reference to the total vote Of 1876 From
what Western State have the Republicans
taken votesY With the largest vote they
ever polled, and handsome relative
gain, in Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Delaware, il may safely b. said that they
have diverted no part of their force from
those States OF all the border Southern
State, West Virginia is the only one IN
which they have not made relative gain
In all the others they have Cast more
votes than they did four years ago, and
have reduced the Democratic m joriles
in proportion 10 the total vote. II the
Republicans have colOuized voters from
anywhere IN this Uuion, evidently 1t must
have been from South Carolina, Florida,
Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana, for there
only have they sustained relative losses,
excepting in the Pacific States, where the
Morey forgery did its work, and in West
Virginia and Maine, where the Green
back movement held All unusual share of
Republican strength, But Is there a
single Democrat who can believe that
26 900 Republican voters were moved
from the far South into New York, and
registered here and voted here, without
any suspicion uBtil after the votes haG

in Phenix Block last Friday night, and
notwithstanding the einclementweather
there were large numbers of ladies

hundred pieces of various grades,

of going abroad to purchase anything
in the line of carpets-that they can
obtain as good goods and at as low
figures at this house as elsewhere.
Messrs. Smith s. Elson are entitled to
great credit for their enterprise and
should receive the liberal patronage
of the people of Ravenna and vicinity.

Saturday evening there was a re-
union of the family of Mr.. o. e. Sco-
will on Perry street, the occasion being
the departure shortly of Mrs. Gibson,
a daughter, with her husband, for
Peoria, Illinois, where Mr.. Gibson has
made q abusiness engagement. In the
midst of the festivities, which were of
an unusually pleasant nature, Mrs.
Scovill suddenly put her hand to her
head and almost falling over COM

helped to q sofa and medical attend
auce was at once summoned but in less
than half an hour she expired. DR..
Biggar, who attended her, says that
her death was caused by the bursting
of blood vessel, probably induced by
acidity of the stomach.
Mrs. Scovill was apparently in the
enjoyment of perfect health and her
sudden death wac, under the circnm-
stances, most unusual. She was q
woman of rare sweetness of character,
the idol of her little home circle, upon
whom all its members were greatly
dependent. She was fifty-five years
of age.-[Plain Dealer.
Mrs. Scoviil was the mother of Mrs.

It is hard for this generation to real
ize the circumstances under which Its
forefathers labored. The death OF
Mother Sophia Lamphere, at Brimfield
Ohio, March 18th, 1880, at the age OF
seventy-six, calls to mind again some
of the incidents in her life and that of
her companion, who died last October.
He started from Woodstock Green,
Windsor county, VT, in 1915, on his
walk to the West, stopping for awhile
in Gennessee county, N. Y, and reach
ing Brimfield, o., In 1915, walking all
the way, except one days journey,
which the man with whom he had
lived, in Vermont, brought him.
Miss Sophia Moulton reached Brim-
field after forty days. ox-team journey
with her parents, brothers and sisters,
in 1917, and July 4, 1919, the two were
married by Rev. Woodruff. Eight
children were born to this union, the
three survivors all having the precious
privilege of being with their mother at
her death.
Father and Mother Lamphare, soon
after their marriage, opened their house
to. Father Shewell, of Rootstown, who
did the first Methodist preaching in
Brimfield. Mr.. and Mrs. Lamphere
soon professed conversion, and in 1920
their names headed the class organ.
lied at their house, forming the plant
ing of the NJ E. Church in Brimfield.
For sixty years they lived and worked
together in the cause of Christ. Mother
Lamphare made her last days a fitting
close to such a life. Though for some
time so stricken with paralysis as to be
unable to say more than yes" or "no''
she delighted to so use these words as
to testify to the precious presence of
her Savior, His power to give victory
over death, and to take from the hearts
of His followers all fear. ~

A Mothers Grief.

The pride of Mother, the life and

her grief when sickness enters and

BE WISE I'm TIME.

It is a fact well known by almost all
intelligent families that DIR. Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry has cured more
cases of Consumption, Asthma, Bron-
chitis, etc., than any other physicians

lieves, as if by magic, all soreness and
irritation of throat and lungs. 1t is
quieting and soothing in its effect, and
is unexcelled as a general tonic. Keep
a bottle always on hand. A few doses
never fails to cure an ordinary cough
or cold. Price of large pint bottles, 81.

A SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.-Until a
few days ago there stood upon the
farm of Mr.. w. G. Moulton in the
southwestern part of Brimfeld town
ship what is known as q pig-hickory
135 feet in height from root to top
most branches, straight as an arrow
and without branch, knot or limb for
the distance OF IS feet, at which point
the tree forked into two branches.
During a severe thunder storm in the
early spring of 1878 flash of lightning
struck this monarch of the forest just
below the fork, splitting the main
trunk into halves from the fork to the
roots as clean and neatly as though
done with q maui and weges, and in
this condition the tree has continued
to stand until few days ago when it
was cut down to be split into fence
rails, the subtle fluid having perform
ed large part of the work in as neat
and workmanlike manner as though
done by human hands.
