Is the most perfect, and easiest operating
derrick fork In existence. One man can
operate 1t with the greatest ease, as the strain
OF lifting the fork causes It to grappIe its
load automatically. while a pull upou the
releasing cord, when the fork has been lifted
to the desired place, causes it to drop the load
instantly;
There is nothing In the construction Of this
Fork thatis liable to get cat of order
Farmers will do well to examine fhis Hay
Fork, as it saves expense and greatly faoili-
tates the handling OF hay, grain and straw,

Dark Days for Master and NIan.

New YORK, Nov. 20.-A Glasgow spe-
cial gives talk with the workingmen
now on strike. He says: ''The resolu-
tion of the Clyde Shipbuilders' Engineers
Association, which went into force the
21st of October, reducing our wages not
less than seven and half per cent, has
been the cause of bitterness. of feeling be-
tween master and man. Their motto to-
ward us has been Monterey and we will
give as good as we get. We number over
twenty thousand members in England,
Ireland and Scotland and we have at the
present moment over 5000, 900 in gener-
al fund. see dark days ahead of us all.
The shipbuilding trade on the Clyde will
suffer heavily. Many a one of us with
our wives and BARNS will soon know once
more what hunger means. Some of the
men are gloomy, for they fear our trade
will be killed. When the Employers com
mittee met, the 9TH of last month, we sent
in our petition, asking if they would
compromise with us on five per cent. re-
duction with piece work and time wages
as before, but they were too stif-necked
to hear us. 1 hope we shan't see labor
riots, but things look as if they were drift
ing that way very quickly.

xenia Bank Directors Not Found

xenia Torchlight, goth.

Xenia Torchlight, Doth.
Mot guilty." read the verdict given by
the jury yesterday morning in the case
of the state against Mr.. John B. Allen.
This is the beginning, doubtless, of the
end of the series of indictments brought
in by the recent grand jury against the
directors of the First National bank of
this city, charging them with completely
with the late cashier of said bank in mis-
appropriation and loss of special deposits,
etc.; charge against men of such high
standing and character as business men
and citizens, that no one in this county for
a moment believed to be true. Hence our
whole community was as anxious as were
these honorable men themselves, to have
the case come before the judge and jury
at the earliest moment, believing that the
light of an open court would reveal the
prosecution in the cases to be a persecution.
Such, we think it has already proved to
be, as Judge Smith in his review of the
testimony in Mr.. Aliens case-which is
similar to that of all the other directors
stated that there was not particle of ev-
idenee adduced in the case that in the re-
mOtest degree implicated Mr.. Allen as a
party knowing to any irregularities in
the bank or losses sustained through the
late cashier, and that it therefore became
his duty to instruct the jury TO return
the verdict for the defendant. (which they
did, without leaving their seats.

The temperance legislation in Connec-
ticut has at last come to affect New Hav-
Ell, and has given rise to a peculiar state
of affairs there. The licenses for the sale
of Intoxicating drinks in that city ex-
pired a few days ago, and as no new Ii
censes can be obtained for the present a
large number of the liquor dealers, who
obey the law in not selling spurious
liquors commonly so-called, have persist
ed in selling certain grade of beer which
tastes and appears like lager beer, and, as
many say, has the same effect on the hui
man system. The new drink is called
Schenck beer, and the dealers aver that it
is not an intoxicant as contemplated by
the statute in reference to lager beer; one
of the reasons given being that Schenck
beer does not contain half so much alco-
hol as lager does, as it is beer that has
not been stored and "rested'' before sale.
In order to test this question samples of
Schenck were purchased by spies few
days ago, and three dealers were arrested ;
the cases were continued for ten days in
order that the samples may be sent to the
State chemist for analysis.-N. 7. Post.

The Prime OF Life.

The Sanitarium.
Between the ages of forty-fYe and six
ty man who has properly regulated
himself may be considered in the prime
of life. His matured strength of consti-
tuition renders him almost impervious to
an attack of disease, and experience has
given soundness to his Judgment. His
mind is resoIute, firm and equal; all his
functions are in the highest order; he
assumes mastery oyer his business, builds
up a competence on the foundation he has
laid in early manhood, and passes through
period of life attended by many gratifi-
cations. Having gone year or two over
sixty, he arrives at a stand-stiil. But
athwart this is the viaduct called the turn
of life, which, if crossed in safety, leads
to the valley of sold age" round which
the river winds, and then beyond, with
out boat or causeway to effect his passage.
The bridge is, however, constructed of
fragile material, and it depends how it is
trodden whether it bend or break. Gout
and apoplexy are also in the vicinity to
waylay the traveller and thrust him from
the pass; but let him grid up his loins
and provide himself with filter staff,
and he may trudge on in safety and with
perfect composure. To quit metaphor,
''the turn of life'' is turn into either a
prolonged walk or into the grave. The
system and powers, having reached the
utmost expansion, now begin either tt
close like flower at sunset or break dowr
at once. One injudicious stimulant, a sin
gle fatal excitement, may force it beyonC
it's strength, whilst a careful supply o
props and the withdrawal of all that tend
to force plant, will sustain it in beaut.
and vigor until night has entirely set in
