Obituary,

Died at GreentOwn. August "a, 1882,
MIR. Abraham Smith, aged 40 years, 8
months and 4 days.
The deceased was the eldest son of
our old friend Eli Smith, of Plain town
ship. He was born December goth, 1841,
was baptized into Christ on the goth of
February, 1912, by Rev. j. j. Fast, decd,
and at mature age he confirmed his
baptismal vows in Warstler's Evangeli-
cal Lutheran church, under the pastor
ate of Rev. j. ID. Nunamacher. On the
9th of February, 1868, he was united in
marriage with Julianne Holtz by the un.
dersigned. This union was blessed with
two sons and one daughter, who, with
the greatly bereaved widow and the aged
parents of the deceased, are left to
mourn his loss in the very prime of
manhood. The deceased was an affec-
tionate son, loving husband, dear
father and highly respected member
of the circle in which he moved; above
all he was a devoted and consistent
christian member of the church, and
died in the faith of Christ and the hopes
OF the resurrection of the just. His i'll
ness, long and lingering and sometimes
very painful, he bore with christian for
titude and patience, and at the last
peacefully fell asleep in Jesus.
The funeral services, held in Warst
ler's church on August %, were yery
largely attended, and the occasion was
improved by the undersigned with
discourse based on Thess. 4: 13, IA, ad-
dressed for consolation to the family of
the deceased, and for admOnitiOn to the
largo cOncourse of people present. "Let
me die the death of the righteous"

A winter Course of Lectures.

The inquiry is being made, are we not
to have course of lectures this winterP
The committee wha inaugurated the
Star Course and entertained our people
the last two seasons, we understand,
have disbanded, so we cannot expect
anything from them. There are num-
ber of organizations in the city, designed
to promote the happiness and welfare of
mankind, and as good lecture course is
an auxiliary to this object, t,why don't one
of these institutions take the contract
to furnish US the entertainment similar
to what we have had the last two win
ters. A lecture course speaks well for
the taste and enterprise of our citizens
and should be encouraged.

STATE FAIR AND EXPOSITION.
The keystone state Fair and Pittsburgh
Exposition.

The Keystone State Fair and Pittsburgh
Exposition.
This week the exhibition of the Penn
sylvania State Agricultural and the
Pittsburgh Exposition societies will
open. The entries having closed, the
officers of both societies are very much
gratitied to announce that every avail
able foot of space will be filled with ex-
hibits of the most interesting character.
Every description of machinery will be
on exhibit on and constantly in motion.
Here will be found the pOnderOus en-
gines, the sturdy brick and tile machine,
and from these to the most delicate
piece OF mechanism engaged in the
manufacture of silk and many other
beautiful and intricate products. The
displays Of agricultural implements,
silVerware, jewelry, wearing apparel,
&c, will be Of the most expensive and
beautiful kind. The floral displays,
both Of plants and cut flowers, will be
the best ever shown, while the floral de-
signs will be Of more magnificent
character than ever before attempted In
western Pennsylvania. The decorations
are decidedly of superior character,
and add greatly to the already attractive
appearance of the building.
The display in the live stock depart
ment Will be immense, and 1t Is asserted
that the exhibit Of draught horses will
be the largest and best ever given in
this country, as will be that of the
thOroughbreds. These, together with
the coach, carriage, harness and fine
bred horses, will Of themselves make
splendid show.
The herds Of short horns, Deyons, Jer-
seys, Guernseys, Ayrshires, Holsteins
and other breeds will be represented by
the best stock in the cauntry, filling
every stall-including the large num-
Der OF additional ones erected since last
years show. The displays of swine will
include the choicest breeds to be found
in this and adjoining States. In sheep
the number and quality will be greatly
superior to that of any previous year,
and will be decidedly fine showing of
all the finest breeds. The poultry will
far exceed last years display. 1t will
embrace nearly again as many cOOps
and much finer stock. Three persons
have entered nearly two hundred cOops
of as fine birds as were ever shown.
This Is entirely in addition to the nu-
merOus other exhibitors. Over one hun
dred cOOps will be filled with every
imaginable variety of pigeons. In fact,
the combined exhibition will be of q
character that will crafty the most ex-
acting of visitors, and send them away
with satisfied and elevated idea of the
value and Importance of such an exhi-
bitiOn to the entire State.
The music furnished will be by the
celebrated Great Western Band Q8th
regiment). Excursion tickets at low
rates will be issued by all the railroads,
so that everyone will have an Oppor-
tunity to see the great show, and the
last combined exhibition that will be
held in this section of The State, as the
State society will doubtless move east
ward next year, and it will probably be
a long time before that institution will
again get to Pittsburgh.

The heavy rain of last Saturday not
only filled up the deep cutters on South
Walnut street, but in several cases the
water extended across the entire width
of the street to a depth of six to eight
inches. The City Engineer was down
to see the torrent and said he had never
seen so heavy a rain. Such a body of
water utterly precludes 24-inch sewer
which was proposed, as it would be en-
tirely inadequate to carry off storm
water such as we had last Saturday.
The proper way would be. to dredgp, deep
en- and straighten Shriver's run and di-
vert water from the northern part of
the city to the run by the way of Third
street and other points along the line
and thus relieve the strain of the large
body of water now having only one out
let on Walnut street.

We, will particularly specify that
called at this office on Tuesday after
noon and in tone of voice at once loud
and emphatic, denied that she was
virgin, as she had quite brood of chill
dren by two husbands. The gentle Min
ME nearly pulVeTized the Rep. man be-
fOrehand with parasOl, and he referred
the irate female to this sanctum, and
we denied the soft impeachment, but it
was of no use, and she will sue the DEM
oCRAT man for $1,000 for slander, unless
he says that she was twice married.
The husbands are to be congratulated,
as they are both dead.

vacation. They returned last Friday,
and DR.. Barr's fish stories are way up in
altitude, but nevertheless true. He said
that they had huge sport in catching
trout, bass, and especially the "gray-
ling" which the writer knows to be one
of the gamiest fish in western waters.
In this connection 1t may be we'll to
state that Squire HOssler, the genial
Justice, approached DR.. POrtman, and
with very serious face, said Doctor,
have you heard that the butcher shops
were about to clOse2" The doctor asked
why, and was answered that so much
fish and other game had been shipped
from Michigan by the Canton spOrtsmen
that it entirely ruined the local market.

Squire pill to settle. The Canton peo-
pie feel better after their jaunt.
