it may be useful to know that hoarseness
is relieved by using the white of an egg,
thoroughly beaten, mixed with lemon
juice and sugar. A t~easpoonfull taken
occasionally is the dose.
Floor oil cloth &c.,, at the Mammoth.
Our friend J. E. Hopkins, Esq, the
genial and popular oyster, fish and game
dealer at No. 264 West 9Th street, Gin
%cinnati, has our thanks for his handsome
Thanksgiving donation, through Cap.
Wilson. The fresh mackerel were bully.
A man is canvassing Ohio towns, tax
ing orders for red, white and blue tube
rose bulbs. His method is a certain
price when he delivers the bulbs, and
the remainder in the spring when the
bulbs bloom. He is pronounced to be a
fraud. Look out for him.
The Postmaster General has addressed
a circular to refuse to pay money-orders
to proprietors of lotteries and to mail the
same to the Office from which they came
marked fraudulent and to return and
send to the dead letter office all letters
addressed to lottery proprietors.
Buckwheat -four is now in the market,
and u citizens are enjoying the luxury
of a buckwheat-cake breakfast. This
diet is not generally recommended by
hygenists, but it is our opinion that the
buckwheat cake received its bad name
before people knew how to make them.
Good Jeans 25c., at the Mammoth.
Thanksgiving Day was observedin Ea-
ton by a union meeting of the Presbyte-
rian, Methodist, Christian and Baptist
churches, in the Presbyterian church.
A good congregation assembled and a
fine sermon by Rev. W. B. DePoy was
preached appropriate to the occasion.
Tom Proctor, of the "HoME WEEKLY"
Xenia, o., was married last week to
Miss Swindler, one of the teachers of that
institution. We have had our fear for
some time that the innocent creature of
the "Home Weekly" was in a condition
to be "swindled." He's got it, and we
hope he'll be contented.
John F. Brubaker and Peter Eikenber-
ry, living near Wheatville, are agents for
80
Leicester Canada Lambs, said to be
healthy and fine wool sheep. They had
a couple on exhibition in Eaton on Sat
urday last. Farmers wanting any of this
stock can be supplied by calling on either
of the above gentlemen.
An exchange thinks if there is anything
ON earth that will make one long for ''the
old home on the hillside" "the old oak
en- bucket ''the orchard, the meadow,
the deep tangled wild wood" the whal-
ings at school and other places, is to run
for Office and be buried under some other
fellows majority.
The ladies of the Presbyterian Church
will hold a social an Thursday evening,
December 18th, in the church. Refresh
ments will be served. Admission ten
cents. We trust the community gener-
ally will attend, and assist a worthy en-
terprise, as well as enjoy a time for the
cultivation of kind and neighborly feel
ing.
Now is the time to commence plying
the poor. 1t is also a good time to com
mence helping the NEEDY poor. Remem-
Der that a load of wood, a bushel of pota-
toes, a sack of -four, &C., will go farther
and do more good than the longest wind
ed prayer that was ever uttered. "He
who giveth to the poor lendeth to the
Lord" The security is good and it is
presumable that a fair rate of interest is
always allowed.
The "Charm Baking Powder" is now
the popular and f~avorably known article
that every housewife in the land is using
for culinary purposes, Messrs. Ayers &
Hilbert being the Agents for Eaton. We
have had it tested and can say there is
none better. 1t takes less of it than any
other and chemists pronounce it entirely
harmless or injurious to the system. Try
a a of it and see for yourselves.
Bro. Roland, of the Greenville DEMO
Graf, says that the hog ordinance of that
city vas passed against the ''protest Of
more than two-thirds of a majority OF the
citizens" Then a ''two-thirds'' must
own hogs or are half hogs themselves,
for what any lover of health and cleanli-
ness in a village wants a horde of these
dirty, filthy brutes prowling around,
roofing, shooting and befouling every
thing they come in contact with, is a
matter we would like to have satisfactor.

Corn loses one-ffth by drying and
wheat one-fourteenth. From this the es-
innate is made-that it is more profitable
for farmers to sell unshelled corn in the
fall for 70 cents than at 81 a bushel IL
the following summer, and that wheat al
slips in December is equal to 81. so in the
succeeding June. In the case of potatoe:
taking those that rot and are otherwise
lost-together with shrinkage, there il
but little doubt that between October anc
June the loss to the owner who holds
them is not less than thirty-three pc
cent.
Postmasters who don't know their du
ties and responsibilities under the posta
laws are altogether toonumerous. They
have no business to return a paper be
cause it is not lifted. The law provides
them with blanks and stamps to motif.
the publishers, and failing to send sucl
notice and allowing a paper to continu,
render them liable for the subscription
price. In some cases P. MS return
paper without even putting their ofic,
stamp on it, leaving the publisher t.
guess where it comes from. This not onl,
is a positive violation of law but is yer,
