A Handsome Income for an Energetic
Lady or Gentleman.

The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati have
just a,ented and are now introducing to
the public handsomely finished family
scale, an article that has always been
needed in every household, and in CON-
addressed to the publisher of
this paper the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party, to introduce
it for them TO the people of this county.
1t is very seldom that a new article steps
so suddenly into universal favor. House
keepers are loud in It's praise, it is always
ready, there are no weights to get lost or
TO be hunted up, is reliable and will not
get out of order. The description OF them
is a handsome base surmounted by a COL
umn in which works a spiral spring so
scientifically as to weigh anything up to
twelve pounds with perfect accuracy, on
the of the top Of the column is the plat
form on which the articles to be weighed
are placed, and they have an adjustable
indicator SO that you can take the tare of
any vessel you may use in weighing, Civ
ing you the exact net weight. House.
keepers at once see their value in weigh.

certainly a rare opportunity for some

Death BY Drowning. !

A sad and fatal accident occurred
at the upper mill pond on Sunday
morning. Mr.. Caters crew were sluic.
ing logs through the gate, one of the
logs lodged on the slip. a yonng fellow
named Tom Robson went to shove it
off, his cant dog stuck il the log and
somehow or other he lost his gasp Of
it and fell, he was instantly swept of
by the current, which was so swift
that he could not swim to the right
or to the left, and was carried toward
the jam, whichehad formed about 80
yards from the end of the slip, when
he reached the jam he threw up lis
arms leisurely-instead Of throwing
his whole body boldly forward and
Notwithstanding to crawl up on
the log without any trouble, but, the
current, as quick a.: lightning. swept
him under the jam, and the poor fel.
lows doom was sealed. T." ID ''7s"".s
AS soon as possible the gates were
shut down, the jam broke, a boat and
drags secured and search instituted for
the body, which was found at 21p. NJ,
nearly tive hours after the accident
occurred. The body was dragged to
the shore-but not out of the water
and covered over with a blanket to
await the action Of the coroner, who
arrived about Is minutes later; after
examining two or three witness as to
how the accident occurred, DR.. Gile-
the coroner-ordered the body to be
be removed from the river; the life.
