A woman named Mrs. Sarah Croft
who lives at Beartown, Lancaster
county, about thirteen months ago,
while taking a drink at spring
swallowed something which she took
to be small piece of wood. Three
months ago she lost her appetite and
began to grow thin and pale. Doctor
after doctor was tried until the number
had reached eleven, but none of them
succeeded in reviving her. At length
her case was given up as hopeless and
she was told she must die. She was
now reduced to a mere skeleton,
weighing only forty pounds. Several
days ago she went to Lancaster and
there was discovered at the Leopard
house by DR.. Campbell, the worm
doctor of this city, who undertook to
treat her for tape worm. His method
was so far successful that she was re-
lieved of no less than seven crabs, two
large and five small ones, the former
being fully one inch and the latter at
least half an inch in length. The
woman has regained her appetite and
bids fair to ultimately recover her
health. The case has excited great
amount of interest in Lancaster.

A Handsome Income For An

ENERGETIC LADY OR GENTLEMAN.
The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati
have just patented and are now in
Producing to the public Handsomely
finished Family Scale, an article
that has always been needed in every
household, and in a communication
addressed to the publishers of this
paper the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party, to intro
duce it for them to the people of this
County. 1t is very seldom that q
new article steps SO suddenly into uni
versal favor. House-keepers are loud
in its praise, it is always ready. there
are no weights to get lost or to be
hunted up, it is reliable, and will not
get out of order. The description of
them is a handsome base surmounted
by a column in which works spiral
spring so scientifically adjusted as to
weigh anything up to twelve pounds
with perfect accuracy, on the top of
the column is the platform 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,
giving you the exact net weight.
House-keepers at once see their value
in weighing fruits, sugars and other
ingredients used in preserving, cook
ing ETC., or in testing the weights of
purchases from others.
The scales are made of Brass, are
highly polished and are finished in a
skillful manner. They are very at
tractive and take the eye of every one
who sees them.
1t seems to US that nearly every
family in this county will want one,
and is certainly rare opportunity for
some smart and energetic party to pick
up quite a nice little income during
the next few months. The Company
has agents in other counties who are
easily making from $5 90 to &c 90 per
day selling them, and we would re
commend parties in need of employ
ment to drop the OHIO SCALE

Important to Township Auditors.

Township auditors too often neglect
the publication of the township ac-
counts. This is required by law, and
penalties are affixed for neglect. Cases
have come before the courts in several
counties of the State, and the auditors
have been fined for neglect. The sub
stance of several laws on the subject is
as follows;
FIRST. The auditors are required
in each borough and township to
settle the accounts thereof, and to
publish the same not only in news
papers, but also by written or printed
statements put up in the most public
places in the borough and township, as
soon after the close of the fiscal year,
which is on the first Monday in April,
as possible.
SECOND. If the borough or township
is in debt, has u funded or floating
debt it most be included in the state
ment together with the valuation of
property, etc. and In at least two news
papers, and embraced in the written
or printed statements also.
1t is necessary that the auditors of
the respective boroughs and townships
should go to work at once and settle
the accounts, as they are in duty bound
to do, and have them published as the
law directs. When the borough or
township has no Indebtedness, neglect
to publish incurs fine OF $50; but if
the borough or township is in debt, the
neglect incurs a fine of one thousand
dollars.

How TO SuppoRr A HOME PAPER

How TO SUPPORT A HOME PAPER
The support, says the ~ Y. Observer,
is rendered by prompt remittance Of
the trifling sum that each one owes I;
which trifle makes the paper what it
is. Some of our best friends forget or
neglect this little matter on the mis-
taken plea that one among SO many
will make no difference. Itjust makes
the difference between strength and
weakness, between live, growing, in
structive, entertaining sheet, and,
and-one of the other sort. If you
would have the best family paper that
is made you must pay for it. 1t costs
you less than half a cent day, and
the more the shame and the sin If you
do not give yourself and family the
good of it.
