AT the last session Congress passed bill
advancing to Captain Eads the money APP
propriated to pay him for his jetty works on
the Mississippi, which, according to the
original bill, was not due until the compile
ton Of the contract; but before it was paid
some Of Captain Eads's creditors claimed
that it should be paid TO them to satisfy old
Indebtedness. The matter was referred to
the Attorney General, who has decided that
the intention of Congress in making this APP
preparation available was to enable Captain
Eads to continue the work, and not to pay
his creditors. The opinion was submitted
to the Cabinet and approved, and the Secre-
tary Of War will act accordingly in disburs-
ing the money. lI7i 81

HoRACE's GAP,
Lima IL 1873


Harvest has begun in this part Of the
county, though the wheat is certainly
very green yet, and will require careful
shocking to insure thorough curing.
The crop in this vicinity will average
about fourteen or fifteen bushels per
acre, which is above the average of
number of years past.
| would like to see that wheat field
near Summit Point, which is expected
to yield forty bushels per acre; 1t is GER
tainly worth looking at. 1t would be
curiosity to me.
Mr.. Joseph L. Roberts had narrow
escape from violent death last Friday.
Mr.. II. was returning from Martins
burg, and took ''short cut" through
the farm of Mr.. A. S. cambridge, and
in crossing the creek near the 'tish-pot,
his horse stumbled and threw Mr.. Rob
erts over its head, into the water, but
as one of his feet remained in the stir
rup, he was dragged across the stream
against the bank on the Jefferson side,
when the girth gave way, thus releas-
ing him from his perilous position, and
lie escaped with few bruises, free
plunge bath and the loss of his hat; a
bag of potatoes which he was carrying
at the time of the accident was recov-
cred the next day.
Mr.. WageIey is making some i'm
provement at the Gap, by putting up
an addition TO the residence of Mr..
Lewis G. Lucas, said addition being in
the form Of a kitchen. Onward" is

Difficulty OF Obtaining Pure
Wine.

The difficulty Of Obtaining pure wine
for sickness is one great cause why phySi-
clans refuse to prescribe it where they
know it would be Il benefit or even cure
their patient, because they fear that some
poisonous mixture will be given them i'll
stead Of Port Wine. and the injury be il
reparable. Some California wines are be-
ing terribly mixed and adulterated with
alcohol and water and other ingredients
to make it cheap, so as to bring Il greater
profit from the sales. There is IN excel!
lent Port, said to be the finest wine in the
market, made in New Jersey, from the
Oporto Grape, by Alfred Speer, that has
become the most reliable wine for HoSpi-
tai and Communion purposes. This wine
has been thoroughly analysed and is
pronounced by chemists t" be the
pure juice of the grape, and to contain the
most valuable medicinal properties. 1t is
