DIED, Saturday, July 8, 1881, Bertha
A., daughter of DIR. l.. B. Dittoe, aged
20 years and days. Deceased was born
in Perry county, Ohio, and came to this
county anh State with her parents in the
fall of 1873, and resided here with them
until the death angel called her to that
better world wher. sickness, pain and death
are known no more forever. Miss Bertha
was young lady of bright intellect, kind
and obedient 10 all. and especially to her
parents, who aim ost idolized her, and who
now grieve for her with that sorrow which
only parents feel for their buried offspring
Bertha was a consistent member of the
Catholic church, and received all the rites
of the church, and before her departure
for the spirit world. Up to about three
months previous to her death Miss Bertha
seemed to be enjoying fair health and a
prospect for long life and bright future,
but Notwithstanding appearances the
germ of consumption, whicn she had in.
herited from her mother who died with
tue same OI9e6S6 q 0umDcI Oh years ago,
was lurking withing her. About the date
last mentioned this germ ripened into quick
consumption, and though the best medical
advice and assistance was obtained, her
decline was gradual and death only ques-
,ion of time. The funeral took place Sun
day p. M, the funeral cortege following
the remains from her fathers residence
one and half miles north Of town. to the
Catholic church of this city, where ap-
propriate services we're held, Father Strope
officiating, and from thence 10 the Shelby

The Greencastie Grain Drills.

These drills, cut of which is given
herewith, have been in general use for the
last 25 years, and are built at GreeDcastle,
Penn, by J. Il. Croxsll d Co., who are
dsvoting their entire attention to machine
ry for seeding purposes. While building
plain drills for sowing grain and grass
seed only, they also make a specially of a
combined drill that sows phosphatrs, guano,
or any OF the properly prepared CONNER
cial fertilizers that are found in the market.
The latest improvement come: ted with
this implement is an automatic Cutoff,
which at once shuts off the flow of the fer
tilizer, when the hoist lever handle 10 rails
ed, thus saving. as is claimed, an amount
equal to Is 70 25 per cent. of the cost of
the drill alone each year.
BY using fertilizers the wheat can be
sown somewhat later 20 as better to avoid
the attacks Of the fy, and yet enable the
plant to form good root and thus with
stand the freezing ont that Fall wheat is
often snhjrcs to,
The simplicity and durability of the
drill built by J. B. Crowell Il Co., at once
commend IL TO the farmer. There is no
change of gear wheels to regulate the guam
li.y sown, and the spring hoes which ~re
attached 20 all their No. ] drills, enable
the farmer to prss over ordinary obStruc-
tions without breaking pins. and then
stopping the team to replace them. I'm

tion the point 6nd- its way into the soil,

ON THE OUTER WALLS
Is again the proud banner of the B. &
o., aud by another happy stroke of
enterprise goes to the front.

The Baltimore and Ohio having perfec-
ted all the details of the elaborate series of
Improvements it has been making of late,
announces a change in its time schedule to
20 into effect on the 22d instant. Under
this new schedule the time between Chica-
go and the East is greatly lessened. The
afternoon fast line which formerly left
4:05 now leaves at 5:15, arriving at New
York at $40 the second morning. This is
solid train rnnning through to Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York without change of cars of any class
whatever. The B. & o. is the the only line
offering this great advantage, as by other
lines changes of cars are made except sleep
ers. The great convenience of the entire
train running through without change
must be more apparent to those who have
been forced to change cars at unreasonable
hours of the night and in many ways been
put to no little trouble in getting their
families and baggage from one train to an.
other. There is nothing of this on the B
& D. for if one so shooses the car that he
takes in Chicago he may remain in until
he reaches New York city. AS all the
eastern lines run trains leaving Chicago at
5:15, it is interesting to note that the B.
& o. train leaving at that hour reaches
Washington whole night in advance oi
the 5:15 trains on competing roads-or in
other words, those who leave Chicago fer
Washington via the B. & o. reach there
the next evening, while by taking othe,
lines they would not reach the National
Capital until the second morning. The
time from New York to Chicago is lessen
ed an hour, the fast express being due al
7:30 instead of $50 as heretofore. There
is no material change in the deporture o
the morning train for the East Tht
splendid accommodations offered on th'
New B. & o. Slcepers and the perfect man
ner in which they are kept up increase th'
oommendations of the travelling public
The B. & o. Sleepers are certainly unex
celled in everything which tends to rende
such cars luxurious and convenient. II
fact in many respects they are superior t
vny sleeping cars run anywhere. The.
