There is Reaper whose name is Death
And with sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at breath
And the flowers that grow between"
The bearded grain has truly fallen be-
meath the relentless, and at this time, sud.
den stroke, of the Reaper-and one OF our
most stalwart, though an aged citizen, was
in an instant removed from life, and will
no more be seen on earth. Jacob Petty
died instantly from Paralysis of the heart
on the morning Of September 1s Was
in usual health apparently at breakfast. but
a few moments later the final stroke came.
Mr.. Petty was man highly esteemed, and
had often filled places of public trust. We
remember him in the first yeszhof our &C.
quaintances with with him and his COL
league Bernard Bowman, as Trustee OF
Reading township in 1853. Two better
men never represented or transacted bnsi-
nese for the township. The latter has long
years ago passed away. The strange vicis-
situdes of life, made the second wife of one
of these old neighbors and friends the Sec
ond wife of the last departed. The widow
Of the good man Bernard Bowman being
the second wife of Jacob Petty. There is
a strange poetry and romance in every day
life, which can not but impress upon every
soul the truth of Scripture that Goods ways
are past finding out"
Mr.. Petty was born in the State OF New
Jersey, April 18th, 1901. Emigrated to
Ohio, with his parents at an early day in
the history of Perry county to the vicinity
of Somerset. He leaves one son and two
daughters, with his mourning widow, or
earth. A large family have all passed
away before him, and he was the last Of
his fathers family. His age was 78 years
4 months and 90 days. OF him it can be
truly said: "The memory of the just il
blessed" He will rest in peace.

Vermin In Hogs

Lice on hogs can be successfully eradi.
Gated only BY the application Of exter.
nal remedies. Brushing them over light.
ly once week, during three successive
weeks. with . mixture Of one part of kero-
sene and two parts of olive oil, will rid
them Of vermin. Another remedy consists
in the following: Take eight ounces of
white hellbone root and three gallons of
water. Boil it together in somo old ves-
sci. until only two gallons Of the fluid re-
mains. When cold, add clear lime water,
freshly made, two quarts. Shake the fluid
we'll together. and keep in corked bottles
for use. Where there are Q large number
of lousy hogs. the quantity may be incrsss-
ed in the same proportion. However.
treatment will be of little svail, II gener-

wherewith the animals have been in i'm.
mediate contact, the scantling and the
posts OF the styes or enclosure ~ we'll as
the troughs, the walls Of the piggery, or

have infested hogs and their pens, nothing
but persistent warfare and cleanliness will
rid them Of these vermin.

THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
it's youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
As dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

$1OO, 100000 A YEAR.

This is the amount which the govern
ment pays every year in interest upon the
national debt.
This is the amount [sometimes larger]
that it has paid for the last fifteen years.
Up to the present time it has paid nearly
81, 200, ,000, 900 Of interest money.
Did you, Mr. Reader, ever stop to com.
pute what an enormous sum S100,000,000
really is?
Did you ever estimate how many terms,
each one carrying q ton, it would take to
haul off $500 900 standard silver dol
lars?
Why, it would take procession of over
twenty Eve hundred teams each carrying a
ton to haul that amount!
What procession it would be!
Over twenty Eve hundred teams loaded
with silver dollars!
Then suppose you compute what it
would take in corn at 20 cents per bushel
to pay this 800, ,OO0,O every year.
Only 500,O00,OOO bushels!
How many teams, each carrying ton'
would it take to haul off this amount of
corn!
only $4,000, 900 teams!
Ye gods of heaven and earth. what a
procession!
Suppose that each team occupies two
rods, it would make 100 teams to q mile.
The procession would be $3.50 miles
long.
1t would reach four times around the
globe.
1t would extend thirty times across the
continent from New York to San Francis
CO.
And let us compute what procession o.
teams it would take to haul corn enongt
to pay the 81, 20, 100000 of interest money
that has gone into the bondbolder's NAV
since the debt was created.
1t would make procession 1,593,75(
miles long.
| 1t would reach 6S times around the
world, and $40 across the American con
timentl
What a procession!
Keep il up year after year, and genera
ton after geaeration, and what a grand
magnificent funeral process ion it will
for the American Republic.

pr ocession and drive on.
Drive on to Death and Destruction!

Chat by the Way.

Who was 1t that said very oeautifully
Of man who had just died that he had
"gone over to the MAJORITY"
II was Hood, of ever pleasant memory,
who exposed the peculiar weakness of
every sportsman by saying, what he hit
Is history (his story and what he missed
is mystery tmy story)."
Douglas Jerrold was not only witty, but
exceedingly impertinent' He hated that
overwhelming conceit which prompts
man to walk the street with the air Of one
who has just foreclosed heavy mortgage
on the university and bought the property
in at auction. Whenever he met such o
one he actually did what we would all
like to do if we dared. e., he went up TO
him, took his hat off respectfully, and
asked, spray sir, are you anybody in par
ticular?"
1t requires a certain capacity sfor good
in yourself to appreciate the good in 9TH
ers: and the converse is unhappily true
also, for if you constantly see the bad in
others you may safely conclude that you
are not exactly what you ought to be your
self.
Charles Lamb once said that the great
est pleasure he knew was to do good &C

accident.

One small line Of poetry tells the whole
story of human history: As the world

cities, we just cut the line in two and let
the first half float over the one, while the

Great Enterprises.

Thr present time is fruitful in schemes
of great magnitude. There are already
projected.
A new suspension bridge over :Niagra

A new Atlantic cable in addition to that
now in process of construction.
A ship canal across the isthmus Of
Darien;
A ship railroad scross the same strip o
land, separating two oceans;
A railroad over the desert Of Sahara,
connecting Algeria and Soudan;
A canal, which conveying the waters of
the Mediterranean into the sands of Africa
shall make great inland sea and fertilize
arid wastes.
The establishment of water communica-
tion between the Black and Caspian seas.
Add to these enterprises, moat of which
seem likely to be undertaken in the near
future:
Ericson's scheme for utilizing the Gums

The various plans of geographical dis
covery;
The solution of the mysteries of central
Africa, and the civilization of its savages;
The destruction of the worlds plaques;
The emancipation of every slave;
Universal education;
The adjustment of the relations of labor
and capital;
The solution of the population question;
The discos very and adoption of the final
