ing in our township at present-some are
dying, but most are recovering.
We had fine social picnic on Saturday
last at the southeast corner of the town.
Good speeches were made by Pro. Smell,
Cyrus Stone, and others.
Stone, our new merchant, is making a
fair beginning. His gentlemanly demean-
or and fair deal are sure omens of success.
Connected with the townshiphe is opening
fine fountain in front of his store, which
will be good improvement.
On Friday last Mr.. Chester Lampson-

Misplaced Confidence.

A farmer from Saybrook, by the name of
Hiram SlOcom, was made the victim of the
three card monte men at the circus last Fri
day to the tune of $40. Hiram was TAX
ing in the wondersin the side show, when
when a spruce looking young man invited
him and another man to part of the show
which was secluded from the gaze of the
gaping crowd. Sharper Mol said he was
from New York and that he was about to
open a store in AshTabula; that he wanted
the farmer and the other man (who we will
designate as sharper No. q to tell their
neghbors and do what they could for him,
at the same time handing each a SO bill
for their trouble. He said he advertised ex-
cluseively by cards, and three cards which
he was handling during the conversation
led the farmer to believe such was the case.
MOI then handed a card to each of his
listeners, and asked them if they had fifty
or hundred dollars with them as he would
like to know if they were responsible par
ties. No.2 said he.had money andshowed up
a good sized roll of greenbacks, and the
Saybrook farmer likewise showed up his
pile in which there was $11O. He had
however no sooner opened his pocket book
when sharper No. 1 snatched the whole
amount, saying he won it when the farmer
drew the card, The poor farmer expostu-
lated but to no effect, and then ran out
for policeman. He found an officer near
by, but the door tender would not let him
re-enter without purchasing another ticket
when he again entered the tent the sharpers
had disappeared, but the lesson still re-
mains fresh in the mind of the farmer and
probably will as long as he lives.

Our Advice to those ont OF Employ
ment.

One Of the best and most desirable ways for a
man to make money is to secure an agency, with
exclusive control of his territory, to canvass
with some reliable article for which there is
great demand; your sueeess is assured when you
secure an indispensable article. The beauty of
such business makes yOul time YOUR own.
To supply the above we recommend to you the
Universal Family Platform Scale, patented De-
cember 3d. 1878; it is the cheapest and most seTv-
icabe Scale we have heard Of for family use it is
made of brass highly polished or nickel plaIed it
has no weights 70 get lost, and gives parties a
chance to compare weights with their grocer and
butcher, thus paying for itself in a short time.
This Scale sold faster during the past year than
they could be manufactured, but the prOprietOrs of
same have so increased their capacity during the
past two months that they are now prepared to
fill all orders on sight with much improved scale.
We feel satisfied in saying that q good and en-
ergetic agent can make from $500 70 $1,000 per
day during the next three months in this county
selling this scale. We adYise you to address the
OHIO SCALE WORKS 1875 and 127 Central Avenue,
