New diseoveries-or what is claimed to
be discoveries-of the healing virtues Of
plants are continually being made. One
of the latest is, that celery is cure for
rheumatism; indeed it is asserted the dis
ease is impossible if the vegetable be cook
ed and freely eaten. The fact that it is
almost always put on the table raw, pre-
vents its theraputic powers from becoming
known. The celery should be cut into bits,
boiled in water until soft, and the water
drank by the patient. Put new milk with
little flour and nutmeg into a saucepan
with the boiled celery, serge it warm with
pieces of toast, eat 1t with potatoes, and
the painful ailment will soon yield. Such
is the declaration of physician who has
again and again tried the experiment, and
with uniform success. He adds that cold
or damp never produces but simply devel-
ops the disease, of which acid blood is the
primary and sustaining cause, and that
while the blood is alkaline there can neith-
er be rheumatism or gOut. English statis-
tics show that in one year-1876-3,64O
persons died Of rheumatism, and every case,
it is claimed, might have been cured or
prevented by the adoption of the remedy
mentioned. At least two-thirds of the
cases named heart disease are ascrIbed to
rheumatism and its agonizing ally-gout.
Smallpox so much dreaded is not half so
destructive as rheumatism, which Is main
tained by many physicians, can be pre-
vented by obeying natures laws in diet.
But if you have incurred it, boiled celery
is pronounced unhesitatingly to be a spe.
cifc.

Cheap Wheat.
A late number of the Walla Walla

A late number of the Walla Walla
Washington Territory WatehmaH says:
The question is frequently asked, What
does it cost to raise wheat in the great val
ley of Walla Walla? After careful in
quiry, we adduee the following answer:
1t costs about S1.90 per acre to pillow, SOW
and seed; S1-25 to cut and head, and about
seven cents per hushel to thresh and sack
1t. This includes wages, board. and hired
help, and horse feed. A header usually
works up from fifteen to twenty acres, and
threShes, with good machinery, clean up
from 1900 to 5000 bushels per day.
Harvest hands receive frCm 50 TO So per
day and board. The yield this year is
larger and heavier than usual, and ranges
all the way from twenty-five to sixty bush
els to the acre. Wheat, according to the
above figures, can be raised and sacked for
twenty-fOur cents a bLShel, and is worth
to-day fifty cents, which shows conclusive
~ that our farmers have a perfect little
bonanza.

WASHINGTON, October Private letters
received here from Ohio Democrats Law
great stress upon the prediction that they
will carry the Legislature and thus save
Thurman's scalp. They allege that the still
hunt in close counties is working admira-
bly,, and beats big meetings and base drums.
AS to.the election of Ewing, it is evident
that the Democrats are not sangulne.
Many Of them declare that it is far more
important to save the Legislature, il both
can not be carried, for Senator's term is
six years, and his power in National poll
ties incomparably greater than that of
Governor.

Our Maine namesake who spoke to the
people so eloquently at the Opera House
on Tuesday evening, in conversation, gave
it as his cpinion-the assertion of which
we cannot but think he was fully warrant
ed in making-that with the present cleo
tion greenbackism would cease TO be an Is
sue in American politics.
The cry of fraud is the Democratic stock
in trade. In 1861, the South said it would
shoot the nation to death, and, when every
preparation had been made for inaugurat-
ing the rebellion, its members retired from
Congress, lecturing us on our constitution
al duties. Now they say that, if they can
not haYe free fraud, they will starve the
Government to death. Thirty-six men,
bers of the House and twelve Senators from
the South occupy their seats by fraud and
violence; they have not asingle constituent.
They represent the eolored population who
are not allowed to vote. They control the
legislation of this country. By purity ol
elections they mean free fraud.

Hubbard is fearfully excited over war
in the NJ. E. Church at that place. Some
of the brethren were opposed to the pastor
who was there last year and objected to his
coming back. Notwithstanding the Con-

gnashing of teeth. One of the brethren
got up in church and asked for letters for
himself and twenty-five others.

