FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con-
snlt the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. It's celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to Insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines TO the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but q single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
etc. No other line can offer such advau-
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-I!s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
10 tie saving of much Of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
eeiving letter from one of the B. Il o.
Agents. A letter addressed to W. K
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to j T. Lane
Wheeling. W. Va, to J. A. Webb, Fos'
toria, Ohio; to L. A. Lee GAINESVILLE
Ohio, or call upon either of these gen
tIemen will lead to thorough infnrma
ton as to all necessary details of time
connections, fares, baggage, etc.. etc.

A Curious Phase of Washington
Onicial Etiquette.

The appointment of Mr. Chandler to
the paval portfolio has developed an in
ieresting chase of Washington social
lie 1t will be remembered that when
J. Wilkes Broth was shot the picture Of
handsome lady, a reigning society
belle. was found on his person. The
original of the portrait was Miss Hale,
rhe daughter of a leading politician and
statesman, and lady of whom Booth
had5hecome deeply and seriously enam
ored. What encouragement he had re-
ceived was not precisely known, but
there was enough between them to form
the basis of good many romances,
w,ich anerward appeared in the publ:r
press. Miss Hale sfterward became
Mrs. Chandler, and is now the wife o.
the Secretary of the Navy. The same
whirligie OF time which has brought this
shout has also made the then young son
of the msrtvred Lincoln Secretary Of
War. 1t now appears that according to
official etiquette it is the duty of the
Secretary of War to escort the wife
his Cabinet associate to dinner on state
occasions. He must take the wife O.
the Secretary of the Navy. Secretary
Lincoln, in short, must escort the one
time sweetheart OF the assassin Of his
distinguished father.

-Demorest's Magazine for July is cer-
tsinly the finest number ever issued of
this popular periodical. This interesting
number commentaries the sixtieth birth
day of the proprietor and senior editor,
Mr.. w. Jennings Demorest, and some of
the articles have especial reference to this
event. Among the writers are many names
of literary distinction. Col. Thomas w
Higginson contributes "Brook Farm Pc
riod in New England;" Miss Kate Field,
"English Women in Bondage )" Miss
Alcott, ar. w. Emerson !" and Mrs.
Martha j. Lamb, "Sixty Waymarks in
Universal Progress" Among the poets
of this number are Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton,
Mrs. Sarah Bridges Stebbins, aad George
W. Bnngay. "The Admirals Ward" is
continued, and Jennie June gives another
of her pleasant "Talks With Women, /"
There are also many good short stories,
biographical sketches, household articles,
"Current Topics" "What Women are
Doing" ''Sixty Recipes, "--and Fashions
There are sixty illustrations some of which
are exceedingly fine, especially the oil
picture, "Sunshine and Summer Beauty"
the steel engraving, "Love Asleep" and q
likeness of Mr.. Demorest, taken at sixty
years of age. This number is not only
greatly increased to sixty leaves, but is
also greatly enhanced in interest and
value.

ITEMS FROM SPRING M1ILs.-our little

ITEMS FROM SPRING MILLs.-Our little
railroad city has boon during the past few
weeks the scene of great hustle and stir.
Hemlock and oak bark is shipped in i'm
mense quantities from this place, and as
great deal was peeled this spring the roads
are literally lined with teams drawing it
to the railroad. 1t seems the bark peeling
mania has o'erspread the State, for the
market is stocked so that the price has
fallen over a dollar ton. J. d. Long,
who is the principal dealer here, is stack
ing his bark for the fall trade. p. III.
Stover, of Coburn, is reported to have
over two hundred tons on hand and no
orders coming in. The price at Spring
Mills has fallen from S7.25 to So per ton.
No new buildings have been commenced
since my last letter, but I hear of some
building lots having been sold.
On last Sabbath Rev. w. X. Foster
preached in the Presbyterian church here.
This young minister has accepted call to
preach for the congregations at Centre
Hill and Spring Mills. He will also
preach regularly at Centre Hail. There
is no Presbyterian church at that place,
however, it being merely one of the out
posts of the Centre Hill charge. Passing
out through the congregation last Sabbath
the attentive ear could hear the question,
GLOW do you like him ?" answered i'll
variably, every we'll"
Around Spring Mills, no better crops of
grass and grain have been seen for years
The Spring Mills Sabbath school is
hourishing this summer, the attendance
being almost double that of former years.
The new Summer Resort is doing good
business. Mr. Nash, the proprietor, has
made many friends in this neighborhood.
He has a large number of boarders.
