Port Grape Wine.

This Wine is made in New Jersey
and is SAID to surpass anything in the
way of wine ever made. 1t is called
Speer's Wine, produced by Mr.. Speer.
Since the true analysis of it's proper
ties was published by James r. Chill
ton & Co., those who could afford it
adopted its use in preference to foreign
wines. Prof. Chiffon used it in his
own family, and has written to the
public the following card.
Labratory of J. r. Chiffon & Co.,
New York, March il.
We made a careful analysis of the
Port Grape Wine produced by Mr.. Al
fred Speer, and do not hesitate in pro-
nOuncing it pure; it contains all the
properties of the OpOrto Grape, and
therefore, for medicinal uses, it is su-
perior to other wines. Its principal ef-
fects upon the system are mildly stim-
ulating, diuretic, sudorific and tonic.
1t will prove beneficial in affections of
the kidneys and chronic diseases, with
general debility of the constitution.
Physicians may safely recommend it
to their patients, in place of the many
doubtful mixtures too often sold as
pure wine.
James II. Chiffon & Co., Analytical
Chemists.
This wine can be had of NJ. Schneck
and is most excellent article for weak
ly persons, especially females. 1t is a
very superior table wine, and the most
healthy drink now in use. 1t is not a
spirited or manufactured article, like
most native wines.

COfJeSpOndence.
The Porter's Corners Lyceum, gave
their entertainment at the Town Hall
on Thursday evening of last week.
The Hall was well filled and the per-
formance rendered in a creditable maj =
ner. The fore part of the evening was
occupied by recitations, oratiops and
debate. The question, Resolved,
That the Human Family is progriss-
ing," was discussed by Jas. H. Clark
and VIM. Wilson. Two dramas, "Out
in the Streets" and Handy Andy"
were rendered. The orchestra fur
nished plenty of music. The assist
ance of Prof. King, of Palmyra, added
greatly to the entertainment.
The Edinburgh Literary Society
will give an entertainment at the Hall
on Friday evening, Feb. 25. The per-
formances will consist of recitations,
orations, periodicals, debate, panto-
mime, farce, &c. Music will be fur
nished by the Literary Choir and the
Cornet Band.
A revival meeting is now in pro-
gress at Tie Congregational Church.
The meeting was begun on Tuesday
evening last, and was addressed each
evening last week by Rev. D. d.
Waugh, of Alliance. We understand
similar meetings are to be begun at the
NJ. E. Church soon.
Mr.. Wright D. Goss, of New York
City, is visiting for few days at his
p arents, Mr.. and Mrs. D. w. Goss,
He returns to New York the fore part
of next week.
Our young friend, Will Wright, will
soon begin to canvass this township
and Atwater for the " Golden Gems of
Life" We have thoroughly exam
ined this book, and believe it should
find home in every household.

SANDY LACE lTE m =.

The new ice house of Otto SOntum
is being filled with ice fifteen inches
thick.
Mr.. w. J. Cady, young man of
Rootstown, while engaged in cutting
ice, stepped on a piece of ice that had
been partly sawed, which gave way,
letting him into the water. He was
rescued by Mr.. Ed. Allen, of Kent.
Thelschool at the Six Corners closed
one week ago Friday. There was some
dissatisfaction with the teacher, G. B.
Dilley. On Monday, Miss Emma
Reynolds took his place, and gives the
best of satisfaction, and is an excellent
teacher, having taught her first term
here last summer. 1t speaks well for
her to manage a school where an old
experienced teacher fails. We wish
her success.
Many large bass have been caught
the ice here. Warren Carts
caught some weighing over four
pounds. A.

An Interesting Lecture.

Ex-Governor Stone, of Iowa, will
deliver lecture, at the Opera House
Tuesday evening, Feb. %, on the sub
ject of Arizona and the Great South
West. Many of our old settlers will
remember the Governor as a young
man who studied law in the office OF
Ranney and Taylor, in this city, some
thirty or more years ago. The Gov
ernor has fine reputation as an orator
in the West, and is well acquainted
with the country he is to describe to
us, having spent year there. AS the
new railroads are opening up that un-
known land, it is attracting much at
tentiOn. The Governor will give a
graphic description of the journey of
the pioneers of 40 and 80 across the
plains with their ox-teams, and as a
contrast, a trip today by the U. P. r..
r., TO San Francisco. He will give a
description of that city and its objects of
interest, the Bay and Golden Gate. A
rapid word-sketch of the route of the
| California Southern Railroad via Te-
hecapah Loup, where in crossing the
mountains the railroad passes under
itself; the Colorado desert, where the
road reaches point 260 feet below the
level of the sea Ft. Zuma, the hottest
place in the United States humorous
description of the Zuma Indians, who
are noted as fast runners. The Gov
ernOr then describes Arizona, its size,
resources, population and climate. The
Casa Grande and other ruins of the
habitations of a prehistoric race their
irrigating canals, some of which have
been fifty miles long, and laid out with
high degree of engineering skill.
The present native population, Greas-
ers and Indians. Their exceedingly
primitive agricultural and other ma
chinery grinding corn in hand-mill, |
splitting wood with crowbar. cutting |
hay with a hoe. &c. He gives a very
humorous description of the beast of
burden of that country, the diminutive
and patient burro. which fares sumptu-
ously on diet of old newspapers and
empty gunny sacks, and only cares to
have water twice a week. He describ,s
the Church of San Xavier del Bac, one
OF the oldest buildings on the conti-
nent, erected nearly two hundred years
ago under the supervision of the Jesuit
missionaries, and has had services con-
ever since. He gives an ac-
count of the methods of agriculture
now in practice there-plowing with
forked stick, &C., and tells of the inn
mense cacti and other semi-tropical
plants that grow upon the sandy mesas;
describes the mines and mining-how
fissure veins may be distinguished
from pockets or displacements-h
the ore is taken out and reduced to
metals, and exposes fraudulent mining
schemes. All should hear this emf
nent western orator, formerly a Ra-
VIENNA boy. Tickets may be had at
Reeds Drug Store.

ROBERT J. BURDETTE was unavoida-

| ROBERT j. BURDETTE was unavoida-
bly, prevented filling his appointment
last Saturday evening. This was a
great disappointment to many, some
of whom came a considerable distance
to attend the lecture, but all were dis
posed to make the best of the situa.
ton. AS soon as Mr.. Burdette found
that he could not reach Ravenna, he
telegraphed "No trains; no bridges.
Nothing but water. Stop the music. +"
"The dog is dead, 1 cannot get
through" Mr.. Wilson did all posi-
BILE to circulate notice of the disap-
pointment, but he could not reach all.
Burdette's failure was simply una
voidable. He sent Mr.. Wilson four
kilograms, stating facts and expressing
regret. From letter dsted Buffalo,
February 14;h, we quote the follow
ing:
DEAR Mr.. WILSON:
II was ever so sorry to disappoint
you Saturday night, but didn't see
any way to help it unless 1 could buy
a railroad and build train, and l
hadn't time to do that.
1--WE can't help the weather, and
while eur disappointment and sor-
rows Saturday night were mutual and
great, still they didn't begin to com
pare with the sufferiDgs of the early
Christians.
"And then, too, we were not ell
disappointed. There were some pee
pie who were right we'll pleased-the
harmless lunatics who said they knew
wouldn't come. Let US rejoice, then,
that we pleased somebody.
Hoping we may arrange for anoth-
er and more successful meeting, re-
msin, Truly Yours,
"RoBT. j. BURDETTE.'
