From the numerous press notices of
the Company we copy the following
from the Philadelphia Sunday Mirror.
For the second week of its season,

its patrons versatile comedy entitled
"The Four Seasons" It was full Of
movement and vivacity, and will
doubtless "take' among the masses.
Mr.. J. III. Rowe as Bile Hawkins. the

a sterling actor, and made the most 0f
the part. Mr.. John DeGez, Mr.. VIM.
F. Carroll. Lemuel North and George
B. Radcliffe portrayed respectively the
roles Of Harry Whiting, Andy Regan,
Chris Hahn and Jefferson Bowers, the
latter "a culled pussQn," was excel
lently well done. Miss Annie Wake
man as Rose Naydower, Miss Kitty
Rhoades as Lucy Fairchild. Miss Lulu
Delmay as Esteile Celeste, and Miss
George Parker as Susan Sweetapple,
the cast. The third act Of
the comedy partakes something of the
nature Of the :" Tourists" -" Fun on the
Bristol" etc., each one of the comedy
parts giving their several specislties in
q somewhat disjOinted way, like the
in a pantomime.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Rev. A. B. Maxwell was here a week
ago yesterday, and preached morning
and evening in the Congregational
Church. He came with his second
wife, who is daughter of Rev. DIR.
McMaster, of Poland.
The firm of Spires, Hiddleson & Co.
have put up new shop, which will
make room for five or six more work
men. This looks encouraging, as if
their business was extending beyond
its former limits.
Thomas Green was buried here last
Tuesday. He was over 80 years of age
and spent the last few years of his life
In Ravenna.
The members Of the Congregational
Sabbath School held picnic in E. HI.
Beach's woods last Thursday.
w. III. Belts, of Limaville, gave a
literary entertainment in the church
at the Station last Friday evening.
Mr.. Lane will preach his farewell
sermon next Sabbath evening.
One-third of the public school chill
dren of New York city are near-sight-
ed on account Of poor light and bad
ventilation. It ought to be added low
desks and small print. When the
desks are low the head has to be held
in a nearly horizontal position, which
gives the fluid of the eyes tendency
to gravitate into the anterior chamber
of the eye causing a bulging of the
oornea. When we add to this the
straining of the eyes to read fine print
the1effect..is terrible. Three fourths of
the type In which newspapers are
printed is too small. 1 wish I could
show you a specimen of the A." Trans

A book in small print is a dangerous
companion. The PRESS is one of the
best printed papers that I know of.
But what must we think of the city
papers which have for their object the
enlightenment of the country people
but are in danger of making many of
us blind. w.

suicide OF Ch2fleS Ayfiffes
On Friday morning, September 18th
Mr.. Charles Aylife, Of Brimfield. com
mitted suicide by cutting his throat
with . razor. For several years he
had been subject to occasional turns
of mental arrangement, and some
three years ago DR.. Wright, Of Tall
madge, told his wife that she need not
be. surprised if he should become vio-
lent 1t times. Still tho family did not
feel seriously afraid Of him until quite
recently. A few weeks ago he had .
very severe turn of diphtheria, and
since then mental arrangement had
been increasing, until he shocked his
family and the entire community by
his tragic death.
He wss born il Hungerford, Berk-
shire county, England, May 23d. 1887.
He WAS the third Of family Of nine
five Of whom, three sisters
and one brother, in England, and ono
John Ayliffe, in Shalersville,
O., survive him. In 1853 he emigrat-
cd to this country and settled in Ra-
yenna, where his brother John had
been for some three years. He
remained here most of the time till
1868, when he removed to Brimfield
where he has since resided.
He was twice married, first to Miss
Amelia Gilmore, by whom he had two
Eliza and Mary. Some years
after the death of his first wife, he
was married, August 10th, 1868, to
Mrs. Catharine Boszor, by whom he
had one child, a son, who with his two
sisters and mother still survive.
Naturally he was kind hearted,
good dispositioned man, one who
universal respect. His.
honesty and veracity were unques.
TONED. AS neighbOr he was friend
~ and accommodating. AS husband
and father afIectionate and indulgent.
The happiness of himself and family
was diminished by an unfortunate
TO and he prob
sbly suffered more from this cause
han even his most intimate friends
estimate. His funeral services, con-
1ucted by Rev. Andrew Wilson, as
sisted by Rey. E.Morris, was held on
Sunday afternoon at his late residence
md were attended by q very large
,oncourse OF people who testified by
heir presence their respect for the
deceased and their sympathy with the
afflicted. The sermon was from Math.
wv IL; %, Christ's invitation to the
weary and heavy laden.

Correspondence.
The Republicans of this place held
a great ratification meeting on Satur-
day evening last. The meeting was a
perfect fzzle. The people were ad-
dressed by Mr.. o. P. Sperra and Mr..
B. Rowland, of Ravenna. The prin-
cipal part Of the speeches were How
the Republican party put down the
Rebellion" They would like to make
the people believe that the Democrats
did not do one solitary thing to help
put down the Rebellion. If it had
not been for the Democrats who were
present We doubt if there would have
been a meeting at all, as the crowd
was so small.
The Welsh Baptists and Methodist
Churches of this place are holding a
series of meetings. Quite q number of
prominent ministers are present and
the meetings are largely attended.

buy Is cent sizes of proprietary med
icine. But they make mistake. For
instance, DIR. Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry contains about eight times the
quantity of ordinary % cent cough
balsams. Besides it takes less guam
tity of Wistar's Balsam to cure cold.
A single dose is often sufficient. For

The Value of Pure Wine in
Sickness.

The chief difficulty with reliable
wines has been their scarcity and ex-
: orbitant price, but this has been re-
moved by the introduction of pure
Native Wine, produced from the
Oporto grape by Mr.. Alfred Speer, of
New Jersey. We understand that he
has submitted his wine to the test of
many of our celebrated physicians,
and aIl concur in its purity, medicinal
properties, and superiority to the best
imported Port Wine. Most of them
prescribe it in cases of debility, affec-
tions of the kidneys, and chronic
complaints, requiring tonic, sudorific
or diuretic treatment. - Examiner.
