-
marks the speaker paid high compliment
TO the founders of the free school system Of
Ohio. Tine first defect is the want of
school, established by the State & supported
by its funds, for the professional education
of its teachers-that most of the bad teach
ing is due to the lneXperience of teachers,
and there is no means furnished for the sys-
tematic training of its teachers. That no
one should teach without having been
taught how to teach and how to govern.
The second defect is the want of county sup
erintendency. He pointed out the deplora-
BILE condition which most of the county and
district schools are in throughout the State,
and said that this would be remedied, TO q
great degree. by the appointment of compe-
tent men whose business itshould be TO Wis
it the schools in the county, grade them,
and hold teachers responsible for the sue
cess of their schools The third defect is
the old sub-district system, which ought to
be abolished. Mr.. Harvey, having been
School Commissioner, is thoroughly con-
versant with this last defect. and iiiustra-
ted its absurdity in the most impressive
way.
Prof. Harvey, being the author Of Har-
Yey's Grammar, of course was bssieged
with questions on English Grammar-some
Of them intended for information, but
many were intended to puzzle him and pick
flaws in his book; but he acquitted himself
to the satisfaction of all, and showed him
self to be a master of English Grammar.
The meeting was well attended, and all
profited. J.F. MUNsELL. Sec'y.