MEssRs. HALL AND REED.-Tuesday ev-
ening was well spent one for the Repub-
liean cause. The opening speech was
made by Theodore Hall, Esq. The speak
er acquitted himself well, and opened the
way for Hon. Thos. B. Reed, in very sat
isfactory and able manner. Mr.. Reeds
appearance was his first before an Ashtabu-
la audience. He entered upon his work
with an ease, freedom and force, which
did not require much time to bring speak
er and audience into generous sympathy.
His intellect, like his physical deYelop-
ment, was of the strong, down east mould.
Training had made him familiar with ev-
cry branch of campaign matter, and be
brought into exercise a mingled vain of
quaint humor, and vigorous logic. The
audience were convulsed with laughter,
and applause was frequent and boisterous,
and the audience alternsted between rol-
icing humor and admiration at the speak
er's ready range of familiarity in every
phase Of his subjects. Democrat as well
as Republican overfowed with kindliness
and pleasantly following the train Of
thought with close attention, and tscitly
and almost unconseiously accepted the
conclusions of the speaker. No Ashtabu-
la audience has ever listened to so popular
and happy stump speaker. A reception
was held at the Ashtabula House after the
speech, and many of our citizens met Mr..
R. in pleasant interview.

Tuesday, the 18th inss., is the day that
brings the struggle for deciding our po-
litieal statue as State for the next two
years and to exert an important influence
in settling the political character of the
nation for the next presidential term Of
four years. We hardly need to be told,
that full vote in the State secures a Re
publican victory, and will have much to
do to avert the evils which are So likely to
befall us, if we allow ourselves to fall into
the hands Of the brigadiers-the men who
shaped tne legislation of the extra session.
Though the indications Of success have
been contemplated with some degree of
confidence, let no Republican voter take
it for granted that we can look fer full
vote without vigilance and effort. 1t be-
hooves every man, therefore, to see that
every Republican vote that can be secured
shall be got out and made to count against
Ewing and his greenback folly. See that
your influence shall be extended to its ut
most in securing a full vote. and securing
the election of Foster and Hickenlooper.
Don't forget your German friends on
election day. They are generally hard
money men, and have asserted their dis
relish for Ewing and his rag baby theories.
They goes for Hickenlooper and victory!

pass were tried at the recent term of the
Crawford County Court: The cases were
brought by DR.. Vim. Gibson and James
MeMaster of jamestown, against the Erie

lowing circumstances: The Company in
procuring right of way for their road, in
1860, in consideration Of such grant by the
plaintiffs, agreed to give them annual pass
es for themselves and families during the
lives of plaintiffs. The agreement was full
filled until 1874, when the Pennsylvania
Company, operating the road refused to
grant passes, and suit was brought for
damages. DR.. Gibson received an award
of So, 100 and Mr.. McMaster $2, 102. 80 from

The Prince de Joinville brought home
from one of his voyages the entire costume
of Queen of Zanzibar. 1t was contained
in box twice as large as his hand. The
ladies of the royal family Of Louis Philippe
at the Tuileries crowded around to see the

A small military expedition against the
Ute Indians in,Northern Colorado has been
surprised and compelled to retreat. The
commander of the party, Major Thorn
burgh, was killed, together with ten or
twelve of his men. This calamitous affair
was the result of a dispute which arose at
the Milk Creek branch of the White River
Agency, between the agent, Mr.. N. C.
Meeker, and the Utes. 1t is belieyad that
Mr.. Meeker and his white assistants have
been massacred; and, although their is no
positive confirmation of this belief, it seems
quite probable that it will be justified by
the facts. The melancholy features of this
tragical event are the insigniicance of the
original dispute, and the apparent rash
ness with which a feeble little column of
troops was sent where it could be over
whelmed by superior numbers.
